how do you guys choose where to go first

[snuggleform]

For sake of ease, let's forget modifiers to regions don't exist, for the moment.

Once you pick your team, which zone do you prefer to do first and why? If you are for example a blight heavy team, do you choose to just do the Faetor first (heavily blight resistant) and get it over with before the elites start showing up, or do you choose to do Faetor last once you have accumulated enough gear to overcome their strength to blight?

Usually Tangle or Sprawl, those have the easiest lair bosses, unless I'm farming candles, in this case I would choose the region goal with the better candle reward.

I always do Tangle first I just find it easier when does first and I find Sprawl easier when done second.

Do you always try to clear every lair boss? If so what team do you find that can consistently clear Tangle or Sprawl as the first region without losses?

Not always, I do not care about lairs if I'm farming candles. Clearing all lairs do give a hefty candle bonus, but it takes a bit too much time and it is somewhat risky and I often have to neglect the region goal in order to clear a lair. Clearing 2 or less lairs is not worth it just for the candles. If I want a chance against the confession boss, clearing all lairs can help immensely with trinkets, relics and baubles tho.

Frankly I choose heroes based on their quirks and I do not try to decide my tactics right at the start, trinkets, aquired quirks, even stagecoach items and combat items can have so much impact it would be really hard to force a specific tactic throughout the whole run so I just work with what I get. So far it seems to me that almost any combination of heroes is viable as long as you have the unlocks for them, but sometimes I do feel sprawl/tangle boss would be too risky for my current team as a first lair boss and I try another region.

This is one of the smartest pieces of advice- you don't realize until many run throughs that because the 'stuff' you get each run is so random you are better off to adapt to what you have than stick to something you want to do. The game is always going to give you lemons, whether you can turn that into lemonade or not is the game

Honestly at this point there only two factors I follow once I make a team.

1) Once team is made I already know which lair boss I want to take out. I will try to avoid going to that region right away and save it if possible for second or third.

2) The most important that basically overrules everything, what the region gives. I know you said no factors but that just what I do. See what I need most and see if the condition is favorable and then go there.

However lets say there is a case where the conditions are not what I like on both options and lair boss already been slain, then I will likely go to sprawl or tangle, both are not too hard if you know what to avoid.

i only do lairs on the final map before the mountain since if u dont have lair keys u cannot access the boss. with that being said i do the earlier levels first generally bcuz ive already killed there lair bosses and they feel like much easier zones.

[The Face]

In order

1. Fantasitc reward
2. Safest Route
3. Whatever, bother choices are meh

But yeah, remember lair bosses. Most teams can fight leviathan with some set up, a lot can do librarian with some set up, and general needs the right team/set up

Whichever area has what I guess will have the easiest lair boss (normally that's the librarian).
