 back for another XOZeroes episode in today's episode we're going to discuss how to clear chapter 17 episode 14 how to beat John Donk but before that if you want an updated XOZeroes content please hit the subscribe button down below. Hey guys we're now here at chapter 17 episode 14 so we're going to try to check out John Donk's passive and skills for this stage as a boss so he has thrust three for his passive but more importantly he has a lot of status effects immunity he has actually more or less other passives as well so aside from status from immune to status effects so he has buffs so increase own block by 1000 the start of the turn if if there are living allies so the key is actually this is going to be you know this is going to be a bit confusing because the key in defeating him is actually taking a lot taking all of his allies out or killing them but again for his S1 he actually brings them back to life so I'll be explaining a bit of a strategy later during gameplay so again for his buff he increases own block by by 1000 if all if there are living allies even if there is one so special reduces normal damage received by 65 so damage reduction pretty much a headache increase attack at the start of the round by 20 again bit of a headache more on I'm more worried about how to kill him than you know than my heroes dying in this in this what they call this in this in this episode so more or less how to kill him with less hits for us to get a three star so right now guys I already did this and I was able to finish this with two star but more or less the objective here is to get to three star so again he also has tenacity which reduces the duration of his of his break status for a for his S1 he has um what do you call this um declaration of victory so increase own defense by 30% also another headache so aside from damage reduction he increases his defense which is really really really really really headache um grants damage immunity for self or two turns again another one so really big on defense for this guy and revives all dead allies and for his S2 you have their kings army deals 255 damage to all enemies and there you go so that is it for John Donk so more or less for him if you check out the garden stones for for what do you call this for this boss or this episode so you have five so more or less you'll be requiring five with with a different garden five heroes that designates a specific element so for light more or less um the recommended here would be Garf or Schmidt probably Schmidt because of his turn reset because the more turn resets you know you do the more you can you know you could attack your enemies and you know give them less of a turn to attack you that's so Schmidt here is actually very beneficial for nature you have rudley tantalo junai rara and talia so all our fcs i'm i'm i'm talking about fcs here guys um so don't be confused so more or less the best here for me would be tantalo rara and rudley okay for dark you have choices would be adams ramji shufraken again all fcs um choice would be either ramji or adams for this one so machine your choice would be dorka fc shell or fcu loom so again your choice here would be fc you know fc shell or dorka and for frost you actually the choice here would be primarily would be battery if you don't have battery read marie would be good because of his damage over time also bernett would would be good because of his aoe but more or less you won't really need much more much aoe for frost for battery or read marie would would be okay okay so again for my team that i'm using for this one so i'm going with rudley battery schmid dorka and and fc ramji on the front okay so um i'm actually good with this team ready this gives me a lot of hp survivability turn reset for for fc schmid damage is actually questionable but i'll try to three star with this team okay so the first time that i encountered this i was able to to two star this on auto i'll try to do this now on manual um try to make sure to control to control the enemies on the other side in terms of the turns if possible so uh here we go with rudley so rudley here is basically your top hp and defense enhancer also good with burst damage as well to make sure that um um he deals a lot of damage in terms of in terms of enemies and he has silence as well for you know it's usually for for the allies or for the enemy allies in front of you so we'll go with schmid it's a pity that for schmid i haven't you know i haven't elementally enhanced him up to three breaking three garden stones so i'll have to be contented with two for now but more or less i like schmid here because again with the with the with the turn reset so more or less um if his defense is actually higher than than your other allies then he can give master's footsteps and pray eventually so basically for ramji he is good here he did a turn reset so he's going to do another s2 again for damage making sure that they cannot you know uh a few of them can only you know can only have a a counter attack so it's actually important that you keep that you keep your hits low in terms of wave one and wave two so that you'd be able to reach um reach wave three with you know less hits um wave three is actually quite the headache in terms of the enemy in terms of the boss so we're now at 10 so that's good so more or less we'll go again with uh with dorka's s1 for bind and more or less not to give them any mana for two turns and next would be rudley again to break green garden stones to give hp and defense to the team so again rudley my best hero so far been you know been happy bringing him mostly in pvp but again he's actually good as well in your in your pve content so very good utility for a player and also damage very underrated he was very underrated before i even underrated him and schmid um hopefully for my team i could build up his signature force um i'm nearly done with his unleash potential he's actually kind of good in terms of you know um splashing him to other teams as well aside from you know so i'm trying to i'm going to try to splash him with my other teams and probably try to um um try to apply master's footsteps then pray so again we're good at hit 36 for wave two i hope ramji finishes them off so the biggest challenge would be our wave three so there you go we're done with wave two off to wave three bath three leading the way okay john donk very very tough old man so very tough old man and we go ahead with dorca for s1 again applying bind so again the key for the key for um the allies of donk is not to finish them off because again he has revived so as much as possible just kill off around four then keep one alive then break donk uh then kill both of them that's actually the strategy here because you don't want to trigger his revive he revives actually if you you finish you know you finish everyone off so that is that is actually where you should not kill every every everyone off um to minimize your hits so we're now at 56 actually i i like schmidt because of the aoe you know the aoe for all um to break guardian stones garf only hits the back so preference would be schmid for for this one so again we're at 60 so we're going to at least kill one more and save the other one too so that so that he won't revive everyone so we're done to one so again so we're here breaking john donk hopefully we can we're a hit limit 61 so we're we're kind of good so this is actually a pain aoe which you know we're at 64 we're still good so he's broken for have a little bit of uh you know glimmer of hope in terms of finishing finishing this off with with three stars so again um when i did this at two stars um pretty much um really hard especially if if you expect to three star on auto so more or less i'm doing this again on manual and i've you know i've i've changed up some of the heroes that i used i used garf before i switched up to schmid which actually more or less is more effective in terms of in terms of what he can do so again once donk is broken you can actually kill off kill off that uh that minion of his so that his um his uh his block would go down again he has a plus 1000 block if there's an ally on the field so more or less there you go schmid really you know gives a big damage to everyone so off with his s1 hopefully he won't revive any any one of them anymore so i'm at four more or less i have to bring on a lot of damage now he doesn't have you know additional blocks that so more or less again i'm free to you know attack him multiple times but i i think i will have i i will not have the opportunity to you know to finish him off now um because i have two more turns for the break and one here with battery and one more hopefully battery does a lot of damage not so much so i have to rely on another break oh boy i was actually hoping that he won't wake up see he's actually he's actually reviving everyone so i'm at 64 another another break would do i still have to do another break and kill off most of them because again the the the aim here is for three stars um three stars and more or less um trying to break john donk for this one so again for dorka breaking two machine he has damage immunity i forgot so we're going to weather this have to kill you know everyone here everyone of his allies prevent more damage from me i'm at 75 already i just have to weather this 83 i don't think i can so more or less guys um i don't think i can weather this in terms of in terms of hits so again this will be finished in a two star so again it's really hard because he has revived um but i'll finish this one i'll finish him off but i won't be three starring him now more or less two stars would be enough for the moment so again the satisfaction here is actually clearing this again and you know i'm showing you guys how it's done um again schmidt is actually crucial here moving forward um also i think ramji has to be changed to to adams i don't have a built up built up fc adams that is why i'm going with ramji so again uh adams would be i think would be good because he's a single target damage dealer um in terms of he can deal a lot of damage more than ramji uh what else so that's mostly it um i don't think you'll have any more changes in terms of the roster i'm pretty much happy with what i have unless if you want to change um dorka with david to deal more damage that's probably it so again he's he's reviving gang before he's broken so in terms of hits i i think i could take the hits but the problem is the hit limit keeps on piling up so more or less i just have to you know be contented again with two starring this the stage so this revive actually thing is really a pain i if he doesn't really have revive more or less he can really be you know we can can be taken out quick so again i'm at hit i'm at hit 100 exceeded my quota again for hits so just have to slowly take him out so for redly again have two more two more garden stones for lights so i'm sure schmidt would take care of him again i think i think redly would would be crucial for this one for for three star so if not for for for schmidt you know i would not have reached this far in terms of hits so again it's a it will be a big improvement from from from ramsey to adams actually if you change or switch it up so more or less i'm just you know clearing this one hopefully i could i could finish him off while he's broken because i don't want to go through another revive of his gang so he's at uh break two so nearing hopefully i could really finish him off so another s2 from bathory little damage little damage so again he survives another break um with little life left again very here we go again another another round of revive so this stage is going to be so long so it's actually you know down the wire ready for the third revive very very you know very very hard to kill again he is damaged immunity at this point so we'll have to weather this out and kill off is is what they call this is posse damage immunity weathering it off so more or less need this aoe from rudley to finish them off so where is it so he's nearing nearing extinction so more or less i'll try to finish him off with fc schmid i should have brought fc adams kind of regret it i'll have to redo this one with fc adams for the three star so again pretty much hard headed guys can't really stay down he's down to about i think five percent hp around 10 around 10 that's around 10 more so and he's really stubborn and still doesn't want to die i i need one more good burst attack there we go okay so we're done with john donk so more or less this is the end of his reign so more or less again chapter's done guys so there you go okay guys for any comments any suggestions any suggestions on any lineup that you want to suggest so that i could three stars one please put them down in comment section below anyway guys um hope this helped and always stay here stay safe this is the warden and i'm out here
