Machine Zeus Descended!

You know Mecha Zeus deals too much damage with his one shot attack, when you have an option to call that number.

This is 2020, and every monster in this game will have at least 10 mil hp and absorb any attack less than 10 combos. Please be prepared.

Just beat this today Solo 0-stone with a Revo Ra team (all hyper-maxed) no skill latents: *=inherited
#3273 Revo Ra *L Kali skill* (#3107 Keiji Skill better for this run)
#2905 D/R Super Ult LuBu
#2943 L/D Sherias Roots
#2902 Awoken Sun Quan (A-Orochi works) *Any inherent build some skill charges for Floor7*
#440 Super Gunma *A-Amaterasu skill* - Need for heal after F3
#3273 Revo Ra *Hades skill-Ultra gravity, 30% gravity* (A-Hades works)

Basically Super Gunma gives you the damage to burst through this dungeon
F1: Don't use skills just combo hard for three turns, should finish him 2nd or third turn depending on sky falls (Use L Kali Ra as a last resort!)
F2: Pop Roots and match all colours + heals to be able to sweep and tank the preemptive
F3: *Pop Gunma every turn from now on* Set up the board and stall if you need to- Sweep
F4: Gunma - Set up board - Sweep
F5: Gunma - Sweep
F6: Gunma - Sweep
F7: S/Q Delay - Set up board, then nuke, then set up board and match 1 to finish
F8: Gunma - Sweep
F9: This is where my run becomes inconsistent Pop L Kali skill and hope for a good board, if not then combo hard and pray to the skyfall gods. *Keiji skill can really up your %'s on this floor*
F10: Pop Gravity & LuBu - If the board looks good then combo hard, If not Roots should be back up and give you a second chance at a decent board. When all else fails Combo like a boss and pray lol.
Team probably wouldn't need to be all hyper-maxed if the HP badge was used but it would be a little harder obviously. Need enough HP to tank F3's 31,490 surprise attack.

Cleared this solo without issue and used 0 stones with a Sumire system of Sumire(L), Tidus[Creuse inherit], Sumire, Rinoa, Sumire, Sumire(L).
All you have to do is make sure to use 2 Sumire actives every turn and proceed to tank everything up to MZeus. At that point, it's only a matter of making 8 combos.

Once I got to MZeus I safely whittled him down close to 50% while building up a Creuse inherit on Tidus. This actually required attention, because it is imperative to not use a shield against MZeus' 15k attack to conserve heart orbs.
Once he was close to 50% I set up the board so that I could make a water row, a 5 +orb match, a heart cross, and 2 junk combos, and then followed up with Creuse for the kill.

Now some of you might be thinking "But Takamada-kun, you can't kill Mecha Zeus-chan with 6 combos!". And you're right, I prayed to the skyfall god.
Stalling against MZeus above 50% HP is safe, so I could've attempted it for as long as I wanted, but getting two combos isn't that unlikely when you're clearing most of the board anyways.

Although I beat it with this janky "strategy" because I didn't want to invest in something I was only gonna clear once- This team definitely has room for improvements and variations. Things such as:
-Using SDR latents to safely stall from 50%-20% on Mzeus.
-Not needlessly whittling down MZeus' HP.
-Replacing Rinoa with something that would actually help and v
-Managing actives on earlier floors so that Creuse(or Carat) is up right away to one-shot MZeus.
-Machine Killer latents on Sumire and Tidus.
-Using a combo count boosting active/inherit to make it less RNG reliant.

Would Sephiroth work well here? Machine killer is very nice, and 8 combos isn't a problem for him.

Pretty late to game in posting this, but I solo cleared this with Dathena lead. Subs were 2 RHaku (one with ryune inherit for hearts)/Yomidra (for hearts and dark)/AOkuni (with Loki inherited for final floor). Pretty easy, just make sure to stall on floors you can, and to heal up before the keepers preemptive strike

I don't see Zeus using hys Hyper Nova, instead he binds god cards first.

I didn't need those heart orbs anyways.

I don't think I will ever be ready for this dungeon :( I have at least 4 guys up to 99 hit points and 99 attack but I still have to work on my recovery for 3 out of 4 guys and still this dungeon scares me to death....... (that is all I see in my future against this dungeon!) (DEATH)

That moment when the best thing to farm mzeus is mooze himself

The moment when i saw the stream and want to quit pad.

Can this be beaten with a puppeteer team? Has anyone tried?

What team could possibly beat this???

A hit perfect every time in a row Ra ? Perhaps?

Can Rainbow b Myr teams in co op manage this? It's the 8 combos that get me. Hard to burst and do 8 combos.

Any team build suggestions?

Zero stone coop, half REM team, mostly hypermax (inherits in parenthesis):
NOTE: After beating MZeus 24 times I did watch Mantastic's YouTube vid, and yes there are similarities.
P1: R.Ra (LKali, DKali, or Maeda Keiji)
* Khepri
* Tengu (Carat or Sheen)
* LKali (Sherias Roots) [or DKali]
* Super Gunma [can inherit something so can use F1 w/o stall]
P2: R.Ra (LKali, DKali, or Maeda Keiji)
* R.Orochi
* Linthia
* LKali [or DKali]
* Super Gunma

Keys to success: need all ATTs, 2 or more 5 ATT + Hearts board changers (1 on each team), lots of SB for Carat (or TE for Sheen), 1 CD Gunma so can always activate Ra's 15x ATK (2 Ra = 225x), delay for F7 resolve, board refresh for F9, increase combos + spike for F10 MZeus.

F1: P1 no skill, P2 Gunma, kill
F2: board change -> 5 ATT + Hearts, kill
F3: board change -> 5 ATT + Hearts, kill
F4: Gunma, kill
F5: if P1 pass turn, P2 Gunma, kill
F6: Gunma, P1 MUST kill
F7: delay, DON'T USE Gunma to kill ... better to setup board, hit w/ 1 combo (just in case Maeda skill delayed 3 turns), Gunma when 2 turns left, kill w/ board setup
F8: Gunma, kill
F9: Maeda, kill
F10: Khepri, Carat/Sheen, kill

Success rate: 24 of 34 (user error or orb screw)

I beat it in solo with Revo Bastet!
- Revo Bastet +198 (Innerit Verdanti)
- Revo Parvati +297 (innerit Acala) Should be at max skill up
- Kaede +297 (innerit Sylvie) skill max
- Revo Orochi +166 (Innerit Viper orochi) With skill delay or skill up
- Vishnu +297 (innerit Kushinadahime)

F1 - kill on third turn
F2 - Pop Parvati (heal and kill)
F3 - Kill on third turn (Don't need to heal)
F4 - don't kill on first turn. Use Parvarti on 2nd turn (Heal and kill)
F5 - Use kaede or vishnu skill or friend Bastet
F6 - Use kaede or vishnu skill or friend Bastet
F7 - Pop Orichi (charge your skill)
F8 - Use kaede or vishnu skill or friend Bastet
F9 - Use kaede or vishnu skill or friend Bastet(must kill on first turn)
F10 - Use verdanti and make tpa (can also pop Acala if charge)

You may need some luck for floor 9 but i did it without magic stone!

I use the same team for Arena 1

I have no idea how to beat this dungeon, but I'm curious if anyone has attempted or succeeded using the PADZ light dragons for 100% light reduction....?

If anyone is like me, I'm looking to build a 1 time team to get Mach Zues for the Ra Dragon uevo. My devil teams are no match for this dungeon (and not a whole lotta good subs 2nd form of Ra Dragon), maybe get to boss with a few stones used, but he would gandalf me. YOU SHALL NOT PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

SUUUUUUPER heavy-REM team, but lots of room for variability in the subs. Heart makers are what matters most here, but subs with a compatible active (i.e. Super Gunma) and especially the 7-combo awakening (i.e. Lumiel, D. Meta) really make or break some floor sweeps:

Team 1:
Revo Anubis (Revo Anubis inherit)
Revo Pandora (UUevo Pandora inherit)
Akechi
Akechi (Anaphon inherit)
Awoken Okuninushi (Ras inherit - just for SDR)

Team 2:
Revo Anubis (Halloween Rozuel inherit)
Noctis (Nobunaga inherit)
Lumiel [7-combo awakening evo] (Halloween Parvati inherit)
Revo Tsukuyomi
Awoken Okuninshi (Awoken Okuninushi inherit)

Make sure you heal before the F3 preempt. Okuninushis are best used on F7 to break resolve and F9 to avoid that general stupidity (though just popping a skill w/ 8+ combos is fine too). Otherwise, literally most pre-boss floors are 1-shot by a 9/10-combo even without using a skills. Boss can't 1-shot you right away so you get 2+ tries for a solid one-shot combo.

multiplayer build. cost me 7 stones because I'm not that good at matching. I can get 6-7 combos reliably, so I needed skyfall for the 8+ on zeus, where I spent 6 stones.

team A (starts the dungeon)
3238 revo minerva lvl 92, +297, max skilled, max awoken, +1SDR
2744 gadius lvl 93, +38/+99/+95, slvl 5, max awoken, +1SDR
2970 tsubaki lvl 99, +5/+96/+99, max skilled/awoken, +1SDR
822 homura lvl 39, max skilled, 0 awoken, +0/+0/+0
2441 saria lvl 99, +15/+67/+65, max skilled/awoken, +1SDR

team B
3235 ilm hypermaxed
2744 gadius max lvl/skilled/awoken, +5/+0/+3
3260 tsubaki lvl 98, max skilled/awoken, +90/+84/+29
2441 saria, max lvl/skilled/awoken, +0/+0/+1
2744 gadius max lvl/skilled/awoken, +69/+61/+69

minerva halves most of the damage in this dungeon, and ilm gives 2.5x RCV for 4+ combos, so it's easy to wait several turns before healing.
60x ATK sweeps most floors.

be sure the team with minerva as lead clears floor 5, so the premptive bind on floor 6 hits her and goes poof.

got sidetracked on floor 9 and forgot what I was doing, so I got pummled and had to spend a stone.

floor 10: zeus has too much hp for this team to oneshot without some major skill that I don't have. Luckily he doesn't do much damage thanks to minerva. Just chip away at him. Ilm in theory can give you 10 combos, but that only happens to me about 5% of the time, maybe less. Just stick with saria, gadius, ilm. When the board looks too ugly to make 8 combos, then just clear the trash orbs and try not to heal him much.
I spent 6 stones trying to get finish him off after getting him under 20%. Ran out of board changers and had to wait for them to come back. Got a few unlucky skyfalls when clearing trash. Turned 5 combos of nothing into a 60x healfest more often than I care to remember. Good luck to you all, and may the next powercreep make this experience laughable.
