Fiend Hunt Guide — Talos (Wind)

An overview to the Fiend Talos (Wind)

Key Points

  • Level 10 DMG Threshold — 218M.
  • Fiend Stats — 0 DEF & MRES, 100% Wind DMG, 50% Water RES.
  • Optimal Skill Sequence: C1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4.
    • Simply trigger C1 at the start of combat then continually deal damage.
  • The Fiend practically deals no damage, so positioning isn't important this Fiend Hunt. Just make sure to let your entire team take the hit from C1.

Skill Rundown

Maniakos

Trigger: There are 4 or fewer surviving characters on your field.

This Fiend doesn't really do damage, so you don't have to worry about all these debuffs being triggered. You'll have to actively get a teammate killed in order to trigger this skill, and the only benefit is an extra turn against the Fiend.

Doxis

Trigger: Stack 8 chains on any area.

Trigger C1 at the start of the battle, since the chain buff applied to your team will last for the rest of the fight. Make sure to have your entire team take this hit for more chains!

Afterwards, just continually deal damage to the Fiend, since there are no other amplifications coming from it.

Misos Pygm ē

The debuffs here would be scary if this Fiend actually did damage. You can pretty much ignore positioning here and in S2 and S3.

Phobos Pygm ē

Tyrannos

Titanomachia

A team wipe! Your next team then takes the stage as the Fiend loops back to S1 and resets its conditional skills.

Hunting the Fiend

C1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4

This Fiend is as simple as triggering C1 at the start of combat, then dealing damage continuously afterwards. There is no need to worry about surviving the Fiend, because its multipliers are very low.

You can consider sacrificing an ally to trigger C2, giving you one more turn to dish out damage, but that's a minor optimization.

DPS Review

Loen
Levia
Liatris
Eris

Loen (×9 AoE) — With both her costumes having 3 turn cooldowns, Loen can simply alternate between her buff costume and her nuke costume and nuke the fiend three times. If you have Celebrity Bunny, you can deal tons of damage at any point in the fight.

Levia (×9 AoE) — Premiere sub DPS for this Fiend Hunt, and Overheat allows her to deal a ton of extra damage. If you're using Overheat, make sure to use her after Loen, so Loen still gets to take advantage of Track and Field Team Captain Levia's vulnerability.

Liatris (×9 AoE) — Best physical DPS for this Fiend Hunt. She applies tons of chains as well.

Eris (×5/×6 AoE) — On top of having less tile coverage, Eris is at a massive disadvantage since the Fiend's only amplification is granting your team more chain stacking. Eris will have to sacrifice a lot of damage to take advantage of the chain buff. Also, Eris cannot reach the weakspot without Zenith.
