Lost Sword Agnes Raid Guide: F2P Team and Boss Strategy

To clear the Agnes raid in Lost Sword using free-to-play units, anchor the boss with a dedicated frontline tank, switch away from full auto-combat, and save your high-damage burst skills to deplete her channeled break meter. Failing to break this gauge unleashes a lethal arena-wide ultimate that wipes your party.

Agnes Boss Mechanics and Wipe Triggers

Agnes tests both team durability and burst damage timing. Her rotation includes three primary threats:

Frontal Cleave Attacks: Basic and directional swings focused on the frontline hero. If your primary tank collapses, Agnes turns directly toward fragile backline units.
Arena-Wide AoE: Periodic area-of-effect spells that steadily wear down backline supports. Healers must maintain steady recovery between boss skill casts.
Channeled Ultimate (Wipe Trigger): Agnes charges an ultimate ability protected by a break gauge. Depleting this meter within the time limit interrupts the cast and stuns her in a vulnerable state. Failing to break the gauge results in an unavoidable, party-wiping blast.
Enrage Timer: If the encounter exceeds the hard time limit, Agnes enrages and instantly defeats the party, punishing low team damage output.

Recommended F2P Team Composition

A reliable F2P setup requires a single frontline anchor, one focused single-target carry, a defensive healer, and a dedicated offensive buffer or debuffer.

Slot / Role	Recommended F2P Hero	Alternative Options	Primary Function in Raid
Frontline Tank	Galahad	Bedivere, Tristan	Absorbs frontal cleaves and grants defensive shield buffs
Primary DPS	Lancelot	Kay, Rin	Depletes the break gauge and deals burst damage during stun phases
Defensive Support	Guinevere	Dianne	Cleanses debuffs, heals through AoE chip damage, and sustains the tank
Offensive Buffer / Debuffer	Merlin	Erin, Lueria	Applies DEF reduction to Agnes and boosts team ATK before break phases

Do not run two passive healers. Replacing your offensive buffer with a second healer lowers your overall damage, making it difficult to beat the enrage timer or shatter the break bar in time.

Combat Execution and Rotation Order

Pure auto-combat frequently fails because AI units discharge high-cooldown nukes outside of the boss's break window. Use manual or semi-auto activation and follow this sequence:

Establish Positioning: Let your tank engage Agnes first to lock her directional cleaves away from your backline. Build team energy while holding high-impact damage abilities.
Apply Buffs and Debuffs: As Agnes begins casting her charged attack, cast your support’s ATK buff and apply DEF reduction to the boss. Do not expend your main carry's ultimate until the break bar appears.
Deplete the Break Gauge: Once the channeled gauge is active, cast all saved single-target burst skills and summon attacks. High-damage critical hits quickly shatter the gauge and interrupt the wipe attack.
Exploit the Stun Window: When Agnes is staggered, chain any remaining offensive abilities to maximize damage while she is vulnerable.
Reset Defensive Buffs: As Agnes recovers from the stagger, trigger your tank's shields and support heals to absorb the ensuing counter-attack sequence.

Gear and Stat Priorities

Equipping the right primary and secondary stats ensures your team survives background damage without falling behind the enrage timer:

Primary DPS: Prioritize Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and Attack (flat and percentage). High Critical Rate is essential because critical strikes accelerate break bar depletion.
Frontline Tank: Stack HP percentage, Physical Defense, and Damage Reduction to endure sustained melee cleaves.
Supports: Prioritize Energy Recovery and Skill Cooldown Reduction. Fast cooldown cycling keeps barrier and healing uptime high enough to survive consecutive AoE attacks.

If your team survives the mechanics but hits the enrage timer, verify that your offensive debuffer has adequate skill levels and accuracy to consistently maintain DEF reduction on Agnes before your carry unloads burst damage.
