Sadly my Azaka is full blue, so it will never be comparable...
The champions that most people used are not full epic for me, just Calliope and Celeste are.
I'm not sure why everyone used Kthriss, what's special about it for this mission?

So I seem to be stuck at this missions too... I wish I knew about this mission when they reworked the champions of the hall and activated those weekend buffs, because I'm using champions of the hall to try it up.

I have e17 favor and up to zone 200 my dps was 1e65... but when I stepped through the zone 200's boss, to zone 201, my dps dropped to e58, and suddenly I stopped to kill entirely.
I threw in all the potions I could, and raised back to e60, but I still couldn't kill anything (usually e60 is ok after zone 200, I can't tell why in this variant it isn't).

So now I'm back to zone 199 and 5 members, threw in several gold potions to grind more champions' levels and I hope to get at least to e62 by upgrades... but I still doubt e62 will be enough and I have no idea how some people managed with that much.
I will probably have to babysit this variant by switching characters to debuff mobs for the next 25 zones, unless someone can add up some suggestions.

My formation at the moment is Calliope (full purple), Regis (sadly his buff is blue), Bruenor (full purple), Drizzt (almost full purple), Walnut (mostly blue, but quite OP still).
After zone 200, it would be Regis, Bruenor, Drizzt, Walnut.

I tried switching Wulfgar instead of Calliope and Walnut, but my dps drops, same for Catti-brie.

I made it by debuffing mobs with Warden and with Gromma as permanent tank.

I did this last week using Companions of the Hall with 8.22e20 / 821Q favor.

I think I over-favored, but jacking up my favor was always the goal before trying this again.

Final time was 3 and a half hours. No potions used because I didn't want to risk wasting them unless I was sure they would help me push this time.

I put in Azaka and Jarlaxle to do some grinding throughout, and a bit more through the last 9 or so stages to get a few more upgrades in.

I previously gave this 2 or 3 attempts a few months ago before letting it go, and I've since been putting all event and time gate favor into Torm hoping to brute force my way through it.

The Year 1 / Companions rebalance definitely helped, especially with gold.

Drizzt also happens to have 3 Shiny slots, somehow.

This was my last achievement until the latest 4 were added. It was also the day before feats were added.

Other general things that may help - more favor, weekend buffs, feats, potions, more time farming gold, going back to the beginning to pump up your BUD with a full formation, swapping in other heroes to mark the boss or enemies, manually using ults, etc.

Don't know if it would work without the weekend buffs.

It works, thank you for sharing

Wait until you try this variant with Patrons, you have to make it to level 350... so you only have 2 champions available.

I don't think the devs play tested all the variants with the the new Patron limitations and increased goal requirements.

Oh well.

Assuming I only have the basic champions up to Drizzt and unlocked those from the last three events (Feast of the Moon, Liar's Night and HighHarvestide), which formation would you recommend for this at the end?

Game says this is "easy" with a little under 7.00t Favor. But only four characters at the end...

[Fred]

(most heroes are at least full blue geared, a few purples here and there)

Forget about it. The difficulty estimation only regards the possibility to reach that given area with an average full-sized team.

Come back in a year and don't mind this mission until then.

[Mobile Doll Cordelia]

Completing this is a bit of a joke now. Go back to an area where you still have a (mostly) full team, allow your main DPS to register a large enough hit that updates your BUD, go back to your wall and progress with ultimates and/or a potion of fire breath and familiars on the field. Your BUD will start to degrade after 15 seconds but you only have to repeat what you did and refresh it.

Gladly :D Thanks for the warning.

[Phantom]

Not gunna look to see if others did this

but just use a fire potion... problem solved, clears as easily as any other one for that area

pop down to where you have a nearly full crew, tag a hit, pop back, push 5-10 levels, repeat eventually it might slow down just means you do it more often

Thanks to BUD, all you have to do is go back to level 1 and power it up, go back to latest level and advance while BUD decays.
Then repeat.
If your BUD is high enough you can progress even with 0 dps.

Nice, this formation worked for me like a charm, and I even managed to finish "On the Hunt" without using any potions or going back and forth to push the BUD (I'm at about 7e19 favor btw.).
So thanks for sharing!
