Mastering the Frozen Plain Dungeon: Aldri

Welcome to another King Arthur: Legends Rise guide! Today, we’re diving into the basics of conquering the Frozen Plain Dungeon, specifically the battle against the frost bear, Aldri. Whether you’re a beginner or looking for tips to improve your team composition, this guide will help you understand the mechanics, key strategies, and team setups to clear this challenging stage.

Why the Frozen Plain Dungeon Matters

The Frozen Plain Dungeon is vital for advancing your relics, which are essential for powering up your heroes. To clear this dungeon effectively, understanding Aldri’s mechanics is critical, as this frost-element boss packs unique challenges.

Key Mechanics of Aldri

Aldri presents several unique hurdles:

1. Hibernation Recovery: Aldri periodically recovers a large amount of HP while hibernating. Use Recovery Disruption to block this regeneration before the boss wakes up.
2. Damage Scaling on Defense: Aldri’s damage scales with his defense, which increases as he takes damage. Use Defense Decrease effects to lower his defense-based attacks and mitigate his power.
3. Reduced Damage from DoTs: Damage-over-time effects like burning or freezing are 90% less effective against Aldri, so prioritize heroes with raw damage output over DoT mechanics.
4. Debuff Resistance: Aldri inflicts accuracy and effect resistance debuffs. A debuff remover can be helpful to keep your team functional during the fight.

Recommended Team Setup

To counter Aldri’s mechanics, your team should include heroes with Recovery Disruption, Defense Decrease, and strong healing support. Below are some effective hero options:

Core Hero Roles

1. Recovery Disruption:
   • Accolon (preferred): Reliable disruption from his second skill and easy to build.
   • Morgan (with the appropriate relic): Viable but harder to keep alive in higher stages due to elemental disadvantage.
2. Defense Decrease:
   • Arthur (Frost Relic): Consistently applies defense decrease, especially with the Frost relic.
   • Morgan Can apply defense decrease but struggles to survive in later stages without proper tanky gear.
3. Support and Debuff Cleansing:
   • Sarah: Excellent at healing, removing debuffs, and countering Aldri’s buffs with buff disruption.
   • Other Options: Heroes like Florentius or others with buff manipulation can also fill this role.

Optimal Builds for Key Heroes

• Stat Priority: Focus on accuracy for debuff-placing heroes (Recovery Disruption or Defense Decrease), speed to apply effects early, and survivability for support roles.
• Gear Suggestions:
  • Build tanky support heroes to withstand Aldri’s powerful defense-based attacks.
  • Equip DPS heroes with high ATK and critical damage stats.

Battle Strategy

1. Focus on Recovery Disruption: Prevent Aldri’s hibernation recovery by ensuring Recovery Disruption is applied before he goes to sleep. Timing is crucial.
2. Apply Defense Decrease Early: Make sure your Defense Decrease hero acts before your primary damage dealer to maximize damage.
3. Prepare for Debuffs: Aldri frequently applies debuffs like accuracy and effect resistance decrease. Counter these with a debuff remover like Sarah.
4. Manage Buffs: Use buff disruption effects to prevent Aldri from gaining additional defense increases during the battle.
5. Time Your Attacks: Aldri’s charge attack indicates an unprotected state. Capitalize on this window for maximum damage.

Example Team Compositions

Beginner-Friendly Team options:

• Accolon (Recovery Disruption)
• Sarah (Support/Healer)
• Arthur (Defense Decrease with Frost Relic)
• Morgan (Optional DPS with Defense Decrease)

Advanced Team options:

• Florentius (Recovery Disruption)
• Sarah (Support with Buff Disruption)
• Gawain (High Damage with Defense Decrease)
• Arthur (Additional Defense Decrease)
• Bedivere (High Damage Output)

Additional Tips

• Elemental Advantage: Morgan struggles in higher stages due to her elemental disadvantage. If using her, consider tanky builds focused on HP, Defense, and Accuracy.
• Speed Optimization: Ensure your Defense Decrease hero is the fastest on the team to maximize damage potential from other allies.
• Resource Management: Clearing the dungeon unlocks valuable relic-enhancing materials, so even slow battles are worth the effort.

Unlocking Frozen PLAIN Dungeon

To unlock the Frozen Plain Dungeon, you must clear Main Story Chapter 2 Battle 27 (Hard Difficulty). This is a critical step for progressing your relic upgrades and enhancing your team’s overall strength.

With these tips and strategies, you should be well-equipped to face Aldri and conquer the Frozen Plain Dungeon. Remember to experiment with your team compositions to find what works best for your roster. Good luck, and may your relics shine!
