**(recommended to use Ultimate Move Gauge food)**

### Best team for fast clears

* Red Summer Diane: Her Unique helps by granting your units a rank-up in all their skills and providing extra stats; she will also set up all the conditions for your other DPS to clear Phase 2. Furthermore, her kit allows her to deal massive damage, which helps to make a fast clear.
* Red Rudeus: His skills can deal massive damage, but he’s also a good choice because Orsted is weak against Mushoku Tensei Collab units.
* Green Halloween Gowther: Thanks to Red Summer Diane, Gowther can finish the rank-up on all your skills to level 3—also, his Unique provides your units with more Attack-related stats over time.
* Red Ragnarok Ban (sub): He can be really helpful in providing extra damage to his allies due to his Unique working even as a sub.

### Alternative units

* Red Gowther: He can be helpful since he also has rank-ups. Also, his Unique increases the Attack of all his allies if he doesn’t receive any damage so that he can grant at least one stack by Phase 2.
* Red Escanor: His Unique and Amplify skills make him a solid unit since the first turn. Also, the fact that he’s a Coin Shop unit makes him the most accessible option.
* Red Sigurd: Having an Amplify card makes him also a great option.
* Green Helbram: If you’re lacking some extra damage, he can provide a lot of Attack-related stats with his upgraded buff skill.
* Red Kizuna: Paired with any Gowther, she can rank-up her buff skill straight to level 3 in a single turn. She also provides an increase in Attack-related stats to both teams.
* Red Sariel: He's a good alternative if you're missing units with the Amplify effect. He's capable of dealing massive damage accross the entire battle.
* Red Freyr: He’s also a good alternative DPS for a mono-red team, due to his high-damage skills. Also, if the game prolongs too much, he has a skill capable of Canceling Stances.
* Blue Nanashi (sub): His Unique and Holy Relic grant extra buffs to the units with the Amplify skill, making them more effective when they decide to attack. With his Holy Relic he will provide one extra blue buff making him all more helpful to his allies.
* Green “Assault Mode” Meliodas: Due to his Amplify card, he can be helpful as a substitute for a DPS.
* Green Brunhild: She can be helpful for a F2P team in case you don’t have Red Summer Diane to act as a DPS in a mono-green team.
* Green Liz: She’s just present for her Unique. Although she can deal decent damage, her primary use is ranking up the skills in a mono-green team.
* Green Allioni (sub): His Unique provides extra Attack-related stats to all HP attribute units.
* Green Deathpierce (sub): In case you don’t have Red Ragnarok Ban, Deathpierce is a decent replacement for him.
* Blue “The One” Escanor: He’s helpful if you have many dupes on him and your regular Red Escanor (or other units) are not fully upgraded. Valid for an Ultimate Rush Strategy.
* Green Merlin (sub): If you want an Ultimate Rush strategy, Green Merlin, along with Ultimate Gauge food, is the way to go.

## General Strategy:

There are two crucial pointers regarding this boss. Although he’s not especially difficult and the units used are accessible, it has some unique characteristics:

* Mushoku Tensei units deal 80% extra damage and receive 80% less damage.
* Increases the damage taken by Light and Dark units by 500% and decreases the damage they deal by 500%, so not using units from those attributes is in your best interests.

### Regular Strategy

The most optimal teams for Orsted with this type of strategy are:

* Green Halloween Gowther
* Red Summer Diane
* Red Rudeus
* Red Ragnarok Ban (Sub)

On the other team, there can be:

* Red Gowther
* Red Kizuna
* Red Escanor
* Green Deathpierce (Sub)

(or a mono-green comp)

* Green Liz
* Green Helbram
* Green Brunhild
* Green Allioni

As stated, Orsted is a reasonably easy boss when using the correct units. Your goal when building your team is to get rank three skills as soon as possible, either by using Red Summer Diane or Green Liz and burst the boss. Use your buffs (if you have them) and save at least one Amplify card from either your or your ally’s team for Phase 2.

In Phase 2, you should follow the same process. Thanks to Orsted’s vulnerability to Mushoku Tensei units, Rudeus can deal massive damage even without any orbs. Then you can use the rest of your skills to finish Orsted off.

### Ult Rush Strategy

The most optimal teams for Orsted with this type of strategy are:

* Green Halloween Gowther
* Red Kizuna
* Blue “The One” Escanor
* Red Ragnarok Ban (Sub)

On the other team, there can be:

* Green Halloween Gowther
* Red Summer Diane
* Red Escanor
* Red Ragnarok Ban (Sub)

You should use Ultimate Move gauge orbs food in this team to push your Ultimate Move for Phase 2. During Phase 1 on the other hand, you can start the same as the previous team, rank-up from Summer Diane’s team, and then she can burst down Orsted, Escanor on the other hand can move one card and attack to get his Ultimate Move in preparation for the first turn of Phase 2.

Then, on Phase 2, he upgrades Kizuna’s buff, uses it, and uses his Ultimate Move. With enough dupes it should deal over 70% of Orsted’s HP in damage; the other team can finish the fight.

Overall, Orsted is a boss with a fair difficulty by removing Light and Dark units, who are strong on their right, thus, forcing other strategies to rely on other units.
