[Blue Archive] Total Assault Nov/Dec 2025 - Goz Indoor Level 1 Sensei Challenge Hardcore Version

Goz... is an interesting boss. And was pretty hated before the rework. With the rework, however, it is far more consistent to clear Goz on Torment or below. Now, before we look into better clears, let's visit the Level 1 Sensei Challenge.

The rules of the Level 1 Sensei Challenge are as follows:
We will be borrowing a DPS, ideally a popular, easily borrowed DPS
All Striker students must be level 1 except for the borrowed DPS
All students must not have any skills that can buff the borrowed DPS
All students must not have any skills that can debuff the enemy

I do not have 2 level 1 Special students that satisfies both conditions 3 and 4. Therefore, I brought my level 20 Ayane Swimsuit instead. Her damage contributions are about as good as a level 1, so don't worry about it

We've already seen in the previous video that
Goz's mechanics make it hard to solo DPS carry
Wakamo can only clear Very Hard
Kuroko performs poorly on solo clear

If you are interested to see the video (as well as learn about Goz's raid mechanics), here's the video:    • [Blue Archive] Total Assault Nov/Dec 2025 ...  

Now, what if we relax the first condition, and allow any and all DPS borrows? Is there someone who can solo carry through Hardcore?

Surprisingly, the answer is yes! Her name is Izuna Swimsuit.

So, what makes Izuna Swimsuit special? A few things:
Izuna Swimsuit is a front position student. This means she will naturally have more HP than Wakamo and Shiroko Terror, who aren't front position students. This means she can tank Goz's attacks, as well as the mobs, for a while longer than the other two
Izuna Swimsuit's EX applies Focused Assault onto the target. What Focused Assault does is that it forces all students to target the enemy with this debuff. This is very relevant for Goz, as it allows you to ignore the mobs in Phase 1 and focus fire on Goz. With that, you can speed through Phase 1 and reach Phase 2 earlier, as long as Izuna Swimsuit can tank the mobs' attacks (which she can). Then, in Phase 2, Izuna Swimsuit's EX forces her to always attack the real Goz. This prevents you from wasting auto attack (AA) and Basic shots onto Goz clones
Her EX does decent damage for 2 cost, and her Basic also hits quite hard

With all these characteristics combined, you now have a DPS who can solo clear Hardcore Goz! Fortunately, I have exactly one Izuna Swimsuit borrow in my friend list, so I got to try her out. And as you can see, she clears Hardcore Goz really easily! The hardest part for you, if you want to try this out, is finding a friend with a good Izuna Swimsuit borrow. But don't worry, someone out there definitely has her as an assistant, because she is a core student in Lunatic Goz teams
