Shining Death Queen - Mythical

call me crazy but im drawn to this descends. i like the idea of a white hera shes the girl with a heart of gold in this dungeon in my opinon. someone once said to me "boy youre the salt to my potato" thought he was a homeless man foudn out he was a ceoo of a corporation "staples" so what do you think i did i told him about my yomi collection, told him i like to go boating and maybe we should boat together. he said "boy what is in your head" and i looked at him and he became a boat

Merr wrote up a nice Luci guide for Legend, so I'll do a quick one for Mythical (more or less the same strategy).

Luci/luci might sound like a no brainer in this one, but it's been awhile since we've had a doable descend with him so our old friend is a bit rusty.

Team: Rebel Seraph/Hera/Hera-is/Vamp/Joker/Rebel Seraph

HP/Skill Requirement: >61180 is actually enough, but >65082 is nice if you just want to tank F5 without stalling in F4. A skilled Joker is nice but not required. Vamp is for RCV and boost in damage.

Stones: If you don't get a devil/devil in F1, expect a zero stone. If not... well F2 is going to be difficult.

Strategy
---

F1: If you want to safely zero stone this, it is essential you get both Heras and Lucis up. If you get devil/devil, try to stall anyways, but know that F2 is going to be painful. I believe this is quite rare, though.

F2: If you have your skills up, this floor is cake. Grav twice, and luci/luci two cyclops. Stall on the last one.

If you only managed the Heras up, grav twice so they're forced to use raised weapon. Hope they're on different turns and try to kill at least one asap.

If you have no gravs/luci up, and there is at LEAST two cyclops on the same turn, target the leftmost cyclops of these. This is important because they attack from left to right, so you want the first cyclops below 50% to stop him from using heavy blow. It's better to get hit by giga impact and THEN a heavy blow rather than heavy blow first (in which case you will die). Regardless, this will be tough.

F3: I suggest you Luci this guy ASAP to prevent yourself from going mad.

F4: Stall for skills.

F5: If you have enough to tank a hit, you can kill him however you want. He repeats his countdown. You don't need skills up for the next level. If you don't have enough life to tank a hit, activate vampire/joker on the first turn, and use one gravity, and one MS. If done right, this should have taken him down below 400k. It's up to you if you want to use another gravity, but you will definitely need the last MS.

F6: Take out the demons and stall out your skills. Once he's around 20%, you can Luci him. Make sure you can heal up for next round.

F7: Very easy, but it is important that you have all your skills up for the next round.

F8: If there is a light demon, don't take chances. Grav twice and luci it. If there are two light demons, kill them one after the other. Activate drawn joker before killing the second one if you do not have enough on the board to heal up for F9. And if you really don't feel safe after killing the first light demon (the second one can still bind you), you can activate joker before killing the first light demon.

F9: Simple but long. Once she uses "the end is nigh", hera and then luci her. If you don't have hearts on the board, activate joker because Hera skill binds you next turn.

F10: Simple but even longer. You have a lot of time to heal up between her 61k hits, but try to make some >5 combos to prevent an aneurysm. I personally healed up immediately after the 61k, and used the remaining time building up the board for a manual CTW because it's fun.

And that's it. Seems complicated but it's not. Most important point is stalling for F2. The rest is just pushing your Luci patience to the max.

0-stoned with a trusty Ama/Odin build:

Leader - Dancing Light Amaterasu Ohkami - max level and max awoken
Awoken Hera - level 82, max awoken (not necessary), can sub with any grav
Awoken Zeus - level 40 (MUST BE A 35% GRAVITY)
High Dark Ninja - level 60
High Dark Ninja - level 22
Friend Leader - Shining Lance Wielder Odin - max level and max awoken

Ended up with ~12000 hp. No +eggs needed.

F1 - stall until all skills up; much easier when one of them is a Mystic Knight or Cyclops

F2 - use Zeus gravity and one MS each to kill two of the Cyclopes. Kill the third normally.

F3 - two Gungnirs will do it. All non-Gungnir skills should be up when you kill.

F4 - kill any troublesome synced monsters with MS if necessary. Stall until all skills up before moving on.

F5 - use Zeus gravity followed by one MS. Combo until counter reaches 1, then use remaining MS to kill, using other Grav beforehand if necessary.

F6 - use Gungnir ON THE LEFT-HAND BLOOD DEMON! Enemies attack from left to right so Odin's leader skill will cushion the blow from Vamp, which is necessary for survival unless you have ~14500 HP. Kill the other Blood Demon, then whittle down Vamp and finish with an MS before he starts using Nightmare Slash (<20%)

F7 - must be very precise here. Stall for all skills while getting Venus down as close to 50% HP as you can while keeping her in her Light Attribute form. Try to set up a good board for combo-ing (i.e. with a good amount of light and dark orbs), then use an MS. It should leave her with ~27000 HP. If you're sure you can kill her simply by combo-ing, great. If not, use Gungnir to finish, but be aware that if you do so, luck plays a factor on the next floor.

F8 - If at least one is a Hellray Harpie Demon, use available skills to kill it, then stall on the other for skills before finishing with an MS (be careful not to go under 35% or you'll activate Evil Slash which will kill you). If they are both Helldark Blood Demons, first curse your luck, then second, unload your skills on one of them. If you managed to save your Gungnir on Venus, the Demon will be near enough to death where a fairly easy amount of combo-ing will finish it off. If you didn't save Gungnir, you're dead unless you have 14000 HP.

F9 - Bring Athena down to just above 50% without going into Green. Use one MS, then Zeus, then second MS and Gungnir to kill. If you accidentally went over since the combo requirement makes it a little tricky, it's OK, it will just make the last floor take a little longer. Simply use both gravs then both MSes to kill.

F10 - use your remaining grav if you have it to make things go faster. While stalling for all skills, bring Hera down below 50% HP with combos, then unload all gravs first followed by nukes, which should be just enough to kill her as long as Odin has more than 1200 ATK (easily satisfied if Odin is close to max level).

It takes a while, about an hour and a half when I did it, but it's relatively safe and not REM-heavy.

with the 10x + eggs on descends event, I've done this dungeon 5 times today.
5, 7, 7, 5, 6 for a total of 30 eggs in 5 runs, average of 6 eggs per run.

Seems like a winner to me.

amenouzume team with good subs can do this dungeon too =)

Share a luci build for Mythical.
2 Leader:Luci
Sub:Awoken hera-is,D/D hades,W/D ceres,Drawn joker
Max-skilled Joker recommended.Hades can be any gravity.Max skilled gravity not required but higher skill lv will make things faster.Ceres for remove bind.
HP requirement:AT LEAST 65083
1F:Stall for 35 turns for MS.(However,you may fail)
2F:If MS are ready(Probably grav are ready as well)2grav+1MS to remove one.Then so be no sweat.
If failed in stalling,pray for not all 3 Cyclops are same CD.If it happen,just quit(RIP 50 stam)If not,you should be safe.
Anyway,don't use MS to end as 3F has Pre-emptive Strike.
3F:MS one shot.Recommended remove all poison orb before MS.
4F:No sweat,right?
5F:Heal 65083/3 turn,should be easy for double luci.MS and grav to speed up.
6F:Kill demon first then vamp.MS and grav to speed up.
7F:Grind through.Have 2 grav and 1 MS before Kill
8F:2 grav>MS to kill light first.If D/D just 2 grav,grind on one,MS when Evil Slash.If L/L,Remaining may bind your luci,but max awoken ceres won't get bound.Use her skill or match a row of heart to remove bind.
9F:Grind with 4 combo+.Grav>MS when 15%.Recommend use Joker's skill before kill.
10F:Ignore the skill bind.Heal and grind.Grav and MS speed up.When<50%,heal 61181/3tur n(Way easier then 5F)And grind with 5 combo+.Grav and MS speed up.No sweat.Such easy!

this has a chance to drop athena yes

Ronia team 0-stoned but patience is definitely key on this descend. Lots of stalling required.

I got around ~27k EXP from here

 

Since my "Suggest a build" submissions never seem to make it, I'll write a comment. My team was:

(MYTHICAL LEVEL)

Ult Kirin +230, Ult Verche, Ult Valkyrie, Ult Siegfried, Ult Echidna, Ult Kirin +297
All max level, and except for my Kirin, everyone else was max skill level or 1 level away from max skill level.

This is a really easy dungeon to pass with any decent Kirin team without a dark on it. I'll go through stage-by-stage. You'll want at least 16,000ish HP.

General notes: Spend the time and plan your moves. If you don't have a stylus, I would suggest you get or order one on Amazon. It helps you immensely because your thumb or index finger doesn't get in the way and hide that bottom right area. Use your heart breakers and orb changers and delays judiciously. There are a lot of opportunities to stall in this dungeon.

1. If you get at least one devil, kill it and stall until all actives are up. If you get 2 Knights and/or Cyclops, then wait until 1 turn left and sweep.

2. The PDX isn't really clear. If 2 of them are on the same attack turns, then the first attacks with 15,090 dmg and the second guy does 75%. So if there's 2 of them on the same turn, and one not, then kill the lone guy first. Make sure if they drop below 50%, they don't attack you b/c it'll be OHKO.

3. Black Baron is annoying, so just sweep ASAP.

4. Stall until 1 turn left if possible, then sweep.

5. You have 3 turns to kill Tornado Holy Dragon's 1.4m HP. Take your time and kill.

6. Possible light blind, which will really rape you, so sweep the two demons ASAP. You can stall on the Vamp if you need to.

7. I just killed Venus in one turn. Just make sure if can't kill her in one turn, you do less than 600k dmg. Once she's below 50% HP, her attacks will OHKO or bind you. If you have a decent team, even a basic 4-combo 25x might take her below 50%. Depending on how your board looks like, either aim to kill her in one turn (use Valk or Verche actives to augment your damage) or use your Echidna. You can stall on the next floor.

8. KILL THE DARK ONE! Light bind again, so kill kill kill. Stall on the light demon if you need to, otherwise sweep.

9. Ok, so the last stage Hera has a 5-turn active skill block pre-emptive, but your Kirins' have a combined 40% to block it. So you have to decide whether you want to risk saving your active skills for Hera or use it all on Athena. I suggest using Echidna and ONE Kirin mini-gravity. That'll leave her with less than 1.8m hp and 4 turns to kill. Just make sure you do 5 or more combos to kill.

10. Alright so you got here, good job. Now, you essentially have 3 free turns to kill her if you can do decent attacks on her every turn without getting orb trolled. Let's assume you're skill blocked, so no actives. First turn, try to deal at least 800k combined dmg, pretty easy. She'll use her Shield skill, which doesn't damage you. Deal another 800k dmg and bring her down into her Dark HP. She'll then use her 5-combo absorb thing, which doesn't damage you. Kill her 1.6m dark HP with your heavily light based team.

You have to be careful of her Thunder Arrow skill. If she binds anyone other than Verche, you're in for some trouble because it's an almost endless cycle. In this case, if she kills you, it'll be worth using 1 stone to escape the bind cycle and kill her.

For me this was pretty easy because I spent 3+ minutes on the important floors planning out my moves. I always did 6+ combos on the mini-bosses easily, and 7+ on Venus, Athena, and Hera. I also wasn't orb trolled in the important stages, so I had that going for me.

Mythical difficulty can be zero stoned with a double Lucifer build.

Do you think a double Gabriel team would work with Hera-Is as a gravity sub? What subs should I use?

This was my first mythical descended dungeon.
Zero stones
My team was:
Leader Rebel Seraph Lucifer lv.62 skill lv.1 fully awoken 3+ eggs
Awoken Hera lv.56 skill lv.2 no awakenings 3+ eggs
Hera lv.50 skill lv.1 1+egg
Hera lv.50 skill lv.1 no plus
Drawn Joker lv.53 Max skill Max Awoken no plus
Friend leader Rebel Seraph Lucifer lv.Max skill lv.1 fully Awoken 180+ eggs
Total health about 48k and Recovery around 8k
Floor 1 stall 35 turns
side note: kill one stall on the other if there is 3 dark orbs match with no combos just keep matching orbs and using Joker to stay alive

Floor 2. If done correctly easy just double gravity morning star match any orb morning star the other with the lowest counter and stall for actives

Floor 3. Morning star if you saved at least two sets of heart orbs because you don't wanna stay here too long cause he can get frustrating

Floor 4. Same as floor 1 just stall for actives

Floor 5. Gravity morning star gravity match orb morning star make sure theres enough heal orbs to heal fully though

Floor 6. Gravity and kill off the two demons because they can hit hard then just grind down vampire and gravity morning star to finish.

Floor 7. Easy just grind and heal and you should be safe but before proceeding make sure active are up

Floor 8. If there are two light demons just double gravity morning star then heal and morning star and pray you don't get bind.
If not just gravity morning star the light demon first and grind the dark one or just triple gravity morning star both

Floor 9. Easy just grind to 50% double gravity morning star match orb morning star done.
Again make sure they're are enough heal orbs to heal cause Hera might bind your skills

Floor 10. We're finally here yay!
just gravity once and grind down 50 % this can be painful cause she changes your dark orbs to light.
When 50% just triple gravity morning star match orb morning star again for the finish cause she won't attack for three turns.
Oh and enjoy your Hera ;)
I Ran legend three times no drop that's why I decide to try mythical and it was surprisingly easy.
Best of luck to y'all and I hope this guide helped
From your friend RpgGamer

The information for Shining Death Queen's Test is wrong. It is not a 1 time use. It is recast constantly below 50%.

already ran 4 times, no genbu invade :\

Has anyone tried this with an Awoken Minerva, Awoken Neptune, or Awoken Ceres team? It looks like this dungeon would be a joke with usage of any of those 3. I would love to hear if anyone has tried it.

Edit 2 months later: Did it with a minerva team multiple times, it is a joke. Check builds for my old team, by now I replaced monsters on that team.
I now use:
Awoken Minerva
RGY
Shiva
Sonia
Dragon shogun
Awoken Minerva

With this new team it has become ten times easier than it used to be. On karin and hera sowilo make sure to use all of the abilities in this order: Sonia->Minerva->Shiva->Shogun.

Will sub out RGY with another sonia if I get it,sub out Shogun for lubu if I get it, and finally replace shiva with Dairy Queen Hera Ur when I finish getting 2 more fire jewels. This team also works for: Athena, Paradise of the Holy beasts, King of Gods,Legendary Mountain Path,Cauchemar Descended,Thoth and sopdet(with some luck on F1),Izanami,Takenamikata,Possibly satan(havent tried, floor 1 seems the hardest),Sandalphon(if you get rid of the minerva leader or helper with a sonia that is not the same evo as the one you have)

Hope I helped :)

Can anyone confirm if the build by rccab will work on this difficulty? I can make it but the wording implies it was made for Legend not Mythical ("mine dropped first try").

Edit-Never mind, I just checked Hera-Sowilo's attack at less than 50% and it would kill in one shot with that team.

2nd Edit-It could work with a high enough level team and all 3 reduce dark damage awakenings.

Can anyone suggest a good team build for a zero to 1 stone of this dungeon

www.puzzledragonx.com/en/profile.asp?u=63898

Theres my collection I left out a few low level un evoed monsters, any advice would be helpful , even if it for a legend run.....thanks

Took a few tries to beat this without stone, but with some careful calculation I was able to do this with Ama+297/Odin+3, king of hell satan +88atk, devilfish +25atk, dark zeus +5atk, dragon lord zaerog. All were lvl Maxexcept zaerog was lvl 59. I didn't post this in team builds because it is not reliable. if you get all 3 cyclops synced you're done, if you get the wrong mix of minions yor're done, and takes very careful planing and stalling to make it past the mini bosses. Zeus and zaerog could be interchangeable.
A few pointers: vampire round will be entered after using satan, so immediately use devil fish to kill minions before healing and stalling. On Dragon you need to kill in one turn. On baron you have to exit with all skills except devilfish, to do this take a couple hits to allow devil fish a nice spike. you will beat Venus with satan and at the two Devils you need to 35/35/DF to kill light and then use odin and combo to kill dark; if both light you're good if both dark you're dead. On Athena get close to 50% then use satan/35/35/heal/Odin/DF/big combo to enter hera with full life. Good luck is required for this build.

Check out this video for more details on how to clear this Mythical dungeon with no stone.

I am using a Rsonia Devil team in this video.

Check it out! It might help you to create your own team to clear this dungeon!

That moment when you get your first Athena from here but still haven't cleared Athena Decended :)

I kinda got boned by not paying attention to Hera's 6 combo absorb (as opposed to Athena's 5 combo). I took Hera down to below 50, she put up her fancy absorber, I popped all my skills for a juicy hit and 5 combo-ed her back to full health.

Guess Ill never get my Awoken Venus, or at least not until the kids version of this dungeon comes back around, I'm just not ready for Mythicals.

water jewel invades at a high rate in this coin version. got 5 out of 7 runs.

+ eggs for days!!! Nom nom nom...

Ran during 10x descends. Got a treasure chest on every floor except 2, 8 and 10. The info for this dungeon should reflect that treasure chests can drop on floors 1 and 4.
I knew it had to be too good to be true. It's not as quick as Goemon, but has far more floors with drops. Back to Goemon for me.

Tag-team hypermax Kefka/Zeromus ftw. Them boys sure plowed the way through for Pandora!

....next up, Urotsukidoji collab! With Awoken Venus!

Anyone else have trouble in the 5-minute time limit challenge? I managed it finally with a Minerva/Ilm team (3 seconds to spare!) after many tries using my late-game favorite teams. I just could not get enough combos in with any darks on my team because of the dark absorb and the fact that you have 10 levels to get through in 5 minutes.

The +99 5min time is nearly impossible to do with all of the skill binds, and absorbs...

ok i got this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkQzztrxTTw

this dungeon is clearable all you need is a mono green team
297 g carbuncle leader
subs: dragon flowers (flower beam too op)

I'm not a noob, but the whole 6 combo thing was a pain in my ass, I finally did it after spending 7 stones cause I was like no, no, no you will be mine.. but it says it absorbs anything under a 5 combo, but if you get a 5 combo it absorbs it anyways, at any rate, I hate her and I'm glad it's over with, BTW I used double lubu and hades, hera, neptune, and vritara, it worked well until her stupid absorb

2nd Floor is the most frustrating dungeon.

Took me 3 tries, and finally beat it with no Hera drop.

Wow 99999 coins? Really?

That awkward moment when your parents suddenly comes home.

This might be a guess, but this dungeon might be the 6/30-31 descend dungeon

Can someone explain to me why the Black Baron is only taking 1 damage at a time? Even my team's active skills only do 1 damage at a time to him, what the heck is going on? Is the dungeon glitched?

Athena descended just became obsolete

The mis information on this page cost me 50 stamina and 3 eggs. F uck you padx. Hera will spam all of her abilities infinitely. Shining Test is not single use. And she will use it no matter what her HP is. Fu ck this site.
