Then I just applied standard som/tom tactics. Just spam the spell ring manually for every char while chaining heavy attacks to stun them. I also abused the elemental specials.
I was also lv 11 when I did it. My party was wind element for morley and luna for girl while I controlled val with his base class (the sword has a better attack speed than the 2H sword).
i finished the second wave with 5s left.
Morley - Nomad (sylph)
Careena - base class
Set the tactics on Morley and Careena to attack the same target as the leader.
There's a seed that gives class strike damage +20% from a box on the map, equip this on Morley.
Control Val and spam heavy attacks on the knights, it does great damage and staggers well. It helps if you buff him up with thunder saber.
On the 2nd wave, swap to Morley and use his class strike. It helps if you have moon energy buff on him so you get more critical hits.
Additionally, if you have defenseless on Careena, that might help if you debuff the knights, I didn't have this spell unlocked but if you do it would certainly help.
Also, the enemies in the aerie level up with the player, so if you think you can grind a couple levels out and come back, you might find yourself even worse off.
Yeah I found this out the hard way. Annoyed that leveling makes things harder for these challenges.
Oh for real? Maybe I just need to tinker with the classes and strategy settings.
I would hate to say somebody is just bad honestly, as It did take me a little bit for the flow of his skills & follow-up timing to *click* with me, but once I got it down everything was a cake walk.
Literally all I did was use his crit enchance skill at the start of combat, then spam his heavy, then the quick followup you do immediately after the "blade dance"(heavy again immediately after landing) then right back into Hold heavy attack, rinse & repeat & that's all I did for the rest of the demo. Not exciting, but very effective. It was a night & day difference compared to using Val or Careena as a Damage dealer.
It's not the heavy attack so much as spamming reaping wave. It's not exclusive to nightblade, you can use it on nomad too, which is a better class anyway IMO.
You can cancel-spam reaping wave by pressing and holding the Y button right in the middle of the slam attack at the end to chain it back to back, like this:

Good old fashion chain casting! I don't think my brain will ever forget the sound of SoM chain casts.
I ran this with Careena and I believe the wind vessel on her and moon on the dual wielder (Morley). (I might have the elements mixed up).
I think she is a little harder than Morley and Val to do, but you can set her up for CS spam and area damage. Just be very good at dodging at the last possible moment.
Morley has a buff to help with CS gain so make sure that they are using that.
Val is... I don't know what he does, actually. He hits things, I guess. I just leave him to attack as much as he wants.
Start the fight with a full CS so you can initiate with a CS then dash in for some area attacks. The heavy armor enemies can be knocked down, but you probably won't do it much. You want to try to force grouping as much as possible with Careena so that you can AoE pull/grouping spam down the weaker enemies. Once the weak enemies are done, you can focus damage at one at a time with Morley with Val kind of on his own tanking. The key is to wait for the armor to break, dodging when needed, but otherwise keeping up the assault, and then start cycling into Careena's aoe pull. Once the armor is broken, the aoe pull will work and you can start semi-comboing into the pulls and hopefully start adding additional enemies into the pull. If the enemies recover, then return to armor break focus.
You'll likely have a second CS ready by the second wave, so you can start that wave with a CS and then CS whenever there is an opportunity.
Its not some OP skill that will make the fight easy, it is however one of the best attacks the game has. I found myself having much more luck with Val's heavy using greatsword, simply because it has more stagger and I was able to stagger the knights more and that way have careena and morley do their thing when I switched to them.
Wasnt easy on hard though, due to the AI being so incredibly stupid that I had to micro manage all of it.
