Chronomancer: . You shouldn't apply Fear or Taunt to the golem when playing with Dueling. This applies to Support Chronomancer, DPS Chronomancer and Mirage.

For all other classes feel free to apply all conditions to the Golem.

Power based DPS classes are strong at Vale Guardian due to the low Toughness.

Classes like Power Soulbeast, Power Daredevil, Dragonhunter and Power Holosmith are still extremely strong at Vale Guardian.

Deadeye provides extremely high single target DPS and has that can be used to help break Vale Guardian and the Green Guardian.

We recommend Chaos - Inspiration as this will buff the Deadeyes due to .

Vulnerability is provided by the Condition Holosmiths and Power Holosmith which allows your Druid to take an extra spirit.

The Condition Holosmiths are brought to help speed up the Red Guardian during the split phase due to the needed condition damage.

Dragonhunter, Guardian, Renegade and Weaver also make suitable replacements as DPS classes.

You can run Healing Druid if you are struggling with Scholar uptime in the final phase.

Holosmiths bring Vulnerability for both Gorseval and the split adds. It also provides a decent amount of CC and solid boss DPS.

If you don't want to stack Scourges, there are a lot of other classes that perform extremely well here.

Power Deadeye, Power Daredevil, Power Holosmith and Condition Holosmith do very high boss DPS but, overall, slightly underperform compared to the Scourge composition.

Scourge stacking is amazingly strong here and will carry groups due to the high DPS and barrier application.

In this setup the Condition Soulbeast should take cannons 1 - 3 and the Condition Banner Berserker cannons 2 - 4. With this setup it is possible to skip the southern cannon.

As no classes rely on multiple boons this allows your Chronomancers to play Dueling - Illusions instead. The Chronomancer who is in the same subgroup as the Condition Banner Berserker should play Dueling - Inspiration. This is to provide more boons to the Berserker as they will be off doing cannons more and will likely drop boons otherwise.

You can replace the Dragonhunter with another Daredevil to take the second shroom.

This composition requires the Chronomancers to provide Stability to negate the Fear. If you are struggling with this, then you can swap a Daredevil for a Dragonhunter to provide more reliable Stability.

If you are going to swap out any DPS classes make sure it is from the Power Warrior group. Replacements could be a Power Holosmith or Power Soulbeast.

Daredevil provides high boss DPS and decent CC for the breakbar phases through .

Two Mirages should take and and third Mirage should take .

Your Berserker can run with the Discipline trait line instead of Tactics as you have no power DPS classes to benefit from .

Holosmith provides extremely high boss DPS and also provides Vulnerability when the adds approach Keep Construct. Use as the adds approach to instantly give them Vulnerability.

You can take a Healing Druid instead of a Condition Druid if you are struggling with keeping your party up. You can also take to help with Protection uptime.

You can take Power Daredevil instead of a Holosmith. The Daredevil has a stolen skill called Soul Stone Venom which cleanses conditions from everyone in your squad. This can be a lifesaver while also buffing the Power Daredevil.

You can swap out Condition Engineer for Condition Holosmith instead or with Renegade.

Deadeye provides extremely high boss DPS for this encounter and this is its sole purpose.

By playing Daredevil, it allows your Chronomancers to play very aggressively with lower Boon Duration than normal. This is because of the stolen skill Detonate Plasma that will supply Quickness, amongst all other boons apart from Alacrity, to your squad. So overall, this means your Chronomancers can play Dueling - Illusions.

By running Daredevil with Detonate Plasma, you will happily cover Fury for the entire squad meaning that Condition Banner Berserker can take instead of .

Condition Engineer is there for the high boss DPS, providing Vulnerability and for the extra conditions that help buff the Deadeyes due to .

You can add another Condition Holosmith in the Power Warrior subgroup instead of a Deadeye.

One Condition Druid has enough healing for an organised party.

If at 25% the Condition Druid gets selected by the Eye of Janthir, the Hand Kiter will need to keep his Tablet on the squad to make sure they survive.

High DPS groups will be able to play Chaos - Inspiration here on their Chronomancers. If this is the case, then Fury will be covered. If not, you need to think about how you will provide Fury in Group 2. This could be from the Chronomancer proactively using Skill #2 on or the Condition Banner Berserker could take .

Deadeye is extremely strong here, especially during the opening burst while Unnatural Signet is up.

Holosmith is taken for instant Vulnerability application during the splits.

If you struggle to survive, you can take a second Druid. With a second Healing Druid, one can be responsible for pushing and the other for healing the group.

Power classes are generally very weak on this boss due to the high constant damage which will cause you to have low scholar uptime. Any condition classes work well here, specifically Renegade or Condition Engineer.

You need to make sure that you can push the Tormented Dead away before they get destroyed by . Try not to CC the Tormented Dead when they are close to your squad.

Your Berserker can run with the Discipline trait line instead of Tactics as you have no power DPS classes to benefit from .

In this setup, the Condition Banner Berserker should take the first green, the off Chronomancer the second green and the Druid should take the third green.
