This is a stage guide for the Sorcerer’s Trials, “Competitive Zeal Quincy”.
Stage Guide
Party Formation
Taunt | No need |
Remove guard stance | No need |
Recommended CD | CD5 or lower skills are sufficient for this stage due to the mechanics. For maximizing the number of ultimate skill uses, CD3 is recommended. |
With the timing of the stage’s mechanics, CD3 allows for one additional use of ultimate skills compared to CD4. If you need higher damage output, prioritize characters with CD3 skills.
Battle Tips
AUTO Battle | AUTO mode is not viable |
Skills | You must manually manage ultimate skill usage. Save ultimate skills for 9n+6T turns but use them freely at other times when they are ready. |
This stage involves managing Quincy’s “ATK+1.5% UP” stacks by adding and removing them strategically.
- Basic attack: Adds +1 stack.
- Ultimate skill: Removes -2 stacks.
Quincy’s “ATK+1% UP per turn” passive stack increases her damage output as the battle progresses. Toward the end of the battle, aim to reduce the “ATK+1.5% UP” stacks to 0 to avoid taking excessive damage.
This order optimizes damage management by reducing counter damage and managing Quincy’s stacks.
- Basic attack triggers counter damage and adds +1 to the “ATK+1.5% UP” stack.
- Healing restores some of the counter damage received.
- Ultimate skill removes -2 from the “ATK+1.5% UP” stack.
Every time a character uses defense, their ATK decreases by -1% per stack, up to 50 stacks. This ATK debuff can significantly reduce your team’s overall damage.
A powerful AOE attack that ignores defense occurs at 9n+4T (e.g., 4T, 13T, 22T). Reducing Quincy’s “ATK+1.5% UP” stacks beforehand is crucial to survive this attack.
At 25% HP, Quincy activates the skill “Final Phase,” temporarily locking her HP bar.
From the turn “Final Phase” is activated, you have 6 turns to defeat Quincy. If her HP isn’t depleted within this timeframe, it will result in a forced defeat.
Buffs and Debuffs in the Stage
Each basic attack adds +1 to the stack, and four basic attacks in one turn will increase Quincy’s ATK by +6%.

- STEP29n+4T:Save ultimate skills (even CD3 skills).
[4T、13T、22T、31T、40T、49T…]
- A defense-ignoring AOE attack will occur. Using defense during this phase is only necessary to avoid counter damage or prevent ATK+ stack increases.
- STEP39n+6T:Use ultimate skills for all characters (including healers).
[6T、15T、24T、33T、42T…]
- Failure to use ultimate skills here will prevent your team from gaining the “Damage Taken -30%” buff.
- STEP49n+10T:Everyone uses defense (including healers).
[10T、19T、28T、37T、46T…]
This action triggers Quincy to heal your party’s HP, helping you recover for the next phase.
