current goal is probably savage lion, but honestly I'm not sure what I can and can't beat in my current state. I haven't touched the uprising scrolls or bf2 battles, so I am open to any suggestions. Here are my units: https://imgur.com/a/7gsbQMI

Thanks for your help! Hey there! Welcome back!

Looking at your units, you should definitely be able to beat The Warmonger and The Savage Lion, but I'm unsure about the rest for now.

The Warmonger: OD Spam

Armaiti (Lead, Extra Action SP unlocked)

QiuTong

Tsovinar

Kranus

Hetepheres (DBB bonded with Kawab)

Osiris OR Armaiti (Friend)

''• Zaad's dungeon is fairly straightforward: just follow the mechanics of the dungeon, and you'll be fine. It's really more of a puzzle dungeon, really - the only big issue is his third phase, but other than that it's a walk in the park.''

''• You'll be cycling through Armaiti + Tsovinar's UBBs to gain Synergy Shards. In addition, though, I highly recommend putting in QiuTong's UBB somewhere in the mix, as he offers a 100% Mitigation buff via UBB. ''

''Due to the recent update, players are now locked to generating two DBB crystals per turn: one generated by activating a unit's UBB, and another by leaving a DBB candidate on Overdrive mode when you end your turn. ''

As Armaiti carries a 100% Extra Action buff via UBB, and Tsovinar carries a 100% Recast via UBB, you can, in a sense, loop the two's UBBs: you activate Armaiti's UBB and spam everyone else's BB/SBB to generate OD, then leave Tsovinar on Overdrive before ending your turn, doing the same in reverse order the next turn.

''• As DBB damage scales exponentially when it crits, equip your DBB caster (Hetepheres) with crit-related buffs and spheres. It won't deal much damage at first, but it'll come in handy come Zaad's 3rd phase.''

''• Genuinely the most straightforward of the bunch. Once you clear this dungeon, you'll get access to Karl, a fairly useful Water unit who can act as both a damage dealer and a support.''

The Savage Lion: Mono-Water

Florence (Lead)

Viviane & Orah

Kawab (DBB bonded with Hetepheres)

Serin (Extra Action SP unlocked)

Tsovinar

Sennie (Friend)

''• Like in Zaad's dungeon, you'll be cycling through Serin's and Tsovinar's DBBs to grind for DBB crystals. Again, equip your DBB caster (Kawab) with crit-related spheres and buffs.''

''•  I personally recommend using Phase 1 to grind for Synergy Shards, and nuke Baragan in Phase 2 and 3. This is because Baragan casts a turn skip debuff on his second phase, which is dangerous given the 35 turn limit of this dungeon.''

• As per usual, read the mechanics of the dungeon here.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope this helped! (^^)/
