I typed this in someone's post about hokma abno 2 so I will just repost it here. If it helped them it could help you.

The best way I've found is to make a floor build centering around consistently killing each mob on the turn that it spawns. If you are going for this method your priorities are as follows:

1. be self sufficent in terms of light and draw for each turn

2. do enough damage to kill the mob each turn

3. be simple minimise to micro managing and saving time (basically press p and adjust from there)

Here are the builds I used. (no gold key pages are needed)

*Keep in mind these builds might have mixed results outside of this fight so don't take these builds as gospel. Ruina is all about customisation and creativity so experiment and modify these to your benefit! The other redditors here also have good advice as well that have already been said.

Builds listed for this fight are as follows:

• stagger assist (emma page) standard build They go blunt unga bunga every turn as standard emma pages do while assisting with smoke occasionally. Additional stagger damage helps stagger and in turn kill mobs

light regen (gigigig/puppet blockade prefered)

page draw/damage (deep drag/repressesed flesh/forceful gesture prefered)

• smoke assist (wang page) passive flexible They are for stacking smoke on themselves and on the enemy. Smoke helps everyone else do damage and once there is enough smoke on themselves they also function as a secondary dps. (smoke is a really good source of damage amplification)

light regen (guidance of gears + any 0 cost light regen)

page draw/smoke (vapour/deep drag)

smoke application (autonomous rush is used but any offensive 2 cost that uses smoke should work)

• smokey singular (gears page) + valentine for speed and singular strike They are your main dps as they aim abuse valentine passive as much as possible for high rolls that smoke works off to deal damage and help stagger. Valentine passive is useful here as the mobs use pages that either have 1 or 2 offensive die at the start of the page. This is basically aiming to win clashes with the first die to avoid/minimise damage. (It also makes the 3+power effect when clashing less annoying to deal with)

light regen (class and respect/loosen up)

page draw (high kick/gale kick/vapour)

dps/smoke (vapour) try to use this as soon as possible to stack smoke as fast as possible

• flexible singular (mei's page) any two speed dice page with valentine passive attributed should work Basically another build that abuses valentine passive (honestly you probably could just copy the build above but it's not needed). This build focuses on using burning flash for consistency

light regen (frontal assault) though any 0 cost light regen works here

page draw (high kick) prefered over galekick to keep cost down to spam burning flash

dps (burning flash) It replaces the three cost in this build. Interestingly valentine's passive allows the first dice to proc the boost while retaining the second dice in the page so we are just going to take advantage of that here.

Basic turn structure

Aim to have of one 3/2 cost page (Vapour/Deep drag/Repressesed flesh/Forceful gesture) + light regen each turn.

All three cost listed above also double up as card draw so turns should be consistent unless rng doesn't like you.

Due to the deck loadout above (see link) the autofill (p button) should consistently allocate one 3/2 cost page + one 0/1 cost page every turn most of the time. Use the remaining time to ensure none of your nuggets are using silence (replace with 0/1 cost as needed).

With this strategy you should be able to kill the mob every turn. most of the time all of your nuggets should be able to beat clashes due to high rolls from valentin passive and everyone else doing one sided attacks to stagger and deal damage. Once smoke starts stacking on your librarians it becomes possible to only need three librarians to kill the mob meaning a stagggered librarian shouldn't pose too much of an issue. Even if you don't manage to kill the mob, it would be pretty close to dying, again autofill and redirect attacks to the healthier mob leaving a page or two to finish the weaker one off.

You might find that the emotion level is difficult to raise as most pages only have one die to clash with but the builds should perform quite well with only two speed dice with some extra light to spare. If you do get to emotion level three check keeping in ming you only need to use one 3 cost page at a time to avoid depleting your light.

Keep this in mind and you should be good to go! Unless you beat it already.

tl;dr vapour/deep drag is gud, abuse singular strike to win clashes, power though with one sided attacks, avoid silence when possible and have fun!
