Surviving the multiple Primordial Spirit hit squads after 4k+ reputation

[BobDinosaur]

Seriously, how? I am trying to get my Primordial Spirits in sect and these doom squads appear with 400K qi each and 2-3 artifacts per cultivator.

[BobDinosaur]

And the Merchant Union declared I was rude for allowing doom squads to kill them. Also no reputation hits for dead Outer disciples.

A decent body cultivator will make short work of those guys. The real problem are the stray artifacts that love to go after your outers. If you build a bell in each corner and ring it as soon as the hit squad attacks might reduce the casualties. But yeah, going against 20-40 artifacts is not fun at all

you need body cult early on to defend your sect/ kill divine beast before you can have decent qi/shendao that can do the same job or even better. If not you'll likely struggling fighting endless days of endless wave of intruders.

Well they beat my dog down and he had over 1.5 mil qi, so body is what I try next.

How far along do they need to be? I've got a couple of Primordial Unity Body cultivators who are rank v in the mixed element arms, maybe rank 3 in a couple of others, and have attacks of around 6000. They've been around a little bit but my impression is they'd be no match at all for an attack like that. Is that even close to what's needed?

Attacks seem to have no medium level. It's either something where you don't even need to disturb anyone's meditation or lunch, just use whoever isn't doing anything to crush them, or something cataclysmic.

You u need atleast 100k in 1 atk secret body an 100k def on another secret body. Preferably add baleful label on atk sb to increase qi penetration. Global dodge at least 80% or 95% which is even better. Ensure you atk accuracy is 95% and def sb 95% defense.

Btw, this can easily be done with just the basic essences (intrinsic, wraith, solar and lunar). If you are following a guide DO NOT build pastures for intrinsic essence. It's a trap. The most efficient way is to devour purity leafs.

While i wasnt so far in the game, that i could have such doomsquads (i try to play with lesser reputation), i have some cults, that could be a good match for them: Have ever tried artefact focussed cults, like the 2 metal ones or the earth one? They have many as well as strong artefacts, so you could at least block the artefacts of the enemies.

So the temporary solution was for all the inners to go on holiday while crazed cultists raze the place, then accept a bunch of temporary workers. Also cheat to cut sect reputation in half while I figure out secret bodies.
