Blue Chest Setups
Blue chests are awarded based on the amount of honors achieved in a raid maxing out at 99% chance at raid specific amount of honors: 403k in the case of Avatar. They contain the most desirable drops in a raid such as the weapon drops. When farming a raid, this is the chest you want to aim for. The typical strategy is to deal the blue chest amount and then moving onto the next raid. Below is a list of strategies on how to effectively and quickly achieve blue chests.
Beginner
These setups are oriented towards beginner players.
Relic Buster 
Relic Buster is the easiest way to achieve a blue chest. Limit Burst

(Consumes all Machine Cell.)
makes it simple to to perform a teamwide charge attack burst. It also supports a wide variety of characters and is very flexible grid wise. Weaker grids and characters may need to press additional buttons to reach the desired damage.

Notes
- Other characters can be subbed out for characters with Unworldly CAs or skill nukes after CA.
- Press additional skills as needed.
- Huanglong
support also works. - Selene (Light)
is the best MH for this for it’s strong CA and not needing to press RB1 on turn 2.
Chrysaor
Chrysaor with Harakhte is an easy way to get MC and the entire party to 100% charge. It is a great option for CA setups thanks to Dual Arts

(Can only be used when an auxiliary weapon is equipped.)
allowing for 5 CAs in one turn.

Advanced
These setups are oriented towards players with stronger grids and characters.
Nehan 
Nehan
is the best buffer in light and is core to every auto based burst team. His skill 3 Nirvana
All other Light allies gain Double Strike (1t).
(Inflict Max HP Lowered (Stackable / Can’t be removed) (30% (90% Max)) on target allies.)
can be used to grant teamwide double strike allowing for a very quick and easy blue chest.
Notes
- MC class is flexible.
- Before M3, will need either GTA characters or to also press Nehan’s skill 2 Six-Wolf Tonic
All other Light allies gain Wolf Tonic (3T).
.
- After if you can reach 100% TA via grid and EMPs, can use passive buffers that provide more impactful upgrades.
- Use Chain of Falsehood if not using H.Mugen.
MVP
MVP chests are awarded to the player with the most honors in a raid as well as a possibility for other top scorers. While they have an additional weapon drop chance, it is advised to not aim for these especially as a a beginner due to the time it takes. However, if the raid is slow, it helps to join as higher damage output team so the raid can die.

Full Auto
Full autoing M2 raids is generally pretty easy once you have a developed M2 grid. Character selection is relatively free. Avatar however has one major hitch in that it’s 10% trigger deals 99,999,999 static dark damage. Using Geisenborger
as backline will cap the 10% trigger to 10k damage making is easy to tank it.
This raid can be skipped removing the need to Full Auto solo it. In order to do so, you need to meet the following prerequisites.
- Solo the raid.
- Deal 30,000,000 damage in 1 turn.
- Fight the raid 100 times to get a new trophy.
The following FA strategies are geared towards players who still need to unlock the skips.
Rising Force
Rising Force
is the easiest early game choice for FA thanks to allies at max Feedback stacks having guts to be able to take the 10% trigger and survive.
Notes
- All characters can be easily replaced by others like Zooey
, Grea (Light)
, Aglovale (Valentine)
, Kumbhira
, Percival (Light)
, or Cosmos
among many others. - Finding a level 250 Lucifer
as support will both make FA safer and faster.
