Volsung Descended!

Idk if anyone else can confirm, but the drop rate for this (Legend Plus) seems to be 100% just like Mythical Plus. I've been solo farming it for the past few hours (44k exp per run is nice) for skill ups/awokens before I evolve him and after ~10 runs he's always dropped on the last floor.

I've tried swapping a few subs around and the ones I settled with run it really smoothly. Team is:

- Awoken Bastet
- Verdandi
- Christmas Alraune
- Awoken Freyja
- Vishnu

- Awoken Bastet

All monsters are max level, max skilled, full awoken, and have no plus eggs. Friend lead had +297.

F1: Kill with 3 or 4 green orbs. No need to use more, save them for next floor. If you only have a few, feel free to use Vishnu here and do a full clear to setup for the next floor.

F2: If you haven't used Vishnu yet, I usually use it here. If you don't have 7+ greens you might have to use a Bastet to have enough damage to kill the red bugs. You can survive a hit from both of them if the blue one dies, but you don't want to.

F3: He doesn't attack for 4 turns if you take him under 75%. You can stall here, but it's not necessary. He's tankier than you might think when under 50%, so don't wait until the last turn to kill him.

F4: Similar to F1 except you don't want that many green going into next floor. Save some hearts.

F5: Use Alraune immediately. (IMPORTANT) It's very easy to do too much damage and one-shot him. Don't ever two-prong or combo too hard. You want to stall here or you won't have Alraune back up in time for the final floor. Heal up and take him under 50% in the first 5 turns. Once he binds all of your monsters, clear the trash off the board and set up to kill him next turn.

F6: After he slaps you, feel free to use Vishnu. Make sure to take him under 80% with your first attack to buy an extra turn. You can easily one shot him, and if you do it's ok, but taking an extra turn means you'll have Vishnu back up right away on the last floor.

F7: You have to do at least ~420k to kill the super ruby. You want 4-7+ greens. If you only have a few, try to set up some cascades and you'll be really likely to get some more from Vishnu's +15%. Once you're ready, use Bastet, then Awoken Freyja.

F8: You don't wanna mess around with her. I usually use Verdandi here. You don't have to, cause even with a single two-prong and good combos you do insane damage with Freyja. But I usually use Verdandi unless I have 7+ greens cause she allows me to leave 2 or 3 greens for next floor. Next floor is far less scary though.

F9: Use Bastet and take him down.

F10: Use Alraune. You should also have Vishnu up and a Bastet. If Vishnu is up, use him right now, his green skyfall increase overrides Volsung's red/blue skyfall increase. Save your other Bastet for another turn though so you can activate her leader skill again. After a few turns he should be dead.

If you plan on farming this solo for skill ups/awokens anytime, I would do it soon. I think in a few weeks they're going to remove solo mode. They're replacing it with a search feature, and I'm not really sure how it's gonna work. If it let's you choose, it won't be harder as long as there are some competent teammates available at any given time. But I'd do it while you can more reliably plan your team/level-ups/etc..

It took me quite a few tries with Horus to initially get this bad boy, but for skilling him up I have found solo farming with Neptune to be a breeze. So far I'm at a 100% clear rate 9 runs in.

Leads:
- ANeptune
Subs:
- Hermes or Hatsume
- AHera-is
- Karin or Skuld or Bonia
- flex (hear maker or another orb changer)

Simply use orb changers for every floor that isn't blue except 1/4 and use orb changers or stock a good board on floors 6/9 to prevent annoying (though not fatal) mass binds/boss heal.

Only issues are:

- needing to match at least one heal combo after getting hit by snake God hiss (-99%) in 1 (or if your willing to risk hitting below 50 without killing: 3) turns to save you from the next rounds preventive strike, which can be solved easily by using a heartmaker as your flex sub
- needing to hit 1 row and 1x3 to clear round 7 (I use Neptune as well) which can depend on what orbchangers you brought and board you were given
- hitting boss below 50% before skills are back up if you used them to clear floor 9 easily (with floor 9's frequent blue orb changing its best to simply let him gift you a nice board and use Neptune, but Karin is always a guaranteed quick and easy kill for an easy 5+ combo with a row)

FYI if you end up needing to stall on the last floor than your first hit should be the only one where you actually try to combo and you might not want to use a row as his +CD attack may be annoying, but its easy to kill him too quickly!

Everyone will be max lvl by the end except AHera-is who will be 50-51 depending on what showed up on floors 1/4.

I used Hatsume, Hermes, Karin, and AHera-is; but I would use a heartmaker like Andromeda or Gabriel if I had one for more safety on floor 5 since I have many times been forced to hit him below 50% to stall for hearts but luckily haven't accidentally OHKO'd him yet.

This dungeon isn't that bad for a green Verdandi team. Just be sure to bring a delay with for the boss otherwise the resolve, the green absorb and the change to red will make things difficult.

1. What does the transform passive skill on floor 9 do?

2. What does the boss do in the 80-90% HP range? Skills are listed for >90 and <80 but nothing in between, and his attack is listed as "skill".

ugh so I accidentally hit him to like 10%, and he went hella all out on me.
So Volsung skips everything, and puts priority on his 20% nuke move, or his 1% nuke move. depending on amount of hp. Please be careful about this, cuz I wasn't and I got completely destroyed.

There is an error on this page, it says stamina is 40 for Legend Plus, but it is actually 50 stamina

This dang dungeon has killed me like a million times. Purple dungeons are the only ones in the special section I haven't cleared. Very frustrating.

This dungeon is utterly ridiculous and was not fun.

Made an account to reiterate fattires advice. A Neptune lead with a skuld 2nd lead works great

solo

a liu bei
a a zeus-dios
swallowtail
a. meimei
perseus
a liu bei

swallowtail for bugs and last floor
stall for skills on pengdra/metal dragon floors
perseus, liu bei on hera
meimei on first volsung, 2nd liu bei if orb trolled
swallowtail, dios on final volsung

could probably use this for mythical plus, if able to stall on hera or volsung to get swallowtail back up after using it for the predras.

overall hp is really low throughout the dungeon. I had +297 liu beis, +236 zeus, +157 meimei, and still barely beat the bugs before I realized I could just poison them.
The 4x atk for using a skill makes a big difference on most floors.

So ... In my KR alt accounts, I just cleared this dungeon really easily with Noctis. The account is a little over two months old, rank 211, and has several 6* GFEs already ... On my main NA account, I didn't get that far in a year ... That aside, this is my team:

Noctis
Typhon
Halloween Chiyome
Eschamali
Dill Sirius
Noctis

Noctis and Eschamali are +297 and Typhon is pretty close. Chiyome and Dill Sirius don't have many pluses. Friend +297.

I started with 28k hp. One-shot all floors. On final boss, make 4 combos and hit him under 50%, then kill. I didn't try Myth+ since I don't have true damage.

tl;dr: Extreme powercreep, hahaha. Noctis is crazy strong ...

idk if im missing anything, but why is everyone putting their builds in the comments section instead of putting it in the team builds section?

OMG... I just died. Set up a nice combo ... then I had 8 skyfall drop combos....

Super easy in Coop with Reincarnated Neptune and Blue Echoes Mion leaders. Water or water/dark orb changer and water/god multiplier subs will get you through no problem, at least at legend-plus level.

One thing to keep in mind though, the -99% HP attack on the last level will ignore your defenses, so you better be ready to OHKO.
