The Cosmic Shinobi Talisman provides an exclusive bonus when equipped to any Shinobi. This Talisman increases the stats of your Shinobi in battle, and reduces incoming damage. It ensures your Shinobi are immune to all negative effects, including innate and unblockable stun, permadeath, taunt, and skill disabling effects. Every attack against any enemy deals true damage to all of their allies equal to 2% of their MAX HP, and every Perfect Hit against enemies deals 15% of their Max HP in true damage.

Discovered Riches Currency is the event currency of our Ancient Expedition event running throughout July.

In Russian localization it's sounds like NUCLEAR awakening shard, not paranoia

Hi everyone,

I struggle to complete Sun & Steel (Hard), manual or auto. I have Number of the beast Eddie, the Mercenary, the Wicker Man and Cosmic Baphomet all maxed awakened. I've tried different combination Talisman and It still takes forever to pass the first round because of the double block. Is there a talisman that helps for this ? I'm also defeated 33% of the time.

Thanks,

Got through Hard on auto but does take ages on the first round. At 4-8 min per run I'm not going for the talisman challenges (would require 10+ keys). I had one defeat on auto.

Team:
Thor Eddie MA, Cosmic Aesir, Fortune (almost redundant by the Aesir, I know - too lazy to change).
Cosmic Baphomet MA - Light, Cosmic Dominance
The Wicker Man MA - Lycan, Cosmic Health (Gold T2 5*)
Lucifer Morningstar 1A - Riposte, Cosmic Death

They're just my "max available" warriors.

I'm still working on combos for 100% but if you take Madame Fortune with Immunity on her in with your team then her passive disable *should* take out two of the three blockers, so you only have to deal with one of them (the shinobi with Yggdrasils). Penance talismans will also help add more passive disable if needed.

I'm getting around 45 runs/key (no defeats) on hard with the following team:

Phantom Eddie (Max) - Wrathful, Mask T3
Killer Beast (Max) - Wrathful, Paranoia T1
Cosmic Baphomet (Max) - Wrathful, Sulfur T2 Yellow
Empress Regent Eupatoria - Ragknorak, Crimean Imperial T3

Fastest time was 1:17. The paranoia prevents all the blockers on wave 1; it might still need a bit of tweaking to speed up the final round if Cosmic Shinobi gets her invisibility buff but Baphomet has a chance to remove that and it seems reliable so far. An alternative to Killer Beast is Borte, Heart Piercer as her basic applies Passive Disable more reliably than Madame Fortune's passive; that worked out at 40 hard runs/key so took marginally longer but was still zero defeats.

I've been running:
MA NOTB Ed (forge / bespoke)
MA Killer Beast (wrathful / paranoia)
MA W Odin (ragnarok / archer)
Eupatoria (viper / bespoke)
Fastest 0:54, average 1:30-1:40.

100% safe, you can also sub MA Mercenary (ragnarok / prudence) for W Odin, slightly slower but also safe and enables you to work towards another achievement.

Overall this hard level is way less punishing than Infernal Hard or Powerslave Hard, but that's a good thing as both those dungeons were arguably too hard (at least in terms of setting up a viable 100% auto team).

Don't forget the Paranoia bespoke talisman. It disables multiblockers and Ygg. The warrior character that can equip it is Killer Beast.

I'm currently running:
Phantom (Bespoke + Wrathful)
Russian Sniper (Bespoke + Ragnarok)
Killer Beast (Bespoke + Riposte)
Lucifer (don't remember which Talis)

I'm doing around 2:15 per run, so not great, but not bad. Haven't died yet, but I don't have enough runs yet to know if it's totally safe.

So basically you cant use any if the quest talismans in the dungeon to complete the quest. ... Brilliant

That's what backseat Eddies are for. :-)
