Greetings from <Summoners War: Chronicles>.

Tree of Heroes was added to the world of Chronicles through the Jun. 15th update.

- When the boss switches to the Fire attribute, you need Monsters that can apply CRIT RES DOWN or DMG Taken UP.

When the boss switches to the Water attribute, you need Monsters that can apply Unrecoverable.

- When the boss’ attribute is neutral, you need Monsters of both types above, so it is important to coordinate with party members before forming your team.

- Below is the list of Monsters that are helpful in Tree of Heroes.

＃2. In Tree of Heroes, you need to switch Monsters according to the attribute

and constantly use buff/debuff skills. 

Among the utility skills, remember to enhance [Change of Plan], which decreases the mana required to switch the Monsters, and [Bond Enhancement], which decreases the cooldown to switch soul link Monsters to the MAX!

[Checklist During Raid Battles]

① Prior to entering a raid, it is necessary to check if party members have Monsters that can apply Unrecoverable and CRIT RES DOWN.

* If 3 party members all have the Monsters with the same effect, the damage dealt may not be efficient. Thus, you must coordinate with your party.

EX) One party member can have a Monster with Unrecoverable, another one can have a Monster with CRIT RES DOWN, and the remaining party member can go for DPS

② Once you enter the raid and move to the center, Farakel will change his attribute.

This is when you need to check and switch your Monsters to ones with attribute advantage.
EX) When Farakel switches to Wind, you need to switch to Fire Monsters as well

③ Unlike other bosses, where you just need to deal damage to move on to the next phase,

the origin that has advantage over the boss needs to be destroyed first.

* You may take additional damage upon destroying another origin.

Therefore, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with skills that can destroy the origin of each attribute.

* When the boss is of a Fire attribute, you must induce the boss’ Origin Destroyer - Mortality skill to destroy the Origin of Wind.

* When the boss is of a Water attribute, you must induce the boss’ Origin Destroyer - Blue Hole skill to destroy the Origin of Fire.

* When the boss is of a Wind attribute, you must induce the boss’ Origin Destroyer - Mortality skill to destroy the Origin of Water.

④ Farakel uses different skills for each of his attributes. It’s best to memorize all of them,

but you can also familiarize yourself with the main patterns for each attribute,

* Fire Attribute - Since he has CRIT RES UP as passive, 

it’s necessary to constantly apply CRIT RES DOWN or DMG Taken UP to the boss.

Stormy Blast skill, which casts in a semicircular form is used once. Inferno skill is casted in a straight line with a charge 3 to 4 times. 

* Water Attribute - Since he has Drain as passive,

it’s necessary to apply Unrecoverable to the boss.

Absorb and Recharge skills can be distinguished by Red or Blue shields.

When it’s red, avoid getting hit, and when the shield is blue, you must nuke it down with damage.

Shockwave skill displays 3 AoE beforehand, so you must avoid it in the correct order.

* Wind Attribute - The Storm skill tracks the closest Summoner,

so you must move away from party members and draw the storm elsewhere, away from the party members.

⑤ After 3 attribute patterns, 3 portals will be formed.

Each portal with summon the middle bosses: Ifrit(Fire), Undine(Water), and Sylph(Wind)

3 Summoners must take charge of each of the 3 portals and defeat the middle bosses.

Once a middle boss is defeated, Summoners can help the other party members clear their portals.

* As for Undine(Water), it’s recommended to defeat it using Monsters with Steal or Block Beneficial Effect as it uses Soul Protection and Immunity.

⑥ After this, the battle will continue with Farakel in neutral attribute. 

His damage will increase as he will use all the skills that were previously introduced.

You must constantly apply Unrecoverable, CRIT RES DOWN, and DMG Taken UP,

as it has both of the water/fire attribute passives, such as CRIT RES UP and Drain.

That’s all for the Tree of Heroes strategy guide.

Hope you can follow the guide above and successfully clear Tree of Heroes 

for Twilight Hero equipment, outfit, and equipment crafting materials.

I’ll be back with another guide to help you in the future.

Thank you.
