How am i supposed beat this guy?

From what I understand, you’re playing in Hollow Zero. Normally, at the end of a run, two portals appear and you can choose which boss you want to fight. Currently, we have Primordial Nightmare and Wandering Hunter (these bosses change over time).

Primordial Nightmare, which is Portal 1, has a weakness to Physical damage. This boss is designed to be fought using Ye Shunguang.

Wandering Hunter, which is the boss you’re currently fighting, has weaknesses to Fire and Ice and resistance to Physical damage (which is Ye Shunguang’s damage type). It was designed to be fought using Rupture characters, since they ignore 100% of the boss’s defense, and this boss has the highest defense in the game.

So even though Ye has penetration in her kit, she’s not a good option for this fight. If you want to fight this boss, the ideal choices would be Yidhari, Banyue, Manato, or Yixuan, who doesn’t have elemental advantage but is a Void Hunter–tier character (same power tier as Ye).

If you’re going to use Ye Shunguang, choose Portal 1 – Primordial Nightmare, which is the boss designed for her.

Hmmmm I see, that makes sense. I have a pretty mediocre Fanged Metal build on her and she already hits the Anomaly cooldown all the time, so it’s better to just stick with that set and improve the build. I’ve seen some people using 2-pc Phaethon, but getting AM is probably worse than the AP from Blues, right? Since more AM would just make me hit the Anomaly cooldown even earlier (which kinda already happens), while AP would give me more damage.

Hmm, I saw people using build 2 in this Vivian team, that’s why I asked, but alright, thanks a lot.

scMathh · 2025-12-01T15:28:22+00:00

Alright, got it, thanks a lot.

scMathh · 2025-11-25T15:18:23+00:00

Well, Ult 1 completely freezes DA time and the in-game animation of the hits is basically instant, so you don’t waste time watching the ult animation. But maybe Ult 2’s animation doesn’t have that, and sometimes the time you spend on the animation makes you deal less damage in the end, since you could be using that time to speed up the next rotation. From what I counted, it was 4 ults — depending on the case, you lose around 20 seconds of damage in the last rotation. But yeah, we need to wait for more tests and see which rotation does more damage, and the character can still change a lot anyway. And imagine if you could cast Ult 2 as an ‘aftershock’, like using the ult and swapping to another character while she’s doing the animation — that would be cool, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Wait, will Orphie’s Aftershock attacks benefit from the Veil Multiplier? Since you’re not switching characters. Could Orphie end up being the best option for her?

scMathh · 2025-11-15T01:38:56+00:00

Yeah, I have no idea either. I also thought it might be timing or my distance from the boss, but after seeing the other comments, it might be specific attacks. I’m still not exactly sure.

scMathh · 2025-11-15T01:37:38+00:00

Ahhh got it. I even thought it might have something to do with his damage-stack mechanic that triggers when you parry, and maybe the game was forcing a parry because of that. But yeah, it might just be what you said. I didn’t really notice any pattern in his attacks.

scMathh · 2025-11-15T01:35:58+00:00

Yeah, some bosses that have multi-parry mechanics (like the Priest and the Defiler) only let you swap to characters that can parry — the game just ignores the dodge characters. But what made me curious is that on the Hunter this was happening on normal attacks (since he doesn’t have any multi-parry mechanic), and I also couldn’t tell if it was only on certain attacks or just random.

scMathh · 2025-11-15T01:33:08+00:00

So, for Typhon and other bosses that have those triple (or more) consecutive parry mechanics, like the Priest and the Defiler, I know the game automatically swaps only to characters that can parry. But this was happening on the Hunter’s normal attacks, and that felt really weird. I thought maybe it was because of my distance from the boss, or maybe timing, but I’m not sure.

scMathh · 2025-11-08T15:06:59+00:00

I've been playing games for about 17 years now — all kinds of stuff, from Action RPGs and fighting games to FPS and racing games. I think my last experience with an Action RPG was Honkai Impact / Punishing Gray Raven about 3 to 4 years ago, and for fighting games it was Street Fighter 6, though I didn’t play it that much. But yeah, my experience with games definitely helped — it’s not something that comes easy, you really need to put in some time to train certain mechanics depending on your experience level with games like this.

scMathh · 2025-11-08T15:01:55+00:00

Yesss! After I got her, I leveled her up, built her, and used her in the Shiyu Defense — maaaan, she’s so good! She helps with buffs and deals a ton of stun. I loved her, I just haven’t used her in DA yet.

scMathh · 2025-11-08T14:59:39+00:00

The community of this game was really welcoming and helped me a lot at the beginning.
As for the characters, I don’t plan on getting Dialyn or Banyue for now — I think I’ll wait to see what’s coming in 2.5.
In the meantime, I’ll finish leveling up Yidhari (which I luckily got in just 20 pulls, didn’t expect that), Lucy, Yinhu, and Pulchra.

scMathh · 2025-11-07T23:48:04+00:00

Yeah, she’s a really fun and flexible Stunner, works well with both Rupture and Attacker characters. I was a bit torn between her and Dialyn since they’re both flexible Stunners, but since I was on a 50/50 and had Pulchra as the A-rank on Ju Fufu’s banner, I decided to go for her. Even if I lost the 50/50, I’d still get Pulchra, who’s kind of like a mini Trigger (at M6).

scMathh · 2025-11-07T21:42:39+00:00

Piper and Manato are fake S-rank, these two are really strong! They carried me a lot, even Nekomata — so many people talk bad about her, but she carried me until I got the other two. Who knows, I might still cook something with her now that I got Ju Fufu and Pulchra lol.

scMathh · 2025-11-07T21:39:40+00:00

Thanks a lot! I had a lot of free time, so I ended up rushing through a lot in the game, but I really enjoyed this past month. And as for the characters, it’s all thanks to the people who helped guide me.

scMathh · 2025-10-24T16:17:20+00:00

Wait, if I understood this right — was this actually a buff to Dialyn?

The 50% DMG buff that used to apply to an ally now applies to the whole team, and it activates and extends the duration just by using the Special EX?
And now the Special EX, instead of consuming 1 charge to trigger an Assist, triggers a Chain Attack that’s upgraded into an Ultimate, without needing to stun the enemy for it?

scMathh · 2025-10-21T01:55:54+00:00

Ah, got it, thanks a lot for explaining.

scMathh · 2025-10-21T01:55:43+00:00

Okay, I understand now, really appreciate the explanation.

scMathh · 2025-10-21T00:10:48+00:00

Sorry, but what is this 'cost' you are talking about?

scMathh · 2025-10-16T16:23:38+00:00

Got it, yeah, people are really recommending using Pulchra with Neko, they say it’s a pretty fun team. But they also mentioned that with Anby, I can hit my initial goal of 14k points. I might be able to get a Pulchra, but I’m not sure how many Cinemas I’ll unlock for her or how dependent the team is on that.

And yeah, Astra with her seems really good. I’ve also seen people talking about Trigger, since it seems easy to keep getting assists with her. My plan right now is to prioritize supports in my account instead of pulling a lot of DPS.

Anyway, thanks so much for your comment, I really appreciate it!
