Classes
For average people running Kuudra, players should be running these classes: From here on crowd control will be referred as "CC", specialist as "Spec" and canoneer as "Cannon"
 * 1 Crowd Control
 * 1 Cannoneer
 * 2 Specialist

1. It is recommend maxing the left side of the Crimson Essence Shop, the perks are very good and not too expensive.

Every Class
(Bold = absolutely required)
 *   (only needs to be )
 * Lava Rods
 *  or  (at least one player)
 *  (or any secondary healing item)
 * s

1. Everyone except CC should be wearing 3/4 Aurora Armor with a Spirit Mask until stun phase because you can help kill some mobs with the the armor provides, and you have much more survivability when getting supplies/fuel cells.

Stunner

 * Drill/Gauntlet with high
 * Heart of the Mountain tree with mining speed
 * + or Spirit Mask
 * + or Spirit Mask
 * + or Spirit Mask

Stats Configuraion
1. Everybody including the CC should be using the Fortuitous Power. • If the CC is really struggling, they could use demonic, and if they are still struggling then they would need to use sighted/bizarre. However, fortuitous is very good for last phase damage per second.

2. Everybody should use Enrichments and Critical Chance Tuning Points.

3. You also need 100%, the Terminator paired with the Golden Dragon Pet grants 94. You could use a Beacon V for another 5 and get the remaining 1 from.

Perks

 * CC - Upgrade Blight Slayer to level 2, save the remaining tokens for Miniature Nukes.
 * Spec - Get the level of Steady Hands as high as you can, and upgrade Ballista Mechanic to level 3.
 * Cannon - Upgrade Steady Aim as much as you can.
 * Stunner (Spec) - Upgrade Ballista Mechanic to level 3, and get the level of Mining Frenzy level as high as you can.

1. Do not level any other perks, they are useless

Dropship Information
You will encounter Dropships when playing Kuudra. Here are some ways to combat these:
 * If there is only one Dropship, you can either use Cells Alignment if everyone is near each other, and if you are on your own you can use wither cloak.
 * If there are multiple Dropships, everyone should go to the place marked "X" (bottom right of ) and spam Cells Alignment on each other.

Phase 1|Collecting Supplies

 * As soon as players ready up, everyone should spread out and go to one of the corners in, and stand right at the edge as close to the lava as possible. This will ensure that you can reach the supply, as well as luring it towards you as fast as possible. Players should also remember to choose their class with the 50 tokens from crimson essence shop at this time period.
 * Once the supply spawns (after about 15 seconds), immediately hook it and start reeling it in. Once you pick it up, throw an ender pearl to the middle of the arena. You can also throw it when you have picked up 84% of the supply. This allows you to instantly get to middle without having to walk across with 100 speed.


 * If you are playing CC and get picked up by the tentacle at the start, do not continue collecting the supply, as it is not worth it without being Spec/Cannon. Instead, you should go to the middle and start clearing mobs when they spawn.

Another way is to wiggle from side to side (1-2 blocks) and the tentacle sometimes ignores you - this doesn't work very consistently however. If your supply is surrounded by tentacles, but nearby there are no tentacles, you can drag the supply to the area which has no tentacles
 * If you are struggling to get supplies, make sure to level up steady hands as much as you can.

Safe Spots
In the arena, there are a couple of places to stand where you will never get picked up by kuudra tentacles. Both of these blocks will guarantee you to not be picked up. However, you must stand in the corner of the block. You must stand on this exact block to not get picked up by the tentacles. However, you do not have to be at the corner. Therefore, in order to grab the supply, you will have to crouch on the edge of the block to reach it. *Note: This one only works if there isnt a big tentacle in front of it, the big tentacle will always pick you up. What if i can't reach the supply from the safe spot? You can bring the supply chest around using a rod by going into the lava. Make sure to cloak as the lava does a lot of damage.

Phase 2|Building the Ballista
You should have collected all supplies. CC should clear mobs and spec/cannon should build. If no mobs are alive, CC can obviously also help build.

If at any time blazes spawn during the ballista building phase, the CC should instantly nuke them before they kill everyone. As you know the nuke only does 80% health, but after nuke they should be 2 tap from Hyperion. --- Phase 3 | Stunning Kuudra

Stunner (Spec) You should immediately get a fuel cell. It is best if you try and get square as it is a free fuel cell. Then buy a Human Cannonball from the shop. This will let you enter Kuudra from one of the cannons at the side. Left click the cannon and aim at Kuudra. You should see pink pods hanging from the ceiling. You should equip 3/4 Goldor and a spirit mask when flying in the cannon to make sure you don't die when stunning.

Immediately start mining the bottom of the pods until 5%. You should have got it to 5% before bacteria spawn. After you have done this, you should run around in a circle to avoid being hit, until your team is ready for you to stun.

INSTA STUNNING

If you have a :attribute_shard:Divan's Drill with a blue cheese omlette, amber-polished drill engine, as well as both ⛏️ mining speed perks MAXED in the HOTM tree, you can insta stun. You also need Mining Frenzy level 3, and use mining speed boost ability.

Insta stunning just means that the blocks mine instantly, the same way as how the gold blocks in mines of divan are instantly broken if you have ever done that.

Cannon Your job is to get a fuel cell. (yes that is literally it)

Spec You should get 2 fuel cells to fuel the ballista. Since the stunner and cannon get one, there is 2 left to power ballista which is your job. Make sure to go for supplies with no tentacles nearby or in safe spots. If the ballista is 75%, and you are about to pickup the last fuel cell, say "l" (last) in chat.

CC You should run around and shoot orbs to make sure Kuudra doesn't submerge, as well as clear mobs Once the ballista is at 100%, the cannoneer should stand near the ballista. The other spec and CC should go to the side of Kuudra and equip 3/4 terror and precursor eye. The cannoneer should get on the ballista and shoot. The stunner should stun 1 - 2s after they see in the chat "Cannoneer has mounted a cannon." Everyone should immediately start shooting Kuudra with a duplex terminator and spamming shift for precursor eye beam, and the stunner should STAY INSIDE Kuudra's mouth.

It is important for the people shooting Kuudra to have 100% atk speed, - g drag is the easiest way to do this. Also you can put renowned on your prec eye which gives 15 atk speed if you have the dragon essence shop perk unlocked.

Video of me stunning: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh0U4Whp7_E) Kuudra should die now. If your team is skill issuing, the stunner should go back inside and immediately stun again, so your team can finish it off. Everyone should get teleported into the last phase now, because the stunner stayed inside Kuudra which skips the animation - Phase 4 | Killing Kuudra v2

Kuudra will emerge from the lava at random times allowing you to shoot him. The person with the worst gear (e.g. no fatal tempo, least starred terror) should use last breath on Kuudra (shoot 3x if duplex, 5 without) as well as a few axe of the shredded shots.

Everyone else (and the guy who lbed after he's done) should be shooting Kuudra with terminator and terror. Fatal tempo DOES work here. Don't align as it cancels ragnarock axe, only do it if you are definitely about to die and theres no other way to avoid it (running, cloak, pearls, etc)

Make sure to use Ragnarock Axe, and you can also use Sword of Bad Health as well as Wand of Strength

--- ⚠️ If you leave the Kuudra instance whilst holding a last breath, your top left inventory item gets WIPED, basically, just don't have anything important in your top left slot

FAQ

- Phase 3 is based on hits not damage, and precursor eye shoots a beam that hits a lot of times, whereas a Warden Helmet does not shoot a beam. This is the same reason why you use a Duplex terminator and bouncy arrows.
 * 1) 1. Why do I need to use Precursor Eye?

- This is from SBE - Custom Chat Notifications
 * 1) 2. How do I get those custom titles on my screen?

- No, phase 3 is purely about hits, not damage or ferocity
 * 1) 3. Does ferocity work in phase 3?

- Using 1 piece makes your arrows floppy, therefore not always hitting. You also lose stacks very quickly
 * 1) 4. Why do I need to use 3/4 terror instead of just 1 piece?

- Duplex, as it works in both p3 and p4. Fatal tempo is technically better in p4 but not worth the money
 * 1) 5. Do I get duplex or fatal tempo terminator?
