Path of Ascension: Artemede's Challenge

I did this back in 2022 on another account, but could not remember the snag of why I could not fight the Splinterbark Nightmare as Mikanikos. I looked up the fight in a search and found the 'bug' as some have called it regarding Bron not having any energy when the fight starts. That was the que to recall that as a higher level player than the SL NPC's, (I'm 80, they are 60, and back then we were just in the first season of Dragonflight, I was already 70) they do little to no damage to you even when you are in the champion vehicle playing one of the three champions: Mikanikos, Kleia or Pelagos.

You can move the vehicle (Bron) to the Splinterbark Nighmare, and try to use the 1 command to do an Overhead Smash, but nothing happens because you have no energy to do this. What I did was simple, I walked into the boss's hitbox (aggro area, kind of right through it), to get it to start attacking Bron, then my energy began to charge up. It takes a bit, 29-30 seconds to reach 100 energy then I did the 1 command with energy this time, smash, and won the fight on the Loyality difficulty. This was all I needed to do, I did not have to use the 4 command "High-Tech Relocation" to leave Bron as the Mikanikos Champion, I just had to charge up some energy to actually use the damage commands to the boss.
