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

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

Gear
Every Class: (italic = absolutely required) - Hyperion - Duplex Terminator (only needs to be duplex 1) - Lava Rod - Remote Shop - Gyrokinetic Wand :yes: - AOTV :yes: - Golden Dragon :yes: - Precursor Eye :yes: - Plasmaflux/SOS Flare (at least one player :yes:) - Wand of Atonement (or any secondary healing item :yes:) - Fatal Tempo Terminator - Wither Cloak - Spirit Mask - Ender Pearls

- Aurora (Burning Tier+) :yes:(Attributes: Mana Pool, Mana Regen, Vitality) ○ CC should have at least fiery tier, and good attributes - Terror (Burning Tier+) :yes: (Attributes: Dominance)

Everyone except CC should be wearing 3/4 aurora with a Spirit Mask until stun phase, therefore you can help kill some mobs from aurora intel, and you have much more survivability when getting supplies/fuel cells

Stunner: - Drill/Gauntlet with high mining speed :yes: - HOTM tree with mining speed :yes: - Last Breath :yes: - AOTS - Goldor + Reaper/Spirit Mask Reforges

Everybody should be using Fortuitous power stone - yes, including the CC   ○ If the CC is really struggling, they could use demonic, if they are still struggling then sighted/bizarre, however fortuitous is very         good for last phase dps.

Everybody should use crit chance enrichments and crit chance tuning points.

You also need 100% Attack Speed, terminator + golden drag gives 94, therefore you can use a Beacon V for another 5 and get the extra 1 from legion.

Perks

CC - Blight Slayer level 2, save rest for nukes Spec - Steady Hands level as much as you can, Ballista Mechanic level 3 Cannon - Steady Aim level as much as you can

Stunner (Spec) - Ballista Mechanic level 3, Mining Frenzy level as much as you can

Do not level any other perks, they are useless

Dropship Information

You will encounter dropships when playing Kuudra, and to combat this: - If there is only one dropship, you can either use Cells Alignment if everyone is near each other, or if you are on your own you can use cloak. - If there are multiple, everyone should go to the place marked "X" (bottom right) and spam Cells Alignment on each other. --- Phase 1 | Collecting Supplies This stage is crucial in your success for fast Kuudra runs. As soon as you ready up, every person should go to one of the corners of Kuudra's Hollow, 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 lure it towards you as fast as possible. Buy your class with the 50 tokens from crimson essence shop now.

https://i.imgur.com/z6ByVMC.jpeg - These are spawn locations of supplies Image Once the supply spawns (after about 15s), immediately hook it and start reeling it in. Once you pick it up, throw an ender pearl to the middle of the arena by hotkeying to it fast. You can also throw it when you have picked up 84% on 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 trying to collect the supply, as it is not worth it without being specialist/cannon. Instead, you should go to the middle and start to clear mobs when they spawn

If you are struggling to get supplies, make sure to level up steady hands as much as you can. 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 SAFE SPOTS

In the arena, there are a couple places to stand where you will never get picked up by a tentacle.

🟦 #1 Square: https://i.imgur.com/Z2sL35J.jpeg - Any of these two blocks will guarantee you to not be picked up. You must stand in the corner of the block however. Image 🔺 #2 Triangle: https://i.imgur.com/oGrj9Y2.jpeg - You must stand on this block to do it, however you do not have to be in the corner, so to grab the supply you will have to crouch on the edge of the block in order 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. Image What if i can't reach the supply from the safe spot? You can bring the supply round using a rod and going into the lava. Make sure to cloak as the lava does a lot of damage: https://i.imgur.com/4rIJ7sI.jpeg Image --- 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?
