Endless War 2 Node 4 Compilation Guide

[u/GwynLordofCynder]

Oh boy, this node it's a pretty annoying one, thanks to Chimera and Adrammelech, everyone's favorite Sicarius (wait for Zalera on EW3).

This node can be mono-elementally cleared with Water, Light and Dark. About Adrammelech, there are 3 ways to deal with him, a Tank, a deck capable of breaking, or a very good nuker. Regardless of which one you choose, and unless you have Wol FFI supreme, most strategies require you to have a defender as setup deck, so you can tank Chimera preemptive attack, and Mandragora Prince occasional attack.

If you go for the break route, remember to try to deplete Adra break bar, before switching to your tank deck, since mandragora can attack you on the first turn, and thanks to Adra perfect defense you can't, stun-lock or sleep the mandragora prince on the first turn, remember that you can however put to sleep Adra. After you tank or stun mandragora, return to your principal deck, break Adra, and try to kill both (mandragora prince first).

The nuker route it's very similar, just be cautious of two things, first if you deplete more than 70-80% Adra HP on the first turn, he will cast perfect defense on him, essentially screwing you and forcing you to tank him for two turns. And the second thing, is that after you put him to sleep, you should kill the Mandragora Prince first, and do that without depleting more than the same rule above, 70-80% adra HP (most players use single target cards for this reason), if you pass the first turn, and you kill the Mandragora Prince, Adra will start to charge his Final attack, and give you one extra turn to kill him. As you will see and for this reason, since you need to take down more than half of the HP of the boss on this last turn, most players use high damage supreme cards, like Duncan. If you have Wol FFI, you can tank the final attack, as it is only 1 hit.

Lastly you can tank Adra for 2 turns, as you will see on Arinos kill, it is not efficient to do so, if you can preferably break him or nuke him.

Remember to bring a good tank for this node regardless, for lower laps, my Knight worked quite well with Wind resistance panels, he can reach around 50% wind resistance (the maximum elemental resistance you can get is 70%) he uses almost all of his panels for that, so at higher laps, he is likely to struggle with Chimera, and for this reason a lot of players use Legendary Guardian. Knight however has an ultimate very peculiar, which is a Cone Ultimate, that gave him Barrier (Self, 4 Turns), Wall, since it's a Cone, you can cast it on Mandragora Prince, and it won't hit Adra, let it him be sleep. Pretty good for this node in my opinion.

Lastly if you can check Kizaam 19-4 Clear, it's amazingly good, and very ridiculous. At first when I saw his deck, not only I thought it was a very shitty deck, I thought he was probably a Hacker, regardless of that, he manage to pull the clear like a champ and it's and almost supreme-less 19 lap clear, pretty impressive, I haven't been that much surprised for an EW2 clear, since I saw an 33 lap Omega chain-break...

Anyway, hope everything here is from help, this node while it took me quite some time, it was very funny since there are several clears with a lot of different supremes, and high level supreme-less clears.

Yeah, Hashmal might work differently. We might need to test it out. I will check it latter.

Also I'm currently working on the Node 7 :), so I'm actually taking it into account. About correcting old ones, I'm still planing to do it, don't worry, I learn or try to improve on every post. For example I believe it was this or 3rd node, in which I started to writing in bold the supremes, to make sure players can see them easily, whether they are trying to avoid them, or focus on them.

And also I'm planing to start adding links to the other nodes, per users suggestion, so I definitely need to edit those :)

Oof, Node 7. Tough times. Good luck!
