Strafing Run (Dungeon) - Debut of 4 New Characters including Aces Bomber Eddie!

[Leviathan]

Aces Bomber Eddie and the Corrupt Feldmarschall are making their Legacy of the Beast debut.

These characters are fully skill sharded, special edition versions of Aces High Eddie and the Corrupt General, and are exclusive to the Soaring Soul.

From now until June 10th, 5 PM PT, go airborne and battle in the Strafing Run dungeon! The Strafing Run Dungeon comes with it’s own unique storyline (viewable the first time you complete Normal difficulty), and is packed with easter eggs!

The first time you complete one of the 3 floors available, you will be granted with set rewards including Soaring Souls and Purge Talismans. All subsequent victories are guaranteed to provide Gunner Bomber Boy Soul Fragments, as well as a chance of up to 2 bonus rewards, including Primordial Talismans.

Gunner Bomber Boy fragments can be used in two different ways!

---

1. Trade in Store!
   
   Trade the Bomber Boy Fragments you earn in the dungeon for items in the Event Shop. The following items are available:
   
   
   • Soaring Soul x1 (320 Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments, UNLIMITED)
   • Soaring Soul Pack (3 Souls) x1 (880 Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments, UNLIMITED)
   • Soaring Soul Mega-Pack (10 Souls) x1 (2500 Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments, UNLIMITED)
   • Heroic Legendary Soul 1x (750 Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments, 1 per event)
   • Gold 50,000x (50 Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments, UNLIMITED)
   • Rare Soul x1 (100 Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments, 10 times per event)
   
   
2. Obtain a Gunner Bomber Boy - Not Recommended until AFTER event!
   
   Use 400 Bomber Boy Fragments to claim a Gunner Bomber Boy Soul. The Gunner Bomber Boy Soul is guaranteed to grant a 4★ Gunner Bomber Boy.
   
   Converting Bomber Boy Fragments into their Souls and/or opening those Souls is not reversible, so please avoid converting your Bomber Boy Fragments until after this event is over.
   
   After the event is over you can then claim a Bomber Boy Soul in order to add to your character pool (he’s great in the Daily Challenge dungeon!), or have fodder for your next big Sacrifice. Alternatively, you could convert these fragments into Precious Soul Fragments!

Soaring Soul Details

The Soaring Soul is a limited time event soul which guarantees a 3★ to 5★ character of any class, with an exclusive chance of getting the Corrupt Feldmarschall and Aces Bomber Eddie, and an increased chance of receiving the Gunner or Magus Pyro Soldier!

This Soul will drop as part of the first time victory rewards in the Strafing Dungeon, and you can earn Soaring Soul Fragments, as well as a FULL SET of Avenger Talismans, by completing Event Challenges.

Soaring Souls can also be purchased in the store using Gunner Bomber Boy Fragments.

Each Soaring Soul summoned will also grant bonus rewards of 10 Corrupt Feldmarschall Fragments, and 10 Aces Bomber Soul Fragments.

Collecting 750 Corrupt Feldmarschall Soul Fragments guarantees the Corrupt Feldmarschall, whereas 500 Aces Bomber Soul Fragments guarantees Aces Bomber Eddie.

Exclusive Chance

Aces Bomber Eddie (5★ Gunner): This special edition version of Aces High Eddie comes fully skill sharded and armed with the Spitfire passive, replacing the regular Aces High fury attack. This ability grants Eddie Perfect Immunity for the duration of the battle, and reduces all damage taken by 60%! Spitfire also removes Immunity and Perfect Immunity and inflicts 3 Marks on any target with the Labyrinth or Viper Talisman set equipped every turn.

Check out more on Aces Bomber Eddie in his Character Discussions forum post.

Corrupt Feldmarschall (5★ Magus): This special edition version of The Corrupt General comes fully skill sharded and armed with the Warmonger passive, replacing the regular Corrupt General fury attack. This ability grants him complete immunity to Magic Damage, as well as Perfect Immunity for the duration of battle! It will also Exhaust and Drain 1 power from each enemy that is stunned at the start of your turn every turn.

Please note that these characters are not currently available in any other souls, so if you miss your chance to recruit them, it may be a very long time until you get another chance!

Increased Chance

Pyro Soldier (4★ Gunner): A magic damager who can support your team by granting Perfect Accuracy and Perfect Heal Shields, and by inflicting Sleep on enemies.

Pyro Soldier (4★ Magus): A physical damager who inflicts True Burn and Time Bombs, and can increase the duration of negative effects on enemies.

I would go with Crusader who deals true damage, Angel of pain who reduces beneficial effects by one turn, Alchemist with angel talis and mark or fate, and lilith with fortunes or if you don't have fortunes put destiny on. However, I think it will be tricky and time consuming. I wish you luck.

[Yup]

Crusader (True Damager and Ally Buff Cleanser)
Alchemist (Healer and cleanser)
Angel of Pain (reduce enemy buff length)

Then the problem you have is Gold Buffs. Nothing on that list will remove/steal/prevent gold buffs and there are a lot of them in Madness.

M Hellraiser may be good due to his Perfect Corruption passive at start. I don't recall if he'll remove gold buffs, but he will remove blue buffs, which can help.

Or throw in M Lilith to beef up defense via blocking to outlast all the enemy reviving that takes place in madness.

In my experience, you can pretty much forget about using SOL, Wickerman, and Carriage Rider for any event. They just aren't resilient enough for events. You can help them with some talisman setups - i.e. Labyrinth on 7thSon - but out of that list Crusader is the strongest, then 7thSon, then GRE.

----------------

No clue how Rags got 800 runs in already. I burned SOT all yesterday and overnight (all madness).... I'm only around 300 runs.

That's a quicker team than I'm using for magus auto on madness:

7th Son (labyrinth & cosmic)
Derby Demon (viper & cosmic)
Ferryman (hex, immunity & cosmic)
Mariner (eternal)
