With the advent of Academy Tokugawa and Academy Ina, a new, powerful MD3 team has entered the fray. By taking advantage of non-transforming leaders, this team mitigates the danger of stalling to transform Atori or Raphine. Additionally, it takes advantage of high eHP and ease of stalling to make TF Yurisha and Seina manageable. While the team is relatively safe with copious amounts of movetime and high durability, it suffers from a tedious and slow playstyle that is highly contingent on cheesing Raphine’s spinner and matching precise boards for clean one shots. Though the sub slots are highly inflexible, most of these equips can be easily substituted. Whether you’re looking for safe MD3 clears or a simple one-and-done, this build will do the job.
Build Notes
Build assumes rainbow solves with dark bricks unless otherwise noted. Additional notes indicate extensions of rainbow solves except for F3 and F4. Lead with Baran for a 7×6 board. Stall for Tokugawa as needed. Stalling without a dark brick requires 10-11 connected dark orbs. System Raphine and HChakeol after F6 and F7 respectively. Certain floor sequences must be followed precisely to maintain systems for orb generation while countering debuffs.

Floor Guide
Use Bonta-Kun and transform Raphine T1. Match a minimum of 10 connected dark orbs and 10 combos over 2T to kill.
Use Okuninushi to clear the potential awoken bind and avoid Saitama overcharge. Use Tsukuyomi to create a long term time buff. Kill over 2T.
Use Ultraseven to buy time for debuff clears. Match 2 red or dark crosses, a light or dark TPA, and a light or dark L. Kill over 3T, with the first turn spent clearing debuffs.
Stall 2T, matching 10-11 dark orbs without 10c. Use Kiyosumi and Tokugawa. Bring the Phoenix to super resolve in 1T. Transform Raphine. Stall 2T, then use Raphine again. Stall 1T, then kill all spawns.
Use Tokugawa and one shot with rainbow activation.
Use Raphine T1 to begin system and overwrite Horus’ debuff if he appears. Use Okuninushi if Ra appears. One shot with rainbow activation.
If Ruel spawns, use HChakeol to unlock. Stall 1T for Tokugawa. Use Tokugawa and kill by matching a light TPA or an additional dark combo.
If Rozuel spawns, use HChakeol and kill by matching a light TPA or an additional dark combo.
If Famiel spawns, use HChakeol, stall 1T for Tokugawa. Use Tokugawa and kill by matching an additional dark combo.

If Sarasvati spawns, use Okuninushi and kill by matching 2 light TPAs, and an additional dark combo. Either one light TPA or the additional dark combo must be substituted with an L of the corresponding color.
If Astaroth spawns, bring her to super resolve. Be cautious of bringing her to super resolve when you have 1T spinners as this will render her puzzle impossible. Clear her puzzle by spinning away the poisons in the two leftmost and two rightmost columns. Leave the connected poisons in place to match.

If Amon spawns, shield T1. Chip him T2 with minimal activation, then kill on T3.
If Seina spawns, ensure you heal to full while she is enraged. Use Tokugawa T1 to chip, then use Ina T2, Raphine T3, and Ina T4. She should be killable in one shot after her void shield lowers.
