November 2019 Quest Challenge Level 9

November 2019 Quest Challenge Level 9 features a massive combo check. We have to pass the 14 combo shield found in the dungeon, so we have to make 15 combo at minimum. To make matters worse, the dungeon doesn't allow Leader Skill to be activated. Yes you read that right. No Leader Skill. That means you won't get +combo from Leader Skill such as Beach Veroah or Zela Kitty. Topped with a No Duplicate monster allowed.

So, how do we make 15 combo skill with such a heavy restrictions? Do we have to rely on those skyfall gods to have mercy on us and drop six maybe 7 skyfall match? Not necessarily. Thanks to the awakening skill called Combo Orb.

Combo Orb will add +combo for one match containing a combo orb. The recent update allows up to four combo orbs to appears on the board. In order to get combo orb to be dropped, you gotta have a team member with combo orb awakening. The number of combo orb that can be dropped depends on how many a total of combo orb awakenings are on your team.

If your team has four member with one combo orb awakening, you can have four combo orb to drop. If you only have three, then three is the maximum combo orb to drop for a single match that match either main or sub attribute for the card with said combo orb awakening. To get combo orb to drop, you have to make a match with 10-12 connecting orbs. Remember that that match should match either main or sub attribute in order for combo orb to drop.

How to get 15 combo utilizing those combo orb? With four combo orbs, the most you can get is 14 combo without skyfall match and with 10 combo board. That's not enough. So you need to have a +combo skill.

Here I'm gonna show you how to make 15 combo with 10 combo board setup, three combo orbs and +2 combo skill.

First you need to have three member with combo orb awakening and they gotta have at least one same attribute. It can be a main or sub attribute.

Here's my setup:

• Air Slasher, Guile. He has combo orb and 3 skill boost
• Whaledor with +2 combo skill assist
• Zeus Mercury to create a full water orb. Machine Goemon and Machine Noah (base or awoken form) cam also be used. The Awoken form would be better because of more skill boost.
• Tengu with Servant, Assassin assist
• Awoken Nephthys. She has two skill boost, combo orb awakening and her skill creates one dark row on the bottom
• Yama Tsukami with combo orb super awakening. His biggest advantage is that his skill tied to a no-skyfall buff which would prevents accidental match of those combo orbs

If you're using different setup, make sure that all skills will be ready in four turns because you have five turns to bypass the combo shield.

Skill usage in order:

1. Yama Tsukami, make a wood match with 10-12 orbs to get three combo orbs
2. +2 combo skill
3. Zeus Mercury for full water board
4. Servant, Assassin creates two wood rows on the 2nd and 4th row
5. Awoken Nephthys creates one dark row on the bottom

This creates a 10 combo board. All you gotta do is move three dark orbs on the bottom to the top and you will get 10 combo. Coupled with +2 combo skill, you'd get 12 combo and with three combo orbs, you'd get 15 combo without relying on skyfall.

Once you made 15 combo, Chester (the enemy) will self destruct. Easy, right?

Hang on...
There's one other way to beat this dungeon faster.

How?

You need a damage void piercing skill and true damage with more than 5000 damage. Chester voids damage of 999 or more for 999 turns and he has massive defense (100 millions defense), so to defeat him without making 15 combo is using VDP skill (Akine, Shelling Ford, Hao) then use true damage to nuke him.

The challenge is that all VDP skill has very long CD, so you need to bring a lot of skill boost but with the No Dupes restriction it's very hard to get 26 skill boost.

The answer is using many assist with +2 haste to charged the VDP skill. Here's list of most cards with four or more skill boost:

• Reincarnated Archdemon Lucifer with skill boost super awakening, 4 skill boost
• Tengu (dungeon drop), 4 skill boost
• New Year Tengu, 4 skill boost
• Whaledor, 5 skill boost
• Valeria, 6 skill boost
• Orpharion with skill boost super awakening, 4 skill boost
• Despharion with skill boost super awakening, 4 skill boost

Those are cards with 4 or more skill boost and have low base skill cooldown so they can carry skills such as Mori Motonari or Cthugha with +2 haste. Once the VDP skill is ready, use it and nuke Chester with true damage. Any true damage works as long as it has more than 5000 damage.

Those are the options for Solo Play. For Multiplayer play, it should be easier (as always) since you can bring more skill boosts.





Good luck and have fun. See you next time!
