MACLO XI (Dungeon) - Virtual XI Eddie Debut!

[Esquatcho]

So any other reliable madness mining teams? Got through the challenge using POM/KP/Icarus/Horus but it fails about 1 in 5. Anything else I tried doesnt seem to work! Thought FFE/Alchemist/KP/Assassin Hellraiser should sort em easily, but I guess the probs is the valk.

Maybe necropolis talismans and other max HP reducers are the go here?

[Yup]

Everything I used failed (on auto) about 1 in 5 due to those Labyrinth talismans and nothing else. I just ran it manually for 7-8 runs.

Any recommendations that we can substitute for Killer Prime?

For mine, the replacement for KP is anything that can remove beneficial effects & can heal & can do big damage.... So hardly anyone! lol

Icarus (remove & heal) / POM (remove & damage) / FFE (awesome) / Sentinel Banshee (shield removal & heal) / sentinel derby demon (remove beneficial + timebombs) / green lilith (no max hp reductions/remove immunity/revive/cleanse)

So far, pretty slow, but my most reliable auto-madness team:

Alex: Green + necro - big damage, necro helps take down that assassin, but maybe warlords would be safer again?
G Lilith: Green + Purple - Stops 1st rnd assassin and gives plenty of heals. With her, the round with all the magus becomes the bigger risk.
KP: Sustaining + Whatever - For buff removal + AoE damage
M Lilith: Fortune + green - Undecided how useful she is. Fortune helps a fair bit, but once she goes, Alex is stuffed in the 2nd round. Considering putting in someone else instead to help take down those magus in the 2nd round.

Going to try assassin CR instead of lilith, with the fortunes or destiny next I think & give alex warlords instead.... But am convinced KP + G lilith are the key ones....

Edit: Bah, easy past the 1st level now. Always suck on the 3rd level now with the 4 magus and the warrior undead rescuer.... Any ideas?

Here are my madness auto teams. The sentinel one fails every now and then but it got me through the challenge. The other failed after maybe 50 runs. So niether are fool proof but they worked well enough for me. Also I had every possible health relic for sentinels and magus so that might have helped me out a lot. The mixed auto team usually beat each run in under 3 minutes

Sentinel madness
S lillith (trap, true, regen)
Piece of Mind eddie (angel, health, cosmic [15%health])
Killer prime (mark, energy)
S val valkrye (energy, chance)

Other madness
Piece of mined eddie (same talismans as above)
Gunner krampus (destiny, advantage)
Killer prime (same)
Ancient Mariner (titan, revenge)

Hmmm interesting. Whats the thinking with the Mariner?

But yeah, Im not even half way on relics, so its working against me for sure....

[hold]

12 Mythical Sentinel (I saved them for a while) - 0 VX Ed ... but 5 Icarus (3 in a row) and 5 Pharao Ed
About 50 Sentinel souls - 1 5* -> Pharao few 4*

Bored now - I stop - will get at some point - won't waste any Legendary souls for this now... bit frustrating but well prepared for the next sac event.

3 vortex and no Virtual XI Eddie but the exclusive Sentinel and the Magus bots ... so I don't have to complain ... VXIE will comes in time

Edit : Got AMPA from a single event soul ... on VXIE missing now

I thought they would change back the Dungeon conditions back to normal after april fools day is over, but I was wrong. Seems like there is a hidden coin toss at each wave to decide who goes first - at least it is not always the same for my runs. This approach is interesting, but doing this in this particular Dungeon is heavy because of this ultra annoying Labyrinth Astra! This makes the runs considerably longer than normal, and I guess for newer players with less relics it is extremely hard or almost unplayable on madness!
This Talisman set is awful for the game fun and I hope they nerf them. Even beter: delete them! I can imagine a lot of frustration in Gauntlet (and PvP, but there a loss is not that severe).

My team takes 2:30-5 Minutes for madness, this is a huge variability that makes planning your time for the game even harder, which is not necessary in my opinion.

Btw my team is Alex, KP, MLilith, Sekhmet

Maybe I will play around with other characters that do multiple hits to get Astra down quicker when I have time
