If you haven't managed to get any of the core damage dealers like Hvitar in S1, why not try building a Rally lineup around Philto? It can perform surprisingly well in the Grand Gladiator Arena. This guide offers a brief overview of the lineup's strategy for your reference.
Team ConfigurationThis lineup is centered around Philto. When he consumes Rally to cast his ultimate skill, he can deal devastating damage to a wide area of targets. Paired with teammates who provide him with damage buffs and Rally, his first ultimate skill can wipe out a large number of enemies. With every ultimate skill restoring his Ultimate Energy, he can cast it frequently to deal massive cumulative damage to break through the enemy's front line, even against durable defensive lineups.
Basic Team
Team Composition: Philto + Garius + Nathaniel + Iola + Alvis
- Build Reference
Summary: Use Garius to lure most enemies into the range of Philto's ultimate skill. If Philto's battle skill can hit 2 or more enemies, he can provide sufficient Rally stacks for himself and Alvis. Otherwise, you'll need to replace Iola with Tathlyn to ensure Philto has three stacks of Rally when he casts his ultimate skill. Tathlyn's Rally application efficiency depends on his basic attack frequency, so it's best to stack as much Attack Speed as possible for him. If your opponent doesn't have heroes who provide shields, like Felosia, Philto's Artifact can be replaced with the Flute of the King to further increase his damage.
Advanced Team
Team Composition: Philto + Acilia + Mithrasea + Alton + Lorentheel
- Build Reference
Summary: Equip Lorentheel with the Rift Clepsydra and stack as much Skill Haste as possible. Cast his ultimate skill first to trigger the Puppeteer Revelation effect and help other Radiance allies cast their ultimate skills faster. If you have plenty of good damage-dealing equipment, Alton can serve as a secondary damage dealer to help Philto clear enemies outside the range of his ultimate skill. Otherwise, choose the Brotherhood Spirit set to further increase Philto's burst damage. Equip Acilia with the Prismatic Cloak and stack some Resistance to ensure she can heal and dispel debuffs for her team without being controlled. Mithrasea's main role is to further increase the lineup's fault tolerance. She can also be replaced by other supports who can enhance the team's survivability, such as Tamar, Sagomir, or Grishnaar. |
