To clear the Abandoned Circle dungeon on Hell difficulty in Wartune Ultra, apply an Armor Break debuff to the boss before casting your main damage skills. The boss in this advanced class dungeon features massive base defense, which heavily reduces standard attacks and high-multiplier ultimates alike. Stripping that defense is necessary to deal effective damage and clear the stage before taking excessive area-of-effect damage.
Armor Break Timing and Combat Flow
Striking the boss while its defense remains intact results in severely reduced damage numbers. Armor Break lowers the target's defense threshold, allowing your attacks to deal full damage values.
| Phase State | Boss Mitigation | Damage Output | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral State | Full base defense active | Heavily reduced | Build resources; hold awakening skills |
| Debuffed State | Defense significantly lowered | Full burst and critical damage | Unleash awakenings, runes, and high-tier nukes |
To maximize your damage phases, execute skills in this sequence:
- Build Resources: Use basic generators to stock the Rage or energy required for your primary skills and utility cooldowns.
- Inflict Armor Break: Land your defense-shredding debuff as soon as your resources are ready.
- Trigger Burst Attacks: Immediately execute your awakening attacks, Sylph skills, and high-damage class abilities while the debuff icon is active on the boss.
- Reset and Sustain: Once the debuff expires, return to basic attacks and sustain skills until your next Armor Break is ready to cast.
Do not trigger transformations or high-cost burst abilities immediately before an Armor Break wears off. Damage dealt after the debuff expires is absorbed by the boss's restored defense.
Managing Incoming Damage and Party Roles
Surviving Abandoned Circle Hell requires active mitigation alongside offensive timing. The boss frequently deals heavy single-target and party-wide damage that passive health recovery cannot counteract alone.
- Preempt Boss Burst Spikes: Cast damage-absorption shields and damage-reduction buffs during the boss's heavy attack windups rather than healing only after taking critical damage.
- Coordinate Armor Break Uptime: When running in a group, rotate defense-shredding skills sequentially. Overlapping multiple Armor Break skills at the same time wastes uptime and leaves you without debuffs during subsequent rotations.
- Synchronize Solo Attacks: In solo play with companions or Sylphs, align your manual burst skills with your companion's defense-reduction skills to prevent firing high-cost attacks into full armor.

Good guide for Wartune Ultra players. The strategy part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This guide answered the exact question I had.
