We will be going through the monolith from beginning to end and will be providing you with the exact strategies that you can use. So, you can be the best player.

Initial Preparations and Team Composition

Alright, before we even think about setting foot on the battlefield, let's talk about the critical first step: preparation! Choosing the right team and equipping them appropriately can be the difference between a triumphant victory and a frustrating defeat. Now, for the Monolith, you'll need a well-rounded team, focusing on a balance of damage, support, and survivability. Seriously, guys, this is not a one-man show.

Firstly, for damage, you'll want at least one strong damage dealer, someone who can dish out serious hurt. Think characters with high attack stats and abilities that can target single enemies effectively. Characters like these can make your gameplay a lot easier.

Next up, support! A good support character is essential. They're the ones keeping your team alive, boosting your stats, and generally making your life easier. Look for characters with healing abilities, buffs, and debuff skills. These are your lifesavers, and you don’t want to be going in without them.

Don’t forget about a tank. A tank is like the body armor of your team. Their job is to absorb damage, protect the squishier members of your party, and draw enemy attention. They are a must-have for this expedition. Their high health and defense stats are going to be super important for you.

When equipping your team, pay close attention to their gear and skills. Make sure they have the right equipment for their roles. For your damage dealer, focus on attack-boosting gear. For your support character, aim for gear that boosts healing and buffs. And for your tank, stack up on health and defense. Make sure that your team's skills complement each other. Synergies are key. For instance, a character that can apply a debuff to an enemy can make them more vulnerable to your damage dealer's attacks. So, pick characters with a good mix of attack styles.

Navigating the Monolith: Phase 1

Alright, you've got your team ready to go. Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of the Monolith itself. Phase 1 is all about understanding the enemy types and the layout of the environment.

As you enter, take a moment to assess the situation. Observe the enemies, their attack patterns, and their weaknesses. Make mental notes of the environmental hazards. These can be used to your advantage. Try to take out any enemies that are targeting your supports and other squishy characters. Let your tank hold their attacks while you take out the squishier units. Focus on eliminating the immediate threats first, as the enemies will continue to attack you at the same time. This will give you more breathing room to strategize and plan your next move.

Enemy Types and Weaknesses

Be prepared to face a variety of enemies, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some enemies might be resistant to certain damage types. Others may have special abilities that can inflict status effects. Now, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Take the time to analyze their weaknesses, and then adjust your strategy. If an enemy is resistant to physical attacks, switch to using magical attacks. If an enemy has a status effect, try to remove it.

Keep an eye on the environment. The Monolith's layout is not a straight line, so make sure to take advantage of any environmental hazards. Use any cover that you can find. Use the environment to get in a better position on your enemies.

Phase 2: Mastering Combat Strategies

Now we get into the heart of the action! Phase 2 is where your combat skills will be tested. Proper execution of your strategy is crucial to success. Proper teamwork is also essential for moving forward.

Let's get this straight: there is no button mashing! Before each battle, make a plan. Decide which enemies to prioritize, what skills to use, and how to position your team. Communication is going to be key, even if you are just playing on your own. Remember, a good plan will always have flexibility. Expect the unexpected. Enemies often have different abilities, so stay on your toes.

Prioritization and Target Selection

First things first: target the enemies that pose the greatest threat to your team, usually those that can deal a lot of damage or inflict negative status effects. Keep your eyes on the supports; taking them out early can make a huge difference. If an enemy is buffing another enemy, take them out, too.

Skill Usage and Timing

Timing is everything. Using your skills at the right moment can be the difference between victory and defeat. Don't waste your skills; use them when they will have the greatest impact. Use your support skills to heal your allies. Use your damage skills to hit multiple enemies. Do not be afraid to use your skills at the beginning of the battle, because they can turn the tides of combat.

Resource Management

Keep an eye on your resources. Do not use everything right away. If you are struggling, don’t be afraid to take a defensive approach, and save your resources for a better moment. Make sure to have enough supplies so you can get through the Monolith. Take all the items, because they might be helpful later.

Boss Battle: Strategies for Success

Here it is, the moment of truth. You’ve fought your way through waves of enemies, and now you stand face-to-face with the Monolith's ultimate challenge. This boss battle requires a different approach. You will need to bring your A-game.

Boss Abilities and Attack Patterns

Before you do anything else, you must understand the boss's abilities and attack patterns. Watch their attacks. The boss has their own set of skills, and you need to get familiar with them.

Take your time. Observe how the boss attacks, and recognize its patterns. Identify any periods of vulnerability. Knowing when the boss is going to unleash its most devastating attacks is going to be key. You must adapt and learn, too.

Team Coordination and Execution

Communication and coordination are absolutely vital during this battle. You will need your team working like a well-oiled machine. Make sure to have a dedicated tank that absorbs most of the damage. Make sure your support is keeping your team alive. And, of course, your damage dealers will be doing damage.

Strategic Skill Usage

Use your skills at the right moment. The boss is going to have its weaknesses, so be sure to use skills that hit these weak spots. Save your best skills for when you can maximize their effect. Again, timing is key.
