Purgatory Of Seven Sins
Introduction
The Purgatory Of Seven Sins is a dungeon with two parts, the Purgatory Exploration and Ultimate Trial.
The Purgatory Exploration consists of six different bosses with up to 40 stages, where each stage has increased difficulty. Challenging any stage consumes no stamina and has no limit. While challenging the Bosses within the Purgatory Exploration stars are gained for each completed stage, unlocking various rewards based on acquired amount of stars. Besides these one-time rewards, additional rewards can be claimed with the use of Exploration Key (one gained every 24 hours, up to 3 stored).
The Ultimate Trial consists of a weekly challenge against the boss Lucifer. The challenge uses three teams to fight the boss in a consecutive battle, limiting the options of optimizing throughtout the battle. Rewards are based of total damage dealt and the total amount of stars acquired through Exploration.
Rules
Purgatory Exploration
- Using heroes and/or pets for challenging bosses in the Exploration ‘locks’ the team for that specific boss. These heroes or pets cannot be used against other bosses. The lock resets when the dungeon is refreshed (every monday).
- The stages of bosses are divided in four different difficulties, with 10 stages per difficulty. Clearing the last stage of a difficulty opens up the next difficulty.
- When a higher stage is completed, the previous uncleared stages are also considered as ‘completed’, gaining rewards for all these stages.
Bosses And Team Recommendations
Purgatory Exploration
The six bosses within exploration are:
- Lust – Poison
- Gluttony – Internal Damage
- Greed – Bleed
- Sloth – HP Burn
- Wrath – Direct Damage
- Envy – Burn
Each boss has different skills, althought all of them have nearly the same mechanics. Bosses on stages 21 and above have increased difficulty due to two factors;
- Damage immunity to most sources, except the featured damage
- If boss does not have [Severe Wound] or [Inferior Severe Wound], restores 50% hp HP for all allies on casting his last skill
- High damage on second skill when team doesn’t have the amount of required buffs
Tips and Tricks
- Heroes with severe wound are required after 20 even though they’re not popular in anywhere else (guhanna, deschanel, fiona in general and hisaro on bleed boss etc.).
- Using CC (like freeze, stun etc) to hold the adds of the boss attacking and applying their debuffs.
- Take care of heroes which has extra turns within their kit. For these heroes it is harder to manage having enough for buffs to keep the boss from doing extra damage (skill 2).
- Pets can be crucial for applying extra shields or healing.
- Above 21 all bosses have highly increased diffculty. Clearing floor 20 for each boss at first is the fastest progression.
Ultimate Trial
The ultimate trial can be challenged once every week. The challenge requires three teams at once, where the total DMG is based on all damage dealt. The maximum amount of turns for the whole fight is 600 turns and up to 10 boss turns per team. When the whole team dies through boss damage or slaying effect (after 10 boss turns), the next team will deploy immediately. As all teams are deployed in the same battle, hero setups, like gear or echoes, are set before entering. Like some other bosses (Wuthering Coast) the boss cannot die. When taking fatal damage the boss HP will be replenished while gaining increased stats.
Tips and Tricks
- The boss can be challenged when all six bosses of exploration are fought atleast once (lifetime, not weekly).
- The boss is immune to [Speed down] or turn meter manipulation. Optimize your team with [Speed up] and skills that increase turn meter of allies to optimize the number of turns.
- In the end the total damage dealt matters. Focus on one or two teams rather then distributing your strongest heroes across three teams.
- Use the ‘Test’! Configure and test out different teams and figure out which combination of your heroes deals the most damage.
- Current rankings of damage dealt are available. Use this to your advantage and compare your teams and pool of heroes to teams from others.
Earnings
Purgatory Exploration
The rewards of Exploration are divided in first-time rewards and ‘daily’ rewards.
When clearing stages, you gain a one time-reward based on the stage and a star for each stage cleared. Additional rewards are gained based on the total amount of stars acquired. Total acquired stars and possible rewards are shown in the main screen of Purgatory.
Every day an exploration key is gained (one gained every 24 hours). Rewards are based of total acquired stars and can be claimed at any time using a key. Take note that up to 3 keys can be stored.
Ultimate Trial
The rewards for the Ultimate Trial are based of the amount of damage dealt and the total amount of exploration stars acquired. The rewards consist of spirit beast shards (random), experience potions and a certain amount of Miasm Giant Dragon-shards.
