Indom posts a modest improvement over last week, and while experiencing a few Minotaur pathing bugs and navbar display of high score issues!

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS!

 

Indomitable wipes out not just their old record, but COMPLETELY shatters all other shards with 1831 (20 players!).

Updated Excelsior's high score. I've been told it was a pick up league too, so they've done quite a leap for their effort!

 

Also, during our Mino Monday run today on Indomitable, we got 1826 defeats with 18 players. So we've got the 1st and 2nd highest scores currently 😄

Posting for everyone to appreciate!

 

 

And Excelsior takes the lead in dominant fashion! We've got a serious challenge on our hands now. Who will be the first to 2,000 defeats? Well done!

Well since Indom and Excelsior are the two heavy hitters in this high score thread, I figured I would share with the other shards some of the things I've learned to encourage them. I'm assuming if you're reading this you're already familiar with @Laucianna Labyrinth of Fog raid guide, so I'll stick to the things I've learned that's not covered. 

 

• The Minotaur is not the final boss, only the gateway to the Font. Be prepared for the 1 hour timer start the moment the Minotaur is defeated by positioning a player in the league with Incandescence in the True Core. The very moment the Minotaur is defeated, the door to the Font appears and can be clicked. So click the door and then Incan the league in next to the Mythic Fog immediately.

 

• When the 'ballroom blitz' starts, focus on bringing the enemies as close as possible to the focal player (Tank, Kheldian, etc) to maximize AoE damage. This is where Targeted Area of Effect powers really shine. Blizzard, Tar Patch, Tide Pool, they're all welcome and more! If that focal player has Fold Space, it's going to increase defeat speed SIGNIFICANTLY compared to those without. And the more Fold Space users, the better. Time is wasted getting the mobs to walk over to the focal player. 

 

• Have two Incan users to move with the Mythic Fog during the first 750 enemy defeats. Incan is on a 2-min timer, whereas the Mythic Fog seems to always be a few seconds off that, so rotate between two Incan users for maximum effect.

 

• The moment a Giant Monster spawns, focus all attention on it. Some Giant Monsters are worse than others. Jack and Kronos seem to cause the most havoc with KB and debuffs, where as the Arachnos Flyer can be sneezed at and will explode.

 

• Achyls has THICC resistance and will take considerable debuffing. Using Chemical Burn Nuke, stacking as much -res, and ensuring everyone is at the damage cap at all times will contribute to a quicker defeat time.

 

• After 750 defeats, no more Giant Monsters will spawn and the Font will no longer pull players to the center. This means the league can reposition itself away from the Mythic Fog permanently and instead form around the center circle where the enemies spawn (don't touch the hazy pit in the center though!).

 

• Don't be afraid of loading up on Warburg Nukes, Arachnos/ Longbow/ Vanguard Mechs pets, Signature Summon pets (Lord Recluse particularly!), Shivans, and the kitchen sink!

 

That's just a few I can think of off the top of my head. I know there's some more helpful insight out there I've missed so I'll @ some folks who can also contribute.

Rude to comment on her without seeing her 😜 The Avatar of Achlys however has THICC resistance XD

Other then that main thing is those fold spaces, the more of them the better it will go 💛 I personally prefer Statesmen over Recluse for the AoE damage lightning however I did not think about nuking the Avatar!

Also a huge tip: NEVER STOP FOLD SPACING! Even as the GM spawns, as the font tries to pull you to your death, or when the Avatar spawns. The more you kill the better it is and AOE will clear around the big bosses whilst you focus them still 😄

You can survive the font pull by using green inspirations, with a high speed move fly or just using combat teleport.
