  • 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.

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.jpg Tsukuyomi/Prometheus.jpg 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.jpg Sleipnir ArchPurple.png Horus.jpg Horus ArchPurple.png Mermaid.jpg Mermaid ArchRed.png Sandalphon.jpg 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 Red Kushinada.jpg Kushinada, Red Red Feng Huang.jpg Feng Huang, Purple Purple Kresnik.jpg Kresnik, Red Red Lailah.jpg Lailah
  • Purple Purple Mastema.jpg 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 to her skills Fragant Lily, Lucky Press II, Post Script and Happy Ending. However, getting Judgement Light and leveling 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.

Explanation

  • As the enemies use Auto Ailment Skills and Auto-Barrier Break, an Ailment cleanse is needed.
    • Daisoujou is the best ailment cleanser, but Kinmamon.jpg Kinmamon with Prayer and Divine brands can work too. Silent Prayer can work for manual play, but the AI can use up its MP and not be able to cast it when needed.
  • 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 Light Attacker to kill everything Turn 1.
  • The last two slots are Light Attackers. Mastema and Red Metatron are the most used, though others such as Lailah.jpg Lailah or Uriel.jpg Uriel can work.

Party Explanation

Fight Explanation

Daisoujou attacks first (lead brand) using Hama giving you an extra turn, this is essential for a constant use of Five Elements because Huang Long going to have 2 turn, Mastema and Metatron kill everyting on turn 1 in the first wave. In the second wave Beiji-Weng survives but he is not a real problem. Metatron need Divine brand to spamming Mahamadyne 2 waves and sometimes in the last wave. This alignment have a really hight percent of success.

  • Extra tips
    • No select a support demon
    • Use Kangaroo.png Kangaroo Boxer or Chalk.png Chalk Eater as Dx2 for extra damage
    • On Auto Quest Settings check *Auto select Cheer in Battle Assists
    • On Auto Quest Settings uncheck *Auto Select an available Support Demon

  • Mahamayuri makes this stage extremely easy because, not only does Blossoming Cyclone heal most of the damage done by Lucifer, but Kujaku Myo-o automatically cleanses your team at the start of your turn for free, regardless of team order. This allows you to let Huang Long to go first and cast Five Elements without having to worry about losing 2 press turns due to status ailments.
  • Basic turn order is as follows: Five Elements -> Herculean Strike -> Hassou Tobi -> Blossoming Cyclone. Kongo Zaou will allow everyone's basic attack to pierce, and Zaou-Gongen's P3 will allow you to crit-pass back to Huang Long so that he has enough MP to cast Five Elements the next turn. Lather, rinse, repeat.
  • Yoshitsune's gonna be your main DPS here, so give him the best brands and transfers possible. If you don't have Death Blow, you could also give him Phys Boost, Epitome of Carnage, or Phys Survivor, since all of those increase his phys damage by 15%.
  • Since Hassou Tobi pierces innately, you could probably get away with swapping out Zaou-Gongen for Hell Biker.jpg Hell Biker if you don't have a fully paneled Zaou-Gongen at your disposal. However, Zaou-Gongen has the bonus of repelling fire, and Lucifer does not have fire pierce for his Trisagion. Just make sure you have a way of taking down Rangda since she repels physical attacks.
  • If you have him unlocked and at level 50, I would STRONGLY recommend playing as CarbonBlack.png Vince for this stage. Not only does he boost the strength of physical demons and their critical hits, but he also has a chance of casting tarukaja and sukukaja at the start of your turn. Additionally, he has a chance to cast rakunda when your demons enter a state of Icon Critical.png Might (which is every turn thanks to Zaou's P3), as well as a chance to cast sukukaja and sukunda upon landing a critical hit.

Explanation

  • In addition to enemies being considerably beefier than the ones in Sloth 12, all demons (except Succubus and Kudlak in the boss wave) have Phys Reduction+, which will reduce all Phys Phys (not to be confused with Physical) damage by 80%, making most unga bunga phys attackers largely useless.
  • Wave 1 and 2 have Gurr, a demon weak to Phys Phys. He exists to bait Lakshmi A.jpg Lakshmi A into regular attacks instead of using Virtuous Prosperity. Be careful when using her, as she may end up not reaching boost level 1 in time for the Boss wave.

The only non-fusable Demons in this Party are Seraph (but he's technically free from Democalypse) and Mahamayuri, but he could be replaced (e.g., Daisoujou.jpg Daisoujou with Lead Brands to cast Cleansing Shout before any Icon Charm.png Charmed or Icon Bind.png Bound team member would have a chance to waste Press Turns), so it's reasonably cheap to build.

Huang Long is the only mandatory Demon in this Party build, as Five Elements is one of few skills that can set up Icon Repel Almighty Magic.png Repel Almighty Magic.

Except for Passives to cover Weaknesses, no Skills are mandatory, but some may make things easier:

  • Evade (or even Dodge) may be transferred to raise the chances of the enemies missing physical attacks. Although that's not necessary, as Erlkonig is more than enough to heal the whole party throughout the battle, it speeds up farming.
  • Speedster may be necessary to reach the required Battle Speed. Only the last wave's Battle Speed must be reached, so Huang Long's Five Elements is up against Lucifer.
