Guardian/Level 1/No Relics/Depth 5 (The Balancer's/Weapon Bequeathed Harmonia) (Deep of Night) NR

This fight was hard as fuark. My plan was to target the white balancer's and the pink leader variant since they shared a health bar. In phase 1 I killed the hammer variant last, so it would take over as the pink leader. Later after I killed the hammer variant, I left the Glaive variant alive so that they would take over as the pink leader. The reason I killed the white balancer's was because they can spam there ground spear move a lot. For me it's hard to notice when a balancer has cast a trail of ground spears below me. I memorized the sound (and muted the music) to help me identify it and evade it. What usually happened was if I only attacked Pink Balancer, the 6 white balancers would spam there ground spear move a lot more, so I killed them to lessen the ground spear spam, so I could focus solely on the pink balancer. The other thing that gave me trouble was if I got the Pink Spear Variant, whenever the spear variant used it's uber spear move (it stabs a lot then ends with a jump attack) the white balancers would also spam there ground spears as I was trying to evade the pink balancers flurry of blows. I often got killed if I had to deal with both pink's flurry of spear thrust's and the ground spear spam from the white one's. So killing the white balancer's made it so I wouldn't even have to face the spear variant, as the health bar is shared. I only had to face the hammer variant and the glaive variant because I manipulated the battle so that they would only be chosen. Had to get clever with this one. Wraith bell and glintblades are very good in this fight, but I had the forsaken hollows map, so no wraith bell, just a crossbow and glintblades. Timestamps: 0:05 No relic setup, build. I turn off the music so I can listen to the sounds better when The Balancer's use there ground spear move. I listen for a certain sound and when I hear it, it prompts me to dodge. 0:16 Start of fight 5:35 Phase 2 (I killed the hammer balancer variant last, so that it would turn into the pink leader balancer. I find that it's very easy to evade the hammer balancer and focus my attention on killing the white balancers, especially if you have a wraith bell) 10:18 (Death 1, stabbed by a white balancer, misread his attack, and did not expect it) 11:02 White Balancer #1 is killed. 12:57 White Balancer #2 is killed 15:30 White Balancer #3 is killed 16:18 White Balancer #4 is killed 16:55 White Balancer #5 is killed 18:17 (Death 2, killed by her massive ground spear aoe, this move can be tough to dodge) 18:58 Pink Balancer/Hammer Variant is killed, I left the 6th white balancer alive which wields a Glaive. If only one white balancer is still alive, they take the role of the new Pink Leader. The Pink Glaive Variant I find is much easier to deal with instead of the Pink Spear Variant (The Hardest). You can't get the hammer variant twice in a row, it will either be a spear or glaive variant (There are 3 spear variants, 3 glaive variant's, and 1 hammer variant) Hammer I find is the easiest, Glaive the second easiest, and the Spear variant being the hardest. So I did everything in my power to avoid having to face the pink spear variant, by killing the white balancers since they share a shared health bar. If you only attack the Pink Balancer's, there is a chance you might end up having to face 4 or 5 total in the entire match (and different variant's). But with my strategy by killing the white balancers along with the pink one's, I only had to face a total of two pink balancers. 19:05 The 6th white balancer (which I left alive on purpose) wielding a a glaive takes over as the new pink leader balancer. The health bar is down to about 1/4 remaining, I basically repeat the same strategy by targeting the white balancer's and the pink balancer. 22:13 White Balancer #1 is killed (I managed to survive a hit from the Pink Balancer, it seems if you dodge the pink aoe move somewhat it doesn't do full damage, and only a small portion of health) 28:13 White Balancer #2 is killed, use my ultimate art since I felt trapped in a desperate situation 29:00 White Balancer #3 and #4 are killed back to back. With only two white balancer's remaining it's way easier to deal with the Pink Balancer. The less White Balancer's there are, the less I need to worry about there ground spear spam. 29:28 The Balancer's are Defeated! My last shot being on the Pink Balancer to take them all down. 29:36 Extensive look at weapon's, items, no relic build.
