Hello Troopers
Is the soyga book good enough to spend 5000 fragments?
Did you already test it in battle?
Thank you

[Nifelheim]

It’s worth it. It’s basically a 5 star cosmic. Takes 5+million to level up. If you don’t have a t3 nautical bespoke, that’s worth it too.

I like this event. Good duration and good event currency drop rate, better than usual. I also like that it is roughly a year since the Final Journey dungeon first launched, good timing. I would love to see event durations increase, as long as the requirements don't also increase. I'm still going through a bunch of health problems, and it feels a little hard to keep up at times. Please give us more time to work through and enjoy the events.


Ok folks, this is what the dungeon looks like.

Rather glad they decided not to give the Max Awakened Navigator and Mariner any talismans, as their awakened abilities are pretty strong on their own. While the dungeon probably wont give people too much trouble (the T3 Charity virtue cosmic can disable both GotN/Mariner), the Ferryman in the final wave can lead to wildly inconsistent fight times. I didn't spend any time looking into consistent ways to passive disable him, and instead focused on burns. My times would vary by a full minute. Maybe Viper or Penance talismans might be a faster option?

Anyway, this is what I was using. Not at all optimal, and some choices were purely due to various event challenges and achievements, and laziness.

Blackbeard Ed - Sulfur/Lantern/T3-Nautical (Good aoe damage, and Burns. Felt faster than Dark Roads)
S. Onyx Son - Gluttonous/T3-Charity (Excellent aoe damage)
S. Anubis - Yggdrasil/Aries (Survivability, and Burns. Desert Diety bespoke's extra turns can slow down Ferryman fight)
G. Corrupted Rescuer - Ragnarok/Rot (An aoe Ragnarok wearer. Didn't want to mess with Plague Doctor's Dark Ghost)



I'm not actually sure how much of a difference the Charity cosmic makes. Unless you reliably kill the Navigator in the first turn, his basic attack will reactive his passive allowing him to revive when you kill him, adding more time to your run. Haven't really done any proper testing, but my runs were fairly similar with or without the Charity. Adding the Lanterns to Blackbeard made more of a noticeable difference. How about you, what tricks or tactics did you find useful?

Your dungeon summary graphics are exquisite, Azagthor. Best wishes for your health.

Nice writeup and quality work as always mate I enjoy reading your writeups. Some comments based on personal experience.

(the T3 Charity virtue cosmic can disable both GotN/Mariner)

Only it doesn't. GotN's passive remains active at least he keeps reviving and nothing justifies that, except his passive. It is true, what you write, that he enables his passive with his basic attack, but Charity disables hist passive at start of battle and at start of every turn. So he should never revive unless he dies in his turns after he landed his basic attack. I can only assume he's considered a boss in this wave, hence Charity is not working.

the Ferryman in the final wave can lead to wildly inconsistent fight times. I didn't spend any time looking into consistent ways to passive disable him

You can't. He's considered a boss, thus can't be passive disabled. Tried Penance, Terrible Tim, DRE, nothing beats his passive, your best bet is Doomsday or Doomsday Apocalypse Eddie (available in FC store). Navigator also works, but inferior to either Doomsday Eds.

I'm still going through a bunch of health problems

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better buddy. Up the Irons!
