Bit of a helpful tip, Nightingale's cages count as units being deployed on a tile so you can use them to keep the front-most furnace from deactivating while they're alive.
Thank you for the non-Goldenglow run. It is kinda annoying when she is used without no replacement options. She is not common for everyone, and is not in the shop until August, so there is no reason to assume everyone has her imo
- No ifrit tile here, she can't lit the furnaces in an instant and more likely to get CCed. - Always let ur furrnace closest to blue box get lit, so that ur dpses can light up remaining furnaces (0:51), if all furnaces are unlit, u are more likely to lose! - Kill as much elite as possible before Harold appear (at 1:32) due to his aoe healing - If u wanna stall, make sure that the furnace he target is lit over and over again everytime he extinguish it, just like kristen boss. - It is advised to spawncamp him (or kill him away from the 3 furnaces on the right), otherwise, be prepared to relit all the extinguished furnaces when he reach phase 2, since the closer he is to blue box, the more furnaces he shut down! Example: Killing Harold first phase at the left of Leon's eyja result in his icy shockwave extinguishing all home base furnaces, which means game over. - Stalling in phase 2 is far far worse, not only do u have to relit 2 furnaces, u have to ensure as much furnaces are lit as possible when Harold execute the global range "snowball mortar" attack. Number of mortar hit will be *equal to number of unlit furnace plus one* . The snowball mortar is magic, so Nightingale is a thing. => Try to time properly when u wanna attempt to quarter Harold hp bar in phase 2. He always did "Snowball mortar" total of 3 times, even in ex (3:24,3:36 and 3:48) - Hurting Harold is fairly simple and straightforward: lit all the furnaces before starting all ur dps skills against him, but holding ur frontline defense against his constant attempt of *aoe spam, furnace shutdown (meaning shield layer regeneration)* is a REAL challenge! - Some of u ( prob. even Leon ) think Harold charging mortar + all furnaces lit is safe. *It's not* . Even an unlit furnace during his charging animation will increase his instances of mortar shot, vice versa. In short, *Harold mortar ammo does NOT snapshot.* - Harold is scared of *both true n elemental* dmg.
Replaced Lumen with Whisperain, Nightingale with Ptilopsis, and Saria with Nearl. (I don't have NG and Saria. Lumen isn't built.) Worked well and the auto-deploy is very stable. Thanks!
