People are starting to find sub 3min teams. If we generously assume 3min runs including reload time, we can get 40 runs per key. That's 20 keys you'd need. Can get 4 from the talisman-acheivements, and 3 for 2M gold each, so only 13 you'll need to spend FC to purchase. Which will put you back 3,250 FC and 6M gold.

For 800 runs, at 15SoT each, that's 12,000SoT, which is 3,000Ironite. You'll be able to do all the regular character-using achievements in those 800 runs, which will refund you 500 ironite. Four talisman souls too, which will get you back 4M gold.

So overall, the cheapest way to get the three main items is doing the 800 runs, the four talisman-wearing achievements, and the six character-using achievement. Assuming of course you have all the required characters and talismans for sub 3min runs. It will only cost you:

  • 3,250 FC
  • 2,500 Ironite
  • 2M Gold

Thanks for putting that together! I don't know if "only" is the right term though, regarding the ironite costs. Also I don't know if it is really worth the struggle, but well, it's something fresh to do.
The dungeon is very hard, I highly doubt that the majority of players can play it on auto. I tried around some teams and failed hard until the team suggestion in the other thread was posted. In the beginning I had KP first and Horus then, which leads to some losses, so be aware. Also the Forge set was important (plus the shield from the robot), as the snipers can one-hit you otherwise. The AI boost is again horrific, getting so many extra turns and cleans all the time plus some regular fury from sekhmet. Set with labs is another nasty move.
Given that high difficulty, a free key to start with would have been a nice thing.
