Simulated Universe World 3 Suggested Path(s) & Blessings Picking Strategy

You can finish World 3 by choosing any Path. Choosing what path is also correlated to team comp. Below Paths are generally applicable and suggested to be chosen in World 3.

The Nihility

Nihility Path’s characteristic is increasing DMG throughout the battle(because of Suspicion). In the Boss fight, the Boss stacks a DMG increase buff after using an AoE skill, so phase 3 becomes the most dangerous part of whole fight. Moreover, after phase 2, the boss starts to use a skill that provide a shield to protect all enemies, so the time of breaking the shield is a key point in phase 2 and phase 3. This make Nihility a suitable Path in World 3. If you get the Nihility blessing – Offerings of Deception(Every time an enemy takes DMG from a DoT, all allies restore HP equal to 1.0% of their respective Max HP), you even don’t need a healing in the team. Please be reminded to include DoT DPS like Sampo, Hook or Serval, etc, in the team if you choose Nihility in World 3.

The Hunt

The Hunt is a suitable choice in World 3. As the final Boss stacks a DMG increase buff after using an AoE skill, using the Hunt to reducing action can slower the stacking of the debuff. The Boss summons 2 mobs at staring of each phase, pick Resonance Formation: Bow and Arrow and Resonance Formation: Perfect Aim can ensure double Hunt Resonance in each turn of mobs.

Path of The Nihility

Resonance Formation Priority

You should choose the blessings according the below priority(if you can’t get them all) :

Resonance Formation: The Doubtful Fourfold Root – When using Path Resonance, increases the base chance of applying statuses by 100% and the duration of statuses by 1 turn, and adds 1 stack to all stackable statuses.
This Formation is in prior because it increased overall DMG of Nihility Resonance which can break the protective shield of the Boss as soon as possible.
Resonance Formation: Suffering and Sunshine – The attacks of Path Resonance: The Nihility have 100% base chance to inflict 2 stacks of Confusion and 2 stacks of Devoid on all enemies for 2 turn(s).
This Formation cause additional debuff, Confusion and Devoid on enemies, which cause extra DMG to ememies whose weakness were broken and also reduce enemies’s toughness regeneration.
Resonance Formation: Outsider – When entering battle, Path Resonance regenerates 40% Energy. When an enemy receives DoT, Path Resonance additionally regenerates 2% Energy.
Less important choice in World 3.

Path of The Hunt

Resonance Formation Priority

You should choose the blessings according the below priority(if you can’t get them all) :

Resonance Formation: Bow and Arrow – When Path Resonance: The Hunt deals damage, enemies whose HP is lower than 50% are guaranteed to receive CRIT Hits, with the CRIT DMG at 50%. When the enemy is defeated, regenerates 50% Energy.
This Formation is in prior because it enhanced the DMG of the Resonance the most. Also using the Resonance to defeat enemey results in generation of 50 Energy which is useful when clearing mobs in Boss fight.
Resonance Formation: Perfect Aim – Increase the Energy limit of Path Resonance from 100 to 200 points. When an ally’s turn starts, additionally regenerates 3% Energy for Path Resonance.
