Tactical Holograms - Tips & Tricks To Clear Difficulty VI Challenges
As mentioned, each Tactical Hologram difficulty VI challenges are among the highest possible difficulties that players can fight in order to clear and obtain their rewards. Normally, these difficulty VI challenges require a full team of lv90 Resonators as recommended in order to clear. However, many skilled players who have demonstrated extreme mastery of the game’s combat system have been able to clear these difficulty VI challenges with lv60 or lv70 Resonators only. Therefore, here are some tips and tricks that we can offer for players to be able to challenge these difficulty VI Tactical Holograms.
Use Different Elemental Resonators
As mentioned, each of the Tactical Hologram bosses correspond to an element in the game: Tempest Mephis for Electro, Impermanence Heron for Havoc, Mourning Aix for Spectro and Feilian Beringal for Aero. This means that these bosses will resist some of the elemental damage dealt to them from Resonators of the corresponding element. So in order to challenge these enemies, it is highly recommended that players Do Not use DPS Resonators of the boss’ element in order to maximize the damage output for the DPS Resonator.
Dodge, Parry And Counters
Unlike in general gameplay where players can just simply brute force their way to victory through sheer damage, Tactical Hologram bosses are extremely agile and have an extremely big HP bar with devastating attacks that can one shot your resonators. Therefore, important game mechanics like dodge, parry and counters are extremely crucial for these challenges. Players should learn the Tactical Holograms’ bosses attack patterns and parry patterns and practice Parrying the bosses’ attacks before attempting to challenge the higher difficulty to ensure better chance of victory.
Timing is key in these fights, so players need to be able to learn to dodge, parry and counter at appropriate times in order to quickly deplete the enemies’ toughness bar and make them unable to move and take extra damage from attacks, otherwise most players will not have enough damage to defeat the bosses in time.
Build Your Resonators
The last bit of advice but is extremely simple in nature is that players need to build their Resonators to a satisfactory level in order to fulfill the steep damage output requirements to defeat the bosses on higher difficulty. Nothing is more frustrating than learning the entire boss attacking pattern and being able to completely counter the boss, only to realize that you completely lack the DPS to fell the bosses. So invest in your resonators before attempting these challenges.
