July 2019 Quest, Challenge Level 8, 9 & 10

Challenge Level 8 - Fixed Team

For this month's Challenge Level 8, we have this fixed team:

Leader is Reincarnated Sakuya. Her Leader Skill is:
"5x ATK when Fire, Water, Wood & Light attack at once; ATK increases with 5+ combos, up to 4x" Her combo scaling goes from 1.5x ATK at 5 combos, 0.5x ATK for each additional combo, up to 4x ATK at 10 combos.

Subs are:

1. Gluttonous Mystic, Zhu Bajie. Her skills is Orb Refresh which will suffle all orbs. This will clears any locked and blind or super blind orbs.
2. Master Librarian Goddess, Kali. Her skill is the same as Dark Kali, which is change all orbs into all colors and heal.
3. Pacifying Yomi Goddess, Izanami. Her skill is 15% damage reduction for 3 turns. She also has three auto heal awakenings which is very useful to get HP back up to certain threshold.
4. Abyssal Hands War Goddess, Nemain. Her skill is voids enemies' defense for 2 turns and 2 turns haste.

First Battle is Rozuel. You can and need to stall some turns here to get Nemain up by the third floor. She doesn't hit that hard and will provides heal every turn when she's above 70% HP. When Nemain is up, kill. If you don't have necessary attributes to defear her, use Green Kali.

Second Battle is Apolluo. He actually very nice although he has decent defense but he will changes all orbs to all attributes, heal and jammer every turn so you will have necessary attributes to defeat him. He also has 6 combo shield and you will need to hit 8 or more combo to kill him. I believe you can defeat him with 7 combo as long as you do Light TPA to boosts Sakuya's attack.

Third Battle is PreDra. They have massive defense even though they lower their defense by half so instead of 10 millions of their regular defense, it's 5 millions. Still a lot. Use Nemain to reduce their defense to zero and mass attack with any attribute to sweep the floor. It's that easy. Heal if your team has less than 15,150 HP.

Fourth Battle is Cyberdragon Valhalla. He has 10 millions HP and will locked all orbs while super blind half of them and hit you for 15k+ damage as preemptives. If Sakuya can't resist the blind, it will be very annoying to check those orbs one by one. This is where Zhu Bajie comes in handy. Use her skill to refresh the board and voila you don't have to deal with locked and super blind orbs.

Fifth Battle is the Boss, Rushana. She voids damage of 15 millions or more and has 81% resolve. We don't have card with VDP nor FUA awakenings, so how do we defeat her? Easy. Sakuya's gravity will erases her resolve. You can use the second Sakuya's gravity to further reduces her HP. Then you only have to match all needed attributes to activate Sakuya and do 6 or more combo to finish her off. No need for FUA nor VDP.

Challenge Level 9

This challenge only has three floor and at this moment, has enemies with the most HP ever. This is a damage test, so bring your hardest hitting team. Color cross leaders are at advantage since they can hit the damage cap and will sweep every floor easily. Amen is actually isn't good here even though he has 10,000x ATK multiplier on full activation. I'll show you why later on.

I decided to use Yog-Sothoth as leaders.

This is my team:

My team is loaded with God, Dragon and Devil Killer subs.

1. Superman has one Devil Killer, has an option for second Devil Killer and can carry Devil Killer latents.
2. Valkyrie CIEL has one God Killer, one Dragon Killer, God Killer Super Awakenings and carry three Dragon Killer latents. She also has Hakuryu Card assist to kill Fafnir on second floor. Fafnir is Dragon/Balanced type.
3. Pralinae has two God and Devil Killer, Devil Killer Super Awakenings and carry three Dragon Killer latents.
4. Reincarnated Thor is my enhance. She gives 2.5x ATK for Light and Water attributes for 3 turns.

First Battle is Belial. He's a Devil type and has 978 millions HP. He won't attack for three turns but when he attacks, he will kill any team not using damage void skill.

Second Battle is Fafnir, a Dragon & Balanced type and has 982 millions HP. Pretty overwhelming but CIEL make a quick work of defeating him due to her massive attack.

The boss is Dagda, a God type. He has HP the same as damage cap at 2,147,483,647 HP. He also won't kill you right away. He also has 7 combo shield so you need to hit 8 combo to damage him. This is why Amen isn't good for this dungeon. Amen's full activation capped when he hit exactly 7 combo. When he does 8 combo, he only does 100x ATK which isn't good for this dungeon. Any color cross leaders also need to bring +combo shield or use bigger board (7x6 board) if they want to bypass his combo shield. Most likely, two color cross isn't enough except for Mega Awoken Paimon, perhaprs? His first turn, he will starts his 3-turns countdown so technically you have four turns to kill him. Don't let him attack if you don't have damage void skill because he will does over 2 millions hit when he attacks.

Challenge Level 10 - 7x6 board


For this challenge I'm using Super Reincarnated Bastet as leader. She is very strong and her sub pool is very good. As long as it's Wood attribute, she can take it in her team.

This is my finalized team:

I started with Ishida Mitsunari and Green Ney as my VDP subs but my team's healing capability wasn't good without having Eir on board. Finally I settled with Sonia Fio as VDP sub but you'll see that I didn't really using Fio to her fullest capability.

This dungeon is cancerous. Skill delay on a first battle then it gets worse as you progress through the dungeon. You can stall on the first and second floor if your team have big HP and can tank the hits and heal back. It may necessary to get needed skills up.

When you clear the first two floor, you'll be facing Hel. She casts 10 turns spinner as preemptive. You need to defeat her immediately or else she will casts 99 turns poison skyfall. I found out later that her poison skyfall is very bad. It's 20% poison skyfall and with bigger board it gets worse.

You will face two enemies with damage void. The first one is Halloween Drawn Joker after you defeat Hel. You actually don't need VDP since you can chip his HP down. I managed to defeat him by not using any skill to lower my attack so it doesn't gets voided.

After that, there's Awoken Kushinadahime. Even though she's on a 2-turn attack CD, she will reduces your orb move time by a lot. Thankfully I have Tardis so she doesn't pose much of a threat.

Then comes the boss, Panera. Remember her own dungeon? She is very annoying with HP changing and her other mechanics, especially she has 99% damage reduction for 5 turns. It's like they don't us to defeat her right away and have to play along with her bullshit mechanics. When her 99% damage reduction goes away, she will casts 50% damage reduction for 15 turns. She will also test your combo ability. If you can do 10 or more combo, she will fully heals you but if you can't she will hit you with 99% gravity.

I actually have necessary skills to defeat her with my Bastet carrying Green Sonia assist. Coupled with Eir I wanted to defeat her by making VDP and FUA but alas, I flubbed that and my Sonia Fio assist came up so I can't use her skill. After some struggling I finally managed to defeat her. She is very close to annihilates me though.

Overall, I think this challenge is the hardest of the set. While the challenge level 9 just a damage check, this wasn't the case with level 10. High survivability team will be good for this dungeon.
