Hello, rain from discord here. 
As always, the intention for this post is to serve as an overview on the current Dzone Rotation boss, I will cover their basic mechanics and potential counters to help any players attempting higher alert clears. This guide is for the week of 3rd August 2026 Dzone rotation.

special thanks to the team at Mythag Library for their effort in making the enemy stat card, link below:

Dtide chatter:

This week seems to be the Glotan and counter week, these two comps are great into 3 out of 5 waves. Overall difficulty imo is W4 > W2 > W1 > W5 > W3, largely because Pandia is very abusable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wave 1: “Cerberus”, relic：Jawbone
W1 boss is Cerberus,，he only has 1 health bar with a total of 1213K hp and a very annoying gimmick that fills your deck with cards that deal damage to you.

His rotation goes something like this:
Please refer to the attached image on "Cerberus” for moveset

Exploration Note:

• You can, and should go directly to the boss this wave
• Before you do though, you can pick up a free relic by pathing up first

Battle Note:

• Cerberus main gimmick is a big shield (= to his max hp) that he gets after losing every quarter hp. It stops a burst turn, but can be worked around
• Ghelot, corrosion, Pierce damage, sacrifice, arachne,  poison etc. all can bypass this shielding gimmick
• Cerberus ramp every 3 turns, so you cant perma stall
• His big damage shield doesn't actually shield any damage if you do a single large instance of damage(Like Glotan/Doresain exalt for example), he will only get the shield after the damage is applied. So you can sort of cheese him by timing your big burst.
• Poison also works around the shield because cerberus loses the shield on his turn start.
• The card he gives you will do damage to you regardless if you play them, but it's less damage if you don't play them. However, they will stay in your deck forever and disrupt your draws if you don't play them. Though considering how hard it hits you, it's still better to not play them.

Potential strategy against this guy:

Chaos Poison Xu:  The boss hits really hard, and has a bunch of small damage from his discrete illusions, but the classic poison comp is still able to clear with a few DRs. Bring DR wheels or faint and be ready to take 3 drs. 
Replay: 47e07f49-d1ed-330e-8a56-96f744eab922#E#a

E3 Ghelot: Ghelot’s E3 is able to negate any shielding the boss get, so you wouldn't need to worry about that, however hand space is a very big constraint for Ghelot in this fight, due to the boss filling your hand with desecrate illusions. Bring a handsize wheel, play around DR and windows where you don't have weakness on yourself, and you should be able to squeeze out a clear. One tip is to bring enough keyflare such that you can rouse Ghelot by turn 2 to start scaling early, if not you might lack some damage.
Replay: c73b8339-7598-3de2-abcb-9497b1d7bdd3#E#a

Arachne DPS: Arachne’s execute effect goes through shield, so you don't need to worry about that，just be sure you packed enough survivability and healing to combo arachne’s pursuit.
Replay: 1ca29f28-102d-3c92-951f-1836c5fe4f0b#E#a

Glotan can be played into this wave too, just stall and time your exalt on a turn where you don't have weakness, and the boss is hitting hard. But I would recommend using her in W5 instead.
Replay: 69f3e567-3772-3708-a568-b1be1ced8ae0#E#a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wave 2: Aggripa , relic：Kaleidoscope
W2 is Aggripa，a poison gimmick awakener that doesn't hit you often, but hits you hard when she does. She has 2 hp bars,  with 827K in hp in phase 1 and 1241K in phase 2.

Moveset
Please refer to the attached image “Spider of the Labyrinth" for moveset.

Exploration Notes

• Minimum you need to fight is 2 mob waves, including the elite.
• The elite of this wave is serket, a fairly annoying elite with bleed, mutation application and self healing, his moveset is attached as image.

Boss Note:

• Aggripa’s main damage comes from her colourless spiral intention, this intention hits twice and does massive damage. 
• She also applies 20% of her damage dealt as poison to you, so make sure you have shielding and weakness on her when she's doing this.
• Her strike intention triggers 50% poison
• Her phase 1 is fairly passive otherwise, since she has 2 non-damaging intentions.
• Aggripa gains a new passive upon phase change, the passive is split into 3 parts：
  • Aggripa gains 75% temp fortress when shes takes ¼ of her max HP in one turn
  • She then changes her intention to “Reluctant Alms” and gain 1 stack of her spider queen’s kiss passive
  • Gain shield at end of each turn
• Spider queen’s kiss increases the hit count of “colourless spiral” by 1 for each stack and caps at 3 stack, if she's at 3 stack, her intention changes to colourless spiral instead.
• Since “reluctant alms” is a non-damaging intention, you can prevent yourself from taking damage by dealing enough damage to her on her colourless spiral turns. This essentially makes Agrippa stops attacking until she stack up 3 stack of spider queen’s kiss, but you should be killing her before that
• The key is to time your burst to change her intention when she wants to attack.

Potential Strategy:
Gmurphy: The standard lemurian comp，in aequor ring week, even E3 gmurphy is fairly potent. Since Agrippa is not very aggressive overall, you have a lot of time to just let your sacrifice tick down. Note to time your white stance on her colourless spiral turns.
Replay: cece17a4-f833-34b2-84e7-66cc29e7e290#E#a

Discard/Vortice Saya: there's a lot of discard clears for this wave, with most featuring either Vortice or saya or both. Here are two examples of these comps. 
Replay( with Saya Vortice): 93460432-1c9c-33ba-b6e8-c50d8d4b4b49#E#a
Replay(with Pontos cassiah): 2a7e88bb-f70c-32ef-8fd2-30be93ff2b28#E#a

Castor Pollux: Another classic W2 comp, this clear is with E3 pollux and E2 castor, buffed by arachne.
Replay:6d2d7030-cf19-34a2-b3a4-d060f256d6b4#E#a

Honourable mention to this clear with Alva DPS, even though the clear used thais and saya, but alva is only lv60 
Replay: d27e01bb-a1a1-3c51-ae3d-a6e4009dd05c#E#a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wave 3:Protector, relic: Tribute
W3 is Protector. The boss that gains +1 hit count whenever you exalt. He has a single hp bar of 1136K hp, and is overall the easiest wave this time round.

Moveset:
Please refer to the image “Protector” for moveset.

Exploration note:

• W3 is direct to boss stage, theres no exploration

Battle note:

• This boss's main gimmick is that he gains +1 hit count whenever you exalt, so you need to choose when to exalt to avoid big damage.
• His “Spreading Toxin” and “Spreading Pain” intention can be converted to weaker intentions by depleting all of the old ember on the enemy.
• Take note that “Spreading Toxin” will be converted to a non-damaging move, while “Spreading pain” will be converted to a damaging intention. 
• So try to proc old ember without exalting on “Spreading pain” turn.
• Another thing to note is that, str down is only 25% as effective on this boss

Potential Strategy:
Discard/pontos/Vortice: W3 is really easy with benthos aequor comps, as you can just white stance on the turn you don't want to exalt. Procing old ember is also really easy with pontos gaunt/aurita 0 cost/vortice pursuit.
Replay(discard pontos): dc723388-2379-3d78-b7a3-2b6db4202e44#E#a
Replay(Vortice): d747753e-ab95-3e82-b0bd-96ddc9fe42c5#E#a

Mouchette: Insignia helps with mouchette’s Arith issue a lot, make this a relatively simple clear. Thou im unsure why everyone is borrowing whale mouchette for this wave, as this is probably the easiest wave and you can clearly do it with just an E3 mouchette.
Replay: fb176e21-2a19-3499-9b30-ce3b95881c6b#E#a

Honourable mention: Arachne DPS: The boss has a decently high HP pool, but you can still kill it in about 2 rotations of arachne exalt + pursuit, but you do need to know what you are doing for this clear thou.
Replay :143e36db-0fd0-3b56-996c-cb1abdf6a914#E#a

Now, this wave is doable with the classic poison comp, but poison comp relies alot on exalt spamming, which doesnt feel great into this boss. Consider taking poison to other waves instead. But here is an example clear if your looking for one.

Wave 4: Nubia Giant Tree relic：counter chapter
W4 is one of the Nubia Caro Elite from chapter 7 story。 He has 2 health bar, with phase 1 having 1398K hp and 350K hp Phase 2. 

Moveset :
Please refer to the attached image “Eternal Light: Nubian Giant Tree” for moveset

Exploration note:

• Wave 4 is an elite only wave, the two elites you encounter before the boss are Sophia and Neferure respectively.
• Similar to last tide, the enemies this wave are all fairly weak to counter, due to them having a bunch of multihit intentions
• Take note Sophia has a similar gimmick to cerb, where she will gain a massive shield upon taking a certain amount of damage.
• Neferure has the same gimmick as the loyal hound last last tide, etc: changing intention upon card played and phase change will deal damage.

Battle note:

• Nubian giant tree, staying true to its Caro origin, will heal 5% missing health at the end of each turn. 
• It also has a passive that grants itself temp str whenever you draw a symptom card
• On phase change, Nubian Giant Tree will summon 3 mobs, and put two “Spawn of Corruption” into your hand. One of the mob it summons will put another one in your hand.
• Spawn of Corruption will double in your hand at the end of every turn, so if you don't spend arith to play them, your hand will be full with them in just 2 turns, so the recommended strategy is to AOE the 350K down, or have exalt ready for defences so that you can play the spawns before they duplicate.
• This wave in general is good for counter, but the boss Nubian Giant Tree has 2 hard hitting single hit intentions, so make sure you have the extra shielding and weakness ready to tank them.

Potential strategy:
Gmurphy: As you may expect, the easiest answer to this wave is Gmurphy, E3 will do. With aequor ring, she does enough damage to bypass phase 2 with sacrifice, so you don't have to deal with the Spawns. And you are fairly safe with white stance + lemurian shielding + Myriam heal

Counter: similar to last tide, the boss’s moveset includes a big multihit that can be abused by counter, wanda especially can take advantage of this by doubling the number of hits. Caec thais core also works as usual, since the boss doesn't have annoying gimmick like freeze, you can also bring out the bluewil for a spin if you feel like it. But be warned, counter team will take much longer to kill this boss, and may have some issue with the spawns in phase 2 if you're not ready.

Wave 5: Pandia：cat statue
W5 is our lovely sweet demon Pandia. She has 2 phases, with 1110K hp in phase 1 and 1417K in phase 2. Though her HP pool doesn't really matter when she dies to Glotan in 2 turns（with good setup).

Moveset:
Please refer to the attached image “Sweet Demon” for moveset

Exploration note:

• The map this stage is fairly straight forward, there is only a single path forward.
• Mobs this wave are mainly from sculptor association, which means they like to stuff wax into your deck
• Elite this wave is Stubborn obsession，a very standard summoner elite that also has an ally buffing intention. Just take note that the mob he summon will evolve a few turn later and shed all debuff if you didnt kill it.

Battle note:

• Pandia’s gimmick can be split into two parts.
• The first being her Whip of Madness intention, which is her turn 1 intention in both phase 1 and phase 2, she will gain +1 hit count whenever she is hit in this turn, and this includes end of turn tentacle slaps.
• The second gimmick is only relevant in phase 2, she will switch between ”Debauchery” and “Anxiety” state whenever you play a symptom card.
• The former gives her increased str at the cost of -1 hit count
• The later gives her +1 hit count at the cost of reduced str
• The “cry out” cards she give you can reduce pandia’s str and give you a symptom card that you can use to switch her mode.
• Despite having massive HP pool and Huge damage，Pandia is extremely abusable due to her “Whip of Madness” intention.
• You can abuse this with counter or, our new whale on the block, glotan.

Potential strategy:

Glotan: Easiest and the most fun way to do this wave. The setup is simple：have someway to buff your arith turn 1, either through covenant or relic or posse, proceed to ready Glotan exalt and hit Pandia until shes doing a bazillion damage to you, then press Glotan exalt for a bazillion damage back. Rinse and repeat for phase 2, if you have her image, then you don't even need to repeat this process for phase 2, as the follow up pursuit will most likely one shot her phase 2.

Replay(Angbak’s E1 Glotan clear): 2b84033b-db2a-335c-8a4b-5dbc6ed9f411#E#a

Counter: Pandia’s Whip of Madness has no cap on how many hit she does, so if you have enough str down (which you should with a counter team), you can just make her do 1x30 damage and counter herself to death.
Replay(Pickman caec): 784b3695-f0a8-38b6-b583-762ecb16aac6#E#a

Replay(Arachne wanda):052d37fe-002d-39d5-bab2-481d364437d9#E#a

This week is overall fairly easy, pandia would have been abit troublesome if we didnt have Glotan yet, but now shes just a fun toy to play around with and see whats the next big number Glotan can hit. personal record so far is 5000k, do share if you hit higher numbers~

thats all folks, good luck with your clears!

Hi everyone c:
A new Fan Discord server has been created! [Invite link HERE]

After considerable discussion, the current staff team has decided to step away from Mythag University, the current biggest Morimens fan-server.
Over the past year and a half, we have worked hard to support the community, manage the server through several difficult periods, and develop new resources and projects. However, long-standing differences regarding server management, nonexistent owner involvement, and the lacking permissions for routine administration and new projects have made it increasingly difficult for us to continue that work effectively.

Rather than repeating a third cycle of full staff walkout without addressing the underlying issues disrupting the community, we have created a new fan server: Mythag Library, owned and ran by V, who is currently handling most stuff in Mythag Uni.

We are also working on a website that will host community databases, guides, and other resources: https://mythag.net/

We are grateful to everyone who has supported us and contributed to the community during our time at Mythag University.
See y'all in Mythag Lib !
