Hi all,

The slog to reach the end of Tier 11 continues.. currently at 10589 / 12000. We'll get there one day..!

In the meantime, I wondered if someone wouldn't mind please looking at my current set and advising what might be a wise move at this point to swap / replace any weapons as I edge slowly but surely closer to T12? Feels like i've hit a bit of a brick wall with the higher level challengers and i'm not quite able to beat quite a few still.

My set is as follows:

I recognise I probably should start to think about the a big hitter like Natasha, but I just can't really afford that at least for now. Is there anything a liiittle more attainable at this stage, and / or would I benefit from selling anything from my current set to try and get something a little more worthwhile / pricey?

Scrolls (AP 191): x 4 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 1 x3 x 2 x 1

Thank you so much in advance!

At this point I would work on diversifying your armory! You have many of the staples, but once you're into the impossible challengers, it's all about having an armory for any situation.

TheSov has a guide here about endgame armories: Planning for the Endgame (T10+ Guide) OUT OF DATE

You'll want to collect at least one weapon that blocks for each icon type. You have physical (Ether) and ice and magma (Unstable Sample Syringe) pretty much covered, but you'll need weapons for the other six.

Your scroll set also looks pretty good! Again, it's all about creating a strategy for each specific opponent. There's nothing wrong with your weapons or scrolls per se, you just need to know when to use certain things. For example, if an opponent has freezing disabled, you wouldn't want to bring in freezing scrolls.

I would go grab the Molten Summoning Tome from the Cash Shop if you haven't already. You should be able to defeat Forj Matriarch, the Erupting soon to earn a Gift of the Forj Scroll. Everybody loves that one 😅

Thank you so much! :) Always so helpful, I massively appreciate it. That all makes sense.

Just a quick one, as I've already got Forj Matriarch waiting to be battled in my opponents .. Do you think I could win the fight with a Swashbuckle and The Ether? I've looked high and low for the Trident for months now, but I can't seem to find one selling anywhere..

Swashbuckle and Trident both block wind, so it's really up to you which one you want to use. The Trident can be obtained from completing your 2010 Bobblehead collection.

As for Forj Matriarch, you'll want to make sure you're doing a lot of Water damage, as she blocks everything else. I believe I modified my weapons with crystals to do extra water damage. You could try Swashbuckle/The Ether or Swashbuckle/Unstable Sample Syringe or even The Ether/Unstable Sample Syringe against her. Good luck!

You can also hurt Forj with curses. Captured Eternal Flame is good at beginning of the battle.

Thank you for this! I completed the Bobblehead collection so many years ago when I wasn't a battler, and I can't even remember getting the trident as a prize! Ha. Not very helpful..

Can I ask what crystals you used to mod your weapons?

There are two different Bobblehead collections (2010 and 2012), so you want to check to see which one you completed. I had to actually file a report to get my Trident, as it didn't award it to me upon completion of the collection. It wouldn't hurt to verify with staff that you have what you were entitled to receive.

I believe I used on my weapons. You can check the Mod Crystal Guide for ideas. I don't know if it lists water specifically, but most icons have their 'own' crystal type. I hope this helps!

- Good advice, I did try this with staff but as I completed the collection so many years ago, they were unable to verify if i'd received the trident or not. I really don't remember receiving it though, so pretty unlucky for me! Guess i'll have to hope to find one trading one day..

Thanks so much for the notes on the crystals - much appreciated. :)

That's a bummer! That's disappointing since many people spend real money on those bobbleheads.

You've probably already checked, but just in case you haven't - you can plug the name of the item into the Account Search Feature to see if it's buried in your account anywhere.

There are two items you should search for which transforms into . Hopefully you get super lucky and find one! :D

To be honest, I would probably use the cheaper as a wind blocker instead of the Trident in your case. The Trident is quite expensive given the number of real dollars it takes to get the bobbleheads. Good luck in your battles!
