[Max Luck] #4: The Impossibles!

Time for Part 4 of the Max Luck series! This part we focus on the best max lucks for Impossible dungeons. With Izanagi coming to NA, it is time to get ready to plan!

If this is your first time reading my max luck series, I omit limited monsters, collaboration monsters, and of course impossible monsters.

Lets get started!

Izanami - Queen Butterflight (Asc)
Class: Demon
Hit: Bounce
Type: Balance
Ability: Flight / Null Gravity Barrier
Max HP: 18990 (+4200)
Max ATK: 18943 (+6475)
Max SPD: 270.13 (+96.05)
SS: Bash+Spread Shot
Bump: Ex Laser L (6187)
Sub: Ex Laser S (2706)

Recommended Monsters
Kushinada

Tini (Asc)
Dear Lotta
Yggdrasil (Evo)
Non-Fire NDW monsters

Thoughts
Pretty self-explanatory on why QB is #1 for Izanami and it is still #1 in JP. Well Eva-13 is the new #1 but I am omitting him since he will probably not come to NA. 

High stats and NGB makes her a very good max luck monster for Izanami. You can also SS the 3rd bar to pinch the last bar.

Other Bosses
Tiger I (Evo): She has high HP to tank shots for your team and she also deal with the gimmicks pretty well. However if you have Napoleon on your team, there is not much use for her Blast bump.
Nurarihyon (Evo): Water and Deity Slayer L. Her SS can deal a ton of damage to Izanami and can help you take down a good chuck of her HP. She does not have NGB so 1 max is best.
Kii (Evo): Deity Slayer L. Her SS deals more than Nurarihyon but she takes in more damage than her. Also she does not have NGB.



Kushinada - Krishna (Asc)
Class: Deity
Hit: Bounce
Type: Balance
Ability: Null Warp
Max HP: 15137 (+4200)
Max ATK: 18385 (+6275)
Max SPD: 247.87 (+87.55)
SS: Spread shot per each enemy hit
Bump: Giga Blast (7499)
Sub: Spread Shot L2 (1722)

Recommended Monsters
Kii (Evo)
Jack (Evo)
Napoleon (Evo)
Satan / Lucifer (Evo)
NGB Monsters

Thoughts
It is really tough choosing this one since it is more about your luck in the dungeon when you deviate from 3 Izanami+1 Ryoma or 4 Izanami. 

Even so, I think Krishna works best from my experience. She has a Null Warp which deals with the main gimmick in the dungeon. She also has a Blast bump which can proc Izanami's bump. Her SS can mob clear for the last dungeon.

The only thing bad about her is her relatively low HP and that she is not a Fire monster.

Other Bosses
Astaroth (Evo): NW and Fire. Her SS can deal nice damage to Kushinada. She is slow so it is hard to get to your allies and or to mob clear
Vendetta (Evo): NW and Fire. His bump is a decent DPS source for the dungeon. However, just like Astaroth, he is slow and can't mob clear.

Yamato Takeru - Tengu (Asc)
Class: Demon Mencer
Hit: Bounce
Type: Balance
Ability: Flight / Null Gravity Barrier
Max HP: 15411 (+4200)
Max ATK: 16147 (+5525)
Max SPD: 223.07 (+79.05)
SS: Shoots a spray in targeted direction
Bump: Homing 18 (3294)
Sub: Spread Shot L2 (1722)

Recommended Monsters
Hydra (Evo)
Zeus (Asc)
Fenrir (Evo)
Beethoven (Evo)
Kushinada (Evo)
Non-Water NDW monsters

Thoughts
The requirements for Yamato Takeru is not that high so practically any non-fire bounce NGB monster would work. But it is best to have a Wood monster so that you take less damage.

Tengu is bounce and NGB and his homing can help deal damage to the mobs. Also you can easily position him for his SS due to the small corridors within the dungeon.

Other Bosses
Basilisk (Asc): Bounce, Wood, and NGB. I was debated him over Tengu but I choose Tengu. Mainly because of his Blast bump which can proc Kushinada's Plasma. But since Kush is not an NGB then it is not crazy useful. His dungeon is also hard with multiple max luck.
Jiraiya (Asc): Bounce, Wood, NDW. Although he is not a NGB, he does have high HP which can offset the low HP from Kushinada and HK. His SS can also deal great damage to the 2nd and 3rd bar.

Izanagi - Nurarihyon X (Evo)
Class: Fiend Slayer
Hit: Bounce
Type: Balance
Ability: Null Warp
Gauge: Deity Slayer
Max HP: 20918 (+3900)
Max ATK: 15675 (+5250)
Max SPD: 277.57 (+98.60)
SS: Bash+Laser
Bump: Ex Laser L (6187)

Recommended Monsters
Dark Wyrm (Asc)
Inari
Godstriker (Asc)
Independence (Evo)
Fiend Slayer Monsters

Thoughts
Nurarihyon X has high stats, deals with the main gimmick in warps. She also have a Deity Slayer which is the Class of Izanagi as well as Izanami. Even though Izanami is Fire, Nurarihyon X can SS her (she has relative low HP) and it will be back up for the final boss! The Kushinada stage is the easiest out of the three and she has attribute advantage against Yamato Takeru.

Her luck can be raised by the normal Nurarihyon so you just have to get one X version and max luck by running the non-X version.

Other Bosses
Lilith (Evo): She is a NW and a Demihume Slayer for the Kushinada stage. What makes her a good choice is her Meteor SS which she can use on the last stage to deal twice the damage to Izanagi if she hits the mobs.
Fenrir (Evo): NW and NDW. He deals with all the gimmicks in the dungeon. He has homings to help with mob clear. However he doesn't have a powerful SS to make a big difference after the first 2 floors.
Hydra (Evo): NW and NDW. Same thing with Fenrir that he deals with the gimmicks. However he has low stats and an attribute disadvantage to the Yamato Takeru stage.

Tsukuyomi - Jack (Evo)
Class: Sprite
Hit: Bounce
Type: Balance
Ability: Null Gravity Barrier
Gauge: Null Warp
Max HP: 18934 (+3900)
Max ATK: 13019 (+4475)
Max SPD: 249.57 (+88.40)
SS: Spread shot per each enemy hit
Bump: Spread Piercer EL3 (2812)

Recommended Monsters
Vanilla (Asc)
Hydra (Evo)
Fenrir (Evo)
Kushinada
NDW Monsters

Thoughts:
Speed is very important in Tsukuyomi. Jack has high speed to mob clear and he meets the ATK threshold. Even without a monster with a speed up bump, he can destroy all the mobs!

Also being Light, he deals extra damage to Tsukuyomi. Since you hardly take damage from mobs and all of Tsukuyomi's attacks are non-attribute, you don't have to worry about the extra damage you would take from Dark monsters.

Other Bosses
Ghost (Asc): He is another top pick for Tsukyomi,  being pierce and NGB. He also has a Blast bump and Command SS. However, you need a speed up monster in your team or else it may be difficult due to his low speed.
Serket (Evo): Pierce and NGB. She is just a solid and safe pick for the dungeon.  

Ashura - Okita Soji (Asc)
Class: Samurai
Hit: Pierce
Type: Balance
Ability: Mech Slayer
Gauge: Null Damage Wall
Max HP: 13943 (+4200)
Max ATK: 17956 (+1750)
Max SPD: 334.97 (+33.15)
SS: Becomes a bounce type
Bump: Homing 12 (3294)
Sub: Spread Shot L2 (1205)

Recommended Monsters
Momochi Sandayu
Oryo (Asc)
Kushinada
Tengu (Asc)
Queen Butterflight (Asc)
Non-Fire NDW monsters

Thoughts
Since Ashura is a Mech and is full of DW, Okita is perfect for that dungeon. He is a pierce type which makes it easier to avoid the attack from Ashura in various stages of the dungeon. As well he can become a bounce type with his SS to deal giant damage to Ashura like in the last bar.

Stats also don't matter that much since the mobs and boss don't do that much damage if you avoid them effectively.

Other Bosses
Louis the 13th (Evo): Fire Resist and NDW. Really nice monster that just doesn't take damage in general and her homing can mob clear.
Dracula (Asc): Water and NDW. Another monster that deals with the gimmicks. Not really a good DPS source so he is there to fill.

Bishamonten - Gigamantis (Evo)
Class: Mech
Hit: Pierce
Type: Balance
Ability: Null Damage Wall
Max HP: 14409 (+3900)
Max ATK: 17347 (+5925)
Max SPD: 267.93 (+94.35)
SS: Lightning Meteor SS
Bump: Cross Laser L (6187)

Recommended Monsters
Izanami
Gargoyle (Asc)
Sakamoto Ryoma (Asc)
Da Vinci (Asc)
Tengu (Asc)
Non-Water NGB monsters 

Thoughts
One important aspect of Bishamonten is to mob clear and one-shoting the blobs makes it a lot easier. Gigamantis can do that. He can also mob clear using his SS.

He also has high speed to bump into the healing walls and heal a lot from them.

Other Bosses
Jiraiya (Asc): Wood, Bounce, and NDW. He is your go-to bounce monster for the dungeon. He can one-shot the blobs with the steel backs.

Marishiten - Gargoyle (Asc)
Class: Demon
Hit: Bounce
Type: Balance
Ability: Flight
Gauge: Null Damage Wall
Max HP: 17901 (+4200)
Max ATK: 15174 (+5175)
Max SPD: 245.73 (+86.70)
SS: Bash+Spread Shot
Bump: Homing 18 (3294)
Sub: Ex Laser S (2706)

Recommended Monsters
Queen Butterflight (Asc)
Marie Antoinette (Asc)
Margarite
Nanami
Non-Wood NGB monsters

Thoughts
She deals with the gimmicks in the dungeon which are mines and DW. Her homing can mob clear as well.

She is also easy to farm for max luck since you can use popular max lucks like QB and Marie. 

Other Bosses
Poltergeist (Evo): She is like a wood version of Gargoyle with Flight and NDW for abilities and she has a homing bump. Not a bad max luck but she does take more damage in the dungeon than Gargoyle.
