Sleep applier (lynchpin — the whole fight gates on this) — IN for Maeve (audit 2026-08-19, re-validated 2026-08-25) — and not 'once he is 6★': he is a RARE at 3★ where Maeve is an EPIC at 4★, so he is the cheaper finish as well as the better champion. A2 Strangle is a single-target, SINGLE-HIT, no-chance-roll [Sleep] for 2 turns on a 3-turn cooldown (2 booked), conditional only on the target carrying no active buffs — and Ayumilove's boss guide confirms Al-Naemeh never buffs himself, so the condition always holds. Only ACC gates it, which is why he already functions at low-to-mid stages unbuilt, with Lightsworn's Revive on Death covering his fragility. HH 10/10 and Ayumi 5★ for Sand Devil while rated poorly almost everywhere else — a pure specialist. AFFINITY CAVEAT: he is Magic and stages 21 and 25 are Force, so he takes weak hits exactly where the Slumber budget is tightest (8) — HellHades' own Sleep article flags the same problem.

Swap — SEATED as of 2026-08-19, re-validated 2026-08-25 — see the slot note. Still needs the ascension (3★, cheap Rare food) and ACC gear to hold the seat at stages 16-25.
