any tips for the strengthen tree?

I never know what it best to upgrade in it. I am struggling with the final boss of the wizards competition and I feel like if I had the right load-out I could probably win. last time I got them down to 25% health and they used some attack that almost killed me and then they killed me with their next attack. I think if I put like 60 points into regen and then like 60 into max health I might have won seeing as a good portion of the match I was silenced. yes I had the silence charm equipped which did help but was not quite enough.

Also I was using the lightning school as I figured I could get more attacks off before being silenced but maybe I should use a different school? I would use darkness but the game wont let you participate in the contest if you do.

Generally, the secret to that part of the fight is:

- Yes, have the silence charm
- Also have high defense and decent HP
- When he does Big Bang, use a stun
- When he does Critical Injury, take the hit and immediately use health potions.

High level alchemy and protection both help. Alchemy unlocks more healing potions and defense boosting potions that you should reapply immediately when dispelled, and protection unlocks a spell that saves you from lethal damage once. All of these things should be quickbar'd and used at the appropriate time mid fight, etc.

If I was to recommend a perfect strengthen stat split for that one particular fight, it would be Defense + Dodge. As long as you have L48 Alchemy and play it safe, you should be fine winning it with the slow and defensive approach.

ok thanks. I have all the other upgrades in the alchemy tree but I still need to unlock the protection from lethal damage one.

Max attack speed and equip thunder whip with stun belt, critical is nice with potion and high level alchemy you can get 50% critical

I beat that boss by just having 120%+ dodge. Only had to worry about stopping the Big Bang, and occasionally dispelling if my Illusion spells got silenced so I could keep Blur up.
