In the Heretical Ruins, the boss keeps resurrecting phoenix eggs. If you don’t smash these eggs fast enough, the boss’s damage keeps climbing. We recommend you to build a team with strong group attacks. This guide uses a lineup of readily available Rare and Epic heroes to handle a Difficulty 9 challenge even if your skills aren't maxed out.

I. About the Boss

●Countermeasures:

1. Use timely group shields / healing;
2. Dispel buffs / Buff Prohibition;
3. Healing Prohibition / Healing Reversal;
4. Deploy heroes with Attack Penalty / DMG Reduction /Defense Up to ease your survival pressure;
5. Deploy heroes with strong group attacks to swiftly destroy the phoenix eggs.

II. Team Configurations for Clearing this Stage

[Recommended Level and Equipment]

●Recommended Level
This stage tests the survival ability of your tank and DPS heroes. Prioritize deploying heroes at level 90 or above, especially focusing on leveling up DPS heroes to swiftly eliminate the rebirth of phoenix eggs.
●Equipment Requirements
The whole team is recommended to have fully refined (+20), Legendary quality equipment. If you have Mythic Equipment like Moonlight Mantle, Tunnel King's Cloak or Precise Carnage Gauntlets with suitable attributes, you should use them at this stage. Adjust your equipment based on the overall strength and level of your team.

[Key Attribute Recommendations]

1. Ideally, the average HP of each of your heroes should be over 35,000.
2. It is recommended that your main tank hero have HP > 70,000 and DEF > 2,500;
3. Heroes responsible for applying debuffs should have more than 220 Accuracy.

III. Recommended Lineups

Lineup 1

Lineup: Rowena + Soveliss + Shook + Aladiah + Thia + Rava
Captain Aura: Rava - Crit Damage Aura
Positioning Example:

Tips and Strategies for Clearing the Stage：

1. Use Thia and Aladiah's ultimate skills just before the BOSS’s fourth skill for Debuff Immunity, shields, and DMG reduction.
2. After the boss’s third skill, activate Rava, Rowena, and Soveliss’s ultimate skills in sequence to swiftly take down the phoenix eggs.
3. If you miss the "Awakening the Spring of Iskalland" event and don't have Aladiah available, you can use Deverick instead, but be prepared for greater survival pressure.
4. When there's less pressure on DPS heroes, Soveliss can be replaced with Voresh.
5. Keep control abilities in reserve for emergencies when hero HP is low.

3. After the BOSS’s third skill, activate Rava, Sigrid, and Vidimir’s ultimate skills in sequence to swiftly destroy the phoenix eggs.
