Summary
Highlights
This guide aims to help players defeat MD7E and hidden bosses with any ID and 60 adversity. It covers strategies for both beginners and advanced players. IDs with Gloom, Attack Weight, Evade, or 2+ Keywords perform best without EGO. Any ID with EGO can solo relatively easily. However, this guide also provides strategies for winning with less optimal IDs and EGOs.
Start with all grace in ++, as Starlight can usually be recovered through adversities. Prioritize EGO gifts corresponding to your ID's main keyword. For beginners in solo runs, specific EGO gifts are recommended for a smooth early game. More experienced players can choose EGO gifts that scale better in the late game.
The order of theme packs is complex as different IDs require different EGO gifts. Floors 3 and 4 are crucial as they offer exclusive theme packs, and you can only choose two. Aim to have at least 90% of your build complete before floor 11. Planning your run beforehand is highly recommended.
General theme pack recommendations are provided, including specific packs for floors 5-10. For status-specific theme packs, suggestions are given for Sinking, Tremor, Rupture, Poise, and Burn. Some of these can also be obtained as starter EGO gifts. Extreme packs, newly released, are strongly recommended for floors 11 or 12 for all IDs. Specific extreme packs are suggested for Bleed, Bloodfiends, Blunt, Charge/T Corp, Tremor and Burn IDs.
Choosing the right trials is difficult. Be cautious with offense level and clash power trials. Damage Taken is considered worse than Coin Power. Defensive trials are generally good, especially for beginners. Tips for specific bosses like Valencina and Callisto are provided, along with general advice such as utilizing Starlight grace, managing shop costs, and battle strategies like focusing on battles and saving resources.
A method for planning routes and deciding initial EGO gifts is outlined, considering whether they are unique to a pack, better options exist, or if there is no space to obtain them later. Notes on floors 3/4 and specific EGO gift recommendations for different experience levels are given, along with a warning against a specific 'horrible' pack.
