Venerator

The normal voice lines are pretty good.

The combat sounds are pretty terrible with de-sync and other issues, people would definitely appreciate toggle-able voices.

I wanted to make a place where you can see how all the classes deal with Balor and how they compare to the other classes so posting this here for those that are interested.

Also very useful to see how classes are played in harder content.

Full Datasheet Here
Links to all the solos (with video) can be found inside.



Note: This is not a class ranking for all content only relevant for a BALOR SOLO. Karok suffers greatly from his mechanics as well as some other characters not ideal for solo situation.

If there are better clears/updated ones just send me a msg. (Help me find me a Pillar Video please)

Portal Leap

Gravity Rounds [A]
Cooldown: 45 seconds
Cost: 30 MP

Hits: 8 Times

- Puts a field on the floor dealing damage to everything inside of it and restoring stamina per hit

Chaos Warp

- Can dodge red hits, has far movement that go towards the boss.
- Best used to gap close or dodge red hits.
- Situational usage.


Infinity Shot
Cost: 500 SP
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- You should only try to use this move if you know you can land all of its hits and not get interrupted while using it.


Phase Burst
Cost: 250 SP
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Extremely good skill to use should use it whenever you can land all its hits.
- This should almost always be off of cooldown.
- Not worth using if you do not land the majority of it so bosses like Succubus it is bad to use.


Quantum Ruin
Cost: 750 SP

Cooldown: 1 minutes 30 seconds

- This move gains Eira stamina and MP over time.
- This move should be used when you need either stamina or MP.





Inverse Shot
Kick (After smash or active)
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- This can be done after any attack or ability
- Only really useful to use Mana Munitions right after or to get better positioning to use Infinity Shot or Phase Burst. It is generally better to use Distortion Shield if you want to use those though.
- Also can be used to animation cancel by hitting and releasing R quickly.


Mana Launcher
LR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Eira’s basic first smash attack.
- Not a very useful skill but could be used to fit small amounts of damage where otherwise you can’t. It is better to use portal and position yourself better to use bigger smashes.


Bullet Storm
LLR or TabR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Hits 2 times.


Bullet Rain
LLRR or TabRR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Hits 3 times.
- Can only be used after Bullet Storm.

Bullet Hail
LLRRR or TabRRR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Hits 4 times.
- Can only be used after Bullet Rain.


Warp Shot
LLLR or TabTabLR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Not that useful of a skill but can be used to fit a quick smash where you would not fit one otherwise.


Warp Blast
LLLRR or TabTabLRR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Can only be used after Warp Shot.
- Moves forward on the shot


Disruptor Shot
LLLLR or TabTabR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Quick smash a bit slower than Warp Shot

Disruptor Blast
LLLLRR or TabTabRR
Recommended Awakening: 10% Damage

- Can only be used after Disruptor Shot
- Jumps back on the shot





TabRRR
Portal Leap -> Bullet Storm -> Bullet Rain -> Bullet Hail

- This is your main DPS combo can loop over and over because you gain more MP than you use if you hit all of its hits.
- When using these moves you want to stick as close to the boss as possible so all of its hits hit.
- After the final Bullet Hail you can press Tab and use Portal Leap and repeat this combo.
- You do not have to finish the entire combo you could stop halfway and portal to reset it.
- You can use Portal Leap/ Inverse Shot/ Distortion Shield anytime mid combo to cancel if you are about to be hit.


TabTabRR
Portal Leap -> Portal Leap (Cancel) -> Disruptor Shot -> Disruptor Blast

- You use this when you cannot fit at least a Portal Leap -> Bullet Storm -> Bullet Rain. Even if you can’t use the final part of this smash combo it is more damage.
- This combo has fair range and useful for hitting rapidly moving targets like Balor’s Horse when running where otherwise you cannot land the Bullet Combo.
- Combo can be repeated.





In a typical run you generally want to start the run using

RA -> RD
Gravity Rounds -> Entropic Rounds

Then DPS using

TabRRR
Portal Leap -> Paw (while in portal) -> Bullet Storm -> Bullet Rain -> Bullet Hail

Until you gain enough SP to start using actives.

Depending on boss the best active to use depends on the situation and how much SP you have available at the time.


You ALWAYS should have these actives on CD.

Gravity Rounds
Gives the highest amount of damage overtime costing only 30 MP to use.

Entropic Rounds
Increases your damage done by 20%.

Phase Burst
Good solid DPS.


The Big Damage:

Infinity Shot
Quantum Ruin

Both of these do large amounts of damage and massive hitboxes. If possible it is best to use them to multi hit bosses like during Neit’s body slam or Aes’s Braha double punch. If there is no opportunity for those types of attacks use it off of CD constantly.


The Stamina/MP gainer:

Mana Phase

This move normally will always be on CD if you are attacking consistently due to the nice stamina and MP gain you get from it.


The Situational:

Flux Rounds
Use it only when you are about to run out of MP. Remember that it will cost 30 MP to use.

Chaos Warp
A very useful skill that allows you to dodge red attacks or stuff like Glas’s Reverse Gravity attack when used at the right time.

That is assuming the worst possible rng which is very unlikely. The expected amount is closer to 500 steels and total cost about 2.5b with everything included.
