Ash Echoes – Joint Training Supreme Alter Guide

Hey everyone, here’s our short guide for the 360% difficulty for Supreme Altar. This is NOT a speedrunning guide so do not expect a high level of damage optimization, but instead a collection of tips and advice that were useful to us when clearing the encounter for the first time.

The team used in this guide, to put things into perspective:

Dupes are only relevant to increase the damage and do not affect the survival side of the strategy much, as Longqing was barely used and her dupe is the one that would improve survivability.

Here are the important things to look out for:

• The Fire Zones reduce the damage the enemies take, so it’s crucial to bring Water/Ice zones to quickly remove all the fire environment from the bottom half of the map, as well as throughout the fight. Sambheka is extremely good at clearing the entire bottom half of the map with her Ult, so consider bringing her even if you swap her out and never use her again after her Ult;

• Lots of Healing: if you’re not spamming Barriers to cancel most of the hard hitting moves of the statues you’re going to need to keep your Echomancers above 50% HP or your Terminal will take damage alongside your units, and during the burst skills of the enemies that could one shot your Terminal;

• Speaking of Barriers, you want at least one reliable Barrier user if not two: Meteors, Volleys of green flames and the Sand tornadoes can all be stopped by sufficiently strong Barriers, so bring a unit like Luke/Longqing to mitigate the damage without having to move out of the way all the time; The TRM skill to pop an extremely resilient Barrier for 30sec is also a blessing, so don’t hesitate to spend one of your skill uses on it;

• Having the Main skill of the Memory Trace ‘Emptiness’ can also be very valuable to fully recover from the powerful [Salvation] that reduces your Echomancers’ HP to 10%. Thea’s Immortal Spirit and Ultimate can also deal with this mechanic, so bring her to the fight for the first HP bar of Berhnu, the left-side statue;

• Ugaz possesses enormous damage reduction from all Echomancers who are not currently affected by his signature skill, the [Judgmental Curse]. Any Echomancer bearing this curse is one shot after 15sec if their effective HP is under 50% (This means current HP% + personal Shield). Once you’ve gotten rid of Berhnu, charge your Ults and take your time until your nuker gets the mark before unleashing your own retribution upon the old sentinel;

• Characters like Feng and Lorelle (and Corrosion team in general) can also burst both Bosses at the same time with their nukes, Feng needs to be put in melee range of one of the statues (preferably Berhnu) while Lorelle simply needs to activate her Ult before your nuker starts bursting.
