Introduction
The Rikuu Ranking Tournament is an exciting event as it gives players another chance to acquire Rikuu 
as well as obtaining a Crown.
Scoring at or above the 26% threshold will yield a Rikuu while 6% will guarantee a Crown. Depending on your personal goals and puzzling skills, both rewards may be obtainable and I wish to share my Crowning strategy with you.

Zeus Verse requires players to have 3 heals/full damage voids to maintain their health at 100% in order to waltz through the dungeon. I do not own an Amaterasu so I utilize the Ganesha to void the 99% Gravity from Hino on Floor 5.
In addition, I use Water Resist to reduce the damage from the Cat on Floor 8 to ensure I can heal back to full. In hindsight, I could have just used the Light Metatron Weapon Inherit but this also works.
For the most part, you can simply 1 combo each floor and this ensures a faster clear time and a higher score. Of course, there is some luck involved, but this set up helped minimize the failures and my highest score was achieved with only a few runs.
Conclusion
The Rikuu Ranking Tournament is an exciting event as it offers generous rewards at what is arguably the most generous rates possible.
Let me know what you used for the Tournament and how well you have placed.
Happy Puzzling!

I assume all of your critters are max-skilled. How many skill boosts do you have? Your assist skills come up very quickly…

Well nice to see that not have a Zeus Verse is killing my ability to do Ranking Dungeons.

Verse teams are somewhat capped on their scores but are pretty good for getting a crown. Using 7×6 and combos with buttons to kill 3-4 floors results in a higher score potential.

I keep getting bad boards on Vulcan ☹️

At 25 stamina per attempt, its not too bad to retry! Both accounts will crown with not too many attempts for me. Only troubles are Vulcan boards and Rikuu skyfalls

Thanks for the guide! I’ve been able to get 116,500 so far using this team. Hoping that will hang on and be enough for the crown; it will be my first.
Also, if anyone is having trouble finding friends with this Zeus setup (most of the Zeuses on my friends list have balanced killers and I struggled to find many with at least two devil killers), feel free to add me- 399,305,306
I’ll have a Zeus Verse with three devil killers and a Weld inherit up for the remainder of the tournament. I normally have Edward and Yusuke up, with Yog on BF slot.

Hey Mantastic!!
Do you think it’s possible to crown in this dungeon with a variation of Nudist beach in this dungeon?

Assuming you can run it like a Zeus Verse build in that you sweep every floor in a timely manner, yes

I found Nene is a good alternative to the dark/light board active (which I don’t have) – the light/blue orbs is enough dmg and gives the extra consistency of +2 combos

Glad you found a workaround solution!

Was able to squeeze in my first crown range with 115900 for 5.8%. Might keep trying to punch that up by a couple seconds.
Had to make a few minor tweaks but this was a super helpful outline. Thanks a lot.

Mantastic I used a very similar team and got 117008 and my % is falling fast, I was at 3.1 and now at 4.3%. Do you think these will hold up?

NA has already broke past the JP cutoff by a sizable margin so I do not know where the cutoff will land…with that being said, your score may be in danger. Check on the last day

Thank you for the guide, it was hands down awesome. I was push buttoning vulcan with a brachydios but i went and 297+’d it. Now he hits too hard. Currently at 114900 at 8%. So close but i keep getting combos and missinh the time.

Just keep trying more! You only need one lucky run =P

Avalon Drake is the next best option as it comes with the board changer

I’m a little confused at how you can stay at full health at the blue cat. I can get back to full health after getting hit but it seems to not activate the leader skill until the next turn, but he hits every turn.

I have either water resists on a card or the Light Metatron weapon assist evo to grant more RCV. These give you the ability to heal to full hp. Otherwise you are short by a tiny amount

I see, thanks I’ll try that.

You would have to modify your kill board at the end based on your team to prevent your damage being voided out.

You have to use raphael on floor 4 and it will void the preemptive from Hino on floor 5

Has everyone received their prizes? If not, how long is it supposed to take before the prizes are offered?

Not yet, Ranking dungeons usually have their prizes given out ~2 weeks after the final day
