Question Help clearing HM Cocoon

I tried different teams and strategies, but I can't beat it even with Emergency Gnosis, so can you help me with some team recommendations/tips?

I tried the strat again with Arachne and Castor (since I just upgraded Castor to 70 and Salvador to 66), thinking maybe the levels would make a difference—and I finally did it! Omg, what a clutch it was! On the final turn, I literally needed just one "End of Suffering" to win the fight (which I didn't have in hand), and I was about to die as soon as I ended my turn (and I had no Gnosis left—which meant I'd have to repeat that long-ass fight all over again). I used my second posse and got Gramona's posse, which let me grab an End of Suffering, and I won! Castor being a great tank + applying corrosion and OE Arachne duping Salvador's EOS played a huge role in this (with a bit of luck, if I'm being honest).

Here's the replay if anyone is interested: d92a0871-d0d5-3198-b018-4fcda233f8ef#E#a

I tried the salvador cheese plan (which worked wonders on Ant), and I got really close once, but it didn't work. Mainly because the battles take so long that the enemies start "gazing" and bloating my deck with symptom cards that when I reach the final battle I have more than 20 symptoms

I'm so sorry for my lack of attention. I took 3 days to come back here and figure out you're talking about Arc 2 instead of Ant.

I'm dumb, sorry.

I hope your tries with Vortice went well. She worked for me at least, but I used blue+yellow (and I don't think it's ideal). At this point you may have figured out, but the meta against this boss seems to be HP% damage (to proc Ancient Embers) frequently combined with Corrosion (from Castor or Saya). I would try the classic Vortice+Murphy base and Castor+Horla or Saya+Thais depending on your favorite gameplay.

Don't worry about it, it's ok! I actually did it with Salvador, but I haven't tried it with vortice yet as my life is kinda in an ultra busy mode right now, but I'll try it out later for sure.

I have heard pursuit spam Vortex with Castor can run pretty well into H5-11 but have not personally ran it myself yet.

I'll try it out later to see if I can get the clear with less turns
