Royal Guard

MAX-HP damage + Dec DEF — NEW — replaces He-Man. A2 Takedown hits all enemies for 2 ATK + 10% of each target's MAX HP: flat damage the 50%-MAX-HP-per-turn heal cannot scale away from. A1 60% Dec DEF, A3 hits 4× with 30% Dec SPD and −25% TM per hit. Magic hits strong into the Spirit boss. Ayumilove 5★ Spirit Keep vs He-Man's 3★, and he needs zero books. 6★ BUILT.

Swap — Ayumi Magic Keep 5★. A2 Takedown hits all enemies for 2 ATK + 10% of each target's MAX HP on CD 4 — once the Shield is stripped that is 10% of her health bar per cast, and it clears minions in the same button. A1 has a 50% chance of 60% Dec DEF. Magic body, so neutral into her (no weak hits, no strong hits). Ayumilove does not state that it ignores Shield, so it needs the strip to land first. 6★ BUILT.

Swap — 6★ BUILT — Ayumi Void Keep 5★. A2 Takedown AoEs for 2 ATK + 10% of each target's MAX HP (a third MAX-HP damage stream) and A3 Hamstring hits 4× with 60% chances of 30% Dec SPD and −25% Turn Meter, the best owned tool for pushing Bane out. 35% Ally ATK dungeon aura.

Swap — Ayumi 5★ (6★ BUILT — the premier Epic boss-killer; the AoE damage upgrade over Suzerain once he is 6★.

Burst (purple bar) — IN for Gwyndolin — Paul's call 2026-08-19, seated now rather than waiting on Frozen Banshee's A3 books. 6★ BUILT. A2 Takedown attacks ALL enemies for 2 ATK + 0.1 ENEMY MAX HP (Ayumilove-verified), landing exactly at the Almighty Strength cap so nothing is wasted — the biggest single chunk anyone on this roster puts into the purple-bar damage check — and that MAX-HP half is completely independent of his gear, which is why he performs from the day he is ascended. A1 Razor Blade is a 50% chance of 60% Dec DEF (a chance, not a given; 65% booked). ACCEPTED COST: Frozen Banshee's A3 is unbooked, so her 2-turn Poison Sensitivity sits on a 5-turn cooldown and the engine has a ~3-turn hole that Gwyndolin's per-turn extend-all used to patch; Supreme Kael's unresistible +1 turn to all debuffs (CD 4) is now the only thing stretching it, so book Banshee's A3 to close the gap. His A3 Hamstring is half-dead here (Dec SPD immune, TM cut halved by Almighty Persistence) — leave it off on auto. HH 9/10 Dragon, Ayumi 5★; keep him OUT of hard mode (Ayumi 3★, HH 7/10). HH 9/10 hard-mode Spider is a different dungeon — do not confuse the two.

Swap — The enemy-MAX-HP archetype Ayumilove's Spider guide names by name alongside Coldheart for stages 15–20. A2 Takedown (CD 4) attacks ALL enemies for 2 ATK + 0.1 ENEMY MAX HP — one-shots spiderlings and chunks Skavag in the same cast. A3 hits 4× at random, each hit a 60% chance of 30% Dec SPD and a 60% chance of −25% TM. Aura: +35% Ally ATK in Dungeons. HH 9/10 Spider, 9/10 Spider Hard. Caveat for a burn comp: mass-killing lings removes the bodies that tick the burns — he is the MAX-HP-nuke plan, not an add-on to the burn plan. 6★ BUILT.

Swap — HH 10/10 FK but AYUMILOVE SAYS 3★ and the kit backs Ayumi for the break: A1 is SINGLE-target single-hit — the 4× random hits (60% Dec SPD + 25% TM cut per hit) sit on his A3's 5-turn cooldown, and A2's 10%-of-MAX-HP AoE is real damage once the shield is down. A burst/payload swap, not an A1-cycle breaker. Magic body: strongest on stages 21/25 (Spirit) and the non-Force rotations. Source conflict flagged 2026-07-27.

Swap — HH 7/10 (Ayumi 4★): single-hit A1 carrying 60% Dec DEF (no multi-hit penalty) and an A2 that scales off enemy MAX HP — capped at 10% here, but still clean damage on a boss with a huge pool. His A3 hits 4 times, which eats the −50%-per-subsequent-hit rule for damage, though each hit still rolls 60% Dec SPD and −25% TM. A1/A2 are the money skills. 6★ BUILT.

Swap — Ayumi Minotaur 5★ (6★ BUILT), 35% Ally ATK aura in DUNGEONS. Corrected 2026-07-27: A1 Razor Blade is SINGLE-TARGET (50% chance of 60% Dec DEF) — his wave AoE is A2 Takedown (2 ATK + 10% of each target's MAX HP) on a 4-turn cooldown, not an every-turn sweeper. A3's 4 random hits (60% chance each of 30% Dec SPD and −25% TM) stretch the boss's whole turn cycle; they do not stop the Rage cycle, which is unremovable.

Swap — Ayumilove ★★★★★ / HellHades 7/10 on kit — A2 hits all enemies for 2 ATK + 10% of MAX HP as a single clean hit, A1 60% Dec DEF, A3 4× random with 30% Dec SPD and −25% TM per hit, plus a +35% Ally ATK dungeon aura. Not a fix today: 4★ with no awakening means zero Shade reduction. Target for ascension + souls, not a seat. 4★, un-awakened

Swap — 6★ BUILT. Takedown (CD 4) hits all four heads for 2 ATK + 10% of EACH head's MAX HP — the cleanest multi-head chip on the roster and not Poison, so Blight can't blank it. Caveats: A3 is 4 hits, so hold it vs Wrath (15 hits flips Vengeance), its −25% TM rider is dead on heads, and his 35% ATK aura is Dungeons-only and does not apply in Hydra. 4★. Sources split on him: HH 8/10, Ayumilove 5★.
