How to Clear The Seven Deadly Sins Skoll and Hati Floor 4 with Gawain

Clearing Floor 4 of the Skoll and Hati Demonic Beast Battle in The Seven Deadly Sins is widely considered one of the most punishing endgame challenges. However, by leveraging a specific female-led team composition centered around Gawain, players can effectively strip away the RNG-heavy variables that typically lead to failed runs. This "zero-luck" approach prioritizes consistent damage output and defensive sustain, allowing you to navigate the wolves' complex mechanical phases with surgical precision.

The Strategy: Why Gawain Changes Everything

The inclusion of Gawain is the linchpin of this strategy. In the context of the Skoll and Hati encounter, Gawain offers a blend of high-utility combat mechanics that specifically address the "Floor 4 Tax"—the punishing damage mitigation and aggressive passive stacks the bosses employ.

Unlike traditional teams that rely on fishing for specific Ultimate Move gauges or high-rank card combinations, the Gawain-led team operates on a cycle of controlled aggression. By utilizing her unique skill set, you can bypass the "damage wall" that often forces players into long, drawn-out turns where the wolves gain the upper hand. Gawain’s ability to manipulate her own stats and maintain offensive pressure ensures that you aren't at the mercy of the game’s card RNG.

Building the Ideal Female-Led Team

To execute this strategy, your team must be built to maximize the synergy between Gawain and her supporting cast. The goal is to create a "defensive wall" that allows Gawain to focus on damage without needing to worry about constant party wipes.

• The Gawain Core: Gawain serves as your primary DPS. Ensure she is equipped with high-tier Attack/Crit Damage gear to capitalize on her scaling.
• Support Units: Focus on female characters who provide either cleanse, shield, or stat-buffing passives. Support units that can remove debuffs are critical for Floor 4, as the wolves frequently apply "bleed" or "stat decrease" effects that can cripple your team’s offensive potential.
• The Passive Synergy: Many female units in The Seven Deadly Sins share passives that grant increased survivability when grouped together. By leaning into these "female-only" or "race-specific" buffs, you create an inherent durability that allows your team to survive the wolves’ turn-ending burst damage.

Managing the Mechanics of Floor 4

Floor 4 is a test of patience and resource management. The wolves (Skoll and Hati) possess mechanics that punish players for attacking indiscriminately. You must manage their health bars simultaneously to prevent one wolf from buffing the other, which can lead to an unmanageable difficulty spike.

1. Phase Thresholds: Do not rush into the next phase if your defensive cooldowns are active. Use the first few turns to build up your ultimate gauge.
2. Debuff Management: The wolves apply massive debuffs. If your support unit has a cleanse, hold onto those cards until the wolves’ debuff phase triggers, rather than using them proactively.
3. Targeting Priority: Always prioritize keeping the wolves’ HP levels relatively even. If one wolf falls significantly behind, the other will receive a massive stat boost that can easily wipe a team not prepared for the increased damage output.

Essential Tips for Consistent Clears

To maintain consistency, you must move away from the "hope for a good hand" mentality and toward a "calculated turn" mindset.

• Card Rank Management: Even if you aren't relying on specific RNG, combining cards to create Rank 2 or Rank 3 skills is still a vital tool. Use your support units' low-rank cards to cycle through your deck until you reach the necessary setup for Gawain to land a high-damage turn.
• Ultimate Move Readiness: In Floor 4, your Ultimates are your insurance policy. If you find yourself in a position where the wolves are about to unleash their most dangerous attack, using an Ultimate to transition phases—or to provide a massive heal—is often the difference between a clear and a restart.
• Gear and Investment: Because this strategy relies on the stability of your units, ensure your Gawain and support characters are fully awakened and have at least UR-tier gear. The math behind this "no-luck" strategy assumes you have the raw stats to survive the base-level damage of the encounter.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even with a stable team, players often lose runs due to avoidable errors:

• Over-extending: Attempting to rush through a phase when your team is at half health is the most common cause of failure. It is better to spend one turn healing and resetting your buffs than to risk a wipe.
• Ignoring the Passive Indicators: Pay close attention to the icons appearing above the wolves. If they gain a shield or a damage reduction buff, do not waste your best Gawain cards. Wait for the effect to expire or use a card that ignores damage reduction.
• Neglecting Support Survivability: Many players focus solely on Gawain's stats. However, if your support unit dies, your entire defensive structure collapses. Ensure your support units have enough HP/Defense gear to survive at least two rounds of focused fire.

Why This Strategy Works

This team composition succeeds because it stabilizes the variables that make the Skoll and Hati battle unpredictable. By utilizing Gawain’s specific kit, you reduce the number of turns required to clear the floor. Fewer turns mean fewer opportunities for the wolves to stack their dangerous passives or for the game to present you with a "dead" hand of cards.

This guide provides a blueprint for a controlled, methodical victory. By treating the encounter as a series of repeatable steps rather than a chaotic battle, you can turn the most difficult stage in The Seven Deadly Sins into a consistent, daily farming activity. Prioritize your gear, manage your cooldowns, and let Gawain do the heavy lifting to ensure your progression through the Demonic Beast Battles remains smooth and reliable.
