Heal skip is a mechanic topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2022-03-16. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Tips

  • Gnomonkey's ballista tech: when an XP drop will put Dawn below 250 HP, switch to the ballista and fire one final time; this adds DPS during downtime and makes the later heal skip more consistent because the HP carries over.1
  • A dark bow loses so many ticks that you lose a tick scything on the next phase, so he does not use it for the Dawn ballista tech.1
  • Gnomonkey estimates roughly 95% of the time Dawn dies before the healing orbs are a problem, so he DPSes Dawn with the blowpipe instead of running around absorbing orbs.2
  • If a healing orb lands next to Dawn, Gnomonkey optionally absorbs it between blowpipe shots for insurance; the closer an orb is to Dawn, the faster she absorbs it when it has grown.2
  • To make the heal skip more consistent, Gnomonkey does not wait for the auto smasher but uses the rock hammer on Dawn right after a blowpipe shot that brings her to zero HP, saving a tick or two.3
  • If Dawn hovers around 50 HP and Gnomonkey thinks he will miss the heal skip, he sends a desperation heavy ballista shot (which can hit over a 60) and readies the rock hammer, but says he would not count on it.3
  • Dawn's freezing orb landing next to you almost always makes you fail the heal skip, though it is rare; Gnomonkey still got the heal skip twice after being frozen, so he says not to stop attacking.4

Trivia

  • In the Grotesque Guardians portal phase, Dawn throws out three healing orbs that slowly grow; if allowed to fully grow (roughly 20 seconds) they flow to Dawn and heal 90 HP each.5
