How to Beat Dreamless Hologram

The Tactical Hologram Challenge for Dreamless, especially Stage 6, can be classified into three phases depending on whether the boss was staggered or not.

  1. Phase 1 (Standard Dreamless)
  2. Looming Turmoil State
  3. Twilight Eve
  4. Phase 2 (Faster Dreamless)
  5. Phase 3 (Enraged Dreamless)

There are also a few key mechanics to watch out for when fighting Dreamless. First, she has multiple weapons in her arsenal that she can use to modify her combos. Second, you can deflect her summoned Halberds back towards her to reduce her HP and Vibration Strength. And third, her attacks evolve as the fight goes on.

Make sure to also bring a dedicated healer and use Tune Break to interrupt its attacks and avoid being downed by Dreamless.

Understand Dreamless' Weapon Arsenal

Weapon Description and How to Combat
Halberd
Dreamless summons a Halberd and shoots projectile in a straight line. Deflect the attack once you see the black and white flash.
Sword
Dreamless summons a sword and then attacks in rapid succession. Dodge all the swings as these are rarely parry opportunities.
Scythe
Dreamless summons a scythe and swings it around to deal large AoE attacks. The attacks are often telegraphed with long windup animations and can often be parried.
Wings
Dreamless flails its wings and body to swing herself around to perform spinning attacks. Dodge once you see the wings glow red at the tips.
Explosions
Dreamless generates explosions to deal AoE attacks. Dodge once you see the black and white flash.
Vectors of Ruin
Dreamless summons Vectors of Ruin during the Looming Turmoil state to fire multiple small projectiles in succession. Dodge and strafe alongside the edges of the arena.

Dreamless has a multitude of weapons that she utilizes to fight you in combat. First, she has a longsword that she places on her left hand to slice you in quick succession. Then, she has a scythe in her right hand that has longer windup animations, but has larger AoE attacks.

She also has her Halberds of Destruction that she can summon to hurl at you, and her Wings are used in spinning moves that slam on the ground. Lastly, she manipulates the arena, letting her cause explosions and her Vectors of Ruins are projectiles she summons during the Looming Turmoil state.

Each weapon has different utilities to her and have distinct indicators for you to use against Dreamless.

Deflect Halberds Back to Dreamless

The next special mechanic with Dreamless is her Halberd summons. These Halberds of Destruction appear from void rifts and rapidly hurl themselves at you. They can be deflected and are great for interrupting Dreamless while also reducing her HP and Vibration Strength.

Short flashes of light surrounding the Halberds appear to indicate when they'll come at you. Anticipate for a black and white flash then attack to parry and deflect the projectile.

How to Parry and Counterattack

Dreamless' Attacks Evolve

First Stage Evolved Stage

The attacks of Tactical Hologram: Dreamless evolve as the fight continues on, and she adds additional moves to her attack patterns. This occurs regardless of the current phase the challenge is in.

▼ Dreamless Attack Patterns and Sequences ▼

Looming Turmoil State After First Stagger

Once Dreamless' Vibration Strength is depleted for the first time in battle, she enters the Looming Turmoil state and summons multiple Halberds and Vectors of Ruin at you. These attacks can be deflected back at Dreamless to prevent it from summoning Twilight Eve.

This also initiates Phase Two, where Dreamless' attacks become fiercer and harder to deal with.

▼ Dreamless Phase 2 Attacks and Moves ▼

Twilight Eve Mechanic

If Dreamless is in the Looming Turmoil state, she builds up energy to summon Twilight Eve. This mechanic begins with a large black hole on the ground followed by large purple spheres behind Dreamless. These purple spheres continuously release Vectors of Ruin projectiles.

Dreamless Burns Red After Second Stagger

Phase 3
Dreamless glows red after her Vibration Strength is depleted a second time, or if her HP is reduced to around 30%. This indicates Phase 3 has started, with new attack patterns and moves as the boss is enraged.

▼ Dreamless Phase 3 Attacks and Moves ▼

Big Gravity Pull and Explosion in Phase 3

In the third Phase, Dreamless also blinks to the center of the arena and pulls everything towards her. Afterwards, an explosion covering the entire arena happens.

Phase 1 Attacks and Moves

Dreamless follows multiple attack patterns that change as the fight progresses. These attacks evolve into extended versions and can chain together. The sequences also appear across all phases, so you can expect Dreamless to use them in both Phase 2 and Phase 3.

Gravity Pull

Gravity Pull Attack Information

Gravity Pull: Dreamless pulls you towards it before summoning a halberd from the sky. The halberd quickly descends into the ground, causing the entire area around you to burst. Dodge once the halberd appears and a faint circle flashes from it.

Take note that this attack changes throughout the fight, as Dreamless summons more and more Halberds during the attack.

Spin Throw

Spin Throw Attack Information

Spin Throw: Dreamless spins vertically at you before going up in the sky and throwing a halberd at you. Once the light and dark particles disappear, dodge or parry the halberd.

Vertical Wing Slashes

Vertical Wing Slashes: Dreamless goes up in the air before spinning around using its wings to deal AoE attacks around you. Dodge once towards Dreamless as the tips of the wings glow red.

Aerial Slashes

There is another variation to this move wherein she throws a Wing Projectile at you after the initial Wing Slash.

Dodge once Dreamless pulls back the scythe, dodge another time once her silhouette glows white as she goes up, and dodge once black light surrounds her body for the two succeeding scythe spins.

Afterwards, she flies up into the air before coming back down to slash you with the scythe once, followed by two sword slashes. Then, she deals a charged Sword attack before going to the other side of the arena to generate a more powerful Sword slash and an explosion after.

For the regular slashes, dodge as the swings make their halfway point. As for the black sword slash, anticipate the screen to flash white light, with the same going for the explosion that comes after.

Double Explosion

Small Explosion Attack Information

Double Explosion: Dreamless gathers up energy before causing a small explosion around herself. Dodge as a star-shaped black light appears.

After a short while, another explosion appears that you can dodge in the same manner.

Afterwards, she summons her halberd and spins before throwing it at you. Dodge as each swing reaches its midway point for her sword and scythe moves, then dodge when her halberd generates a circular light. Lastly, deflect the halberd once no light particles are left.

Sword Throw

Void Rift Eyes

Void Rift Eyes Attack Information

Void Rift Eyes: Dreamless summons multiple Void Rifts behind her that connect to each other, making two eye shapes. After a few seconds, she'll summon all of her Halberds to attack you at once. Make sure to dodge this attack as white light flashes the screen.

Center Explosion

Center Explosion Attack Information

Center Explosion: Dreamless teleports to the center of the map and pulls everyone in. Afterwards, she generates an explosion covering the entire arena. Dodge as the white light flashes from the orb above her.

Have a Dedicated Healer and Use Items

Revival Item
As Stage 6 of Tactical Hologram: Dreamless features the boss at Lvl. 100, a majority of its attacks can deplete your health quickly or even one-shot you. As such, we suggest bringing a dedicated healer to the team. Some characters even have revives, like Shorekeeper and Verina at higher sequences.

In Tactical Hologram: Synchronization, you're allowed to use revival items to keep the entire team in commission. Make sure to use them whenever possible, as these have cooldowns when you consume them.

List of All Healer Characters

Use Tune Break During Major Attacks

The Tune Break mechanic is highly useful in disrupting the flow of battle. Use it when Dreamless begins its attack animation to slow down the pace and stop its attack. Tune Breaks also reduce Vibration Strength, making it useful for downing Dreamless faster.

Tune Break Explained

Best Team Comps

Tune Rupture Team

Character / Role Echo Set
Wuthering Waves - AemeathAemeath
(Main DPS)
Wuthering Waves - LynaeLynae
(Sub-DPS)
Wuthering Waves - MornyeMornye
(Support)

Aemeath's Tune Rupture team is one of the best comps to use against Dreamless due to her high damage output and consistent Tune Breaks that interrupt the boss effectively. That said, any general team with the Tune Break core of Lynae and Mornye works, as long as the DPS is non-Havoc.

Tune Break Explained:

Sun and Moon Team

Character / Role Echo Set
Wuthering Waves - AugustaAugusta
(Main DPS)
Wuthering Waves - IunoIuno
(Sub-DPS)
Wuthering Waves - ShorekeeperShorekeeper
(Support)

The Sun and Moon team is one of the best team comps to use against Dreamless, as both Augusta and Iuno provide high DMG outputs on top of having great survivability and utility with their heals, shields, and time stop. Just make sure to deflect Dreamless' projectiles to have an easier time against the boss.

Aero Erosion Team

Character / Role Echo Set
Wuthering Waves - CartethyiaCartethyia
(Main DPS)
Wuthering Waves - CiacconaCiaccona
(Sub-DPS)
Wuthering Waves - ChisaChisa
(Support)

Character Explanation
Wuthering Waves - Rover (Aero)Rover (Aero) Support Replacement for Chisa

Aero Rover is a great alternative to Chisa, as they provide the same benefit of increasing the max Aero Erosion stack limit. Rover can be a bit clunky to play against the boss, however, so keep that in mind when executing rotations.

The Aero Erosion team with Cartethyia as the Main DPS is one of the best teams to use against the Dreamless Hologram, as her attacks have a lot of AoE that can parry Dreamless' projectiles.
