[Sdorica] Adventurer's Workshop 23 - Polishing Will (vs Shirley)
8Event Time: 2023.04.05 - 2023.05.17
An Expired Croissant vs A Vengeful Ghost
Environmental Buff: Before any ally casts a skill, remove 1 random buff and gain Vitality +1.
Can be troublesome for buff centric teams and makes it more difficult to survive Shirley's onslaught later on.
0:00 - Team setup
Delay-Undead-Burn combination team
I don't recommend dragging this team all the way through
Switch Devious for Nolva during the path clearing.
And switch Puggi for Aosta, Baa Baa or Theodore for the boss fight.
Choose [Set Out] rune advisor skill
We'll need this as a fail safe for Undead upkeep game later.
2:31 - Polishing Will [Hard]
Slowly make our way through with Nigel's attack or Devious 4b.
4:56 - Polishing Will [Special]
Slowly make our way through with Nigel's attack or Devious 4b.
May start using Undead on Nigel here to speed up the process a bit
10:54 - Polishing Will [Extreme]
The main roadblock for unexpected players.
The Casino Bouncers in the first wave deal heavy damage and have low cooldown between their attack.
Each time they attack, they'll reduce our Vitality by 5.
They'll also change the command zone to either gold or white orbs, interfering with our Undead upkeep process.
Keep delaying them while slowly burning them down.
The Head Bouncers in the 2nd waves come with permanent 3 stacks of Vigilance!
Their attacks also drain Vitality just like the previous wave.
This is where most team will struggle to hit them and might end up losing due to Vitality lost.
But we can just Burn them to death without having to hit them anyway...
18:10 - Ballroom Scarlet [Special]
Both Shirley attack rapidly on 0 turn cooldown!
She prioritize back-row character and ignore Taunt.
Shirley can resurrect herself multiple times.
(3 times on the first wave and 5 times on the 2nd wave)
and each time she does, she'll remove all debuff on herself and attack once.
Shirley also has stacks of Stony Shield
(5 stacks on the first wave and 50 stacks! on the 2nd wave)
which deteriorate naturally overtime or each time she's revived back.
Additionally, 2nd Shirley's attack is stronger each time she come back to haunt us!!
(She can deal up to 50k damage!!)
We'll switch gear from making Nigel Undead to making Puggi Undead here since Shirley prioritize back-row character.
Have the croissant tank the ghost while having our goat burning the ghost down.
It's intense Undead upkeep game since Devious can only make white character Undead for 2 turns only.
(unless your Devious is skill enhanced level 2)
To improve the chance of success, don't use [Set Out] rune skill recklessly.
Keep it as fail safe for when we don't have any black orbs to extend Undead on Puggi.
Note that [Set Out] trigger at the start of turn so the Undead duration will reduce faster and we'll still have to use another 1b the next turn.
Try clearing more than orbs 2 a turn to increase the chance of finding more black orbs for Undead extension.
If Shirley has high cooldown (from Puggi 4w)
You can also fast sweep/tap and use multiple 1b before Devious erase them.
