I got 53 seconds (including sharing bonus) using Piz'fer^, Jennish^, Bahamut^ and Odin^; only good enough for rank 554 now (it was rank 83 last night). Comparable results are probably achievable without any SS^ units - just Baha^, Odin^, Levi^ (for their column and cross(all) attacks) and a strong melee fourth. All four SS^ mages are probably required to reduce the final boss pincer from a double pincer action to a single pincer action, which is what you're seeing in the top 50.

Yeah, I remember running MZ6 before the patch. The mirrors would one-shot most of my units (and they were level 60ish characters so they should've had some survivability!) and the EXP was consistently less then MZ5, like 300K.
Like, you're not supposed to be careless enough to activate the mirrors anyway but the formations don't always work out so nicely if you're trying to kill as much as possible. Especially since my MZ carry is Bahamut^.
The videos for the new WC are freaky. Top 50 almost all have all 4 Z mages yikes. Bahamut^ and Levi^'s column attack together or one of their cross attacks is enough to take out the regular enemies though so yeah, two strong melee characters to take out the spear boss seems the way to go.

I have 2 z mages but those mofos take like 5 mz just to go up 3 levels
I can't quite figure out why Marilith (monster) levels so slowly. Piz'fer is out-pacing her on his way to 80 for Recode. Its near 100k exp (and growing) for her levels after the early 70s, that's crazy for her rank.
Koko is going to out-level her too at this rate.
Really? The B monster?
Maybe it's because monsters only have one job while adventurers have the EXP split among 3 jobs?
She's A rank, same as the other chimera and the wild dragons.
Her early levels were fast, no problem there. But to put some numbers to this Piz'fer J2 at 79 seems like he needs about 80-90k to level, Marilith at 75 needs ~70k to level (just looking at them right now).
(Now that I look at it, I guess I overshot how much she needed without paying attention but it still feels high.)
I can feel it on the winds! (Also they've been super quiet this week.)
Quite a few big patches have been released on wednesday, so I guess there's still hope we'll get something tonight.
I still got a few days of SB grinding ahead of me to finish up my golds, should be done by weekend though. Currently highest in the party are 82 - 83% and lowest 69 - 72%

Other than having an easy mode MZ 7 (which I doubt), there's nothing that could potentially replace 20-1.

i agree with this. 20-1 will probably be the most efficient stamina-to-exp ratio just due to the mechanics of the stage.
a lot of enemies, easy setups for 1 hit kos, relatively low hp monsters, no crazy enemy mechanics that disregard weapon class or magic type, the enemies aren't too strong that your trainee will die in one pincer and you can bypass having a healer with a z mage. its long, but with a good Z mage it can pass by in 5-7 minutes.
introducing another multi-stage chapter will probably require a 30+ chapter. and by then you would need a heftier party setup that would just bring down the exp amount. not to mention the survivability is greatly reduced. and stamina cost would be extreme.
Speaking of, I still can't breach 5:00. The closest I've come is a second pincer on the boss pushing it to maybe ~5:05. (Usually one pincer is enough)
Gotten really good at speedrunning 20-1 though. I don't see a point for 23-4 for me anymore at least.

Seems like the new dragon arena dungeon will be similar to TLS and have certain conditions you need to meet to get the mats for his job2 and job3.
Not really interested in the character at all, so the dungeon will probably be really low in my priorities list.
I welcome the new "buddy system", its been something I've been wanting in a game for a while now. With that and pvp in the game there should be plenty of things to do. I doubt we'll see the Endless dungeon before christmas time.
Think I'll be able to 100% all my golds except Pupru by the end of tomorrow. I'm sure the 2x gold pulls event will last until sunday, might be difficult to hold out on pulling instantly though, haha.

Rejin fully ready for recode.
Hopefully 10x PoT will be nice and give me Pupropé.

It will actually give you 10 Rejin. You know it to be true.
TIL Zael's Rally can cause your units to be hit by friendly fire.
So i've been grinding 6-8 for metal tickets, and recently put Zael in J3 on my team, so my team is Czekras, Leviathan, Zael, and Gigojago. On battle 4 of the stage i set up 2 pincers, the first one with Leviathan and Gigojago on the right and the second with Czekras and Zael on the left. During the first pincer activated by Leviathan and Gigojago, Czekras' Ice Blade Area 1 skill activates and kills the enemy below him, then Zael's Rally pulls him into the now vacant spot. When the pincer with Czekras and Zael activates next, Czekras takes damage from all the skills hitting that square where the enemy used to be and dies.
Funny, but if this happened on a difficult mission I would be pissed. It sucks that Rally is in Zael's J3, so we're stuck using his J2 if we want to avoid it.

Didn't they fix this?
What are you gonna do with all your free time?!!
Keep making up crazy teams! Marilith needs to get to 100% SB!
Did a 10 pull. New stuff was Gegonago, Bonna, Ka'pori, Korin, Metupi and Velraine.
Excited to get some new sword units. Don't know how good the A class stuff is going to be because I don't know enough about non S, SS, or Z guys. Already have the holy trinity, so more weapons guys are really only for specialized teams. Gegonago seems interesting due to his recode. Mot sure I can get excited about another S mage like Bona given I already have Piz'Fer who I just recoded to Z.
