GMS planning reference
Hard Darknell
Compare the larger nominal combat pool with actual measured solo and party inputs.
Encounter reference
- Entry level
- 255
- Maximum party
- 6 players
- Clear frequency
- weekly
Difficulties share this boss's weekly clear limit. Entry level is a prerequisite, not a recommendation or proof that a character can clear. This retained catalog was reviewed September 23, 2026. Catalog reference source
Nominal HP reference
160T
Starting HP from the retained v270 community workbook, excluding shields, healing and summons. This is a carried reference assumption, not a new current-patch calibration or a complete phase model. Original workbook, row 31
The retained Hard pool is 6.15 times the Normal pool. That is an HP comparison, not a claim that the same character takes 6.15 times as long to clear.
Plan around a range
Hard Darknell's nominal pool is larger than Normal's in the retained reference. A range of measured damage and uptime gives a more inspectable comparison than a single assumed DPS. Keep the lower and upper assumptions visible when judging an upgrade's likely effect.
A timer verdict needs a timer
Starting HP does not supply the encounter clock. The prediction engine may calculate conditional work time from complete inputs while withholding a timer verdict if a required clock or phase detail is missing. That distinction keeps a reference calculation from becoming a clearability claim.
Compare solo and actual party inputs
Explore conditional aggregate work using your own damage measurements. The retained HP reference is prefilled; measurements, clocks and encounter assumptions start unknown. This is not a gameplay-calibrated clear-time prediction.
Solo
Not calibrated for these inputs
Add the missing measured inputs and encounter conditions.
- Region and patch are required.
- Source or explicit assumption is missing.
- Current member condition is unknown.
7 more conditions are listed below.
GMS · Patch unknown
Assumptions and sources
Time ranges are conditional parameter envelopes, not statistical confidence intervals. Constant rates do not model burst timing, shared cooldowns, cleave, survival, health locks or changing targetability. Sequential stages, disjoint concurrent rooms and sequential independent pools only. A supplied HEXA score is display context and never supplies damage.
- Region and patch are required.
- Source or explicit assumption is missing.
- Current member condition is unknown.
- Member region/patch does not match the encounter.
- Matching measured damage and duration are missing.
- An explicit ordered finite interval is required.
- Additional clock applicability is unknown.
- Required full kills are unknown.
- Target conditions are missing.
- Additional clock applicability is unknown: global timer.
- Retained nominal HP reference (assumption): Authored v270 nominal aggregate, carried under the unchanged-field rule; not newly measured current HP. Phase partitions and extra work are unresolved.
Model measured-stationary-rooms/2026-10-11-v1. Independent gameplay accuracy is not established.
Party
Not calibrated for these inputs
Add the missing measured inputs and encounter conditions.
- Region and patch are required.
- Supply distinct actual members, at most six.
- A party scenario requires at least two actual members.

Uses the supplied window average; phase, burst and survival checks remain unvalidated.

Nominal aggregate workload; phase structure unresolved · explicit assumptions
Nominal HP: 160–160 trillion. Authored v270 nominal aggregate, carried under the unchanged-field rule; not newly measured current HP. Phase partitions and extra work are unresolved.
Missing clocks remain unknown. This aggregate calculation does not establish a boss phase graph or a clear probability.

These ranges describe the supplied scenario. They are not a win probability or a measured accuracy claim.
