(added some more information about cloudburst usage, cloudburst is 3-4 times faster (even with adjusted time, even with surge 2) than gust)

The idea is to get out of stun faster than {{MonsterIcon|Terran}} can attack if you're under the effect of his slow (+33% attack interval inflicted by Grasping Roots). Weapons with a 2.6 second attack interval will get away in time, however weapons with a 3.0 second interval will not without the use of interval reduction bonuses. Therefore, it is only safe to use {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} while using {{Icon|Surge I|type=aurora}} or {{Icon|Surge II|type=aurora}} at this point of progression.

Due to the Combat Triangle, it is recommended to clear the

because the enemies here are mostly

, including the final boss Terran. The idea is to get out of stun faster than Terran can attack if you're under the effect of his slow (+33% attack interval inflicted by Grasping Roots). Weapons with a 2.6 second attack interval will get away in time, however weapons with a 3.0 second interval will not without the use of interval reduction bonuses. Therefore, it is only safe to use Cloudburst Staff while using

Check if you can idle the dungeon with the Combat Simulator. You can get away from the stun of some creatures in time, so it's hard to use Can I Idle correctly in this case.

Use Silver Diamond Ring, Infernal Cape, and Dragonfire Shield if you don't have enough DR.

Ring of Wealth or Aorpheat's Signet Ring can be used if you don't have the Warlock Ring, but the adjusted drop time is worse with them.

FEZ is good but not mandatory.

If you have unused Water Chests, you might want to open them for the Magic Wand (Elite).
