Key takeaways
  • Summoning at your main production base
  • Bringing your everyday party
  • Ignoring slab fragment farming until the cap
  • Face-tanking telegraphed attacks

Summoning at your main production base

The boss fight wrecks whatever is around the altar. Summon at a dedicated empty base instead.

Bringing your everyday party

A general-purpose team with mixed elements loses to a raid boss. Build an element-matched counter squad.

Ignoring slab fragment farming until the cap

Fragments are the bottleneck. Collect them while levelling so the altar is never waiting on drops.

Face-tanking telegraphed attacks

Raid damage is tuned around dodging. If you are eating every telegraph, lower the difficulty by improving gear before the Pal roster.
