How To Beat Skyclops In Dream Realm
Skyclopsswaps between using physical and magic damage, while also gainingresistance to physical or magic damage, depending on which skill it uses. Skyclops will periodically summon eitherWings of LightorWings of Darkness.
When Wings of Light is active, Skyclops willresist physical damage, and when Wings of Darkness is active, it willresist magic damage.
Skyclops’Ultimate skillwill have it sweep a laser across the arena, dealing massive damage.
Because Skyclops alternates between massive resistances to physical and magic damage, having a team that can dealTrue damageis extremely valuable. Additionally, you’ll want to have someone who canconsistently restore health, as well as a party member who can deal decentAoE damageto remove the Wings of Light or Darkness.
Overall, you’ll want to have party members who can fill the following roles. In some cases, one character may be able to fill multiple roles.
Below, we’ll go over some of the best options for each of these roles, as well as some substitutes if you don’t have that particular Hero.
In general, the best Hero depends entirely onwho you have available. Try the best you can with your current lineup!
Best Tanks For Skyclops
The best Tank for Skyclops is, by far,Smokey & Meerky. This duo doubles as a buffer and healer, making them extremely valuable. Running Smokey & Meerky allows you to clear up the buffer and healer positions for more damage, so long as their buffs and heals can keep your party alive.
Some good substitutes for the Tank role are:
Best Healers For Skyclops
As mentioned above, Smokey & Meerky provide the most consistent healing, as well as being able tobuff and tank. The only downside to this Hero is the somewhatlimited range of their buffsand heals, meaning the rest of your party will need toremain close byto take full advantage of their effects.
Here are a few good options for healers if you don’t have Smokey & Meerky.
Best DPS For Skyclops
For Skyclops, and all Dream Realm bosses, for that matter, you’ll want at least onehigh-damage single-target Herothat will provide the majority of your damage output. Depending on how many of your other Heroes are performing multiple roles, you will have free slots open on your team for more DPS Heroes.
This is the most flexible spot in your team, so the best option is often what you have available. That said, here are some standouts.
And here are a few more honorable mentions
Because Skyclops alternates between high physical defense and magic defense, bringing aDPS Hero that can deal True damagewill let you mostly ignore this defense swapping mechanic, maintaining consistent damage throughout the fight.
Best Buffers For Skyclops
Having at least one buffer is very important for these types of fights. Buffs can be categorized into offensive and defensive. Ideally, you’ll want to have a mix of the two, or focus more heavily on either offensive or defensive, depending on where your party may be lacking.
Once again,Smokey & Meerkyproves to be invaluable, and is one of the strongest buffers in the game. Of course, there are a number of other very strong buffers you can use instead.
Best Debuffers For Skyclops
Just like buffs, debuffs play an important role in keeping your party alive while increasing the damage you deal to the boss. When considering damage-increasing debuffs, you’ll want to ensure you use physical defense down debuffs if you’re using mainly physical damage in your party, and so on.
Kruger and Reinierare two of the strongest debuffers in the game. Kruger can regularly inflictPhysical Defense down, while Reinier will make the boss takemore damage from all sources. If you don’t have these characters, here are a few alternatives.
