Do the admins know what is the best timer in this beta?

[JohnWatson]

That's actually very impressive, is it possible that you could share your strategy for the entire match?

Sure, after all it's for the community, and the event will finish in few days.
Edit : And sorry for yesterday, i was sleeping.

LINE-UP

TANK :

Spoiler

We choose to play with two WX-78 because of their passive, they are able to shock ennemies who attack them, and sometimes this passive trigger for all ennemies around them.
Moreover, against the last bosses, their passive is quite usefull to chain lock the bosses and win lot of time for the final phase.

DPS :

Spoiler

We picked Wigfrid and Wilson for this role.
Wigfrid have a passive who grant 25% dmg for the "next" attack, i wonder if it's really usefull but for now, i guess that's quite efficient for the entire match. And she can later use a molten dart to boost her damage, she's still able to trigger her ability. We have 2 melee tank, it's enough (Because we only have 2 armor 90% / No knockback)
For the second DPS, we needed someone who could use Darts AND Staves, because for the scorpion phase Maxwell is too busy to lock them for dealing dmg with the fire stave, so we choose Wilson, after all if someone died we could ressurect him faster with enough life to continue the battle, and he can deal damage with a molten dart and use staves against scorpion. It was his job to kite the boarilla too because Wigfrid have a passive who make it harder to keep the boss attention.

WIZARD / DPS :

Spoiler

For this role, we choose Maxwell because of his passive, he can summons 5 shadow who deal 35dmg each one, but more important, theses shadow are able to "stun lock" bosses for few seconds, and it's really usefull against Boarilla and Boarrior.

HEAL :

Spoiler

Wickerbottom is the best healer of this mode because of her passive, she is able to grant a big amount of healing if she dealed enough dmg to trigger her passive.

STRATEGY

PIG WAVE :

Spoiler

We placed 2 people each side to wipe the two first wave fastly.
When 3 pig wave spawned, we lock one spawn with The Petrification Book, and killed the two other side (then come back for the first side).
When the 4 pig wave come, we placed one healing area on the middle and let all the pig sleep, we use all our aoe then freezing them with the book, and killed them one per one.

CROCOMMANDERS :

Spoiler

For this wave, Maxwell need the "Cooldown Crown" to be able to stun lock one side alone, and all the team stay on one side.
When they change side for killing the last Crocommanders, Maxwell switch side for the next wave, and freezing the other side.

SLURTOISE :

Spoiler

All the team stay on one side (Where 2 Slurtoise spawn), and Maxwell goes on the middle side for freeze the first three Slurtoise, then takes the attention of the 2 Slurtoise from the top, he have to lock at least 4 Slurtoise (And let the last one continue his way)
The team focus always one Slurtoise, and use their ability for avoid the shell mode.

SCOURGIONS :

Spoiler

We did the same strategy than the Slurtoise, but we tried another variant that would be more efficient, Maxwell manage to lock 5 Scourgions on the middle side, when the team finished their 2 first Scourgions, they use all their aoe spell against the last 5 Scourgions, then Maxwell freeze them again
Maxwell needs two book to always got the freezing speel ready.

BOARILLA :

Spoiler

Maxwell no need to freeze anymore, he switch DPS with the fire staff.
For this phase, We let Wilson (Or Winona for our recent try) kite the Boarilla while we focus Scourgions, then Slurtoise, and finally we coming back for finish Boarilla.
The two tank took the 90% armor, and Maxwell switch his armor for the 85% one.

DOUBLE BOARILLA :

Spoiler

Wilson stay away for kiting one Boarilla while all the team concentrate on the other one.
For this phase, the team manage to move their Boarilla on the middle spawn side, so they can instantly killed the Crocommanders who will spawn.
When the first Boarilla die, they stay on the same side to finish the second Crocommanders wave, then finish the 4 other add (2 Scourgions and 2 Slurtoise)
NOTE : You have to avoid any damage on the second Boarilla, the Grand Forge Boarrior phase trigger when the second Boarilla is about to die
Once all the add are dead, finish the Boarilla and prepare for the last phase.

GRAND FORGE BOARRIOR :

Spoiler

For the last boss, each player have a number, and they stun the boss one per one for stun lock the boss and gain time.
Maxwell's shadow are really helpfull to stun lock the boss for few seconds.
The first heal is placed for the tank, but we continue to DPS, as long the boss don't attack in distance, we don't need to temporize.
When the second heal is placed under the boss, all people stop DPS and heal while the boss sleep.
NOTE : With the recent patch, the heal have to be under the boss, if not the boss could manage to avoid it
If we dealed enough dmg, we could trigger the Pig Wave without using the third heal (We currently try this strategie, but sometimes one player took too much damage and we have to sleep the boss before the Pig Wave, and that become really dangereous for us...)
For the pig wave, we have to manage to keep the healing spell and the meteor spell. We sleep the boss after few seconds, and lead ALL THE PIG in the healing area, then we use the meteor spell and all our aoe for finishing them with one strike. We kill all the battle standards and start the final phase.
For the final, same strategie than the start, but that could be dangereous fastly because the boss unlock a new melee abilities, but as long we keep our calm and stun the boss one per one, we can avoid a lot of damage.
And it's the END.
