Strategy

Hitter: Buff up using non-blades. For example, traps and Windstorm or Star school aura spells.

Supporters: Blade up the hitter and get them set up to hit before the 5th round to prevent having to deal with the minions. Supporters should also heal and shield to prevent defeat.

Make sure the person Hitting goes last

Round One: Supporters should begin to set up by casting Elemental or Spirit Blades/Traps and any other Blades/Traps that the hitter can use. The hitter should use any of their school traps.

Round Two: Enchant Blades and Traps using potent/sharpen to increase the damage.

Round Three: One support team member can use the hitters’ school global spell, ex. Time of Legend, or Darkwind, and the rest can continue blading up the hitter. The hitter can use their preferred Star School damage spell, e.g. Frenzy, Berserk etc.

Round Four: This is the round you will want to use any last buffs you have while the hitter attacks with their strongest spell. Preferably a shadow hit if they can and no DoT spells. If you do not have Shadow magic yet and you are the hitter, use your highest damage spell to hit.

Now you know how to beat Krampus, go save Christmas before It’s too late!
