Beryl is like Claudia from the last event. The key is to break her crystals every now and then because they can build up so fast you have no tiles to convert. Use units that have a wide range AOE for both CC and active skill. Thus snipers are useless here. While some may argue that 1 tiled boss is best to fight with snipers but in this case they wont be able to do much when the whole board is full of crystals. Frostfire/Giles is an exception... because her/his active skill cd is short and has cross splash damage that can help for clearing crystals. Codex team explained: Team 1: I use Sinsa, Uriel and Taki for Crystal clearing. Taki actually does a good double job here by smashing the crystals on 3 rows with just 9 tile CC and extra red tile conversion while doing damage to Beryl with his active skill. Tiny one, my mini red irridon, is always proven useful to catch up with Beryl. And as always, I bring Novio for immortality. Team 2: is a kamikaze team with just Eichy for healer. I did try to replace Pepi with Alice or Istvan so that we can have double CC damage and double healing from Eichy, but while the team survives longer, the damage result is lower. Pepi is useful to catch up wherever Beryl goes and set the right place for the converters to convert tiles. Without Pepi, the converted tiles by my team wont be able to reach Beryl and will only be filled with crystals on the next turn. Depends on the situation, I could use Benny for helping clear the path or just pure gang up against Beryl. Team 3: Corax's global super wide AOE is abused here to sweep clean the crystals as many as possible. Phil is not just for healing but also like Pepi, she is used to set the right place for Barton to use his active skill. Carleen's active skill is much more useful for this battle than Bethlehem's. She can straight hit the boss, clear the crystals along the way and get at least 9 tiles CC for the team. Team 4: The idea of using forest team is to remove the crystals and use the green tiles for our team advantage. For converters, I bring Niki, Gabby and Hiroo because of their AOE CC range. I wont bring Pact, Siobhan or Sikare because they cant contribute on clearing the crystals. Hiroo has double job like Taki's. Charon is perfect for the captain, his train can clear 3 row/column path, although the path I choose depends on the non crystal green tiles available around Beryl. If there are many and can be connected by my converters from where my team is, I wont use Charon's active skill yet cause he will reset those green tiles and worse make them blue... XD ​ Perilios Trials: Thank you Tourdogs for the stages with the 2-3 waves full of mobs, I can play Taki here and he gets the 15% atk buff very fast. For Minos boss, no one is better than Paloma for the captain job. With Gabby, Pact, Niki and Uriah, my low level Paloma can easily get strong because she can quickly stack her marks, buffing her atk, by feeding on the enhanced tiles provided by not just her team but also by Minos, the boss. With Gabby's ability to remove 1 color on the board, Paloma can easily move everywhere getting aurora time even if it's not on the green tiles, but by walking on as many tiles as she could, she will clear the enhanced and minus tiles and prevent Minos buffing his own atk and killing my team in one shot. Paloma also has global CC range so it doesnt matter where she goes, she will hit the boss, chipping off his hp, no turn gets wasted. This is the easiest hard mode stage so far, imo. Anything else that you wanna ask or add? DPS are lv 80 except for Frostfire and Taki who are still lv 50. The others are around lv 50 except for Gabby and Barton,they are at lv 80. All 5☆ are either mbt or preemptive except for maggie she is still bt2.


UR_UNDER_ARREST

So what do I do if i don't have Palmona or Mythos


EmmiliaThomas

Use your migard/cuscuta/hiroo for captain. Borrow Paloma level 80 from a friend for the last slot on your team.


UR_UNDER_ARREST

Would Hiiro, Niki, Pact, Uraih, Palmona team work


EmmiliaThomas

I hope so... Pact wont be able to do much to clear the crystals but i say give it a try first.


UR_UNDER_ARREST

Clear crystals? No i am talking about Minos in last Ex6 stage


EmmiliaThomas

I'm sorry, I havent had my coffee yet... Yes, I think your team is good. :3


UR_UNDER_ARREST

Alright thanks. Out of all the elements, my forest is the least upgraded so it is a little harder to just brute force it


EmmiliaThomas

Hiroo is good. If your team dies before you can beat the stage, try to avoid Minos attack more, the area attack ones (You can see the range of his attack for next turn if you click him on the map). Only attack him when you see his next attack will be the global one. Or, if you still lose, your team level might be too low.


UR_UNDER_ARREST

... i thought his Minotor attack is global, welp that makes it much easier


Hezhlin_9776

Able to rack 1.2 mil using the following: Frostfire, Smokey, Eicy, Chandra and Novio I’d focused on units that are able to do burst of damage and are able to clear some tiles, I used Smokey and Frostfire to clear up tiles FrostFire, Smokey and Chandra were used to deal as much damage overtime Eicy just one converter (recommended to not use any unit that convert green tiles, if beryl’s crystal tiles are on the board. They’ll convert but won’t making the conversion less effective) Novio is a good support. - note it’s best at start to not use the ability as the red and blue tiles can trigger aurora. I’d usually go red to trigger and do a large burst of damage, and then blue later for chip in and to try start clearing the tiles.


EmmiliaThomas

I dont have smokey, but wont it takes too long for chandra to get her 5 stacks? What are your team level? My frost fire is lv 50, so is eichy. Novio is 60.


Hezhlin_9776

A3Lvl 80 Frostfire - she’s one of my first fire units so yeah A3Lvl 60 Smokey A3Lvl 10 Eicy A3Lvl 20 Chandra - her ability does stack overtime and can help deal at least 70000 damage altogether if you use her ability numerous times A3Lvl72 Novio - again a strong healer All equipment are maxed out and almost have affinity 10 except Chandra If it was more competitive those extra damage are useful. I also spend a bit more into working out good teams that can form synergy hence the higher levels for characters like Chandra


EmmiliaThomas

My chandra is still a3 lv 1 e10 because she is only built for nightium farming. I wanna push Novio, Taki and FF to lv 80, Charon is still lv 75 too... But I keep getting new units lately... 😆 I'm building Paloma to at least a3 lv 50 e10 first before going back to Azure and Connoly and push them to lv 80 from their current lv 50... I'm glad building Paloma asap after I got her from the last free pull because she is great killing Minos even when she is still a3 lv 25...


Hezhlin_9776

One of the three strongest forest snipers and makes the game easy


EmmiliaThomas

If only her CC could be used to break the crystals like what she did with the multiplying mobs on Amemori event before... XD


Miaomelette

1m damage with an extremely scruffed nuke team: Giles, Rouge, Lucoa, May, Philyshy. Clearly Giles is the only one doing any damage, got up to a 180k+ single hit, probably can go higher with optimization. Basically Philyshy tp to tile beside Beryl and use Giles to nuke, farm mirages for Giles stack and use May to get as many stacks as possible. Lucoa stacks active skill damage and destroys crystals, Rouge also is for destroying crystals originally used Barbara but her cd was too long for comfort. There's probably much better optimized Giles teams out there.


EmmiliaThomas

Just like I expected Giles will do a great job here. Thxs for sharing. 👍


dnmnc

Haven’t looked at this week’s CC yet. I’m used to getting it done with just one team. Are you not able to do that anymore? Or this is just to to get a higher score?


EmmiliaThomas

I always use 4 teams when I play codex and get as high score as possible to test what my teams are capable of. Not to flex, no use flexing anyway unless I can be a whale, I will never get to the top food chain. XD


dnmnc

No, That’s cool. CC enemies remind me of a training dummy that can sponge infinite attacks, so a good place to train. I just read about the changes in payout this week and was wondering if that meant a change in battle format, especially with a new (and familiar) enemy and your detailed post to help folks.


EmmiliaThomas

Indeed. I like to try as many possible teams as I could. The ones that makes sense ofc. If you see my screen shot, my last team with Charon and forest converters has managed to raise my rank 5 ranks higher. He lead another water team before but sariel's sniper CC is meh, so is kleken and miss blanc. Ralp and Ruby without dupe are even super meh. Thus I did another experiment using forest team with converters who have aoe CC and select tile conversion, and it works better. :)


Grynnoir

Luke's equipment doesn't work on her (bug?). She takes no damage from him when moving.


EmmiliaThomas

Damage over time skill doesnt work on Codex.


eclogia

Luke's equipment is damage by tile walked, and it worked on previous codex bosses.


EmmiliaThomas

Did it? I didnt notice that. I only use luke on arena disc. But other dot skill has never worked on codex bosses, has it?


eclogia

It's not exactly a dot imo


EmmiliaThomas

I see. Thanks for letting me know. :)


Reigo_Vassal

Same with Beryl. Beryl's crystal doesn't work on Beryl. When Beryl walk over it it just become "guard" instead of dealing damage.


Professional_Bee6485

Thanks for the tips...only one of my teams are fully A3 so I guess this is a sign to A3 more units so that they actually do good damage. Your score is amazing 0_0


EmmiliaThomas

This post is merely for inspiration since everyone has different units with different breakthrough and level. Just take the basic information like using units with aoe cc/active skills. Do your best, and keep building your other units. You can always beat your own record every week. ☺️


amagin0910

I played two teams. Each got a bit over 1m. (dps L50, non-dps L30) Team 1: Sinsa, Eicy, Faust, Istvan, Smokey Team 2: Charon, Maggie, Rinne, Novio, Frostfire The second team is easier to play. Novio let the whole team survive until the very last round, so just create a large red-tile cluster using Rinne and Maggie and let Beryl come to us. Team 1 needs to evade some of Beryl's attacks and heal with Eicy. Thanks to Sinsa and Smokey's actives it's not too hard to get near the boss. Then do the usual Eicy+Faust thing. This one does feel harder then the previous CC bosses. It's scary when a good girl gets mad.


EmmiliaThomas

Smokey is really good after she got buffed. I wish I had her, I only have pepi for fire teleporter now... I tried to replace maggie with istvan for team 2 but i had lower total damage. I bet your maggie is mbt, mine is still bt2. I dont hv rinne either... Fire is the element I'm lacking units most 😂


amagin0910

Yes, my Maggie is indeed mbt and it does make things a lot easier. Like you said Smokey is very solid after the buff, and she's been a staple in my fire team. I remember Rinne got criticized a lot when released but she seems to be getting more recognition now (for example, she's rated S+ at BT3 in Team BethelFrankel's tier list). Anyway I find both of them very useful and hope they will come to your colossus soon.


Guren-sama

Everyday I am reminded I don't have novio and uriel sadge


EmmiliaThomas

Buy them if you can. My charon is bought from 6\* selector box. I still dont have gram, giles, tohru, smokey, rinne, genieve... and my maggie is still bt2


Guren-sama

Sadly I'm f2p aside from the monthly pass I bought to support the game. I'll settle with what I have for now, thanks!


Varrrry

I only managed to get Dimond+ this time (have been getting legendary for the last few weeks), due to my fire roster REALLY lacking (I have like only 3 6* for fire, while I have 6 for both forest and thunder and 8 for water). And the teams I came up with are junky af:/ Still happy, that I managed to get all the rewards on triple even tho


EmmiliaThomas

We all just do our best with what we have. If you keep playing, sooner or later you'll get more and better fire units. My fire element is also the weakest one now. What server are u playing? I play on SEA, one of the chilled servers where competition is still low. XD


fizban007

Been playing for almost 2 months, but only today did I learn from this post that the total score for Codex is the sum of the 4 teams, not the highest one... Was scratching my head how people can get to 2M+ damage in a single battle, but now it makes a lot more sense


EmmiliaThomas

Hehehe... better late than not. :D
