Overlord Labyrinth

Published November 8 2023

### Introduction

In this mode, you will have to create a team from a selection provided to you to defeat all 3 floors of the Labyrinth. They will all begin at level 1 when you start, and all subsequent units added to your team will all retain the same level and awakening state going forward until you reset everything. It is imperative that you level your units appropriately and make use of the mode’s new passive addition system.

You will also play through a series of panels. Some will allow you to shop for upgrades or characters, while others may simply grant you more levels. Make sure you check out what each panel will do for you before entering, but you can also check as you go along.

An addition made in the Labyrinth game mode is the introduction of Guardian Stones. These can be purchased in the shop and carry over into each Labyrinth run you do. They are only lost and reset when the current Labyrinth season ends entirely. There are three kinds: The Stone of Wrath, Stone of Protection, and Stone of Life which increase some Attack-related stats, Defense-related stats, and HP-related stats respectively. They do not appear in every shop tile and only appear randomly. Always purchase them if you can. They are not required to win but will make runs significantly easier.

Below are images for the new entrance, list of the stone effects, and how it appears when purchasing one in the shop (in that order):

#### Passives

Throughout the adventure, you’ll be able to acquire passive skills that will apply to all your allies such as these:

There is no perfect amount of passives to have, simply get as much as you believe you’ll need. For this iteration of Labyrinth, due to it occurring during the Overlord collaboration, the best passives are ones that help the Overlord collab characters themselves. Otherwise, passives that work for your specific team build work best, such as specific buffs to Unknown characters or more Universal Buffs like Crit Chance and Crit Damage. However, you don’t need to go overboard with the Crit Chance passives, two or three should suffice if they are SSR or UR rarity.

However, if you don’t have any Overlord characters, some good choices are Blue Chandler or Red Halloween Matrona as they can help tank hits while allowing Green Cocytus time to build up his Ultimate and deal heavy damage with his Amplify skill. This will play a large role in the final boss fight on floor 3.

Throughout this guide, both Overlord characters and non-Overlord units will be recommended so people who did not summon for the new units: Blue Ainz, Blue Albedo, and Red Shalltear have some alternative choices.

Another fact of the matter is that without Overlord characters, your runs will be significantly slower. **As such, grab the collab characters whenever possible during this labyrinth.**

Note: There are four passives that you automatically start out with. Make sure to read them so you can use them in your team building and strategy.

### Floor 1 Strategy

Out of the starting lineup characters, Green Cocytus is the best choice as he can not only benefit from the Overlord-collab specific passives but can cleanse the team by attacking. Luckily, he is given away through collab missions, so he is completely free to acquire. Not to mention, he is simply a decent unit in general. Red Sigurd can help you heavily as well later on in this floor and floor 2.

Ideally, you would want to make a full Overlord-centric team, but if that is not possible, then you can build teams using mono-color teams or simply what you prefer (though you will need more universal passives to do so). Bear in mind that the first two bosses are HP-attribute (Green), and the last one is Strength-attribute (Red).

In terms of tiles to go for, prioritize passives if you aren’t using more Overlord characters, otherwise you can go for level up panels and passives where appropriate. Awakening panels are not too important and can be acquired more often in later floors regardless.

#### **Green Gerharde Boss Fight**

There isn’t necessarily a big gimmick here. Gerheade is a very straightforward boss. The only two things to note is that she can remove Stances with one of her skills and will fully heal herself while increasing her own stats when she falls below 50% HP. Other than that, you can just keep attacking her until she dies as her Recovery skill does not actually heal much health at all.

### Floor 2 Strategy

As mentioned before, always grab Overlord characters when you can as they trivialize the mode, but otherwise continue the mono-color team mentioned above. Race-specific teams are weak as there aren’t many super useful race specific buffs without seriously compromising the effectiveness of your team EXCEPT Unknown race team buffs. This is because the Overlord characters are all Unknown race units so it overlaps nicely.

#### **Green Gloxinia Boss Fight**

An important thing to note is that the boss can seal Attack skills with his Rank 2 or 3 AOE skill. Therefore, it is recommended to use Cocytus’s Ultimate Move to cleanse the team from the attack seal Debuff. Moreover, he is immune to all Debuff effects so trying to seal his Skill effects with a character like Blue Chandler is pointless. This fight can take a while without collab characters, but a strategy you can use in both this boss fight and the last one is to hoard Amplify skills from Cocytus, use his Detonate skill to cleanse Debuffs to gain his HP buffs, and use his Ultimate to gain stat buffs. Following that, use Rank 2 or 3 Amplify skill to quickly kill the boss.

Nice job! Onto the last floor.

### Floor 3 Strategy

In this floor, you can gain a multitude of units such as Red Halloween Matrona or Red Sariel. Since the boss is particularly weak to Overlord characters, the most efficient strategy is to stay alive until you can use the Amplify tactic with Cocytus as mentioned above. Therefore, it’s recommended to use Red Halloween Matrona if possible or Blue Chandler (possibly both for stall potential), and Green Deathpierce is a great Sub-slot unit to help get those Critical hits.

#### **Floor 3 Boss**

The main reason you don’t want to build around other characters is because the boss can quickly kill them before you can get going with them. However, the boss deals 50% less damage to Overlord characters as well as taking 50% more damage from them in return. As such, even though Cocytus is a green unit, he can still deal massive damage. If his HP buffs and Ultimate Buffs are active, Cocytus can practically one-shot with a rank 3 Amplify skill. He is the most reliable character to survive, not only due to the less damage taken, but also because Overlord characters receive 10% damage reduction at the start of your allied turn. Naturally, if you have other Overlord characters like Blue Albedo or Blue Ainz, both of them can easily kill the boss as well.

### Victory

Congratulations! You just beat the Labyrinth!
