Dragonsong’s Reprise (Ultimate)

Elemental’s DSR PF strat can be broken down as follows:

Ser Adelphel + Grinnaux: HMRT
King Thordan: DRK-relative, role adjust
Nidhogg: Easthogg
Eyes: T/H red, DPS blue
Alternate Timeline Thordan: 2-2 Dooms North, Anchored Dooms
Double Dragons: △, DTTMR, Fixed WB2 or 5-1 WB2s
Dragonking Thordan: All 3-3-2

BiS Notes

Dragonsong’s Reprise is the current Ultimate, and is not outgeared yet.

BiS will be a mix of i600 gear, and i605 gear from Lapis Manalis.

Looking towards the future:

Dragonsong’s Reprise will not be outgeared until i730 gear is available.

Relic weapons (when they arrive) will have their substats capped at 269.

Ser Adelphel and Ser Grinnaux

Dragonsong’s Reprise is the first Ultimate to showcase a “door” boss. As such, there are two sets of markers and macros to use for this fight.

Things to check on Party Finder

Check the marker order for Hyperdimensional Slash (some groups do N→S).

Check the Playstation positions (there are many variants).

English

Markers

If you are doing the fixed Wyrmsbreath 2 strat, I recommend you use the “outer” markers as the tanks can use the intercardinal markers for reference on where to stand.

{"Name":"Dragonsong's Reprise (Outer)","MapID":788,"A":{"X":100.0,"Y":0.0,"Z":79.0,"ID":0,"Active":true},"B":{"X":121.0,"Y":0.0,"Z":100.0,"ID":1,"Active":true},"C":{"X":100.0,"Y":0.0,"Z":121.0,"ID":2,"Active":true},"D":{"X":79.0,"Y":0.0,"Z":100.0,"ID":3,"Active":true},"One":{"X":114.849,"Y":0.0,"Z":85.151,"ID":4,"Active":true},"Two":{"X":114.849,"Y":0.0,"Z":114.849,"ID":5,"Active":true},"Three":{"X":85.151,"Y":0.0,"Z":114.849,"ID":6,"Active":true},"Four":{"X":85.151,"Y":0.0,"Z":85.151,"ID":7,"Active":true}}

Otherwise, the “inner” markers are also popular.

The intercardinal markers demarcate:

The boundaries for the charges at the start of Strength of the Ward
Where to stand to bait the towers in Nidhogg
The boundary of Hot Tail in the Double Dragons phase.
