[Area] Aetherblade Hideout Challenge Mode - World Record (4:50) | Power Catalyst
12We redid AH CM to get back the record. The comp consisted of the best in slot power dps support builds (chrono obviously is neccessary here for the cc and herald for the boons since we run no heal) and then the best in slot dps which in this case would be power soulbeast. due to maces being implemented into the game recently it is stronger than ever but even with hammer, a 5:00 kill should be doable under ideal conditions.
Now a little bit about my performance and role since i am the only one not on soulbeast. I went with catalyst because that is what i play best, at the same time i tried to help with cc as much as possible and i sped up the final phases by a lot.
Mai trin p1: i decided to reset air skills with elite both because you don't get that much value from wildfire due to the short phase and the boss moving around after and because with how fast we were i didn't have elite back in echo p1. i skipped water to save water 4 for cc
Mai trin p2: this phase and p3 is where i can pull ahead and not just because of btth but also because i can camp the boss since soulbeasts/chronos kill the adds with ranged attacks. so i gained dps uptime by immediately shadowstepping to the boss and doing my burst rotation (since i used 3 spheres previously and my energy resetted due to the boonstrip, i had enough for 2 now)
Split phase: here i just use my cc skills, water first and then i wait for air attunement cd, since the dps add doesn't need any help at this point.
Mai trin p3: i can again be on the boss fast and since i know it is gonna dash, i drop my spheres to the next location.
Echo p1: here i did some cringe things and dropped stacks by not combing earth 2 into a field which shouldn't be happening. It didn't matter that much because i still got 40k which is what i usually do. I again don't go water at all because i want to save the cc. I also dont use air sphere and don't go fire a 2nd time even though i could end the phase there because i want to follow a specific sequence right after
Echo split 1: so what i do is drop air sphere on the cc add so as me and the slbs assigned to cc can leap there for dazing strike, i leap with air 2, use air 4, water 4 and go out with water 2. then i am just killing the adds at my side and go finish off the dps add while making sure i dont drop stacks and i end up in air when the boss is vulnerable
The rest of the Echo fight is just the same as what i described above. I tried to not get any exposed stacks because even though we had some healing through healing spring from the soulbeasts and i healed with the heal skill into water 5 combo at the end of the add splits, if you get stacks it adds a lot of pressure and you can't sustain writ uptime (or you might just go down if something hits you).
