Introduction
With the announcement of free 390,000 Monster Points being given out to all players over the course of March along with the highly anticipated evolutions for the original 5 MP Dragons, many players are excited to take the next step in their Puzzling adventure. However, these evolutions are challenging to perform and very few players are actually able to clear Arena 3 and acquire the Radar Dragon they need. Thankfully, we will now gain the ability to “easily” acquire any Radar Dragon of our choosing through a special hourly dungeon.
While this is great for the most part, these dungeons are actually very challenging and feature their respective Radar Dragon in a buffed form compared to their Arena 3 counterpart. However, the dungeon is quite short in nature and there are many different strategies for efficiently dealing with each encounter along with the option to simply stone to continue if you badly need the drop.
I plan to clear and record all of the dungeons and will upload the team/video to this post as they are released.
If you want to read more about which MP card to purchase, please refer to my guide HERE.

Hephaestus Guerrilla Steps |
|
| Floor 1 | Player 1: Karin  + Hermes  , optimal board |
| Floor 2 | Player 2: 1 combo Player 1: PASS Player 2: Raphael  swipePlayer 1: 1 combo Player 2: Sun Quan  , Hermes or Blue Sonia  Player 1: 0 combo, do not kill Player 2: Kill via ping as Apollo is at 1 HP |
| Floor 3 | Player 1: Mori  , Sarasvati  & try to push below 50%Player 2: Push below 50% if triggered resolve. Use any actives Player 1: Blue Sonia , Sarasvati Kill |
Karin has God and Dragon Killer which enables her to deal incredible burst damage against all 3 floors and 9x to Heph.
You should plan out who will be receiving the 15 turn skill delay and try your best to use actives from that side wherever possible. In my case, Player 2 is delayed.
On the final floor, you can trigger the resolve as it will heal him to 50% HP and 1 health. You simply need to ping with any source of damage to remove the resolve.
Sarasvati could easily be replaced by any high damage glass cannon leader. You should prioritize heavy orb changers as it is simply a burst and kill scenario.
If unable to inherit Raphael , can simply use him as a sub or use a large shielding sub to survive. Do your best to return to full health every turn.
Killer awakenings are very powerful here as there is no absorption mechanic and the resolves are not too hazardous. You can hit Heph into resolve and then have him resurrect without taking any damage.

Do not bring a dark team. Also, find a team that has very high damage output. Pretty much the only hard requirements. You can simply stall the 99 turns, but that is quite a grueling experience and if you want to kill faster, you need to have appropriate damage control. Do not use Killer awakenings.
Noah Dragon VOIDS all damage above 5 million. Void means it will deal 0 damage when dealing more than 5 million damage and means cards like Fujin 
have no effect.
The above team is pretty much my Arena 3 team.

Zeus Guerrilla Steps |
|
| Floor 1 | Player 1: 1 combo Player 2: Raphael -> Dios  SwipePlayer 1: PASS Player 2: Ping for 1 damage |
| Floor 2 | Player 1: Green Odin  -> Dios Swipe |
| Floor 3 | Player 2: Famiel  -> Sakuya  -> Hades  -> PASSPlayer 1: Sakuya -> Yomi  -> Dios Swipe |
Assuming the team is at least +99 attack, you will always kill Zeus Dragon even with 1 combo:
This comes out to around 50-51 million damage and you only need 48 million to kill Zeus after the Gravities. Tengu will have a tiny bit more attack when I inherit Green Odin.
I had to make an adjustment to my team as people have pointed out that 20 million damage from the Sakuya Gravity would be voided (I thought 20 million was safe) so I am using Famiel to tickle for 100,000 damage then proceeding as normal. You must use Gravities in the order that is listed.
For some reason my Hera-Beorc 
is missing from my box so I am doing this strategy instead of using her 10% gravity.

Hera Guerrilla Steps |
|
| Floor 1 | Player 1: Mori kill |
| Floor 2 | Player 2: Hera-Is  , Zeus/Hera  , Hades , Meri  7 combo, kill |
| Floor 3 | Player 1: Indra  when going to be hit. Genie  after
Make a row + 2-5 combos based on your own damage output |
Player 2 can have dark cards as the binds only hit the Player 1. I have 3 SDR 
on most of my Player 1 cards and the 2 turn haste from Mori help brings those cards back up.
You cannot use a 50% damage reduction shield as this Hera Dragon hits significantly harder than the Arena 3 version. On Hera Dragon, you must never match more than 6 connected water orbs in a row formation. You can go for 7+, but it has to be in a blob. The amount of combos you make is dependent on the number of your Orb Enhances 
and Row 
awakenings your team has.
The three Gravities push Ceres below her 30% resolve right away and any combination you can configure that achieves the same result is fine.
A very popular strategy is to use Reincarnated Hades and his massive dark damage reduction to cheese your way through. Just make sure you bring a 10 turn bind clear for the first floor.
Conclusion
I will continue to update and populate the team rosters as I do more research and actually play the dungeons along with uploading the videos right away.
Best of luck in acquiring your Radar Dragons.
Happy Puzzling!

Sakuya is a 20% gravity, and if ZeusDra has full HP, that means 100mil x 20% = 20million, and it would get nullified, no?

Unless I am horribly mistaken, it is above and the 20% is safe and then the subsequent 25% at 80m HP as you will then be dealing another 20 million damage =)

You are horribly mistaken. Even the 20M damage will get nullified,that’s why most JP builds have a Beorc to enhance the board and deal 10M to start using Sakuya freely.

Hey experts, can you help me with my potential team?
My brother and I desperately want to beat this, but neither of us have Lui Bei. Therefore, we are working on building our team using Ilm. . . . Ok, so here’s what we got:
Player 1
Ilm -> Saria inherit for small damage boost
Ilm -> saria inherit for small damage boost
Hathor -> Raph for damage boost
Pollux -> sakuya inherit for boss
Sakuya -> yellow for damage boost
Player 2
Ilm
Raphael
Pollux -> Nova (for enhance at last wave)
Odin ?? Dunno what to do about this slot. . .
Sakuya -> (with 100,000 damage burst inherit due to your update)
Assuming 1 Ilm per floor for Zues Dios look alike, do you think this would work? If I count correctly, we have the following skill boosts:
Player 1
8
Player 2
9
total: 17
Any thoughts out there would be appreciated. thanks!

I ran your team twice. The first time we messed up, but the second time we won! I don’t have a 25% gravity (e.g., Hades) or Raphael so I ran Player 1, but I think this strategy would work for me when playing Player 2:
F1, P1 1 combo
F1, P2 PASS
F1, P1 Raphael, Zeus Dios, swipe
F1, P2 Ping for 1 damage
F2, P1 1 combo, take 99% hit
F2, P2 Green Odin, Zeus Dios, swipe
F3, P1 Famiel/Hera Beorc, Sakuya, Hades, PASS
F3, P2 Zeus Dios, Sakuya, Hera Beorc, swipe
If we both have Hera Beorcs then the gravities should bring Zeus Dragon down to under 39%, and one swipe easily finish him off.

There is so much damage going on that i feel like you either need heart cross up constantly or some other gimmick like Hades. Since i don’t have Hades and only an Awoken Izanagi(not to mention my inconsistency with heart cross), i can’t do that. But i do have Reincarnated Neptune who has less Dark resist but also gets Light resist for the first floor. These are my general thoughts for both teams:
Reincarnated Neptune
Elysium – Gravity Assist
Elysium – Gravity Assist
Shangri-la – Board change assist like Karin or Ryune
Devil or attacker(Dark or Water) Flex with God Killer Awakening – Board change assist like Karin or Ryune
Floor one
1.He will bind all dark cards but you don’t need Elysiums or your flex and can wait out the bind.
2.Pop Neptune as soon as possible. Verche has no status shield. Grind/poison him down while gravitys charge. Try to clear all jammers to avoid his hardest hit and heal up every turn.
Floor two
1. Pop both gravity then pass
2. 2nd player pops gravitys then begins grind since leader skill can now reduce incoming damage. Make sure to 7+ combo to not heal her. When she is getting low pop the full board change, as well as a Neptune for 2.5x enhanced damage.
Floor three
1. Grind down matching water and dark while healing up.
2. When low enough pop gravitys, board change and Neptune.
2. Easier said then done.
It is also not the fastest and I’m sure you will come up with something quicker then this, but all of these cards are within reach for me.
LikeLike
One thing about this build…do element resists stack or multiply? If you have 2 leads that are -%50 damage each it becomes -75% and not -%100. But i have seen videos where 4 Elysium resist all dark damage.
Are the Awoken skills more effective then the leader skills?
ie could the team get away with 1 Elysium and 1 Shangri-La and the other slots can be better subs?
LikeLike
I am not 100% sure on the resist question as I have never used these types of teams, but I am certain you should be able to hit 100% damage reduction with enough awakenings.
It sounds like it could work, but that does depend on how the resists work. Also, you will probably never be able to gravity Hera as it will deal more than 2m damage and heal her.
LikeLike
Resists work as follows:
They are multiplicative in a leader skill
They are additive with awoken skills (Latents AND regular)
If you have BOTH leader and awoken skills, they are multiplicative.
So if you had 30 dark latents and two awoken hades you would have
75%, 75% and 30% DR.
So you would calculate the damage reduction as: 1-(0.7*0.25*0.25), or 95.6% DR.

Thank you for the clarification!

For Noah Dragon (yes, I’m early):
A mostly farmable and easy, though cheesy way of beating her dungeon (which is probably the easiest Radar Dungeon) is to use a Goemon Team. You can basically sweep every floor, but you’ll need a Sylph-active or Raphel-Active vor Awilda. Noah herself isn’t that difficult since they key of the team is using the blue stone dragon, Mythril. Noah will only bind your subs and the resistance will make stalling the 99 turns very easy. Then just just two ZeusHera Gravitys, switch the leaders back and you’re good to go! There’ll be one team for the offensive part and one team with key utility. Mythril should be on both teams, since this makes stalling much easier!
I hope this is mostly understandable, I’ll develop a team, if there’s any interest.
LikeLike
I agree that Noah dragon is the universally easiest encounter, but stalling for 99 is not fun =P I’ll need to do more research to try n figure out a viable team that can kill without stalling

Well I was bored enough to actually creat a 🧀 team, with as little REM-investment as possible 😀

Tsubaki (Freyr/Carat inherit)
Ult-Mythril (Raphael Inherit)
Yamato Takeru
Team2
Goemon
ZeusHera
ZeusHera
Coloring Book Sakuya (Delay inherit)
Ult-Mythril
Floor 1:
– P1: use Goemon -> sweep
Floor 2:
– P2: stall
– P1: use Raphael, then Goemon -> sweep
Floor 3:
– P2: waste a turn
– P1: use Surtr/Goemon -> sweep
Floor 4:
– P2: use delay, setup board for Yamato Active
– P1: use Freyr/Carat, then Yamato -> sweep AND heal
Floor 5:
– P2: use Mythril, heal more if needed
– P1: stall until Mythril is up, then use Mythril
– P1+2: stall 99 turns and charge actives
– P2: after 99 turns if there’s no Fire or Light absorb: use Sakuya (for Binds), use both ZeusHera, switch Mythril back, pass turn
– P1: switch Mythril back, use Freyr/Carat, use Goemon -> sweep
Yamato Takeru should be on the last sub slot, if unlucky skyfalls appear. If you have Beach-Goemon, you can also use normal Mythril. Delay on Sakuya has to be under 11 turns.
This is a safe build, but is very very slow, so sit back and enjoy the stalling! 😀

Hey Mantastic – thank you SO much for putting this up and for updating with your Hera strategy. I ended up having to stall quite a few turns both because my ZHera wasn’t max skilled and because I had to reverse teams 1 and 2 due to timing (my main account which had the requirements for Team 1 was the first guerilla hour and I missed your post while the hour was on so had to wait until it was my alt account’s turn, but that one only had the reqs for Team 2 haha).

Player 1: 1 combo
Player 2: A Sun Quan, A Hermes or Blue Sonia Kill
What part of this knocks him below 50%? Player 2 has to get the kill so that they can take the preemptive hit of Skill cooldown. I feel like ‘Player 1: 1 Combo’ has to be the hit to take him below 50%.

Delay allows you to hit him to 1 hp and not trigger anything. You need to wait 3 turns hence the Raphael or big shield

** = nice to have
*** = essential
Hypermax is preferred, especially on Tsubaki (Dragon x 2 killers deal serious damage!). Other cards w/ killer awokens help (eg – Baldin, Laila)
Let’s win this:
Turn 1 (Team 1): Save heal, wood, fire and dark orbs, remove others (read Turn 5)
Turn 2 (Team 2): Heal (save W, F, D)
Turn 3 (Team 1): Use Baldin’s skill (50% dmg reduction), heal (save W, F, D)
Turn 4: Heal (save W, F, D)
Turn 5: Use Yamato’s skill (convert W, D) and kill with prejudice
—
Turns 6-8: Stall, heal (you have close to 100K health, you can take a hit or two)
Turn 9: Use Orochi’s skill, save fire orbs
Turn 10, 11: Wait out the 50% damage reduction (or burst down if you can)
Turn 12+: Make sure Team 2 hits down to 1 HP (ie – breaks the resolve)
Turn 13 (Team 1): Use Laila and/or Cao Cao skills. If you have 3 dark or wood orbs, use them to kill while saving fire orbs, otherwise burn 3 fires
—
Turn 14: Use the fire orbs you created in Turn 13 and Baldin’s skill (plus Sanada if necessary), get Hephy-G below 50%
Turn 15: Laugh. Then heal. Or pass to make use of Baldin’s x2 dmg
Turn 15 passed/16: Activate Sonia’s skill and enjoy the gold egg. Give yourself a high five, you earned it.
