Are you ready to take on the challenges of the Royal Capital Azmakalis in Epic Seven? In this beginner guide, we will cover everything you need to know about this recently revamped raid. From the basic rules to boss strategies and recommended party compositions, we’ve got you covered. So let’s dive in and conquer the labyrinth!

The Revamped Royal Capital Azmakalis

The Royal Capital Azmakalis, previously known as “normal raid,” has undergone significant changes. One of the major changes is that it is now a one-time clear instead of a weekly reset. By clearing it once, you can obtain ancient coins and Queen’s Guard badges. The rewards have also been increased from level 67 to level 80, making it more rewarding for new and returning players.

Please note that the portal to the logistics officer, who offers coronation souvenirs, will be phased out eventually. So make sure to exchange your currency before she leaves forever. Additionally, if you want to check out the merchants in Astmakalis or explore other areas such as the normal Labyrinth, you can do so without consuming compasses or bug charms. However, keep in mind that killing mobs and bosses will only count if you use the portal to exit.

Recommended Party Composition

For the Royal Capital Astmakalis, I recommend using the following team composition for most bosses, including the cycle mode:

  • Tank: Angelica (provides backup healing and cleansing)
  • Single Target: Commander Lorena (heavy single-target damage)
  • Area of Effect: Mercedes, Fire Mercedes (hits multiple and stealth targets)
  • Main Healer and Cleanser: Montmorency (main cleanser and healer)

All of these units are either free or available through connections, making them accessible to all players. However, feel free to swap out units depending on your preferences or if you have better alternatives. Some other units you can consider are DN or Tamarin for better soldiers, Arbiter Vildred for Mystic connections, or Clarissa for defense breaks for single-target damage. Luna and Specter Tenebria are also great options for single-target damage and area of effect damage, respectively.

Boss Strategies

In the Royal Capital Astmakalis, you will encounter different bosses with varying difficulties. The strategy for the one clear version and the normal cycle version is largely the same for all bosses, with increased health and damage. Here are some key strategies for each boss:

  1. Devour Aricon: Kill the accompanying mobs first, then focus on Aricon. Stay alive through healing and cleansing.

  2. Executioner Carcanus: He hits harder and periodically stealths himself. Bring units with area of effect attacks to reveal him from stealth and aim to kill him quickly.

  3. Secretary Vera: She is accompanied by eggs that hatch into adds. Use units with area of effect attacks to clear them while continually damaging Vera.

  4. Jew Leaf Council: The boss will poison your units and split into multiple clones. Bring cleansing to remove the poison and hit every clone until you find the real one.

  5. Queen Azamashik: She combines elements from previous bosses, accompanied by eggs and adds. Focus on healing, cleansing, and managing the adds while grinding her down.

Please note that the nightmare mode has a completely different strategy and is not covered in this beginner guide. However, it is something to strive for in the endgame, as the rewards are highly desirable.

The Labyrinth Shop

As you progress through the Royal Capital Astmakalis, you will earn resources that can be used in the Labyrinth shop. Here are some key items you can obtain:

  • Malicious Bug Charms: Used to enter the cycle of Astmakalis. Recommended for progression purposes.

  • Labyrinth Compasses: Can be obtained for free through Sky Stones, but it’s not advisable to purchase them unless you have extra Sky Stones to spare.

  • Accessory Charms: These are essential for upgrading your gear and can be obtained using ancient coins. I recommend focusing on acquiring charms rather than accessory chests, as lower-level gear becomes quickly outdated.

Preparing for Nightmare Mode

Although this guide focuses on beginner strategies, it’s important to start preparing for the nightmare mode. The endgame rewards in this mode are highly desirable, such as level 88 gear with great sets. Consider building teams with defense breaks and dispels, as these mechanics become crucial in the harder versions. Additionally, artifacts like Iela Violin from the Hall of Trials shop can be useful for dispels.

By following these strategies and building a well-rounded team, you’ll be able to conquer the Royal Capital Astmakalis and progress towards the nightmare mode. Remember to stock up on charms from the Labyrinth shop and continuously upgrade your gear. Good luck on your epic adventure in Epic Seven’s Labyrinth Raid!
