Welcome to the definitive speed team strategy guide for Etheria: Restart, focused exclusively on conquering Doki Doki Inferno with precision, consistency, and high-efficiency clearing times. Whether you're grinding for specialized cores, building out your shell sets, or prepping for the next 2x event, this masterclass is your blueprint to not only build the right team but also to understand why it works.
Let’s unlock the full potential of this battle-tested composition and get you farming smarter, not harder.
Understanding the Inferno Meta: Why Speed Matters
The Doki Doki Inferno dungeon is infamous for its randomized enemy enhancement mechanics, elemental disadvantages, and multi-phase punishment. The faster you can break through the first wave, the higher your chance of surviving the second. Time, speed tuning, and optimized synergy between units aren’t just useful here—they're essential.
Farming on 2x drop rate events becomes a game of efficiency. You don't want a five-minute slog for each run. You want surgical consistency, ideally clearing in under 70 seconds.
That’s where this optimized speed team comes into play.
Core Team Breakdown: Units, Roles, and Build Goals
This is not just a plug-and-play setup—it's carefully constructed to ensure overlap in utility, safety nets for RNG, and maximized DPS during critical turns.
Freya on Revelation: The Trigger for Momentum
Freya is the pulse of this comp. Her placement on the Revelation artifact isn’t just for flavor. It’s a tactical move. It allows her to serve as a soft opener and damage amplifier by reducing the first wave enemies to around 60% HP, prepping them for Mocha’s sweep.
Build Priorities: Speed > Crit Rate > HP (Optional survivability)
Why Revelation? She sets up the perfect domino for Mocha. No Revelation = reduced AoE impact = risk of wave 1 stalls.
Clauss: The Enabler
While not latticed, Clauss still plays a crucial role by providing AoE Defense Down and Speed Down. Her early action ensures that Freya and Mocha hit harder, faster, and with minimal retaliation.
Build Priorities: Speed > Effect Accuracy
Artifact: Codex of Magic
Caveat: If she misses both debuffs due to RNG (which happens), your run slows, but rarely fails.
Kazio the Revery: The Slumber Specialist
Kazio controls the second wave. His role is to apply AoE Sleep on the second wave, setting up your second Mocha attack.
Build Priorities: Speed > Effect Accuracy > HP
Artifact: Codex of Magic
Skill 3 Latticed: Yes, fully recommended.
Note: While the game's RNG may occasionally resist his sleep debuff multiple times in a row, the overall strategy remains solid.
Valyan: The Guardian Wall
Valyan may appear passive, but her job is crucial. As the only non-negative element to the enemy team, she baits attacks, protecting squishier units. She also provides teamwide buffs such as Defense Up and Immunity.
Build Priorities: HP > Resistance > Speed
Latticed? Optional. Her role is absorbent, not proactive.
Possible Replacements: Kachi the Guard for similar tanking with added immunity.
Real Mocha: The Executioner
This is your primary wave killer. Her AoE needs to be tuned perfectly to capitalize on Revelation’s opening. She must be able to delete at least one ad in the first 3 hits of her skill, or the splash damage diminishes drastically.
Build Priorities: Attack % > Crit Damage > Speed
Skill 3 Latticed: Absolutely.
Why Not Run Codex? Mocha’s job is damage. Revelation is a waste on her.
Team Synergy in Action: Turn-by-Turn Combat Flow
Let’s map out a sample run. This assumes optimal conditions, average RNG, and full gear setups.
Phase One - The Opening Blow
Turn 1: Clauss goes first, attempts Speed Down + Defense Down.
Turn 2: Freya follows, procs Revelation. Damage dips enemies below 60%.
Turn 3: Kazio preps next wave with cooldowns.
Turn 4: Real Mocha unleashes her AoE skill. If built correctly, this wipes the entire wave.
Phase Two - Second Wave Suppression
Turn 5: Clauss reuses debuffs via Codex.
Turn 6: Kazio applies Sleep.
Turn 7: Mocha wipes again.
Outcome: Average run time: ~1:02 to 1:05.
Advanced Tech: Why Targeting Matters
Doki Doki Inferno features two security guards (A and B). Based on internal enemy AI patterns:
Security Guard A often gets enhanced by Dokyoki.
You should always focus down Security Guard B first to prevent enhancement buffs from delaying your run.
The Valyan absorbs enemy focus due to elemental targeting, meaning your speed team remains untouched, reducing run fail chances significantly.
Flex Options and Strategic Variations
Not everyone has this exact team. Here are some viable substitutes:
Replacing Valyan
Kachi the Guard: Brings Defense Up, Immunity, and tankiness. Slightly alters your team speed sync but worth considering.
Subbing Out Freya
Salins on Revelation: Syncs well with Kazio and Mocha. Arguably faster. Allows for more utility control.
Adding Lily?
Pros: Speeds up Mocha's next turn.
Cons: Disrupts turn order; can push Mocha ahead of Kazio, ruining the setup. Not worth the speed unless you re-tune.
Gear and Shell Requirements
You don’t need top-tier, god-roll gear. But there are minimum stat thresholds for the run to work consistently.
Real Mocha:
Attack: 3500+
Crit Rate: 80%+
Crit Damage: 200%+
Speed: ~190+
Freya:
Speed: 220+
Crit Rate: 70%+
Kazio:
Speed: 215+
Effect Accuracy: 90%+
Clauss:
Speed: 210+
Effect Accuracy: 85%+
Valyan:
HP: 25k+
Speed: 180+
Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
Even optimized teams can suffer from poor RNG or build errors. Here's what to watch out for:
Missed Debuffs: Happens often with Clauss. Ensure you’re maximizing her Effect Accuracy.
Mocha Under-damaging: Review shell set. Check attack thresholds and skill 3 lattice.
Valyan Dies: Re-check her HP and resistance. She should never fall first.
Sleep Misses on Wave 2: Rare but run-killing. Raise Kazio’s accuracy and speed sync to avoid overlapping turns.
Why This Works During 2x Events
In double-drop windows, every minute saved multiplies your efficiency. Over an hour of farming, this team will outperform slow, bulky comps by 40-60% more clears. That means more cores, more shell pieces, and faster progression into harder content like Aurora Speed Raid.
Consistency over perfection is the mantra. This team won't always run flawlessly—no team does in Etheria Restart. But it runs fast, and it runs often, with high uptime.
Final Thoughts: Crafting Consistency in Chaos
You don’t need full lattices across the board. Only Mocha, Kazio, and optionally Clauss require skill 3 investments. Everyone else can be budget-built with proper gear. That makes this team accessible, efficient, and future-proof.
If you're still using a slow-but-safe comp (like Shiata), this guide should encourage you to step up. The difference in performance is night and day. With proper setup, you can churn through Inferno stages at warp speed, collect better gear faster, and finally prep for the elite-level raids ahead.
Screenshot Your Builds, Sync Your Speed, and Start Farming
You now have a fully detailed, high-efficiency team guide for Etheria: Restart’s Doki Doki Inferno stage.
If you have the units, you can replicate this with minimal investment.
If you don’t, the flex options give you room to experiment.
Now it's up to you. Farm smarter. Farm faster. And dominate Doki Doki Inferno with surgical consistency.
See you in the next raid.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this speed team viable without latticed skills?
A: Mostly yes. Only Real Mocha and Kazio require fully latticed Skill 3 for consistency. Clauss benefits from lattices but can function without them. Freya and Valyan can be run without any lattice investment.
Q: What happens if Clauss misses both Defense Down and Speed Down?
A: Your run will be slower, not necessarily a failure. Mocha might need a second attack on wave one, which can throw off speed tuning slightly.
Q: Can I replace Real Mocha with another AoE DPS?
A: Technically yes, but Real Mocha is ideal due to her burst potential and synergy with Revelation-triggered HP thresholds. Substitutes may slow down your clear times.
Q: What are the bare minimum gear stats needed?
A: Real Mocha should have at least 3.5k ATK and 200% Crit DMG. Clauss and Kazio need 85–90% Effect Accuracy and over 210 Speed. Freya benefits from speed and Crit Rate but is more forgiving.
Q: How do I speed-tune my team?
A: Ensure Clauss > Freya > Kazio > Mocha in turn order. Mocha must always act last to clean up both waves with full buff and debuff stacks in place.
Q: Does this team work in auto mode?
A: Yes, it works perfectly in full auto once you lock in the speed and target sequence (always prioritize Security Guard B first).
Q: What if I don’t have Valyan?
A: Replace her with a tank that can draw aggro, like Kachi the Guard. Just make sure your replacement brings either Defense Up or some form of survivability.
