Combat stats use the screenshot’s level, STR, MAG and VIT with the base stat formulas. Enemy skill bonuses are not included. HP is the recorded maximum.

Recommended demons

Follow the selected challenge’s roster/archetype rules. Special bonuses require the matching Underside skill, not merely the same demon name. Break or remove Black Maria’s Bulwark every turn, then kill her. Bulwark Pierce alone does not break the shield.

Earlier recommended alternatives

Madoka KanameBanner exclusive

Banner: repeated shield removal

Her about-to-act chain removes enemy Bulwarks up to twice per turn, helping disable Black Maria’s shield-dependent revenge before damage carries act.

Needs: Time removal after enemy shields appear; use a carry of the area’s required element. Banner option for unrestricted clears only; not legal for a fusible-only or 4★-only challenge.

Watch for: Her Light damage is not a Fire/Force carry. Removing the shield, rather than bypassing it, is the reason to use her.

Earlier recommended alternatives

ScathachAlternative

Area-specific remover

The matching Underside skill removes enemy Bulwarks after an ally uses Force once per battle. Time it after the shields appear.

Earlier recommended alternatives

BaalAlternative

Fusible damage

Use a non-Bulwark-piercing Force attack to break the shield on later turns; offensive brands and MP sustain matter.

Earlier recommended alternatives

Jack FrostAlternative

Special-skill alternative

Requires Jack Frost (Underside) and a matching Force transfer. Do not confuse the special skill’s support with the ordinary summonable kit.

Kit-based options; tested clears remain in the guide’s team section.

Explanation

• At the start of the player turn, Black Maria applies a 5% Bulwark to herself, and Odin applies an 8% Bulwark to the entire enemy team.
• If Black Maria still has a Bulwark when your turn ends, she will hit your party with 50% Fractional Damage based on current HP. After that, she will remove Revive Ban from her entire team and revive them at full health.
  • For every turn she is alive, the fractional damage will ramp up to use max HP instead, increase from 50% to 75%, and increase its damage cap to 5,000 and then 10,000 HP.
• Black Maria's attacks are Almighty-based. Deathtouch heals her, while Sea of Chaos applies a 3-turn DEF Debuff to your party.
• The left Berserker can sometimes apply Mute with Dark Sword.
• Hellbound: Almighty will apply 5 stacks of Spirit Chains of Suppression to you.
• If you fail to kill the adds by the start of their second turn, they will hit you with a bulwark-piercing, 100%-crit enrage AoE. Black Maria will do one too, if she isn't dead by her third turn.

Scathach (Underside) effect overview

• Self gets 50% HP, 180% Force damage, 20% accuracy, 3 MP discount for Force skills, and immunity to Spirit Chains of Suppression.
• The team gets 40% Force damage and 40% accuracy.
• If any team member uses a Force skill, Scathach removes all of the enemy team's Bulwarks (once per battle).

Colors

• Clear for the fusibles ruleset. The other colors don't offer anything useful for a Force build.

Skill Transfer

• Skill priority from greatest to least damage is: Wind Slash (Underside) > Killing Wind (Underside) > Wind Slash > (any magic-based attack).

Brands

• PATK% War, if using a strength-based attack (such as Wind Slash)
• MATK% Spell, if using a magic-based attack.
• Due to her MP discount, Divine's MP regen is probably not necessary.

Misc notes

• The Bulwark removal effect only works once per battle, meaning you can't rely on it in turn 2 onwards.
• Warning: Force chain effects with the "start of battle" or "start of your turn" timing (see turn order) will activate before the enemy Bulwarks are up, causing Scathach's Bulwark removal effect to be wasted. This causes anti-synergy with Harpy.

Jack Frost (Underside) effect overview

• Self gets Concentrate (2.25x damage) on his first action - this is about 63% damage on average across his 2 actions on the first turn. Also gets 50% HP and immunity to Spirit Chains of Suppression.

Colors

• (Any)

Skill Transfer

• Use Zandyne.
• Jack Frost does not have any MP discounts, so 7 MP skills such as Killing Wind may be too expensive to cast repeatedly.
  • Killing Wind (Underside) starts at 7 MP, then becomes 6 MP at max level. This is the best skill he can use, but the cost of maxing it is very high.

Brands

• MATK% Spell or Divine.

Misc notes

• If using Killing Wind (Underside), then Concentrate only affects the initial hit, not the AoE chain.
• Consider transcending him for skill switches, as that lets him easily swap builds between multiple areas.

• Susano-o: 235 strength, has Assassin, Purple has Merciless Blow, p1 has 15% damage, p3 has 25% damage, p4 has 25% damage. Kusanagi is 200 power single-target, and applies ATK Buff.

• Oberon: 216 magic, has Force Boost, p3 has 10% damage. Zandyne (160 power single-target).

Other options worth considering:

• Anubis: 217 magic, Purple has Merciless Blow. Transfer Zandyne + Force Boost.

Cu Chulainn A Skills Serial Killer Force Boost Brands PATK% Divine or War Requirements -

Tsukuyomi Skills Resist Phys Force Boost Brands MATK% Divine or Spell Requirements -

Isis Skills Force Boost Assassin Brands MATK% Divine or Spell Requirements -

Team notes:

• Garuda innately has Auto-Rakunda to apply DEF Debuff. We have Auto-Taruka transferred to apply ATK Buff as well, providing a full buff swing.
• Cu Chulainn A's Barbed Spear pierces Bulwarks, which is unfortunate, as it cannot help break Maria's Bulwark. However, he still deals good damage to push for a kill.
  • Transferring Wind Slash is an option, since it does not pierce Bulwarks.
  • His color does not really matter.
• Cu Chulainn: 190 magic, P1 has 20% damage, P3 has 20% damage, P4 has 25% damage. Mazandyne (120 power AoE).
• Tsukuyomi is weak to Phys, so he has Resist Phys transferred to cover it.
  • Damage-wise, he prefers using max-level Zanma plus a damage booster, over using Zandyne with no damage booster. Zanma can be leveled cheaply using 3★ fodder.
  • His color does not really matter, unless you specifically need more HP from Purple.

Other options worth considering:

• Inanna: Good Force damage, but her unique skills pierce Bulwarks. Mother Goddess's Fury can apply ATK Debuff and DEF Debuff to the enemy, while Red's Four Raging Calamities can apply ATK Buff and DEF Buff to your team.
• Hariti: Good Force damage, but her unique skill Discipline pierces Bulwarks. That said, the skill also provides some MP and healing to the team whenever she casts it.
• Garuda A: Good Force damage, but Gale Talon pierces Bulwarks.
• Cybele: 202 mag and Merciless Blow. Will need a Force transfer, though. Note that her panels only affect Fire damage, so you can build a p0 copy for this (or, you can transcend an existing copy for skill switches).
• Kurama Tengu: 134 mag. Zanma (140 power single).
