STILL WIP

Overview

Hell Gongen is a term for a team consisting of only Physical Attackers and the two demons Hell Biker and Zaou-Gongen (Hence the name).

Concept

  • Hell Biker will go first, casting Red Zone, which gives every member of you team might.
  • Combined with Kongo Zaou from Zaou-Gongen, this will also give every member Phys Pierce.
    • So now we ignore every NDR we encounter.
  • Now our Phys Attackers will clear the wave.
    • Best case after all three attacked, the wave will be dead and the rotation begins again.
  • This works fully on auto battle too, which means we can use this to farm the content we want and need!

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Very Powerful Team!
  • Capable of farming most content on Auto.
  • With slight alterations even Kiwami Bosses can be beaten with this setup.

Cons:

  • Fairly hard entry cost due to Demon Requirements - One Gacha Exclusive (albeit 4*) and one 5+4 (cheapest as 5+5) fusion.
  • Can be fairly hard to Brand for hardest content.
  • Needs certain skills or some Kasane to fully work.

Team

Now lets go in-depth as to how to build this Team.

Demons

To fully utilise this teams potential, an Attacker in this team needs to bring a few things:

  • It needs to use its AoE Attack Skill at least three times. (Once per Wave to clear it)
    • To do this, there are a two main ways:
      • Either transfer Mana Aid.
      • Use a low MP skill, so natural MP regen fills enough MP.
        • A 5MP Skill (such as Herculean Strike can be used 3 times. To use a 6MP Skill (such as Hades Blast) in this setup, the demon needs Divine Brands.
        • Generally 5MP skills are preferred, so we use War Brands.
      • There are other shenanigans you can use to do this, such as transfer Mana Bonus or Mana Surge to fiddle around with MP Management, but this guide will not go into these.
  • It needs to be fairly fast, as to outspeed all encounters.
    • As a result we dont need to concern ourselves with any defense.
  • And of course, it needs to have high STR as to actually output good damage.
  • Best case it also brings a ST Skill for Bosses.

Lets first look at our two core Demons.

Hell Biker

  • He needs to spam Red Zone.
    • For this he NEEDS the Attack AI Tendency. Do not shift him!
  • In order for him to spam Red Zone three times (once every wave), there are two ways:
    • Transfer Mana Aid to him.
    • Max Red Zones level to decrease its use cost by 1MP and give him Divine Brands.
  • Color does not really matter, though Teal or Purple is most used.
    • Other colors give more skills, which (in theory) could mess with AI on Auto.
Skills
  • If you need two rotations on the boss wave, youd want him to attack as to proc his Critical Hit, so you get another Press Turn.
    • As he does not have a good Attack Skill, Deathbound suits him well.
  • For second Skill slot, Phys Boost works well, so he does some more damage.
  • For Kiwami or other hard bosses, consider a debuff such as Offensive Cry or Acid Breath.

Zaou-Gongen

  • Mostly used for his passive effect.
  • Since he does have fairly high STR and we need to use him anyway, we will build him to attack.
  • As his AGI is really low, he needs all the Acc he can get.

Rest of the Team

Now that two of our four slots are filled, we need to think about the other two Demons. Which ones you choose is just what you have (and/or already invested into) and personal preference.

Gacha Exclusives

The best choices are, sadly, Gacha-Exclusive:

Yoshitsune
Asura
Guan Yu
  • Really good STR, fairly low AGI, but Dragon Blade is the best Skill for this team though!
    • Good ST, which then inflicts good AoE Damage! Loyal God of War also regenerates MP on Kill (and gives AC%!), which makes him be able to use it multiple times.
  • Archetype does not matter here.
  • Consider transferring Phys Boost and Good Aim (if you struggle with Acc) or Serial Killer (Butcher if you have it) or Berserker.
Masakado
  • Highest STR in Game, low AGI, good AoE Skill with inherent Vorpal Blade, really good ST Skill Occult Flash.
  • Purple Archetype is best, as it gives Phys Amp.
  • As he does not have a way to regen MP as the other three do, we need Mana Aid on him. Other Transfer should be Phys Boost.

Other good Gacha Choices include:

Siegfried
Matador
  • High STR, really high AGI
  • As no AoE Skill is inherent, Red Archetype is recommended for 5MP Hades Blast.
  • Transfers should be Phys Amp and Phys Boost. You shouldnt have Acc problems with his amount of AGI and decent luck.
Huang Di
Non-Gacha Demons

Now, there are multiple other Demons that fit well in to this team:

Hanuman
Pallas Athena
Wu Kong
Shiva

Alternative to Zaou-Gongen

If you don't have ZG or don't want to use him, you can also use Hell Biker with 3 Phys Pierce Demons. In this case ZGs Unique Ability would be wasted and you can use a better Attacker instead.

The rest of this Guide is still valid, but theres a lot less Demons to choose from in this case.

Our List boils down to:

Brands

Min/Maxing

Alterations for Kiwami
