sky trail help please

[Brutal_Hobo]

so i have tried sky trail over and over stage 2 level 10
this wind boss is quite irritating i need to know what im doing wrong, as i have no clue
i know i can beat it, i've been to same area for quite a while last bar and it spawns those minions
i thought after this whip event boosting my br 12k i can finally beat it, but nope

8 mdef
4 block
4 crit

i recently beat it and it looks like you need more HP and more firepower. And an ageis would also help lol

i also saw that you used delphic quite early in your first awakening. maybe you could build unstable voltage up a bit. even with switching troops to back or sth. you only want to use normal mode for inc and bloodthirsthy and build rage to get that. otherwise sylph mode is your way to go.

at start you used double arrow (sorry dunno arch skills) and ap at start, why not start with awakening? if you're at front start with inc, than awaken. awaken is your way to deal massive dmg.

like i said a sc event could give you the final push, but if you play with some routine and runes i think you could beat it earlier.

the delphic i use early so i can get a 2nd sylph round in before the end
the reason i use multi shot and armour piercer is so i can double shot in sylph mode
those are 2 really fast skills
so you are taking the same amount of damage as just a normal awakening or an inc. awakening
another reason i left fast was so i could get IS and guardian up
and you could see the massive damage reduction it had on the whirlwind attack

next sc event is what im banking on, the runes i was thinking a brutality but i would need to ditch heal and hope for some luck with regens
i will just keep using my 10 attempts daily, im sure i can get it with a little luck

since you're very close to it, maybe you could try using different runes

for example use brutal before delphic, maybe that could help you benefit doing slightly more dmg to beat it.

otherwise you face 2 possibilities: one increase atk (since you're very close to beating it the key is to do more dmg before you die)
other is to increase survivalability, this seems more logical since it doesn't buff when you die. however at this moment you have to try to gamble to increase survivability.

As a knight i passed it at around 200k br if i remember correctly without any kind of speed reductions. But also i have tried so many times like you do, you just need a little more luck for astrals to trigger and to dodge some of damage. Have you tried to switch defense gems with block just for this stage ?

been using the gems fenri suggested
it helps a little more with full block rounds
but i take more damage when i dont get a block

i had 40 attempts today just going at it for an hour

i just kept going to the last bar, always one shot away
it really sucks
but i think i got a pattern down, spamming armour piercer in the back row justt testing i took out 2 bars, im gonna try find away to put that with a sylph to finish it

def isnt useless in sky trail,thou it doesnt help as much as res

[Brutal_Hobo]

first of all: nice song!

i'm not really sure about beating that thing, it was the pre-nerf of slow back then so i could beat it like that.
you dont need mdef gems. according to a friend def is useless in sky trail, so you want 8 atk, 8 block, 8 hp, 8 crit. Your crit is suprisingly low, do you crit often enough?

Regarding asrtals: i guess sky is perfect to use: block, illusion and regeneration

well mdef gems have helped me quite a bit it seemed, but i will try swap for block if you think i might be better off that way

my crit is perfect atm
well kind of, for 160k br (pre whip event) i was critting 90% of the time
i crit almost every strike

its dropped off a bit but its still pretty nice rate, i missed sylph delphic crit in spire today, first time in a really really long time

the problem is, i had around 10k crit at one time and i wasnt critting, i had to drop it before i started to crit again

I didnt even know res reduction worked on bosses.

it should
i noticed an immediate difference on wb as soon as i unlocked it
delphic was hitting consistently for 100k more

[pietjeprecies]

thats because my hp is at like 225k
usually a heal rune/BTS together will heal me back 70-80%
my res reduction is 240
still really low

Used this method myself, even dropped my mdef and pdef astrals for oranges.
