These DoA tactics are designed to run 5 mesmers in a casual environment, omitting the monk seeder for more spiking power. It is not recommended for inexperienced players.

Tactics specific to 5 Mesmer Tactics

  • TK Takes 1st Snake, VoR takes 2nd.
  • Edge of Extinction is placed twice in city for both balls. This may sometimes result in the VoR being late for the second spike. Other mesmers should still start the spike.
  • While going backway in Veil, the Trench Tank should still pop the trench from the back while the team is doing 6-0. Don't pop if you aren't on time.
  • The Me/Mo splits off with the MT after clover to kill necro lord.
  • The Me/Mo can kill the MLK tendril, if the MLK is busy with the trench pop.

Optionals

Tanks

MLK

  • Mistrust over Shatter if your team is really bad at foundry.

Me/Mo

  • Shatter over Empathy if for some reason you need stronger spiking. MT should pop a stone after ele lord is dead.

Pros

  • The teambuild is capable of a very fast casual run. The extra spiker makes it easier for experienced teams to achieve fast times.
  • Everyone has a Shadow step, which makes transitions faster and easier.

Cons

  • The builds require experienced players on almost every role.
  • No UA or Seed of Life means players are punished harder for mistakes.
  • The MT needs to be able to do Jadoth and Ranger without seed.
  • Edge of Extinction on VoR means they will be late for some spikes.
