Summoners War Necropolis 33-Second Speed Team Guide

To achieve a 33-second average Necropolis clear in Summoners War, pair Second Awakened (2A) Water Inugami (Icaru) with Chakram Dancers and Boomerang Warriors. This combination abuses joint attacks to strip the Ancient Lich King's multi-hit barrier immediately on turn one, allowing your damage dealers to apply Defense Break and burst both phases before the boss can steal a monster.

Team Composition and Turn Order

The core engine relies on Icaru's Team Up alongside Fire and Water Twins to provide continuous multi-hit damage and defense reduction.

Speed-tune your team to execute actions in this exact sequence:

1. Wave Clearer (Shaina or Astar): Moves first to wipe trash waves and strike the boss barrier.
2. Icaru: Uses Team Up to pull allies, destroying the remaining shield stacks and landing Defense Break.
3. Sabrina: Attacks with a Chakram ally, reinforcing debuffs and lowering the boss's health.
4. Talia: Delivers the finishing blow to trigger the Lich King's revive phase.

Rune Builds and Stat Thresholds

The Necropolis boss stage strictly caps attack speed, making high base Speed unnecessary. Reallocate your stat budget directly into Attack, Critical Rate, and Critical Damage.

Damage Dealers (Twins and Wave Clearers)

• Rune Sets: Rage/Blade, Fatal/Blade, or Violent/Blade. Rage on Talia is ideal for guaranteeing phase executes.
• Critical Rate: Target 85% to 100% on every damage dealer to prevent non-critical hits from stalling the run.
• Accuracy: Maintain at least 45% Accuracy on Shaina and Sabrina so Defense Break and Slow land reliably through boss resistance.
• Speed: Aim for +45 to +65 bonus Speed. Anything higher wastes stat rolls that should go into offensive stats.

Water Inugami (Icaru)

• Rune Sets: Guard, Determination, Focus, or Fight sets. Fight sets are preferred to elevate the overall Attack ceiling of your Twins.
• Defense Requirement: Unlike Dragons B12 teams that require +2300 Defense to pull three units, Necropolis only requires enough Defense to pull at least two allies for shield breaking.
• Survivability: Give Icaru sufficient HP and Defense to survive mid-boss damage and reflected damage during boss phases.

Stage Execution Strategy

• Waves 1 and 3 (Trash Waves): Shaina’s AoE or Astar’s passive-boosted attacks must wipe these waves in a single action. If fodder survives with sliver health, run times will drop from 33 seconds to over 40 seconds. Equip artifacts with bonus damage based on Attack or elemental advantage to reach single-shot thresholds.
• Wave 2 (Mid-Boss Grego): Grego gains attack power as minions die. Icaru’s Team Up forces focused fire directly onto Grego, allowing the Twins' joint attacks to burst him down before he takes a turn.
• Wave 4 (Ancient Lich King): The boss opens with a 7-hit shield. The turn order strips all seven layers instantly on turn one. Talia depletes the first life bar, forcing the boss to revive. The team uses its remaining turn advantage to strip the second shield and eliminate the boss before his capture skill activates.

Troubleshooting Run Failures

• The Boss Steals an Ally: If the Lich King takes a turn and kidnaps Talia or Shaina, your damage output was too low to execute the phase in one rotation. Move Talia to a Rage set or upgrade Attack% and Critical Damage artifacts.
• Defense Break Misses: If the shield drops but damage is low, verify that Shaina and Sabrina have at least 45% Accuracy. Without Defense Break, the Twins cannot reach execute thresholds.
• Twins Die Early: High-damage attackers can eliminate themselves through reflected damage. Equip artifacts with Life Drain to sustain your primary damage dealers across multi-run auto-battles.
