Dracula’s Descent (Dungeon) - Debut of 6 New Characters including Van Helsing Eddie!

[Muzzleloader]

I I am using the following

KP. warlord/sustain/sacred
Gambler. Cosmic/warlord. Have tried various 3 set purple no real difference
Major. Singularity
Charlotte. Dominance/sacred,/cosmic

I've no problems on madness, can do insanity 95% success.

You may try some other toon that can use singularity or alchemy to replace major. I heard some success with the quantum talisman, maybe on raven or some other healer.

I found orbit or valor on Charlotte not as reliable.

I’ve found a (mostly) successful Gunner team
Icarus Eddie with primordials boost and a cosmic version of boost
Cosmic Lol with alchemy and cosmic attack X magic
Anubis with Tomb and Grail
Pharaoh Dog with greed and boost
(This isn’t flawless but does work if the auto play feels nice)

[Muzzleloader]

My manual gunner team was

Cosmic Lol. Orbit. Others may wotk
Angel. Light/comic
Krampus. Celestial/cosmic
Wrathchild. Dominance/angel

The key to wave three. Uses LoL power move first to remove all buffs, wrathchild normal move kills both wolves if not the whole team. Casually takes 2 minutes.

Some numbers so far running Insanity . . .

4 SoT refills
120 minutes
46 runs
762 frags (16.6 per run)
120 ironite spent but 24 ironite returned in drops
So, net cost of 24 ironite per refill
Ignores any ironite coming from achievements

Based on this, it should take 2,000-2,500 ironite to guarantee Van Helsing.

Updated numbers for Insanity . . .

20 SoT refills
223 runs (+3 losses)
3,769 frags (16.9 per run)
600 ironite spent but 134 ironite returned in drops
So, net cost of 23.3 ironite per refill
Ignores any ironite coming from achievements

Based on this, it should take 2,200-2,600 ironite to guarantee Van Helsing.

[Yup]

Well the grind is ludicrous...... I think they actually hate players.

[Muzzleloader]

I dont think I will complete the grind for the prize, but my uncle lindicated it was about the same time/ironite cost that the ferryman event cost.

[Mateja]

Ok i give up,no possible to beat madness wave 3 with. Alchemy and gunner pyro soldier becase on start this 3 wolfs remove all my beneficial effect and inflict perfect corruption on all 4 characters
Something is very wrong here...

For gunner team I used on manual:

Krampus - Celestial/random green
Hallowed - Echo/Sun
Wrathchild - Serenity/Advantage/Cosmic
Chopper - random

Most talismans are 3* or 4* and Chopper is unsharded.

Disable passives with Chopper on 1st and 3rd round. Kill the left wolf on round 3 last. Use fury on VHE in the end, it removes vanish and deals damage after. If you do that everything else is easy and doesn't matter.
My run time was ~3 mins but with upgraded talies it's probably faster.

For auto mixed team I'm using

FFE - Frontier/cosmic w/ chance
KP - Warlord/Sustaining/Immunity
Madam - Alchemy/cosmic
G Krampus - Celestial

On average runs at around 1 minute. With Gambler it's a bit faster but has a chance for loss on wave 3 because of his multi hit. I have yet to lose with FFE.

Updated numbers for Insanity . . .

20 SoT refills
223 runs (+3 losses)
3,769 frags (16.9 per run)
600 ironite spent but 134 ironite returned in drops
So, net cost of 23.3 ironite per refill
Ignores any ironite coming from achievements

Based on this, it should take 2,200-2,600 ironite to guarantee Van Helsing.

My spreadsheet puts VHE ironite cost at 2380.

1533.33 runs for 92 event souls + 8 achievement souls.
This is every run at Insanity, minus the 45 non-Insanity achievement runs.

Unless I slipped up somewhere...

My spreadsheet puts VHE ironite cost at 2380.

1533.33 runs for 92 event souls + 8 achievement souls.
This is every run at Insanity, minus the 45 non-Insanity achievement runs.

Seems the ironite cost isnt particularly unreasonable for all even chars.... But still concerned the time to do it, based on the time based difficulty of the dungeon is more questionable:

Hum, maybe i'm bad at math maybe the devs are in another timeline because :

To reach the 1000 shard for the eddie (VHE), we need 86 Halloween souls (100 - 14 by achievement & first run reward)
The 10 Halloween souls cost is 2500 Fear of the Dark Eddie Soul shard.
If i use a average FDE shard reward of 17 by run at insanity difficulty (15 basics + random bonus) it's 12 647 runs. I think no one is actually doing less than a minute for insanity but with 1 insanity run = 1 min it's close to 211 hours. 8 days and 19 hours. 179 hours with an average of 20 shard per run…

The events are calculated by devs ? Because i have some doubt :/
