Shoutout to @tcnnerr on Xbox NA for answering a lot of my vDSR questions cuz I was outdated :PepeDenthead:

Some extra info that might be helpful:
1. The Red CP "Expert Evasion" is really useful throughout the whole trial, but especially for free roll dodges for Waves on Taleria. "Slippery" is also a decent one but I've heard it's finnicky since it takes a second to break you free.

2. You can roll towards the end of Maelstrom to negate a lot of its damage if in a dire situation.

3. Bridge teams: remember to wait for Maelstrom to be over (if it's about to happen) before running to the Bridge.

4. Sometimes it's not possible to kill all 3 Matrons during the initial Ice Storm because they spawn in unfortunate places/timing. Don't worry about it.

5. Sometimes a Matron can CC you while a Wave is about to go off. This is almost certain death, but you can try to prevent this by stepping out of the Wave before the CC happens.

6. Lastly, most of y'all might already know but, when a Mage spawns you have 60 seconds to bring it down to 50% HP before it wipes the group. Technically this is more like 65-70 seconds since the Mage will stand there for a short while before casting Dreadsail Ascension. This 65-70 seconds is the DPS race if your team is ignoring a Mage.
