Strategy for Fast Spire Nightmare

Hey you guys, here I layout a strategy for completing Spire Nightmare (NM) more quickly. For newer players this also applies to normal Spire, but eventually that difficulty becomes very trivial to complete. A big thanks to PoisonArrow for telling me about this and suggesting I share/record the trick. Some times great info is floating around quietly for a long time before it gets to us, but we really appreciate it when people share what they know when they find out!

The main problem about Spire NM is how much health the bosses have; if your team’s DPS (damage per second) isn’t up to snuff, you can easily be sitting around for long periods of time.

Player Battle Ratings

In the video (end of the post), I run with two 6 million BR players (left two players of the picture) and two 9+ million BR ones (the two on the right), which is completely overkill in this case. Regardless of your BR, you can use this trick to improve the damage output of your team, but I think to complete Spire NM you probably need a team averaging 6.5-7 Million BR (Patch 5.5 numbers).

Sylphs

You’ll need two sylphs with “Steal”, so Wind or Wind+Water will do. For the other two you probably want your two highest damage dealers to have high power sylphs – Electro, Fire, Electro+Fire, or even Light+Dark will all work well.

Eudaemons

Four players all bringing Wind Rangers is the best setup, or at least as many people with a Wind Ranger as possible. As for any time you want high damage, everyone should equip only Cursed Arrow.

Skill Timing

So with this set up, the Spire run can do as follows:

• Bosses 1-14 kill as fast as possible (business as usual), try to make sure to take out the last bars of bosses 3-5 out in one turn or else for a non-overpowered group, the wind rangers may die later on.
• Make sure by bosses 13-14 you’re building up awakening points.
• At boss 15, after the stun, all players should awaken.
• All players should use Vulcan Wrath to up their damage. Players set up to steal should repeatedly use steal, and players with attack sylphs should use their highest damage skill over and over again.
• After the boss 15 stun, there are no skill or rune cooldowns, so the Wind Rangers will use Cursed Arrow every turn for huge damage bonuses, and the attack sylph players will cast even bigger damage. You need the steals to maintain the team’s awakening points, since those do still decrease.
• If you have a very strong team, you can beat the whole dungeon without the skill cooldowns coming back, but even for a bunch much less overpowered, getting to bosses 22-23 without having to get out of sylph mode is very doable.
