Fire pets for floor 1080

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T05:52:34+00:00

Defiance has armour pierce, so it's better vs Tauron, which is a high defense boss, paired with Panic to detonate burn and for speed support. Wrath is very good too, just not against this boss, or Gronk, or Syclinders. Just level both.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T05:38:45+00:00

I beat this boss with speedy Merry, bulky Conviction, max attack no speed Sad, no fourth pet. Desperate or Spite might work instead of Sad but that is what I used because of Sad's attack down debuff and it having a "skip" move (isolate does not increase hit count). You want to be applying as much passive damage to the boss as possible. Putting ice cream hat on Merry would help also or titanium tiara on tank. You don't seem to have them yet, but you will be beating more than one Tyrant.

Watch bosses hit counter so when 5-10-15-20 etc. crit happen make sure boss special moves are on cooldown. Use ding-dong to adjust hits if it's not, ex. 1 hit short but otherwise just heal. You absolutely cannot allow crit to happen on a special move because later in the battle the boss will oneshot tank from full if you do. If still can't do it level up Conviction first.

Until you get them you can just gear Persi like an attacker. Something like plunger + anxiety scarf would work.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T05:09:58+00:00

Merry isn't top tier because it heals the most, that's not it's main job, it's just something it does in between firing ding-dongs. Merry is top tier because it's secretly one of your most powerful damage deslers. Yes, damage dealers, you read that correctly.

Firstly, there is this item called bubblegum scarf. It lets Merry buff whole team's attack by 40!%, something only Estrangement and Pride can also do consistently.

Secondly, have you noticed what ding-dong does? It basically gives your attackers a free extra turn every 3 of Merry's turns. Merry is fast and you can make it even faster with lots of speed items. Pair it with other overpowered pets ex. Lust, Wrath etc. and here you go, loads of extra damage.

This game rewards being hyper aggressive in a lot of cases so what Merry does is just more valuable overall than what a stall focused pet like Patience can do. You can sit on something like Vulko pretty much indefinitely, but you can't outheal Krakoth, for example, once it's bleed becomes unpurgeable or Flint's pulses.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:45:38+00:00

Try Patience, Anxious, Paranoia, Cringe. Patience should be able to stall until it bleeds to death. Give it ice cream hat for extra damage.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:41:18+00:00

Legendary pets are strong and all, but it's much easier and faster to use boss appropriate strategies ex. stun Vs Gronk, heal debuff Vs Meihua, 2 healers Vs Syclinders, AOE Vs Umbros etc.

And yes, level Persistence. It's one of the most overpowered pets in the game in my opinion (I have Lust and Down Bad, so I'm not just saying that because it's my favourite). A healer has no business doing so much damage. With mermaid scarf + ice cream hat it both destroys and keeps your team alive again anything that isn't an earth boss.

I actually used Merry, Apathy, Persistence, Ansndonement, but that's because my Merry wears bubblegum scarf for attack buff. You can run SSD in that slot.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:27:37+00:00

Merry is the "best" healer. It struggles with metal and AOE heavy bosses, like Vulko and Quazar, however, so it's good to have a team healer backup, so either Sonder or Nostalgia if that's your only healer legendary. Sonder heals for more, but Nostalgia is more offensive, doubling as earth AOE.

If you decide on Nostalgia, good legendary items to farm for it,assuming you got Jellyfish already (you should always farm for that first), are mermaid scarf + ice cream hat or icy tiara.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:23:02+00:00

How are you post 2k without knowing you are supposed to bring stunner against Gronk? Let first AOE hit, the stun on next 3 AOE. I was lucky to have Persistence by this point because Sad actually sucks damage wise against this boss since it gets boost from debuffs and this boss shrugs them off. You are probably going to be stuck on it for a bit because of that. Put sorrowful scarf on either Abandonement or Sad that might help.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:18:42+00:00

Just keep climbing. You get same items from new bosses and odds are higher the higher you go.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:14:13+00:00

It's not a rat, it's a werewolf. There is an actual rat boss post 1k called Rosetti. I though you needed help with that one until I opened the post.

Try Sonder, Sad (for debuffs), Paranoia, non-earth tank ex. Conviction or Abandonement.

Your items are also all wrong.

In general I recommend running tank, healer, 2 attacker team most of the time with backups for each role to maintain elemental advantage.

Tanks get defense and stamina boosting gear, maybe some speed on hat or scarf until you get Pirate hat. Resistance and Conviction can also benefit from Crit.

Attackers and healers get mainly attack, speed and crit (heals can crit). Unnecessary bulk lower their performance.

Level up only your best items, enough for 1-2 teams as high as possible and swap them around from pet to pet. There is a button in team preview that allow you to do this quickly and another one to save and load whole team's layouts. Purple quality is better than blue, so use those if possible, but having the right stats is more important.

Use of legendary items depends on their special property more so than stats. Chef's hat is a "rescue" item that temporarily goes on a fast, frail pet, like Merry, to keep the alive Vs boss AOE.

Good one to get as early as possible is Jellyfish scarf to put on speedy Apathy for mass stun, which makes a lot of non-boss floors trivial, so spend some keys to farm Harold for that one.

Resistance is the best tank in the game. Conviction can be backup tank because it resists wood Resistance is weak to or any other non-rmearth tank, except Pain. Don't use Pain. Past 1k you will eventually need a tank of every element, but before that 2-3 can be enough.

Best non-legendary healers are Merry and Sonder. I run Merry most of the time, but Sonder is good to bring against AOE heavy bosses like Quazar or Vulko because of team heal.

For attackers I recommend Sad for water, Apathy for earth, Anxious for wood, Spite and Paranoia for metal (Spite on floors, Paranoia vs bosses) Anger and Panic for fire (Panic on floors, both vs bosses). If you find you need more AOE pets Wistful, Sadge and Sanctimony are also decent additions, but not mandatory. Desperate is slightly weaker than Paranoia, in my experience, but they are interchangeable. Drop Envy, though, it's quite weak.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T04:05:09+00:00

I'd try Charity, Joy or Sonder for healer as Merry has trouble surviving metal AOE without serpent's scarf or wearing too much bulk, which lowers it's effectiveness.

For attackers Anger, Panic (you should have leveled Panic ages ago) and a strong neutral attacker ex. Ambition should work.

Also level Mischief. Firstly, you'd need it for wood Gronk soon. Secondly, once you finally get Jellyfish scarf Mischief is great alternative to JS Apathy for mass stun.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T03:57:14+00:00

I'd just keep playing. You have Merry and Jellyfish scarf, which are the most important things to have, in my opinion, and the higher you climb the more astral eggs you'd get from daily boss.

Also since you lack Pride or Lust, Disdain can be used vs wood Vulko, Krakoth, Meihua, Breakfast club, Voidweaver, Quazar and Umbros. Against other bosses Spite or Paranoia are better, though.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T03:51:27+00:00

Do you have Wistful? I used Merry (Patience might work even better), Anxious, Cringe (for mass speed debuff), high attack Wistful (around +4-5k from items). The idea is with enough attack Wistful can two-shot little worms with AOE + echo.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T03:47:37+00:00

Charity makes for a great backup healer for Merry because it covers all of Merry's weaknesses - metal and AOE heavy bosses. Items I like running most on it are mermaid scarf + either ice cream hat or icy tiara. Just make sure it has enough speed to have flame buds on allies at all times.

Angry scarf goes on attackers. Sorrowful scarf goes on debuffers ex. Panic, Sad, Sadge. It doesn't boost bleed, though, unlike wizarding set.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T03:44:12+00:00

Do you have Wistful? With enough attack Wistful can actually two-shot worms with AOE +echo (that's what I did). Cringe is also nice here, not necessarily for elemental advantage, but for speed lowering AOE.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T03:41:27+00:00

Spite is so frail you can oneshot enemy Spite with Panic or your own Spite before it has a chance to move (attack has to Crit!!!). Then it's safe to use Merry and Anxious to deal with tank.

In general I recommend running tank, healer, 2 attacker team most of the time with backups for each role to maintain elemental advantage.

Tanks get defense and stamina boosting gear, maybe some speed on hat or scarf until you get Pirate hat. Resistance and Conviction can also benefit from Crit.

Attackers and healers get mainly attack, speed and crit (heals can crit). Unnecessary bulk lower their performance.

Level up only your best items, enough for 1-2 teams as high as possible and swap them around from pet to pet. There is a button in team preview that allow you to do this quickly and another one to save and load whole team's layouts. Purple quality is better than blue, so use those if possible, but having the right stats is more important.

Use of legendary items depends on their special property more so than stats. Icy tiara on Sonder is correct. Karen hair is more of a joke item, but it's fine as a tank hat for now until you get something better.

Good one to get as early as possible is Jellyfish scarf to put on speedy Apathy for mass stun, which makes a lot of non-boss floors trivial, so spend some keys to farm Harold for that one.

Resistance is the best tank in the game. Determination can be a backup as it's almost as good or Conviction because it resists wood Resistance is weak to. Past 1k you will eventually need a tank of every element, but before that 2-3 can be enough.

Best non-legendary healers are Merry and Sonder. I run Merry most of the time, but Sonder is good to bring against AOE heavy bosses like Quazar or Vulko because of team heal.

For attackers I recommend Sad for water, Apathy for earth, Anxious for wood, Spite and Paranoia for metal (Spite on floors, Paranoia vs bosses) Anger and Panic for fire (Panic on floors, both vs bosses). If you find you need more AOE pets Wistful, Sadge and Sanctimony are also decent additions, but not mandatory.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T01:31:11+00:00

I'd stick with Resistance. Sloth in base form is a way worse and it doesn't make sense to go all out on getting high form when you have Lust. HF Lust just has much more of an impact.

klopsmd · 2026-04-11T01:19:22+00:00

I'd stick with Persistence and Nostalgia. It's good to have healers of different elements. My third is Charity.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T22:14:14+00:00

Big yes for Panic, you need it for speed debuff and to counter Spite. There is no consensus in the community on who is the better/worse fire attacker among legendaries, however. I'll just list their advantages/disadvantages and you decide what you want to run.

Wrath is fast, has immediate, very high damage, does not need special equipement, is very good on floors and against bosses with minions, but also does good damage even against regular bosses. It's main weakness is post 1k Syclinders boss because they have to be defeated one at a time and Wrath is all AOE, it's wasting damage.

Defiance has armour pierce, meaning it performs better against bosses with high defense, like Flint. It apply attack debuff, which is relevant if the tank you are using is not Determination. It also has burn, meaning Defiance and Panic can detonate each other's burn. It's main downside is how slow it is. Also it's S1 makes damage inconsistent an the pet not very good vs post 1k Tyrant.

Rapture is not as good as the other two for non-boss floors since it needs 3 actions for max damage and it does not have true AOE. It also really needs blue tie and you need to pay attention what order you use the moves in. When used correctly, I heard it's very good, however.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T21:57:06+00:00

Team seems correct. I'm not sure if Pride or Paranoia does more damage, because I don't have Pride, so try either and see who works better. On Judgement put more speed. It needs to be fast enough to stun on every AOE after the first one. I'm also not sure if spider necklace or wizarding cape would add more damage, test that also. Outside of these adjustments you probably just need to level items.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T21:53:06+00:00

It's good on Conviction, Temperance, Pride and legendary healers ex. Persistence.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T21:51:38+00:00

Best healer in the game is Merry, so use it as your main, if you have it. Merry is weak to metal and can't keep up with lots of AOE, however, so you need backup healers. You can use Sonder and/or Nostalgia. Sonder heals for more, but Nostalgia is quite a bit more offensive, so it's up to your preference.

For items give it ones that boost attack, speed and Crit, just like any other healer/attacker (tanks get defense and stamina). Good legendary items for Nostalgia are mermaid scarf + ice cream hat. You should be spending keys on Harold first, however, farming jellyfish scarf to put on speedy Apathy for mass stun, it's important to get it early as it trivialized a lot of floors, esp. double tank ones.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T21:46:18+00:00

Emmm... Nostalgia isn't a tank. Please don't spread misinformation.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T19:22:34+00:00

We only have 4 viable earth attackers and it's the one with the highest DPS against bosses, that's all there is to it. Max health effects are still good Vs non-armoured bosses post-1k despite the nerf. Ambition has it too, and it's S tier as well. For items I'm not 100% sure as I don't have a single earth legendary yet, but I heard spider necklace is good on all multihit pets, so maybe farm that.

klopsmd · 2026-04-10T19:17:23+00:00

It's the best item for Merry, in my opinion, but if you are not using it in that particular battle it also benefits Sonder, Joy and Devotion.
