Mechanics[]

Players can select a trial crystal to do a list of conditions to earn enough points for the trial crystal boss battle to open. After beating it, the packs given in those crystals will offer Nth Metal, Valorium Alloy, and a random reward. The Phantom Zone crystal will also be powered up, get all five powered up and the player will receive a random character card and either a random support card or gear card.

Crystal Difficulty[]

There are 3 crystals of different difficulties: Trainee, Veteran and Elite. Completing any of them at any combination will have a varying chance of rewarding a Metal character nonetheless, with 5 Trainee crystals rewarding a high chance for Bronze and Silver characters with an extremely low chance for Metal ones and 5 Elite crystals rewarding a high chance for Gold characters with a decent chance for Metal ones. Combining different crystals will change the Ultimate reward accordingly.

Contrary to popular belief, Elite Crystals are actually much easier to complete, although players that are just starting out might have a harder time completing it due to lacking a few essential gears and characters to complete certain conditions (e.g. Steal Health or Steal Power).

Tips[]

The Mirror Match in Bonus Battle 6 is an excellent place to completing objectives, as you can face the enemies you want:

• Doomsday/Containment: An excellent meat-shield that can Resurrect 3 times, best used for performing super moves and inflicting DOT.
• The Flash/Regime: Useful for blocking objectives.

For casual grinding, performing the objectives in Online Battle is heavily recommended due to the multipliers on missions, and there are winning matches and Online Battle matches objectives as well.

coupled with The Joker/Prime and The Joker/Insurgency you can take out 70% health and use Tantu Totem to get supermove really quickly. This makes elite bosses threat almost nonexistent

Defeating Bosses[]

There are many techniques to defeat elite phantom zone bosses, even without highly promoted characters or hard-to-unlock multiplayer gears. Found below are a few of them. A video demonstration of all techniques below is found in this Reddit post.

Two instrumental characters in these methods are The Joker/Prime and The Joker/Insurgency. The boss loses 30% of his/her total HP when Joker/Prime is knocked out and 40% when Joker/Insurgency is knocked out, for a total of 70% if one has both characters on the team. This means the remaining character only has to deal 30% of the boss’s HP. Note that these two cards can even be at elite 0, level 1. Their purpose is to die. For safety, make sure the enemy wastes power on killing them.

Method 1: Any Strong Character + Double Joker[]

• If one has a strong enough character that can deal about 70k damage to take out that last 30% of HP, use it. Some good choices are Catwoman/Batman Ninja, Jessica Cruz/Rebirth, or Batman/Flashpoint with basic damage gear.
  • For Batman Ninja Catwoman, try to tag her out and in out frequently so her rage is active as much as possible.
• The methods below are for those who don’t have any strong enough characters to do 70k damage on their own. (They also are faster than the above method if you have both options available to you).

Method 2: Batman/Arkham Origins + DOT Gear + Double Joker[]

Required Characters:

• Batman/Arkham Origins
• Joker/Prime
• Joker/Insurgency

Required Gear:

• League of Assassins Adept Blade (at the minimum evolved and at +5)
  • Can be replaced with/used alongside Ibistick (minimum evolved and at +5).

The simplest way to eliminate 30% of the boss’s health. Batman starts with 2 bars of power automatically, and his SP1 applies any gear DOT twice. This means he can apply the 10% gear DOT 4 times immediately, dealing up to 40% of the boss’s health just from DOT. Knock out the Jokers and he just has to do one finishing basic attack.

You only need to have 7.5% gear DOT applied 4 times to deal a total of 30% HP, so the League of Assassins Blade evolved and at +5 works just fine.

Alternative Characters:

• Batman/Arkham Origins can be bought directly from the store, and he is the best for this task because of his 2 starting bars of power.
• However, there is a full list of characters that can apply gear DOT multiple times on a special on the Ibistick wiki page. Use them with power-buffing gears and DOT gears.

This strategy does not work versus special dodging characters like Wally West/Rebirth or Batman/Dawn of Justice. See the next method.

Method 2: Batgirl/Cassandra Cain + Double Joker[]

Required Characters:

• Batgirl/Cassandra Cain
• Joker/Prime
• Joker/Insurgency

Required Gear: None.

Optional Gear:

• Any gear that buffs basic damage (Power Gloves, Mark of Lady Shiva, any Rare basic damage gears).
• If the opponent is not Wally West or Dawn of Justice Batman, power buffing gears (Infernal Symbol, Weaponized Kryptonite) so she can do her SP1 to help deal with that last bit of health.

This is one of the best ways to deal with that last 30% health of Wally West or Dawn of Justice Batman. On tag-in, Cassandra Cain immediately eliminates 25% of the enemy's current health, meaning she just has to deal with 5% of the enemy health pool. Make sure to tag her in at the start of the battle while the enemy is full HP. After that, she can juggle quite effectively with light attacks until you can tag in both Jokers to die out. All that will be left is a sliver of health to deal with.

Alternative Characters:

• Raven/Teen Titans also has a passive that takes away 25% of health, but this only triggers on a special and it isn’t guaranteed like Cassandra Cain's. Using her might take a few tries and it won’t work well against Wally West or Dawn of Justice Batman.

Method 3: The Joker/The Killing Joke + SP1 Bleed Character[]

Required Characters:

• Joker/The Killing Joke
• Any character that applies bleed on SP1, such as any version of Catwoman or Aquaman.
• Joker/Prime or Joker/Insurgency

Required Gear:

• League of Assassins Adept Blade (at the minimum evolved and at +3 or +4)
  • Can be replaced with/used alongside Ibistick.
• Enchantress (does not need to be fused)

Optional Gear:

• Blocking gear to help the last Joker survive longer so the DOT can run its full course.

This requires 2 pieces of 4-star survivor gear and Killing Joke Joker, but it’s more accessible than method 2 because it doesn’t need an multiplayer character. It can be done with a bronze Catwoman/Regime as well provided she doesn’t get hit by any basics.

This strategy makes use of a few mechanics:

• When Killing Joke Joker is knocked out, he gives the whole team 3 bars of power.
• The bleed on SP1 character uses this to launch her SP1 three times, which causes bleeding. A bleeding character takes 20% increased damage from all sources, and in this case 3 SP1 bleeds can stack for a total of 60% increased damage.
• From three SP1s alone there are 3 applications of League of Assassins Blade’s DOT, but with Enchantress, if skulls hit in the middle of her special, they will also apply the gear's DOT. This can leave the boss at less than 20% HP.

This strategy does not work versus special dodging characters like Wally West/Rebirth or Batman/Dawn of Justice. See the previous method.
