Stage Guide

Party Formation

Taunt	No need
Remove guard stance	No need
Recommended CD	CD5 or lower. (CD6 skills won’t align with the shield mechanic.)

Avoid using Ultimates that Grant Shields:

Characters with ultimates that grant shields (e.g., SR Morvay) are prohibited. Using such abilities during the shield mechanic at 6n+6T can result in fatal damage as the shield gets reinforced instead of reduced.

Position Recommendation for Slot 3:

Place the character with the lowest ATK in the third position.

Avoid using a Light attribute character in Slot 3

Avoid using a Light attribute character in Slot 3 as their attribute bonus increases damage to Dante. Non-Light attribute characters are preferred.

Recommended HP for Survivability:

Minimum HP: 5,800Recommended HP: 6,000 or more. HP of 7,000 ensures better survivability.

Include Healers with Continuous Healing:

If HP levels are a concern, include a healer with continuous healing in their ultimate (e.g., SR Yakumo). This is particularly helpful for handling the damage from the 6n+6T mechanic.

Battle Tips

AUTO Battle	Not Recommended
Skills	Save them for 6n+6T phases.

If Dante is defeated, it results in immediate failure.

However, you can still clear the stage even if both Dante and Duke’s HP simultaneously drop to 1%.

Attack Strategy:

Outside of mechanics, prioritize attacking Duke.

Attacking Duke triggers counterattack damage to the entire party, so ensure adequate HP levels before engaging.

Avoid attacking Dante whenever possible.Save ultimate skills for specific turns (6n+6T).

Battle Guide

Battle Flow

STEP1
Non-Mechanic Turns：Attack Duke → Heal
- Attacking Duke causes counterattack damage; heal after attacking to maintain party HP.
- Minimize attacks on Dante unless unavoidable.
- Save Ultimate Skills: Avoid using them until the 6n+6T phases.
- If counterattack damage is too severe:
- Use low-damage attacks (e.g., support characters) on Dante.
- Use main damage dealer attacks on Duke.
STEP2
6n+2T：Attack Order: Slot 1 → Slot 2 → Slot 4 → Slot 5 → Slot 3
［2T、8T、14T、20T、26T、32T、38T、44T…］
- Slots 1, 2, 4, and 5 should attack in order of lowest to highest ATK to minimize damage dealt to Dante.
- Using defense here will result in death. (This mechanic deals damage equal to 500% of each party member’s ATK to the entire party.)
- Each attack reduces Dante’s damage received by 15% for one turn. If four attacks are made, the total damage reduction is 60%.
- Slot 3 should attack last as their attack comes with a 2000% ATK multiplier against Dante.
STEP3
6n+5T：Attack Order: Same as above (Slots 1 → 2 → 4 → 5 → 3).

［5T、11T、17T、23T、29T、35T、41T、47T…］
STEP4
6n+6T：Use ultimates on Duke and (if shields remain) Dante.
［6T、12T、18T、24T、30T、36T、42T、48T…］
- Use healer ultimates on Duke (even if they don’t deal damage). This attaches shields to Duke, which Dante will help reduce.
- If your party still has shields remaining, use ultimates on Dante to reduce the shields. Failing to reduce shields may lead to death.
- Shields cannot be manipulated using basic attacks (neither enemy shields nor party shields).
STEP5
Optional Ultimate Usage (Turns where using an ultimate skill still aligns with 6n+6T timing)：
- CD3：9T、15T、21T、27T、33T、39T、45T…
- CD4：Save Ultimates for 6n+6T turns.
