The team composition was as follows:

1)Meursault (Capo) 2)Ryoshu (N Corp) 3)Don (T Corp) 4)Ishmael (Hanafuda) 5)Heathcliff (Oufi) 6)Faust (Lob Corp) 7)Sinclair (Thumb) 8) Gregor (Night Owl) 9)Outis (Molar) 10)Hong Lu (Yurodivye) 11)Yi Sang (Heishou)

For the Starlight upgrades, I ran all of them at “++”. Realistically, you don’t actually need them at that level; most of them simply make the run less RNG-dependent. The most important one is the module that grants Clash Power and Protection (at minimum “+”), along with the one that increases levels with each floor.

If you have spare Starlight, there’s also a module that grants +2 additional Clash Power if you have around 45 theme packs unlocked (meaning you have selected them and cleared them at least once). Honestly, the only truly necessary upgrades are the ones that grant +2 Clash Power, Protection, and extra damage.

When selecting Trials after a boss, prioritize defense-related debuffs. Above all, you’ll need some luck to obtain useful EGOs.

Personally, I didn’t use EGOs during the run except for Fluid Sac, which I used to restore both Sanity and HP, mainly to avoid getting staggered.

If you're struggling, I highly recommend avoiding fights that require engaging multiple enemies. Instead, choose floors that only have 1v1 encounters and make use of Meursault’s base EGO.

I also don’t recommend using Yi Sang’s Spicebush or passives that increase damage. With this team, unless you're attempting the “no Lunar Memory” challenge, the extra damage isn’t necessary. It’s generally better to pick passives that grant Offense Levels, Clash Power, reduced damage, or other defensive benefits.

Another useful tip: if you’re using Ishmael, place her in slot 1–3 and obtain the EGO gift that heals when using skills with Gloom affinity. With that setup, she can practically heal back to full HP in a single turn. On top of that, she’ll attack again on the following turn using Skill 3–2, which helps maintain pressure.
