Nice work and layout as usual buddy. Thx a lot again 💪🏻. 🤟🏻
Looking good! Just in time for the month-long Airstrip grinding event :D
I'm now half way towards getting WED Eddie, think he'll actually be my first of these frontier dungeon achievement characters. I'm really slow at these things... have this annoying habit of paying attention to reward drops instead of simply hitting auto-battle like a normal person! :P
My achievement team is pretty much the same as yours. Valhalla talismans remove the boss wave's Perfect Immunity, and Alchemy helps cleans various debuffs. Been using Forges, but don't think they've ever triggered yet. Been hearing good things about Ragnarok talismans in here though, will have a set of those soon, keen to try them out once I get my hands on WED!
Oh, I kept that enemy/talisman image pretty minimalist, but remember the Feldmarschall is immune to magic damage.
As always, great work Bakura. Appreciate the time you take to make these.
Not sure if I should post teams here but no one can stop me so here it is. :P
Team for after completing achievements, 28s best time, ~35s average:
WED Ed - Ragnarok/Echo
G. Dog - Greed/Echo/random yellow
Possessed Rockets - Light/cosmic
A. Golden Son - Starfire
Thanks man and thanks for the Trooper Badges, good luck with your clan!
Thanks man, I did update your strategy section. Good luck on getting W.E.D. Ed!... he's worth it.
Awesome... exactly what I like to see. Thanks fellow clansman!
Here’s my team (usually around 30-35 sec)
Soldier Eddie: Valhalla *Ascension
Undead Allied Soldier: Forge Cosmic
Possessed Rockets: Radiant Sacred
Golden Son (assassin): Starfire
Thank you very much again @Bakura. @azagthor also deserves congrats!
When you describe each wave, is impossible reading without singing 😆🤘🏻
"It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
Of engines roar in the night.
The mission is near the confident men
Are waiting to drop from the sky."
never liked single attacker Eddie with bad passive...
Nice Airstrip dungeon work! Thanks for sharing it with all
Does anyone knows if 3* yellow bricks dropping here? I read it some time ago but with one key I just got one brick, and I need tons of those. Also didn't get any talisman that time
That's not quite right sorry, Airstrip doesn't have guaranteed evo brick drops, but they are fairly common, around a 40% chance. Every run will give you four things, two from the shard/rune category which includes the bricks, and two from the currency/talisman category. The two cosmic evo materials has a small chance as an extra reward. So it's possible to get zero, one, or even two bricks each run.
If you need heaps of yellow bricks, the Labyrinth dungeon is the better option, although much more difficult.
Ive been getting funny result with this dungeon this past weekend. Dropped 1 key and won every match, avg time 2.10. swapped out some talis, dropped another key and won every match, avg time 1 minute. Dropped another 4 keys and won all matchs. on the 7th key I lost 1 match in every 5. Key 8 I lost nearly every 2nd match. no changes to my team or talis since the 2nd key. :confused:
What team are you using? Were you close to dying in the other battles?
I updated "Azagthor's Strategy" section w/ his latest addition. It's a quick Reference guide. You did great work man.... BTW, the little graphics on the side of both guides are pretty cool. It has a comment about drop rewards that pertains to and clears up this previous discussion.
I will post it here too.... it really looks great Azagthor.
You make it look easy, but I know that not only are the graphics time consuming, but also gathering and organizing the data presented.
Thanks bro for all your contributions and help in getting this new Dungeon Guide done!

What also may be of use is add the drop rates per X number of runs.. Such as ironite or SoT that may help newer players prepare on what will be needed to complete missions. I didnt pay much attention this go around , but got 40-60 % ironite return also had good SoT drop. Others may be able to fill in the other drop rates.
You could try echo cosmic on your gunner dog. Also since you are using immortality cosmic you dont need guard set. Try a two set of red or purple to enhance his attack, them use a mystic green for heath.
I found destiny or alchemy work good on Storm. That way you could add a cosmic or other set on him.
Thanks for the advice, Ill give that ago when I get home!
In the labyrinth I run around 70+ battles per key and average 40-70 yellow shards. I didnt follow the purple or colorless drops. That's an average after many keys.
Excellent thread. Nice work, Bakura, Azagthor.
Cross-posting my post-achievement team. Guaranteed 0:32 to 0:42 ... [eta: best new time 0:29]
I could probably level up some other multi-target attackers, but the Demon Spawns have been my 3-star mainstays and I'm fine with these times. Yes, I know the Crave and Perfect Crave are redundant.
...
Pre-achievements team. Best time, 0:38 with (upper range ~1:15):
I'm working on that alongside another friend, should have something to share with you all soon. Got some big spreedsheets we're working on. What sorts of information would you all find useful? We're currently leaning towards giving the number of total drops, the average drop per run, and the average drops per SoT (factoring in the SoT returns). That last one would eventually let us put together some sorts of "This is the most efficient place to farm"-style information about certain rewards. Is there anything else you've like us to include??
Ironite and SoT returns are pretty good in Airstrip. Softens the disappointment of the overall quality-level of the other rewards :P
Thinking about evolving the G Demon Spawn myself, be good to have another 3* who can use Vipers/Ragnarok.
Check out Bakura's Labyrinth guide here. Haven't done it myself yet, but it's probably less intimidating than it looks, as long as you have the right characters.
Hahah, thanks! Had fun with those, trying to isolate them from various screenshots. Glad you like them :)
I just started running this dungeon tonight for the Operation Midnight event.

You just need 2 characters.
W.E.D. Ed becomes a multi hitter w/ Death Mark Skill, plus Ragnarok inflicts true damage w/ every action.
The Starfires do the rest. Enemies attacking on Waves 3 & 5 pretty much kill themselves.
Mistakes would be using echo cosmic on single hitter Ed, and using Celestial or Alchemy (w/ invincibility) along with Starfires, cuz no damage prevents the enemy from triggering Starfires. These things would prolong the battle, and considering you get Explosive frags according to the number of battles, Time & Quantity of runs is the name of the game. I'm sure alot of you know this, but I state the obvious for some of the newer players.
Good Luck Troopers!
Oh wow, that works rather well! My cosmic doesn't have any damage stats unfortunately, but I'm still getting 41-49s runs. Which is easily half the time my pre-WED runs were taking :D
Haven't had a single Venom drop yet either, 215 runs. How have your Ashes of Ice and Gambling Dice drops been?
Ummmm... were venoms ever advertised as dropping from this dungeon? Because I did enough runs to get WED Ed, ran a few keys for Azagthor's stats, and have run nearly 1,000 for this annoying "event"... and I haven't gotten a single venom talisman out of here. I got a set from... something?... a while back. Maybe Gauntlet, or an evo event, don't rightly remember - but they're not dropping in Airstrip...
EDIT: I have gotten so many Radiants that I've filled a few dozen slots with them, got inventory overflow... if that helps at all...
For anyone that doesn't already have Where Eagles Dare Ed and want to earn his fragments in the Airstrip Challenge, this team has the necessary characters, just run them 200 times.

Yes, they SHOULD drop... and NO they are not.
Attachment 7644
Where’s the outrage for these not dropping?
I got a full set of venom talismans from two keys back when I played the dungeon 3 months ago. But only one radiant dropped. Not sure if the drop rates changed after that.
I have gotten them from this dungeon
They are extremely low drop rates.
I have easily 750 runs with this event and i have received 1 venom.
prior to this I do remember when the dungeon first came out i completed all of the first achievements and i had a good 2 or 3 sets drop in those 300 runs.
Meanwhile I have had about 4-5 full sets of radiant drop over these last 750 runs
I have received exactly one Venom talisman in 905 Airstrip runs. At least 4-5 sets of radiant in the same time.
In 525 airstrip runs, I've gotten 1 venom and at least 14 radiant. Like Natasmai, I have a few set of venom from when the dungeon first came out, so I guess the drop rates changed.
I believe they should tweak the drop rate a bit, since expecting 1000 runs for a single venom talisman is ridiculous. Especially since it involves an achievement required talisman set (Frozen wasteland achievement)...
So far I had 0 drops out of 500 dungeon runs...
Positive thing is that I only need a single drop because of having 2 pieces from sometimes earlier... guess I'll need another 500 runs to get it.
Well, I finished the Where Eagles Dare Ed stretch goal.
I got the Legendary cosmic talisman .... usually it's worse case scenario w/ these things (ie. white/blue T2.)

But this time I was surprised!
I really needed this.

This dungeon is starting to pay off.
I'm glad there was a pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow. I'm about there, myself. Best run at 0:25 now. [eta 0:24]
[eta.. Legendary Cosmic Talisman-- I got a White T2, Attack +15%.]
Update:
Ok, I decided to add a second Axis Bomber Boy w/ Starfire.

It's crazy.... I've got like 14 requests right now, from Troopers wanting to share my Where Eagles Dare Ed.
Never had so many w/ any other Champion.
Interesting! Most additional characters I tried only slowed things down, but a 2nd Bomber Boy with Starfires would work well. He can hit hard, and reflect even more damage. Good if you have multiple Starfire sets. Wonder if another strong AOE hitter with something like Persecution, which also reflects damage might also work? Will play around a bit next time I open a key.
WED Ed - Ragnarock (all 3 star lvl 30) + Cosmic Death Mark (Yellow T2 3 star level 30)
A Axis BB - Starfires (5 - 3 star lvl30 and 1 5star lvl50)
G Desert Golem - Primordials (all 5 star lvl 50)
avg time 32-34 sec, fastest 26 sec
I suspect it would go faster if I could level up those 3 star talismans.. alas 2 star colorless evo runes are near impossible to find in decent quantities any more.
