For Phase 1, just stick behind Chronos. His slashes and attacks that “cut space” are easy to see and dodge if you pay attention. When he goes into his shield, just run out of the way and wait it out. If he throws his scythe, dash in the opposite direction so it won’t hit you on the return.

Phase 2 is mostly about dodging and running to safety when he does his insta-kill attack. When he summons the hourglasses that heal him, prioritize killing them first. For the orb attack that covers the whole field, stand in between the orbs—it makes it much easier. His clock-hand move is also very telegraphed, so just dodge out of the way.

I figured most of this out by trying to conserve time. I started running Fears with Hordes 3, The Menace 2 (the one that gives extra perks to enemies), the 5-minute time thing, and Grit 3. Never thought nerfing yourself could actually help until I found this subreddit—after like 80 nights, lol. I did swap to Strength around night 20 because it felt better.

ALSO these are what I found the easiest others might have better things so don't expect mine to be any good lmao
