Introduction
This guide will provide Heirs with step-by-step advice on how to clear Floors 96 to 100 in the Automaton Tower including team compositions, battle strategies, and other helpful information.
Floor 96
Wave 1 of this battle pits you against three level 76 enemies (Water and Light element) including two Taranor Royal Guards, and Captain Rikoris. These enemies have the following skill profiles:
Wave 2 of this battle has a single level 76 enemy (Dark element), Martial Artist Ken. This enemy has the following skill profile:
Clearing this floor rewards Heirs with Gold.
Battle Strategy and Team Composition
Wave 1 of this battle is not as challenging as Wave 2 due to the exploitable weaknesses of Captain Rikoris. Heirs should note that Captain Rikoris does extra damage against Dark element Heroes. Additionally, his skills grant him a high amount of utility which allows him to buff his adds or prevent the Heir’s Heroes from attacking. Heirs should focus on either taunting him or granting their DPS Heroes immunity so they can reliably focus on taking Captain Rikoris out. Taunt is the preferred approach because it both allows Heir’s DPS to focus on inflicting as much damage as possible, and doesn’t allow Captain Rikoris to buff his adds.
Wave 2 of this battle is against Martial Artist Ken, who is a force to be reckoned with. He has punishing skills that inflict significant damage via critical hits. Due to his ability to decrease damage from enemy critical hits by 30% Heirs are advised to gear their teams with the aim of keeping Critical Hit Chance and Critical Damage stats as low as possible. Heirs should focus on using Heroes that can debuff MA Ken and decrease his Attack, Hit Chance, and Combat Readiness. This will counter his buff skills and prevent him from dealing more damage than can be dealt with my Healers.

Floor 97
Wave 1 of this battle has four level 77 enemies (Water element) including three Aranea Cannon and one Aranea Gigantes. These enemies have the following skill profiles:
| Skill Name | Skill Description |
|---|---|

Fires a shell at the enemy, with a 50% chance to inflict Poison for 1 turn. |
Blitz |
Fires a powerful shell at the enemy, with a 50% chance to stun for 1 turn. |
| Skill Name | Skill Description |
|---|---|

| Quake |

| Security State |

Wave 2 of this battle has three level 77 enemies (Dark) including Blood Blade Karin, Kitty Clarissa, and Church of Illyos Axe. These enemies have the following skill profiles:
Clearing this floor rewards the Heir with Gold.
Battle Strategy and Team Composition
Wave 2 of this battle presents its biggest challenge in the form of Blood Blade Karin. Her passive ability increases her Combat Readiness and Attack if she doesn’t constantly have at least three debuffs inflicted. This presents even more of a difficulty to overcome due to Kitty Clarissa, whose S3 “I’m So Cute, Meow” reduces the duration of debuffs on all allies by two turns and grants Kitty Clarissa Immunity and Loveliness. Heirs should focus on taking out Kitty Clarissa as a first priority before then focusing on BB Karin. The best strategy against BB Karin is ensuring Heirs build a team composition with Heroes who can consistently inflict multiple debuffs and who can cleanse and/or grant debuff immunity.
DPS - Sigret
Debuffer - Dizzy, Surin
Cleanser - Angelica, Angelic Montmorancy
Floor 98
Wave 1 of this battle has four level 78 enemies (Light and Earth element) including two Swamp Remus and two Orichalcum Ministers. These enemies have the following skill profiles:
| Skill Name | Skill Description |
|---|---|
Falling Strike |
Attacks the enemy with a long arm, decreasing Combat Readiness by 10%. |
Pus Throw |
Throws pus at the enemy, making them unhealable or unable to be buffed for 2 turns. |
| Detection |

Wave 2 of this battle has four level 78 enemies (Light element) including two Trapper Floats (these enemies only appear under certain circumstances in battle), Celeste, and Silver Blade Aramintha. These enemies have the following skill profiles:
| Skill Name | Skill Description |
|---|---|
Chop |
Attacks with a club. |
| Smash |
Attacks strongly, with a 75% chance to dispel 1 buff. |
Clearing this floor rewards the Heir with Gold.
Battle Strategy and Team Composition
Heirs should pay close attention to SB Aramintha’s skill “Inviolable Territory” skill that goes into effect immediately at the beginning of battle. This skill prevents any of the Heir’s Heroes from being able to benefit from buffs for the duration of the battle. However, it does make SB Aramintha more susceptible to effects. Her other skills focus on granting enormous buffs to her Combat Readiness, and can even summon two Trapper Floats from the use of her S3 “Meteor Fall”. Heirs should pay close attention to their team composition, ensuring that they include Heroes that can remove SB Aramintha’s buffs, as well as healers that can keep their DPS alive for the duration of the battle.

|---|---|
| Sun Dew |

Clearing this floor rewards the Heir with two Epic Necklace Charms and two Epic Ring Charms.
Battle Strategy and Team Composition
During Wave 2 of this battle Destina will become Ruele of Light when her health drops to less than 30%. Heirs should note that the skills of their enemies punish a strategy that focuses on debuffing, granting the enemy team multiple Combat Readiness stacks that will quickly make it difficult for the Heir to get a turn. Heirs should avoid inflicting debuffs for this reason. Heirs should focus on a team composition that grants significant boosts to ally Attack and Combat Readiness to ensure they can do as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible. If the Heir can inflict damage equal or greater to 30% of Destina’s health, they can skip the final phase of the fight where she transforms into Ruele of Light. To accomplish this Heirs will have to inflict 16,122 damage or more, depending on the remaining health of Destina.

Wave 2 of this battle features one level 80 enemy (Light element), Scornful Gaze Brassia. This enemy has the following skill profile:
| Skill Name | Skill Description |
|---|---|
| Judgement of Light |

| Purifying Strike |

Battle Strategy and Team Composition
In Wave 2, SG Brassia has many powerful skills that create a uniquely challenging battle for Heirs. Heirs must be careful not to inflict three or more debuffs to SG Brassia or she will cleanse them all and gain another turn. Additionally, she is quickly able to stack Combat Readiness, creating a situation where it will be difficult for Heirs to take a turn. Heirs should also refrain from performing team buffs, as this grants SG Brassia a barrier that cannot be dispelled. To clear this final floor, Heirs should focus on constructing a team with t/DPS who have the elemental advantage and that can carefully control the debuffs being case to ensure no more than two are in effect. Team compositions should also include a healer/cleanser to keep the Heir’s team alive, as well as a very powerful DPS that doesn’t require Attack buffs to be effective.
Healer and/or Cleanser - Destina, Angelica
DPS - Dark Corvus, Commander Lorina, Iseria
