The Thumb MDE【Max Desperado, Burn, Tremor】

1. Just pick any pack at this point since the team is at its strongest, especially when you're able to encounter the Hidden Bosses (such as Valencina and Matthias) which give giga buff for the team.
2. Ideally you would want to go for the easiest since this is the hardest pack with all 60 Adversities.
3. The listed pack is preferably all the easiest pack available, Bridle of Infinity is very easy no need to explain, Fairy Tale since it's mainly a very tanky boss fights back to back it made it easier to secure clashes, and The Master of La Manchaland is also easy since you can just skip phases if you managed to deal hella damage, if not then he's just one boss with giga tanky health which is no problem at all.

1. This pack is pretty much riddled with RNG so choose the best reward and shop changes for whenever it appeared during F5-10.
2. Best one to get is Jolly Plushie (Sad Plushie + Pom-pom Hat + Huge Gift Sack) & Shadow Monster (Snuffed Lantern + Snuffed Candlestick).
3. Get Gift (Packaging Box + Packaging Ribbon) only if possible to fuse. If not then prioritize Jolly Plushie and Shadow Monster.

1. Darkflame Smoking Pipe will buff [Rodion] The House of Spiders: The Thumb Nursefather regardless of the fact that she doesn't have a skills
2. Gear Shrapnel, CQC Manual is a good general buff especially for the Thumb IDs.
3. Implicit Contract Renewal is not important, but if available just get it.

1. Main appeal for the build is Max Desperado so naturally going into this pack is also important.
2. Desperado will buff all of the Thumb ID (except for [Heathcliff] The House of Spiders: The Thumb Apprentice since he doesn't have ammo lol).
3. Pink Bouquet is good buff for skills.
4. Harmonics and Walking Bass is not super important but their buff is nice to have.

1. Welcome to the Extreme. Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here, or not since this team is goated lol.
2. For the Capo is important to buff [Rodion] The House of Spiders: The Thumb Nursefather and its conditionals is easily met since all of the Thumb IDs have skill 3s.

1. Not super important so if not available you can substitute it for A Midspring Night's Dream 2, Code Purple, or Line 3 to get EGO Gifts that gives more survivability.
2. Rules of the Middle is good for [Meursault] The Thumb East Capo IIII since ideally most of his skill will be upgraded to Tanglecleaver [快刀亂麻] which is a skill.

Mirror Dungeon team aimed for maxing out The Thumb ID potentials for MDE with capability to fulfill burn-tremor fusions conditionals, max Desperado conditionals, and have burst damage option via Time Moratorium & core tremor EGO skills ([Faust] Everlasting & [Hong Lu] Cavernous Wailing).

Pros:

• 6 Tremor & 5 Burn for Burn & Tremor Fusion EGO Gift.
• Time Moratorium via [Don Quixote] T Corp. Class 3 Collection Staff.
• Burst damage with [Faust] Everlasting & [Hong Lu] Cavernous Wailing during Time Moratorium.
• 8 Ammo ID to fulfill all conditionals of Desperado.

Cons:

• Faust literally burning up in flames if not treated carefully ( A.B.S Max Attunement 【Degraded Corrosion】). So make sure to use [Faust] Ardor Blossom Star before letting her max attuned into doom and despair.
• Faust, Don, and Hong Lu being not the best option to clash enemies with (especially in Extreme).
• If any member of the team died, you're lowkey cooked, especially if they're The Thumb or Burn ID.

Extra note:

• [Don Quixote] T Corp. Class 3 Collection Staff is picked for Time Moratorium and because she doesn't have an Ammo ID. Meanwhile, the other possible Time Moratorium ID is [Outis] T Corp. Class 3 VDCU Staff which is currently season-locked and Outis do have an Ammo ID which is [Outis] LCA Udjat Vanguard Team 3 Leader.
• [Faust] LCE E.G.O:: Ardor Blossom Star is picked for Burn Fusion EGO Gift conditionals and because the other option is instead running [Hong Lu] Liu Assoc. South Section 5 for the conditionals which is a worse option for clashes.
• If during F5-10 you didn't get Line 1 or Miracle in District 20 BokGak then go to any Themepack that rewards Searing Brass.
• If during F11-15 you didn't get Complete & Total Extermination then go to A Midspring Night's Dream 2 for Kkomi's Mini-Gift, Code Purple for Mid-range K Corp. Ampule, or Line 3 for Unhatched Embers instead for more survivability.
• There's a possibility for alternate route:
  • Gift searched Red Tassel instead of Emergency Investigator Badge.
  • F3: Full-Stopped by a Bullet.
  • F4: Early LCB Regular Check-up BokGak instead of A Certain World.
  • During F5-10 go to Mnestic Experience for The Book of the Homeland Swordplay [本國劍譜] (Red Tassel + Unadorned Sword-guard + Overused Whetstone) and pretty much every unique EGO Gifts from this pack.
  • Of course since Emergency Investigator Badge replaced by Red Tassel on gift searched, you need to pray for Emergency Investigator Badge reward or for it to appear in shop during Timekilling Time BokGak. Or just not, whatever, it's just for survivability.
• The written alt route above is possible since the team has a lot of skills especially for [Rodion] The House of Spiders: The Thumb Nursefather since she is the main DPS carry of the team and essentially what it gives is more damage towards skills instead of getting Bind, Defense Level Down, and more Tremor from Handheld Mirror.

1. Get Haunted Shoes for Hoarfrost Footprint (Haunted Shoes + Frozen Cries) fusion for easier clash.
