Overlord Rush is the free boss-rush mode in Saros: Zenith update, which you can access via the Primary Unit in the Passage hub, while no campaign completion is required to enter. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to complete Overlord Rush: Totality Set in the game.
All Overlord Rush Sets & Totality Tips
There are three Overlord Rush sets in Zenith, where each has a different purpose and a separate leaderboard:
| Sets | Features |
|---|---|
| Incursion | 3 bosses: Short practice run. |
| Ascension | 3 bosses: Another short practice set. |
| Totality | 8 bosses: Full continuous gauntlet. |
Note that Totality chains every Overlord from the main campaign in one uninterrupted sequence. Your personal score goes to global leaderboards, so be sure to train Incursion and Ascension until you can clear them consistently, and attempt Totality only after. Here are some essential tips for the Totality set:
- Keep moving constantly, since positioning matters as much as damage.
- Perfect reloads are critical, as a failed reload can leave you vulnerable for several seconds at the worst moment.
- Note that the Overdrive charging rate was adjusted specifically for Overlord Rush, so use Overdrive for high damage rather than spamming it.
- Weapon choice is key for leaderboards, since leaderboards filter by Main Weapon.
- Experiment to find what lets you clear phases fastest while staying mobile.
- Slow Game Speed, Auto-fire, Motion Sensor Aiming, and High Contrast can all help you, so use them.
All 8 Overlords Order & Best Weapons
Following the same pattern as in the main campaign, you will encounter these 8 bosses in Totality in exactly the same sequence:
- Prophet (Shattered Rise)
- Bastion (Ancient Depths)
- Rhabdom (Shattered Descent)
- Legion (Blighted Marsh)
- Architect (Desecrated Fortress)
- Shepherd (Acolyte’s Haven)
- Priestess (The Cathedral)
- The King (Yellow Shore)
As always, prioritize weak spots when they’re available, use the arena space to your advantage, and never stand still during heavy projectile phases. Here are the best weapon combos for facing all 8 Overlords:
| Main Weapons | Power Weapons | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Rifle | Nova Lance | Excellent DPS and easy tracking while moving. Nova Lance is one of the strongest pure boss weapons. |
| Ricochet Handcannon | Prominence | High raw damage and crowd control. Prominence offers strong AoE and is very versatile in longer fights. |
| Ripsaw Chakram | Nova Lance | Ripsaw’s embedded discs and alt-fire (Tormented Retract) deliver continuous damage while you focus almost entirely on dodging. Excellent for pure boss pressure, although it has a high skill ceiling. |
| Smart Rifle | Illumine | Smart Rifle is one of the best all-rounders in the game. Illumine provides consistent beam damage. |
