The best way to do this is to have each team member KO two founts. These founts must be quickly destroyed by your team, as the more are left alive, the stronger the attack that follows. Upon reaching Overdrive, Hypnos will rise into the air, begin charging a Purple attack marker, and summon eight Wind Mana Founts. Destroying the Left Wing downgrades this attack into Red markers. When fully charged, Hypnos leaps forward and slashes, then returns to his original starting point. There are two Purple action markers (a rectangular one in front of him, and a circular one in the middle of the arena). Hypnos instantly teleports to the edge of the arena, and charges. Destroying Hypnos' Right Hand opens a small safe zone just beneath Hypnos.

When fully charged, it releases a damaging whirlwind. With his right hand, Hypnos charges a Purple circular attack marker with a large radius. These tornadoes last for the rest of the fight and will knock down adventurers on impact, dealing minor damage. Hypnos begins the fight by raising his right hand and creating three small tornados which travel around the map. Although Valentine’s Hildegarde can also fill this role, her Skill 2’s Shield is not sufficient to protect against the hail of Purple marker attacks. Verica’s targeted heal is ideal for bailing out lagging teammates struck by stray Purple markers. Similar to Blades, Lance Force Strikes also cover significant distance and allow Mym to easily escape Hypnos’s clutches.Īstral Raids are by no means a DPS check, so healing is a necessity to outlast the extended timer. With 10 minutes on the clock and multiple opportunities for Transformation, Mym feels right at home. Manually controlling Rena allows the player to properly double-cast Rena’s Skill 1 as well as utilize Blade mobility to get the team clear of Purple markers. Her sister Rena provides support by stacking their Primed Abilities together for increased damage and survivability. Ramona’s Skill 1 is highly valued for its ability to focus down specific body parts. Crucially, Blade Force Strikes quickly close the distance between Hypnos and his wide AOE attacks. Although his Stance cyclings are often interrupted early on, his Crit kit ensures that his neutral game is still strong.
