Last floor, unit composition

[Muh macht die Kuh]

I struggle on the last floor. Which unit types and compositions are recommended?

Stress builds are incredibly helpful despite the occasional construct. I had a great stress build that cleared the first 2 floors easy but really struggled in 3 and 4. Come floor 5 they were back in business. The main concern is bumping the stance that retaliates when you deal direct stress. The boss however is a whole level of pain which I am still sorting out.

I had two parties which utterly wrecked the last floor without taking any damage.

First was a crit build with bride / mummy / banshee / vamp. Everyone was at 80-90% luck after a few rites of carnage, and then it was just a matter of shuffling the enemy team around with the mummy and getting the turn order right to keep everyone stunlocked with vamp / bride stuns and banshee ult.

Other party was a hilarious evasion party with wraith / banshee / shade / shade. All units had 75%+ evasion (wraith was starting at 100), and with the right artifacts and shade accuracy debuff it was pretty easy to keep enemy accuracy too low to hit them at all. There's some minor synergy to do stress damage with banshee stance and the wraith ult / shade accuracy debuff moving people, but mostly enemies would just kill themselves by missing the shades. Oh, and with shade's special item, they'd give you effectively infinite mana and wrath in the process.It was... entertaining. Especially when one of the light elementals killed itself from full health in one hit on a crit shade retaliation.

Both of these build rely on having high level minions and the right artifacts, but by the last floor you should probably have enough decent brains saved up to pull it off. I'm also not sure how well the evasion build would work against elites on the higher difficulties, but I think with spells and smoke bombs you could still pull it off pretty well.

Shade - Wraith - Lich - Widow owns the 5th floor (and most floors to be honest just not the 2nd or 4th bosses), just be very very careful versus Paladins. You might want to trade the Lich for a Mummy.

I'm using Shade Wraith Vampire Zombie and finish every fight with full hp no issues so far, we'll see how the boss goes tomorrow.
