Spring Fest Arena - Battle of the GodFest

Greeting, fellow PAD players!

We have a new dungeon called Spring Fest Arena that will be available for only 77 hours. How difficult it is? Well, for players with developed cards in their monster box, it shouldn't be too difficult. It's like Arena 3 difficulty without PreDra and Radar Dragons. Most enemies except the boss have only less than 10 millions HP, which by today's standard is fair and the boss has 153 millions HP. The boss is unique. It's Ancient Dragon Knight-REX, a new addition to the Fest Exclusive 7* (along with Echidna-SARA and Hera-LUNA).

One thing to note is that for teams without HP multiplier, the boss most likely will end your run if you leave him with 80% or more HP on the first turn of his attack. He will hit you for 64,575 damage when he has 80% or more HP (similar to Kali in Arena 1-3 with lower execution hit). He also puts up an 8 combo shield for 1 turn so you have to do 9 combo and get him past 80% HP to evade his execution hit. Good thing is that, like Kali, he doesn't have damage absorbs or damage void so you can just hit him with 20% or more gravity then do 0 combo to survive. For teams with HP multiplier it would be easier since most can tank hit hit.

Other things to note is that this dungeon also features enemies with resolves, Beelzebub (full poison board preemptive) and Herme-Ra (makes 13 poisons as preemptive) so the best approach to run this dungeon is to have full poison resist or have a board changer and unlocker ready for those two. The resolve enemies, depends on your team, might or might not be dangerous. Sha Wujing will kill you if you leave him with 1 HP and your team doesn't have any shield on (gravity and moderate hit when leave with 1 HP) but he can be delayed or poisoned.

If you have run Arena 3, I'd say bring your team that capable of clearing Arena 3 without much trouble with full poison resist. The boss has two types: Dragon and Machine. So if you have a card/sub that can deal huge damage to those two type, bring it. You might need a +combo skill to bypass his 8 combo shield though.

For this run, I decided to pit REX against his God Fest Exclusive comrade: Best Girl Valkyrie-CIEL.

My team is loaded with so many Dragon Killer so it will have no mercy to Dragons. Also, with some Grodin equip, Typhon Avatar of Destruction Card and Sleipnir assist, my team can reach more than 180,000 with 15% Team HP badge. That's pretty big for a Healer team. Even with 4x HP from CIEL, it's very rare to see CIEL team with more than 170k HP without two or three Light Ideal subs.

Overall, this dungeon isn't that difficult for high ranked players. For lower rank players though, I'd suggest bring your strongest team, have a full poison resist and bring a +combo (and an enhance if necessary) for the boss. If you can farm this reliably, you could level up some limit-broken cards in your box since each clear will give you 7 millions Monster EXP (not to be confused with Rank EXP).

Anyway, here's my run. Enjoy!
