How to kill Cerberus (Lv1-4)
6/23/2023 – Added Cerberus 4.
The strength of the Cerberus, and the number of troops needed to defeat them, etc.
Basics of Monster Battles
- Fight with only the highest tier of mounted troops.
- Increase mounted troop attack (buff values can be roughly checked in the PvP battle report). Next, increase the number of troops. If you want to get zero wounds, there is no need to raise any other factors. (Reference: How to increase buffs, etc.)
- If casualties are inevitable, the number of wounded can be halved by activating the Monarch Talent Lv6 “Mortality”. Raising mounted troop HP & mounted troop defense is also effective, but does not dramatically reduce the number of wounded.
- Add debuffs.
- Not a normal debuff, but an against-monster debuff.
- Basically, you equip Yukimura Sanada (-5% defense) with a set of 4 dragon equipment (-10% attack & defense).
- If you are fighting solo, set it on the sub-city mayor as possible (they will stack).
- If you are rallying, only one of the participants needs to participate with it (it does not stack with the number of people, it only applies to one person).
For more details, please refer to this article.
Strength of Cerberus
Basically, event bosses can be defeated if a normal boss of comparable power can be defeated. However, they often have more wounds than normal bosses. (See the “Stats” section of this article for how this works.)
Basically, they should be considered equivalent to Bayard.
Cerberus 1 causes slightly more wounded than B11-Ifrit. Cerberus 2 is only slightly weaker than B14-Behemoth. Cerberus 3 is slightly weaker than B15-Phoenix.
- Lv1 Junior Cerberus 68.2M power
- Lv2 Medium Cerberus 153.4M Power
- Lv3 Senior Cerberus 234.2M
- Lv4 Legendary Cerberus 694.9M
- Bosses with similar strength
- Bayard 4, Golem 6, Lava Turtle 6
- Weaker than Witch 6, Warlord 6
- Bosses with similar strength

ANy updates since Evony added legendary 4 cerberus? How many troops to kill without damage?
The number of troops required to achieve zero wounded is under investigation.
To previous comment: Monsters attack and defense -10% as well
Cerberus 1:
Total cavalry attack buff (including attack against monsters): +655.8% and +1206
Troops: 162500 t12 cavalries
Wounded: 0
Thanks for the info.😃 Added.
We were able to beat them without injuries, but since today’s reset, we are now seeing about 1,000 injuries. Has the force changed? 💦
I am injured as well.
Injuries were doubled in Ymir4.
I don’t know what is causing this but the server is heavy. I would like to tell Evony not to make existing enemies stronger on their own.
I have received similar comments from several people. The power values displayed in the game have not changed, so it may be a temporary glitch. I will wait and see a little more.
In detail.
Cavalry buff approx 980% T14 mounted troops 147,000
Cerberus lv2 wounded 0 -> about 7k (same for Bayard 2)
Hydra lv2 wounded 0 -> about 4.5k
Yumir lv4 about 13k -> about 26k
That said, the strength of lv1 Cerberus doesn’t seem to have changed at all.
I have a feeling this is going to be a silent fix, not a bug.
I feel discouraged.
Cerberus lv2
Mounted troops buffed about 1000%, Thunder staff lv10, t14 1,500,000 and still the same damage.
At t14 1,630,000, the damage is now 0.
I guess I now need k36 to beat it with no damage and no buffs.
Currently k35
Postscript.
Thunder staff lvl 10, mounted troops buff around 1040%, t14 1,470,000, and 0 damage!
I got to kill lvl 1 cerberus with 435k 0 wounded with Theodora 1.7 kings kit
My friend killed a lvl 2 cerb with 1.4 mil t 14 troops with aethelflead as gen
Cerberus 1: monarch gear: all cav lv. 6. without Mortality
Hannibal (Lv 30, 4 star +800, Bird of hurricane, book mounted atack lv.1 10%)
Gear: General x 4
539k T11=W 2143. 225k T12=2.1k W
600k T11=W0
Gear: King x 6
539k T11, W 0. 225k T12=1.7k W
—-
Martinus (Lv 22, 3 star +600, Fafner lv.1, books: HP cav, HP cav against monster)
Gear: General x 4
539k T11, W 2009. 225k T12= 3.2k W
600k T11, W0
Gear: King x 6
539k T11, W 0. 225k T12= 1.6k W
Power of Generals= 1.1m with gen gear, 1.4m with king gear
I just managed to kill my first lvl1 Cerberus with less troops than listed above:
173.000 t11 cavalry
lvl27 Li Jing with 2M power and 5 star king gear
3194 wounded
With very cavalry centered research though.
I was able to defeat Cerberus LV2 with T14 archer 2,100,000, attack buff 1470%, Elektra, 8000 wounded.
Cerberus LV3 was defeated by T14 Cavalry 2,600,000, Attack Buff 1250%, Roland, 0 Wounded.
It looks like Cerberus rewards are going to be reduced from the Christmas event. It’s a shame.
es ist in Ordnung, ich habe ceberus lv 1 besiegt , mit 1k verwundet
Nuestra alianza intento medium cerberus con 2.8 m t12 con 147m de poder, pura caballeria y no entiendo por que nos vencio
> Our alliance attempted medium cerberus with 2.8m t12 with 147m of power, pure chivalry and I don’t understand why he beat us.
I think the cavalry attack buff is weak. Please raise it more through research and equipment etc.
