A question about final reception

[Neopwnz]

So when Argalia comes to you with his group you are forced to fight on each floor but will I be able to edit key pages and swap them between librarians during that phase?

[Hack_n_Slash]

You can edit and swap around keypages. However, once you complete a fight, those keypages are locked till the next layer.

[SmallGespenst]

the first phase is the roughest since you have four battles to do, including Malkuth, which is probably the single weakest floor.

[Alex Darkcrowne]

You can edit keypages after every layer.

That means you need to start with 4 floors ready: Malkuth, Hod, Yesod, and Netzach.

Asiyah is the hardest layer due to the number of fights, and, while I sincerely doubt Malkuth's status as the weakest floor, the fact that Philip is one of the strongest members of the Ensemble makes things rough.
Xiao's Page, built right, can solo this, though.

Briah (Tiphereth, Gebura, Chesed) is probably the easiest layer, simply because Tiph and Geb can solo theirs quite easily.
L'Heure de Loup (Gebura) is also a straightforward slugfest with no mechanics.
The Puppeteer (Chesed) is also fairly straightforward.

Azitluth is a bit tricky.
Blood-Red Night (Binah) is barely a threat; her tag-along is the real danger for this fight.
Yesterday's Promise (Hokma), however, is generally considered the toughest Ensemble member to fight, due to his very exacting mechanics. Blockma shines here, but it's still a tricky fight to get through.

The last fight is just The Blue Reverberation vs. The Black Silence, which makes it pretty simple to get through.
