Got my [0] title.

Clear team and template

I haven’t been able to get any of the previous major titles - life is busy, didn’t have the teams ready, all that jazz. This time around I had several teams ready and way more time on my hands, so I thought why not ram my head into this for a while.

The second picture is a template that I found on a post by T_the_trainer that they credit to Jett. Massively helpful. If I were less lazy I would edit the pic, but I’ll just add some notes here instead.

For Typhon, you need the shield for both swipes, not just the 2nd one.

Secondly, I found stalling on F2 to be much less stressful than F1. Just do a red brick on f1 when you see none of them are water, or a red brick light vdp if one is. Then just match 5 reds and clear the rest of the board while systeming whenever ma’am isn’t swapped and you should be able to live.

Third, there are many places in this dungeon where a light brick plus red vdp can be substituted for red brick plus light vdp. Unfortunately, I do not know where exactly these are (definitely not macha). In general it does more than just a red brick but less than red brick light vdp.

I definitely think bride trailo equip is far better than lmeta, though lmeta is way more accessible. It was worth it even though I already had her at lvl 120. Tape is stressful.

For aten, I would do a red brick before doing rbrick+lvdp. I have failed to kill without some damage beforehand.

Some general advice with this dungeon with this team;

Always do your best to match all blue orbs while doing the required matches. If they build up too much you can absolutely lose because of it.

If you can, count sticky blind orbs. Frequently, they will only have 1 of any given color - use that one to do your matching and you don’t have to memorize which one is weird.

For spinner floors, remember you can hold spinners in place to get them to not change while other spinners do - this lets you sync them up for easier patterns.

Good luck out there to anyone else trying the challenge. I hope for your success.

Apologies for any formatting failures. I am on mobile

Congratulations! Thanks for posting - I will remember this setup for whenever I get around to MD4. I'm glad that Antares is becoming relevant.

I don't have any of the endgame titles yet, though I have largely have the box for some of the MD4 teams at this point. It just takes a lot of time to get a team prepared and then learn the dungeon so I can clear it in time. Between work and being sick last week, I haven't had much capacity to do much more than light farming and the easier challenge dungeons.

I know exactly what you mean. For the other titles it would take me like a week to prep a team due to my schedule, and then I would only have a couple hours to try to learn the dungeon and execute. I still haven’t beaten md2 or md3.

Does this set up work if the leads were swapped? I don't have a maam

I’m not the one who theorycrafted this, so I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Ma’am’s multiplier is only 32x whereas antares is 144x, so giving her the absorb piercer latent instead of the resists will result in a lot less damage, but it would be necessary due to how attack ordering works. If you want to try anyways, I can put ma’am up and switch her latent out for you. 346 262 353. I just can’t guarantee it is possible for it to work out that way.

it's cool. I'm making progress with the other antares team, with a dyna lead and making progress. Was just curious if this would be easier, and didn't want to change latents around unless i was sure. Thanks for the offer though!

Do you have any issues with damage on any floors? What about tanking hits? any close calls that require all the HP++?

The only floor that was super close and does fixed damage was f1, but that was without activating leader shield. The resists+shields are needed for the gravity floors (Sonia’s, Big Bang). F13 did enough that I would definitely die without the 50% shield cycling. So did Indra, vritra, and typhon, off the top of my head.

Added. Put my Antares with absorption piercer, hp++ latents, and diamond remdra assist up in slot 1
