It just dawned on me that not everyone might know this info that you are about to read soonTM and might get frustrated trying to farm or even reach higher Shards of SR.

I am sure that most of you have seen builds on the forum boasting crazy numbers like SR-100 completed or even more in the posts. But not all of them are accompanied by videos or even then it might not be apparent at first.

First things first, there are certain "spots" on the maps where you can stay and glitch out the enemy AI, but these get fixed soon after they are found out, so I won't be mentioning those here.

But one thing that the community has found out and the devs know and allow is the Camera Trick, which some like to instead call the camera/aggro abuse.

​

Before we get to that, let me explain the basic nature of pushing into higher shards. First things first, since you don't get Rewards for using Death's Waystones and farming 75-76 is the highest people go for, if you wish to push deeper, like say 90 , you need to build in terms of defense rather than go all in on offense. So I am not saying that all builds will suddenly be able to complete high shards.

Now, the Boss Room, which is where the real challenge lies. You might see people often telling you to not take on the entire room at once and instead lure the bosses 1 by 1 and fight them like that. This is because after a certain point, there are very few builds capable of surviving all the bosses at the same time. And even those builds struggle once you push into deeper shards.

So, sounds pretty easy so far right? Hug the nearest wall > move inch by inch to either side> lure just 1 boss, kill it > repeat.

Problem is that a certain patch made it hard for us to do that due to changing their placements. And that is where the camera thing comes in.

What you do is Rotate your camera/map 180 degrees, so that "North" is facing downwards and "South" is up. Do this before you enter the boss room and you will find it much easier to lure them 1 at a time. You still need to follow the advice above on Hugging the Nearest Wall and all that though.

But sometimes even that is not enough. And that is where Zooming in on your Character helps. Due to how aggro mechanics work, if you do both the camera rotation and zoom in on your char, you will see that you can get much closer to enemies before they aggro on you.

So when you get the Small SR room which we all hate without exception(I assume), just remember the above thingies and you will find it much easier to deal with. Hope this was of some use to someone atleast. Thanks for Reading :3
