DMS(Dead Mans Shadow) is a very hard area. Crew and indiviudal stamina and safety is important to the survival of this new area. To keep everyone alive in DMS there are a few strategies and techiques needed to survive DMS and be able to defeat Kamilla. In this mini-series we will discuss the strategies used in DMS. We will even discuss Yellow Rooms Green Rooms Hundred Percent Room and defeating Kamilla.

We are starting out with the aggro method. This particular method is a method that tries to keep everyone in the crew safe. This method is also easy to understand and use so it is taught to newbie crews when they first enter dms.

To use this method crew members must have all buffs and debuffs and CC. 5 of the members will carry 2 buffs bandage and wish. The aggro will use a different set. For more information on that see below.


The aggro can have two possbile ringsets depending if you are luring by attacking the animated or not luring.

The non luring method will normally consist of: meat, wish,bandage,diagnose,fitness/fitness,debuff/quicksand, sugar.


The luring method ringset will consist of: Wish, Bandage, Diagnose, Meat, Integrity, diagnose, any long range(hot foot, solar, shark attack), and one buff.


To first get the aggro, try to go in to each room first and wait for the others. Make sure you have your rage meter full. When your crew is all in and they start getting attacked, full rage Wish or Diagnose on the whole lot of them. This should give you the aggro. Continue spam-healing yourself and members of your crew to maintain the aggro.

You should create a new folder on your desktop or another easily accessible area of your computer and call it something like DMS AGGRO METHOD or something like that. Then, you should make several Notepad documents with these rules so you can explain to anybody in your crew how to use the aggro method and what not to do when you're in a crew using the aggro method. Label each document something like AGGRO 1, AGGRO 2, or whatever, so you can keep track of each. When you get in a crew with people who do not understand the method, you can open the folder and copy and paste in to the chat box each line of the rules. The chatbox only takes so many words, so don't try to cram it all in there together. This is what each notepad document should say:

This crew is for the aggro method. This is how the aggro method works: One person, me, will wear healing rings and I will constantly be healing.

I will come in to each new room healing. When we come into each room, I expect people to cat or tape the monsters at the entrance.

I will pick a place in the room to hide out. Don't follow me. Once all the monsters are away from the entrance, either killed, or back to their original positions, rest and relax.

Do not heal yourselves or each other in any way. If this works correctly, the other monsters will not attack you on these conditions:

Condition 1: do not stand behind me. Condition 2: Do not use healing.

This method works on all of the yellow rooms. Full rage one of your buffs before we leave each room.

Stand behind the monster who is attacking me so you will not receive any damage. Do not worry about healing me, I am healing myself to maintain the aggro.


And, of course, at this point, you can see if they all understand this. This method only works in the yellow rooms.
