I want to implement Chronotitan into my PvE battles. Currently I use a team containing Scyberithe who using Duel (In a sense similar to OoO) gives my monsters time to cook their time-on-field based attacks. What I want to know is why on earth Chronotitan has the bomb skill twice. because in my understanding placing it on two different monsters will only result in one blowing up since all enemy monsters on the field get killed at once (so also the one holding the second bomb). Is there something I overlooked? Also, I’d love to hear some more useful tips and tricks for Chronotitan and Scyberithe and ways of utilising them in battles
Bomb curse explodes after 300 secs, Bomb curse+ explodes after 200 secs. When the bomb explodes, the mons you choose will die immediately, but the monsters next to there that have the hold ground feature will continue to remain on the field. So if your opponent has no AP on the field, you can make consecutive explosions by first choosing the mons with the hold ground feature that will explode the normal bomb curse second, and then choosing the mons you will target first with the bomb curse+. Apart from the examples you mentioned, stun, Nagandia’s daunt + ability or Leira’s entrance can be used to increase the sec duration.

If you have shivadragon use him with chrono.
so you can only use both bombs effectively if the opponent has one or more hold ground monsters? what about stealthed ones?
i do. you mean using him to keep distributing health and thereby keeping chrono from dying?
any tips or tricks regarding Scyberithe guys?
Stealth can’t stop the bomb

oh, ok. so only hold ground is of use here?
It might not work on those with death immunity. My guess is that you can’t mark the bomb on him, but he might choose another target and die from the explosion. I haven’t tested it, you can ask those who have experienced it on UC. @Killerdog

The curse itself doesn’t work on death immunity, but the explosion is damage-based so it still kills them. The explosion is like it comes from the thing that’s cursed, so bypasses stealth and doesn’t count as kills for Chronotitan. It also doesn’t trigger revenges, but the one you curse counts as a kill for Chronotitan and any revenge it has is triggered.
A classic line of play I did in ultimate challenge was bomb curse+ and Aurodragon and bomb curse a Horrorclaw. The Aurodragon would explode but not kill the Horrorclaw then the Horrorclaw would explode and the enemy team would get a Chronotitan. That enemy Chronotitan was something I could either leave alive because it wasn’t a threat, get an extra copy of via mirror revenge or kill off easily.

I really want to awaken Aethereon for setups like this because he has the Time Warp move. But people keep telling me not to go for him (admittedly, otherwise he’s actually pretty bad).
As someone who’s owned Aethereon for a long time… don’t go for it.
It was one of my first awakened mythics and has never been a strong monster. It has two niches: tanky stun protection, passing 100s.
The first niche has been completely nullified by Momo being buffed, various other forms of tanky stun protection and monsters getting high damage / piercing moves.
The second niche is definitely cool and I know it’s what you’re going for, but it’s honestly not worth as much as you’d like it to be. In PvE you’re better off running something like a protector, or some sleep/stun. Scyberithe is the ultimate PvE time-passing monster if that’s something you want to go for. Double drain survivor is still fairly clunky to charge and doesn’t deal enough damage to handle mildly buffed enemies. Ultimately, Aethereon is serviceable and helps PvE strategies but isn’t good enough to warrant targeting.
sad truth
Also if you are using it in a frontline heavenswyrm is pretty useful because it can pass time by stunning, shield (if link holy) and later heal chrono to keep it alive. Its camo usually protects it for a while too.
Another thing you can use is one on one along with a bundleblazer to pass time while the opponent sleeps. This is far riskier than it used to be thanks to woolala though.
If you use it later in a team consider using vizgiarid near it to heal and shield it. (Camo monsters work really well with shivadragons hp share too.)
