[Arknights] JT8-3 Challenge Mode - Easy Specter/Surtr Cheese

This strategy revolves around placing Specter and Surtr during the firestorm and using their immortality skills so they survive, clear the enemy waves, and block the rest of your operators from taking damage. This trivializes the firestorm phase of this fight, which is arguably the hardest part of this fight once your figure out how the dot/explosion works.

Other than that, any other operators can be used as long as the last 4 operators you deploy are in those checkerboard positions (so they don't splash aoe on nearby ops).

With stronger healers (mine are only E1) you don't need much boss damage. So silverash/angelina isn't needed at all.

Other tips:
Use myrtle and bagpipe throughout the fight to take the boss' debuffs and then retreat them before they explode on other units.

Wait until the boss does her first debuff before deploying in the thorns/angelina positions so they don't die to the dot damage.

Use surtr to kill Talulah : ❌
Use surtr to block magic fireball : ✅

This strat is basically 4 healers and angelina, with this much healing you can easily fit in fast redeploy ops to use as the blockers during the firestorm.

Damn, Amiya really is great at tanking Talulah. Fits the story...

Thanks for the guide, i swap perfumer -> nightingale for more stable

[hromex]

This is the only strat that worked for me.

[DepressedArchon]

I cleared this with Thorns support, not knowing this is CM mode, gonna try again after I level up Amiya, S2M3 Spectre and S3M3 Nightingale.

Thank you, Doctor!

[universalsenpai]

Thank you the guide was very helpful managed to do it 1st try

[ritwikg.]

Just use Saria S3 and Ptilopsis S2 together during the firestorm, if you have no Nightingale. No blocking needed, and it recharges in time for the second storm, too.

*Easy Specter/Surtr/Thorns Cheese. Seriously, my high level Lappland just doesn't survive the casters and the fire blasts, wtf do I do for that position if I don't have Thorns?

[satoshi]

I wasted all of my practice tickets trying to outheal the damage or meat wall with fast redeploys before I had the giga brain moment to use this strat

[marclenraymagdaraog]

ugh.. I wish I have spectre and surtr tho :v

[chocolatepanda]

Bring NG to use on one of the flame wave, easier
