How to Beat Floor 1 of the New Ratatoskr Boss! (Team, Gear, Mechanics)

[@shonsamuel28]

Was waiting for your video on this, appreciate the guide!

[@Nalyd]

No problem!

[@_Snarky]

Thanks for the guide, phase 2 had some leeway, i managed to clear that even if he got the 100% atk related buff, as long as he doesnt ult you can live. now on to watch your floor 2 video!

[@Nalyd]

Yeah if he has that ult in hand with the atk up, you are done for.

[@johnparker1853]

I accidentally chose the wrong demonic beast so I can't even get the rewards but thank you for the guide. I have a better understanding of it now.

[@Nalyd]

Oof, thats always a bit annoying. Glad I could help though!

[@einrazer]

You still get the rewards if you lose Unless you mean you picked a different one

[@dubbzonlytv6287]

Love the guides bro keep it going❗️💯

[@Nalyd]

Happy to help!

[@jasonmills8853]

I was good until phase 3, couldn't get any meli single cards. I think if I had a few of those it would've been easy but he put a force field and blocked all of my cards so I couldn't do anything. I'll have to give it another try. My team was taking hits pretty well until he got that boost. I accidentally killed one of the stumps. Almost need to write down a plan or create a chart for this lol.

[@Nalyd]

There are a lot of factors that you have to worry about with this boss. Not drawing the right cards is rough. And killing a stump can be really bad if you don't have the other DOT cards to move him.

[@jasonmills8853]

@@Nalyd for sure. Watching several other guides and everyone basically says the same thing. Until the new character comes out it's just waaaaay too RNG right now

[@gumbo909]

I would say give Liz triple def to make sure she’s the lowest hp and make it more consistent for the rat to target Liz over Merlin

[@Nalyd]

I've heard of people doing that. It seems like a decent option.

[@OppenHeimer-sp7wc]

Ooh! guess I can't do it now since I don't have 3 of those unit (only have DK meli). Anyways thanks for the Guide

[@Nalyd]

The team is unfortunately pretty specific as of now. Hoping for some new DOT units to help things out.

[@NAHIDWINx]

i am getting hard stat checked at phase 3 of floor 2.He one shots the whole team. probably gonna need the deer card set and also my box cc is also only 3.6 mil so i guess im fucked

[@Nalyd]

I have seen people say they can do it with 6M or so but yours might be a little low. This is the newest boss so I would try and work on getting some of the other relics to help boost box CC unless you are dead set on getting that Mael relic.

[@boys505]

Can you do a new Nidhoggr Video? I am still struggling on Floor3, I don’t understand the mechanics and I don’t know how to lower the left bar to 0%. I was using the standard Angel Team. 😢

[@Nalyd]

I have guides explaining all the mechanics for the fight already. But I may revisit it soon with the new changes.

[@johnparker1853]

You just need 3 ults to get rid of his bar on phase 1 of floor 3. I run Mael, LR Margaret, Red Freyja and LR Liz for nidhogg. Use everyone's ult besides Liz to get rid of the bar completely. I've tired using 2 ults and a Mael card in the past and even that got him to like 5% gauge remaining.

[@shinbeucorn]

hi i want ask green merlin raknarok charter thanks.

[@Nalyd]

Not sure what you're asking. But that is Green Ragnarok Merlin, yes.

[@whitedeath996]

Ill be doing this on 12 months haha, never bother with these beasts for a while but I do have to say I dont like the design at all. Im not very familiar with him in the actual myths but why make him look like a goofy 90s cartoon? The other 4 looked awesome.

[@Nalyd]

He's supposed to be very mischievous from my understanding. I like it so far, very light hearted.

[@viraldownfall]

Ratatoskr is a Devious squirrel "messenger" for the tree that plays tricks on the other beings to break them into fights

[@JFitxitcut]

Is there any other holy Relic I need beside jelly king?

[@Nalyd]

I would assume having the Liz relic is a must as well but I dont think the Merlin relic will matter and Meli doesn't have one.

[@itztc521]

Would demon Hendricks be good to use

[@Nalyd]

I don't think he will work well enough. Merlin is already incredibly hard to keep alive because her stats are low. Hendrickson more than likely won't be able to survive.

[@Austintwo3]

NM and this having to use very specific cards and type of cards is kinna irky lol not gunna lie

[@Nalyd]

I kinda like it. Cool to get some use out of some cards that don't get a lot of use. I can see how its annoying to some, but I think its fun. I'm sure as we go forward, the new units will make it so much easier.

[@Yuudio]

Did the first two floors with everyone hp def ur using regular substats aside god Meli with atk crit lol.

[@Nalyd]

Dang thats good, I think the Crit Def/Res gear is nice to have a little more room for error but if it works for you then no biggie.

[@drdre74]

I have the worst pulls ever in this game.I dont have any of the deer cards or those characters lol. Pretty much on all the videos i watch.

[@Nalyd]

Unfortunately this is going to be really specific until we get some actual support for the boss.

[@silwerangel]

I don't have blue meli, what now ?

[@Nalyd]

I use LR Zeldris now, but I've seen people use Fitoria, UR Gowther, and Festival Estarossa.

[@gullervepyke]

i dont have jelly king... what can i do? Which character can i put instead of him

[@Nalyd]

You'll probably have to wait for a new unit to come out for this boss then. It's incredibly specific at the moment.

[@gullervepyke]

@@Nalyd thank you bro

[@carlsmithy9908]

is snake boss farmable now?

[@Nalyd]

Yes, he is.

[@pauloleal6160]

Can the crit defense be r gear?

[@Nalyd]

Yeah that's fine.

[@Rynos30]

So now I have to upgrade Merlin

[@Nalyd]

I think she will probably be once of the first units on the team to get replaced but that's just a guess. If you have the mats though, I would go for it if you want to start learning the fight and getting those relics.

[@DaBlondDude]

Hmm .. I never made crit resistance, only crit defense, does that work or should I start building crit resistance sets?

[@Nalyd]

You could try it, I just made those as a recommendation from others really.

[@DaBlondDude]

@@Nalyd Noted, out of curiosity, can we farm the stones just be re-doing floors one and two? I'm not sure if you've tried that 🤔

[@Nalyd]

Yeah you can, the fruits are just drops on the stages. I think I already have close to 30.

[@DaBlondDude]

@@Nalyd Good to know, between that and the world tree that leaves less pressure for floor 3

[@rogue1248]

I heard Maels relic is a meh. Is that true? Cuz i really like the look mirroring Estas relic and the effect of Mael getting ATK related on AOEs and Damage Dealt increase from singl targets sounds like a great deal.

[@Nalyd]

Not sure, gonna wait till I try it for myself before I make an opinion on it.

[@kitkro4679]

Just want to say thank you for the floor 1 guide

[@Nalyd]

No problem, I'm happy to help!

[@whatevah666]

Looks like i'll be farming floor 1 for a while, any good counter teams one could use ?

[@Nalyd]

Fairies are the only other team I know if but I haven't actually seen the setup for it myself.

[@viraldownfall]

just realized he seems to also gain a buff between turns that i wasnt accounting for and wiping to

[@viraldownfall]

Got it though! And even got the kill with jelly king poison attack

[@tcm_flubs1509]

My question is I don’t have that Merlin so what can I use instead?

[@Nalyd]

I don't think there is a good replacement as of now. You must have shock and any other unit with it is either too old with bad stats or can't reliably get the shock off. I think thats going to be the first thing they come out with for this fight though.

[@ikurotu9249]

Floor 3 is so much more gimmicky 😭

[@Nalyd]

I have seen some game play of it and I think its doable but way more RNG.

[@myrs4]

If my understanding is correct: on phase 3, when you land on the left log, you MUST have King's Weak Point or Ult ready to play the next turn. Even stalling (dumping) or merging cards for a Weak Point/Ult to come in is too late. Because on the next turn, since Ratatoskr did not move a log, you get a Buff/Attack/Ult seal (grey debuff) which would make stalling turns pointless. Then it becomes an endless loop you can't break out of. On the middle log, it's still fine because you can still stall for a Merlin Shock which is a Debuff card unaffected by the seal.

[@Nalyd]

I think you're right. You basically have to keep him moving or at least on the middle log for any sort of normal play conditions.

[@jayplasma3374]

I figured out how to beat the first 2 floors while watching your stream playback from the other day. Suffice to say, it was much easier than Nidhoggr floor 1. Not being able to do floor 3 is a pain, but at least it'll only take me 3~ish weeks for Mael's relic instead of 5~ish

[@Nalyd]

Yeah those two floors should go a long way.
