This is a very effective Norn Fighting Tournament (solo quest) build. Players find it extremely useful as it can be used with any character to quickly and efficiently complete the quest Round One: Fight! and/or collect Bison Championship Tokens. Each round takes approximately 15 seconds to complete. (Including the 6th and final round, Magni the Bison).

Here are the templates for each profession:

  • Warrior: OQgiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Ranger: OggiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Elementalist: OghiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Mesmer: OQhiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Necromancer: OAhiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Monk: OwgiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Assassin: OwhiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Ritualist (Rt/Any): OACiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Dervish: OgiiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • Paragon: OQiiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC Download
  • If your character is a primary Ritualist, then higher attributes (runes, headgear) will obviously yield better results

Equipment

  • Any armour is sufficient, preferably with Radiant Insignia, a Rune of Superior Vigor and runes of Attunement
  • Weapons
    • For characters with a low base energy, a +15/-1 wand and focus may be required for a fast skill chain – the combo requires approximately 55 max energy to chain without breaks

Usage

  • Walk into the gateway, stopping halfway through (You may fail to find the correct spot at first but it can be done with some practice)
  • Cast your spirits (If you positioned yourself correctly in the previous step, the spirits will still be able to attack through the door after it closes)
    • Against foes with AoE damage, consider moving sideways after casting so that the spirits will not be quickly destroyed
    • Against certain opponents, you may save time by leaving out Shadowsong (which is not useful vs. spellcasters) or Dissonance (which is useful mainly vs. casters) Experiment to find the fastest combination of spirits for each opponent
  • Aggravate your opponent using Painful Bond followed by Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support. Use "You Move Like a Dwarf!" to interrupt any potentially threatening skill your opponent may attempt to use (It does some damage as well)
  • Repeat the above procedure for all opponents leading up to Magni the Bison. Against Magni, walk into the gateway and casts spirits, as before, then:
    • Aggro with EVAS
    • Move towards him and, when in range, use "YMLaD!" to interrupt his Bear Form (While not in Bear Form he has less health and therefore is defeated faster. However, his Bear Form has a very short casting time, often allowing him to successfully transform before he can be interrupted. This also takes practice, particularly in estimating the range of "YMLaD!")
    • Use Painful Bond only after he has used Purge Signet, otherwise he will simply remove the hex

Counters

  • AoE (Scythes, Cynn)
  • Melonni if she gets her form up
  • Razah can be difficult
  • Warmaster Tydus uses a longbow so your spirits sometimes cannot hit (position yourself in the corner to pull him closer)
  • Gwen will also spam Spiritual Pain to quickly destroy your spirits

Variants

Any offensive spirit can be substituted for any other skill that is unavailable for any reason, including:

  • Anguish for double damage on foes with a hex

Also consider:
