To farm Ascension Oils while leveling food champions in Sand Devil Necropolis Stage 24, build Cronham above 257 Speed, 45,000 HP, and 3,200 Defense with at least 500 total Accuracy. Recorded run failures show that landing exactly at or below 257 Speed, 45k HP, and 3,200 Defense leaves Cronham vulnerable to sudden wipes. If your artifacts cannot hit 500 Accuracy while exceeding these defensive floors, add Mithrala Lifebane to stabilize the team.

Stat Requirements and Failure Thresholds

Stage 24 reduces stat requirements compared to Stage 25, allowing a core carry setup to defeat Al-Na'meb while three sacrificial food units take early lethal hits. However, surviving the boss's awake cycles requires strict stat targets.

Cronham's dungeon aura increases team Accuracy and counts toward the 500 Accuracy target. Take this aura into account when gearing so you can dedicate primary stats on gloves, chest, and accessories to HP% and DEF%.

Team Setup and the Mithrala Alternative

A standard food run consists of Cronham and up to three fodder champions. When running a solo carry, any delay in healing or a resisted debuff ends the battle.

  • Solo Carry Cronham: Requires stats strictly higher than 257 Speed, 45k HP, and 3,200 Defense. He must rely entirely on passive set healing to survive consecutive awake hits.
  • Mithrala Lifebane Duo: If your gear cannot achieve 500 Accuracy alongside higher defensive stats, add Mithrala. Her shields, debuff cleansing, and passive stat support lower Cronham's gearing requirements and prevent run-ending crowd control.
  • Food Slots: Fill the remaining roster slots with common, uncommon, or rank-up champions. These units die during the boss's opening area attacks, absorbing early hits without interfering with turn cycles.

Gearing and Tuning Recommendations

Equipping Cronham for sustainable Stage 24 clears requires self-sufficient healing rather than burst offensive stats.

  1. Equip Regeneration and Immortal Sets: Pair a 4-piece Regeneration set with a 2-piece Immortal set. Passive turn-based healing maintains Cronham's health pool through slumber transitions and sandstorm attacks.
  2. Prioritize Defensive Primaries: Use HP% and DEF% on chest pieces and gloves. Avoid flat defensive stats, which fail to clear the 45k HP and 3,200 Defense failure baseline.
  3. Supplement Accuracy: Use Perception sets or substats alongside Cronham's aura to ensure total Accuracy reaches at least 500.
  4. Avoid Turn Meter Desyncs: Do not select masteries that trigger erratic Turn Meter boosts. Inconsistent turn progression desynchronizes skill cycles relative to the boss's sleep phases.
