To speed clear Legend Boss Melascula on Challenge difficulty in The Seven Deadly Sins, use a burst damage team led by Gawain to eliminate her across two to three total turns. Bypassing Melascula’s mechanics with raw damage ignores her Commandment of Faith and debuff cycles, allowing you to farm event exchange shop currency quickly rather than stalling to fulfill high-score mission requirements.

Speed Clear Team Setup

A speed-farming team prioritizes rapid burst damage over score-mission constraints such as stance canceling or racial diversity.

  • Primary Attacker: Gawain (Four Knights of the Apocalypse). Her heavy single-target scaling, critical strike potential, and self-buffs provide the required damage to defeat each phase in a single offensive turn. Equip Gawain with Attack and Critical Damage gear sets using standard Attack, Defense, and HP substat rolls.
  • Frontline Support: Run offensive Human support units such as Transcendent Ban to supply passive Attack-Related Stats, defense reduction, and card management.
  • Sub-Slot Passive: Place Deathpierce in the fourth slot to lower enemy Critical Resistance and Critical Defense, or Ragnarok Ban to weaken enemy offense while enhancing your team's attack stats.
  • Food Buff: Eat Attack food or Critical Damage food before entering the encounter to consistently hit damage thresholds across both phases.

Boss Mechanics to Bypass

Melascula's Challenge difficulty kit relies on attrition, lifesteal, and stat penalties that punish prolonged encounters:

  • Commandment of Faith: Applies Ignite debuffs to allied units that fail to use a skill card during your turn. Stacking Ignites significantly amplifies Melascula's damage against your frontline.
  • Phase 1 Sustain: Melascula possesses passive health recovery. Leaving her alive at low health allows her to restore substantial HP.
  • Phase 2 Wipe Threat: Melascula clears debuffs and gains increased offensive stats. If she fills her Ultimate Move gauge, her attack will wipe your frontline attackers.

By compressing the fight into a two-turn Phase 1 and a one-turn Phase 2, Melascula is eliminated before her sustain or Ultimate Move can trigger.

Turn Sequence by Phase

Phase and TurnObjectiveSkill Action Order
Phase 1: Turn 1Soften boss and cycle cardsApply support attack buffs or enemy debuffs; attack with secondary skills to draw Gawain cards.
Phase 1: Turn 2Conclude Phase 1Finish remaining Phase 1 health using low-tier attacks; bank high-tier Gawain cards and Ultimate Move gauge.
Phase 2: Turn 3Wipe Phase 2 in one turnCast remaining debuffs or buffs, fire Gawain's Ultimate Move, and finish with high-tier single-target cards.

Phase 1 Execution

  1. Turn 1: Open with your support unit's attack buffs or defense debuffs. Follow up with secondary single-target strikes or card merges to cycle your hand. If your starting card draw and team stats are high enough, an attack buff followed by two Gawain single-target attacks can defeat Phase 1 immediately.
  2. Turn 2: If Melascula survives Turn 1, use low-rank cards to deplete her remaining health. Save your silver and gold Gawain cards or charged Ultimate Move for the start of Phase 2. Do not waste top-tier burst cards overkilling Phase 1.

Phase 2 Execution

Melascula begins Phase 2 with full health and no debuffs. Clear the phase immediately on Turn 3:

  1. Apply any available defense-down debuffs or offensive team buffs first.
  2. If Gawain's Ultimate Move is ready, lead with it to break through Melascula's initial damage reduction.
  3. Follow immediately with Gawain’s highest-tier single-target strike cards. Because Gawain deals increased critical damage against debuffed targets, sequencing her attacks after your team's debuffs guarantees the kill.

When to Switch from Scoring to Speed Clearing

Use dedicated high-score team compositions only until you reach the point threshold required to claim all one-time milestone rewards on the event leaderboard. High-score runs require specific card resets and prolonged turn counts that waste time during routine farming.

Once score milestones are secured, switch entirely to this Gawain burst team. A rapid clear takes under 90 seconds per run, giving you the fastest method to spend daily stamina and clear out the Legend Boss Exchange Shop inventory, including UR Evolution pendants, Super Awakening coins, and limited cosmetic outfits.
