   Grand Oak Padraig kept my crappy Sand Devil team alive through many many many new stages. If you are stuck, and recently got him, slide him into your team.

   Are you trying to sleep him right after he wakes? Gotta wait 1 turn after to reapply sleep, also is your acc high enough? Even though it sounds like its a 100% when no buffs he can still resist if acc isnt high enough.

   Put in a bug report like I did. The more people put in a report the quicker they can fix it.

   I have struggled against Sand Devil with my Muckstalker and Aeila as well. The boss’s skills say that he can’t be put to sleep the same turn he wakes up. But even when I wait a turn or two to put him to sleep again, it says “Debuffs Blocked.” I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

   Muckstalker is glitched and does not apply a sleep buff 100% of the time the boss does not have any debuffs.
   I have put in a bug report ticket. This has cost me countless number of energy & multi battles while wiping my team runs over the last 2 weeks.

   I can beat stage 7 in 49secs with Ninja and Muckstalker only. Have not been able to get any higher though.

   Where’s Conelia?
8. Stan October 4, 2023 at 6:54 AM

   Can we get a stats chart for the various levels?
9. Jim July 24, 2023 at 2:24 AM

   Wouldn’t Noct the Paralyzer be useful? Don’t even see him on the list
10. Gregory P Bowerman June 13, 2023 at 9:25 PM

    I used both Noct and Muckstalker without Ronda for several rounds and was able to get through level 5 consistently, but no luck on Level 6. I wasn’t aware that Godseeker Aniri could be so useful here, so I’ll try her when she’s leveled up.
    Thanks for your suggestions.
11. MasterGorax June 13, 2023 at 5:37 AM

    How come you didn’t put Godseeker Aniri here yet? She is kind of meta for Sand Devil
12. Clark Scholl June 3, 2023 at 2:00 AM

    You are supposed to put the boss to sleep. Putting him to sleep allows you to place other debuffs, as well as increasing the damage you deal.

    He wakes up from sleep after a certain number of hits. So don’t bring lots of multi-hitters. Ronda may be a bad choice.

    For sleep, I bring Muckstalker. He has a 2-turn sleep, and he’s farmable from campaign.

    I’m using Noct, Ursala, Turvlold, Ronda and Altan, all 6*60, full skills. armor and masteries, and I can beat Stage 5 of the Sand Devil maybe half the time. Never beaten stage 6. It’s completely possible that I just suck at Raid, but I wonder if I’m just missing something simple.
14. Dragnier May 16, 2023 at 6:22 PM

    Why is Vrask not in this list? I have him and Minaya duo sand devil 10 with so-so gear. They just need to survive the AOEs and restore their max hp back to maximum before the sand devil wakes up so that he can’t heal himself. It’s slow but very consistent. I have another Vrask that I’ll build with a daze set to see if he will be a good addition.

    JiraeHuePo: The stream of shards (and books) will start once you reach NM Ultimate Chest. (2x if boss goes down=look for a strong clan!!) Your main goal is to organise a CB team and put your bonusses and gear into that team. The game really starts from that CB NM point. Good Luck!
16. JiraeHuaPo April 29, 2023 at 11:41 PM

    I have literally none of those champions. Shards are so rare in this game. How do people get so many legendaries and epics?
17. DarkalPrime April 29, 2023 at 10:54 PM

    Stage 6: Wythir, Archbishop Pinthroy, Conellia, Valla and Skyl works but they can’t finish stage 7.
18. JiraeHuaPo April 21, 2023 at 11:46 PM

    Great strategy! All I need are both of those champions.
19. _PocoK_ April 21, 2023 at 11:25 PM

    Stage 7: Ninja+Aniri. Done.
20. Jim Hicks April 15, 2023 at 1:04 AM

    I can consistently beat stage 7. Hellhound is an easy to get Common champ with Sleep on his A1. I have Taras (Legendary) as a damage dealer that can restore his own damaged MaxHP. Rotos (Legendary) can increase his MaxHP while destroying MaxHP on the Sand Devil. Tagoar (Epic) revives, heals, +SPD, shield, and will reduce damage received on champs with <50% HP. Rakka Viletide (Legendary) has SPD aura, revive, heal, etc. Other champs I can swap in are Chaagur 9legendary) with sleep and good attack, Ghostborn (Legendary) with Sleep gear, heal reduction, -DEF, and an ACC aura.

    The biggest issue I have is with the lost MaxHP and champs that continually heal themselves (Lifesteal gear for example). If a heal occurs while the Sand Devil is awake it could simply bring HP up to what's left of MaxHP without restoring any lost MaxHP. This leaves no room for a heal when the Sand Devil is asleep and no restored MaxHP. The Sand Devil just keeps destroying MaxHP until there is no HP available at all, it's not limited to X% of original MaxHP.

    I would like to see a list of champs like Taras that can restore their damaged MaxHP. I know there is a Blessing for healers that can do it. I wish there was some gear that could do it.

    I got to stage 6 using Riho Bonespear, Madame Serris, Conellia, Apothecary and Scyl.
    After stage 3 i have to manual.
    I don’t have too many champions that have a good sleep debuff.
    Conellia, seems to do the job for now.
    Healers, debuffers and applying sleep is the way.
    Having Riho on the team is great for when the sand devil sleeps, I use Riho’s A2 and get those debuffs in.
    This enemy is tough but there is way.
22. Ice1980 April 9, 2023 at 5:17 AM

    Can’t even beat the stage 5 with 300k power team… His first attack removes 80% of everyones hp and it can’t be healed back. Heals have nearly zero effect. The boss is seriously bugged. Sleep champions don’t help as the boss wakes up instantly after a successful sleep debuff has been applied.

    Luckily the rewards are not worth farming as they give very little buff to gear. 200 hp or something
23. Ashley April 8, 2023 at 11:43 AM

    Guys I just beat Stage 7 with Miscreated Monster, Ninja, Scyl, Tyrant lxlimor and Ultimate Galek.
24. Ashley April 8, 2023 at 11:27 AM

    I beat stage 6 with Rugnor, Cleopterix, Royal Huntesman, Ultimate Deathknight and Brakus. All level 60.
25. Ashley April 8, 2023 at 11:04 AM

    I am on Stage 6
26. JW March 21, 2023 at 9:02 AM

    where are the stats for this boss?
27. Beowulf March 14, 2023 at 7:12 AM

    Hi guys, I’m getting past lvl 2 using Kyoku, Acrizia, Seer, Ultimate Deathknight and Giscard – all level 60. It’s probably not the most efficient team but at least I can farm a small amount of Oil. Depending on the affinity of the Sand Devil, I have also been able to use Ronda, High Khatun and Coldheart to get past lvl 1. Hope this helps.
28. JiraeHuaPo March 13, 2023 at 3:35 AM

    @Rob I barely beat level 1 with three level 60’s and two level 50’s. I think you need to build a specific team with the proper skillsets and speed tuning.
29. MotherOfDragons February 28, 2023 at 11:50 PM

    Ayumi, any chance one day, we could get a best champs to use for this layout, like youve done for all the other bosses? That would really help me decide who to focus on, as I can’t get very far on this. Thanks for all your hard work!
30. Rob February 23, 2023 at 10:32 AM

    I tried this and still can’t beat lvl 1 using lvl 50 champions
31. iSimpforArbiter January 3, 2023 at 12:48 AM

    Happy New Year Ayumi and everyone! Whatever your dreams, I wish they come true.

    Can’t wait for in-depth guides on this and the Iron Twins dungeon. This is my favorite site when it comes to RAID, from the start when I saw it way back, it was so helpful, informative and structured. Whenever someone asks about RAID whether in-game or elsewhere, I tell them to come here (to both help them and since I can’t support Ayumi otherwise… :v)
