So I've been battling bosses there and I either lost my pets or i run away these are the pets I'm using

any chance you could link the pets? those are just images, and you have a lot of stables that don't really denote where to look to find party pets, so I can't check their setups easily.

> Not much to say on shadow tank, I don't use shadow tanks, but should be fine for most of the grove (though later you obviously would want to upgrade gear and such) just down to ranking

> Light has a much more light tank setup than light healer. Light healers are most often proffed 3int/3dex at 75 (for the crit chance on beam/fairy light) with any combination of lightbringer and pyromancer gear (pyro's the more common for most of the grove, up until the Crypt)

> fire having 2hp profs is Very unusual. Fire's almost always 3int/3dex at 75 for the highest damage output possible

(some people do like having an hp prof on non-tank pets, but it's uncommon, and not as necessary on pets with higher base HPs since they get a much larger level bonus boost than low base HP pets)


LG bosses, knowing the strategies is a big part. Gotta pay attention, particularly with unranked and/or low-level pets

Any of the bosses in particular the issue, or all of them?

Malf > can't help with him much because mostly it's just 'hit him and his rikkis a bunch'. There's probably some nuance in the fight somewhere but it's been a long time since I needed it if there is

Oaky > like with the ents, you just gotta keep an eye out for his buff appearing, since you're using a shadow tank. Using shadow, you might want to keep Taunt on him using hateful strike so you can be sure he'll aim at the tank when he does use it so only one pet needs to block. His helpers aren't noteworthy, but you could use them to build some fire damage. Overall he's just a very chunky and defensive ent

Eleane > like with the captains, at max mana she uses her Vanish move. I suggest hateful strike to taunt the turn before she hits max mana so only the tank needs to block during the vanish turns.
Focus on the healers while she's Vanishing, since you can't hit her. Optional to go after her or them first, just gotta find which works for you.

those are the forest bosses, at any rate
