The Simulated Universe is one of those game modes, where you will face an array of different enemies and rivals to defeat. During the fourth world, you will re-visit Jarilo-VI and its many foes, and face Svarog once again in a deadly match.
Possible Enemies In World Four
Throughout your journey across World Four, you will face different enemies thatbelong to the Fragmentum Monsters and Jarilo-VI enemy factions.While most of the stages in this world display foes of a minor rank and randomized events,there are certain fixed Elite enemies, and one particular Boss fight to keep in mind.
Tips and Abilities
This enemy capitalizes on inflicting extra damage if you’re afflicted with Wind Shear, an effect that can be triggered by any of his usual techniques.Wind-Twisting Crossbow and Windfall Stormform a combo that will deal extra damage to your party if they’re affected by the Wind Shear effect, sobringing someone who can mitigate damage or remove debuffs can be really helpful.
The Stormbringercan also summon Windspawns, but they’re not really difficult to slay.
The Frigid Prowler uses an array of Ice Damage moves that can inflict the Deep Freeze effect on your party, so you must be able to mitigate damage or remove debuffs to deal with it, as it will decrease your Speed.
The Frigid Prowlercan also summon Everwinter Shadewalkers, which aren’t difficult to defeat.
This robotwill inflict the Taunt effect on your party by using Enrage Order, conditioning them to attack it. This will be accompanied by a combo of moves called Overcombust Order and Purge Order, which will make the Automaton Grizzlyenter a Charge state, and then release a massive amount of Physical Damage in the next turn.
The Automaton Grizzlycan also summon Automaton Spiders, but those can be quickly beaten.
The Decaying Shadow has several attacks that will deal Imaginary Damage to your party members, but one of her most annoying techniques is not one of her offensive ones. Fleeting Veil, an ability that can annoyingly increase the length of the battle bymitigating damage, also has the possibility of imprisoning one of your characters.
When it uses Binding of the Golden Age,it will gain nine Gauge Recollection stacks before casting Liberation of the Golden Agethe next turn. It will lose one stack per successful attack against it, andthe resulting damage will depend on the number of stacks in its possession.

During the first phase of this fight, Svarog will start usingEmergency Support to employ the help of two Automaton Beetles and Automaton Hounds. While the band of little ones doesn’t really inflict that much damage,their damage as a group can catch you off guard, so it is advised to dispatch them as quickly as possible until Svarog’s first HP bar is depleted.
Once you advance to the second phase, he willuse Tactical Support and summon two Automaton Direwolvesinto the battlefield. These will inflict significantly more damage than the minor spawns in the last phase, and Svarog’s own attacks also aren’t something to scoff at, sohaving a balanced party becomes key since you will need someone who can heal or mitigate damageuntil you reach the final phase.
In the last phase, Svarog will use a really annoying technique calledBoost deployment, which will summon an Auxiliary Robot Arm unit.This specific unit can use a move calledOppressive Embrace,which will hinder your party really badlybycapturing one of your party members preventing them from doing anything.
Believe me, there’s nothing worse than losing one party member, even if it’s temporary, so your goal isto inflict break and destroy those robotic hands as fast as possibleuntil you can finally end Svarog.
Recommended Setup For World Four
The Svarog fight will not be like the main story, and youmust be prepared to face a way more powerful version of that foe.His Resistance to Quantum and Imaginary will render some of the most powerful DPS units in the roster useless, so you must pay close attention to the path you choose and the party you will assemble for this challenge.
It is strongly advised to bring a balanced party to this battle, as Svarog’s attack moves can pack a hard punch, inflicting huge Physical Damage. Doing a Tank + Healer + two DPS units composition is the way to go, as you should be able tomitigate and recover quickly, while also retaining your ability to damage Svarog consistently enough.
Given Svarog’s Weaknesses and Resistances, some of the best options are theTrailblazer from the Path of Preservationas the tank,Dan HengorHimekoas possible Main DPS units, andAstaorBronyaas supporting DPS units. For healing, the best option is, by far,Bailu, butdepending on your path of choice you can be adventurous and try to use a support unit instead, likeTingyun.
On the possible Path choices, there are three that honestly stand out more than the rest. Choosing Path of the Hunt will be beneficialif your approach to the combat is to invest in your party speed, so they can always hit first and as many times as possiblebefore your enemy can even figure out what’s going on.
Then, the Path of Nihility will be the bestif you choose units that can inflict great Damage over Time effects, like Burn and Wind Shear.And last, the Path of Abundance, while unlocked later on,will basically remove the need for a Healer unit in your partywith its many healing-related blessings, which will liberate an extra slot to invest in more DPS or Support units that can increase your party’s stats.
