Best Path for World 3

The Hunt Path

The Hunt is the best Path for clearing World 3 as it provides plenty of DMG and SPD Blessings which will help quickly break through Gepard's barriers and defeat the enemies that accompany him in the 3 phases.

We recommend collecting enough Hunt Blessings to unlock Resonance Formations Perfect Aim and Bow and Arrow to quickly destroy Gepard's Garrison Aura Field during the last 2 phases of the boss fight!

Gepard Enemy Guide

Get Preservation and Remembrance Blessings

If possible, keep an eye out for useful Blessings of Remembrance or Preservation. Being able to weather the odds in the Gepard boss fight Phase 3 by tanking their DMG or freezing them will help further smooth out the fight.

List of All Paths

Collect The Doctor's Robe and Faith Bond Curios

Curio	Effect
The Doctor's Robe	Upon entering battle, regenerates Path Resonance to max and increases Path Resonance DMG by 40%.
Sealing Wax of The Hunt	Randomly gains 1 Blessing of Hunt after obtaining this Curio. When choosing your Blessings after winning a battle, there is a greatly increased chance for Blessings of The Hunt to appear.

Look out for The Doctor's Robe Curio so that your Path Resonance will deal more DMG against Gepard and the adds. You should also get the Sealing Wax of The Hunt Curio to increase the chances of obtaining Blessings of The Hunt!

List of All Curios

Best Characters for World 3

Character	Merits
Argenti	Argenti is a great DPS for World 3 because most of the elite enemies have Physical Weaknesses. He can easily deal damage to multiple enemies using his abilities, which is useful when fighting Gepard and the Silvermane Guards with him.
Hanya	Since most enemies have Physical Weaknesses, Hanya can be used as a support for World 3. She can restore Skill Points using the Burden debuff. Also, Hanya can boost an ally's ATK and SPD with her Ultimate.
Clara	Physical Weakness is prevalent in World 3, especially during the boss fight. Clara can tank the DMG before counterattacking and inflicting Weakness Break on them.
Sushang	Sushang is similar to Seele in that she can grant herself extra turns in a cycle, making a fantastic DPS choice for World 3.
Acheron	Acheron's main damage source is her Ultimate and you have to stack her Talent to use it. It can be stacked by applying debuffs to enemies. With this, you have to surround her with Nihility characters and others who have a debuff in their kit.
Jing Yuan	A lot of the enemies in World 3 notably have Lightning Weakness. Jing Yuan's strong AoE abilities can easily Weakness Break enemies with his Lightning attacks. His Lightning Lord also deals tons of DMG!
Serval	Without Jing Yuan, Serval is the next best Lightning DPS character for World 3 since her AoE attacks are also useful against the enemies in this stage.
Bailu	Bailu can still heal through any content so far in-game. Also, her basic ATK can help break shields for enemies with Lightning Weakness when not healing.
Yanqing	Lots of the trash mobs and Gepard's soldiers have Ice Weakness. As the only Ice DPS character, Yanqing can lock them down with Frozen status and burst them down.
Pela	Pela is a viable support for World 3 since most elite enemies are weak to Ice. Her Ultimate deals Ice DMG to all enemies and decreases their DEF.
Imbibitor Lunae	Dan Heng - Imbibitor Lunae is a great Imaginary DPS for single Target and AoE DMG. He is viable for World 3 since most enemies are weak to Imaginary.
Dr. Ratio	Dr. Ratio is an Imaginary DPS who excels in single target damage. He is a solid DPS to use in World 3 since he is great against Bosses due to his strong Follow-up attacks. Also, he can deal more DMG if enemies have debuffs.
Welt	Allows the DPS characters to have more time to dish out more DMG by inflicting the Slow status on enemies.
Luocha	Luocha is a great character for World 3 since he can easily keep the team alive with his abilities. Luocha can also remove enemy buffs and contribute to breaking shields for enemies with Imaginary Weakness.
Aventurine	Aventurine can be a solo sustainer for World 3 since he can shield everyone with his Skill. With Aventurine being an offense-oriented Preservation character, he can also help the DPS defeat Gepard and his Silvermane Lieteunants using his Ultimate and follow-up attacks.
Silver Wolf	Silver Wolf, can apply an Elemental Weakness to enemies using her Skill, allowing certain comps to work if you add her to the team.
Seele	Seele is one of the best DPS for World 3 only if Silver Wolf is part of the team. Make sure to pair her up with buffers to further increase her DMG.
Kafka	Kafka is a DoT damage dealer and she is viable for World 3 since most enemies are weak to Lightning. She is best paired with DoT characters to maximize her utility.

How to Beat Gepard - World 3 Boss

Prioritize Gepard's Soldiers

In each phase, Gepard has two soldiers that attack with him and buff him up. Take care of the Soldiers first to minimize DMG taken by using AoE attacks.

Use Path Resonance against Gepard's Shield

For the latter two phases, Gepard will shortly use Garrison Aura Field after a few turns to protect himself and his fellow soldiers. Only use your Path Resonance: The Hunt after Gepard uses the ability to deal a massive chunk of DMG to Gepard's shield immediately.
