Most helpful. I was finally able to clear it. Had to change a few tarots/gear but in the end I only lost Divine Grace. Got the Reorganized Cube for my trouble.

Used this idea, changed nungal for ballista. It Worked at lvl 41. Thanks a lot.

[@thewobbinator8410]

Suppression is a beast in this dungeon. I think its the stage before this and I'm using the same team and tactical spells. He's the only one tanking that targeted AOE nuke of the boss and just shrugs it off lol.

[@MagusKain]

Thanks for the video. I kept getting close with other guides and honestly it was probably me just playing poorly that caused me to lose. I followed your movements exactly up until around round 8 where there was a lot of deviation. Somehow my Angel ended up with 10 stacks of the DoT but she died the same turn I killed it, so 3 stars.

[@fathernormss]

Awesome guide, thanks!

[@niimo2118]

Wow thx for guide bro u da rill GOAT

[@svaphotog]

excellent video, very thorough. the attack on the marker hits 3 times, so blade would only be able to dodge 2 of them and bite the bullet on the 3rd hit. But it is good to know that with more characters in the aoe area, the dmg will be spread amongst them.

[@LumGaming101]

@@svaphotog actually you would be surprised! blade does tank as well as predicted, and I'll be featuring him in an upcoming revisit of this fight. he's able to build 3-4 stacks of dodge in order to do so since the buff lasts 2 turns

I like how you always start with streaming luck

[@nish2762]

Had a hard time clearing this. There is also a another way using knights. So basically there is one tanker and you will shield him and he/she should be wearing the trinket with stats like he'll have reduced damage while having a shield. The specific items has something like will have a shield at the start of the battle. Forgot the exact words for it. But that was the gist of it. And the one giving shield is the knight with swords skills. To make it OP you also have the aura for knights. Have fun!

Thanks for the guides! Keep up with the good work. Using the exact same comp, some levels higher, same gear (I even have cube on Angel), same tarots, however, my Angel does not clear stigmata stacks on herself, even when I target her with the AoE skill, any idea why ?

This strategy worked on Stage 8 but not on Stage 9. My Suppressor is higher level (44) and stats than yours but he keeps getting one shot. Any chance the devs changed today's Stage 9 boss stats? I run the same team minus Ballista. I tried Inana and Edda but they can't keep the team alive. What is your Talent tree looking like? Perhaps you invested more into certain traits?

[@LumGaming101]

@@junrosamura2720 when does your suppression die? if it's round 1, mine also dies unless he uses devout guard. or did you mean later in the fight? if so he's probably getting one shot because he's taking both the aiming marker nuke plus the basic attack. non-dodge tanks can't handle both mechanics at once.

[@Fab2811]

Would Supression be better than Gloria in that team comp? She could bring her aura to buff Ballista and also help with energy, damage mitigation, and movement.

[@LumGaming101]

@@Fab2811 yes, Gloria probably could work, she definitely helps Ballista's damage. the problem is she doesn't have self-heal and self-cleanse for the stigmata stacks, so she's much more reliant on your healer. Suppression is like a 1 man army against this boss. the benefit with Gloria, besides what you mentioned, is she would add significant DPS both from her AoE attacks, and buffing your team. the trade-off is the survivability of your tankline. let me know if you try it out and it works!

[@Fab2811]

@LumGaming101 I tried the 60 stage at lvl 43 with Gloria, and I got the boss down to 30%. It was rough. My Ballista was still struggling to stay alive even with the aura, and Gloria could tank a hit, but Angel couldn't solo heal everyone. Maybe it is possible with some gear upgrading, but I think another healer or Suppression would make it easier. Welp, it was worth a try.

@@blacktrumpet7808 ah makes sense. i think my original reply got cut off somehow. when does your suppression die during the run? i never had a problem with him dying except when 1) on turn1 if i dont cast devout guard right away, or 2) when i tried or accidentally had him tank both the aiming marker mechanic plus the simultaneous basic attack on the same turn. only dodge tanks work to eat both at the same time. is the latter what happened to you?

[@FlinxRys]

Samantha is quite difficult for this fight since she cannot AoE heal every turn. But she can solo bait the marker 2x because of her passive. making it more manageable. If you can find a way to sustain the party reliably, then Samantha would be a good pick as well.
