Empress Cygnus (BOSS GUIDE) Part 1

Right I've been procrastinating for sometime since its holidays but finally here's the empress guide. We'll first start with summons.
To get into the boss map do the quests at Henesy ruins majority of these quests are from chief stan in the ruins.
Empress Cygnus will summon two sets of knights throughout the whole boss run. So we'll refer to first set as V1 and second set as V2
First thing when entering the cygnus map is to rush the empress -> right side of the map asap. This will seperate the spawning knights from the actual boss making it easier to kill them. Cygnus will summon them one by one, once summoned the empress goes into hibernation literally attacks are useless you must defeat all the knights asap before attacking the empress.

V1 Knight Summon Stats

V1 Mihile

These Knight summons in all honestly are a pain to deal with since they have skills...
These skills do not change as far as im aware. A good idea is to rush all the summons to the left side of map so when the knight summon is defeated those stronghold spawn can be killed without too much effort, otherwise they'll blend in with the empress.
Mihile: Summons Advanced Knight E, level 188, can break through holy shell (bishop skill) with one strike of soul driver, commonly uses soul driver and soul blade.
Oz:Seals, summon Advanced Knight B (the mini oz's), summon Ifrit, use explosion, use fire pillar, Meteor strike (ulti) and flame gear. Oz has the tendancy of "disappearing" off the screen and becoming a blue smudge because she uses the skill teleport mastery to deal damage after jumping. When this happens your computer cannot catch up to the speed at which she is teleporting so she becomes a smudge. While you cannot deal damage in her smudge phase, it unglitches after she jumps again. During this time you do not receive touch damage from her but you also cannot attack her. You can use this time to kill her summons, heal/use a potion, rebuff or keep attacking until she unglitches. (Note: Not sure if its still glitched)
Irena:Summons Advanced Knight D, weak to fire. Commonly uses wind piercing, and arrow rain. She has a skill that can kill anyone in party with 1 hit.
Eckhart:Uses shadow web (stun lock), summon Advanced Knight A, Avenger and Vampire. Bishop should stand back when Eckhart is summoned so that he can heal the party while the rest of the party is webbed.
Hawkeye:Summons Advanced Knight C weak to poison. Commonly uses sharkwave and shockwave.
^from Basil's rawritzcynthia's Cygnus guide
One summon which does not fit into the knight category is Shinsoo. Thankfully his not too much of a threat

Shinsoo

Lv190
HP: 70,000,000
EXP: ???

Thankfully Shinsoo's main function is to protect Empress and recover HP/MP of nearby mobs by 21,000,000/150,000. If he is summoned just kill him quickly and/or rush him away from the other mobs. However MULTIPLE Shinsoos can be summoned AT ONCE by Empress.
Back to knight summons. The knight summons drop empress armour e.g. glove, overall and stuff they DO NOT drop weapons the empress herself drop weapons V1 knights have a lower drop rate for armour than V2 of course but doesn't hurt to try your luck if you paladin.
