Usage

Glint's Challenge

• Upon entering Glint's Challenge, activate the Dwarf title and flag your heroes on the ledge between the dragon and the doors that the Destroyers enter from.
• On occasion a Destroyer of lives will spawn outside of aggro range. This happens towards the end of the run, so just come back at your regular time and get heroes to target it, after that it's just another minute to kill the final four bosses.

Zos Shivros Channel

• Enter Zos Shivros Channel in normal mode.
• Stand near Battle Priest Calibos.
• Flag all heroes around Battle Priest Calibos.
• Go AFK.
• When the turtles start spawning, they will stop attacking and just walk back and forth near their spawn point, allowing for infinite points and faction (up to your faction cap) without any risk or effort.

Variants

• Players who do not have access to Zei Ri to use Razah as the third Mesmer can use an E/Me or N/Me as substitution. Keep in mind this may lead the build to be less reliable.
• You can also replace one of the Icy Veins' with a MM like: (also makes it a bit more stable) Set the hero to Guard mode.

Notes

• Destroyers of Thoughts will not use Chaos Storm on allies without weapons/foci or with martial sets, hence the use of spear sets on heroes. Do not put caster weapons (wands/foci or staves) on your heroes or yourself.
• Set all heroes to fight mode to prevent excessive kiting.
