Holy Night Festival - Master

Well darn. There goes another amazing dungeon, considering I can't beat anything past Master Rank (Except a couple). I really want Santa Hera :(((

Watch out for Wood Sage Treant; I came expecting a modest difficulty, considering Expert is so simple and there are two difficulties above it, but got completely destroyed by a Treant. Unless you can deal with its 54k defense, the chance of encountering it makes running Master difficulty a risky proposition. (It's a shame it showed up, considering I had just gotten a Present Egg as a drop, too.)

Hoping some people post some team suggestions when you get a chance. Thanks to a recent god fest, I have more on my team, but most are not yet fully battle ready. Good to see people are getting the drop though on master at the usual 40%.

To anyone who wasn't foolish enough to throw away their top droiddragon, max awaken that sucker, you'll thank me later!

Got a Hera Drop from the Master difficulty one the second try.
Godin and a Healer as your leaders, at least 5k health every turn, and get rid of Hera's 6 poison orbs right when they pop up and you can't lose.
Good Luck Hunting and Merry Christmas :3

*excited* Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! I'm gonna run this dungeon, and this dungeon alone, until it ends!!! ALL THE PRESENT DRAGONS! And Santa Hera, too! :D :D :D

I'm not certain that the information on the dungeon is correct. I got Hera down to below 99% HP on Master for a few turns and she never dropped a gravity on me, just Zeus Figure Bomb over and over again.

Just got her on my first run of masters :)

Multiple treants can appear. I highly recommend preparing for that or it will be instantly game over. I used a quad dark leader skill team.

Grape dragon / persephone / ult (devil) lilith / sleeping beauty / underlord arch hades / rebel seraph lucifer friend.

This build yielded me enough to tank a hit from treant.

The key to making sure you don't lose in this type of build, is to make sure to stall enough on the first floor to enable your lucifer to be ready to go.

If you get two treants, quickly MS one of them, heal and take out the other monsters on the screen. For me, I began liliths poison then just stalled until the poison killed treant with healing to full every three - four turns.

One treant I saw started at "3" not at "4" so just a warning for anyone.

I did see treant 4 times in my last run of master. luckily I was prepared via stalling (super grindy).

Another important thing to remember is that you don't want to MS to finish a round unless you absolutely have to because the pixie's preemptive can kill you if it appears.

I have ran each level once and the only drop I got was on "blessed" so far. (the only change to my team for "Blessed" was a rainbow keeper instead of sleeping beauty so that I had enough HP to tank a hit from treant). If you are patient and heal when necessary, the battle is merely grindy... MS does 600k to hera once she is below 50% so remember that as well.

If you happen to have more gravities, that would certainly make this easier... I'd swap out persephone for another dark gravity maker in a heartbeat if I had one.

Good luck all!

2nd floor and I face 2 strong treants :'(. all hope to do master is gone. Anyone have any tips for me?

As Tappy said, Healer + Great Odin works just fine for this level. Here is the description of the build I submitted just now. I really wish the thing like went to a "we got your suggestion" confirmation page. So annoying.

Anywho, here you go:

Levels: Archangel-80(+62 RCV); Divine-Hera-69; Awoken-Hera-93; Pitch Black Lilith-80(Max skill); Vicious Dragon -Lv. 96(+57 atk)(any DRK/WTR nuker works); Friend Great Odin-99(+131 eggs). Safe build. Starting at FL 2, I poisoned to start, then grinded til got poison ready again. Save Odin/Nuke for when all enemies syned. When at Hera, both Gravs immediately, then grind to hopefully to a drop.

I got her down with a simple team of brute-force fire attack. I never lost the health threshold, but I came across some problems, specially dealing with orb changers in the worst time, and some tricky dublits appearences.

Lead: Iwato's Dancing Godess, Amenouzume (lvl 81, fully awoken)
* Martial God Emperor, Yamato Takeru
* Krishna
* Bonfire Fox, Mitsuki
* Gigas
Friend Lead : Iwato's Dancing Godess, Amenouzume (lvl 56, fully awoken)

I saved the spike to down Hera to around 25%, then, its just waiting to the drops to fall. This team also address the Treant problem, that go down without to much problems.

Wish the snow globe guys would drop!!!!!!!!

Can someone help me build a team for this dungeon :( I have fully awoken Grodin friends

heres my monster box:

I can get Hera to about half life but her poison orbs just destroy me :( cause I can't heal back up to max

It is all based on luck, I ran this dungeon first time with an odin team and got pwned by treants, ran it a second time with ronia team, no treants and got her to drop. :D :D

Going to have to stone this. Or maybe throw in that wizard who throws jammer and poison into heal. Finally a shiner. But, I am not able to floor Hera yet without a fight.

I went 4/4 on master for hera drops (one w/ +). averaged 2 evo'd pengdra per too.

master really isn't too bad. the snow globe drops tons of healing orbs, so as long as you can take the hit and have okay rcv, you can stall there forever. as long as you get hera down to 50% in 2 turns, you avoid the gravity, so just use your skills there. I've run it w/ a 7.5x green attacker team without any issues, stones, or even close calls.

Randomly oneshotted Hera but no drop :( Oh yeah, those treants are horrible

of course out of the 15 runs i did on super blessed difficulty this would be the difficulty to drop the present egg, BOOYAH.

I feel like I should be able to beat this on master but I always get done in one way or another by Treant, anyone have any helpful tips?

Here's my zero stone uber-grind build. All skills lvl 1 except hobgob which was maxed. I'm not gonna lie, it's a LONG grind with this team, but I hope it helps others trying to get past the power wall.

EotS, Siren L:47 (used for orb heals)
GotA, Ame no Uzume L36 & 3* (used for auto heal)
Droidragon L35 & 1* (prevent/refresh poison)
HI Hobgoblin L33 (board refresh)
UL Doomsday L32 (treant and boss grind and refresh board)
FRIEND: SLW Odin L79 & 8* (need for protect against dmg and only thing preventing the battle from lasting a week against treants, snow globes, and Hera)

Finally got Hera to drop after beating master 8 times... Luckily, I got lots of exp for both me and my monsters.

I had archangel leader to heal, a firend's grodin, a king devitama with 10% gravity! and 2 dark monsters.

Oh i LOVE Sonia.

First try in Master and got Hera!!!!!

well thanks to her and the 1.5x drop rate!!!

I'm soooo happy, it's my first Master and my first Descend (if it can be callled that).

Can anybody help me with a team. I don't really have much but I need to at least beat masters.

I just did Master after failing twice with an utterly rubbish team

I suck at this game so i tend to like to run auto healer comps. However the issue is with Hera who hits for 6.3k or so after gravity to 1%.

I went with a devil healer team together with a Halloween Alraune friend. Since the auto heals heals for about 3k or so, I just need to heal another 3k or so to survive that turn and I should be fine.

Team is
Cloud of Darkness
Neo Exdeath
Echinida
Ruka
Christmas Hera

Basically I dont have good devil leads so I have no choice but to run those. And I always liked my Echnida and my Ruka is there for RCV and clutch heals. I got christmas Hera on int difficulty and used it since she packed a fair bit of RCV compared to my other devils.

I think so long you are able to somehow heal 6.3k every turn if needed then you should be fine. Higher damage just means it wont take an eternity to finish.

pls help me win this, keep on losing on second to last floor

Anyone looking for a decent team, Any Healer Lead with high healing ( I used Sea God's Songstress, siren)
Max skill and max awoken though I never did need the skill

Fat Chocobo lvl 75 Max awoken -- Very usuful for the double poison resist as this will be your enemy (also has board change for the poison orbs it doesnt resist and you cant match.)
Ame no Uzume Max awoken lvl 51 -- used again for the healing awakening
Lucifer - Morning star is useful as I dont have a gravity but can be replaced if you do and also healing passive
Last but not least Naga lvl 25 used mainly for the delay is needed - may also replace with another gravity to make a bit quicker.

Important: Friend leader must be Shining lance wielder odin- Max awoken -

Grind all floors, eleminate any synced enemies first
Must match all poison orbs on the final boss if they are on the board- focus on this and its easy
****Be sure you team heals at least 6000 hp or more in auto healing and you win as long as don't fail to match orbs on a turn or the poisons when they come in.

I grinded the last boss for over an hour and he died! No hera drop :( will be doing another run shortly hopefully I get my hera (I need this gravity!!!!) If you have a Godin please add me

Id: 320287395
Main Leads Lucifer, Ame No Uzume, currently also Siren as I am using here to get my hera. Good luck all and merry Xmas!

Edit: Checking back 2 more runs on master with no heras- took a deeper look at the dungeon and realized my team had just enough to move up to blessed.
Though it is a much longer grind.

Sucessfully completed twice - and 2 Heras!!! Thanks Gungho im feel so lucky! Small note - if you are going up to blessed all the same rules apply and be realllly careful with f3 sync dubs they hit 15k each - (if not full hp so any sync equals death =1 stone) Stall heavy on to have morning star up incase the treant spawns as it if it locks out your friend leader or your auto healer lead you may find yourself in trouble. Blessed is a big step up but best chance at an easier hera right here.

This is very easy clear with my fire team . I had Ame no uzumeas leader. Subs can be any good fire monsters. Friend I had urd. Monster does not have to be max skills or max awoken but I had some tpa and row. All lev easy clear with 3-4 red orbs and 4-5 combo. Used skill as nessacery I only used in last 2 floors . Last floor urd and had heal change to fire one shot . U can have water change to fire too . I got 4 drop in 4 run . I m very excited .

Whoa .. she dropped on my first try of Master. No strategy, just combo and wipe. My team: all maxed...
Famiel, Sakuya, Grodin, Blodin, & Aries. Friend's Ra Dragon uber maxed. Took 4 minutes.

Fu*k its a Fu*king Tree

Christmas with Gungtroll!
spent >100$ on stones for chibi rem, only got 2 rare chibi, the two i did not desperately need, lolith and yomi
Ran master Christmas dungeon during x2 drops, using noir x luci because none of my real teams are bulky enough to survive hera. it took 1 1/2 hours, 1 stone for a stupid mistake, and I can't run it again because i don't have another luci friend. and of course hera didn't drop. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-n times

merry Christmas, my fellow masochists, merry... Christmas

update: rolled in chibi rem again, got a SIXTH chibi karin and another lolith. was able to make another luci friend in time to redo dungeon during 2x drop rate. paid 1 stone for stamina. was unable to stall on first floor, and died to a treant on second floor. FML

re-update: new luci friend still available, 2x rate still on, so i tried again. another stone for stamina, another hour of my life gone, and 3-4 stones used for heart trolling and mistakes. Hera STILL WON'T DROP!

final update: third times the charm. after 49 minutes of careful puzzling, i managed to no stone the dungeon and won my first hera, (and my first 7star) just after the deadline for 2x drop ended. my winning team was; Noir lvl 12, SG Haku lvl 36 (3 awakenings), chibi lilith lvl 18, Pierdrawn lvl 30, and a dub mythlit. with a fully awakened chibi luci lvl 18 friend
