Tips & Tricks

• It is highly recommended to bring 6 full parties (30 members) to the run by the use of Versus Team Condition. The demons are merciless and will happily murder you to oblivion.
• Teamwork is vital. Any failure to coordinate the battle plan to go exactly as planned will screw up the whole run and difficult to be done on time.
• Your demon should be able to hold on their own salt. Any unrebirthed demon with bad skill set will likely be a goner in one solid hit.
• Make one chat tab for party + team only. You can get info faster that way without other interruption (i.e. Damage log).
• A team can't function if certain parts aren't listening, we need to communicate!
• Set loot to Free-For-All (Each parties) and assign a person (Leader preferred) to mix and use on tower upon confirmation from all other members.
• Do not bring your personal issue/grudge against a player when playing. Play properly and prioritize to finish the run as soon as possible.
• Refrain from abusing the Team chat with pointless text. Only use when needed (i.e. when you are ready to suppress the tower and awaiting for order)
