Hi~ I'm finding it very hard to battle bosses and beat wild pets (can't even progress in the lost grove....) now and I want to know if I can get any tips. I was using burning embers but I found that even harder. https://imgur.com/t/sylestia/xPexBjs Link to party image.
Here are the pet links;

https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=3555450 Hereo Godess of crystal

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!
(please ping me if you respond!)

okay, for a start, just looking at the imgur image, Thermal Vents should Absolutely Not be in party slot one- that's where the Tank goes, because that's where enemies aim the most.

On with breakdown...

Ooooh boy I can see why you're having trouble.

> Typically the setup for the LG is Tank (Water/Shadow/Earth) / Healer (Light) / Attacker (Fire/Air), with the Tank absolutely in Party slot 1.
> Pick if you want to use and Air or Fire pet as your attacker and go with it, not both at once in the LG


Name: Thermal Vents
Level: 61
Element: Fire
Prof.: 1HP/2Int
Relic: Myrmidon, leg, lv50
Armor: Crusader (old), leg, lv60
Acc.: Evoker, leg, lv60
Acc.: Illusionist, epic, lv45

> Fire pets should be in slot 2 or 3
> Profs should be 3Int or maybe 2Int/1Dex

> Thermal Vents Needs an Evoker Relic ASAP- She's a fire pet, a MAgical Damage type, and Myrmidon is a Physical Damage equip. She's being crippled in the damage output because of it.
> Fire pets should be equipped purely with Evoker/Pyromancer equips.

> She needs all her equips to be lv60, and either Legendary rarity or Pyromancer equips.

Name: Hereo Godess of crystal
Level: 60
Element: Air
Prof.: 1HP/2Str
Relic: Disciple, epic, lv60
Armor: Warden (old), leg, lv60
Acc.: Evoker, leg, lv60
Acc.: Disciple, leg, lv60

> Air pets, like Fire, should be in slot 2 or 3
> Profs should be 3Str or maybe 2Str/1Dex (you might be able to get away with 1Str/2Dex, but you really want the damage output over the Bleeding Debuff)

> Give her Thermal's Myrmidon relic at the least, lv50 legendary beats out a lv60 epic, especially when one is Disciple and the other is Myrmidon.
> Air pets want Pure Myrmidon or Stormcaller- See Thermal's comments, but replace Pyromancer with Stormcaller.

Name: Etanth
Level: 61
Element: Shadow
Prof.: 3Int
Relic: Illusionist, leg, lv50
Armor: Assassin, epic, lv45
Acc.: Assassin, epic, lv45
Acc.: Disciple, uncommon, lv60

> Get rid of the uncommon. Just... turf it straight into a river or something.

> Shadow Tank would go in slot 1
> You could go with 3Int, but I think Shadow Tanks are usually Agi based? 1Int/2Agi maybe? 1HP/2Agi? You'd need to ask someone who actually uses a Shadow Tank in the LG (I use an Earth tank)

> Legendary Illusionist is what a shadow tank wants, but you'll want to upgrade to a lv60 one, or Reaver equips from the LG.

> Assassin is for Physical tanks; again, as a shadow- Magical- tank, she wants Illusionist or Reaver (or Lightbringer)


You need a light healer (statted preferably 3Int, equipped with preferably Evoker/Pyromancer, maybe Illusionist/Lightbringer, or a combo of the two)

Also in the LG, wild-caught pets from the non-LG areas start to flag; higher base stats just makes everything easier against enemies that Will Maul You.

Thanks so much! I'll re-read this and fix in the morning!

Where would I get a Stormcaller relic? I've never seen one...

I also changed thermal vents to healer (light). Until I get more money I can't tune to a different element or reset points. my set up right now is Enath, Thermal, Hereo. Do you think I should change enath to earth? I can give you a screenshot of my relics and other if you want. Thanks so much for helping me!

Stormcaller is one of the six types of equipment obtained from the Lost Grove, and you can usually buy it off the broker.
the basic correlations in equipment are (pre-grove type = grove correlation (main focus stat/second focus stat))

Myrmidon = Stormcaller (Str/Dex)

Evoker = Pyromancer (Int/Dex)

Illusionist = Lightbringer (Int/Agi), Reaver (Agi/Int)

Assassin = Tidal Lord (Str/Agi), Warden (Agi/Str)


What element you use as your tank is really up to you- it's a matter of finding what setups you find work for you.


Doing a glance over at the current equips:
Etanth has the same stuff, all previous comments still apply

Thermal Vents has just lost her relic, so previous comments still apply and she needs a relic (either Illusionist or Evoker/ their counterparts)

Hereo Godess of crystal does now have primarily Myrmidon, but one is pre-Grove Rare and another is Uncommon (bad and Really Bad*, respectively), and her only lv60 is Disciple.
And she's still 1HP/2Str prof.

(*lv50 uncommon equips are literally worse than lv25 legendary, stat-wise)

Alright, when I get money I'll get the relics and reset points....
