Murmurs of the Deep Forest Guide

Murmurs of the Deep Forest Stage Details

Stage Description and Mechanics
Critters That Dig ・ Careful. The Mist continuously deals gradually increasing DMG to all operators. Mist DMG is also greatly increased.
・ The Woodcraft Slug will burrow underground and restore all its shield stacks on a regular basis. Defeating a Woodcraft Slug will temporarily reduce Mist DMG.
・ After the battle begins, 1 random Woodcraft Slug will lose all its shield stacks and no longer restore them. Defeating it will cause 1 random Woodcraft Slug to lose all its shield stacks and no longer restore them.
・ Tacticals and consumables cannot be used.
・ Enemies have the same resistance against every element.
Shadows that Bind ・ After the battle begins, the enemy applies Imprisonment on all operators except for the controlled operator.
・ Operators under Imprisonment will constantly lose HP while giving Blitzcrash Blightshade HP Treatment, ATK boosts, and resistance to the operator's element.
・ Defeating a YSTF Elite Blightshade frees 1 operator from Imprisonment.
・ Blitzcrash Blightshade awakens after all YSTF Elite Blightshades are defeated, or after the battle has progressed for a while.
・ Tacticals and consumables cannot be used.
・ Enemies have the same resistance against every element.
Woodcrafts That Link ・ After the battle begins, the Woodcraft Wanderer will continuously move towards the other Woodcraft Wanderer, creating an energy link that deals DMG over time. While the energy link exists, defeating one Woodcraft Wanderer will also defeat the other.
・ When the Woodcraft Wanderers reach the same position, they will trigger an explosion that deals DMG (based on Max HP) to all operators.
・ Woodcraft Wanderers move faster. Every subsequent explosion deals higher DMG.
・ Tacticals and consumables cannot be used.
・ Enemies have the same resistance against every element.
Hatred That Sprawls ・ After the battle begins, the operators' Max SP is increased to 400.
・ Gloomwald's Rage will enter its charging state on a regular basis and gain a large number of shield stacks. When its charging up is complete, it will cast its ultimate that deals massive DMG to all operators. Break all shield stacks to interrupt the charging state.
・ When Gloomwald's Rage enters its charging state, it also summons 4 Woodcraft Wanderers. After a Woodcraft Wanderer's shield stacks are shattered, it will immediately disappear and restore 200 SP for the operators.
・While Gloomwald's Rage is protected by shield stack(s), operators no longer have SP regeneration and their Final Strikes and Finishers no longer recover SP. Gloomwald's Rage also gradually acquires more and more shield stacks.
・ Tacticals and consumables cannot be used.
・ Enemies have the same resistance against every element.

The aforementioned stages are treated as if Agony Mode was selected.
