I'm tryna beat the lace 2nd fight, what's the best crest for her?

I've had some of my friends tell me the wanderers crest is good, but i need an opinion from a pro at the game

Wanderers gives you the most dps as is. If you don't need a second red tool and can deal with short attack range (which is usually the case), then it's good for you.

If you can not take much damage or used to 45° pogo, hunters is a classic choise.

If you have unlimited resourses and want to spam kill a boss, architects can give you as much tools as you want (albeit it has very awkward attcks)

Reaper crest. (it has low very dps for barely any pros, but if you strugle to sustain yourself it might be not that terrible)

If you crave for faster high risk combat where you can go berserk and tank damage, beast is a great crest

If you want a damage nuke, choose witch.

if you want to improve silk skills, use shamans.

You need an opinion from a pro? Use what best suits you. Reaper is great for always having silk, wanderer has great dps but you cant utilize it very well agains Lace. Beast can be good due to the shredding but use what is best for you.

A good way to find boss strategy is to youtube the boss name and then "no hit no tools". Its just 100% nail finding the best openings. Check out this video and try to get the same rhythm and only attack when there is an opening. No need to rush! Good luck!
