5. CM Serena's Clear Guide 
[Preparations Before Entering the Raid] 
＃1 Basic tips for Twisted Marsh and development of essential Monsters 
- At least 397k PWR is required to clear Twisted Marsh easily. 
- Roles of support Monsters are very important in Twisted Marsh. 
- Kaliya applies Bleed/Poison with its basic attack and various skills. 
Players will receive unremovable debuffs and additional damage based on the Bleed/Poison level. 
- So it is essential to remove those debuffs constantly to avoid receiving Bleed/Poison stacks. 
- Furthermore, be cautious of Kaliya's Lady's Blessing skill as it steals beneficial effects from the target and transfers all the debuffs on itself to another target. 
e.g.) If your team has beneficial effects, such as ATK UP and CRIT UP, 
and if Kaliya has harmful effects, such as DEF DOWN, DMG Taken UP, 
the beneficial effects and the harmful effects will be switched. 
- If the party is under Immunity, the harmful effects will not be transferred. 
- In order to remove the stolen beneficial effects, you must use Remove Beneficial Effect or Steal. 
- If petrified with Forbidden Spell, the Petrify can be removed by receiving attacks from Kaliya's Venomous Fang in its viper form. 
- The damage taken will be reduced when multiple Summoners and Monsters get hit by Venomous Fang, 
but since it deals powerful DoT, you must immediately use a recovery skill. 
- Since Poison Revenge and Blood Revenge also deals fixed damage equal to 65% of current HP, 
you must remember to use a recovery skill after being hit. 
- You will find the following Monsters helpful in Twisted Marsh. 

※ Recommended Monsters

● Healer
- Immunity and DoT removal are must-have skills in Twisted Marsh.
- Furthermore, it is recommended to use skills that instantly heal than Continuous Recovery.
- 5★ Water Occult Girl - Removes harmful effects, provides instant recovery
- 5★ Water Archangel - Removes harmful effects, provides instant recovery and Continuous Recovery
- 4★ Water Howl - Removes harmful effects, provides instant recovery
- 4★ Light Howl - Removes DoT, applies Immunity, provides instant recovery
* In addition to the above-mentioned Monsters, any support Monsters with harmful effect removal and Immunity can be used.

● DPS
- You need Monsters that can deal powerful DPS or remove/steal beneficial effects.
- 5★ Wind Vampire - Suitable for most raids due to its damage based on harmful effects
- 5★ Fire Desert Queen - Steals effects
- 5★ Fire Vampire Hunter - Removes harmful effects
- 5★ Fire Oracle - Removes beneficial effects, removes harmful effects
- 5★ Wind Polar Queen - Removes harmful effects
* Aside from the Monsters mentioned above, any Monsters that can deal significant damage, remove harmful effects, or steal effects are viable options.

＃2. Since quick Monster and Soul Link Monster replacements are necessary during Twisted Marsh, it is important to level up the utility skill [Change of Plan], which reduces the mana cost for switching Monsters, and [Bond Enhancement], which decreases the time required for Soul Link placement.

[Raid Battle Checklist]
① Before engaging in battle with Kaliya, ensure that she uses Lady's Blessing.
If Kaliya uses this skill prior to the battle, there won't be any effects to be stolen or received.
Lady's Blessing is used as the first skill when Kaliya transforms from her viper form to human form or immediately after using Lethal Beauty. Make sure to confirm if this skill has been used before starting the battle.

② During the battle, Kaliya continues to use Lady's Blessing.
Pay close attention to the targeted Summoner and Monsters, and utilize skills for removing harmful effects and providing instant recovery when their HP is low.

③ On the other hand, Kaliya has stolen the beneficial effects as well,
so you must steal back those effects or remove them before fighting again.
(If Kaliya has stolen ATK UP, CRIT DMG UP, or Invincibility, you must remove them ASAP.)

④ Poison Revenge and Blood Revenge are often used after Blood Dance.
Since the 2 skills both inflict damage up to 65% of the current HP,
it is crucial to use a recovery skill immediately after being hit by these skills.

⑤ To avoid the snakes that appear when Kaliya uses the Viper's Dance skill,
it is effective to position yourself on the outskirts of the dungeon.
Additionally, the Death's Dance effect is applied when a Summoner is hit by the snake, so it's crucial to avoid getting attacked.
(Monsters are only affected by Poison when attacked.)

⑥ Afterwards, Kaliya will turn into a viper after using Forbidden Spell.
When the warning message for Forbidden Spell appears, it's crucial to gather with nearby Summoners and Monsters.

⑦ The reason is because Venomous Fang in Kaliya's viper form is needed for petrification removal.
Venomous Fang is used on Summoner as a target, and it can remove Petrify more effectively when more Monsters are included within the range.

If everyone's scattered, they will receive multiple hits from Venomous Fang, resulting in taking great damage.
※ Please note that Venomous Fang inflicts fixed damage, so remember to use a recovery skill immediately after being hit by the skill.

⑧ After returning to human form, Kaliya uses Lethal Beauty.
It is important to move away from the red light that appears in the temple.
Failing to avoid it will result in petrification, which cannot be removed until the end of the dungeon.

⑨ Then Kaliya will indiscriminately use Blood Dance, Poison Revenge, Blood Revenge, along with Blood Pool.
It is crucial to deal damage to Kaliya while avoiding the Blood Pool on the ground.

That's all for the Twisted Marsh clear strategy.
