Valkyrie CIEL clears Libertas Descended (Solo)

Greeting, fellow PAD players!

This time we're doing Libertas Descended - Annihilation with Valkyrie CIEL in solo play. It was kinda hard getting all attributes into the team. Fortunately there are a few Healer type with assorted attributes on our box. Some are descended or free cards such as Eir and Moogle. Moogle is great for Valkyrie CIEL team because of his awakenings and low CD skill so he can carry much needed skills assist.

This is our team:

Kralice Rapier (Rathian weapon equip) is to ensure that we have 100% poison resist since the boss will spams poison every other turn, and Trojan Horse has one jammer resist so we have 60% jammer resist to help when the boss spams bomb orbs while heavily decreased move time. Moogle also has 40% blind resist that helps on the boss. We actually forgot to put an enhance on our team. Probably should have use Carat or Sheen instead of Chocolate Box. We thought that Chocolate box would help with healing but Eir and Hestia each has three Heart OE so healing isn't an issue. Heart TPA heals far too much with this team.

The annoying floors are indeed the third floor (Awoken Apollo) and the boss itself. Awoken Apollo has 7 combo shield while having 50% resolve and will kill most team when being dropped to 10% or lower HP. He has 300% gravity. A 75% shield would save the team or a 50% shield for team with built-in shield. This team doesn't have built-in shield so it won't survive Apollo execution hit. Our strategy is to stall the combo shield (if somehow we can't manage to get 8 combo with FUA first turn), then chip his HP to erase his resolve before killing him. We thought that Chocolate box assist on Hestia would come up in time so we can make an 8 combo FUA but that plan was going down the drain.

Sakura Matou assist has similar skill to Eir which is recover bind and awoken skill bind for 5 turns. It's needed on the boss when her HP goes lower than 50%. Libertas will binds awoken skills for 5 turns and if you can't free the bind she will binds your skills for 5 turns. We can't imagine fighting Libertas without awakenings and no skills to use.

Sanosuke Sagara assist on Moogle is solely to kill Gaia easily even though his skill lower our team's HP to 50% but it is fast. We could use Balboa with 1 turn longer cool down than Sanosuke Sagara, but eh it gets the job done without problem.

We actually picked up Valkyrie CIEL friend with Astraea assist to one shot the boss but like we said, we forgot to bring an enhance so that assist never see the daylight lol.

Initially we use Madoo team but we faced with bitter reality that our Madoo team simply doesn't have enough HP to tank the first floor's preemptive. We could tweak the team and put some Fire Damage Resist++ latents so we could tank the hit but it will be a waste of resources since we already put assorted latents on our Madoo team.

Here's our Valkyrie CIEL run:



Hope you enjoy it, have fun and good luck. See you next time!
