v0.964

magic

• fusion

I use "Phoenix" to scatter high damage over a wide area, "Super Cyclone" to deal extremely high damage to nearby enemies, and "Blaster" to stabilize the early game.

I acquire them in this order: Blaster → Phoenix → Super Cyclone.

• Active magic

I assume anyone reading this doesn't need an explanation for why I pick skills like Shield, Cloaking, or Magic Circle.
So, I'll explain my reasoning for choosing Frost Nova and Lava Zone.

Frost Nova
I use Absolute Zero. This is because freezing enemies for longer helps when you need to avoid them.

Lava Zone
I use Melt. Due to a bug with its effect, this allows all of your spells to deal more damage to enemies than usual. Whether you have Melt or not will determine how long it takes to clear waves.

AF

• Legendary AF

Essential AF
I'll pick up Gaia, Ouroboros, and Accelerator to round out my stats, and Holy Chest to easily clear the waves after the 40-minute mark.

Recommended AF
I'd like to get Sacrosanct for synergy and damage reduction, Genome Map to reduce enemy HP, Creation for an effective 10% cooldown reduction, and Titan's Power, Uranium, and Overmind to boost my own damage output.

Good Optional AF
It's fine to pick up artifacts like Akashic Records to get additional passive spells by raising the level cap, Opulence to increase the number of artifacts you can acquire, or Crown which provides a powerful stat boost along with synergy.

• non leg AF

Essential AF
To make survival in the waves post-40 minutes dramatically easier, I'll acquire items such as Storybook, Force Field, Mana Shield, Organic Shield, Shadow Cape, Breeze, Carnival, Gravity Orb, Moon Crystal, Clockwork, Spiderweb, Wraith, Masked Ball, meat,worldtree leaf,Magic Seal, Peace Treaty, and Roster.

Furthermore, let's be proactive about acquiring other artifacts as well; such as Cogwheel and Pocket Watch for AF cooldown reduction; Pyramid for reducing Shield and cloaking Form cooldowns; Sample, Basilisk, and Virus to create Venom; numerous items like Broom and Magic Scroll for magic cooldown reduction; Blood Pack and Golem Core for more HP; Ether to level up faster; and Stained Glass to increase rune duration.

Recommended AF
You'll be in a good spot if you can get Dragonscale, Crucifix, and Aegis for damage reduction.

Good Optional AF
Here's a list of artifacts that are nice to have if you can get them:
Mutagen
Four-Leaf Clover
Pandora's Box
Keyring
Wave-calming Flute
Sulfur
Bouquet
Salamander
Harp　　　　

Strategy

• From 0:00 to 12:30

As long as you have Blaster and Phoenix ready, you shouldn't have any trouble clearing the 12:30 wave.

• From 12:30 to 25:00

All you need to do is create Super Cyclone. There's nothing difficult about it.

• From 25:00 to 37:30

For stats, the bare minimum is 500 Attack Power, 100 Amplification, and 70% Cooldown Reduction. You'll struggle a bit if your stats are lower than this.

I assume that for those of you taking the time to read this, it's already a given that having many of the aforementioned artifacts makes things easy.

• 40:00 Wave Guide

Alright, now for the main topic: clearing the 40:00 wave. This is where the race against Holy Chest's cooldown begins.

First, if you have around 77% CDR and 155% Duration, your Cloaking's cooldown should be about 9.5 seconds, with a duration of about 8.5 seconds. In this scenario, Holy Chest will activate after Cloaking triggers twice. Therefore, if you can survive the two periods where Cloaking is inactive before Holy Chest activates, you'll successfully make it to that first activation.

(For convenience, I'll refer to these periods—the time when Cloaking is inactive leading up to a Holy Chest activation—as Vulnerable Time or VT.)

During VT, your top priority is to avoid taking damage. With the stats mentioned earlier, your Shield's cooldown should be 5.5s, meaning it will only recover once during each VT. Therefore, the typical scenario is that you'll have a total of five shields for the initial VT and four for all subsequent VTs. You must keep the number of hits you take at or below the number of shields you have.

What's crucial here is to distance yourself from the horde, quickly find an open space within the wave area, and move to it. When the wave starts, enemies will swarm and encircle you, so your first task is to break out. To do this, instead of carelessly trying to push through the horde, it's vital to first lure them to one edge of the area before breaking away. This allows you to control their movement and consistently create an open, enemy-free zone within the area (this is all assuming you have the Peace Treaty artifact).

This empty space will constantly shift, so you must always be on the move, chasing the open areas to minimize hits and survive the VT.

Even if you manage to activate Holy Chest, it's not over yet.

What comes out must be either the Blue Rune or the White Rune. If any other rune appears, you head back into VT if you have Force Shield remaining. If you don't, it's time to reset.

Now, your strategy will change depending on whether you get the Blue or White Rune, so I'll briefly explain each.

First, for those who got the Blue Rune: Congratulations, you get to enjoy two more rounds of VT!

For those who got the White Rune, you can restore your shields to the same number you had at the start of the wave, and on top of that, you get to skip one VT cycle before the next chest. But don't let your guard down for a second.

Ideally, the wave should progress as described above: a cycle of VT → VT → Holy Chest (Blue or White). If you get Blue, the cycle repeats (VT → VT → Holy Chest). If you get White, the cycle shortens (VT → Holy Chest). If you can maintain this loop, the wave will end after about five Holy Chest activations.

However, you might think that realistically, it's difficult to keep activating only Blue and White runes. But rest assured, you don't need to get a Blue or White rune every single time.

For instance, if Holy Chest activates a total of seven times, two of them can be Red or Yellow. If it activates ten times, five of them don't need to be Blue or White.

However, please keep in mind that the more times Holy Chest activates, the harder the VT phases will become.

Additionally, I'd like to share a few important notes on how to dodge enemies.

When you're avoiding enemies, you don't always have to be constantly on the move. Try to buy yourself time by stopping your movement, coordinating with the number of enemies on screen and the moments they are temporarily paused by effects like Freeze or Clockwork.

Furthermore, if you're surrounded by a horde and have no shields left, try to escape using the Force Field effect. If that's not an option, brace for a hit and charge through the thinnest part of the enemy group. This should reduce the total number of hits you take in the end.

Note that in this situation, if Holy Chest or Cloaking is just one or two seconds from activating, it's better to stand still and wait for it to trigger. Just hope Evasion chance comes through!

Now, as reference videos for how to handle the VT, I want to show the movements during the 52:30 wave in the following two videos. Since the enemy composition is the same as the 40:00 wave, these should be the easiest to learn from.
Here are the links:

• From 42:30 to 45:00

The core strategy is the same as the 40-minute wave. However, the fight will likely drag on due to higher damage requirements, and with increased enemy attack power, each hit you take is more punishing. You'll need to dodge with much greater precision.

• From 47:30 to 50:00

This is a freebie section. If you die here, you're not cut out for Magic Survival.

• 52:30 Wave Guide

Welcome to the new wall.

At the 52:30 mark, you are required to survive the VT phases with a high level of precision, and that's after you've met the prerequisites of having Magic Seal and around 170 movement speed.

I've cleared the 52:30 wave in the video I mentioned earlier, so I hope you'll use it as a reference.

Please note that although I lose life in the video, it is possible to clear the wave without losing any lives if you play precisely.
...Of course, to do that, you'll need to keep getting Blue or White from the Holy Chest, though.

• 55:00 Wave Guide

Would you be mad if I said it's the same as the 52:30 wave?

But really, what you have to do doesn't change. If you don't want to lose a life, you just have to keep activating Blue or White from the Holy Chest. Or, you can just use a life to force your way through.

That said, losing a life here will make things much harder later on (speaking from experience).

I'll post a link to a video of me clearing the 55:00 wave, so I hope you can use it as a reference for your positioning.

I do use up life in the video, but as I said before, you don't have to die, you know? (It's a fucking grind, though, for real).

• 57:30 Wave Guide

I die at this point in the video above, but that's only because I didn't go through the painful grind of activating Blue or White from the Holy Chest. In reality, you should be able to get past this without losing a life.

Also, as you can probably tell from the video, a movement speed of 175 or higher is advisable.

postscript

I've updated the record and am posting it here.
