I've tried reading the threads that exist but I cannot figure out how to defeat this big bird bully >:(
I typically used earth/air/light but do have an almost full ranked water

any help with this unfriendly bird would be appreciated

Questions:
> What ranks are your Training Grounds, Temple of Light, and Trading Post?

> What strategy are you currently using? Figure I might ask this to see if anything immediately jumps out as where it might be going wrong for you

> Just checking, party is Penne/Cavatappi/Atlas?

Training Grounds is rank 4 (need 20 more bricks then itll be rank 5)
ToL is rank 5
Trading Post is rank 5

I've been hitting the nytes with my earth for taunt and smacking Aykois with the other 2. Blocking on full mana
Using the superior ent flasks, lights renewal, and TG bonus

and yes, party is penne/cavatappi/atlas

Okay,
Have ToL's buff active, TG big boss buff active, and ent flasks of your choice in level

> have all pets hit Aykios (I sometimes hit his female nyte with earth on turn 1 just because, but other than that, just hit Aykios until...)
> when Aykios is about 60-80 mana, swap earth to slot 3. Keep hitting him.
> at 100 mana, he will either hit one of your pets with a Target, or he won't (it seems to depend on how much damage is dealt before that point in the very first span up to 100 mana). If he
Doesn't: He will be doing it starting in the second round (so not the first stretch up to full mana, but the second, then he won't on the third, but he will again on the fourth)
Does: he'll be doing in this first round, then the third, then the fifth etc.
Basically, he does it every second round, determining which he starts doing it be damage in the very first round
Which pet he Targets is not affected by Taunt. He will tend to aim at slot 3, or slot 2 (which is annoying, you just have to make the best of it really). He will not put the Target on slot 1.
> swap Earth back to slot 1

> Stop attacking Aykios. Now you aim at the birds. Note they both have two more buffs on them- you want to hit the birds until those disappear. Try not to hit Aykios until then.

> Remember to Block on max mana

> Repeat, keeping track of what round it is so you know when to play pet hot potato.

> You are trying to take the HP of the three of them down roughly evenly. You want them to go down in quick succession of each-other, as Aykios gets stronger if a bird goes down, and the birds get stronger if Aykios goes down.

> When you use your M5s is up to you, when you think it'll help you most

Thanks Scath! You always manage to make it make sense to me haha

Made an error but got everyone down to 20% first try with this!
