Path of Darkness Best Teams
Best F2P Team
| Recommended Characters | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Trailblazer
|
 Serval
|
 Yukong
|
 Natasha
|
Since most of the enemies in this cavern are weak to Lightning and Physical, It's best you bring Trailblazer and Serval to your party.
Trailblazer will be your main DPS against the Auromaton Spectral Envoy using their single-target ultimate. Serval will be the sub-DPS to make it easier for you to clear out your enemies with her AoE.
Yukong will help with buffing your DPS' damage while lowering the boss' Toughness with her attacks. Natasha will provide heals to your party and, at the same time, cleanse the debuffs that the boss inflicts.
DoT-AoE Ultimate Spam Team
| Recommended Characters | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Kafka
|
 Luka
|
 Luocha
 Lynx
|
 Tingyun
 Huohuo
|
Since the enemies in this cavern are weak against Lightning, you can use Kafka as the main DPS for this encounter. She can also make full use of the Special Mechanism as she can refill her energy fast and spam ultimates.
Bring Luka as your sub-dps, as not only does he have good synergy with Kafka with his DoT, majority of the enemies are also weak to Physical.
For the healer role, Luocha is a great addition to the party as he can passively heal his allies and cleanse their debuffs at the same time. If you don't have Luocha, you can use Lynx instead, as she can also cleanse everyone with her ultimate.
If you want to make use of the Special Mechanism, it's advised to bring either Tingyun or Huohuo. Both of these characters can raise your party's energy, allowing you to spam Ultimates and take advantage of the Action Forward.
Clara Follow-Up Attack Team
| Recommended Characters | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Clara
|
 Topaz
|
Tingyun
|
Lynx
|
A team that funnels all ATK and Energy buffs into Clara, increasing her Counter-Attack damage and allowing her to charge her Ultimate faster to make full use of the Special Mechanism. Topaz is a good sub-dps for Clara as she can increase the DMG follow-up attacks.
We use Lynx as the healer as she can heal and cleanse debuffs and, at the same time, increase Clara's likelihood of being attacked. Tingyun's Skill and Ultimate will help boost both Clara's ATK and energy recharge.
Funnel all ATK or Energy buffs into Clara to increase her Counter-Attack damage and help charge her Ultimate faster. It's required to either have a healer or a shielder to keep Clara and the party alive. Lynx can heal Clara with her Skill and increase her chances of getting hit.
How to Beat Path of Darkness
Spam Ultimates for Action Forward
Try using characters with less energy requirements for their ultimates or characters that can regenerate energy easily for your team. This will allow you to make full use of the Special Mechanism, allowing you to get as many turns as possible and advance their Action Forward.
How to Gain Energy for Ultimates
Defeat the Dragonfish First
Try to always target the Illumination Dragonfish first, as upon the monster's defeat, it will deal fire damage to all of its allies and be able to reduce their DEF at the same time.
Illumination Dragonfish Enemy Guide
Cleanse Debuff to Avoid Heaven's Fall
Try to cleanse your allies when they get inflicted by Strong Reverberation, as this will force the Aurumaton Spectral Envoy to use a high-damaging skill called Heaven's Fall on them.
Since it will take two stacks of Reverberation to apply the stronger version of the debuff, you can cleanse the first stack to avoid this from happening.
