01Patch-backed test

Post-patch bruiser

Best for: Dense waves and active frontline pressure

Core decisions

  • Crushing Blow: trigger requirement 5 → 4
  • Ground Slam: 9 → 7

Stat order

  1. Max HP
  2. Attack Speed
  3. Armor up to the 85% melee cap
How to verify

Compare both target uptime and first-death time; a faster approach is useless if it shortens the run.

02Cross-checked direction

Area pressure

Best for: Farming routes with compact packs

Core decisions

  • Use the shorter Ground Slam cycle
  • Let a ranged partner cover stragglers

Stat order

  1. Attack Speed
  2. Max HP
  3. Movement only if target uptime still breaks
How to verify

Count complete slam cycles per wave and include reset time in the sample.

Avoid these traps

  • Relying on pre-v1.01.00 tier rankings
  • Overcapping physical reduction beyond 85%
