Auto-Battle Team

Explanation

The party goes like this:

Speedster + Debuffer DPS Phys Null/Repel/Drain or High Phys Evasion Healer
Any Demon Any Demon Any Demon Any Demon

or

DPS DPS DPS Healer
Any Demon Any Demon Any Demon Any Demon
  • Speedster + Debuffer: Must have Speedster, Makarakarn, and Tarunda. Makarakarn is required to prevent Titania from wiping your party with magic, and helps reduce the number of turns Metatron gets by repelling Purgatory/Holy Wrath.
  • DPS: Must have an AoE, preferably Physical or Dark. Dark magic as Metatron is resistant to everything but Dark, and the Horus in the first two waves is weak to Dark. Physical DPS will get extra turns for the party whenever it crits, which is why AoE w/ acc is recommended to raise the chances of getting a single crit.
  • Phys Null/Evasion: Treat as a DPS. If Phys Null/Repel/Drain, it will stop the Hanuman/Orochi from using their AoE phys which hurts. If Phys Evasion, it'll lose them turns.
  • Healer: Must have Mediarama, other slot is for Diarama + Resists. Diarama is used as if you run any Phys Null/Repel/Drain, the enemies will regular attack a target, and the auto AI will heal that targeted ally up.

As for brands:

  • Speedster - Divine + Ward/Speed (Speed, HP, Phys Evasion)
  • Magic DPS - Divine + Ward (MATK, HP, Speed, Phys Evasion)
  • Phys DPS - War + Ward (PATK, ACC)
  • Healer - Divine + Ward (Recovery, HP, MATK, Speed, Phys Evasion)

Demons:

  • Fenrir: Speedster for getting your party's battle speed up to the required amount. Makarakarn is required to prevent Titania from wiping your party with magic, and helps reduce the number of turns Metatron gets by repelling Purgatory/Holy Wrath.
  • Pazuzu: Nulls Force/Dark/Light and heals. The force null loses turns for Hanuman when it uses Mazanma, and Light/Dark Null works wonders against Metatron after it blasts through the first Makarakarn.
  • Feng Huang: A speedier option than Pazuzu as a healer without any relevant Nulls and low HP. However, it can have way higher evasion + crit resistance which helps if you have trouble with the first two waves.
  • Pallas Athena: A good Physical DPS that comes with Mana Aid. Basically, a "budget" Yoshitsune.
  • Ose: Phys Null and Hades Blast.
  • Rangda: Phys Repel and Mudodyne

  • Battle Speed needs to be 18,700+. If you cannot hit the battle speed, use a Purple Beelzebub for initial Makara Shift. Transfer Diarama for Beelzebub, and Mamudo + Diarama for Prometheus.
  • Templar Dragon helps a lot until you can get to a stable point with farming.
  • If you have excess skill points and free slots, transfer Samrecarm.

Strategy (Manual Play)

  • 1st wave - Kill order is Hanuman > Orochi > Horus. Hanuman will start off the fight always with Vorpal Blade (unless you have two nulls/repels/drains), and will start using it if the only one alive. Horus will just spam Diarama for 450, it's not a lot.
  • 2nd wave - If you have Makarakarn or an Elec Null/Drain/Repel, Titania will use Makajamaon. You can exploit that if playing manual - kill order should be Titania > Orochi > Horus.
  • 3rd wave - Metatron is really easy compared to the waves before, just outlast it.

Kartikeya casts Offensive Cry each wave. Skanda provides critical %, and is a suitable replacement for Hell Biker's Red Zone if your demons have enough critical % of their own. Siegfried is not necessary, and any physical attacker will work just fine in his slot.

It's likely that Metatron will be killed T1 if crits land consistently. If he's not killed T1, Asura can tank 2-3 casts of Fire of Sinai before dying, at which point a single Hassou Tobi! from Yoshitsune should be more than enough to finish him off.

Use Eileen for 1 extra attack from Hassou Tobi! and Ashura, or Kangaroo Boxer for his cumulative damage buff.

Clear time ranges from 40-50 seconds.

Abaddon A's unique skill cancels Metatron's Auto-Luster Candy and then inflicts Debilitate, making the boss fight much easier. Muscle Punch seems to be the best way to get a decent damage output from a demon with otherwise generally weak stats. The rest is a standard Hell Gongen team; panels on Yoshitsune and Zaou-Gongen are nice but should not be necessary.

  • The idea behind this team is to be able to outheal Metatron's damage, even if he uses Fire of Sinai four times, so that you can reliably clear even without a support demon.
  • Archetypes don't matter, although red and yellow are both useful on Lakshmi A, with red's Deathtouch triggering Diwali, and yellow's Defensive Cry giving buff control to make Asura even tankier.
  • Jeanne d'Arc should have Diarama or some other healing spell, so that she can still heal after using Orleans Prayer 3 turns in a row.
  • Lakshmi A needs Resist Force to avoid dying to Long's Mazandyne.
  • This team clears extremely slowly (up to 10 minutes per clear, with no support demon), which is actually somewhat beneficial: if you use all of your Aura Gate/duel stamina, you can leave it on auto and use more regular stamina than you started with.

  • Abaddon A removes LC, and debilitates Metatron.
    • He will LC our team on our turn to make sure we can tank Fire of Sinai more than 1-2 turns.
    • Instead of Muscle Punch and Guard brands you can also run a damage boost/phys AOE, and run Divine brands

  • The idea behind this team is to have both damage and survivability.
  • Minimum Battle Speed is 18000 to outspeed Metatron. Getting outsped the 2nd wave is fine.
  • Barong provides Luster Candy with Barong Dance, healing and Speedster.
    • Teal gives you more chances to null Metatron's Purgatory and decrease his Press Turns.
  • Zaou-Gongen for the infinite crit spam with Panel 3.
  • Yoshitsune is the main damage dealer.
  • Orcus serves two purposes. Not only does he decrease the AOE damage from Metatron because of Hell's Gate but he also debuffs with War Cry.
    • Buff control is very important since without it you will die.
    • Ideally you want orcus to War Cry the first turn against the boss to reduce his attack.
    • Samrecarm is for insurance. You might need it.
    • Some notes on the AI:
      • If Barong doesn't have enough MP for Barong Dance and Orcus is yellow, he'll use Nocturne instead of war cry. It's not the best but hopefully you can survive anyway.
