Dedicated to Sandman366. If you want the hourly guide, see the next post. This route is designed to get ~12:00~15:00 RBs, but it is currently not the fastest route. (I have completed a 6:53 in SSF with legitimate / feasible gear, but my strategy will remain secret until I do it on my main profile). I will post an alternate guide to those with weaker gear that allows for consistent, hourly RBs. .[If you want to see it in action, click here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvbm29iHfHM) ***UPDATE*** [6:40](https://youtu.be/YyIFyXU-It4) ***UPDATE AGAIN*** [5:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSsl3h6clgg) It is divided into three main sections. Semi-Idling, Secret Arena, and Endless Dungeon. # Equipment and Setup **Things you will need for this route:** 1) ULTRA CGT and ULTRA CHAOS Allies 2) Spirit DS Gear, higher floors is better. 3) Spirit Reincarnation Set (+50 rebirths already). Second reincarnation weapon for robacon. 4) Master SD Boss allies, 20% EXP is too much to miss out on. **Optional / Optimal Equipment** 1) F200 u10, F~180 u20. Strongest gear with best bonuses. F200 u10 / Noobie armor fusion for intermediate stage, if you wish, but it's not that much more effective. (r250 fusion would be best if you have GIGA) 2) 2500 Streak in TH for +50% exp bonus (needs F140 DS anyway) 3) GIGA or MEGA equipments (GIGA is +25% spawn rate better for mediocre gear, but GIGA can get you an extra 4k Equipment Attack. 4) T3 +200% Basic Attack Damage perk (useful early, and in first half of ED). 5) B6 ED bosses, Secret Arena, Secret Beach, Frosty Zone, and Pirate Ship mobs. 6) High level Rage Modules so you don't have to fiddle with Charge / rage depletion oranges 7) Level 200 fighter career for +30% elements bonuses (this is actually kinda huge if you don't have R200-R250 DS to transition into). # Pre-Rebirth Setup R40 does not matter too much, just make sure you have a spirit weapon. Equip EXP ring / CGT Ally. Get Skill build from below into your clipboard. Setup Robacon with your r40 weapon. Make sure you already have an ED entry / 10 SA entries available. # Semi-Idle Phase Rebirth when the clock is xx:26:00. Equip your spirit weapon (gun, most likely), head to Secret Beach, use reward potion. Stay there until r55, then go back to pub and give Robacon other Reincarnation weapon, then head to Pirate Ship. [Here is my build for right at r60](https://pastebin.com/b2LA7bAA) (Made at r500, so ignore that part) Once you hit r70 after about 15 seconds at pirate ship, then head to Frosty Zone. Stay until r95. while you are semi-idling, get SA skillcode copied into your clipboard. # Secret Arena Phase [Here is my build right at r95](https://pastebin.com/0Fp6fwEB) Adjust skills to your current caps. Continue using EXP ring and CGT ally for maximum speed. Use X / C on Arena Bonuses, since you don't have quick attack for this part. After one SA, return to your skills, max Buff Boost (+25% exp from potion), then put 10 points in each status available, then the rest in Coup De Grace. This way, you will do significantly more damage to the arena bonuses, and it actually makes a considerable difference. Add combo reward when you get r155. R180 is an incredibly important milestone here. Rework your stills to max charge (level 41 minimum for 5% rage), max rage depletion (include an orange bonus if you want), max spirit leech if you haven't. Add spirit power as well. At this point, you should have gone through 4-6 SAs, so you're nearing the end of this phase. You want to try to maintain really high spirit and rage so you go into ED with as much damage as possible. This just takes a little bit of practice. # Endless Dungeon Phase [Here is my build right at r220](https://pastebin.com/pyn6nDpU) Your rank here will fluctuate greatly depending on your bestiary levels, exp%, etc, so modify the skill build accordingly. Make sure you have maxed Learner / Combo Reward and Attack, proper spirit attack skills, charge, crescendo. work from there. Equip CHAOS Ally (continue using CGT if you have intermediate DS gear, since you're strong enough to pummel bosses). Enter HC ED. You should have max spirit and max rage. Move into the first room. If it isn't a boss, cast Overkill, and spam left / shift until you find a chest. You will want to only kill the bosses and move on. Keep casting overkill to spam through non-boss rooms, but be careful to not use too much spirit. Some boss fights may need to be spend without X/C to generate more spirit. At r413, which should be after 4-5 floors, equip DS gear, MEGA / GIGA if applicable. If your DS is ~40-~60, equip EMP Gem, otherwise equip GoC for that beloved EXP / Spawn gain. [Here is my setup right at r413.](https://pastebin.com/z43s45zw) I didn't bother changing the bonuses for my armor, so use your best judgement. Continue with the same strategy until r500, which should be floors 9-11 depending on gear. Congrats, you did it! # Endnotes / Miscellaneous tidbits 1) I did not have my skin equipped for any of the pastebins, but just use any old R50 skin with EXP / Attack or Mastery / Attack Power, u5, etc. 2) If you are using Reincarnation set until r413 and you don't have level 200 fighter career, consider using one light element and one water element green bonus on reincarnation set for extra damage. Obviously, the main focus is highest EXP% / kill rate, but sacrificiing 26% exp for extra damage may be worth it. 3) In the video above, I had B4 Secret Beach, B3 Pirate Ship, B4 Secret Arena, and B3-5 ED Boss monsters. f180 DS, no GIGA, no intermediate set, CHAOS instead of CGT, etc. Assuming you have adequate mechanical proficiency with a mouse / keyboard, that record is easily beatable. However, I'm going to post another video of my newer secret strategy once I get the gear for it legitimately. # Q / A **Q:** What should I do if I don't have ULTRA CGT / CHAOS? **A:** Alternative builds: Triangle Ally / Encounter Ring, FGM / EXP ring, Visage of Rage (easy to ultra compared to CHAOS. If you can't get any of those, I'm not sure you can complete anything else required for these builds. **Q:** What do I do if I don't have 50 Rebirths? **A:** Come back when you do. Alternatively, use my Hourly Rebirthing Guide that will be posted below eventually (not legally binding). **Q:** What do I do if I die in Endless Dungeon? **A:** Cry, blame Tukkun, blame the triangles. **Q:** Is X more important than Y? **A:** Try both. This route takes a bit of practice to get good times. **Q:** What do I do if I can't survive HC ED? **A:** Try C ED, but don't expect times better than 17:00. Odds are you won't get better than 23:00 if you can't survive HC ED.

# Hourly Rebirth Guide This is being delivered, as promised. But it's much later than I intended. Work and life get in the way sometimes... This route is designed to be completed in less than an hour, and is repeatable multiple times a day if you have enough Proof of Mission / Day Skips. It is divided into five main sections: Semi-Idle Phase, Secret Arena Phase, Corruption Phase, Secret Dungeon Phase, and last, but certainly not least, Endless Dungeon Phase. I will not be doing build pastes for this guide, as I have deleted most of my relevant gear for it. If you are this far in the game, you should have significantly decent judgement and flexibility to operate competently on your own. # Equipment and Setup **Things you will need for this route:** 0) +10 Rebirths. Without the huge EXP bonuses, you most likely won't be able to do this hourly. 1) Armor for multiple stages: R40, R90, R200+, at least level 35 DS armor. If you have higher floor DS, even better. 2) Weapons for multiple stages: R40, R90+, R200+, DrS Axe. Make sure Robacon has good weaponry as well. 3) Accessories for multiple stages. R40 Immortal Pendant works well, then u10 Gold / Plat pendants to follow. Rank based medals u10 work well for EXP gains. Empowering Gem is the bare minimum, GoC is better if your gear is finalized. Examples: The armors I used before Reincarnation set are Stripper Nurse / Leather, Spirit / Elite, **Crimson / Knightmare (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)**, u25 CHAOS, and DrS / DS armor. The weapons I used before Reincarnation set are Fire Gun, R100 Golden Gun, **R213 Crimson Bow (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)**, AURA, DrS Axe. For accessories, I had Dark Pyramid Earrings that were pretty high (+12? I don't remember). **Optional / Optimal Equipment** 1) CHAOS / AURA. U17-25 Would be optimal, but not many people are at this stage, so not extremely necessary. 2) MEGA pendant / earrings. I'm not sure how doable these are without high floor DS. 3) Reincarnation Gear works really well for the vast majority of the route, if you have +50 RBs but are looking for something casually quick. 4) If somehow you have GIGA gear and you need this guide, use it. That's a no-brainer. 5) Rage Module would provide a significant damage boost throughout the whole RB. **Recommended Miscellaneous Things** 1) Master the Allies for the major bosses in this route: Megaboss, Corruption bosses, SD Bosses. The more you have mastered, the better, but the bosses are a significant part of the route. 2) +10 or ULTRA Triangle, CHAOS, or CGT. CGT is best, but use whatever provides the best EXP / time gains. ** For how to optimally use rings / allies, see the end of the guide. Each phase will be described in detail. # Semi-Idle Phase You should begin your rebirth with enough time to Finish 10-20 Secret Arenas by 17:59/ I recommend rebirthing when the clock says xx:05:00. This should give enough time, but adjust as needed. Turn Hardcore Mode on. If you have reincarnation set, see above guide on this section. Otherwise, equip your R40 Gear, and head to Secret Beach. You can either stay there until r70, then hit up Frosty Zone, or head to Pirate ship at r55. (If your gear is good enough to instakill everything, do Pirate Ship), then FZ at r70. You will stay in Frosty Zone until you are able to use your ~R90 Gear, whatever rank that may be. # Special Arena Phase This phase can be difficult if your gear is poor, so use your best judgement. You may need to do a couple of SA runs on Casual difficulty, that's fine. Ultimately, your goal rank is r213 for crimson / knightmare set, but if you can get a bit higher cheaply, great. You should know how to beat Special Arena at this point, so there's not much to say here in terms of tactics. Maximize EXP gain skills when possible, but ensure you won't die. Wasted SA entries are gross. # Corruption Phase If you have 500/500 CB / CR / KM set, you *should* be able to do HC corruption. Do a reset if needed, but you may be able to survive the first monster adequately enough, and stat readjustments will take over. This is where you hold the same key for 10 minutes straight. Make sure you have combo reward and learner maxed, or you're missing out on a basically free +150% exp bonus. If you have CHAOS / AURA, equip it once you hit r318, then carry on. You should leave this raid after you hit r318 if you have CHAOS, or at xx:25:00. You need a few minutes to do Secret Dungeon before Endless Dungeon. # Endless Dungeon Phase Make sure to allocate your skill points before starting this phase. If you have CHAOS / AURA, Equip that and run into HC SD. Your end goal is the rank you need for DrS (343? 368? I don't remember), but, again, higher is better. If you need to start out doing a couple of Casual runs, go ahead. You need to beat SD relatively quickly, like at a rate of 1 per 90 seconds. or 1 per 60 seconds on casual. Kill the bosses, grab all the chests, and kill CHAOS, then leave. You need to be relatively speedy as well, since you're on a slight time constraint. Once you hit r350, it should be time for Endless Dungeon. # Endless Dungeon Phase This time around, entering on casual mode is recommended. It's not that much of a race anymore. Equip your DrS / Axe / Accessories, then head in. Kill all bosses, then proceed. Considering you are starting at a higher rank, you should not need more than 20 floors, assuming you have an adequately high EXP%. I recommend Spirit here, since it's just what I know. Mana works well with DrS Axe, since Threaten is pretty strong, but otherwise there's not much to say here. For Skills, Max Combo power, combo reward, buff boost, HDC, Rage Attack, etc. Make sure to equip the appropriate trinket when you hit R400. # Rings, Allies, and Difficulty Settings If you can fly through these phases with no problem at all in terms of damage and survivability, use ULTRA CGT / EXP during the whole route. Otherwise: 1) **Semi-Idle Phase [H]**: You should be optimizing EXP / Spawn ratio. EXP Ring with some high spawn % ally will work well (ULTRA Princesses are alright here). 2) **Special Arena Phase [C -> H]**: If you need it, Creulty ring is good for the first SA. CHAOS is another good ally for high EXP / Boss damage if you're not looking to be super quick. Otherwise, once you are strong enough, use EXP ring 3) **Corruption Phase [H]**: Again, you're optimizing Spawn / EXP. Considering most of your gear will have EXP%, try for high spawn rate, like ULTRA Princesses if you can. 4) **Secret Dungeon Phase[ C -> H]**: Cruelty is suggested if you have a little trouble damage-wise, since speed is important here. CHAOS is recommended as well. EXP if you can, of course. 5) **Endless Dungeon Phase [C]**: EXP / CHAOS is probably the best combination. If you somehow actually have trouble surviving ED, use a defensive ring. # Endnotes / Miscellaneous tidbits I apologize again for the lack of builds, but I deleted everything once I hit +100. I can do this route in 40 minutes casually, but I did not start learning this until I had reincarnation set already. I think doing it in 55 minutes without Reincarnation set is doable. This route is also good for once a day RBs for those who do not have a significant amount of time to play / idle them. # Q / A **Q: [Insert random question here]** **A:** Seek me in Room #2. I am usually available 17:00-21:00 GMT-5. I don't feel like doing an actual Q/A for this post. Sorry.

And by "dedicated to" he means "written up so he can ~~steal~~ use for when he *finally* gets around to rebirths". (Heh.) Yay, thanks! DS/Newbie seems like such a hilarious suggestion. Shame high u10/20 DS is probably just for those who already finished their rebirths, but I suppose if anyone wants to go for best times they could do that. (Or if you're just good enough to get them anyway.)

1/5 I didnt see GC/BS at all..

plausible and bi-curious

Uhm, crazy. I'm impressed. (Also saved me time to re-make the RB guide lol)

For the "1 hour RB" what specifically are the requirements on Armor? *Edit: I Mean at rank 363 when you enter casual ED.
