[Neural Cloud] Network Training Nov 2024 - Round 5 Max Score (1672)

Round 5 is slightly annoying. Notice that the additional payment that Antenora provides is not a flat +20 reward. Instead, it is a +5% reward based on your fight's total score. What this means is that you will need to fight Antenora with the highest scoring enemies as well as the most debuffs. Eww.

Thank god there are no debuffs in this round.

So, in order to get max score, your first fight must contain Antenora, Caina and Entropized Wisdom. Funny thing is, Entropized Wisdom does not even appear in the actual fight, since its starting position node is taken up by Antenora. Lol, lmao even.

In order to win this fight, you need to either burst down Caina, or find a way to not die to Caina and Antenora. Without the existence of the mooks that accompany Entropized Wisdom, Luna can quickly burst down Caina, but the mooks distract Luna from killing Caina fast. Since I do not have another burst damage doll, I had no choice but to take the second path.

So, how does one not die to Caina and Antenora? Simple, just dodge bro. This is where you would use dolls like Dupin and Groove Arma, but I have neither of those. Fortunately, I have Willow Arma raised. The setup is as follows:
Millau Arma III, because teamwide shielding is just too good
Willow Arma III to blind Caina and make her miss more
Dush Arma III for the debuffs
Eos as DPS. She works better than Luna here
Persi as healer because I have no one else lmao
I picked the Ascension layout here, because it gives me a Taunt tile for Millau. Also, the buff from the construct dying is nice, I guess
No doll buff used because I have none of them raised omegalul
All 6 protocol buffs because the second fight is piss easy

Your doll position setup is very important in this fight. You will want Antenora to target your Guard, so put all your dolls as close to Antenora as possible. If Antenora targets someone else, just teleport said doll to an empty node next to Antenora. Hopefully, with enough blinds from Willow, your team survives long enough until Antenora and/or Caina dies. If Antenora dies first, just spread out your dolls with teleport. If Caina dies first, well...just keep on going, I guess. This setup may take a few tries, since you're depending on dodge RNG

The second fight is really easy. Just use a semi-decent team and you'll win. I just used Luna because she was available and already part of a team.
