Humble brag and shame

Took me a year since I started playing (July 2024, F2P) to finally beat this stage, and after doing a few cartwheels and fist-pumping the air I realised I forgot to revive Slayer before landing the final blow... lol 

The Faction just closed too so I have to wait for it to open another time to try again. Woot.

I have very few DEF debuffers other than Deathless so I had to let Crimson Slayer die to gain a DEF debuff, Mis-Mon's needs a Stun to land and that will never happen against a boss. 

My plan worked but only after I took it off auto and manual played it. Over 50mins of RSI and eye ache caused me to slip up and missed the revive. Oh well. At least I know what to do next time!

GZ getting thru it.  Can be a very tough faction.  Could try Phranox in place of death dealer perhaps.  She can hit very hard.

She is good but I don't have the gear to make her work well, that Cruel gear was on her before I moved it Crimson. I had to remove Phranox becasue she has no control and I needed someone to do something about the minions during the boss fight. Crimson put them to sleep and stole the boss' turn meter, she really helped big time!

Agree, this Faction is extremely tough. If you have the right champions, though, everything is a cakewalk.

Right now Sacred Order is my nemesis, I only have damage dealers (Alice, Hansel, Athel) in that Faction and it's the only one that's taking longer to beat than Knights Rev. :/

Whoa... IDK if I would have the patience to do a 30 minute Faction stage. I sure hope that you ran it on auto instead of manual. I think I'd toss my phone across the room after 10 minutes.

Congrats to you. Knight Rev is one of the hardest stage 21 3 star to do. A good combo is Skullcrown and Sinesha. My main account after 4 years and thousands of shards finally got Sin from a Primal shard about 2 weeks ago. A little too late for me. My Skullcrown was already +4 and 5 star awakened by the time I got her. I just quietly got her to lv 50 and put her in my vault. =P

Worth doing it, *once*, to get 3* and then never have to do it again.

I shudder to think of how many *hours* i spent manually trying to 3* dwarf 21 normal. I didn;t have any legos at the time, and no dps other than geo. IIrc my team was geo, rearguard, master butcher, jarl and little conehead. No dps, No revive. Came down to stun and provoke sets and a couple hundred attempts to get the rng to work out just right.


Edit: then all within about a month of each other I got Gnut, Demytha, Melga and Gala, and could easily 3* 21 on auto in about 2 minutes.

I'd have to go dig up the screenshot but back in 2021 I think my first KR21 clear took at least an hour

I do not miss those days, though finally getting Lydia was probably the peak time in raid

It is this kind of long struggle, followed by success, that makes this a game worth playing.

I have a fully built Faceless sitting in mt vault I only used for Stage 21 and never anything since.  Man it was brutal back then without and revivers.

Same. Faceless was the KR21 GOAT back in the day.  I remember building my whole KR21 team with "high" resist to prevent the buff steal.      

Cleared it with all epics:  Sinesha (stun set) in Lead for Aura, Monster, Rector, Faceless and the last was probably Sepulcher.  The whole team was about keeping Faceless alive to do the work.  It was definitely a longish manual run.

huh, I just checked, faceless is one of 4 epics in the game i've never gotten yet;

The others being Runekeeper Dazdurk, Basher, and ...cagebreaker, who isn't even void. Huh, that's wierd

I had to manual it, they could not be trusted on Auto. Like MooredRat said, thankfullly, it's a 'get it done once and never again' deal. :)

Solid epic for sure.  Comes in a few different city stages.

We did love an hour long manual run back in the day.

At least we still have the absolute *joy* of doing a 45+ minute 1000+ turn fight in Sin City because you need ONE champ to not use their a2 and the devs wont allow team set-ups for it

And that is exactly why I have never cleared all of Sintranos.  When I get down to the last few stages, all of which will likely require extensive gear-swappping and multiple manual runs to get good rng, I cannot bring myself to care enough to sink in that time & effort....that is not my idea of fun.
