La RUN et ASTUCES du SPEEDRUSH sur DOFUS
Main summary
Key takeaways
Speedrush (DOFUS) — Storyline & What It Is
- There is no real “story mode.”
- The video explains Speedrush, a PVM (PvE) experience-grind competition where:
- All participants start at level 1 on a dedicated server with x3 XP.
- A special enchantment provides an exopa-like effect (not dependent on gear), including AP/MP simulation.
- The event runs two days, with scheduled play windows and timed XP bonuses.
Note: The competition focuses on efficient XP farming through speedrun-style dungeon clears, not narrative progression.
Event Schedule / Key Rules
Server Time (approx.)
- Saturday (May 30)
- Server opens: 2:00 PM
- Rush starts: 3:00 PM
- First day ends: midnight
- Sunday
- Resumes: 2:00 PM
- Ends: 11:00 PM
- Total stated play time: ~15 hours
XP Boost Windows
- “Anomaly zones” appear during the event:
- Starting from 1:30 AM, anomalies create six anomaly zones on a 30-minute cadence.
- During anomalies: XP is 200% (instead of 120% usual behavior).
- Outside anomaly zones: you get 0% (in-zone bonus), though x3 base XP still applies.
- Anomalies are announced 30 minutes in advance so players can prepare.
Random Staff Bonuses
- Before each phase, staff roll a bonus such as:
- +AP or +MP
- +20% final damage
- +50% vitality
Access / Convenience Rules
- Unlimited keys
- No “magic forge”, but gear is available in a designated area
- Teleportation potion + recall available (Bonta / Brakmar / Bibliotemple)
- Unlimited class change potion (depending on content)
- Easy class + gear swapping to speed up experimentation for speed routes
Anti-cheat / Restrictions
- Dimension dungeons are closed (no Evil Eye and similar closed content)
- If a player reaches level 200, they can no longer participate in fights
- No XP locking on the tournament server (prevents mule “XP inflation”)
- No trading between players
- Rankings may be delayed while anti-cheat validates timing patterns (clicks/turns/monster behavior)
Gameplay Highlights (How Speedruns are Played)
Core Loop: “Enter Dungeon → Clear → Reset”
The dominant strategy described:
- Start a dungeon run
- Fight in room 2 (or a specific targeted room)
- Leave and return to room 1
- Repeat a near loop to farm experience efficiently
Emphasis from the video:
- Best runs focus on:
- Short fights
- Ideally one-turn clears so mobs don’t act
Solo vs Team
- In “classic” speedrushing, solo often wins.
- This event can favor teams because:
- Everyone can access strong gear and strong mechanics
- Teams can be built for consistent room wipes in 1 turn
Team composition emphasis:
- The speaker repeatedly references Hio Sadi teams as extremely common/optimized due to portal placement advantages that enable fast redirections and quick group clearing.
Preparation & Strategies / Key Tips
Pre-register / Use the Beta
- The speaker recommends pre-registering, even if you plan to grind only a few hours.
- Use the beta to test:
- Routes
- Gearing
- On event day, you must redo setups on the official client.
- If you reach level 200 during the event, you receive an XP potion reward that can raise you to level 200 (plus other rewards such as titles and XP-related items).
Beta Preparation: Leveling / Professions / Familiars
Practical prep steps summarized:
- Download and play the beta
- Skip tutorials and use:
- Potion/entry mechanics to access merchants (a “duty free” area is mentioned)
- Level-up scrolls (including “accelerating scroll”)
- Scrolls to level professions
- Familiars leveling via the relevant NPC
- Class change potions to test class swaps
- Gear from level brackets, upgrading it via professions
- Dungeon teleportation runes are bought from an NPC
- Not all dungeons/modes are available the same way as on live servers
Lag / Time Optimization Settings (important for fast clicking)
The video recommends multiple tweaks to reduce downtime and misclicks:
- Use SD quality and low game quality
- Disable environmental effects
- Combat UI/display:
- Clearly show turn order
- Disable distance/movement previews and other animation previews where possible
- Use mandatory “creature mode” for clarity/performance
- Reduce interface interactions:
- Minimize combat prompts so you don’t repeatedly click “proceed”
- Reduce NPC window delay:
- Disable NPC speech animation/overlay via the small menu dots
Use Placement Tools on Discord
The speaker promotes a placement Discord to:
- View room layouts and mob positions
- Theorycraft placements mentally without fully entering the dungeon
Workflow described:
- Join the placement Discord
- Use a bot/command (examples like
/digor searching terms such as “mensau”) - Enter a room number/placement ID to load “loot/placement” data
Key idea:
- Placements influence whether mobs spawn in formations that support 1-turn clears.
Gear & Character Strategy (Example Route Approach)
The speaker emphasizes optimization logic rather than a single universal build.
Early Levels
- Choose a class that can rapidly kill and chain into dungeon/room clears.
- Example mentioned for level 1+:
- A class noted as exceptionally strong early due to bone boosting base damage (identified as likely best at level 1/5).
Progression Phases
- Equipment changes as better gear unlocks at level thresholds.
- Familiar/booster mechanics (kibble/feeding during transitions) keep damage consistent.
Stat Planning Principle
- Balance damage vs Wisdom:
- If damage is already enough to clear reliably, pushing Wisdom can improve XP efficiency.
Elemental Route Examples (high level)
- Fire path and Earth/Fire variations are discussed.
- Dungeon choice depends on how your damage element interacts with mob resistances.
Dungeon / Room Micro-Strategy (Turn-1 Clearing)
A major part of the video explains how plans execute room-by-room.
Common later-section pattern:
- Use a spell sequence (example names shown in the video):
- Prelude → Eclipse → Muspel → Fire Lance (or another fire spell)
- Place spear/Eclipse to cluster mobs into groups of 4.
- Ensure positioning so:
- Muspel wipes priority targets
- Optional follow-up “fire hoses” or repeated actions finish the pack
RNG note:
- Sometimes mobs won’t cluster perfectly, requiring small adjustments (stats/placements) to maintain consistent “full clean” runs.
Key Timing / “Only Count Real XP” Reminders
- On official servers, beta experience bonuses may differ:
- Beta might display extra XP bonuses that official servers do not.
- Some announcements may imply you should subtract/adjust XP during practice if beta rules differ.
Gamers / Sources Mentioned at the End
Referenced names and community sources include:
- Sass (prepared outfit / archetype)
