In the boss battle of Chapter 21 of the new hope of the Goddess of Victory, many players have been defeated, so everyone generally agrees that this level is very difficult. The mechanism of the level not only tests the players' understanding of the game mechanics but also requires good teamwork. To pass the boss in Chapter 21 of the new hope of the Goddess of Victory, remember that there are two extremely tricky challenges in this battle. As long as you master these challenges, you can quickly clear the level.
Firstly, in this level, a large number of monsters will rush out after the boss opens its shield. They are numerous and come fiercely. If these small monsters are not cleared in time, when the second wave of monsters appears, the situation will become extremely passive, and may even trigger the boss's one-shot skill. However, if you have Dorothy, who is a capable assistant, her ability to clear monsters is quite good. Therefore, for team members, it is essential to choose a character with good AoE damage. The second challenge is the elite monsters in the second phase of the boss, which can deal fatal blows to the team once they get the chance.
Facing such a situation, it is recommended to bring a taunt tool person to attract the enemy's attention, creating an output environment for teammates. It should be noted that at this stage, only Divine Punishment can effectively clear the minions. In comparison, Red Lotus's ultimate skill does negligible damage to the minions, unable to inflict substantial harm on the enemies. Therefore, all the minions must be cleared before they attack, or else you can only watch your teammates being one-shotted. Secondly, you can cleverly time it so that just as the boss summons the minions, Divine Punishment starts its ultimate skill, using this opportunity to clear all the minions.
After mastering the challenges, note that at the beginning of the battle, the boss will throw a bunch of missiles. Players can use machine guns to hit them one by one. Of course, if the player's combat power is high enough, they can choose to directly withstand it. About 15 seconds later, the boss will summon a bunch of minions. A few seconds later, the boss itself will activate invincibility, and the minions will be protected by a shield that only takes 1 point of damage per hit, making it much harder to clear the minions. Moreover, as long as any minion exists, the boss's invincible shield will persist. Even worse, about 10 seconds after the first wave of minions, a second wave will appear, and the boss and the minions will buff each other's damage, forming a vicious cycle. If the first wave of minions is not cleared in time, it is very likely to lead to a wipe here.
When the minions are cleared, the boss will launch a full-team crushing attack. Fortunately, this attack will also clear all the minions on the field. However, due to the damage buff given to the boss by the minions, if the field is not cleared in advance, players are likely to be one-shotted. This requires players to react quickly when the minions appear. After about 1 minute, the boss will summon a wave of mid-boss-level monsters. They will retreat after dealing a round of damage. Their attacks are very powerful, and if the players' combat power is suppressed, it is very easy to wipe.
When facing this situation, players can try using taunt strategies or dodge through flexible operations, also known as "twisting." However, because this wave of attacks lasts a long time, successfully dodging is quite difficult, with a relatively low probability. But as long as no one dies, there is a chance to continue the fight. Once the boss's core is destroyed, the boss will no longer have a damage buff. At this point, if the player's combat power is sufficient, they can directly destroy the core at the start, and the subsequent battle can be set to auto. If the combat power is insufficient, it is necessary to save AoE skills or use machine guns to clear the minions.
In the later stages of the battle, it will be a cycle of minions and larger monsters appearing, until around 30 seconds remain, when the boss will add a full-screen AoE skill. It may be released randomly or not at all. Under normal circumstances, players rarely see it, but if it does appear, it usually results in a wipe. Therefore, players need to have a deep understanding of the boss's skill mechanics. During the battle, there is also a critical time node to pay attention to, which is the high-pressure moment in the middle.
At this time, the 19-layer passive of the Crown card will play a crucial role. When the enemy flashes red, players should fire immediately to activate the passive. This passive effect is very powerful, not only providing taunt but also granting invincibility to the players. However, this also requires players to have confidence in their combat power. It is recommended to challenge after updating the combat power. When the combat power reaches 60W, the success rate will be higher. Of course, whether the Crown's invincibility effect can be fully utilized also depends on the players' damage output or luck.
If the damage is high enough to defeat the boss before the second high-pressure wave, then this challenge will no longer exist. If the damage is insufficient, extra caution is needed. It is particularly important to note that the second high-pressure wave mentioned earlier is different from the first. The first high-pressure wave is almost impossible to counter and can only be endured. The second high-pressure wave refers to the wave after the first one, following the missile barrage. This wave will continuously spawn two waves of minions. If the burst skill is interrupted, it will inevitably lead to casualties, weakening the team's strength.
Therefore, how to pass the boss in Chapter 21 of the new hope of the Goddess of Victory still depends on the actual situation encountered during the battle. As long as everyone keeps exploring and trying, finding the most suitable fighting method and rhythm for themselves, and using the right team, there is a chance to win.
