Suggestions for Dark 3* to break?
Maybe Tyrum for versatility and Bjorn for damage?
Aether quests ( Mirage of Omega )
Carpet bombing
Actually, you can do it with 4x Bomb attacks
Click for math
4x 300 damage Bomb attack = 1,200
5x 400 damage Dragon attack = 2,000
4x Harpoons divided by 2x Bosses = 2x 750 damage Harpoon per Boss = 1,500
Total = 4,700 damage
Battle items
| Battle item | Bosses | Mobs | Available |
|ā|ā|ā|ā|ā|
| Harpoons | 4x | 1x | 5x |
| Dragon attacks | 5x | 0x | 5x |
| Bomb attacks | 4x | 1x | 5x |
| Mana 25 % / 37.5 % potion | 0x | 10x | 10x |
Bosses
= Save for bosses
Mobs
= use on mobs, especially wave 4, to reach Bosses
Mana 25 % / 37.5 % potion
= adds + 25 % mana ( before modifiers ) or + 37.5 % for purple heroes like Rigard

But Carpet bombing finished the quest
Carpet Bombing Team 2021-11-21
Wilbur, and Rigard, were tied for MVP
Rigard for heal, and cleanse, at boosted mana generation
Wilbur to help deal with Elite sniper, defense down, mobs
Bonus, shared damage among enemies does not count as a status ailment
If Wilbur did not die before Bosses, the shared damage would have let me use +1 more harpoon ( 7x 1* ingredients ), and -1 less Bomb attack ( 1x 3*, 2x 2* ingredients )
With Wilburās shared damage
b.Boril = 1.25x 3= 3.75x shared damage / 5x heroes sharing damage = effectively 0.75x counter attack
c.Boril = 0.6x 5= 3.0x shared damage / 5x heroes sharing damage = effectively 0.60x counter attack
Team
Rigard 4*+18
b+.Boril 4*+1
b+.Boldtusk 4*+18
( replace ? ) Tiburtus 4*+18
Wilbur 4*+1
b+
= Base with costume bonus
Next time try
Rigard 4*+18
( change ? ) b+.Boril 4*+1
b+.Boldtusk 4*+18
( change ) Frida 5*+1
Wilbur 4*+1
b+
= Base with costume bonus
c
= Costume hero
Tiburtus has splash damage, boosted mana generation and normal damage steal HP but weak versus purple
Switch for
Frida was buffed attack since 2019 HotM family added, has target and nearby damage, and neutral damage versus purple
Costume Boril is sturdier than base Boril, maybe switch
Base Boldtusk has revive chance, and better damage buff, but costume Boldtusk has better healing. Might try depending on results of swapping out Tiburtus for Frida
Stage 5
Stage 5 was tough
Dual bosses with minion healing just sucks for Classic 4* / 5* hero teams
Especially with four waves of Elite sniper, defense down, mobs
Tried several teams of Classic, base heroes but no luck
Decided to Carpet bomb

I used mono dark on the early levels thinking that I would benefit from the buffs and how Iāve used mono blue against the blue enemies.
On the second to last stage I lost two heroes on wave one because I wasnāt really paying attention. Made me rethink my strategy.
Switched to a mostly holy team:
Gullinbursti - Freya - Uraeus - Joon - Wu
Took out the last two levels easily.
LB Colors
I made the same decision
I discovered
Mono
Red / Blue / Green limit breakers quests work with decent color matching mono teams because heroes do neutral damage to the enemies and mono does powerful color stacking
Mono
Yellow / Purple limit breakers quests need GOOD color matching mono teams, with lots of synergy ( looking at you Ranvirā¦ NOT ) because heroes do weak damage to the enemies, advanced color stacking appears to have a soft cap ( see attempts to reverse engineer ), and mono allows 4x colors to charge mana for Elite mobs with practically zero damage
FIN
I also tried some purple heroes (not full dark mono tho) and it did not go well, I lost to the final stage bosses. I switched to 3-2 green/red with Heimdall, Elizabeth, Francine, C.Marjana, and Atomos. Cake walk through the mob waves. As soon as I hit the boss wave both final bosses targeted Heimdall and wiped him out. Still managed to win without healing.
i think iām in a minority of players who doesnāt like Bjorn, but plenty do, so i canāt say heād be a bad LB idea.
Tyrum is a disappointment as one of the few 3* dispellers (cleanser for the costume side).
if Treevil is released as is from beta, maybe that one. i would also suggest Edd and Guardian Bat: Edd would benefit from a bit more damage as a fast sniper; Guardian Bat would get a scaling benefit from the attack up since he does more damage if more allies are dead.
i might also suggest Balthazar and C. Renfeld. especially in Rush Attack tournaments, C. Renfeld can catch some people by surprise.
@VeryQuietly , your excellent infographic may need to be updated to remove the term āelite enemiesā, pending the outcome of this thread:
We will see what will be the final conclusion of that topic.
Staff might add them to count as an elite enemy in the next build.
Worked really well for me on the first few levels, but I got absolutely massacred twice on the last stage with a mono purple crew of C. Rigard, Sartana, Zulag, Domitia, and Quintus. (Yeah, I know. My purples kinda suck.) Swapped over to my mono green squad, mainly for Heimdall, since the monsters seem to like to target the same hero with two consecutive specials a lot, and Heimdall could mitigate that with overheal/resurrection.
Team was Heimdall (overheal/res), Caedmon (dispell bossesā stolen buffs), Lianna (damage), Kadilen (special skill def), and C. Melendor (heal/flip def down). True to form, Caedmon got taken out on the first wave, but I navigated the rest of the mirage with four heroes. Despite Heimdall firing several times, I wasnāt able to res Caedmon until the final boss barely had any HP showing. Let him do his special for the win, just because . Still required a few healing potions, antidotes, and time stops. Might have to look at carpet bombing with harpoons next time, per @Gryphonknight .
They should, but wonāt help us today, sadly. Guess Iāll just go farm some low-level elites somewhere now that mirages is done and dusted. Not like I was gonna spend a ton of WE chasing stupid gnomes anyway.

Figured there had to be a Valhalla stage with elite mobs, but was too lazy to go looking. Many thanks.
Speaking of them, I canāt chase gnomes if I donāt see themā¦
Manā¦I only caught one and then I thought I killed him but he never left the screen like he turned into a ghost but not in ghost formā¦
Must be some kind of bug but I also think if the gnomes donāt appear, might be better to take them out of the game so that players donāt feel scammed.
Thatās a known issue. Thereās a post about it somewhere on here. Supposedly, the loot isnāt affected; itās just a visual issue.
Blue LB quest
A very good friend of mine, highly recommends the following for my Blue Limit Breaker quest:
Frida 5*+1,
b.Magni 5*+1,
b.Rigard Lv75 4*+18,
b+.Boril 4*+1,
b.Vivica 5* 4.80
Harpoons
Dragon
Bombs
10x Mana 25%
Reasons,
All are very sturdy 5*, or Pseudo 5*, heroes
Rigard, and Vivica, help keep team alive ( especially Vivica defense buff )
Magni fast mana speed, defense buff on caster, and nearby
Frida dispels stolen buffs
By using base Boril between Rigard, and Vivica, we get an interesting counter attack
125% Rigard, Vivica
41.66 % Boril, Magni, Frida - shared damage
Total for team 375%
versus costume Boril
60% Rigard, Vivica
60% Boril, Magni, Frida - shared damage
Total for team 300%
Yeah, shared damage is weird
You can test this with Wilbur, or Gunnar, on Map stages

Tried mono red. Board was awfull, wanted to safe my items and lost Marjanna in the first mobwave. Struggled along with my remaining heroes and managed the final bosses with some caltrops to dispell the stolen attackup and counterattack.
