To maximize your score in Aniimo's Season 2 Joint Battle, deploy a dedicated Dark damage amplification squad in the right lane, run a main offensive core of Crystal Cluster Dragon, Wolf Fighter, and Chandelier Jellyfish, and immediately restart the attempt if the boss enters its underground burrow state early.
Boss Mechanics: Handling the Burrow State
The primary obstacle to achieving high damage per second (DPS) in Season 2 is the boss's burrow skill. When this underground animation starts, the boss becomes completely untargetable, causing active buffs, ground effects, and damage skills to expire without dealing damage.
- Restart on Early Burrows: If the boss triggers its burrow animation during your opening burst window, immediately restart the battle. Completing a run after losing your initial setup results in a significantly reduced final score.
- Watch Telegraphs: Monitor the boss's startup posture closely. If the burrow telegraph begins, hold all major offensive cooldowns until the boss resurfaces and vulnerability resumes.
Right-Lane Setup: Dark Amplification
The right lane in Season 2 Joint Battle functions strictly as a support engine designed to increase the damage dealt by your primary lineup. Running Dark-attuned support units in this position provides the defense shred and damage-taken multipliers required to pass encounter DPS checks.
To maintain maximum debuff uptime:
- Space Out Debuff Triggers: Stagger your right-lane Dark skills so the vulnerability multiplier remains continuous rather than refreshing prematurely over the same window.
- Prioritize Energy and Cooldowns: Build your right-lane units with cooldown reduction and energy regeneration to ensure their amplification field aligns with your main damage phases.
- Utilize Control Effects: Use crowd-control tools attached to your Dark supports to delay boss mechanics and extend the window before untargetable states trigger.
Core Team Composition
Your main team must balance heavy gauge breaking, sustained pressure, and frontline survivability. Pairing Crystal Cluster Dragon with Wolf Fighter and Chandelier Jellyfish satisfies all three requirements.
| Unit | Role | Primary Combat Function |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal Cluster Dragon | Burst DPS / Gauge Breaker | Breaks phase thresholds and executes heavy burst damage during amplification windows. |
| Wolf Fighter | Sustained Attacker | Provides continuous close-range pressure between major burst cycles to capitalize on debuffs. |
| Chandelier Jellyfish | Support / Sustain | Deploys defensive fields and healing to keep melee attackers alive through ground hazards. |
Wolf Fighter must stay at close range to deal consistent damage, leaving it vulnerable to boss cleaves and area-of-effect strikes. Placing Chandelier Jellyfish on the field stabilizes Wolf Fighter’s health, removing the need to disengage and forfeit damage uptime. Once gauge thresholds are ready to break, Crystal Cluster Dragon unloads the team's primary burst damage.
Skill Rotation Sequence
Mistiming your ultimate abilities before support debuffs land is the most common cause of sudden DPS loss. Follow this execution order for every burst phase:
- Deploy Defensive Anchors: Cast Chandelier Jellyfish's defensive fields to establish a safe zone for frontline combat.
- Apply Vulnerability: Trigger your right-lane Dark amplification abilities to place the damage multiplier on the boss.
- Engage Melee Pressure: Send in Wolf Fighter to strip secondary boss defenses while the multiplier is fresh.
- Unload Burst Skills: Cast Crystal Cluster Dragon's ultimate and heavy damage skills directly into the debuffed target.
- Pause on Evasion: If the boss begins an untargetable animation or burrows, hold all remaining high-cost abilities until the boss resurfaces.

This saved me time in the early game.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Aniimo articles next.
