• A Ward Brand Set is mandatory as this stage is full of status ailment users.
• Try to finish each battle within 3 turns before Auto Barrier wears off.
• Trumpeter will combo Concentrate with Apocalypse, so be wary of how much damage it can do. Apocalypse can also mute your entire party, so bring Phys attackers.
• Recommended Demons: 3★ Ose, 3★ Horus, 4★ Sandalphon, 5★ Surt, 5★ Vishnu, 5★ Yoshitsune

Auto-Battle Party

Explanation

• Almost all of the demons in this node are weak to Light. The goal is to go first, and get your demons to spam Hama to get extra press turns and easily kill the demons. They all need the Ward set because without it, they will get statused when it's the enemy's turn to act. There's a timer of 3 turns per wave that you need to hit, and the timer for the last wave is a lot shorter due to Lucifer being a threat with Morning Star and Megidolaon spam.

Demons:

• Sleipnir is used because of innate Light Boost + Speedster as well as access to Mahamaon.
• Horus is used because of high Agility + Light Boost on awakening.
• Sandalphon is used because of Null Dark that saves us a Resist Dark transfer on Horus, as well as having access to Hamadyne and Hamamaon.
• Mermaid is used because she's the most budget Infinite Chakra user - Tsukuyomi/Prometheus are too slow and do not have two free slots for Light magic.

Example Party

Sweeper 1	Sweeper 2	Sweeper 3	Sweeper 4
Sleipnir	Horus	Mermaid	Sandalphon
Resist Fire	Hama	Hamaon	Light Boost
Hama		Mahama	Hama

• Battle Speed should be 17,000+. MATK should be 1,100+.
• Light Boost can be dropped if you feel that you have enough MATK to kill the waves within 3 turns without dying. Alternatively, take Light Boost if you're lacking in damage.
• Alternatives include: Red Kushinada, Red Feng Huang, Purple Kresnik, Red Lailah
• Purple Mastema is an extremely powerful Light element attacker. It's overkill, but if you do happen to have access to a Mastema of any archetype, use it.
• Brands should be Divine + Ward, prioritize MATK then Speed. You can take Hama instead of Hamaon on Mermaid if you run Spell Brands.
• Judgement Light can work as better replacement of Hama when the Dx2 is Eileen due her skills Fragant Lily, Lucky Press II, Post Script and Happy Ending. Getting Judgement Light and level it tends to be uncommon and difficult.
• Mana Aid is a skill that sometimes appears as a featured Skill Extraction skill. It's not very useful in general, but this is one of the few situations in which it comes in handy - one of the common ways to lose this fight when auto-battling is to run out of MP just before the Lucifer fight and be unable to kill him before dying to Almighty spells.

Ailment Cleanse	5Elements	Light Damage	Light Damage
50px [[]]	Huang Long	Mastema	Metatron
Hamaon L	Endure
Prayer	Samrecarm	Light Boost	Light Boost

Explanation

• As the enemies use Auto Ailment Skills and Auto-Barrier Break, an Ailment cleanse is needed.
  • Either Daisoujou or Kinmamon with Prayer, needs Divine.
• Huang Long is needed to Repel incoming Spells, should you not kill each wave Turn 1. Recommended Speedster to hit speed needed to go first.
  • If you have a lot of damage, you can substitute HL with another Light Attacker to kill everything Turn 1.
• The last two slots are Light Attackers. Mastema and Red Metatron are the most used, though other such as Lailah or Uriel can work.
  • Mastema can use Spell Brands if maxed Trial of Hate
  • Metatron can use Spell Brands due to Infinite Chakra

Example Party
