    I'm 39mil power - No light spirits yet (should have 1 tomorrow) I think that is the ticket - until i get a couple Light 6 sets think i'm stuck on PlagueBringer and MugGiant in quest.
    Check the top 2 replays. They are actually useful for this boss unlike some of the other ones. Sure, they have LB sets, but they're not necessary.

    Note: it's tougher now because Ahmose damage reduction has been dropped to 55%. Saffron might be a better choice since her reduction is 60%. Boost up Maria's magic attack to compensate (and make sure you have a high preciseness rune on her).

    I wouldn't go by the replays. In most post-patch replays, the lower-power kills are achieved using Khan, which most people don't have yet. However, I did manage to achieve my first kill within 5 attempts under 30M power using:

    Herja Calvin XXX
    QueenP Adam Main
    XXX XXX XXX

    Sub: Ahmose

    This is not going to work if you are leveling up all your weapons/armor equally.

    I had Level 30+ armor on Ahmose, using Burliness to boost his phys defense at around 21k.

    You want your highest weapons and spirits on Adam, then Queen P. My weapons/spirits were 60+/50+ on Adam and 50+/40+ on Queen P, all LBs. I only had 2 LB sets at the time of this fight.

    The keys are: your main must survive long enough until the boss kills him. Otherwise, your Ahmose is toast before rampart goes up. Second, your Adam needs to do enough damage to wipe out mobs in about 4 rounds. Your Ahmose can survive at max 3 rounds. Not only do you need high damage on your Adam, you need to have high crit. Not getting enough crits was the primary reason I failed on previous attempts. Also helps if Adam has enough dodge/hp/block to survive and deal damage on additional round after Ahmose is down. Third, your Ahmose needs to survive around 3 rounds. This means he needs high dodge, block, resilience, and physical defense. You will need some dodges and blocks, just defense is not enough. Lastly, your Queen P needs to be able to have more HP than the boss can damage her, and she also needs to deal more damage than she takes. Also, she needs enough resilience to be uncrittable. At least Dex 8.

    Good luck!

    Like I said, the replays for PlagueBringer HR are relevant, unlike many others. None of those replays use Khan. 2nd and 3rd do use a pre-nerfed Ahmose, but replay one uses Saffron. And yes, these low power records are set by people with much higher power coming back to do these fights, but anyone that beat Veleno should be able to beat Plaguebringer with one of those formations.

    Keeping boss from skill attacking is key. If you have enough firepower to take down the guards to will break, then do that. If not, go flavius if you have a good enough tank and healing.

    Give that one a try, it can be done with the lowest power. It will work in less tries than any of the replays.

    What are you talking about? Replays 2 and 3 are identical to what you are proposing. Isn't the 3rd replay yours? Yelhsa, instead of Yelsha? And Neriya uses the blue will break guy, but technically is identical formation. We are talking about the HR boss immediately after Veleno, no?

    OK I just watched those replays.. and yes the 3rd replay is mine.

    I should've watched those first before posting... now I feel silly. But yes, I am advocating the 2nd/3rd replay, my first post on this page can be taken as additional details for what is needed to make that formation work.

    Yelsha - I did try your formation - and its a good one! BUT.... lol - i still don't have ANY light spirits (getting my 1st one now) Your original post was very detailed as far as the req you used - so thank you for that. I also don't have a very high defense, working on that too Just gonna have to wait for upgrades and do more labs!!!

    This Heroic goes hand in hand with the MudGiant in quest (as the mud gives the remaining matl's for the justice sword/staff) Can't beat him either lol

    Again thanks for all the help posters
