To beat the Salutations of Ashen Dreams Echo of War, you will need to defeat the featured boss, "Harmonious Choir" The Great Septimus. You may find it tricky to defeat the boss, as you have to defeat its summons first. Bring characters who wield either Fire, Lightning, or Imaginary elements as the boss and its summons are vulnerable to them.

You should also note that after a certain point, all the summons share the same HP pool which makes this boss a little bit easier. Hence, it is recommended that you form a team composition with characters who specialize in dealing AoE (Area of Effect) damage.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf inflicts bugs on the opponents which allows Acheron to activate her Ultimate ability more often. Luocha stays behind his allies to make sure they do not get knocked down while fighting.
