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