Melantha is targeted (physical damage) for having the highest HP and Durin is targeted (arts damage) for having the lowest HP. Targets will change if introducing operators who meet the HP thresholds.
Tips for readers: Durin is used due to her relatively low HP and her talent Lucky Lass which allows her 50% chance of Arts Dodge, increasing her survivability against the Rat King's Sand Tome spell. Also, if this exact strategy is to be used, it is highly suggested that you use 4-stars for most of the role in this stage since a lot of deployments are needed to be done early and personally, this was my exact issue when using higher-rarity units to complete the squad
I just did this with Liskarm in that same position. Other 3-block defender should work. You need to retreat Kroos a little earlier and place Mousse or support unit blocker on the square directly north of the defender, before the shielded enemy reaches them. They will tank it without too much trouble especially if you use Perfumer's skill.
I had my Cuora at a high enough level that she had higher HP than Melantha, so I shifted Amiya (in place of Steward) one space above where Perfumer was in the video facing down, and Perfumer went one space left of Amiya facing right.
Thanks man. Took a hell of a lot of tries but ended up swapping Kroos for Exu, Durnar for Lizkarm (defence ability, attack ability leaves her stunned and lets them through), swapped Mousse for s3 Silverash support (only on the right side, still used her in the middle). I also ended up putting both power supplies on the medic. Finally done with this god forsaken event lol.
Thanks for the video, it really helped me do the missions with my units... i dont have the time to invest on finding a strategy for low stars but it got me to know more about where the enemies go. I always thought the first tank goes in a straight line and makde my normal mode a nightmare to complete
I just finished everything of the event. Even with 5 stars and 6 stars i cant pass 7 and 8 let alone CM of them. After watching your guide I finished all of them. I can't imagine how you figured these out with 3 and 4 stars. Thank you very much. subbed.
@@MefoWho Operators that take the place of multiple units such as saria, nyearl, silence, or specter are almost always worth the extra dp. Having a myrtle also fixes the high dp costs. Seeing these low star clears is amazing though.

Thanks for this. Now all Code of Brawl missions have been completed. Took me four tries to get it right. Ultimately replaced Steward with E2 Ejayfalla to take care of the grunts in the upper right corner faster
The moment I see the condition with the 6 spaces not being deployable, I was expecting ground level. Then I watch the video, the moment the map appeared... HIGH GROUND PLATFORM?!! I WAS NOT PREPARED!!! 🤣 Gonna follow your guide through and through. Thanks Doc.
My Myrrh is more or less completely untouched so i tried replacing her with a borrowed Ptilopsis only for Melantha to still die against the Rat King, but managed to get him down in the top left corner with a ton of redeployments and Astesia ended up costing over 50 points at the end
I'm not sure why but I did this once in practice and it works but when in the real fight Mhyrr can't keep up with the rat king's dps on melantha, causing melantha to die alot. Sometimes Durin will die even if you follow step by step. I guess sometimes you have bad luck and the stars align where the rat king cast his magic and attack consecutively. But still a good guide tho, I'm too small brain to figure this stuff out. It's always the beginning that is hard for me as I don't know where to put the units.
Tips for those, whose Defenders already have higher HP than Melantha: 1) Replace Mel with a Crusher (E1 lv 60 Crushers have more HP than E2 lv60 Hoshi, Shu and alike), just don't use their stunning skill, use the other one. 2) Use your Support slot to bring a Charger Vanguard or a fast redeploy for stalling the boss. Since Crushers have 2 blocks, closer to 30/35 your Crusher will block an Elite enemy (Greytail Leader) together with the boss and might crumble (an E2 max Crusher with more healing might cope, but I used E1 lv 60 Wind Chimes xD). 3) Use your free operators and the Support unit to deal with the Greytail then and to stall the boss until you can redeploy your Crusher. 4) Catch the boss with the Crusher when he is moving up in the middle lane, in Gummy's range (I used Shu instead of Gummy, better healing is always welcome), then redeploy your remaining ops around to help kill the boss and for more healing.
Thanks so much for the guide! Had to wrack my brain to work out alternatives hahah Though this CM stage finally got me to put materials into Durnar :') Since I didn't lvl Mousse though, I took Eyja from support to replace Kroos for the arts dmg and NearlS2 instead of Gummy to heal the initial wave until I could get Eyja out, since I needed Melantha and Durin out before I could place Eyja. Then I just needed a simple defender to take Mousse's spot. Also, I had WarfarinS1 instead of Myrrh which worked fine. On earlier tries, my Cuora (E1-60), kept dying when the last 2 casters came out, could be because I placed her too late and couldn't proc her S2 fast enough. Replaced Steward with MostimaS3 On my clearing run, Cuora still died before the bully and greytail (my bad tho, I should have used Mostima's skill earlier), so I had to place my initial vanguard (Texas) there to hold the greytail while the Bully went for his last lap before I used Eyja's S3 to take him out before he leaked All in all, thanks for helping me to clear this last CB stage, couldn't have done EX5-8 without you :')
This was **really hard** to do without a 2-hit healer, Mousse, Durnar and E2 Cuora... the pains of being f2p but having a lot of expensive characters and *not all* of them.
Well, I cleared EX7 non-CM after like 15 practice runs, tweaking and trying all the while... And now while trying CM I just need a little switch and my IRL sanity is 0. Nope, that's one shiny rock I will salute as it leaves this event unclaimed. Maybe after a few more starter tag recruitment permits spent on Durin I'll stop being consistently 1 DP short at the worst time every time. Or I can level 3 and 4 star, who knows.
I'm almost finished but for some reason, Melantha dies the last minute afterwards, all my operators are gone dead. 🤣 I repearted this so many times but so worth it 😂👍🔥
at last,done. I had Saria(E2-30) instead of gummy, it worked but only with her first skill(7), Lap (E2-20) instead of mousse, worked great, killed those shield dudes way faster, hoshi (E2-30) had cuora spot, so I had to put Lap behind her instead of by her side, also moved nightingale (E2-20) and ejajafjajala (sup, E2-50) up, cause hoshi is the char with most HP in the game, lap took the cross, but nightingale got her back. top lane had siege (E2-20) at first then shaw (E2-20, just because...) with the the only supply I used to keep enemys on the move so she wouldn't die until jajafjajala killd them all. Also Ansel worked instead of Myrrh, yeah, 3 stars is lower than 4. I had Silence (E2-20) in Gavels place cause 1. I don't have nor want to level Gavel and 2. I tought Ansel might need help before Hoshi took the cross away from Melantha, but he didn't, it worked, maybe the support was overkill, shaw with suply was doing an amazing job pushing enemys, even 12f would work out there, it'd only take longer Anyways this was the hardest one for me so far, those cheap healers and tanks are giving me a very hard time to keep up, I even used Noir at an earlier stage just to compensate... I love those vid's and trying to adapt to my ops, keep at it bro
I can't take this anymore. Really this fu..... stage makes me literally going nuts. I am so upset because of this crap. I can not even place my Operators in time. I tried to find the right ones exchanges with your low ones. I never use low ones so it is not easy to adapt. I use those for this stage: Saria E2 Skill 2 Hoshiguma E2 Skill 3 Lappland E2 Skill 2 M1 Eyja E2 Skill 3 Angelina E2 Skill 3 Ch'en E2 Skill 2 M3 SilverAsh E2 Skill 3 M3 Exusiai E2 Skill 3 M1 Myrtle E2 Skill 2 Texas E1 Skill 2 Shining E1 Skill 2 Silence E2 Skill 2 Nightingale E2 Skill 3 Support Unit I used a highly leveled Schwarz at E2, Astesia or Mostima so far. Mostima was the most useless one so far. Astesia worked the best but also not with a winning end.
its still a theory because i cant execute it, but i think you can use eckogen normal mode strats here, just replace the bottom lane vigna with self healing guard like utage, hellagur or even jaye so they could survive the caster without healer its still a theory tho cuz i didnt build my utage or jaye yet :/
I finally did it... I finally did it! Sweet mother of whatever god you believe in (or not, I guess), I can't believe this finally worked, I was so relieved when the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" popped up on the screen that I screamed out loud. Less than a day for the event to end and the RNG goddesses finally smiled upon me and both Durin survived and everything else kinda worked. I say kinda, because Melantha died at some point, but luckily I had brought a SilverDaddy friend support with me, and he tanked the Rat King like a champ in Melantha's absence. There was also a leak on Cuora's side, a Greytail survived with a sliver of health left when Cuora's skill ran out and proceeded to march super quickly to the tile above her, but thankfully I had Vanilla waiting on the bench to deal the finishing blow. She almost didn't survive long enough to deal said finishing blow, but it worked out, somehow. This event was truly insane. To give you some backstory, my Arknights career started a month and a week after the game's release. Obviously, I've had a month and a week less than people who started playing when the game launched to raise my operators, and I also didn't get any mats from the Grani event because I joined right after it ended. Now, since I started following your guides, I managed to raise my untouched Dur-Nar to E1 level 60 skill level 7, my Vanilla from skill level 4 to skill level 7, my Gummy from skill level 4 to skill level 7, my untouched Ethan to E2 skill level 4, my E1 level 60 Cuora to E2 level 30, my Mousse from skill level 4 to skill level 7, and my untouched Durin to level 30. Thankfully I'd saved a *ton* of sanity potions for this event, otherwise I wouldn't have managed to do nearly as much, being fully a F2P player. This stupid stage was keeping me up at night trying to figure out ways to beat it, but it's finally over. I can finally rest... And hope that Contingency Contract isn't nearly as hair pullingly hard as this stage was.
Hmm, pretty tight as you need to have both durnar and mousse. Could you use other defender in place of durnar? The defender would have to tank the greytail and the brawlers for a prolonged time. Maybe kroos could be switched with an st caster? Then for those who dont have mousse they can use durnar's skill in place of mousse for the greytail on the right
Aw, saved this one for last and couldn't do it in time. My Vanilla wasn't strong enough, and I didn't have the resources to max level her at the time either. The DP generation is really critical to being able to intercept all the moving parts. Courier didn't seem have the same kind of quick generation when I subbed him in, as I couldn't get the team in the bottom left up, with enough DP to deploy Mousse and a medic to catch the guy who walks down the middle in the center area.
I've done every CM for this event -- except for this one. Can't believe E2ing Saria bit me in the ass. EDIT: GODDAMN. Finally managed it by using Skadi in Melantha's place -- good thing she has such an exorbitant amount of HP even at E1. Still took me a number of tries because Myrrh had trouble keeping her up for some odd reason. At least now, I can finally say that I managed my first "!00%" event completion.
Because of DP cost? If you have Myrtle for a DP battery a lot of these strats work great so long as you implement countermeasure to her cons and place somewhere she can help if necessary with dmg but supported or obscure enough to negate it. If you need a friend with a M3 on her first skill hit me up. (I admit having it M3 might sound egotistic, but i used her same way even before that) This guy's awesome, subbed since usual guy gone for schooling, but one thing he doesn't inform you of is that you can and SHOULD hit up friend support during these because there's no gd reason not to.
I was struggling with this. Then I said "FUCK IT. SILVERASH." First try on practice. Also helps with the DP problem if you don't pre-deploy the second supply station. Probably won't work if he's not M3 tho.
I also dislike the inconsistency. I’m going the exact same things that you are, but my people die/have lower life by the time a new wave comes before i can place the medics
Eckogen i tried, she wasnt able to generate the DP fast enough. Not world ending to not get one challenge done, but the failure purely due to not being able to chunk out dp fast enough was unfortunate. Not a common issue but always a frustrating one.
Pretty much, unless you can find a replacement that's as tanky and at the same time has less HP than Melantha. I tried Hoshiguma because my Cuora is currently E1 level 60 and can't survive, but Hoshi had too much HP and that made the Rat King target her, catching both Nightingale (my Perfumer isn't raised because she was the third AoE medic I got from the gacha) and Steward in the AoE and killing both of them instantly. This event's CM stages have been a true nightmare...
@@Raul_MM uhm. you can just put the Stuward 1 spot over where perfumer is standing and nightingale left of that position facing right would still hit the heal on dur nar and hoshi while beeing outside the aoe. or you just place hoshi 1 spot higher
Just spent all my practice plans trying to make this work with E1 level 60 Cuora, no dice. Guess I'm gonna have to raise both Ethan and Cuora to E2 before the event is over, and Ethan is currently E0... What are your operators' skill levels, by the way? I have a feeling your skill levels are higher than mine, since your Vanilla charges her skill much faster.
@@Eckogen Yup, she dies at about 2:26 into the video, when she gets attacked by the two enemy casters and the bulldozer at the same time, exactly when you return Kroos and deploy Mousse in the video. I should also add that I'm using E2 level 2 S1 level 7 Myrtle to generate DP in order to use a couple of high rarity operators (I deploy her right after Vanilla, to her right, then retreat her right before deploying Dur-nar), and those operators are E1 level 70 S1 level 5 Nightingale (instead of Perfumer, because mine isn't raised) and E1 level 70 S2 level 4 Ptilopsis (instead of Myrrh). I've also been deploying Gavial one tile to the left of where you deploy her, because Ptilopsis can't heal Durin enough by herself and Gavial has to help, and Ptilopsis has enough range to heal Mousse so Gavial doesn't have to heal her. Maybe if I proc Nightingale's skill when the first caster enters the map she'd have a better chance of surviving...?
Turns out having an E2 Cuora isn't enough, you also need a skill level 7 Gummy in order for her to survive while Gavial is taking a break, at around 2:47 into the video... Man, this strategy is extremely resource intensive lol At least after E2ing and leveling up my Cuora she can now survive the enemy caster + bulldozer onslaught, but now I have to farm mats to raise Gummy's skills. Not sure if I'll be able to do that before the event ends, but I won't give up on this.
Okay, problem: If you have Cuora too high level, she takes the Aggro off Melantha, which kills Stewart and Perfumer. Can you like, make a mid-level guide for this that resolves stuff like that, for the rerun?
Can confirm, e1lvl80 Skadi is a thicc girl with way more HP than most of my E2s. Edit: it's better to use melantha, Skadi has way too high deployment cost
@@Eckogen I figured out what was happening. Instead of Melantha, I was using my fully decked out Nearl Alter on S3. The sword she summons has 6k HP, so was taking Rat King's focus, which was killing Durin in the crossfire.
how come gravel seems to be better than both an E2 silence and a E1 65 shinig? they both die, I'm really lost here, I also got a E2 nightingale that also doesn't work in myrrh's place.... durin dies...
my mousse always dies to that first guy she blocks. Same level, same potential. Gummy Lvl7 Heal isnt enough to keep her alive and i dont get enough DP to place Gavial in time. how you did this?? Is this pure RNG? Did everything like you and wasted like 100 sanity on that mission already
is myrrh's heal completely RNG or something? after 10 full tries in practice, every time either durin or melantha dies. I have tried doing other orders like letting gaviel heal durin + gummy instead of gummy+mousse and nada, one or the other still dies before the durnar+cuora phase. Not 100% sure why they don't work exactly how the video shows since they are the same level, same potential, everything.
Are you also using Perfumer? She has a passive HP regen for everyone. As for Melantha, any Guard you have with the highest HP will work. Higher rarity is fine too.
@@Eckogen they usually die before the phase where you set up perfumer, steward, durnar and cuora on the right side while melantha is a little after. the timestamps on when they die is either durin at 1:42 (ratking stops and attacks her while shes in the tornado) or melantha at around 2:07 everyone else is fine though, its only those two that seem to be RNG.
@@Luramo You could swap and use Perfumer or an AOE Medic in Myrrh's spot. Use their skills around that point or have Myrrh on S2 and activate it during then as well.
@@KarolisOfficial Yup, Durin still dies randomly, no matter what medic I put there (all of mine are currently E1). It's basically a lottery, if the RNG is feeling generous then you get past that part, otherwise you gotta take the sanity loss and try again...
I had a great time with this stage even though it took me many tries. I am using Skadi E1 max who has more HP than Melantha. The other fun fact is FOR SOME REASON, Steward will not work in place of Durin, Destroyer of Worlds. It has something to do with the targeting priority, I think. Anyway, on my successful run, Durin died. I kept the Gavial in place whole time to try to keep up with the healing and managed to last the whole 48 sec redeploy time for Durin. To make it easier you can bring support vanguard as the 13th unit which helps get everyone deployed in time.
Wait, gummy have less hp than melantha? and if i dont have melantha can i change it to skadi? one more, if i dont have gummy can i change it to cuora/hoshi?
Melantha has a whole lot of HP (but not a lot of defense). That's her archetype. Skadi should be able to work as long as she has the highest max HP in your squad and you can deploy her fast enough to catch the slugs. Not sure if Cuora/Hoshi can survive long enough where Gummy is placed, since they don't have as good sustain (they aren't healing defenders). Feel free to experiment around while using this video as a base.
You don't need Durnar for this. Place Lappland in Durnar's position and back her up with an SP generator. Liskarm is also fine. Or you can put Hoxy with her S2 in there and watch those brawlers kill themselves, then wait for Mousse to redeploy and kill the greytail
Melantha is targeted (physical damage) for having the highest HP and Durin is targeted (arts damage) for having the lowest HP. Targets will change if introducing operators who meet the HP thresholds.
I've encountered a problem where my Cuora has too high of HP so...

Advice for those using a stronger Cuora; take a guard with higher hp. doesn't have to be one like melantha, it just has to have higher hp than Cuora

challenge mods get a 10% damage and HP boost, that it doesnt tell you about, its why i lose on them as well
Tips for those, whose Defenders already have higher HP than Melantha:
1) Replace Mel with a Crusher (E1 lv 60 Crushers have more HP than E2 lv60 Hoshi, Shu and alike), just don't use their stunning skill, use the other one.
2) Use your Support slot to bring a Charger Vanguard or a fast redeploy for stalling the boss. Since Crushers have 2 blocks, closer to 30/35 your Crusher will block an Elite enemy (Greytail Leader) together with the boss and might crumble (an E2 max Crusher with more healing might cope, but I used E1 lv 60 Wind Chimes xD).
3) Use your free operators and the Support unit to deal with the Greytail then and to stall the boss until you can redeploy your Crusher.
4) Catch the boss with the Crusher when he is moving up in the middle lane, in Gummy's range (I used Shu instead of Gummy, better healing is always welcome), then redeploy your remaining ops around to help kill the boss and for more healing.
One of the hardest stage, tysm for this ^_^
Thank you very much for your guide!
If I don't see yours, I might cannot pass this one :D
Awesome. Worked like a charm.
Thanks so much for the guide! Had to wrack my brain to work out alternatives hahah
Though this CM stage finally got me to put materials into Durnar :')
Since I didn't lvl Mousse though, I took Eyja from support to replace Kroos for the arts dmg and NearlS2 instead of Gummy to heal the initial wave until I could get Eyja out, since I needed Melantha and Durin out before I could place Eyja. Then I just needed a simple defender to take Mousse's spot.
Also, I had WarfarinS1 instead of Myrrh which worked fine.
On earlier tries, my Cuora (E1-60), kept dying when the last 2 casters came out, could be because I placed her too late and couldn't proc her S2 fast enough.
Replaced Steward with MostimaS3
On my clearing run, Cuora still died before the bully and greytail (my bad tho, I should have used Mostima's skill earlier), so I had to place my initial vanguard (Texas) there to hold the greytail while the Bully went for his last lap before I used Eyja's S3 to take him out before he leaked

This was **really hard** to do without a 2-hit healer, Mousse, Durnar and E2 Cuora... the pains of being f2p but having a lot of expensive characters and *not all* of them.

Also Ansel worked instead of Myrrh, yeah, 3 stars is lower than 4.
I had Silence (E2-20) in Gavels place cause 1. I don't have nor want to level Gavel and 2. I tought Ansel might need help before Hoshi took the cross away from Melantha, but he didn't, it worked, maybe the support was overkill, shaw with suply was doing an amazing job pushing enemys, even 12f would work out there, it'd only take longer

You don't have enough DP generators dude. How about switching Myrtle's skill 2 to skill 1 instead?
You have a high costing team. Myrtle on S1 would be much better as you generate DP faster.

I say kinda, because Melantha died at some point, but luckily I had brought a SilverDaddy friend support with me, and he tanked the Rat King like a champ in Melantha's absence. There was also a leak on Cuora's side, a Greytail survived with a sliver of health left when Cuora's skill ran out and proceeded to march super quickly to the tile above her, but thankfully I had Vanilla waiting on the bench to deal the finishing blow. She almost didn't survive long enough to deal said finishing blow, but it worked out, somehow.
This event was truly insane. To give you some backstory, my Arknights career started a month and a week after the game's release. Obviously, I've had a month and a week less than people who started playing when the game launched to raise my operators, and I also didn't get any mats from the Grani event because I joined right after it ended. Now, since I started following your guides, I managed to raise my untouched Dur-Nar to E1 level 60 skill level 7, my Vanilla from skill level 4 to skill level 7, my Gummy from skill level 4 to skill level 7, my untouched Ethan to E2 skill level 4, my E1 level 60 Cuora to E2 level 30, my Mousse from skill level 4 to skill level 7, and my untouched Durin to level 30. Thankfully I'd saved a *ton* of sanity potions for this event, otherwise I wouldn't have managed to do nearly as much, being fully a F2P player.
This stupid stage was keeping me up at night trying to figure out ways to beat it, but it's finally over. I can finally rest... And hope that Contingency Contract isn't nearly as hair pullingly hard as this stage was.
here again~.. .
Hmm, pretty tight as you need to have both durnar and mousse. Could you use other defender in place of durnar? The defender would have to tank the greytail and the brawlers for a prolonged time. Maybe kroos could be switched with an st caster? Then for those who dont have mousse they can use durnar's skill in place of mousse for the greytail on the right
Liskarm is fine to replace Dur Nar.
If you have Eyjafalla E2 you can use Beagle to tank
Aw, saved this one for last and couldn't do it in time. My Vanilla wasn't strong enough, and I didn't have the resources to max level her at the time either.
The DP generation is really critical to being able to intercept all the moving parts. Courier didn't seem have the same kind of quick generation when I subbed him in, as I couldn't get the team in the bottom left up, with enough DP to deploy Mousse and a medic to catch the guy who walks down the middle in the center area.
Siege or Scavenger could have replaced Vanilla or even Myrtle if you have her.
@@Eckogen Would S2 have done it? Or would it have to be S1? I had an S2 in the supports.
@@kerrowe For Myrtle? S1 is ideal, faster DP gain.
@@Eckogen Meant Siege but nice to know that information too.
I've done every CM for this event -- except for this one. Can't believe E2ing Saria bit me in the ass.
EDIT: GODDAMN. Finally managed it by using Skadi in Melantha's place -- good thing she has such an exorbitant amount of HP even at E1. Still took me a number of tries because Myrrh had trouble keeping her up for some odd reason.
At least now, I can finally say that I managed my first "!00%" event completion.
Because of DP cost? If you have Myrtle for a DP battery a lot of these strats work great so long as you implement countermeasure to her cons and place somewhere she can help if necessary with dmg but supported or obscure enough to negate it. If you need a friend with a M3 on her first skill hit me up. (I admit having it M3 might sound egotistic, but i used her same way even before that) This guy's awesome, subbed since usual guy gone for schooling, but one thing he doesn't inform you of is that you can and SHOULD hit up friend support during these because there's no gd reason not to.
This wasn’t working for me so I just blew up the rat king with Surtr + Aak
I was struggling with this.
Then I said "FUCK IT. SILVERASH."
First try on practice.
Also helps with the DP problem if you don't pre-deploy the second supply station.
Probably won't work if he's not M3 tho.
I think my biggest issue with the game so far is that higher rarity characters can be a DETRIMENT to your team
I also dislike the inconsistency. I’m going the exact same things that you are, but my people die/have lower life by the time a new wave comes before i can place the medics
You can use Myrtle for faster DP that way you can get your higher cost team out.
Eckogen i tried, she wasnt able to generate the DP fast enough. Not world ending to not get one challenge done, but the failure purely due to not being able to chunk out dp fast enough was unfortunate. Not a common issue but always a frustrating one.
Cuora is e2 already so she has more hp than melantha. Gotta try with beagle, or take skadi from support unit
Rat King RNG has not been kind to me in these final hours :(
This stage seemed easier than CB-EX6. ^^;;
This is low end so... Don't use something beyond 20 DP!
You can. Just bring DP generators.
Soo.... Technically you can't do this without quora
Yea, and the video shows her at E2L30.
Pretty much, unless you can find a replacement that's as tanky and at the same time has less HP than Melantha. I tried Hoshiguma because my Cuora is currently E1 level 60 and can't survive, but Hoshi had too much HP and that made the Rat King target her, catching both Nightingale (my Perfumer isn't raised because she was the third AoE medic I got from the gacha) and Steward in the AoE and killing both of them instantly. This event's CM stages have been a true nightmare...
@@Raul_MM uhm. you can just put the Stuward 1 spot over where perfumer is standing and nightingale left of that position facing right would still hit the heal on dur nar and hoshi while beeing outside the aoe.
or you just place hoshi 1 spot higher
Just spent all my practice plans trying to make this work with E1 level 60 Cuora, no dice. Guess I'm gonna have to raise both Ethan and Cuora to E2 before the event is over, and Ethan is currently E0... What are your operators' skill levels, by the way? I have a feeling your skill levels are higher than mine, since your Vanilla charges her skill much faster.
Is your Cuora dying?
@@Eckogen Yup, she dies at about 2:26 into the video, when she gets attacked by the two enemy casters and the bulldozer at the same time, exactly when you return Kroos and deploy Mousse in the video.
I should also add that I'm using E2 level 2 S1 level 7 Myrtle to generate DP in order to use a couple of high rarity operators (I deploy her right after Vanilla, to her right, then retreat her right before deploying Dur-nar), and those operators are E1 level 70 S1 level 5 Nightingale (instead of Perfumer, because mine isn't raised) and E1 level 70 S2 level 4 Ptilopsis (instead of Myrrh). I've also been deploying Gavial one tile to the left of where you deploy her, because Ptilopsis can't heal Durin enough by herself and Gavial has to help, and Ptilopsis has enough range to heal Mousse so Gavial doesn't have to heal her. Maybe if I proc Nightingale's skill when the first caster enters the map she'd have a better chance of surviving...?
Turns out having an E2 Cuora isn't enough, you also need a skill level 7 Gummy in order for her to survive while Gavial is taking a break, at around 2:47 into the video... Man, this strategy is extremely resource intensive lol
At least after E2ing and leveling up my Cuora she can now survive the enemy caster + bulldozer onslaught, but now I have to farm mats to raise Gummy's skills. Not sure if I'll be able to do that before the event ends, but I won't give up on this.
Okay, problem: If you have Cuora too high level, she takes the Aggro off Melantha, which kills Stewart and Perfumer. Can you like, make a mid-level guide for this that resolves stuff like that, for the rerun?
If you have better damage then Cuora won't be essential.
Also, the problem is how leveled your operators are as the boss targets based on HP.
melantha needs to have highest hp right? means this should work with skadi too i hope
Yeah, should be fine with Skadi.
Can confirm, e1lvl80 Skadi is a thicc girl with way more HP than most of my E2s.
Edit: it's better to use melantha, Skadi has way too high deployment cost
My Durin spot keep dying at the 23/35 mark. Tried Durin. She die. Tried Click (still lowest HP), she die.
Burst healing to survive.
@@Eckogen I figured out what was happening. Instead of Melantha, I was using my fully decked out Nearl Alter on S3. The sword she summons has 6k HP, so was taking Rat King's focus, which was killing Durin in the crossfire.
@@ReinTenebres Ah yes, that will do it.
1:34 "facing left" why???
Steward got it later on.
how come gravel seems to be better than both an E2 silence and a E1 65 shinig? they both die, I'm really lost here, I also got a E2 nightingale that also doesn't work in myrrh's place.... durin dies...
You need Myrrh or someone who can heal two targets.
my mousse always dies to that first guy she blocks. Same level, same potential. Gummy Lvl7 Heal isnt enough to keep her alive and i dont get enough DP to place Gavial in time. how you did this?? Is this pure RNG? Did everything like you and wasted like 100 sanity on that mission already
guess so I can't do it with a friend's Saria.....
Deployment order and I'm using her first skill which reduces enemy attack. When I deploy Myrrh, it heals Mousse.
@@Eckogen Oh, that was my problem. I had 2nd Skill on Mousse. Ooops my bad. Finally did it! Thank you for your great Guides
I have a question, where's the 2nd power station is facing? Was it face left? And why?
It was used for Steward.
@@Eckogen Oh I see, thank you so much
is myrrh's heal completely RNG or something? after 10 full tries in practice, every time either durin or melantha dies. I have tried doing other orders like letting gaviel heal durin + gummy instead of gummy+mousse and nada, one or the other still dies before the durnar+cuora phase. Not 100% sure why they don't work exactly how the video shows since they are the same level, same potential, everything.
Are you also using Perfumer? She has a passive HP regen for everyone. As for Melantha, any Guard you have with the highest HP will work. Higher rarity is fine too.
@@Eckogen they usually die before the phase where you set up perfumer, steward, durnar and cuora on the right side while melantha is a little after.
the timestamps on when they die is either durin at 1:42 (ratking stops and attacks her while shes in the tornado) or melantha at around 2:07 everyone else is fine though, its only those two that seem to be RNG.
@Marifin - I do have a guide without powersupply.
@@Luramo You could swap and use Perfumer or an AOE Medic in Myrrh's spot. Use their skills around that point or have Myrrh on S2 and activate it during then as well.
thanks
wow, i've been stun for 2 days
why durin still dies? is it chance of 50% proc? using lv50 myrrh
also, why 2nd supply station towads left?
If you actually watch the whole video - at the end Eckogen places Steward there to help assist in DPS against Rat King.
The second Supply Station was a future use for Steward.
Yeah, my Durin dies every other try, Myrrh's ability is very unreliable. I wonder if using an AoE medic instead of her would help...
I tried AoE medics and you need really high heal for AoE heals to work there
@@KarolisOfficial Yup, Durin still dies randomly, no matter what medic I put there (all of mine are currently E1). It's basically a lottery, if the RNG is feeling generous then you get past that part, otherwise you gotta take the sanity loss and try again...
Fuck my life, 26 tries, oh my fucking shit! I did it. Thanks man
Is there any good replacement for mousse?
Lisk, Lappland, Astesia, SA.
why is the second supply station facing left? no one is placed there?
Steward got it.
@@Eckogen The supply station in 1:34 How did steward got it if no one was placed in front of the 2nd supply station?
@@DStein22 At 3:48 steward gets it. He just places the station super early.
@@cyndra427 at that point everything's already under control. This station can be used with way more value
This is way to RNG dependant because of Durin tbh, thanks anyway
You can bring any Caster or Support with the lowest HP compared to the rest of your squad.
@@Eckogen I will try again with Angelina and take a support Mirtle, thankyou for your response, it came across as salt haha
My High End Can't Take it (Short DP..) .... F**K THIS CODE OF UNWINNABLE BRAWL SHIT!
us
which operator did you replace mousse with?
Had the same problem, so I used both supply stations for Myrtle. Just for her
Do you have Myrtle/Elyisum?
@@Eckogen i have but.... (fears if the enemy slugs pass through....)
Why is this map harder than ex8 challenge.. I can't do it lol
The health mechanics makes it difficult.
Playing well, hahaha.
why my gummy is being killed faster?
Might be a trust thing. You can use any healing Defender in place of her.
Fun fact: if you're using an E2 Defender, you're fucked. Melantha doesn't even have more HP than Surtr
I had a great time with this stage even though it took me many tries. I am using Skadi E1 max who has more HP than Melantha.
The other fun fact is FOR SOME REASON, Steward will not work in place of Durin, Destroyer of Worlds. It has something to do with the targeting priority, I think.
Anyway, on my successful run, Durin died. I kept the Gavial in place whole time to try to keep up with the healing and managed to last the whole 48 sec redeploy time for Durin.
To make it easier you can bring support vanguard as the 13th unit which helps get everyone deployed in time.
Durin vs Rat King : Oh Shit.. i don't actually care
fkin durin RNG.
RNG is not on my side . . .
Wait, gummy have less hp than melantha? and if i dont have melantha can i change it to skadi? one more, if i dont have gummy can i change it to cuora/hoshi?
Melantha has a whole lot of HP (but not a lot of defense). That's her archetype. Skadi should be able to work as long as she has the highest max HP in your squad and you can deploy her fast enough to catch the slugs. Not sure if Cuora/Hoshi can survive long enough where Gummy is placed, since they don't have as good sustain (they aren't healing defenders). Feel free to experiment around while using this video as a base.
You don't need Durnar for this. Place Lappland in Durnar's position and back her up with an SP generator. Liskarm is also fine.
Or you can put Hoxy with her S2 in there and watch those brawlers kill themselves, then wait for Mousse to redeploy and kill the greytail
This is a low star guide you know
@@KhanhTran-hr2de Not everyone builds Durnar you know
How to deal with the stun?
@@anhnguyenhoang210 not everyone has lappland you know
Everybody have their own choice to choose their operators.
Darude
Durin keeps dying, not really a great strategy so far.
You can use anyone with low health + Arts resistance. Depends on your team layout.
