Awaken Chaos Era Queen of Tides is one of the Arcane Dominator dungeon where you farm Warrior Set, Cursed Set and Revival Set by defeating the boss guarding the area. Queen of Tides has 3 unique abilities, which are crowd-controlling a single-target hero in your team while dealing a portion of Hero’s Max HP as damage, dealing a massive amount of damage based on the buffs she has applied on herself passively on every 2 rounds, and protects herself with a Bubble Shield. In addition, her right Tide Guard provides a massive amount of healing to the boss, while the left Tide Guard applies Joint Attack buff to attack the enemy whenever any of their allies perform an attack.
How to defeat Queen of Tides?
- The enemies in Queen of Tides dungeon are all Water elements. Using Wood element heroes allows you to deal +50% more damage to them and have 50% chance to receive 50% less damage from their attacks. Using this elemental advantage increases your survivability rate and enables you to defeat them swiftly.
- The target sequence to defeat the enemy is right Tide Guard to disable boss healing, followed by left Tide Guard to disable Joint Attack, and finally the boss.
- You can use the enemies Joint Attack against them by employing Valuk and Rogge to kill themselves quickly. Valuk applies Poison to enemies whenever they hit any ally while Rogge deals True Damage by retaliating against enemy attacks! Hence, you would want to just target the right Tideguard followed by the boss to speed up the run.
- If you are able to perform instant high amount of damage such as using Poison detonation team (Santis, Gangelo, Ghajar), then targetting the Tide Guards is unnecessary.
- Since the boss relies heavily on buffs to sustain herself and amplify her damage output, use a buff remover hero such as Evelyn Firstdawn, Kaluk, Kane, Edicris and Urion.
- You will need at least 1 healer and cleanser to sustain against the Joint Attacks from enemies as they hit pretty hard, especially at higher difficulty stages (Stage 9 ~ 12). Recommended heroes are Blackhorn and Rodira.
- For damage dealer, you can opt for any single-target pure damage dealer or inflict Poison debuff on the enemy.
- Poison is much more efficient at higher difficulty stages as it deals based on Enemy MAX HP. Using Poison strategy means you can focus your heroes stats on Health, Defense and Focus stats to be tanky. Recommended heroes for Poison role are Valuk and Santis. Both of them are accessible for all players as Santis is available from Hero Synthesis while Valuk can be obtained by Summoning Crystal and Advanced Summoning Crystal.

Queen of Tides 12 F2P Early Team Guide
Team Setup: Charles, Rogge, Valuk, Hakrin
Queen of Tides 12 Speed Run Guide
Team SEtup: Zatlux, Valuk, Santis, Rodira/Blackhorn
Important Notes
- Ascension: Zatlux to be ascended twice (Ascension II) to gain the Attack Up buff upon killing an enemy. This allows him to knock out the remaining enemies on the battlefield easily without having to gear him above 3800 Attack and 230% Critical Damage.
- Speed Tuning: All of your heroes should have at least 130 Speed and above to go after the first 2 waves of Hermit Crabs. Your support heroes will do the initial damage on the same enemy on auto while Zatlux will perform the finishing blow on the enemy with the least health using his ultimate ability.
- Stats: For your debuffer heroes such as Rodira/Blackhorn, Valuk, and Santis, it’s recommended to provide them with at least 60~80% Focus to consistently inflict their debuff on enemies without having them resist it. In addition, having them with a minimum of 15K Health and 1500 Defense would be helpful to allow them to tank the damage dealt by Queen of Tides boss and Tideguards.
- Equipment: It’s recommended to gear both Valuk and Santis with Cursed Set to allow them to inflict additional Poison debuff with their basic attack. Alternatively, you can opt for Revival Set to heal them each time they take a turn if you find it difficult for them to stay alive during the heat of the battle.
- Target Priority: If your main Poison heroes are using Cursed Set, it’s recommended to clear right Tideguard, left Tideguard, and finally the boss. If your main Poison heroes are equipped in Revival Set, then targetting right Tideguard followed by the boss is sufficient.

@Julian: You can use the Terra Sets (5 Star Gear) farmed from Adventure Mythic Chapter 2 or gears rewarded by completing Adventure Stages on Rodira and Rogge. With this basic equipment, you can start farming from Stage 10 up to 12 depending on your gear quality. Remember to upgrade those gears to Level 12 so they can help you to clear difficult content. In addition, level up your heroes to Level 60 and max Tier 5 glyph as its much more beneficial in the long run to build a tanky team. The additional health and defense stats obtained through Level 60 is required to move on to Stage 11 and 12 in Queen of Tides. It took me about 1 month plus to build my heroes tanky enough to get to that level. You can find me on Discord using the Discord link at the sidebar of this website!
Hello, if I don’t have revival sets and I want to farm this for revival sets, and I replace rogge with rodira, what sets should I put my team in? Is there a way I can add you on discord and show you my current gear?
