Mother Whale Campaign Boss Stage 21-32 Strategy Guide - Tips/Tricks [Goddess of Victory: Nikke]

[@delxiv]

EFFING THANK YOU. Your guides are clear, concise & detailed. Took 3 tries with Dorothy, Noah, Scarlet, Moderna & SmolSnow. Switching to manual and popping Auto for Noah's taunting defense at the right time with the summoned Raptors and focusing on the ports with high auto assist were absolutely key thanks to you. Even being 2000 under leveled, was able to beat it

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Appreciate your support! 😊

[@ReturnOfCorrie-_-]

Im like 14k underpowered😭

[@delxiv]

@@ReturnOfCorrie-_- try increasing your Syncho station in the post. Leveling up your gear also helps. But yeah, being that far underlevel, you are at a bigger damage and armor penalty than I was - the fight is way harder for you than me. Good luck!

[@zallvoscoff8500]

Yea bruh I know right really good guide is all I can say

[@passiveaggresivesquirrel2052]

my ass attempting this while under 12k cp

[@zel4582]

the tid bit on the top turrets being weaker in HP and that killing any of the turrets shaves off so much HP was a huge help, thank you.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

My pleasure!

[@MarcosFaucon]

1 month stuck with this boss and almost dropped the game, 20 minutes after watching your guide I finally defeated it, thank you so much!!!!! I used Liter, Diesel, Red Hood, Modernia and Noah

[@bjremix456]

How much combat power did you have when you do this figth ? I want to try this setup to see if i can defeat that dam whale

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Amazing! Thank you for watching!

[@Georgiovaultis]

holy shit took me a year and a half, this boss made me literally quit playing for 6 months and when i come back, im determined to beat it, after watching this video i did it in 30 mins THANK YOU SO MUCh

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

👊👊

[@burg3575]

"What is it doing!?" was the ongoing thought in my head when I was fighting this thing for the first couple of tries. Surprisingly easy once you figure things out

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Haha yeah, my first few runs were exactly like that! I was going in blind and didn't know where to look Then I started to optimize on what I should do during each phase

[@sentientboxofcookies1843]

I’m about to tango with the hard version of Mother Whale, I’ll comment again when I finally beat it

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Looking forward to it!

[@210chillian8]

Did you do it?

[@azninvasion]

Thanks for the guide, I finally beat it. My problem was that those summoning ports are so tiny, I seriously couldn't see them on my phone. Also when she spits out the missiles, the auto aim kept sticking to the missiles vs the summoning ports - i had to keep readjusting my aim because the auto aim would pull my aim away. The "Summoning Port" text straight up covers the ports.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Yeah it was weird having to actively fight against the auto aim for this, since it keeps snapping on to targets you don't want to shoot at

[@Qeros]

thank you so much, I was struggling to solve this the whole day but the recommendation of a taunter manged to help, although my phone crashed during the last 3 bars of the boss on my first try, I spent another 2 hours and managed to beat it using liter,crown,laplace,modernia, and noise

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Perseverance pays off! 💪

[@miladysnowdrop7304]

Thank you so much for the tip with focussing just on the R1 summon ports! Burst with Dorothy at 2:45 and then burst every time you can did the trick for me, and I do not have Modernia or Scarlet (did it with Dorothy, Noir, Blanc, 2B and Alice at lvl 219).

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Amazing to see that this is totally viable without Modernia & Scarlet! Dorothy comes in so clutch with her AOE, while the bunny girls do their thing 😄

[@delxiv]

Serious KUDOS to making it happen without the Pilgrim attack meta units! Especially at LVL219.

[@TrollOmnipotence]

I couldn't beat it till today because I though it was like the raid where you would break the core first. Thanks for the clarification that the ports needed to go down !

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Glad I could help! Yeah it gets tricky sometimes. The same boss can have different attack patterns and play styles between: story, raid, coop, interception...etc

[@HoyokuTenshou]

Thanks for the guide - took ages, but I barely scraped through with Doro / Noah / Modernia / Scarlet / RH after about 50 tries.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Glad you passed! All that matters ☺️

[@thechocotaku4813]

I've finally been freed from this nightmare roadblock. You have my gratitude. Very helpful guide.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Nice going! You can finally move on to better things 👍

[@hotkoyoto]

Been stuck on this boss half a year and after watching this video....and about 20 more tries and (with the edition of crown) I was finally able to beat it. Crown, Doroth, Modernia, redhood, and noah was the set up. Had RedHood burst focus the ports, while Crown split tanking with Noah (and with severely underleveled my team was. Crown's damage boost helped IMMENSELY). Mind you, I was a good, 4-5k under. Since I think had maybe a total of two overload pieces throughout my entire team.

[@Phobos_Thanatos]

THANK YOU! 6 months... 6 months of struggling with this son of a gun and this guide helped me so much. Noah, your now going to be team member forever.

[@Attackle]

You can replace a taunter with a dedicated healer like Rapunzel, but you need to facetank the whale's Hurtle after destroying all of mini raptures. Remember : less raptures = less damage by the Hurtle My team comp : Dorothy/Maxwell/Scarlet/Centi/Rapunzel 147k CP

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

That's an excellent alternative - thanks for sharing! Rapunzel can also work extra duty, in case you loose someone (And hopefully I can get a Rapunzel soon as well!)

[@Attackle]

@@SquishyRollingPanda You're welcome. Good luck rolling for lewd nun.

[@EatingWaffles]

How did you tank the Master Raptures part?

[@Attackle]

@@EatingWaffles After facetanking the whale's Hurtle, I used Rapunzel's Burst to heal up all my Nikke's HPs, and thanks to the facetanking, my covers still had high value. Then I just sat there and prayed that my HP + cover was good enough to survive the Master raptures's onslaught. Sorry for the late reply.

[@PapaFunDip]

thanks a ton i roughly followed this team Dorothy/Blanc/scarlet/noir/rapunzel and got it done. Thank gacha jesus i got rapunzel yesterday

[@monkeymita]

Thank you!!! I was actually over the power limit and kept losing before i even got the bars to 130. I felt kinda stupid not jnowing what to do but this made so much sense. Smol White came in clutch and helped turn this around 🙏🏽

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Glad you were able to beat it! 😊

[@anubis19801]

Same, I'm at 220k CP and I was wondering why my party kept getting decimated shortly after Mother Whale erects her barrier and deploys her minions en masse. Not to mention the fact that all of them were only taking 1 damage per hit. And this is despite Rapunzel being a mainstay in my team. I'll try switching around some of the other members as recommended in this video and give it another try, I've been stuck at this boss fight for the past week or so now. X_x x_X

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Good luck, hope the tips help you out!

[@anubis19801]

@@SquishyRollingPanda Update: I switched around my team a bit and used Dorothy, Centi, Scarlet, Noah and Rapunzel and the fight was a breeze this time around, no one even came close to dying aside from Noah whose health never dropped below 50%. Thanks so much again for uploading this vid, I'm so happy to have finally cleared this fight, hopefully none of the chapter bosses from chapters 22-26 have a similarly annoying gimmick. XD

[@Zhxdow87]

Thank you so much! I just focused on the summon ports and it worked like a charm. I was already overleveled, my team was Dorothy, Blanc & Noir, Modernia and Scarlet. Im still looking to get Noah someday 😅

Bruh.. thank you so much. I was struggling trying to manual this with bunnies, liter, and scarletbs with 195k. Beat this easy with your comp

[@RagingRequiem]

I was stuck on this for long while. Ended up using dorothy, diesel, smol white, rh and privaty at a 29k deficit. Honestly dont think I used my diesel to taunt well enough because my privaty ended up dying to the master raptures. But the tips still helped and I finally managed to take this beast down 👍

Today I finally completed this, after followed your team and guide. Thank you very much.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

[@whitemale2230]

I used Crown, Liter, Red Hood, Harran, and Rapunzel. Harran's burst clears the ads pretty effectively and she has high burst generation + she does lightning damage.

Super happy you were about to turn it into a win so quickly! 😁

[@therandompersona]

Finally did it, though I deviated a bit from the guide because I possess 0 pilgrim DPPs so I had to go for the core first otherwise it would put up a shield and I couldn't deal with the mobs. Won with Liter (Trial version), Crown, Asuka, Noah, and Ein.

[@HolyTrinity-bz4li]

You have great guides! I use them as a point of reference when I need them. Also, I have an "off the cuff "question. Did Noise's taunt get noticeably worse since the patch? While doing Train today it feels wayy harder to taunt the turrets. I barely had any of these problems post-patch.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Thank you!! And yes, all taunts changed a bit in the most recent patch. In short, the last patch inadvertently changed how taunting works, but it will be reverted. Essentially, once the red circles appear, the enemy has already locked on to a target and it will not change, regardless of any taunt mechanics. Previously, you can use taunt right up to the point before the projectiles are fired. Devs will be fixing this

[@HolyTrinity-bz4li]

Ooh okay. Hopefully they fix her soon, train really isn’t the same without her. Thanks for the clarification!

[@Lucky-lt7lz]

mother whale cleared at 118k cp team: liter, centi, redhood, smol white, noah only redhood was overload gear had a leg and arm both charge time up centi is needed to make sure burst is active for most of the fight smol white is actually really good at clearing the adds if you get her on the correct cycle noah is to taunt that exact section, so technically any taunter can replace noah

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Excellent use of Centi to generate quick bursts!!

[@sul8802]

Anyone that immediately came here because of the solo raid, Hands up.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Haha thanks! Though I have a feeling that for higher stages of solo raid, it might be better to destroy the core first, in order to prevent ultrasonic wave, so that the rapture adds are less tanky Edit: See my new reply below. Long story short, it's actually the opposite.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Just an update on this, as I finished up to level 6 on solo raid. Breaking the core feels like the best strat from level 1-5. Starting at level 6 however, Mother Whale is just as tanky as in 21-32, so it's a toss up. If you have enough DPS, I'd focus the core first. If not, just focus on destroying as many summon ports as possible.

[@sul8802]

Im already cried at 3 with 160 modernia and you reached 6 already... Dang

[@sul8802]

[@lahayan]

Clearly, without Noah / Dorothy I'm stuck for a long time... I tried: Litter / Diesel (taunt) / Modernia / Red Hood / Scarlet all at level 213, and I can't kill that boss

[@OhitsONnow]

That was god awful but I did it I took a page out of Neon's book and busted a hole through Whale's core. Removing the hurdle all together via Red Hood But she only removed half of the core HP So I did a little thinking: This team might be a little "flex" but... From left to right Liter -MAX ULT Naga- Skill 2 MAX Da Red Hood - MAX ULT Modernia Crown - SKILL 1&2 MAX Naga & Crown are simply buffers for Red Hood going through stages I II & III Naga @ skill2 max gives 40% dmg when attacking core Crown blasts atk power even further when an ult is used--even if its not her own. With that I was able to clear I was also above level :x And remember everyone: Firepower!!!!

[@Zendavth]

Thanks for the guide! Tried your comps but with Makima as tank instead but still failed(cant seems to destroy all the raptures fast enough). Changed Liter to Dorothy and Guilty to Drake and still failed many times. And suddenly I beat it and idk how lol. For the first phase we need to aim manually at summon port(that goddamn thing is small af) since our Nikkes wont start shooting until the missile bombs is launched. And it's best to aim manually first at summon port to generate burst energy. After clear first phase better leave to auto AI for aiming summon port lol. I really dont know how I clear the raptures horde and where Dorothy burst targeting since I leave it on auto. When big raptures horde spawned, Makima tanking it and died. Luckily until the end I can survive with Dorothy burst only and it's such a close run 2 min 40 sec lol Oh and I have a question, can we get T9 gears from outpost and arena shop? If yes, what level of outpost to unlocked it? Or we need to beat specific stage at campaign?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Haha yeah, the tank is supposed to be sacrificial lamb, while the rest of your team destroys summon ports Yes, the outpost starts dropping T9 gears at level 144 (10% chance)

[@Zendavth]

@@SquishyRollingPanda thanks for the answer! 4 more levels to go!

[@ShogunPlasma]

@@SquishyRollingPanda How do you know the exact number?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

It was just through data gathered by the community 😊

[@ShogunPlasma]

@@SquishyRollingPanda Interesting, because I remember trying to search for that informationn myself and through no source was I able to find anyone who could confirm when T9 drops in the store and in Outpost loot. Most simply assumed you could only get it through Special Interception.

[@hgtdend4672]

Idk if we're playing a different game or what mine drops those raptures already tanky as hell and no way to destroy them and remove the barrier

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Is it the raptures that only take 1 damage per hit? For these raptures, you need a machine gun unit to kill them quickly as MGs shoot fast + high ammo There's also a small window of time before the barrier spawns, where the raptures won't be tanky yet

[@hgtdend4672]

@@SquishyRollingPanda thanks i will try and reroll ammo on my modernia

[@Keirnoth]

@@SquishyRollingPanda For me the initial raptures just have too much HP. I hardly have any OL units and they take forever to kill. These strats would work if we're properly equipped but I'd like if you could provide strats for people who aren't. This is not necessarily your fault, but a lot of these guides assume you're decked out with an OL team with high levels, and that's not necessarily the case for a lot of us. And it's not like the game will let you take the OL gear off since it's "stuck" to you, so there's no way to simulate weaker equipment. It sounds like I'm gonna have to spend a couple weeks just farming OL gear and hope for the best.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

It's unfortunate that the game pretty much expects people to have a certain level of DPS/equipment at some point. Even for my Tetra menu equip, I've had to refrain from OL, so that I can equip them to Modernia instead If I do find some sort of cheese method, I'll be sure to share!

[@tomoyukisaito5275]

Okay so this is going to be the next Wall in my progress then it seems. My main team is just about at the power level but they don't deal enough damage obviously to just out power Queen Whale And the fall back option you gave is 20K power Weaker. Which means Im going to have to stop and just grind again for another month or so to hopefully power up those girls.

[@djow4725]

you should mention there is a new really insanely low clear with RH + smol White where you DPS down the core first for the clear while Smol White takes care of the projectiles/mobs with her random aoe. This works with dorothy-less players: Tia-Liter-Naga-RH-Smol White, so can clear without dorothy! I cleared at lvl 205 at 122k CP but I saw players in clear info clearing at low 200s and 115k CP. takes a bunch of retries but eventually smol white's aoe will time well and clear all three mob waves and tia will taunt the master-class raptures. core should be dead around that time and then you just kill like 3 or so parts with RH's solo B1-B3 burst for the win. a bit over 2 minutes for the full clear. i found that bastion on smol white helps her aoe timing sync up better with mobs.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

That's really interesting to note - hanks for sharing your insights! 😊

[@AkoTamaki69]

Thanks to you, I was able to beat it finally, Much thanks

[@Ricelord4]

OMFG! THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! I couldn't get past the Master-class Raptures with Liter, Naga, Scarlet, Modernia, and Noah. But I followed this advice and beat it on the first try. Party was lvl 217 with 129,321 Combat Power.

[@darkflames190]

BROOO, THANK YOU FOR THE GUIDE SHIT I finally got over the fucking whale my team com was liter(free use) , noah, moderna, RH then scarlet AGAIN THANK YOUUU

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

No problem bro 👊

[@vowgallant4049]

I can't even make it to the hurtle. I don't even understand. I have the same setup at higher levels and the instant the first mob comes in they just fucking oneshot my team one by one, and there is nothing I can do about it. It just KEEPS summoning them so I can't clear them all, and there is no window in between when they are summoned and the wave either. Like mother whale is summoning way more raptures for me in the first wave and I can't get anywhere close to killing them all before my whole team is dead.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

If you have the same team composition, try to time the activation of your Scarlet burst for right when the first wave of mobs spawn in

[@HummingbirdPlays]

Beat her with Dorothy, Alice, Scarlet, Blanc, and Noir at level 210 each. Not an easy fight, but my gosh Doro’s burst is awesome for this (better than Scarlet’s imo since it’s burst 1)

[@herbliss33]

i just beat this with: Naga, Tia, D, Privaty, Red Hood. my strat: TAKE OUT THE CORE first with Red Hood burst III before MW spawns any enemies ... then the fight is much easier (the core provides the buffs to the waves of enemies... take it out, they have no buffs)

[@lucasduck7717]

A tip if I dont have Modernia, Scarlet and Guilty?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

For B3, provided they are invetsed: Alice/Snow White, Maxwell For B2: Viper, Rupee

[@randomcatontheinternet2771]

cleared mine after i replace Centi with Diesal love the 1k ammo to clear the 1 hit damage mods i don't have modernia or scarlet only alice and maxwell unfornutely as my main dps

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

An invested Alice + Maxwell can be just as strong! And yeah, any machine gunner (if you don't have Dorothy) is super helpful to clear the 1 dmg mods. Grats on clearing the stage!

[@chipshooter8880]

how do i kill the 2nd wave of raptures? that laser shower attack keeps wiping out my whole team. using dorothy, guilty, snow white, modernia, and noah with 145k power (dont have scarlet and alice’s skills are too low level)

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

If it's the laser attack in the second half of the fight, counter it by timing Noah's burst so that your team is invulnerable. I show this at 03:07

[@georgestevetorres4909]

Did it today with no modernia or repunzal. It's Dorothy, Emma, Blanc, Privaty & Noir. With 2 overloaded pieces each and skills at 5 each except emma Max to protect from lasers

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Amazing! Glad Emma and the bunny girls came in clutch for you! 😁

[@christianbookman5647]

What do I do about the shield it puts up?

[@RIGAUX_]

I just did this boss today, brute forced it with Soline and Asuka

[@Gasconer]

Trying to do this stage on mobile feels impossible screen to small to get to see all the raptures and playing on horizontal is a no go only makes things smaller.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Mobile totally makes things harder. Even in PC, I could barely see the spawn ports! 😵 Try turning up the aim assist all the way up

[@fosts4897]

I don't have heavily invest attacker burst II, I have Guilty and Rupee MLB. Should I just use Rupee MLB or Guilty no LB? and if I use them, is it okay to just get their skill to level 4? Also 2:30 The whale doesn't disperse its shield for me and just start summoning more rapture with its shield intact. Why?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Rupee MLB hands down Hmm, the shield should disperse once the rapture adds are destroyed. The other option is to destroy the core, which stops the shield from generating

2:48 My runs usually end here because Mother Whale uses the lasers which instakill half my team. I take it killing all the Raptures here will allow you to skip the lasers?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Yes, killing the raptures will skip that attack. I was able to bypass this by timing an AOE burst to destroy the raptures

[@Dwesk]

man i'm not even past the 160wall yet and my core (crown, sbs, asuka, dkw, rapunzel) doesn't seem even remotely the type of comp (crown excluded) to be strong enough to beat this unless I get hella overload gear so I might just be hard stuck here for weeks despite pushing content with a solid 20-30% deficit with the ocassional rental use before reset, sadly up until this point :|
