Clearing Workshop of Brilliant Light Floor 10 Baran in Solo Leveling:Arise

Successfully clearing Floor 10 of the Workshop of Brilliant Light requires a strategic approach to Baran’s attack patterns and efficient management of your team's DPS windows. Because this encounter tests your ability to maintain consistent damage output while dodging lethal mechanics, you must prioritize character synergy and precise skill timing over relying on specific shadow summons. This guide provides the tactical adjustments needed to handle the boss's phases without needing to rely on Shadow Monarch mechanics.

Baran Combat Phases and Mechanics

The primary challenge of this encounter is Baran’s high mobility and his ability to punish players who overextend during his telegraphs. You should focus on identifying the visual cues that precede his wide-area attacks. By baiting his lunges and keeping your hunters in position to trigger their ultimate abilities, you can steadily deplete his health bar while minimizing team casualties.

Recommended Team Composition

Efficiency in this stage relies on maximizing elemental advantages and utility. You should assemble a team that balances burst damage with sustain to ensure you can survive the later stages of the fight.

Role	Strategy Priority
Main DPS	Focus on high-scaling damage dealers to hit DPS checks.
Support/Utility	Prioritize hunters that provide buffs or defense reduction.
Breaker	Essential for stunning Baran during his vulnerable windows.

Execution Strategies for Floor 10

To maximize your success rate, focus on these two critical combat pillars:

Rotation Timing: Never burn all your skills at once. Stagger your hunter skill rotations to ensure that you always have a defensive or crowd-control option available when Baran enters his aggressive phase.
Evasion Discipline: Baran’s attacks are highly telegraphed. Prioritize keeping your dash charges available for emergencies rather than using them for repositioning during downtime.
Weapon Management: Use weapons that provide armor penetration or elemental bonuses relevant to the current Workshop of Brilliant Light rotation to ensure you meet the damage thresholds required for the clear.

Improving Your Clear Consistency

If you find yourself failing at the final stage of the boss fight, review your build's critical hit rate and damage stats. Often, the difference between a successful clear and a timer-out is not player skill, but the optimization of your artifact sets. Ensure that your main DPS is equipped with sets that maximize attack speed and cooldown reduction to keep your skill rotations fluid throughout the encounter.
