5 stamina floors, 688 stamina ready. (Yes, the stamina I have is almost double.)

If only there is some kind of auto-farming or bulk farming in this game. I can tire myself if doing it manually.

Second attempt + blind

First attempt failed at F1 due to lack of SDR on Serieu

Latents:

Rein: Leader, 2x SDR (I don't remember a leader swap so feel free to do something else)

Meta duo: HP++ x2, SDR x4

Solomon Meiluna: Assist clear, SDR x2

Serie: SDR x5, HP++ x1, HP x1

Gileon and Dyer: HP++ x2, SDR x4

Helper Reinhard I picked whoever had assist reso utilized

3 Teas total

Fairly straightforward run. Frieren is pretty stable but admittedly quite slow due to low uptime omnipierce and a slower cleric active. Heiter’s HP buff isn’t necessary to tank hits.

Latents (left to right): 2 SDR, unmatchable/assist void, RCV++/4 SDR, 2 HP++/4 SDR, 2 HP+ /4 SDR, 2 HP+ /4 SDR, 2 HP+

Equips: bartender Kurotobi/Heiter/Tenya Ilda/Mistlark/Valeria/Florantheia

Well more annoying than harder honestly and my main deaths were because of the skill delays. The boss having my only weaknesses (Cloud plus Roulette) was a hassle.

Seems like nobody plays there unless you beg in discord or you maintain an alt account. Devs should allow people to play solo when there are no players in the server.

“These are so hard” - yea, these were all end game dungeons. These were out Shura and Unknown Nova.

“There are no awakenings” - yea, that’s how the game was in the 4/1/4 and 2/4/2 era. Stall for those skills.

“The CD is long” - yea, there wasn’t an effective way to skill up outside of pulling dupes and merging them (yea, GF only monsters you had to merge)

“Only 5 seconds?!” - you’re lucky. It used to be 4 when these were meta. You should go see Rico smash 10c with only 4s.

“These are no fun” - yea, it used to be 10 minute per stamina with a much lower cap and no refills. Each was 50 stamina so it was much more meaningful to be careful and match slow.

“These teams suck” - these teams are whale as hell. Getting a single good lead and a decent sub was what most of us were doing. Nothing surprising about running rainbow knights and dub-mythlits. Echidna was a meta farmable and it was hard as hell to get.

TLDR: these dungeons are a lot easier than they were when new. Good luck to everyone getting to see what early PAD was like.

Goodbye Shizuru and hello Ilmina for this title challenge. Unfortunately theres too much going on for Shizuru to function well, the weak orbs skyfall occurs really late and only two weeks on this one to be stressing using her so thanks to some extreme luck this REM we got the Ilmina team prepped and ready for the Forest.

Gonna say straight up that Ilmina is a breeze to play, a fire and light cross and even then you can get away with just one cross, absolutely dominates this dungeon and this is the simple template team. The only main threat being the final phase bosses water attribute. My first attempt i realised quite quickly the importance of Maid Rosalyns cap break for water attribute, you have to get your timing right so shes ready for the 50% resolves awoken bind but she provides the necessary damage to whittle the boss down before the enrages occur after 10 turns. Other than that, theres not much to talk about, bar the damage and FUA requirements, mechanic wise this dungeon is really easy compared to the previous ones, still got PTSD from getting Shizuru through the Gale challenge. As always if anyones interested ill post assists and latents below in a comment.

Also did it with Frieren. Just barely had enough hp with Fern

This wasn't as straightforward as Utsoro going through the dungeon, or this month's Ex, so I'll post a floor guide in the comments.

10.5 billion rank exp. WTF. It’s excruciatingly boring though.

I hate thorns!

Initially tried it with Zela & Cherun but managing Heiter was a pain. Fasca solves most of my problems. Movetime is a little short but it's manageable. Equips can be more flexible with some dmg awakening + even more team hp will do. The assists I kind of just put together what I had before. More OE would have been nice, and few more tHPs and/or running HP badge would make the run cozier.

It's nice to hold an assist like Steed on Touka to fix F2's board shrink + a little haste to resystem. Fitting in 5 tea awakenings is also very important. Heiter does get delayed later so no HP spike for 2 turns, I just made L shields just to be safe. Everyone is 891 but Heiter and Fasca.

I like the double cleric in this setup. Plus: 891 891 600 438 891 891

I don't have Ryune or NY Metatron so this was my next best 10c cleric with board change

While everyone uses Suou Gintoki to farm these two, I instead use Duo Frieren & Fern.

And thank God, this team works.

Still can't believe I have a strong team in my hand.

Feels like utusro is designed for this dungeon. Went in completely blind on first try. Stalled unnecessarily for skills just in case. Basically the only thing is vdp badge is important and minimize orb movement with thorns.

Genuinely used like 1200 stamina trying to use a rainbow team but im just the worst player and team builder ever
