I don't think I can take this boss so seriously when it takes him an entire stage 1 to remember that he also has a sword that allows him to 2 hit a lot of melee operators. Great clear mate.
@@exgenesis4457 I've already come to terms with the usual pattern of easy normals being accompanied by malding EX stages. It's within expectations not to like it cuz of how stupid easy this whole event has been so far.
@@Revoltine do you get that confident because of your OP 6* operators or your just bluffing. i can tell that your bluffing because how you unrealisticly said "Easy" the boss is.
@@exgenesis4457 Have you ever thought that maybe I used an E2 Jaye to deal with this boss? It was a no-brainer after seeing how low its DEF is. The other enemies appearing aren't even threatening. Don't straight up assume people can't read enemy descriptions or just use 6* cuz I sure as hell only use them for optimization and not for mapping out wave patterns.
@@Revoltine i only rely on arts damage, my only physical damage is Schwarz and Mountain S3. so pretty much i dont have enough DPS for Mountain and dont have a placement for Schwarz. tho i used Schwarz in the end.
Thank you so so so so so much! I tried multiple people's idea to beat WD8 but to no avail. But your method works for me and you've help me clear several events' last stage too!!! I'm also raising my precious 3 stars too to max due to ur inspiration! Tqvm!
Got two stars on this one - with some minor additions - because I don't think my operators have a high enough trust to be quite as effective, but still, I can honestly say... fuck this bullshit, I'm out, I'm glad enough with two stars, no more. Mercy is all I ask.
After dozens and dozens and dozens of fails, I've successfully completed this stage lol. The last part was defiantly the hardest. Had to time it right so Cardigan wouldn't get KO'ed.
this is fckn insane I had the same crew, with additional agents helping me, and i still can't repeat that last part with mages-warriors is insane i don't know how you manage to time and kill mages specifically without "enraging" two last guards - but in my case, one goes berserk always before the mage dies, and then they 10 out of 10 times just drop my defender either you were SUPER lucky on this run and timings of healing and triggering and killing order just all coincided together, or devs buffed these enemies slightly over the year and now this exact tactics doesn't work anymore i just can't
remember this strat wont work if you dont have SL7 and high trust. cuz your 3 stars will be weak to the point they will die vs that big chungus with claw, not even the boss.
okay ive seen some weird videos where this one guy beat this stage in just one minute and a half, this guy who clutched the Emperors blade with W's S3 etc. and now this!?
The Dominion (the black haze) prioritize other operators that still outside of it. So after the first dominion on Midnight, the boss will target someone else.
@@excusesopowerfull3284 This is just my observation, and that may come out wrong. CMIIW. The haze is casted on operator's location that attack the boss. In my clear, the haze is also casted on any other operator that close to him, even if the operator doesn't attack him (yet). That's how I use that priority to bait the haze, and save my last DPS. So, I think the priority scale is: outside of the haze AND dealing damage to him, outside the haze AND closest to him. (Edit: or might be outside AND the last on deployment, I'm not sure. And there might be a limit on the cast range.) On phase 2, the haze is casted 3 times, every time the boss loss 25% HP (I think). So in ilamiya's case: The first one is casted on Midnight. The second one is casted on Steward when deployed at the bottom right. The last one is casted on Steward when he is at the upper right. Why Cardigan never targeted from the haze? Because she dealt little damage, and because there's only Midnight as DPS, the 2nd and the 3rd haze come late (or rather cannot be casted yet, because the boss hasn't lessened to 50% and 25% HP), and only casted when there's Steward deployed. (That's why one constant DPS like in ilamiya's strat, give him time to redeploy Steward, and positioned the haze to not touch Cardigan, and the medics. This will be difficult to recreate if you use burst DPS like Surtr, SilverAsh, Skadi, Utage or Exu) And if you talk about the sure-kill arts attack, the special attack range isn't that far, that's why even if Midnight is on the haze, he never targeted by the attack. And Cardigan is never inside the haze (only a tile away), so she's also safe.
In this video, the haze priority system only exhibits rule #1: drop haze on Op who dealt the most dmg on boss. Then if Op already in haze, find 2nd highest dmg dealer during that 25%HP period. I've also had none else dealing dmg but the Defender, after the ranged guard has already been shrouded, and the boss dropped it on himself instead of the defender, so I'm not too sure about that part.
I don't think I can take this boss so seriously when it takes him an entire stage 1 to remember that he also has a sword that allows him to 2 hit a lot of melee operators.
Great clear mate.
Don't forget about insta kill on anything that on the black tiles.
Cardigan deserves that next promotion she's been dreaming for. For almost 2 years now
She will when she join alter squad
@@dead_115 yo alter squad lezzgo
petition to make cardigan a 4* so she can be E2
She will, just like kroos and her "ara ara" vibe operator from dusk event
We need alter cardigan
Legend says 3 stars players are masters of stalling.
Song freaking slaps also. Epic and sinister.
Stalling the boss as the ezpz strat has got to be the most entertaining thing about this event. Can't wait for EX!
oh no you wont like EX at aaall

Doing this mission without ranged Guard was... something special. Woe is me for still not leveling Midnight. Thanks for the 'general' idea.
lmao the person who want to auto deploy this will take like 40min per run
p.s. gg for doing this with only 3 stars

ah so that's what cardigan's goggles are for!!
Still waiting for that special promotion for 3 star units in arknight
Yes. stall is the best strat.
Now I remember why Arknights is amazing after watching like 5 different playthroughs with different strategies of varying rarities
thanks this strategy worked out better for me than some others
진짜 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
상상을 초월한 플레이. 매우 대단.
We need a few more 3* to add in the game just for a little bit of variety.
Let's say they are adding 2 new ones. What do you think they should be?
An AOE Medic and no one else
I'd want to see a specialist, like Gaviel. It would be hilarious. Nothing special but to be used as a decoy XD
Man's typin a damn essay from 8:00 onwards
Cardigan went to the field and work over time for this video
Go Cardigan and Midnight..!
Awesome clear, I was like how the heck will you beat those stabby half health beserker dudes but spot helped out
Iam respect you Bro, this is Hell for me but you still can make its with low Rarity 😌👍
Bro you are incredible
Cardigan your way to victory!
The timing is always tight with your tactics! 😅
everyone is pink and purple and then there's spot
Starring contest between local doggo and almighty emperor blade
Got two stars on this one - with some minor additions - because I don't think my operators have a high enough trust to be quite as effective, but still, I can honestly say... fuck this bullshit, I'm out, I'm glad enough with two stars, no more. Mercy is all I ask.
I tried this, but I'm too lazy to complete the run. LOL. very good indeed.
my midnight always die before i retriet melantha ;-;
After dozens and dozens and dozens of fails, I've successfully completed this stage lol. The last part was defiantly the hardest. Had to time it right so Cardigan wouldn't get KO'ed.
this is fckn insane
I had the same crew, with additional agents helping me, and i still can't repeat
that last part with mages-warriors is insane
i don't know how you manage to time and kill mages specifically without "enraging" two last guards - but in my case, one goes berserk always before the mage dies, and then they 10 out of 10 times just drop my defender
either you were SUPER lucky on this run and timings of healing and triggering and killing order just all coincided together, or devs buffed these enemies slightly over the year and now this exact tactics doesn't work anymore
i just can't
I heard that the ex stage for this boss is really hard. Good luck :)
Best guide!
really great but very hard tightrope
Cardigan be like: Fight me b*tch!
Kami-sama, can I lick your shoes ?
Bạn thì hay rồi[You're cool]
I need to try this
i don't know if Cardigan can dodge enemy attack at 7:37
Spot's talent grants 25% physical dodge for 3 seconds when using his skill
i freaking give this bullcrap up, omg i never ever seen a stage this boring to pass, i don't care anymore, i won't touch this stage EVER AGAIN
and me who strugle dealing with that boss , after seeing this video all i can say is lmao im so noobs
remember this strat wont work if you dont have SL7 and high trust. cuz your 3 stars will be weak to the point they will die vs that big chungus with claw, not even the boss.
Thanks
not work for me - melantha and midnight die every time in 2:30 moment or near(
Then u put extra healers on both sides. In the video only 8 operators are used, you have 4 more slots.
okay ive seen some weird videos where this one guy beat this stage in just one minute and a half, this guy who clutched the Emperors blade with W's S3 etc.
and now this!?
Bweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh
Holy shit
I'm back here because this boss is annoying lol. Cardigan needs her promotion!
Also, which is harder, this boss or Nearl Light blood blade boss?
This boss is more difficult but Blood Knight is a bigger stat check
Who can I replace Cardigan with?
E2 Cuora
wow
is there a way to get Cardigan for no gacha account? sad
No
Why does your Midnight look different from mine...
You can buy his skin from the store :D
How about skill level?
All SL7
Why Midnight only targeted once?
The Dominion (the black haze) prioritize other operators that still outside of it. So after the first dominion on Midnight, the boss will target someone else.
How about Cardigan, why wasn't she targeted?
@@excusesopowerfull3284 This is just my observation, and that may come out wrong. CMIIW.

On phase 2, the haze is casted 3 times, every time the boss loss 25% HP (I think). So in ilamiya's case:
The first one is casted on Midnight.
The second one is casted on Steward when deployed at the bottom right.
The last one is casted on Steward when he is at the upper right.
Why Cardigan never targeted from the haze? Because she dealt little damage, and because there's only Midnight as DPS, the 2nd and the 3rd haze come late (or rather cannot be casted yet, because the boss hasn't lessened to 50% and 25% HP), and only casted when there's Steward deployed.

why do you constantly keep pausing and selecting on your Operators?
In order to slow things down for myself
@@ILoveAmiya very interesting
at 5:35 why you retreat mel?
He probably retreated Melantha early and redeploy her to dps the boss a bit and cause him to use his fog attack.
edit: misinfo moment
@@LociLX ah i see, when the e1 only of your version run?
She was targeting the wrong dude
@@ILoveAmiya so, melantha deployed cus meant to hit the enemy that has more hp?
@@snipersytemsrosyida.8677 She was supposed to hit the enemy Steward was targeting
