Boss Killing Formation - Yggdrasil's Three Gateways

One of the most interesting factors about the new dungeon is that monsters seems to have shadows that spawn after dungeon start and only stop to spawn after gates are killed. In matters of finishing the dungeon that means that gates must go down as fast as possible, else you will need lots of cleaning teams for the huge amount of extra monsters. In this post I will discuss the self-made one-man formation for killing the vicious gates that guard the 3 floors of that dungeon.

With the basic rules of any boss killing formation and the knowledge that the gates are of the type/weapon bow and are flying, we can set the following formation:



The function of this formation is purely support and seal. The formation itself has no high damage power. But is focused to let other gate team members focus completely on damage.

And you are asking yourself: where is the damn main? Yes, it is not there intentionally.

Mains can replace:

• Druid: Axe main with Beast's Soul;
• Odysseus: Sword main with Shield Bash, Cannon main with Devastation Shell or Music Main with Ravaging Melody;
• Sheriff: Gun or Bow main with maxed buffs.
• Empress: Spear and Power Saw main, which might take Odysseus place as well, but you lose an important debuff.

How the formation works:

• Main characters: Support the entire team with Resurrection, Life Blessing and Awakening scrolls. Also defend/attack and cast the specific spell according to above replacements.
• Druid: Beast's Soul the back line.
• Odysseus: Shield Bash the gate/boss.
• Punishers: Broken Arrows the gate/boss. They don't awaken.
• Warlord: Demoralize the gate/boss.
• Sheriff/Empress/anything on back row: Attack the gate.

The next question should be: No awaken, holy guard or heal? Yes, you do it through your main and the scrolls, but the boss should not give you trouble if you are in a party as it should alternate the normal attack among all party fighters. Also, you don't need holy guard or empress' blessing because gate is permanently sealed.

Enjoy your time here :D
