Guild Conquest

Guild Conquest Guide

Rumii's route treats Guild Conquest as a timing fight: basic attack early, save the orb drops, then summon Shadower when the boss defense buff starts slowing the run. Collect the saved orbs during that window and dodge boss skills so the burst is not cut short.

Adapted from Rumii's Guild Conquest Discord notes. Source references are listed at the bottom for review.

Setup

Start with Shadower main and save the orb drops.

Rumii's Discord guide uses Shadower as the main companion because Guild Conquest turns on a boss defense buff during the run. Shadower removes buffs from the target, so a Unique Shadower can beat a low-level Legendary companion that only adds damage. The stun orbs are part of this setup: save them so they can be collected after Shadower is summoned.

Timing route

Basic attack early, then strip the defense buff.

Unlike Guild War, Guild Conquest does not use a fixed time reset. Each boss kill adds time, so the early phase can be basic attacks. Once the later boss starts stacking defense under its HP bar, summon Shadower to remove the buff, collect the saved orbs, then spend the burst window.

Opening Hold skills and orbs while the early boss kills are still clean.
Step 1 Watch for the defense buff under the boss HP bar once damage starts slowing.
Step 2 Summon Shadower first so the buff removal is active before the orb burst.
Step 3 Collect the saved orbs after Shadower is in, then use skills during the burst window.

Dodge checks

Dodging is a damage check, not just a survival check.

Getting hit reduces Final Damage, so a clean dodge can be worth more than it looks. Watch the boss attack landing point, move out before it connects, then resume the Shadower and orb sequence.

Artifacts

Reference the Guild Conquest artifact chart.

Use the Guild Conquest artifact route from the Artifact and Relic guide as the starting point. Rumii's companion route also mentions Hexagon Necklace as worth bringing when your run lasts long enough for its stacks to matter.

* Book of Ancient is ranked high because it helps cap Crit Rate, but it is less effective once you already reach 100% Crit Rate without it.

Checklist

Retest the timing before changing the whole build.

  1. Start with Shadower main. Use Shadower for buff removal unless a score test proves a higher-level companion wins.
  2. Save the first orb drop. If the run can continue safely, leave it so another orb can still appear later.
  3. Summon before collecting orbs. Shadower first, then collect the saved orbs and use skills during the burst window.
  4. Dodge boss attacks. Getting hit reduces Final Damage, so missed dodges lower the burst window.
  5. Record score after timing changes. Guild Conquest timing changes can feel small but still alter the final boss count.
