For fastest runs, Team 1 should consist of Silent Salt, Dark Choco, Charcoal Cookie, Pavlova, and Cream Ferret. This composition leverages Silent Salt's game-breaking abilities while providing consistent DPS and support.
Team 1 Breakdown:
Team 2 should feature Creme Brulee, Kouign Aman, Mint Choco, Star Coral, and Marshmallow Bunny. This team focuses on sustaining your damage output and providing critical buffs during phase transitions.
Team 2 Breakdown:
Don't have Silent Salt? The Seafairy plus Creme Brulee plus cooldown supports setup is currently the best option for players without Silent Salt. Here's how to make it work:
No Silent Salt Meta Team:
If you don't have Seafairy, you can swap in Hollyberry, Fire Spirit, or Eternal Sugar as alternatives. The key is maintaining high skill frequency through cooldown reduction while ensuring Creme Brulee maximizes damage resistance bypass.
The Spectral Warmaster has high HP and damage resistance, making DPS cookies with damage resist bypass essential. This substat is NON-NEGOTIABLE for Expert mode success. Focus on:
Prioritize cookies with cooldown reduction to use skills more often, and make sure Pavlova and Silent Salt are positioned to maximize damage boosts. Swift Chocolate toppings should be your go-to choice for most cookies in your lineup.
Optimal Cooldown Distribution:
Use Creme Brulee's sword skill in phase two when the boss is stunned for maximum damage. Timing is everything in Expert mode:
Silent Salt Cookie can benefit from either a steel or dark beascuit, and chocolates work best for toppings to lower his cooldown for quick, devastating silence.
Recommended Build:
Your secondary DPS needs entirely different stats:
Recommended Build:
For Mint Choco, Star Coral, and Pavlova:
Standard Support Build:
Minimum Treasure level is set to Level 12, and The Guardian's Protection tactical skill is available with 4x stacks (3x for Master difficulty).
Recommended Treasure Lineup:
Alternative treasures if you don't have these maxed:
Players can switch between teams during battle with a 20-second cooldown. Master this mechanic:
The tombstone minions make regular soldiers invincible. When the boss summons "Tombstone of Wraiths," you need to break it to make soldiers vulnerable again.
Minion Priority:
The Storm of Oblivion and Onslaught of Oblivion mechanics require precise timing:
| Difficulty | HP | Special Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 15,255,450 | Basic mechanics |
| Normal | 55,100,640 | Increased damage |
| Hard | 149,337,000 | Advanced mechanics |
| Expert | 382,254,400 | Full mechanics, requires DR bypass |
| Master | Higher | Enhanced mechanics |
| Challenge | Highest | Maximum difficulty |

Use the Sea Fairy Cookie alternative team with Creme Brulee, Mint Choco, Pavlova, and Star Coral. Focus on cooldown reduction and damage resistance bypass. While it's more challenging, proper timing and mechanics mastery can still achieve S+ rank.
Always use 5x Swift Chocolate toppings prioritizing cooldown reduction, then attack%. For beascuits, choose Legendary Crispy Beascuit with Steel or Dark element. Substats should focus on Attack, Elemental Attack, Damage Resistance Bypass, and Cooldown.

To earn S+ rank, you need to complete the raid quickly with high damage output, proper mechanics execution, and minimal team losses. Focus on optimal team composition, perfect timing, and avoiding unnecessary damage.
Yes! Charcoal Cookie has perfect synergy with Silent Salt Cookie and receives significant buffs in this raid (CRIT DMG +250%, ATK +60%, CRIT% +40%). He's essential for the meta team composition.
