The 6★ Archetype that Forever Changed Casters

H12-3 Casters only
In a world where everything casterknights has become DuskStima spam, I've actually had fun with this one.
This clear has a lot of small technicalities; I couldnt go over all of them in the captions, and it would take me too long to explain how the 4th clone skip works, so I left it for the description:
To put it simple, while Damazti is stuck in its 9-second long drone skill animation, it cannot use any other of its skills: this includes the skill they do at 50% hp of phase 2, where they go invulnerable for 20 seconds and morb one of your ops. The way we get to phase 2, we couldnt possibly deal with another invulnerability window, so instead we opt to burst the boss down in that 9 second window during the drone skill: to optmizie doing so, we bring the boss to as close as we can to 50% hp in the 50 seconds leading to the skill, without actually going over, and line everything up to deal the last 50% of the boss's hp during said window; this equates to dealing around 90k damage to the boss in 9 seconds.

That boss DPS setup is glorious. Too bad Durin couldn't participate :(

[@ArachnoParadox]

awesome video krys arknights, however i think you couldve used mint instead of carnelian to washing machine the bosses which makes them dizzy and fall down, dying instantly

[@mmmjhtz]

34cost is too hard,you can't deploy Mostima and Dusk twice.The tiles of BOSS first death is amazing,he can't attack operators.And I like your solution of kill BOSS.Eyjafjalla,Mostima and Carnelian attacked all the BOSS at the same time,and you use his skill time to kill him. 4:22

Incredible clear! Can’t believe that this stage is possible with only casters

[@pathalenvivaldi7811]

Durin carrying hard as usual.

[@frozensnowcone7735]

Absolutely beautiful, what an awesome set up to take out the boss 🔥

[@JustSick_forever]

5:03 kill is glorious 😩😩😩

[@arabbitwhocanuseinternet9657]

Ejya and goldenglow are still the best units till today and can be used at any stage

[@enrichment3797]

Amazing clear as always 🎉

How 0 sanity runs looks like

[@PlatinumKrown]

A casterknight player would be the best person to ask. 1. Should I E2 and mod Mostima (and possible go for masteries, I avoid that unless it's necessary because of the cost)? 2. Should I spark Dusk on the next Sui banner, whenever that happens?
Also well done, I'm still in ch. 8 so anything in 12 looks crazy. I appreciated the little notes for what you were doing as it went.

[@Krys_ak]

It's hard to tell without knowing your available roster in full; I'd imagine there's probably better things you could be doing, and Mostima without being fully invested is pretty meh. I wouldn't spark Dusk either unless you REALLY like her, I think the community doesnt give her enough credit, but at the same time she requires a lot of work to be effective

[@PlatinumKrown]

@@Krys_ak My go to casters right now are Module'd Eyja (working on masteries), E2 Ifrit, and E2 GG. I have Mostima and Passenger (and Eben, and Ho'ol) at E0 right now. Dusk, I just like her design, but I've heard she's just OK even with full investment. Thanks for responding though.

[@Khroniclas]
