Millard put in MAD work for me this fight. Magic Def up buffs in the first part and heals + boosted staff in the second.

[@Seariuz]

Awesome video bro! Very detailed and to the point.

[@ecruz010]

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[@benstark1]

Got my day 1 clear. Thanks for providing great content, keep up the good work.

[@andymci3246]

awesome cheers! varkyn was a tough tough tough one. 3rd tourney wth kurtz as team lead ( is now lucky mascot) but needed viola as well for double debuff mania

[@tedt2872]

Thank you for your guides and livestreams as always! I prefer to take down the dancer add first, but maybe because I usually run two dancers (Primrose, Hasumi), and flex in a third depending on the fight (Lynette). Anytime I see an opposing dancer I am thinking they will buff and debuff for days, heh.

[@MaybeOfful]

this one ruff

[@steveodude]

Helps that SE put in farmable chubby cat sized nuts. 🎉 I think I’ve farmed enough to be ready for the fight.

[@Forgon2]

I used this guide to help me down him!! Though, I kind of cheesed it by having A2 and 2B deal monstrous damage when broken that I completely ignored the wisp part.

[@ronnymahendra9035]

Surprisingly enough i won in the 2nd try, i'm happy with pulling Agnes for emergency raises (tho my Kouren keeps 1 shotted by Lumi III lmao)

[@mana-vw1fp]

they told me that tikilen wasn’t that hard. i don’t think my gilderoy agrees. (he’s on life support and barely holding my team together by a thread)

[@tuskeralex]

Any recommendation for someone who doesn't have Sofia, Cardona or Lionel? Only got Fiore lol

[@ApathicCheese]

Thanks a lot !
Do you happen to know when Special Attacks will be released?

[@ShizukatzCotC]

Special Attacks were released in JP for the 1st Anniversary. With EN be accelerated a bit, I would expect them to arrive around the 9th month of the game being out, which is around the end of April 2023. This is just a guess, of course!

[@wilson9255]

Which one is better, sigrid A3 or edea a0 for varkyn?

[@goenawanarief4027]

I do have fiore on 4,5. so I am actually thinking of whether I should use trish with A3 and level 60 and sigrid A1 level 72, or fiore and sigrid. all in all kurtz will changed to viola, theo to agnes, and noelle, I don't know who should I changed her to, maybe I will change her to cless since cless also has ice element. I don't know though. will try later. thanks for the video.

[@ShizukatzCotC]

Cless is Lightning, not Ice. You could still bring Noelle since her Debuff is pretty valuable!

[@goenawanarief4027]

@@ShizukatzCotC AH sorry, I thought cless will be ice since you know his picture is on the snowstorm.....yeah I guess I will use noelle. will try later

[@16SF]

I beat Varkyn, gave him Deez Nuts and went back just to smack Tikilen with him and Glossom 😂

[@hydyr123]

1- Why sigrid and not trish?
2- I dont have fiore, what are my options?
3- Would be good to replace Helga with Agnes?
4- Is Theo better than Millard in this fight?

[@yunxiliu4252]

I think two sword DPS (with 3x hits) with Sofia is enough for the second half of the fight. Basically the first half of the fight with adds I kill the adds mainly with Sofia, Cardona (spear 3x), Scarecrow (bow 4x), and one of the warrior. The second half, I switch Scarecrow, Cardona, Theo to the back row most of the time, and let Millard heal instead. Team setup is Sofia/Viola, Fiona/Cardona, Edea/Theo, Scarecrow/Millard, and the fight is quiet easy for me, the easiest among all three arena available right now.

[@532233308]

Is the game down right now? The game keeps crashing upon opening

[@losersbecomewinners2043]

I beat all the fights up to Varkyn on stream. However, him, Glossom and Tikilen can survive for another while. Not fighting them anytime soon, until i can see that my damage will actually move their HP bar

[@vidlampung7188]

For God sake im dying against him.. no LYNETTE no ice tier user 😭😭😭

[@realXerocry]

Where to find ebony dragon scarf???

[@ShizukatzCotC]

From the Shadow Dragon fight!
For more info, check out my guide on the Shadow Dragon (Dragon's Lair) :)

[@alks1965]

you have to defeat the black dragon in the tower of remembrance, to unlock the dragon you have to kill the mega boss of each bonfire of battle

[@SwordSaint83]
