One final hit completes the mission. It will be better to have an option of choosing difficulty level.
Proper way will be to use fighter for bosses without minions.
For succubus queen, I think you get about 5 seconds to kill her before you get safeguard effect debuff, which reduces damage dealt to her. Safeguard can stack 3 times, and 1 layer is removed every minute. You need to change camera angle to look at her since she will fly 1 minute and dodge her meteor attacks. Then when she lands try to debuff her with spinning uppercut and death mark while staying alive. Try do deal damage but it will be 5 to 15 times lower depending on Safeguard debuff on you and your debuffs on her. She will spam snap cast ice spear. I assume you can deal her full damage after 3 minutes. So you can use Safeguard debuff time to get ready with battlefield overture and bone dragon chip.
I had to record a video to capture 45 sec finish since the captured image ticks to 1 minute
Oh I didn't know that! Thank you for this info! I've gotten worried before, plenty of times, thinking I was not killing the monsters fast enough. I guess I didn't really need to kill them at all! ^ ^
It appears that score depends only on your total time for mission completion. So killing monsters fast when you can will give you higher score.
I was stuck on last two dan tests, namely, charge and magnum(human). So I am happy to see more dan tests becoming available. I also finished all talents to grandmaster level.
My total level will be 45 k soon. Festia scores other than single cobblermeister posted below are more than 6 months old since I was trying to get only single festia wing each time.
The key to score in the Dan tests is to repeatedly use the Dan test skill. What counts as score is shown as a pop up message on left side.
If you are having problem with non-life skill Dan tests then start with either smash or magnum test depending on if you are human/giant or elf. To score, you have to mindlessly spam smash or magnum respectively. Dan tests for crash shot, windmill, and assault shot are even easier. As we use these skills often we can perform better in these Dan tests.
Our first instinct is to try to kill monsters as in game. However, for Dan test you need to worry only about spamming the tested skill. Try not to use any other skill as they do not score (very little for kill) unless it is support skill. For example, use snapcast for magic tests or windmill for assault slash. Keep firing single fire bolt through out the fire bolt test, use snap cast for crystals, big sprites and golem bosses.
Do not worry about death as there is only 10 sec penalty and you get full hp back. So pick hp pots only if they are right next to you.
With each Dan level the monsters get harder, and the requirements get higher. Use busiest channel on server to delay monster agro,
You keep your skill ranks for Dan tests. For Dan 3 tests make sure to rank up all supporting skills to maximum level (e.g.. magic mastery, magic weapon mastery, bolt mastery, fire mastery and snapcast for fire bolt). So it is helpful to get, for example, Dan 3 smash, assault slash and windmill before attempting Dan 3 combat mastery to score sufficient damage. You will do 15-30% extra damage from rank 1 to Dan 3. Spamming Dan 3 windmill on big groups is a fast way to score for Dan 3 combat mastery.
Try to reach last wave with 30+ seconds left as using the skill on boss scores about 3 times faster. It is a must to get SS grade. This should get you high score even with lag. You can probably try to score approximately 2 k per minute for first 4 minutes and 6 k in the last minute for a total score of 8+6=14 k.
You need 2 S grades for Dan 2 (scores over 9 k) and 3 SS grades for Dan 3 (scores over 12 k). If you are going to pass with A grade (score over 6/7/8 k) but not going to reach the required score to advance then you may want to exit before time runs out and give the test again.
Once you get used to a Dan test technique then move on to the other less familiar tests. Hope this helps.
Update :
Since too many people are complaining about Dan 3 fire bolt, here is a proper method. It works almost every time.
You can score on golem boss 3 times as fast. You can score at 4 k per minute rate. So you should be somewhere between score of 0 at 2 minutes and score of 4 k at 3 minutes by the time you reach Golem boss. Then attack each boss Golem with snap cast-fire bolt followed by single charge fire bolt to reach neat 10.5 k. You will get a bonus of about 1500 taking your score over 12 k.
You can accomplish this by using fusion bolt on first three spawns since it has 3 to 5 times as much damage compared to fire bolt. Use snap cast-fire bolt when available. Try to use ice-lightning fusion at he start of first spawn and fire-lighting fusion bolt at the start of second spawn on bunched up monsters to kill 4 or more monsters with 4 charges. Usually someone will attack you if you try to charge 5th fusion bolt. In third spawn, attack three big sprites first. Use 4 charges of fusion fire-ice followed by snap cast-fire bolt and all three will probably die. Then spam single fire-lightning fusion bolt or 5 charge ice-fire fusion bolt and single fire bolt to kill the rest of the spawn.
If you happen to get any crystal near deadly state, then you can charge snap cast, melee hit to kill the crystal and then charge fire bolt. You will immediately get second snap cast-fire bolt because of reset after crystal. This is particularly useful for third spawn where you can quickly eliminate two big sprites with two consecutive snap cast-fire bolts that do more damage in less time than fusion bolt. . .
Difference between Eweca Red Upgrade Stone of Protection and Eweca Red Upgrade Stone is very subtle. You need to read the description to make sure that you are getting stone of protection. Appearance wise they look identical. So people need to be very careful while trading for Eweca Red Upgrade Stone of Protection.
Same goes for Ladeca Blue Upgrade Stone of Protection vs Ladeca Blue Upgrade Stone.
