Harbinger of Death - Swarm Nightmare Best Teams
Free to Play Team
| F2P Team | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Dan Heng
|
 Trailblazer (Ice)
|
 Asta
|
 Natasha
|
Dan Heng can be used as the team's Nemesis since the enemy is weak to Wind. Use the Remembrance Trailblazer and Asta's buffs to increase the damage dealt by Dan Heng.
Firefly Team
| Firefly Team | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Firefly
|
 Fugue
|
 The Dahlia
|
 Lingsha
|
A Super Break team is one of the best teams against the Harbinger of Death. Firefly doesn't deal CRIT DMG, so she won't have a problem annihilating the Juvenile Sting summons without the Nemesis state.
Phainon Team
| Phainon Team | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Phainon
|
 Sunday
|
 Cerydra
|
 Permansor Terrae
|
Phainon is the best Physical DPS to use here thanks to his Enhanced State. Make sure to apply the Nemesis state on him so that he can deal CRIT DMG to enemies.
Anaxa Team
| Hysilens Team | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Anaxa
|
 Cyrene
|
Cerydra
|
Permansor Terrae
|
Anaxa can also be used here as the team's Nemesis. His ability to implant other Weaknesses makes it useful for other characters to chip down the enemy's Toughness bar.
How to Beat Harbinger of Death - Swarm Nightmare
Choose Your DPS as the Nemesis
The Harbinger of Death can summon Juvenile Stings with an additional effect called Rapid Evolution. This prevents your characters from dealing CRIT DMG to the Juvenile Stings.
You can select one character (their summons included), preferrably your Main DPS, as the Nemesis to have them immediately take action and ignore Rapid Evolution when attacking.
Defeat All Juvenile Sting Summons
Prioritize on taking out the Juvenile Stings to have the Harbinger of Death receive more damage.
