Hello.

This is MapoGam튀.

This is my Helena strategy guide, which I worked hard on over the holiday break..

(This is not Nightmare!)

At the end of this post, there’s also a very easy way to clear Normal.

Please read till the end.

As for the recommended stats for Helena..

I’d say it’s probably Lucid’s Dream gear, fully set up with ‘Unique’ equipment.

I was lucky enough to be wearing all Legendary gear, so the clear was a bit easier for me.

Now then, let’s get into the guide!!

Helena Map Pattern

There are no map patterns!!

If you just learn Helena’s main body patterns properly, this fight is easy to clear.

Important

When dealing with Helena’s patterns, making good use of Wingzical Dream is absolutely critical!!

Helena Basic Patterns

Pattern 1

Pull-in - small whirlwind - full-map AoE

Fly up into the air quickly to avoid it.

Pattern 2

Front arrow shot - jumping arrow shot - whirlwind

When she uses the jumping arrow shot, you can dodge it by moving behind Helena or by jumping.
Right after she comes back down, she chains into a whirlwind attack, so watch out for the follow-up.

Pattern 3

Teleport - instant-kill attack - knockback whirlwind

After teleporting, she unleashes an instant-kill attack across the entire map.

The big tree in the center is the safe zone, but after the instant-kill move, she uses a knockback attack around that safe area, so you need to get out immediately.

Pattern 4

8 consecutive snipes

After taking an attack stance, she fires off 8 sniping shots.

Use Wingzical Dream’s high movement speed to keep moving and dodge them.

Pattern 5

Aerial firing (?)

She flies up into the sky, then launches a wide-area attack at the ground.

Use Wingzical Dream to fly up and avoid it.

Helena Gimmick Pattern

‘Helena is preparing a powerful attack, so you need to find a safe position and move there.’

This pattern starts along with that message.

Use Wingzical Dream and immediately fly up into the sky.

After a short delay, the safe zones are marked 3 times, and then the attack begins.

The blue-marked areas like this are the safe zones, and once you dodge all 3 attacks, the pattern ends.

Normal Helena Cheese(?) Strategy

This is a very stable clear method you can use if your damage is high enough.

If you stay floating up above the big tree all day with Wingzical Dream like this, which is the safe zone for the instant-kill move,

you won’t get hit by anything except the 8 consecutive snipes.

Stay there, come down only when you need to attack, then go back up with Wingzical Dream and keep repeating the pattern dodge from that spot. If you do that, you can clear it very easily.
