HA Venos Guide to TideBorn Challenge: Blood Combat

Begin the challenge by speaking with Goshiki in Dreamweaver. Complete the journey of traveling around the world, during which you will meet up with Dizzy.

Upon completion speak with the Tide Elder and begin the coming of age quest. Note you must be lvl. 51 in order to take the quest.

As a veno you should have no trouble clearing through the challenges of Courage, Strength, and sacrifice etc. Keep in mind the Staunch Worms are not affected by magic spells so allow your fly pet to do the work.

After a series of back and forth challenges and a few boss eg. General Fang (near Tai Chi shore)
You should be at lvl 55+ at this point and back in Etherblade to speak with Dizzy about Goshiki's decision. She will ask you to promise to protect Goshiki and a new challenge will soon begin.
This Challenge will require you to do it alone and you CAN NOT BE IN A SQUAD.

Before you click confirm exit the conversation with Dizzy Summon your pet Preferably a tanker such as GW or Herc. Also be sure to have the highest lvl heal pet and move Befuddling mist (skill) to an area you will not happen to click on it. Reason being if Befuddling Mist (skill) is used during the challenge it will cause you to aggro all the mobs near you which will lead to your over all death.
Once you are ready speak to Dizzy once again and take the challenge to aid Goshiki.

Once the challenge begins you will have a 30min timer that starts the instant you are ported in. Stand where you are and wait for Goshiki to appear speak with him and he will ask you to help kill 15 Undead soldiers.

As a HA veno you will have an upper hand in comparison to the other builds. Due to our ability to attack quicker in Fox Form also the use of Amp. Damage and the ability to survive if you happen to pull aggro.

Have your pet attack one Soldier at a time. My method in this order: Amplify Damage, Spark Eruption, then Leech, attack, attack, heal pet.

This method seem to work quite well and one mob should not last you longer then 15-20 secs.

Once you complete the first round of 15 you must run back and speak with Goshiki (I suggest throwing on Summer sprint at this point, because time is of the essence)

Upon speaking with Goshiki he will then summon Tide Born warriors to aid in the battle. At this point you have to wait about 40secs before your part in this challenge begins. During this time take the time to heal you pet, lower your blood pressure and move towards your next target(s)

This Time around you will have to kill 15 Undead Officers.
When there is about 10-5 sec left on you wait clock begin Killing an officer. You should have roughly 20mins left to finish these 15 Officers off. Keep in mind that they have more health and will pose a greater challenge.
During these battles keep a close eye on your pets health because it will quickly drop every now and then.
If by this point you have built your HA veno correctly (correctly meaning your magic attack is still high enough to not worry about how many times you need to heal your pet)
You should be able to heal 2-3 times to bring it's health back to full then after this you commence with the attack.
During this battle: Amplify damage will not work and the Undead Officers will resist it's effect. b:shocked
Do not fear with Spark eruption, Stunning Blow (Veno Stun), and Fox Forms quick attack speed you should be okay.
Never the less I found this challenge slightly difficult but nothing a good HA build couldn't pull through since this battle focuses on the amount of damage you can do to quickly move on to the rest of the mobs in order to clear the 15/15 count.
