![Arknights EP - [Requiem]](/img/n.gif)
Operator Replacement Suggestions (ORS):
Thermal: Optional.
Kroos: Any ST Sniper.
Click/Haze: Any ST Caster.
Gavial/Sussurro: Any ST Medic.
Cardigan: Any Defender (high HP).
Myrtle: S1 L7. Elysium. E2 not required.
Melantha: Any Guard or Skadi/Surtr/Utage.
Arene/Midnight: Any Ranged Guard (Arts preferred).
Gummy: Any Healing Defender. Be careful on levels as too much damage from your Defender messes up Dominion.
When substituting operators take into consideration their damage. Bring the highest HP Defender in place of Cardigan. Bring the highest DPS/burst you can in place for Melantha.
Major thanks for putting this up, Eckogen. As usual, preparation and careful planning are keys to victory here.... :)
Even then, this IS a difficult fight, so....
Can I replace Gummy with Mudrock or should it be a healed able defender?
Love that there is no operator replacement for Kroos. XD
@@hiendinh9969 Kroos too stronk.
@@Eckogen I mean, you right.
I love how gummy is just standing in front of this dude and just beating him with a frying pan lol
Every other operators: *Have wands, guns, and sword*
Gummy: Anyways I started bonking
Defeating an Ursus guard the Ursus way. Food, A Frying Pan... And VODKA.
@@froilandragon5693 exactly lol we have our elite solider rhodes island we have a gummy
You'd think he would be knocked out/brain damage/equipment damaged after so many frying pan hits and stuns
I can imagine gummy on a minecraft fight scene just munching on food to restore health
imagine the boss like "hmm, everything looks fine here, just a bear"
then he turns back and be like
"what the fuck report team pls"
noob team, report
meanwhile Kal'tsit: gg no re
*Me, listening while playing, not paying much attention*
Eckogen: "Lower the flag for amogus..."
Me, pausing in shock: "excuse me wot?..."
SUSsurro
Eckogen: One caster for each side.
Thorns with S3M3: That won't be necessary...
SilverAsh with S3M3: Same here.
how to counter an emperor’s blade from ursus? bring an ursus operator who also cooks food
use the ursus to destroy the ursus.
I cant get throught this shit just beacause of those drill dudes
Meanwhile me,
Gummy: fine, Emperor blade. Go take your walk now.
Emperor blade: kalstit I swear, don't you dare cheat your way out of this.
*Kalstit currently instructing Robin to place her mines and Ambriel to take aim*
Kalstit:... Don't mind me.
5:40
Okay just to clarify, when Pursuer is in Dominion, he does not gain DEF or RES as Ecko told, but instead halves the physical and Arts damage taken.
Good Guide tho, I was struggling to clear this with low rarity ops to challenge myself
Thank you for the guide! After many failed attempts, I looked away for a second while trying to figure out what to do since I couldn't deploy all my operators for the killing blow, thinking I was going to fail again. In that moment, Skadi absolutely shredded the boss.
For those of you looking for a reliable auto this *mostly* works. The main thing you wanna watch out for is the third Kroos Deployment. If it's too late your Cardigan will most likely be too late too. For more auto security put Haze to the spot right of Sussurro after all the dominion has been cast. She won't hit him if everything goes right, but she makes a good safety net if things go wrong.
This is the only guide I managed to use since I lack Cardigan and my best healing defender is Gummy lmao, beat all the other stages except this one and every damn time I kill everyone else but the boss just kept one shotting everyone. Thanks a lot
Nice. Another big brain guide from Eckogen!
But i just want to clarify a little mistake you said in the video. The trim is obtainable if you do not get hit by collapsing fear more than 2 times WHILE in the dominion zone.
So it's fine if you do get hit by collapsing fear alot; so long as it's not in dominion (not that you'd want to get hit by it ;;)
Even the Ursus Royal Guard fears the true power that is Kroos...
Cheers Ecko. ^_^
Thank you! I've been stuck on this stage for the past few days. Your strat is the only one that has worked for me.
DO NOT USE SARIA AS THE ALTERNATIVE HEALING DEFENDER. She'll trigger Dominion too early for this strategy to work. Use Neral instead.
Also for those using Ash as their sniper, the boss cannot be stunned so use S1 or S3.
Might be okay if Saria is E1.
"STAY CLEAR FROM THE BLAST"
Who is Neral?
Is it Nearl?
It's a good thing I don't care about medals, because I botched this bigtime! Still cleared the mission though :)
Thanks again Ecko for another set of brilliant guides, and sorry for being such a poor student...
Yeah I am having hard time getting that 3 star clear...noob player and have to try with my characters that just don't work like he is doing =)
I was struggling with kyo's low star and high star strats, but I managed to pull it off with your guide's help. Thanks Ecko! Now I can do the ex stages while the re-run is still going.
Thank you sooo much Eckogen! I stuck at this stage Soo many time until I watch your big brain move video.
i tried this one after failing with kyos stat few times. this one seems easier to follow and it's more forgiving (love u both u two always save my life lol) i failed 3 times before switching my saria to gummy. saria deals too much dmg it messes up the whole thing lmao anyway tysm for the guide!
My very first trimmed medal~ Thanks for this :D
i messed up doing this and thought it was over for the trimmed medal.. boy was i wrong :D
still got the trimmed medal, thank you ecko!!
Thank you so much for your guide! Really helps me to try base a team around the ops you use. Darn boss took some time for me to figure out how to take down lol
Team comp: Elysium E2, SilverAsh E1, Ayerscape E2, Click E1, April E1 (good camouflage for the caster), Melantha, Nightmare E1, Nearl E1 (to stall), Shining E1, Gavial E1, Cardigan and.... Had to use Surtr at the end in a pinch to finish the boss off. Phew 😅
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GUIDE
The way you said “lower your flag for among us” was the funniest thing
this strategy works really well, thanks ecko
The second set of enemies kept killing my operators before they could kill them, so I upgraded to using Lappland and SilverAsh as the the ranged guards and everything else in the strategy worked perfectly for me (and is easily PRTS-friendly for farming RMA-12. Thanks Eckogen!
0:36 don't you ever stop, Myrtle
thank you for guide, eckogen
thank you so much, your vid helped me a lot
Thanks for the strategy, I finally did it and get the medal. Cheers.
Your video helped as always : D
My problem is the second phase. I can't seem to put him under 10% without my team getting wiped out.
this quite effective ngl bro, loving it
If you have her Siege works as a replacement for Arene/Midnight with S2, with a side effect of generating some extra DP if you have a higher rarity team
God getting the trimmed medal for this was a pain in the ass. It was easy without worrying about the medal.
Managed to pull through anyway. Thanks as always, Ecko!
Eckogen: Now distract with Gummy
Me: Eh ill just drop Surtr on him
Me: .. I've made a terrible mistake.
Thank you for this. when I first started playing Arknights, it was right before this event came out so I wasn't able to take down the boss. My team was too low level. Best I could get was two-stars
THIS REALLY HELPED!! ive cleared the stage like 4 times--why? because i messed up my auto deploy by thanos snapping my operators too fast during the first phase xDD but im pretty sure it works well now, thanks a lot dude!
Gummy vs Emperor Blade
The battle of fates
I accidentaly did the trimmed with my auto deploy after clearing, after like 4 runs it gave me the trimmed, my margin of collapsin fear was so slim lol. I used my own strategy tho, still wanna see your video.
Gummy: The Unsung Hero.
So the main strat is stall him with a healing defender WHICH I Didn't invest.
Welp, time to grind some mats and lmds then..
I gotta remember that if I'm subbing with this guide to get my ops to E1-max so they actually can do their job.
Blade of the Emperor: Ah, the enemies have retreated and I have a clear path to the objective. Now, to do my tradition victory lap!
awesome! ty
I like how we put the sunflower operator on the bottom right dood
wow cool vid!!!!!
Nice play. I used Surtr and Silver Ash and was a little bit harder
Never thought Gummy could tank the first phase of this guy solo, that's such a clean way of dealing with the rest of the enemy units
thanks dudee
Gonna be honest, I messed up, lost count, but somehow got trim.... thanks!
works quite well although it is a bit tight for high cost operators, good video and thanks for doing it
thank u!!
gummy bear is the BEST
DUUUDEE THIS STAGE IS HELL
Wow this is the most easiest strategy ever, nice job eckogen
A note regarding the trimmed medal: Only operators that are killed by Collapsing Fear _while in a Dominion zone_ will count towards it. For example, refer to 3:42 in the video. Ecko retreats everyone, stating to not let anyone get killed. However, in that situation only Kroos needs to be retreated, as she's the only one in a Dominion zone.
Keeping midnight there would only delay the boss for a second or so. Retreating him just makes it so he's up sooner
@@eeroke12 Yes, that's obviously why Ecko retreated everyone. However, what Ecko _stated_ was incorrect, so I'm posting a clarification.
I failed like 3 times because my cardigan dies in like 3 hits from 2 phase but when I use bubble I complete the level thx for the guide
Damn I never thought about stalling the boss.. I just instantly used bagpipe , eyja and silverash to yolo brute force the boss, I don't know how I even got the trimmed medal.
There seems to be a bug with this stage where in phase 1 boss casts the fog skill thing on the operator blocking it (rather than on the operator dealing most damage to it) if attacked ‘from behind’.
What I mean by ‘behind’ is that I had Nearl blocking instead of Gummy and had Silverash 3 tiles to the left of boss slashing away, and 3 times out of 3 boss casted the fog on Nearl and ruined all my attempts to clear this stage faster.
It's not a bug, the Boss CANNOT cast [Dominion] on someone 3 tiles away, thus casting it on the Operator who dealt the 2nd most dmg to him(in your case, its Nearl)
@@kylenunez2820 the boss most definitely can cast dominion on operators that are far away from him.
So it may be a bug that dominion got cast on op's nearl or the boss casts it on whomever is blocking him at the time of the cast.
The only thing that can bring down Ursus, is Ursus.
very tight, but I made it. he killed both tanks at the very end, the others were just able to finish him off before he crossed the end line.
I was very short on deployment points in that last nuke, though all my characters were maxed out (cheapest DP). then again, this is a year later, so maybe some deployment points changed over the year?
Attemp #14 failed again. Gummy hold the line like a champ but arene died faster than expected. Managed to kill of the army but the main baddy wiped the floor with us.
Not liking these final missions for events that I can't pull off even with guides. Managed to eke out a victory after several heavy modifications, thanks.
how about instead of thrm-ex can i bring surtr for the last phase? it seems safer
Sure, why not.
Bruh I had this all worked out. I would stall till everyone else was dead, then trigger his 2nd phase, and then place everyone on one lane and use Eunectes to stun the shit out of him while everyone would lay the hurt on him. Except apparently, Eunectes can't stun him. And now I'm here, looking up guides.
Finally I can beat it, but it seems I can't farm this map due to a lot of minor actions
I have a trust farm for this stage. You can refer to that.
All this work..just to get the desk to complete the E.R. room too
U would’nt anything about these event crystals that were added? I’ve looked around bit can’t find any information on them
Gummy is the MVP of this stage, without her, i couldn't had stalled the boss indefinitely lol
I would have thought heavyrain was good here with her skills
I'm gonna sub in Surtr for Melantha.
finally after dead week
Gummy MVP
I am humbled.
I have put too much time in this game and all my boss killing strategy was basically:
“drop the radiant knight gg”.
thank you for opening my eyes
also I have Saileach, is she an appropriate substitue for Myrtle?
Saileach is a perfect substitution for Myrtle.
Accidentally trimmed my medal while tweaking my squad here 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Exu S3M3 goes BRRRRRT
When your tank can do damage to the boss oh boy
Learned that the hard way using Saria to tank him lol
if your like me and only use female units this strat is probally impossible the only female lord with arts damage is lapland but she has low defense and because she hits 2 targets you could run into a situation where both the heavies enter low hp mode
Myrtle/elysium L7...how about the other operator? Are they need to L7 or L4 is good enough? (Ty for the strategy btw)
L7 for all.
Not sure how my hung gets slagged at E2 L37 with higher level ST healers but gummy survives at a much lower level with much lower level ST healers
... I just witnessed my maxed out S3M3 Exusiai .. FAIL to outdamage my maxed out Gummy-Bear. XD I am so not even mad. I either need to set my lady Applepie to S2 or give her a slightly longer window.
Still can't get it, how da faq he cast his skills. I tried your strategy and everything gone wrong but I still got the medal in this chaos (DUNNO HOW)
Why does your boss's hp bar remain orange at 20/31 and later on, and for my boss it becomes red? I am using E1 lv40 Bassline instead of Gummy, I checked his stats - they are slightly lower than E1 lv60 Gummy's...
Most likely emulator colour variances.
@@Eckogen oh. It worked fine for me btw! A little nerve-wrecking, but 3 stars, thank you very much!
Ugh, I don't have Myrtle so I just can't seem to generate enough DP to clear the stage
You can swap out the Ranged Guards as Vanguards if you have enough Caster DPS.
I have been trying for hours and I'm not near making it. I'm just using slight variatons from this strategy since I don't have all operators leveled, but the thing I cannot beat are those Imperial Strikers, whenever they go into rage mode they instakill all of my operators, which are similar lvl from Eckogen's (Max Elite 1 lvl). I've even tried to change the Guards for Defenders and they still got insta-killed, don't know what more to do.... and I haven't yet tried out the Boss fight OMG.
Make sure you have Arts Ranged Guards otherwise it won't do enough damage in time.
@@Eckogen wow, thanks for answering my lord. Yes, analizing it a bit more I noticed this enemies are already dead for the time they charge in your demonstation, it's just a fact that I'm lacking in damage. I always think that it may not seem like that but u really put a lot of thought in your videos, keep the good job sensei!
How frustrating. Even with the units shown, at max level E1, both lanes get taken down. I just can't hold them.
You can use higher rarity in place.
@@Eckogen Thanks for replying. I hate to say, this is the one time I ended up not using your guide to win a difficult match in months! I guess the strategy just didn't work with my particular comp. This one worked because I had an M1 SilverAsh, and can you blame me for using him? Ha ha.
ua-cam.com/video/pAzm1hNJ2jQ/v-deo.html
I don't have Click, which operator replacement for him??
Any ST Caster.
I keep losing my guards for some reason :/ I’m using Lapland and Midnight, both e150
Make sure you have enough DPS on the Casters to kill the Sniper dudes before they get on your Ranged Guards.
this is too much work. but good work on all the others they were a good help up to this point lool
Was the Pursuer buffed in the rerun? Whatever I do, in second phase he One-Shots Cuora and Gummy despite the healers being there, I barely have time to deploy Exusiai and he's already taken them down.
He seems to have way higher damage than here. My medics are Gavial (E2LV20) and Silence (E1LV70).
I'm trying to let Cuora and Gummy survive long enough for me to place Exusiai, Amiya and Thorns, then finish him off with Surtr, I don't care about the medal, only the furniture so if he nukes some with Collapsing Fear, it doesn't bother me.
It's the stupidly fast sword attacks and their stupidly high damage that are the problem for me.
Edit: Forgot to say. Cuora is E2 LV0 and Gummy E1LV60, like here, using skill 1.
S1 Gavial? I'd suggest having Cuora's skill and Silence skill when her shield is down.
@@Eckogen Thanks, I eventually succeeded by stalling him earlier and using Thorns.
Only ended up using half of this strategy until second phase, stalled him earlier, then used the positioning of Exusiai to draw the Dominion, stalled him with all tanks, Red and Gravel while Thorns killed him.
It only cost me most of my ressources to E2 four operators, but eh. I somehow ended up getting the medal in the process.
WTF for real ....
Nearl, Mudrock, noone ... Imagine these guys under two medics support including Shinings Black fiends protection and still One_Hit_Bye no matter inside or ouside that cursed field ...... and cardigan survives 0_0
I guess my game is bugged xd
I still don't understand how his debuff works besides it slows down Attack Speed
It's basically -Atk Speed and an Instakill Penalty if you were hit by {Collapsing Fear} inside [Dominion]. In Phase 1 it triggers once when the boss reaches 50% health; in Phase 2 it triggers are 75%, 50% and 25% which is quite enough to fill half the Map with [Dominion]
It sounds more complicated than it is.
Forget about its names, its two skills:
First one its an aoe area he covers each time he hits HP thresholds, thats the black mist thingy, its slows ATK speed, it wont go away thats why you wanna bait the first one far from where you need your operators. He only uses it once on first phase but three times on second phase.
The second skill is an aoe dmg around him, it will one shot your operators if they get hit by it and are inside the area of the previous skill, hence why you want to control where he uses the mist thingy.
Thats it.
@@bluewolf7111 so , the mission to get the trimmed medal is avoid getting hit by "Collapsing Fear" ( the burst aoe one , not the black cloud ) not more than 2 times ?
@@abiyyusetyam4190 for the medal yes, thats the skill you cant get hit with.
But to be specific you cannot get hit by it more than two times while the operator is under the black mist (AKA basically when it one shots your op) for the medal.
Which isnt too complicated.
@@bluewolf7111 oh okay , thank you for the ingfo 🙏
I can't kill the arrow guys
If you're talking about the 4 who stand still for a while then bring stronger casters.
wha. how in the actual hell am I supposed to do this? I have been getting my ass kicked.
I'm kinda already regretting picking this game back up cause I just am not doing things right apparently.
I hit a wall that is Episode 5 and dropped the game cause I just couldn't get anywhere ugh
You can join Discord and show us the team composition you have. We can advise.
Is this strat possible without having any standard bearer?
Yes, you start with VGs where my Ranged Guards are and use better Casters.
what do the medals do for you?
For personal satisfaction.
Can we use silent op ? Like jaye or other
I'm pretty sure boss is immune to silence.
@@Eckogen ah man
Not working with Saria :(
You need a Defender with low ATK.
This boss is hard, but firewatch and jaye carried my ass
Will it work if I replace gummy with Mudrock?
I don't think she'll work.
@@Eckogen that's okay I already did it with nearl and it works
Thank you for the guide too!
Mudrock would do too much damage, catching the first dominion cast
