Throne of the Herald (Dungeon)/Guide: Difference between revisions

Similar to {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}, this Dungeon consists of 3 boss phases, each tailored to a specific Combat Style. There will be a paused screen as soon as you enter the dungeon, and before each phase of the boss, where the player can read the boss's abilities and damage values. Unlike those dungeons, there are significantly less mechanics that dynamically change the amount of damage the boss can do, outside of the returning [[Affliction]]. Due to this it is generally much easier to determine if the player can survive without manual eating; in fact, 2 of the 3 phases are completely idle-able. The third phase has a mechanic that instantly kills the player (by dealing about a million damage) if they fall below 90% {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}}.  

| More damage. {{Skill|Agility|Raft Building}} is not needed as there is already enough HP and DR to idle the first phases.

*Food

**Food choice does not matter for the first 2 enemies, as they can both be safely idled. However, since the {{MonsterIcon|The Herald|final phase}} has an attack which ''will'' one-shot the player if they are below 90% health, a food which can heal to full health in 1 click is highly recommended. {{ItemIcon|Mystic Shark}} or similar.

*Consumable Slot

**The only dps benefitting item which goes in here are {{ItemIcon|Whetstone}}. However, they only affect melee. {{ItemIcon|Blood Vial}} or {{ItemIcon|Portable Rations}} can be used outside of your melee set, but have very little effect.

For all combat styles, use {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}

Here, you will fight {{MonsterIcon|The Herald Phase 1}}. This phase uses {{Skill|Melee}}, so to make best use of the combat triangle, Magic will be the best bet as you can guarantee your safety (With enough food of course).

Using all of the best pieces of equipment, the player will be able to safely idle {{MonsterIcon|The Herald Phase 1}} at max stacks of Affliction and Growing Madness.

Here, you will fight {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}}. This phase uses {{Skill|Magic}}, so to make best use of the combat triangle, Ranged would be ideal. However, since this fight is impossible to idle no matter what, the guide will default to a skill that can simply deal more damage, {{Skill|Magic}}!
