Silver Palace CBT Cinderella Boss Fight Guide: Tactics and Skill Chains

To beat the Cinderella boss encounter during the Silver Palace closed beta test (CBT), immediately move your active character to her flanks or behind her when attack telegraphs begin, and reserve your main ultimate skill chains until you confirm a stagger or break state.

Evading Area Attacks and Position

Cinderella relies on wide-area attacks and multi-hit strikes that quickly punish stationary parties. Staying directly in front of the boss puts your squad at constant risk of high incoming damage.

When fighting Cinderella, apply these tactical rules:

• Watch Visual Wind-Ups: Monitor Cinderella's telegraph animations. The moment an animation begins, disengage from the front.
• Flank or Reposition Behind: Move your active character behind or to the side of the boss to clear the hit area of her telegraphed attacks.
• Use Arena Cover: If the arena contains environmental obstacles, line up behind them to block her ranged projectiles while your dodge energy recovers. In open arenas, rely strictly on active dodging.

Timing Ultimate Skill Chains

Maximizing combat efficiency requires delaying high-impact abilities until Cinderella is vulnerable. Unleashing ultimates while the boss is actively moving or mid-attack can result in missed abilities and lost energy.

1. Initiate with Debuffs or Control: Start your chain with a character who applies crowd control or defense reductions.
2. Confirm Vulnerability: Wait for the visible "stagger" or "break" status prompt over the boss.
3. Unleash Ultimates: Commit your highest-damage ultimate abilities immediately after the break status registers to ensure full hit delivery without interruption.

Managing Energy and Cooldowns

Because certain characters in the beta feature longer wind-up animations, reckless skill usage leaves team rotations exposed to boss counterattacks.

• Track Portrait Cooldowns: Keep track of the cooldown icons next to your character portraits. If defensive skills are cooling down, shift to basic attacks and evasive positioning.
• Avoid Ability Spam: Save ultimate energy specifically for stagger windows rather than using abilities as soon as they recharge.
• Match Animation Speed to Openings: Deploy characters with faster attack animations during quick repositioning phases, and reserve heavy hitters with long wind-ups for confirmed stagger periods.
