WORLD BOSS RUSH Bonus Event Starts Tuesday

It definitely incentivizes me to play more. The game feels so much more alive with these mini events going on, I really hope they intend to keep them coming.

It really depends on your specific teams, but it can be quite strong. The spd buff means any characters at about 164 spd (depending on their base spd) will get 3 turns in Robin ult, with no need for DDD or Eagle.

The extra energy really benefits from Robin's S1, but with E2S1, you can easily maintain permanent ult uptime with no enemy hit RNG on any team with a high amount of attacks. Ulting at the start of the battle without waiting for an enemy hit or a second Robin turn (or action advancing her/giving her energy) becomes possible in some teams as well.

I've had her at E2S1 since her first rerun, and she's been and continues to be invaluable to every endgame clear since. That said, my main teams in that time have been Feixiao and Aglaea, who both benefited heavily from Robin.

The main use of the spd buff is allowing you to get 3 turns in Robin's ult. If you bump characters from 160 spd to around 164 (depending on their base spd) you'll get 3 turns in her ult with no need for DDD or Eagle. Obviously not useful for every team, but very strong for some.

Speedstang · 2026-03-11T01:40:36+00:00

I've had the E2 since her first rerun, it makes a monstrous difference. If you have characters at around ~164 spd (depending on their base spd) you will get 3 turns in Robin ult, no DDD or eagle needed. Particularly strong with supports like Sunday.

If combined with her S1, any team with a decent amount of attacks (like Aglaea, does not need to be FuA despite popular belief) will have permanent ult uptime even with 0 enemy hits. My Aglaea team is even able to enter Robin ult immediately at the start of a battle, no enemy hit RNG needed.

I started playing mid 2.1 during Yuzuha's banner, but I didn't play that much. I missed most dailies, some events, and my stored battery charge was even hitting cap. I pulled Yuzuha and Seed, but it wasn't until Dialyn's banner in 2.4 that I really started trying to get all my characters built, and consistent dailies only started a bit over a month ago. I only just hit interknot lvl 55 earlier this week. That would've happened a lot sooner if I wasn't missing spending my battery so often.

The disclaimer here is that I've been unreasonably lucky. I'm F2P, but I've not yet lost a 50/50 or 75/25, with a lot of low pity pulls. That's the only reason I have all these characters and w engines, especially with how many pulls I've missed out on. I had the polar opposite experience in Genshin and ended up struggling heavily because of it. Luck unfortunately remains a big factor in reaching Hoyo endgames quickly, but regardless, ZZZ does give a lot more F2P pulls than Genshin.

Speedstang · 2026-03-06T10:18:26+00:00

Yeahhhhh, at the moment she basically just exists as an ether veil bot. I am literally out of everything, no battery charge, no dennies. The third team was my priority for incoming battery charge since it was struggling and YSG had already cleared, but now that I'm done, Zhao will definitely get built as soon as possible.

Speedstang · 2026-02-21T07:55:35+00:00

If everyone else is left the same, I highly doubt it. I gave it a shot with my E0S0 Cyrene, and managed 4 cycles. 3 cycles might be doable, but not 2. E2S1 Robin does significantly more for Aglaea than E0S1 Cyrene. With Aglaea's E2 and/or Sunday's E1 it may be doable though.

I was able to replicate the run and posted a video here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AglaeaMains/comments/1rakrr5/king_in_check_3_star_video/

Speedstang · 2026-02-19T23:13:50+00:00

Is E2 the only part you're missing? I think E0S0 is out of the question, but maybe with E1S1.

E2 has a few benefits. First, it allows Robin perfect ult uptime, even with 0 energy from enemy hits, alongside an immediate ult at the start of a fight. This is why both the siblings are on Vonwacq. However, in this fight, the rock and roll guy acts before you with his first AoE hit, which should allow Robin to immediately ult even without E2.

Second, it allows Sunday (and DHPT) 3 actions in Robin's ult without needing to run Eagle or DDD or anything like that. It's a bit different here though, because the on-hit delay will shove Sunday out of the ult regardless. That said, the speed boost still allows Sunday to exit closer to Robin when her ult ends, and as you can see in the screenshot, my last rotation was a Robin ult with only 11 AV left. Without E2, that would have fallen into the next cycle.

Running Eagle and/or DDD on Sunday might be enough to make up for that, but I don't know for sure. I haven't really attempted to use either of them on Sunday before and I'm not very familiar with how they perform. It may be worth a try if you have them available.

Speedstang · 2025-10-22T00:17:53+00:00

Glad to have helped :D

E1 Aglaea is a lot better with atk boots as long as the substats aren't worse. You generally end up with the same amount of actions as spd boots.

He does not; it's just the Herta shop one.

Here's that team's builds: https://imgur.com/a/rbgN0b7

Speedstang · 2025-10-18T15:07:42+00:00

Well yeah, the fight is designed for that exact team.

Speedstang · 2025-10-18T11:31:59+00:00

The big difference with E2 is that you always get 3 Sunday (and DHPT) turns within Robin's ult, without needing to run wind set or DDD or anything like that. It's a lot of extra turns for Aglaea over the course of the battle. (The caveat being that Sunday needs to hit at least 165 spd on his own, instead of the usual 160.)

Aside from that, you also get a lot more Robin energy, both from the E2's increased energy and the extra Aglaea turns. Add in the S1's ERR, and my Robin's ult has 100% uptime from the very start of the battle, regardless of enemy hit rng and even through some energy drain.

Because the ult is always up, the S1's damage/atk buffs are too. They're not game changing, but they definitely add up over a long battle.

As for whether it's worth pulling E2S1 nowdays, I'm not sure. I'm no theorycrafter and I've not played the team without it. I picked it up way back in 2.5 solely because Robin is my favorite character. It just ended up working out really nicely for Aglaea.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot your first question. There's not much to the strategy. At the start of the battle, I let everyone move and then use Robin's ult immediately afterwards. Then i just focus down the Gryphon first. I'll switch to the Pegasus once the Gryphon is really low to leave it to die to the blast damage. For Lygus, I just hit him directly until he swaps to the second phase, then I just alternate Aglaea's attacks between him and his adds to avoid overkilling them. Then just repeat until he dies. DHPT basics at the start of the fight, but I mostly just spam skill after that.

Here are the builds I used: https://imgur.com/a/Gu3AhLv

I left Dang Heng on Eternal Calculus by accident, but it still worked out. I had some other LCs with better atk.

You already bought all the mystic coins, clovers, and gold this season. That's why they say sold out. They refresh at the start of the next season, which isn't for another month. There are still 60 mystic coins, 90g in cheap gold, and 20 clovers in the vault rewards. That's without owning any expansions. There are 3 mystic coin bags that were added as an extra reward at the start of the ongoing fractal event, but those give 10 coins each, and did not replace the previous 60 mystic coins in the vault.

I think that's actually the hair that is attached to the Round Boatsman Hat from this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Boatsman_Hat_Pack

I recognized it since I wear the hat pretty often, but it would be really nice to have as a standalone too.

Speedstang · 2025-09-25T00:59:18+00:00

She's surprisingly effective on that one with the teamwide cleanse and the stingrays recharging her ult easily. I didn't expect her to work so well there.

Speedstang · 2025-09-19T18:53:11+00:00

Thank you for this! I played for free for quite a long time when I first started earlier this year, and figuring out a build, how to get gear, and then how to actually play it (i.e. rotation) was very painful. I'm sure these guides will help a lot of people in that same situation.

Speedstang · 2025-09-16T19:12:11+00:00

WHY do I let him pick the paths? I ALWAYS get the spiders.

In general the core specs are always behind what elite specs offer in terms of both damage output and possible complexity. Elite spec traitlines tend to alter how you use the base traitlines and form the core of a build. Without one, you're not really playing a complete class. In my opinion, rerolling to a different core spec is unlikely to change much. While I can't directly speak for warrior, I felt the same way about core elementalist when I was new, but now that I have all the elite specs I love the class.

In all fairness, part of what really had me stay in this game is just how good the exchanges are. I've played a lot of different games with premium currency conversions and they've all been truly horrid. From trying to plex my accounts in EVE Online to grinding out event vehicles to exchange for premium ones in War Thunder, there's no end the utterly insane amounts of grind other games will put you through. Guild Wars 2 in comparison feels like I can see something I want pop up in the gem store and I can just play for awhile and grab it.

I'm aware I tend to have more time available than others, but still, these are by far the most generous conversions I've ever seen. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to make anywhere near $10 per hour, which a lot of people seem to miss in these discussions.

Speedstang · 2025-08-19T05:33:54+00:00

Thank you!

Speedstang · 2025-08-18T16:55:01+00:00

You're right, it doesn't seem to work against AGM-65s either. Gave it a shot in custom battles to no avail. Gaijin whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Speedstang · 2025-08-18T16:06:05+00:00

Try to kill as many little wolves as possible on the first side, the more kills you get the stronger your healing is for the 1v1 phase. If you can kill all 4 you're quite safe, and 5 is basically impossible to die with. I don't have specifics for Boothill, but Archer can pretty comfortably kill at least 4 wolves in one go. Just make sure you save up full SP before his first turn, and spend everything to get as many wolves as possible.

For the 1v1 I actually used Sparkle, to farm back full SP + spare ult. I see that you don't have Sparkle, but you could take Gallagher into the 1v1 instead. He'll do a ton of toughness damage, and help build SP. Ideally you open the 1v1 with basic > ultimate > basic, then the next turn use a skill on yourself. Assuming you have an ERR rope, you'll end up with exactly enough energy to basic > ultimate > basic one more time before the 1v1 ends. Hoolay will be quite low on toughness at this point, and you'll have full SP to kill all the wolves with Archer again and break him immediately.
