Great guide! Detailed explanation which makes it the best naraka guides out there.. thank you for this one!

[@tophersmurf]

Glad it was helpful!

@@tophersmurf hey btw, can you help with me the rune build for tractor?

[@ChildishPlays]

Yet another great video!

[@tophersmurf]

So one error made in the video, I thought "Frostbite" debuff from Kina counted as a CC effect for the purposes of clearing the minion wave. This is not true and therefore Kina does not have any CC effects built into her kit. So you will probably need to bring some form of CC monster like Tractor to help out with landing provokes. How is "Frostbite" and "Move Spd Down" not considered CC effects but "Blind," "Oblivion" and "Silence" are? lol Thanks to user @Æsir69 for pointing it out.

[@TheFelixtan131]

Kina have push back for 2nd skill. That counts as cc.

[@tophersmurf]

@@TheFelixtan131 does it actually!?? I was wondering if it did

Nice Ty !

Of course man wish I could stream more! But you know work and surviving lol

Owh m g is that zairossss!!

[@tophersmurf]

Maybe we’ll get bikini Zairos here haha

[@carlosvaldez3093]

can lupinus (from new server) get the dps needed? seeing how lupinus only got her 2nd skill for anti-dmg mitigation compared to cassie and karambit.

[@muhammadsanusi007]

Lupinus so great

[@tophersmurf]

I know a lot of people who still use lupus in this raid, plus she’s good and some other places to

[@Sxxmaschine]

little add on: if you don't see the dot circles that kill you, turn on *show all field monster skills* in game/battle options x)

[@tophersmurf]

Like the flames on the ground? Or another skill circle?

[@Sxxmaschine]

@@tophersmurf ye those perm flame spots are invisible with that option turned off, experianced it couple of times that people were dying and didnt know to what :)

[@tophersmurf]

@@Sxxmaschine oh wow mine has been on by default I wonder if they accidentally turned it off I’ll have to bring that up in the future for sure

[@cloudstrife6621]

Argen not viable here? And is dark raven worth investment? Is he pvo or pve unit?

[@Sxxmaschine]

@@cloudstrife6621 cassie/karambit to go trough narakas shield. argen can be added when u r confident to avoid taking too much dmg. dark raven def a pvp unit, could synergize well with fire cleaf but i dont have him so cant tell for sure

[@Mad.Edd.702]

I'm going to apply this and try the raid today for kina should I be light element and bring lulu kro karambit or bestet kro karambit? Can I as light heal as good as a lulu? Or should I bring lulu bestet karambit and be water element

[@tophersmurf]

As kina Bastet, Kro, Karambit should be fine! I would have one extra “CC” unit like Tractor ready to swap in during the minion phase, or something else that provides a CC effect. The Karambit might not be enough to full clear the wave quick enough. Let me know how it goes!

[@Mad.Edd.702]

@TopherSmurf thanks for the help I'll build tractor for add stage I'll let you know

[@cabalpirate1310]

Hi Toph, which is better to use. Unskilled awake 13 anavel or full skilled awake 13 Lulu?

[@tophersmurf]

anavel, she does more things, defence break is helpful for the minion phase to help out your karambit or cassie. I havn't used my lulu for months becuase anavel and shushu just better

[@raymondgara]

Nice one.

[@revynsightz]

Sir, as orbia can the minions buff dispell by dark staff?

[@tophersmurf]

No dark staff doesn't have any [CC Effects] water staff does on first skill.

[@tikstiks7037]

what would you bring between an a9 unskilled karambit and an a13+ fully skilled cassie? i'm still saving devilmons for my anavel so giving them to karambit is impossible

[@tophersmurf]

Hmm probably the Cassie, you can always test damage output with the same rune set on the training mode

[@yona6207]

im looking forward for that gear blacksmithing guide! Im always hesistant about switching to an awakaned gear because of the bad stats. Do i risk bad reroll on upgrading my current one?

[@tophersmurf]

So one way that you could do it is keep your current gear and work on a second piece of gear until it’s maxed out. That’s what I’m doing, I’ve got some really low level gear but just building new gear until it’s better.

[@AEsirJL]

Previously i heard kina got no cc for naraka minions wave. But now water is kina cc. Please double confirm this? Thank you so much.

[@tophersmurf]

After further investigation, I guess "frostbite" (which lowers move spd) which is different from "frozen," is not considered a CC Effect for the purposes of Naraka. But some how "Blind" is. Dumb design... So yes you are correct Kina doesn't have CC in her kit and you will need bring a CC monster like Tractor. My bad for the confusion I will make a correction pinned post.

[@AEsirJL]

@@tophersmurf All good mate. Thank you so much. Hope this helps out kina players too, kinda confusing.

[@TheFelixtan131]

Kina 2nd skill has push back. It counts as cc. Use fire hammer. Buldozer is also good to spam during minions. I use argen espino with dozer on kina fire hammer.

[@YnaLyn-tu5pl]

How about the 2nd skill of kina (push back) wasn't that a CC effect?

[@tophersmurf]

@@YnaLyn-tu5pl yea that count's actually, I can't remember if thats new to kina or if I just forgot about it but just double checked and it counts.

[@rawunraun1920]

Hi I'm global player, right now battle pass 5" is Polar Queen fire, did you said next BP pass 5* will MK wind? appreciate if you can tell us the Battle Pass 5* order so far and also for the limited banner order so we can plan our spending. Thanks.

[@tophersmurf]

If I’m not mistaken, I read your patch notes, that you’re getting the wind magic knight, lupinus is pretty good, but not top-tier anymore.

[@jelly8621]

can i use naomi bastet hellea with healer summoner ? not enough mats for karambit Sadge

[@tophersmurf]

You can try, that last dps check maybe an issue. Later game that team would work when your much higher power with better runes

[@jimmypickles5156]

Yohhh!! Toph quick question, you have previously advised we build shushu but what's the easiest way to get that thing? Is it totally random using them stones?

[@jimmypickles5156]

Also I pulled another LD5 the other day, I now have dark panda and light vampire 🎉

[@tophersmurf]

You can also join other peoples dungeons, you get one piece by helping someone else, you can do that five times a week to get five pieces, then you can do it another 5 times for breath of life. It’s a grind but you’ll get it. Hopefully you get lucky on the next one. Oh and GZ on the 2nd LD!! You are rolling!

[@jimmypickles5156]

[@zai843]

What equip effect does it drop? Is it better than white castle?

[@tophersmurf]

most would say this gear is best for orbia's especially, go check out the new video that dropped from Childish Plays, we talk about the different sets.

[@xuweihan1818]

water vampire hunter / karambit for this boss? thanks for replying

[@tophersmurf]

Probably just the Karambit, water vampire Hunter doesn’t bring anything to this raid. There is nothing to strip.

[@xandrelphane]

Can we use light howl instead of water howl in the raid?

[@tophersmurf]

Yea

[@xgadgetid8270]

Karambit need to devilmon? Confused between Lupinus or Karambit 😅

[@tophersmurf]

If you have Lupinus I would probably go for her, she is more versatile.

[@Mahelo-wk7rw]

I have Argen and Bastet max skilled/a9 and hellea fully maxed. That should be a good comp, right?

[@tophersmurf]

Yeah, this is pretty much the endgame composition most people use for the raid now. I just worry that your stats might not be high enough to hit that DPS check yet. It would probably work, though you just Gotta rely on your teammates for healing, which is difficult to do if you’re running with randoms.

[@andyarnaudov1295]

@@tophersmurf Is bastet with 110k argen with 105k enough with 80k konamiya for this raid in ur opinion ?

[@tophersmurf]

@@andyarnaudov1295 I think it could work, but it also depends on your other teammates, and what they’re putting out, sometimes Kona isn’t enough to carry

[@jiangarganian4307]

Would grego do instead of hellea or kro?

[@tophersmurf]

Hmmm… like it probably could work maybe but Hellea is just so reliable. Plus she bring damage taken up. From the skill description of dark Lich it seems like it’s only his damage is more when the target has a dot not the whole teams

[@teosense]

time to play with a real team not a team that likes to kicked a people just because of the leaf symbol A.K.A Bonus ????

[@tophersmurf]

Yea the “sprout” bonus is causing a lot of issues not just in raids but it’s also an unlimited supply of skystones for people farming ruptures.

[@akoSi94]

This should be fixed coz it’s difficult to find a raid party without being kicked out right after you enter a queue xD

[@papalippe3572]

Is fire ifrit good for PvE?

[@tophersmurf]

Yea a really solid fire DPS, I would say sekmet is better in PvE in most cases but Tessa is top tier for PvP.

[@jeanderson.santos.carneiro]

Build argen or karanbit to naraka ?

[@FerdianLeonardi]

want to know too

[@tophersmurf]

Argen, Bastet and Hellea is definitely the team, used by almost all players on the NA server for sure but for the first couple weeks most people won’t have the power to burst through with Argen. I would build karmabit then restore him in a couple weeks.

[@swc_marcthespark]

@@tophersmurf karambit only good for naraka?

[@tophersmurf]

@@swc_marcthespark a lot of people use him as a primary dps for many dungeons, I don’t use him anymore but you can always restore Karambit once you’ve gotten good use out of him

@@tophersmurf okay thanks!

[@taurus4647]

Is this team ok for Naraka? Orbia with Lulu, Kro and Bastet?

[@tophersmurf]

Yea that should work fine, just make sure to have something ready for the minion stages, with extra CC skills. Also your runes may not be good enough for the final 3rd DPS check it takes a lot of Damage, but definitely give it a try.

hello can i ask you how about martial cat water (mina) for swap raven fire (karambit)? sorry for my bad english... terima kasih.....salam dari indonesia

Technically she does work, but your resources are wasted on her, you can use Cassie and Karambit in a lot of other places while Mina is kinda trash.

Can karambit replaced with rossaria?

You could try, but he doesn’t really feel like a raid boss unit. A well-built Naomi and of course Argen, are your top choices for DPS outside of Karambit.
