Blessings, Curios and other info at the end of the video. Read on for explanation:

So, I pretty much just kept stacking Blessings of Preservation and killed a Svarog that was 15 levels above me using Gepard's ability to apply shields to his team. This was my second attempt. The previous attempt failed on the boss's final phase coz the game was forcing Nihility blessings on me. That said, this run was far from perfect but a few "Quake" based blessings and an Error Curio that mitigated damage taken came in clutch. I'll talk about how you can try to attempt this, though I'm not sure whether it's viable on higher difficulties.

Obviously, Gepard's the main reason why this works. He applies a fat shield on all 4 members, which interacts well with Path of Preservation and Quake procs. I picked the bonus that helps charge the Path skill (R button) faster whenever a shield is generated. This is where Fire Trailblazer helps since she generates a lot of smaller shields of my party to charge the R attack. Natasha's here to heal and Asta offers breaking capability as well as a speed buff that has good uptime. Just FYI, I was using Gepard's skill on the boss to try and get a lucky freeze. I had a tier 3 blessing that could deal 30% Max HP damage on frozen enemies. I'm aware that Svarog has a resistance to Ice, which is why he never froze in this attempt. On the other attempt I had vs this boss, I managed to freeze him with the blessing that lowered enemy EFF Res.

For Blessings, just aim for stuff that boosts DEF, advances you in turn order, generates shields, strengthens shielding, offers stacking bonuses that will last over a long battle. Curios follow the same idea. Try to get stuff that boosts defense coz the R ability and "Quake" procs will finish the battle for you.

As far as investment on my lvl 40 characters, it's very minimal. Basically, I've got a +12 DEF% relic on my Gepard, but besides that, everyone's on +0 gear. Most of my investment is on Seele, who I didn't use for this battle (I did use her for the early stages of this run, but her damage suffers coz of the lvl difference so any DPS should work in her place). Gepard's also still using a 3* lightcone, albeit a good one called Amber.

Just wanted to post this coz I was pretty proud of pulling it off. Thought beating World 3 was cool too. Didn't think World 4 would be possible, but here we are. For all I know though, this isn't impressive. I'm just basing this on youtubers telling me that fighting things over 5 levels above you is a bad idea.

Gonna end this by saying Star Rail's a fun game and I'm particularly high on this Simulated World mode and I hope they keep building on to it.
