Void Battles Guide

Void battles are a type of event quest centered on boss battles, unlocked upon the completion of Chapter 7 (Normal). There are multiple types of rewards one can obtain from void battles, most importantly currency

for void battle treasure trade(which resets every month) and material for void weapons that are viable alternatives to standard weapons and offer abilities instead of skills.

Progression

Each void battle have one or more special mechanics that you can read about in-game with the "Details" button. The easier void battles have no special requirements, while the harder void battles require weapons crafted using materials dropped by the easier void bosses.

Make sure to pick an adventurer with access (i.e. has the right weapon type and element) to the proper void weapon.

To be prepared for tier 3 void battles:

• Void Zephyr

1. Healers may skip crafting the void weapon, but having Dull Res can help the party clear faster.
2. Fight Wandering Shroom for a Dull Res weapon.
3. Fight Steel Golem for a Dull Res weapon.
4. You are now ready for Void Zephyr.

• Raging Manticore

1. If you and your team can memorize the attack patterns, you can skip making the void weapon and fight without breaking overdrive.
2. Fight Frost Hermit for a Dull Res weapon.
3. Fight Obsidian Golem for a Fury Penetrator weapon.
4. You are now ready for Raging Manticore.

• Void Agni

1. Healers may skip crafting the void weapon, but the Scorching Air Res staff gives you more room for positioning mistakes.
2. If you are a Bow user, fight Frost Hermit for a Skill Resistance Penetrator weapon.
3. Otherwise, fight Frost Hermit for a Dull Res weapon then fight Obsidian Golem for a Scorching Air Res weapon.
4. You are now ready for Void Agni.

Tier 1

The following bosses do not require other void weapons to fight.

Blazing Ghost Strike

Boss Abilities:

• Ranged Resistance: Significantly reduces the damage dealt by characters that use ranged weapons: Bow Wand Staff.

• Strength Down

• Stun

Tips:

• This fight is fairly easy as long as you don't bring a ranged character.

• Healers are not neccessary as the ghost's attacks are fairly easy to dodge. Stun resistence is optional for the same reason.

Weapon Abilities

• Blinded Punisher

• Dull Res: there are currently no light attribute void battle that inflicts dull.

Wandering Shroom Strike

Boss Abilities:

• Disperse: When entering overdrive, spawn multiple Wandering Shrooms and shrinks the original Wandering Shroom.

• Paralysis

Tips:

• Take care of Wandering Shrooms first, before they overwhelm the team.

• Wandering Shrooms can be knocked down with force strikes, which interrupts their attacks.

Weapon Abilities

• Thaumian's Bane

• Dragon Delay Res: relevant for Void Zephyr, but Dull Res is more important.

• Dull Res: relevant for Steel Golem

• Copy Punisher: relevant for Frost Hermit

Tier 2

Void weapons are very helpful here, but the bosses can be defeated without the correct weapon as long as you have player skill and/or sheer offensive power.

Frost Hermit Strike

Boss Abilities:

• Propagation: Create multiple copies of itself upon entering overdrive

Tips:

• The true body of the Hermit will not have a small floating HP bar and will have the overdrive visual effect, focus your attacks on it.

• If you are having trouble, consider making a Copy Punisher weapon from Wandering Shroom to quicky destroy the copies.

Weapon Abilities

• Undead's Bane

• Skill Resistance Penetrator: relevant for Void Agni, but Scorching Air Res is much more important for melee weapon users.

• Dull Res: relevant for Obsidian Golem Strike

Steel Golem Strike

Boss Abilities:

• Dull: Attacks inflicts an affliction that significantly reduces the strength of a character for a while.

Tips:

• Fight Wandering Shroom and build a Dull Res weapon first.

• Steel Golem has long telegraphed attacks, which can be interupted by breaking. Focus on spamming force strikes as soon as it enters overdrive.

• Healers are optional, since the attacks are all dodgable.

Weapon Abilities

• Physian's Bane

• Dull Res: relevant for Void Zephyr

Obsidian Golem Strike

• Dull: Attacks inflicts an affliction that significantly reduces the strength of a character for a while.

• Poison

Tips:

• Fight Frost Hermit and build a Dull Res weapon first.

• Obsidian Golem has the same attack pattern as the Steel Golem, so the same advice applies.

Weapon Abilities

• Undead's Bane

• Scorching Air Res: relevant for Void Agni Strike

• Fury Penetrator: relevant for Raging Manticore Strike

Tier 3

You are usually expected to have the void weapon for these fights, especially for the void dragons. Please come prepared.

The weapons you can craft with dropped material here aren't required for other void battles, instead they are meant for general usage as alternatives to the standard weapons.

Void Zephyr Strike

Boss Abilities:

• Dragon Delay: Attacks deplete the dragon gauge.

• Dull: Attacks inflicts an affliction that significantly reduces the strength of a character for a while.

Tips:

• There are unavoidable attacks in this fight, so a healer is recommended unless the team has enough DPS to finish the battle before too much damage is sustained.

• Void Zephyr has short and mid range attacks that with no telegraphing, try to keep to his sides and back.

• Since Void Zephyr is flying, you can move under it.

• Upon entering overdrive, Void Zephyr will use the unavoidable Savage Squall. This attack is why a Dull Res void weapon is highly recommended.

• Howling Vortex is a homing crosshair attack whose damage is split among adventurers hit by it. The best way to avoid it is to break Void Zephyr before it occurs, but if that's not doable please stand in the circle and help your teammates split the damage.

• Spiral Tornados is a series of purple attacks that fire in a clockwise fashion, centered on Void Zephyr. The fastest way to dodge is to run to the spot anti-clockwise of the first purple marker, then move into the place where the first marker was after the first tornado has fired.

• Although fairly difficult due to Dragon Delay, it's possible to avoid dull from Savage Squall by shapeshifting into a dragon.

Raging Manticore Strike

Boss Abilities:

• Fury: Overdrive gauge cannot be depleted by player attacks.

• Poison

• Curse

Tips:

• All attacks can be dodged, so a healer is optional.

• When in overdrive state, Manticore's attacks are no longer telegraphed. However, each attack still have distinct preamble animation that indicate which move is being used.

• Fury Penetrator weapons required only if you intend to break overdrive. Not breaking overdrive has some benefits, for example overdrive punisher would be effective for nearly the entire fight.

Void Agni Strike

Boss Ability:

• Scorching Air: Deals damage to any adventurer within a certain area around Void Agni

• Skill Resistance: Significantly reduce damage from skills.

• Stun

Tips:

• The size of Scorching Air is approximately the same as the range of Lance users. Any adventurer with a shorter range (including Lances themselves) should bring Scorching Air Res weapon but only Swords and Daggers have access to a proper weapon at this time.

• Since you cannot have Scorching Air Res and Skill Resistance Penetrator at the same time, the skills of melee characters are only useful for iframes.

• Nearly all attacks will inflict stun. Try to get 75%+ stun res or run with as the healer.

• Heat Seeker is an unavoidable purple attack. It's very important that everyone spread out during Heat Seeker, since you will get hit by the attack multiple times on places where the circle overlaps. If there are non-stun resistant teammates, a player should save their first skill and use it right after this attack.

• Devastation/Flames of Devastation is a long rectagular purple attack that fires 2 times (3 if overdrive), will always target the farthest adventurer, and will move to track the player. Pay close attention to when the attack bar fills up and dodge at the last second. Shapeshifting into a dragon is acceptable if you are not confident in your dodge timing.

• Heavy Eruption is a purple attack that drops mounds of lava on the battlefield and will track players. This attack is followed by Coronal Ignition which is unavoidable unless you hide behind a lava mound. If you find yourself targeted, do your best to place the mounds close to Void Agni in order to make it easier for people to hide behind them. That said, the best way to avoid Coronal Ignition is to break overdrive before it happens.
