Chapter 28: The Edge of Ascension

Objective: Defeat Empyrean

Empyrean has nine special buffs, corresponding to the crystals evenly spaced in the level. As you might guess, if you destroy a crystal then that buff is dispelled and he becomes easier to defeat. Thus you should send units in all directions to destroy the crystals as quickly as possible. You can also try to leave a high fortitude tank in his range, if you want to prevent him from taking some other units out.

Once you shatter his crystals your team should make short work of Empyrean. I tended to trap him with four high fortitude characters while shooting with a sniper from 3 squares away & using multiple healers to keep my team going. You also can use a dodge tank if you have been boosting someone’s speed or give someone with 200 accuracy Kitara’s Chord and now you have a dodge tank.

A bonus challenge might be to try and beat him without destroying any of the crystals or see how many crystals you have to destroy to be able to beat him. Either way, congrats! You’ve done it!
