Example Grids

OTK

Ereshkigal

Dark’s 150 GM gold moon weapon Ereshkigal provides 30% normal amp, 20% normal cap, and 100% starting charge on MC. Its CA then grants Double Strike Attacks twice each turn to the following party members. Cidala (Valentine) is strong enough with even pre-Executioner dark grid strength to be able to be the only character you need. If you have a weaker grid, you can add more characters.

The other big OTK unit is Sariel as he starts with Guarenteed Triple Attacks Guaranteed triple attack regardless of Triple Attack Lowered debuffs and Triple Strike Attacks 3 times each turn as well as dealing a large skill nuke on normal attacks. With him, you don’t even need Eresh. The best option is Soldier with a single SUBHL bullet to guarantee a single attack for low lockout.

Burst

Ereshkigal

Dark’s primary burst strategy is to use its 150 GM gold moon weapon Ereshkigal for the 30% normal amp, 20% normal cap, and 3 turns of MC charge attacks resulting in teamwide double strike.

The setup leans heavily into normal attack damage. The best way to go about this is with the bonus damage from Causality Driver, the normal amp and normal supp from Executioner, and the supplemental damage and cap up from Pain and Suffering. The remaining slot goes to an MA Fallen Sword to provide raw damage as many dark teams are low on teamwide buffs as well as TA for Cidala (Valentine).

First up is a shorter example. This will be pretty similar overall to a burst grid. Like with them, focus on your normal attack output stacking the bonus damage from [[[w|casuality-driver]]], the normal amp and supp from Executioner, and the cap up and supp from Pain and Suffering.

Ereshkigal

Another short burst option is using [[[w|erehikigal]]]. Grid wise its similar to the other. The biggest difference between the two is Eresh can go for a lot longer thanks to the three turns of teamwide Double Strike Attacks twice each turn provided by Eresh. This can then be extended for a fourth turn with Splitting Spirit Convert caster’s HP to charge bar (3% charge bar for every 250 HP consumed, up to 100% charge bar).
(Consumes up to 50% of current HP.) .

Manadiver

Next up is a medium length FA using Manadiver. Here, we want to focus a lot more on skill damage output to make the most of Manadiver’s nukes. Skeletal Eclipse is best skill damage boost. Below we also use a Daodao Fu to trade some skill cap for a lot of defense.

Mainhand wise the best pick is the 150 GM Zosimos which both deals lots of additional skill damage while providing strong buffs to the team. The second best choce is Parazonium due to the teamwide bonus damage on CA.

Lastly, for a high defense setup for long, hard hitting raids using Boogeyman. Here we need more defense and HP. This primarily comes from Eternal Signature and a DEF awakened Lux in Tenebris. The setup also has a lot of CAs so a CA awakened Unheil is great for making the most of them.

Hard Content

When it comes to Dark Rapture Zero, the fastest method Hades has available is Manadiver with Zosimos as mainhand. Grid wise it seeks to both maximize damage and reduce incoming damage. Majestas provides medium Garrison and medium Majesty which winds up as the best defensive slot for dark. Because dark is relying on Garrison, it will be at lower HP values which makes running an enmity weapon slot valuable. This will often be Sunya or Tahar Masala.
