Stuck on 42 - Astarte.
Trying the team comps it recommends but having trouble still. Any advice or things you had to focus on to get past this stage?

I picked the leftmost 3 cards for the fight
Phase 1:
- If she started with a purple or red pillar, I would just reset immediately. Resetting on red is not mandatory if you can tank her first big attack. Ideal start is any combination of blue or green, but 1 yellow is okay. 2 yellows was too much chip damage for me to deal with so I would just restart with 2 yellows up as well.
- Focus her main body until the third pillar spawns and then start focusing the pillars instead.
- Priority for me was Purple > Red > Blue > Yellow > Green
- Go back to focusing main body when you're back down to 2 pillars on the field
- Repeat until she's within one shot range
- Once she starts getting low, apply immune or debuff cleanse before going to phase 2
Phase 2: - You'll want immunity or debuff cleanse so you don't get RNG chain stunned by the purple snake
- Focus down the snakes in the same order as you would the pillars. Try to burst down the purple snake ASAP
Phase 3: - This was free. Just stay healthy. She does a lot of damage, but she's slow and she shouldn't be able to one shot you
I used Massiah, LIly, Freya, Lingluo, Kloss for my clear with only Massaiah being 6*, so you don't need too much investment to clear
elder elk
Yeah
Purple has a 30% chance to stun
Red incrase CR and CD for all enemies on the field
Yellow does 15% chip damage anytime a unit takes an action
I think green was effect res
but I remember blue and green only being annoying because their basic attacks silence your units
So you definitely want to take those out when there are too many pillars out at once, but it's pretty manageable when there are only 2
vivid dragon
yes the silence/stun are killing my runs
so are you just using s2/s1 at start are still using messiah s#
s3
elder elk
I'm still using S3
because the AoE is still useful for chipping
because you have to deal with the pillars when more spawn eventually anyways
I tried a run with Diting and he got out of phase 1 before her second attack, but I was struggling in phase 2 with him, but it might be worth playing around with as well
vivid dragon
dude ty, idk how i missed that. i thought her heerself was changing affinity
elder elk
Nah I feel you
vivid dragon
i tried diting but same problem, phase 2 im just stuck
and if he gets stunned or someting iom screwed
elder elk
The fight's so frustrating when you spawn in and it feels like your whole team is randomly getting chain stunned
vivid dragon
trying it now with the tips you said..... have you beat any inferno stages yet?
elder elk
lmk if you get stuck in p2 or p3 as well
vivid dragon
do you focus it down to 2 pillars or 1?
raw ingot
Phase 2 has been a massive pain for me as well and I saw this just got posted almost godsend
I did realised smacking the pillars helped. Phase 2 however is such a pain
vivid dragon
i was curhsing her and a puirple pillar spawned and got chained stunned 
elder elk
do you focus it down to 2 pillars or 1?
Focus down to 2

I tried to have Lingluo's S3 and Freya's S2 up before I phased for safety. The blue snake does a lot of damage when the red one is still alive
But once you kill purple and red the damage ramps down a lot
elder elk
so are you just using s2/s1 at start are still using messiah s#
Oh one other thing I forgot to mention is that I would use Lily's S3 only after Massiah used both his S3 and S2
and you should have all your DPS skill ready by the time the third pillar spawns
livid galleon
having same problem right now, wish you luck Fatal im having exact same problems
My Massiah is doing waaaaay less than Ditting tbh
both are equally equipped id say
those single target nukes from Ditting oneshot pillars
elder elk
I thought the same, but the AoE is really valuable in the second phase
too many things to deal with at once
and his invincibility is clutch sometimes
livid galleon
idk phase1 looked infinitely harder without Ditting xDD
2 casts on boss and phase1 is over
im gonna try running him + massiah at once
elder elk
the problem I had was
I loaded into phase 2 with no CDs
and by the time he had his CDs back up, I was getting chain stunned by the purple
livid galleon
yeeee, exactly same happened to me 1st try
what makes me wonder is how people managed to clear it with waaaay more random teams with no immunity or nothing
sometimes i feel like those clear records are fake
livid galleon
god damn, i took ur advice and restarted every time i saw red or purple pillar - ended up on 15 restarts until it went blue green
but lost anyway cuz or rng crit
vivid dragon
DAMMMITTTT, i made it to phase 3 for the first time
my kloss was just dead so i lost the sustain battle
livid galleon
nice try, im struggling too
My massiah doesnt do enough damage in phase 1, and ditting which excels here doesnt do shi in phase 2
lovely xD
livid galleon
ye thats what i thought of too
elder elk
I think I did 8 cure, 8 speed
livid galleon
im swapping her to speed
elder elk
I swap gear a lot
livid galleon
so she can cycle cd faster
elder elk
sorry I just realized I didn't get half their gear sets
Kloss and Freya are on speed and HP
12/4
and Lingluo is 8 cure 8 speed
vivid dragon
i feel like my kloss has way too much eff acc
livid galleon
ye swapped mine with spare parts too
vivid dragon
im at +200%
livid galleon
i feel like my kloss has way too much eff acc
get rid of one eff acc module and use HP bonus% instead
bulking ur supports works wonders
vivid dragon
yea im gunna do that
livid galleon
and u said Kloss is dying
livid galleon
I have to play without Freya though, got limited speed gear and in order to get Lingluo fast i had to strip her
Val instead of Freya should work right?
additonal sustain
vivid dragon
have seen some comps run two sustain, damage will just drop a bit tho
livid galleon
nah Ditting is going crazy xD
still no success, god
they literally oneshot me, i pulled off the trick with immunity
from what ur saying @elder elk it didnt seem that hard lmao
u see that tiny bit of hp taken on purple snake?
it was ditting ult which nearly oneshots boss
XD
vivid dragon
yea thatss why single target is gunna be tuff there
livid galleon
u sure about that?
exact same comp as me, exact same or close stats
i dont get it xD
i feel like im missing something all the time
going back to massiah+freya, if he doesnt do well now im gonna be mad
@elder elk any ideas why do i get completely demolished by phase 2?
they go 3 turns one after another and it kills at least 2 people
im not undergeared, idk
elder elk
I'm not sure
maybe it's a speed or CD thing
P1 was definitely the biggest wall for me
livid galleon
maybe it's a speed or CD thing
could you possibly show me stats of your supports?
for me its P2
livid galleon
i dont get even half amount of damage in phase1 that i get instantly in p2
elder elk
maybe attack buff ran out because of lily pushing massiah up or something
I went into P2 with Freya's buff
and had Lingluo S3 as soon as her turn started so I could get 2 turns of debuff immunity
and then prayed the blue snake didn't kill my team
livid galleon
elder elk
oh it's a little annoying
livid galleon
instantly wiping me
elder elk
but try to speed tune so turn order goes
Lily > Kloss > Freya > Massiah
Chip damage from Lily S1 helped a lot with things that lived with like 2%
livid galleon
What difference does it make if the order now is Lily > Freya > Kloss > Massiah
elder elk
and the shielding lion shell also helps a lot
livid galleon
After lily ult freya pushes herself up
elder elk
Just getting buffs ASAP
elder elk
Do you have an Artisan shell
livid galleon
it eats my team hard
elder elk
it's super clutch
Since I think AI prioritizes units that are lowest HP
but they don't see shields
elder elk
yeah maybe try
a really fast Lily with Artisan
so you get as many shields as possible
livid galleon
well, wont do the boss today then
need to wait for reset to farm for artisan lvling up

I finally just beat this with a pretty interesting composition, I didn't have lily or massiah so i had to use a unique group of characters
Kloss
Diting
Freya
Tsukiyo Mi
Helkid
Essentially you can burst down phase 1 with Kloss S3>Tsukiyo S3 on Kloss into Kloss S2 to get up his hack in, helkid S3 and Diting S3 for damage. Phase 2 was annoying but once I had a really clean phase 1 I did really well. Helkid is really strong here because he can prevent a lot of the stuns/debuffs that make this place really hard. Phase 3 was a joke as others have already stated, as long as you get to Phase 3 with somewhat decent health you should be good to finish it off

the main issue seems to be all the debuffs that they do tho

LETS GO MAN! Glad I could help!
I just realized they're not snakes but mini Astartes. oops

Been trying this fight for a few hours now, and the amount of CC flying around is actually insane. A single purple unit being up can singlehandedly destroy your run. And even when you avoid those, you get the thunderstruck stun and silences.

ya i spent 10 hours on this fight yesterday
layers of rng ontop of rng
was able to clear it at the end

Yeah I'm um, gonna do the meme and say "I think this fight is poorly designed."
It has several elements of a well-designed fight, but together they bloat it into a train wreck of unfun mechanics.
very bad fight
random grail
The best I've gotten was almost killing the purple mini Astarte in phase 2, using Diting, Freya, Lily, Lingluo and Valerian.
But then the other minis just chain AoE on their turn and sweep 2-3 people.
Tried a few different teams; currently replaced Diting with Xiada and Valerian with Kloss, but Xiada takes way too long to ramp up it feels like.

Haven't managed to get even to phase 2 with this team still. With Diting it was somewhat reliable, but then phase 2 rolled me every time.

I manage to clear this with almost the same team (i use kloss instead of valerian)
Took me quite some time, but i think important thing is to have all ur skills ready when u go into phase 2
If u have good rotation and can kill the purple snake fast, then u can lead with freya s3
Otherwise, try to sustain with freya s2 and ling luo s3

I'm free. This was a lot smoother.
Still had to restart every time I saw purple or red minions or she summoned one after her first ability.
Still had to restart a few times when the silence landed on a key unit and Lingluo's cleanse didn't remove it.
People weren't kidding that phase 3 is basically free, and even with Kloss dying in phase 2, it was smooth sailing once the purple and red mini Astartes were killed.
