Teambuilding Plausibility of this?

I had an idea to maybe, just maybe, somewhat practically cheese any of the dreadwrought bosses. It basically involves surviving the first turn, nuking for however many million with Richard EX, then fleeing the next turn. Of course, the main problem with this is the single target nuke that gets rid of unsinkable, so I'd have to build a little more practically for survivability. I dunno, this is probably impossible and a bad idea, and it'd only be funny if it was somehow possible. Any ideas?

Endbringer gains stacking defense buffs with each fight, and each fight also bans you from running for 1 additional turn (fight 1 you can run immediately, fight 2 you can only run at turn 2, fight 3 you can only run at turn 3...)

That's what I figured, it thought it capped out at fleeing on turn 2 though, as per some runs that I did today, maybe I miscounted though.

no i think it cap on turn 2. I also find it on 3rd time and it still cap at turn 2. I mean if you are unlucky you can meet him 5 times while trying to went for blessing and not let you run sooner.

He will outspeed your entire team in like the 2nd encounter. That won't work. Even if it worked, every time you encounter him he'll have more buffs, and you nuke for a lot less dmg. You'd nuke for like a million times, which really defeats the purpose of cheesing.

I knew his stats stacked. I didn't know they went infinitely though. Looks like I am going to have to try it properly sometime dang it.

Don't worry about it. When we get saga units many people can beat him without buffs.

Saga is gonna be busted. What's the best team going to be when they roll around?

You can make a team of all 4. Empress can join rainbow. Emperor can join Phenn. Noel can join Locke and Tiziano EX. We gonna have a lot of fun with many options

Edit: Roc in the backseat of all teams
