the new trial is too hard

[ShinigamiKiba]

My biggest issue here is the confusion
I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, if others are doing it wrong
like everyone says different stuff and that confuses me big time

[Fynlar]

Because they stood under Vishap's foot and dies

Seriously, that's the only thing that kills.

Hasn't been in my experience. I have been one-shotted by several other things in this fight, like exploding berthas.

Speaking of Vishap though, his feet do way too much damage, considering the strategy seems to be "pile the mobs under him to get blasted by the cannons"

You need two people on cannon/tether duty. You need one person on tower duty. You need one tank on add duty. You need (at least) one healer.

Everyone else attacks the dragon and doesn't stand in things. That's it.

First off, the only attacks that hit you are attacks that can be avoided. If the dragon jumps, you didn't tether him. If the turtle stomps, you didn't stun him. If the Berthas explode, you stood in them while they were being destroyed.

Second, piling under him means piling under his BELLY, not his feet. His belly will not damage you, nor will his tail. Just don't move near the feet.

Was about to reply to you but yeah, the dude below quoted said what I wanted to.

No kidding, the instant death moves are avoidable, what?

It's just very hard to see sometimes where you can't go, because the mobs are too numerous + take up too much space.

Man, this topic had me worried about this fight but it wasn't bad at all, just needed a little communication.

Yes. That turtle is the 2nd boss of SVHM. Your 2 cannons have the exact same skill to stun it. And before he does the stun the turtle has to cast it, and it has a 360 degree pulsing indicator that he is going to cast that, and that's the cue for your cannon boys to stun it.

The snaring should come natural though, if not how you'd fire the Dragonslayer to damage it? If he's not snared he will jump and come down on you with the Body Slam thing and that hits for like 7K.

I keep telling people to let the ads for the canons
they attack the ads
I keep telling people not to use the green goop
they use the green goop
I try to grab all ads, I see them red on my screen, some turn yellow, stop following me I have to go back re-geab them
I bring the ads to the front i get blasted with aoes
I bring them just at the start of the dumb dragon's head people can't damage them

I don't know anymore

we come half way through and the boss isn't even 50% down

Do you see the size of Vishnu? It's a blessing that the bridge still holds under his weight lmao. His feet deal too little damage in my opinion lol

And that would be why realism doesn't exactly make for a fun gaming experience.
