[Master Discussion] - Mirages of Omega (Limit Breaker) Quest - Guide, Sharing & Discussion

[dawnsempires]

i think i’m in a minority of players who doesn’t like Bjorn, but plenty do, so i can’t say he’d 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 “elite enemies”, pending the outcome of this thread:

[SOLVED] Monster in Mirages of Omega doesn't count as elite in Path of Valor

I just realize that monster in Mirages of Omega count as elite in today Path of Valor quest after I finish the last stage of Mirages of Omega for about 3 hours. They are somehow not elite since you don’t see the “supernova” animation when they die. But they should be elite since they have skill. [image] [image]

[PlayForFun]

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.

@Ruskin505

I used mono dark on the early levels thinking that I would benefit from the buffs

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 bosses’ 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 wasn’t 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 won’t help us today, sadly. Guess I’ll 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.

All Elite mobs

Figured there had to be a Valhalla stage with elite mobs, but was too lazy to go looking. Many thanks.

Speaking of them, I can’t chase gnomes if I don’t see them…
Man…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 form…
Must be some kind of bug but I also think if the gnomes don’t appear, might be better to take them out of the game so that players don’t feel scammed.

That’s a known issue. There’s a post about it somewhere on here. Supposedly, the loot isn’t affected; it’s 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

Click for shared damage and Wilbur

@Gryphonknight

With Wilbur’s 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

Mono

@Gryphonknight

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 Ranvir… 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

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.

[Wizardo]

I was able to beat the last lvl, although it wasnt easy.
I payed 75 gems to continue once.

I have used.

Boldstuk-Gormek-Kiril-Frank and Bertulf

Now it’s time to decide if LB Gormek and Boldtusk or it’s better to keep the aethers for Marjana or another future red.

[dansing]

Used this team & no battle item was used in any stage : was a walk thru in all stages…
(forgot to take the actual Mirages pic)

• Gefjon was very useful in removing the one left out almost / half dead enemy & a big whack to each of the bosses!

[leejow]

Went with my mono team and thanks to the buffs and overheal from Garnet i was never in any real problems. Played all levels with the team showed below. Could have kept Marjana alive in the last stage but didn’t wanna wait for the ripostle to wear off think these ethers will go to my Zenobia. Only used 1 small mana potion.

[Kilted]

Team used:

Only items used were some 250hp red pots incase slash attacks picked on Caedmon or Colen and a few antidotes for the burn.

As usual LotL was godmode.

Current red aether situation

2022-Jan Yellow LB Quest

Team, LB Yellow, Team Power 4127

Vivica b.5* 4.80,
Boldtusk b^4^75+18,
Boril b^4*+18,
Frida 5*+1,
Wu Kong b^4*+18, ( b^4^75+18, after second to last stage )

b.= base hero, no costume
b+= base hero with costume bonus
b^= base hero with maximum costume bonus
c+= costume and costume bonus
X^Y+Z= Rarity/ Stars X LB Level ^Y Class +Z example b.4^75+18

As a bonus X*+1, or higher, heroes cannot be accidentally used to level another hero

Click for notes

Vivica, and Wu Kong, only did weak normal damage / tile damage / matching damage

But Gambler’s stance, Omniheal, and Meta effects ( holy mana generation buff and holy dodge buff ) all worked well together especially holy mana generation buff + Omniheal

After second to last stage, raised base, and costume, Wu Kong to Level 75 ( use loot to get loot )

Boldtusk ( moderate heal and attack buff ), and Boril ( counter attack ), both Pseudo 5* heroes

Frida for Damage to target, and nearby, dispel, solo family bonus ( 1x unique family member on same team )

Carpet Bombing

Carpet bombed last stage

@Gryphonknight

Carpet bombing

Danzaburo 4^85+18

@Noble_Weasel, I decided to use emblems, and aethers, on Danzaburo 4*+1 making him Danzaburo 4^75+18 so Danzaburo will be staying on my war defense teams, and raid defense team

[BlueHair]

My team for the quest:

• D’Andre b.4* 4.70+9. Limit broken before last level but no additional levels yet
• Mist b.4* 4.70+7.
• Wu Kong b^4* 4.70+1
• Rigard c+4* 4.75+20
• Tibertus b.4* 4.70+20

No battle items until the last level where I used 2 time freezes, 5 dragon attacks, 1 dragon banner & 1 miracle scroll.

Mist died in the first wave & Tibertus in the 4th. Miracle scroll at the start of the boss wave. Ended with just D’Andre & Rigard still alive.

[ETA: I think for the very first level, I had Proteus b.4* 4.70+12 in instead of Tibertus. I’d forgotten the mob’s resistance. Switched right after the first level.]

[XpeepantsX]

I used Devana/ JF/ Heimdall/ Elena (cos bonus)/ Lepus

Having a reflector is very beneficial during these quests.

[Blord]

I finished the quest with this team. The battle items weren’t used except for one mana potion. All heroes charge mana very fast. Kinda walk in the park.
