Guides like this are so much more useful when you explain the mechanics of the boss rather than just his team that beat the boss. Giving people options to choose is way more valuable 👍🏻
There is another trick you are not talking about here Hades. If the boss takes a turn she will steal your champ with the highest attack power. So if you can't control the turn meter fully, then get an attack based champion in there that is easy to kill and give them the highest attack power (if you give them low crit rate/dmg you don't take that much damage if they get a turn). Ty to YST for teaching me this one.
Oh, heh, I've been doing that on accident all this time. My problem is that with the champs I use there's one particular clone that has to go down first or it will cause a wipe, so auto doesn't really work for me.
@@nunyabizness6662 I assume you have already killed the baron clone. Parhaps you have a mastery that changes her mind? Would be intesting if I could protect my Ronda from being Banished as she is 70% of my dmg in that fight, and a 100% whipe if she gets taken over.
@@pocketqueens830 thanks I just realized that when running it again tonight. This is a new team I tried to see if it was faster. Ran with Duchess lead, Krisk, Baron, 2x Acrizia. Just realized it must be the Veil. 😂 Sad thing is it’s just about the same time as my normal team, which has zero turn meter control and no max hp damage champs.
omg the help you just gave me on dark fae changed EVERYTHING!! i couldnt kill one of my clones before and it was driving me insane!! i just built a new team of all aoe atk toons and DONE!! i finally beat her !!! thank you !
you are a savior !!!! always i was stoping at astranix cause i couldn't pass her , today i followed you advices , i used SEEKER , Guurda , Ninja , Versulf and Astralon . the first 2 rounds i blocked all the abillities as you recomended and gave it all at the final round and guess what !! it's was like a walk at the park !!! THANK YOU for your help !!
Thanks man! First video that gave my the needed clue "speed tune" aka Arena Team. I had already given up on Dark Fae (lvl 40) but thanks to you I have now beaten her. Here is my team as reference for other early/mid-game players (worked on manual, auto needs testing): 1) High Khatun (SPD = 263) Turnmeter +15%, Increase SPD 2) Ma Shalled (SPD 240) Increase SPD, Increase C DMG, ATK 3) Spirithost (SPD 228) Increase ATK 4) Tayrel (SPD = 222) Decrease DEF 5) Inithwe (SPD = 207) Nuke
Thank you so much. That was an insanely good video, top 3 ever. I manage to pass Dark Fae at level 80 DT hard for the first time in 99 turns. Without your advice I would never have made it, that's for sure. I used the following comp: Ninja, 256 SPD Nekmo Thaar, 242 SPD Ruella, 238 SPD Mausoleum Mage, 232 SPD. Baron, 195 speed All ACC caped except MM and Baron
If you have countess lix shes all you need. She has both aoe turn meter control with decrease speed and active skill block. Have her go first, block the teams skills giving you 2 turns to kill them if needed and on her next go around use her aoe turn meter decrease by then team should be dead, then focus the boss
I was you back in January when I had nothing. but Kael High Khatun Magnar Yakuri Anchorite. Having him In the shield 🛡️ gear Just make sure high Khatun hits her increase speed first then you can auto nuke them
Thx for the guide. One of the troubles I've had with Dark Fae, is that the best champs I have to go against her are in dual (or more) roles. So its been a challenge both to speed tune without breaking their other roles, and making them too squaishy since they need some durability in other content. I've had to compromise in builds and team makeup. The result is that on auto on hard DT, I'm not preventing Dark Fae from taking a turn and the failure rate is high, since the AI will sometimes ignore the mirror copy of my nuke the Dark Fae copies, who then wipes out my team. So for now I usually manual some of the fight, until I can get a good devoted team for it.
HellHades you’re my number 1 go-to content creator that EXPLAINS the mechanics of the boss rather than just picking teams that are good to face her. Instead you explain her actions and how they are initiated or triggered. I struggle with Fae due to lack of speed in my team and tanky types with tons of HPs
I finally, FINALLY beat Dark Fae a few days ago for the first time! I tried every combination of champs I could think of. The one that worked for me was to run Lyssandra in the lead (speed buff and turn meter control), and Madame Serris for the debuffs, Doompriest for the Attack buff, and nuke all the copies with Yannica. Once the copies are gone, Dark Fae herself isn't all that hard. So the trick is to speed tune your team so that turn meter control goes first, then buffers/debuffers, then your nuker. And make sure you go into team setup to have your team open with the skills you want, and also make sure they don't use those skills in round 2.
Great Advice! I was able to beat Dark Fae after probably 10 attempts with various team configs. I ultimately won with: Deacon, Apothecary, Stag Knight, Ninja and Venomage. Thank you!!!!!
Hi! just wanted to see if i am doing something wrong with the optimiser. I just pulled Cupidus, leveled him to 60 and and max acended him. When i go into the optimiser, press champions, find the character i want and press optimise it wants me to use the sliders (stats) manually before optimising. This does not always happen and it starts to search for gear directly. Hopefully this makes sense.
If you use balanced mode, you need to set priority stats. If you select the damage mode, you don't need to do that. If you are using the brute force mode then you also need to set priorities.
@@willhotson8937 i usally use the "improved brute force" and sometimes i get the sliders and sometimes i dont. if i pick one champion and brute force i get sliders but if i pick another i dont get sliders and it starts searching immediately
Thank you! This and Ayumi websites dark fae champion tier list are what helped me finally figure this boss out! Really AOE Nuke and good turn meter and speed reduction champions are the key. Visix the Unbowed and Rathalos Blademaster were necessities to my team then I used Big Un, Fylja, and Spirit Host as my Aura lead. Rathalos is a god their nuke then I just don’t let Fae get a turn with turn and speed reduction.
I just set up Lady KImi lead Kael, Alure Ninja and Genbo. Got the Fae in 1:41. I made sure their attack all went first except Alure who I wanted her A1 to go first.
A lot more gear intensive and not as accessible as bombs, vogoth, or solo teams. You need high resist, a reduce accuracy consistently champ, and then very slowly kill the boss. If you want to clear normal and some of hard, going the Templar from campaign to solo route is probably easier.
Gigantic shields or unkillable/block damage with maybe some skill cooldowns reduction (Painkeepers,Renegade). I use Demytha and Vogoth, but if you don't have Vogoth, put shielder instead. Aoe damage reducers also help - Geomancer,Venomage etc.
@HH you forgot a free Lego for turn meter drop. Rhazin Scarhide. Dude is a beast. I set him with low def, high speed and accuracy. A1 and a2 on the waves and open with a3 for the boss. The rest of my team is ninja, apo, deac and sinesha. Apo boosts tm, followed by deac for turn meter as well. Then Dec def from Deac. Then sinesha A1 double hits clear the clones giving ninja a2 for the boss. Dark fae rarely gets chance to damage the team. Even if any damage happens sinesha in life steal helps with her a3. What's your opinion on this team??
Great advice. I used Visix for the turn meter trickery, Yakarl and Ninja as freezers, Oboro cause she hits hard and revives and High Khatun because why not, lol...also I guess extra speed trickery.
An alternative is having a team that can clear the clones fast, block heals, heal my team, and cleanse debuffs. The main issue is after clearing the clones, Dark Fae takes my nuker then places fear, which usually kills my team or severely drops my success rate. I run Mashalled, harima, lanakis, stag knight and doom priest. Doom priest is clutch because she cleanses the fear, which allows my team to casually deal with the boss. The block heals will prevent dark fae from healing and passive healing/leach to keep the team healthy. This worked for level 80 hard. My TM control team isn't very well built so I am depending on this in the meantime.
Thanks! The lightbulb went off for me hearing the mechanics. Def needed to do it manually. Previously I was using good turn meter champs but too tanky and recommended champs like Yakarl. All along I just needed Genbo witg high khatun to boost turn meter. Nuked everyone but high khatun but kept her under comtrol using Armiger and Alure. Had Reliquary tender to get through the waves. Warning dont try this with Sun Wukong. He self revives because Dark Fae is still there and keeps reving lol
thanks for this video. It has helped me figure out that i need better gear for everyone in my team... so maybe i am too weak and bin geared to beat this boss yet. Any good ideas for best gear up places? I have been working with guides for this fight and not getting through.
Can use a HP or Def nuker and a decoy attack champ if you have trouble w/ keeping her turn meter down. I don't have great speed gear so I have to use 2 Alures (1 in relentless), +2 fully ascended Tomb Lord (A1 slow) and Lyssandra to keep her turn meter down on lvl 120. That just leaves 1 nuker. Been using a +1 Rae b/c she can strip buffs and nukes but it means the fights are long and fear is a problem b/c my resists aren't great. Decent RNG and it's fairly consistent... just longer than I'd like. I can auto 120 fairly consistently although most times I'll manual the first part of round 3.
I'm running a "no lego" team that works on auto all the way up to hard 120. It's Deacon, double Alure, Dark Elhain and an ogryn rare that has a single target freeze. Make the ogryn the fastest champ, block his a2 on the boss wave, the enemy ogryn places freeze on Deacon and Elhain instantly nukes the enemy team AND places dec speed on the boss. After that it's Alure tm control and the rest just wearing down the boss ^^ the waves are also pretty fast since you don't have to block any abilities because Dark Elhains passive will be up anyway for the boss :) The only AI settings necessary are Alures only a1 on the boss and ogryn rare block a2 on the boss
I see, so the 2 Alure are faster than dark fae, which speeds do you put on them? like 251 and 252? And Pounder is faster than the double Alure @@herzchenbambi
I win every time as long as my Deacon and Big "Un have their A3s good. That's my key. The rest of my team (Duchess, Alure, Kael) aren't critical to me. I've sat on Holsring for a year. (I let Ash's hating on him keep him in my vault until someday I can focus on niche roles.) I have fragments for Yakarl and Dark Kael right now but am waiting for a champ chase to open them. Are these events only held during fusions?
How do you make a guide for this and not mention the Banish skil. I'm not just upset with you but I have yet to see any CC mention this. This skill is the only reason I can't defeat dark fae😢. I so disappointed in the CCs I watched HH, Ash, Odd1. Still have to check out Deadwood. Deadwood don't let me down please 😢 17:00
I would add an honourable mention for one of the best turn meter manipulators in the game 3nd only to Lysandra/Alure imo, Lady kimi. I also use Fenax as dual use for his opening in final wave A2 block buffs + block active skills A3 dec spd and dec def then just smacks like a truck with his A1. Gnishak, Lysandra, Deacon (no Alure on account yet) are the other champs 120 hard.
HH you forgot one of the best TM control in the game, a fusion, Morrigane. She did similar to lyssandra, +20% TM, -20% TM and increase speed, plus a almost guaranteed dec speed on A1. In a 112 base speed, easy to build for this boss. With her you don't need decreease speed and you could have only TM manipulator champions. really great for this content but also forgotten because she is a fusion not so popular
Honestly one of the best ones to nuke that people probably over look is grohak the bloodied. He fills his tm by 20% per crit on his a2 then steels tm on his a3 and has dec speed on his a1
finally beat Fae 120 Normal for the first time! got carried by none other than Artak! i got the idea after seeing one of the top teams used Artak, Hephraak and Drexthar i brought Artak, Drexthar, Lord Champfort, Shamael and Archmage Hellmut. Hellmut and Shamael allowed me to quickly control and kill off my clones. In the end i was left with a tanky Champfort and immortal set Artak. Champfort was the Abduction target and Artak was dealing enough damage to bring him back in time. took 85 turns. not too shabby.
I use. Visix(opening aoe/provoke), madam(def/atk down) Ninja (aoe/freeze) gets feared, Alure(aoe a2), salad (fear/aoe). Ninja gets switched. Visix (dec turn), madam (a2), salad (a3). The "bad" Ninja is dead by then. the pre-programmed attack goes into auto with alure/visix doing all A1s to control turn meter, and the DPS(ninja salad) just going ham on the boss.
I use lyssandra, hurndig, deacon , alure and Big un. Big un is unsurprisingly awesome at splatting the waves, but also has speed down and tm down for the boss. might need to switch in rg to help with damage.
I use tramaria for aoe stun plus turn meter fill and nuke with georgid with turn meter drop. Allure cold heart and lyssandra for the remaining of the boss
Really useful video for those that actually have the champs, to make such a setup. That Boss is so annoying and sadly, my champs aren't enough to beat it but, anyway, thanks for this video.
As as new player, I finally built a team that can full auto DF on normal. Deacon, Apoth, Attack up champ, and then nuker. Apoth speeds up and TM, deacon drops their TM and decreases def. Attack up champ pops 50% attack, then nuker wipes the whole team and then I have the boss to deal with. Happy I got it because I want that higher Lethal gear asap.
I have beaten the last stage normal dark fae. I used : -DEACON ARMSTRONG as a leader, so he can use the turn meter control at the start so the team can move on. -ROYAL GUARD as a damage dealer, he got a reflex gear to use his takedown more often and instantly kill opponent deacon at the start. (with a crit of course) He can also reduce speed on the boss with his A3. -KAELto nuke the rest that are still alive. -SEEKER to fill the turn meter often for the team. Mine is still level 50 but full book and ZERO masteries. Can also provoke, just in case enemy royal guard wants to wipe my team. -COLDHEART for her nuke heartseeker and strongly reduce the boss turn meter. (also heal reduction because the boss can put leech on our team) I had to play on manual, because it's a very precise thing to do.
Hurndig in Stun Set or Relentless is crazy for a nuker in this set up. I set my run up with Lyssandra into Deacon, into Scyl of the Drakes, because her A-1 and A-2 are crucial for the waves and for the carbon copies of your champs and her A-1 helps Scyl lock down the Dark Fae.. Hurndig bringS stuns and more turn meter control with his A-3 and then if you have Yummeko or someone else who has turn meter and / or crowd control into Hurndig. Hurndigs A3 will drop the dark phase turn m as well as your waves plus I picked the mastery that has turn meter drop by 20 percent from the first hit on his A1
After I watched your video and got some team arrangement help from a very sweet follower of my channel, I was FINALLY able to beat the Dark Fae. Thank you for all your helpful pages and videos
Informative video as alway, I just wish more teams would be shown and not just the best in slot teams. Yes we may have one or 2 of the best in slot teams for for example it'd be great if a CC swapped Alure for Ruella in these teams to show if she'd actually work or not. Edit: I'd think the best in slot teams are known & it'd be nice to see the likes of Ruella, Fylja to name a couple other perceived options.
Deacon is the one champs that just made Fae so much easier to do. I finally got an auto team that I can farm her without really doing anything anymore. Took me till I was lv 100 to get him. But so worth it now
Dark Fae final boss normal team was Rae, Deliana, Royal Guard, Archmage Helmut and Scyle of the drakes. A1 first two waves with all champs. then auto after that with me targeting the ones i wanted to kill first. 92 turns. yes i know im slow but its a win
Deacon is my mvp here. I am f2p. He bringst turnmeter decrease and the most important thing. Leech. So my coldheart etc can gain hp throught their attacks. I am not fast enough to keep Dark fae from getting turns but my team can heal back up. I got a 70% farm team. That is good enough for me ATM.
I'm a Big fan of your channel. I've have done everything you said about the dark fae and I'm still not beating her I'm sorry. But I can't even with two aluras
100% Dark Fae team: Siphi, Seer, Acrizia, Hephrak and Visix. Siphi A2 and Seer A3 on hole until boss round. All else on auto. 100% Dark Fae kill on Hard DT120
I forgot how good Alure was for turn meter control on the boss. Thanks for the reminder, putting her in my team now. My team will be (in order) Lyssandra, Royal Guard, Hurndig, Alure, Deacon Armstrong. Tell me what you think guys and girls, any tips would be great.
Seems great, you work it on manual or auto? For me, i struggled a lot with fae, but after u learned how to approach her, my Main mvp's for her became gnishak (one of the Best fusions imo) and yakarl, make yakarl go first, freeze the whole Team, lay bombs with gnishak, the rest i feel is quiet open to choose, Just take Champs who will clear the waves before the Boss... Tho tbh i feel like yakarl alone can hard carry fae, stopping the whole Team in their tracks and giving a extra turn, beeing a champ which is quiet easly got from the Clan Shop
It's worth thinking that even if the affinity part of Faes kit isn't relevant, making sure the nuker isn't bad affinity for anyone on your team is important. Also, I actually replaced Lyssandra on my team with Nekmo Thar. He's very good for it. Also also, Tuhak is very underrated for this. Void affinity nuker with spd- and some TM decrease.
You need to have a shield champ that can keep a shield up the whole fight. You also want someone is a shield set so that your team starts with a shield before the first turn. You need someone that can keep the bosses turn meter down (a fast Allure is awesome for this). It also helps to have a decrease speed champ and a destroy max hp if possible as that brings the shield down. The 2 most important things, always have a shield up when you hit the boss, and don’t let the boss take a turn. Valk or Lodric are good as shield champs. Allure is best for turn meter, just have her A1 the boss the whole time.
I've been really frustrated with the Dark Fae and Coldheart. Despite all the draws I've done I've yet to land a Coldheart. As for Yvette Dark Fae, I still haven't been able to crack her. If My champions aren't survivable enough, they die to the waves. If they are, the clones grind my team down.
allly atack idea Frahaken and the sisters (Idr name but Aoe A1 used in Arena) with 2 TM champs. Could work but my sisters are still lvl50 anyone use this style team and if so is it a good idea?
What is with so many dark fae videos not showing Morrigaine anyway? Baby Lissandra that was a fusion so you'd think she'd be on the tongue for the avg player.

Thx for the guide. One of the troubles I've had with Dark Fae, is that the best champs I have to go against her are in dual (or more) roles.

Sleeping on countess lix for this fight. Lockout on your team, tm dropage, Dec speed, weaken a1, and helps reset cooldowns
What about her passive? Debuff your opponents gives her TM

I don't have great speed gear so I have to use 2 Alures (1 in relentless), +2 fully ascended Tomb Lord (A1 slow) and Lyssandra to keep her turn meter down on lvl 120. That just leaves 1 nuker. Been using a +1 Rae b/c she can strip buffs and nukes but it means the fights are long and fear is a problem b/c my resists aren't great. Decent RNG and it's fairly consistent... just longer than I'd like. I can auto 120 fairly consistently although most times I'll manual the first part of round 3.
I'm running a "no lego" team that works on auto all the way up to hard 120. It's Deacon, double Alure, Dark Elhain and an ogryn rare that has a single target freeze. Make the ogryn the fastest champ, block his a2 on the boss wave, the enemy ogryn places freeze on Deacon and Elhain instantly nukes the enemy team AND places dec speed on the boss. After that it's Alure tm control and the rest just wearing down the boss ^^ the waves are also pretty fast since you don't have to block any abilities because Dark Elhains passive will be up anyway for the boss :) The only AI settings necessary are Alures only a1 on the boss and ogryn rare block a2 on the boss
Do you have an issue if Dark Fae banishes Dark Elhain?
@@quintale8952 The dark fae doesn't get a turn so she can't banish anyone :D
I see, so the 2 Alure are faster than dark fae, which speeds do you put on them? like 251 and 252? And Pounder is faster than the double Alure @@herzchenbambi
@@quintale8952 I have the Alures at 290 and 273 and Pounder at 296
I win every time as long as my Deacon and Big "Un have their A3s good. That's my key. The rest of my team (Duchess, Alure, Kael) aren't critical to me. I've sat on Holsring for a year. (I let Ash's hating on him keep him in my vault until someday I can focus on niche roles.) I have fragments for Yakarl and Dark Kael right now but am waiting for a champ chase to open them. Are these events only held during fusions?
Thanks Hell Hades. Do you have example teams you can show us now?
The composition is the hard part.
Can Rares and EPICs do the job?
How do you make a guide for this and not mention the Banish skil. I'm not just upset with you but I have yet to see any CC mention this. This skill is the only reason I can't defeat dark fae😢. I so disappointed in the CCs I watched HH, Ash, Odd1. Still have to check out Deadwood. Deadwood don't let me down please 😢 17:00
I would add an honourable mention for one of the best turn meter manipulators in the game 3nd only to Lysandra/Alure imo, Lady kimi. I also use Fenax as dual use for his opening in final wave A2 block buffs + block active skills A3 dec spd and dec def then just smacks like a truck with his A1. Gnishak, Lysandra, Deacon (no Alure on account yet) are the other champs 120 hard.
Yeah had kimi on my list thought I had already mentioned her…
HH you forgot one of the best TM control in the game, a fusion, Morrigane. She did similar to lyssandra, +20% TM, -20% TM and increase speed, plus a almost guaranteed dec speed on A1. In a 112 base speed, easy to build for this boss. With her you don't need decreease speed and you could have only TM manipulator champions. really great for this content but also forgotten because she is a fusion not so popular
😎👍
I beat her today thanks to this video. Thank you
Honestly one of the best ones to nuke that people probably over look is grohak the bloodied. He fills his tm by 20% per crit on his a2 then steels tm on his a3 and has dec speed on his a1
Ah yes, that's a good option I was forgetting about! I even have him in my Vault!! Thanks man!!
@@ragingfishstik8802 np. I recently started using him and figured others have him too and just don’t think about him
Is he one of the later free login champs?
finally beat Fae 120 Normal for the first time!
got carried by none other than Artak!
i got the idea after seeing one of the top teams used Artak, Hephraak and Drexthar
i brought Artak, Drexthar, Lord Champfort, Shamael and Archmage Hellmut.
Hellmut and Shamael allowed me to quickly control and kill off my clones.
In the end i was left with a tanky Champfort and immortal set Artak.
Champfort was the Abduction target and Artak was dealing enough damage to bring him back in time.
took 85 turns. not too shabby.
Congrats on 200k 🎉
I use. Visix(opening aoe/provoke), madam(def/atk down) Ninja (aoe/freeze) gets feared, Alure(aoe a2), salad (fear/aoe). Ninja gets switched. Visix (dec turn), madam (a2), salad (a3). The "bad" Ninja is dead by then. the pre-programmed attack goes into auto with alure/visix doing all A1s to control turn meter, and the DPS(ninja salad) just going ham on the boss.
I use lyssandra, hurndig, deacon , alure and Big un. Big un is unsurprisingly awesome at splatting the waves, but also has speed down and tm down for the boss. might need to switch in rg to help with damage.
I use tramaria for aoe stun plus turn meter fill and nuke with georgid with turn meter drop. Allure cold heart and lyssandra for the remaining of the boss
😎👍
The one thing about Hurndig is that his passive will allow him to skip the queue and get a hit in while you're taking your turns.
Nice and usefull video. But I want to know, who Dark Fae posses as first?
Visix is also really good, AoE provokes, decrease speed and turn meter steal, with the steal being on the a1
Really useful video for those that actually have the champs, to make such a setup. That Boss is so annoying and sadly, my champs aren't enough to beat it but, anyway, thanks for this video.
As as new player, I finally built a team that can full auto DF on normal. Deacon, Apoth, Attack up champ, and then nuker. Apoth speeds up and TM, deacon drops their TM and decreases def. Attack up champ pops 50% attack, then nuker wipes the whole team and then I have the boss to deal with. Happy I got it because I want that higher Lethal gear asap.
I have beaten the last stage normal dark fae. I used :
-DEACON ARMSTRONG as a leader, so he can use the turn meter control at the start so the team can move on.
-ROYAL GUARD as a damage dealer, he got a reflex gear to use his takedown more often and instantly kill opponent deacon at the start. (with a crit of course) He can also reduce speed on the boss with his A3.
-KAELto nuke the rest that are still alive.
-SEEKER to fill the turn meter often for the team. Mine is still level 50 but full book and ZERO masteries. Can also provoke, just in case enemy royal guard wants to wipe my team.
-COLDHEART for her nuke heartseeker and strongly reduce the boss turn meter. (also heal reduction because the boss can put leech on our team)
I had to play on manual, because it's a very precise thing to do.
I just can’t get why if I’m starting the round, why does one of my champs start then their team goes without anymore of mine attwckjng
Hurndig in Stun Set or Relentless is crazy for a nuker in this set up. I set my run up with Lyssandra into Deacon, into Scyl of the Drakes, because her A-1 and A-2 are crucial for the waves and for the carbon copies of your champs and her A-1 helps Scyl lock down the Dark Fae.. Hurndig bringS stuns and more turn meter control with his A-3 and then if you have Yummeko or someone else who has turn meter and / or crowd control into Hurndig. Hurndigs A3 will drop the dark phase turn m as well as your waves plus I picked the mastery that has turn meter drop by 20 percent from the first hit on his A1
Hurndig only drops one champs turn meter, the first one. I use him in this fight
Beat Fae on 2nd try after watching this. Ty very much.
Bless your soul for this video
I love this video. I have a list of viable champs, and notes on how to utilize them. Thanks!
need advice for hard 120 fae..
Kimi and Maneater have solid turnmeter, didn't see them mentioned.
I don't always get to go first. What causes that to happen?
After I watched your video and got some team arrangement help from a very sweet follower of my channel, I was FINALLY able to beat the Dark Fae. Thank you for all your helpful pages and videos
ninja, deacon, mashalled, Candy and dhukk. i also use 2 food and 2 nukers and a drop def. makes the chances of losing minimal
I had Brogni, Tuhanarak, Sepulcher Sentinel and a couple others i forget. Swapped to High Khatun, Kael, Ninja, Magnarr and Visix and took her down.
Razin fusion, litch has an 100 turn meter drop and decrease spd in one move with 3 turn cd
Thanks to this video I was finally able to beat her!!
Thank you for this!
Informative video as alway, I just wish more teams would be shown and not just the best in slot teams. Yes we may have one or 2 of the best in slot teams for for example it'd be great if a CC swapped Alure for Ruella in these teams to show if she'd actually work or not.
Edit: I'd think the best in slot teams are known & it'd be nice to see the likes of Ruella, Fylja to name a couple other perceived options.
What’s a slot team
@@JameGoFast27 "Best in slot team"
Meaning the champions that BEST for a particular SLOT in a team. Learn to read it in context next time.
@@Nathan_Coley u don’t have to be rude I was just wondering what a slot team was…
@@JameGoFast27 Wasn't meant to be rude so I'm sorry if I was. If the words were isolated I'd have understood the question but they weren't.
Deacon is the one champs that just made Fae so much easier to do. I finally got an auto team that I can farm her without really doing anything anymore. Took me till I was lv 100 to get him. But so worth it now
Does the clones get the advantage of your aura as well?
Yes
was rhazin even mentioned?
Did i miss it or did you forgot lady kimi? best Aura, and insanly good turn meter control.
I love these sort of bosses. They are so fun as a new player
I use a speedy team with kimi speed boost and countess lyx block skills . works like a charm
Dark Fae final boss normal team was Rae, Deliana, Royal Guard, Archmage Helmut and Scyle of the drakes. A1 first two waves with all champs. then auto after that with me targeting the ones i wanted to kill first. 92 turns. yes i know im slow but its a win
Razelvarg could be an interesting champ with his speed build up over the first two rounds
I think the new fusion champion with razel would be insane for turn meter control.
It would be a cool challenge to see you try and beat all content using rares but you can’t reuse the same rare in multiple teams
I have Teumesia as an opener on A2. A3 full turnmeter steal. Epic champ on Dark Fae.
This guide was awesome. I ended up beating it after getting my ass kicked multiple times
The best team I came up with was an ally attack comp with royal gaurd 2 alure longbear and sinesha
I used: apothecary, armiger, high khatun, xena, and uugo for floor 40 but the boss is too fast for me at floor 80.
I still don't get it.
Joking, great video! Helped out on the level I was stuck on. Thank you!
Thx HH I tried some many times to pass dark fea. 🎉
Deacon is my mvp here. I am f2p. He bringst
turnmeter decrease and the most important thing. Leech. So my coldheart etc can gain hp throught their attacks. I am not fast enough to keep Dark fae from getting turns but my team can heal back up. I got a 70% farm team. That is good enough for me ATM.
I pulled Holsring and I was so so disappointed since he has terrible ratings; all below 3. Now, maybe I can use him for this fight.
I'm a Big fan of your channel. I've have done everything you said about the dark fae and I'm still not beating her I'm sorry. But I can't even with two aluras
100% Dark Fae team: Siphi, Seer, Acrizia, Hephrak and Visix. Siphi A2 and Seer A3 on hole until boss round. All else on auto. 100% Dark Fae kill on Hard DT120
holy mother of doom tower! Thank you! I guess team power isn't everything:}
Ruella is also good, her dec speed is not that amazing but her A1 is decent.
Broodlords stun goes up to like 80% if they have decrease speed
How come she didn’t banish one of your champions at the start? Or does dark fae just hate me for some reason ?
Ally Attack + a little TM control (or just raw damage) = win
I forgot how good Alure was for turn meter control on the boss. Thanks for the reminder, putting her in my team now. My team will be (in order) Lyssandra, Royal Guard, Hurndig, Alure, Deacon Armstrong. Tell me what you think guys and girls, any tips would be great.
Seems great, you work it on manual or auto?
For me, i struggled a lot with fae, but after u learned how to approach her, my Main mvp's for her became gnishak (one of the Best fusions imo) and yakarl, make yakarl go first, freeze the whole Team, lay bombs with gnishak, the rest i feel is quiet open to choose, Just take Champs who will clear the waves before the Boss... Tho tbh i feel like yakarl alone can hard carry fae, stopping the whole Team in their tracks and giving a extra turn, beeing a champ which is quiet easly got from the Clan Shop
It's worth thinking that even if the affinity part of Faes kit isn't relevant, making sure the nuker isn't bad affinity for anyone on your team is important.
Also, I actually replaced Lyssandra on my team with Nekmo Thar. He's very good for it.
Also also, Tuhak is very underrated for this. Void affinity nuker with spd- and some TM decrease.
My set up is lady kimi warlord allure scyl and last sicia for the nuke
HH knew I was stuck here
Can we get an in depth discussion on the scarab? That one destroys me
Check past videos
You need to have a shield champ that can keep a shield up the whole fight.
You also want someone is a shield set so that your team starts with a shield before the first turn.
You need someone that can keep the bosses turn meter down (a fast Allure is awesome for this).
It also helps to have a decrease speed champ and a destroy max hp if possible as that brings the shield down.
The 2 most important things, always have a shield up when you hit the boss, and don’t let the boss take a turn.
Valk or Lodric are good as shield champs.
Allure is best for turn meter, just have her A1 the boss the whole time.
bloodshield rings from CvC are also good
I've been really frustrated with the Dark Fae and Coldheart. Despite all the draws I've done I've yet to land a Coldheart.
As for Yvette Dark Fae, I still haven't been able to crack her. If My champions aren't survivable enough, they die to the waves. If they are, the clones grind my team down.
allly atack idea Frahaken and the sisters (Idr name but Aoe A1 used in Arena) with 2 TM champs. Could work but my sisters are still lvl50 anyone use this style team and if so is it a good idea?
Necmo is in my team. Increase turn meter, increase speed, leech, dec atk if boss takes turn.
If I had Nekmo, he would be probably in all of my teams :D
@@luckyluke2013 If I’m honest, he’s in 90% of my teams. 100% some of the best guaranteed champ shards I’ve ever used
The team I use is Morrigaine->Deacon->Ronda->Kael, then use Ruella on the boss. Once I can gear Ronda better I'd drop kael for armiger
What is with so many dark fae videos not showing Morrigaine anyway? Baby Lissandra that was a fusion so you'd think she'd be on the tongue for the avg player.
@@pocketqueens830 They also don't almost ever mention Ruella as an Alure substitute 😢
Deacon, double alure, royal guard, ragash full auto working for me (ragash for the nuke and increase speed)
I actually do fine letting fae take turns. I’m use geo, it goes faster
