Description :
The principle of this team is to have Agnes (the earth harpy) immediately cast her S2 (Avoid Death) on Berg when entering wave 5, and then let the Boss (air juggernaut) kill himself with reflect (it works because ennemies do not have healers). Credits go to my guildmate Ifios who gave me the idea.
For this you will need :
- Agnes reasonnably tanky (mine has ~140k EHP) and very fast. She has to outspeed the adds in wave 5 otherwise she will likely die (she doesn’t have to outspeed the boss, because initially he will hit Olov). I don’t know exactly how much is needed, mine has 195 and it seems to be just enough. She doesn’t need any skill up (although it would help for the waves) because her S2 is natively 2 turns.
- Olov very slow, because he will have avoid death only for 2 turns. His defense doesn’t matter, the boss ignores def anyway, so you just enough HP to survive the 1st hit. 41600 is enough, 38000 is not enough. To maximize your chances you may also want to lower his resistance (to have the boss’s S2 reduce his ATB) but that’s probably not mandatory.
Then you need a team around them to bring them to wave 5 alive. Berg of course, and Titus (ideally full skilled). For the 3rd one, I used the dark ghost because I have him full skill and he’s an excellent control, but a second Titus would probably work. Or a water nymph, why not, but it’s not ideal because the jug could target her instead of Olov.
Strategy :
- Wave 1 : do what you can to keep everybody alive. Do not use your staff.
- Wave 2 : you’ll have the initiative, use the staff.
- Wave 3 : not too difficult. Use the staff as soon as it’s ready AND everybody is full health with healing spells ready.
- Wave 4 : the air harpy will hit first. Heal immediately, then temporize/heal, and use the staff when both Agnes and Olov are full life (or Olov at least 75%, that’s roughly what he needs to survive the Jug’s crit). You just need these 2 for killing the boss, so if another one die it’s not a problem.
- Wave 5 : after the Jug’s first hit (hopefully on Olov), cast Agnes’s S2 on Olov. Then just hit all the adds with S1. Do not try to heal your monsters, you want them to die ASAP to be sure that Olov is targeted. Also do not use buff defs, do not taunt the Jug with Titus. He should hit Olov 4 or 5 time then die, shortly before Avoid Death finishes. It’s relatively close tough. If that doesn’t work, then maybe the Jug didn’t crit enough, or your Olov is too fast.
