This boss has the following passive skills:
- Permanent 70% damage cut
- Caps damage taken at 1 million
- Removes the CT reduction buff of anyone that casts a damaging skill
- Cleans all ailment and debuffs on self every 25 rush count
- Recover from stun every 10 rush count
- Casts a 40-hit barrier when HP goes down to 90%
- Reflects 1% of damage taken when stun gauge is 5 or lower
- Nullifies all knockbacks and force-movement when stun gauge is 5 or lower
She will start using her EX2 on 70% HP, which can wipe buffs from your team.

As you can see, this boss (and every floor beyond the 10th, for that matter) has an anti-koharuko passive skill, but it doesn't really matter because it only triggers when the unit casts a damaging skill, so everyone other than Claudia in this team still enjoys the full CT reduction exploit. Also, I don't know if they patched it or I was just simply mistaken last time, but knockbacks from attacks are now counted per attack as opposed to at the end of an attack chain. That means if the enemy's stun gauge is 10, and your team does a no-skill 4 unit unison, every attack other than the unison attack will cause knockback. This allows you to actually knock the enemy back, unlike the previous Shadow Magdalena fight on the 10th floor.

This team employs practically the exact same strategy I used in the 10th floor fight. Stack Koharuko's EX2, use Setsuna's EX1 and Ria or Luriel's EX2 to pull Claudia back to front, use any of Claudia's skill, and repeat until the enemy dies. Don't worry about getting hit early on, Setsuna's heal is bullshit enough that you'll outheal the damage very easily. Her EX1 only deals damage and inflicts burn, it doesn't disrupt you at all. Her EX2, though, WILL ruin your run so don't let her act once she's below 70% HP.
The boss has quite the tough barrier on 90% HP, so save up Claudia's EX2+ until the barrier goes up.

This boss is way easier than the 10th floor due to the knockback changes and no bullshit 100%-damage-reduction-unless-certain-units-are-stunned gimmick. Sister units don't really matter much until they're leveled (though it varies per unit), but if you haven't bought any yet then either go for Mahamut or Namiel. They might end up saving you in a pinch.


For some reason, Shadow Almotahel here has the same voicelines as the raid version of Almotahel more than half a year ago. Hearing Gehenna Requiem again makes me feel so nostalgic. That was my first ever event. I was so new I haven't even thought of recording things for fun. Brings back memories of getting hammered by Almotahel Inferno.

Yomi best girl.
