Side note before I pass out: one of the reasons for this fight was to give an excuse to introduce the P-frame without making you 2v2 Shiva-Sil or some shit.
Of course, that's limited by what you vote for, so if you'd rather just shoot at her normally...

I've got the kernel of a plan. Spells can't be intercepted and Lucky has a five-spells-per-action ability. Have Lucky ZOTT Sixth Heaven with a quintuple Dragon's Breath.
I tried using AnyDice to see what the expected damage would be, but the function took too long to process. EDIT: Reducing everything by a factor of 1000 suggests that half the time Lucky will roll for more than 61,000 and 99% of the time more than 21,000 on a single cast of Dragon's Breath. (Assumes the attack for that looks like "War Book: Dragon's Breath: [best 1 of 2d25,000] + Spell Boost[1000 + {best 1 of 2d60,000}]")
I expect all Magical Girls are bullshit if you give them enough time to level-up.

This was assuming that we bought Lesser Gods though. We didn't, so we don't know what it does, and as such we can't plan for it.
You're thinking of the Progenitor Golems.
Progenitor Frame requires nothing of the sort.
Before anyone else casts any offensive Spells, wouldn't it be a good idea for Solid Drive to use her Spell which debuffs the target's Resilience?
The Demon King has 5000 Resilience, so a % based debuff to that is pretty substantial, especially when we've got a bunch of regular soldiers missing their bullets.
Also,
@crystalwatcher
Does the attacks/turn reduction from Overwhelming Presence render abilities such as Skilled impossible to use? In other terms, are those abilities usable if the number of required attacks is more than what you get in the entire turn?
Edit:
Also, does the protection from elemental magic offered by the Frost Dragon Armor protect against the fireballs launched by the Fires that Blaze in Hell ability?

Well, we still don't know how to get/activate it, so it's meaningless.
What I find amusing about this is that Nepgear's plan let us deal with basically everything, besides Seventh Heaven who as a top ranker is bullshit, without a single causality. Admittedly part of that is that we got lucky with crystalwatacher changing Omni-Caster to Calamity Circuit but from an outside perspective Nepgear pulled things off pretty flawlessly until she got struck down by a bolt form the blue.
Legends. That is the sort of thing Magical Girls do. People are going to be all "Did you fucking see Solid Core out there? It was genocide, localized genocide!" and then they'll ask "How the fuck does Team GEAR keep up with her? They've got three normal humans, so how haven't they splattered everywhere yet?" and be answered with "Because they aren't fucking human! They're all monsters. Every. Last. Member."
*Looks at Gabriel's Hell Beast Genocide*
*Notices how Gabriel specifically targeted their wings*
...I...do we need to teach Gabriel to take orders less or more literally?
Starshine MVP! MVP! MVP!
Huh. I never noticed until now that Starshine comes out of the Purifier Beam. I suppose it makes sense in retrospect.
Right. I completely forgot about +500 HDE in my damage calculations. So Starshine deals ~115% the damage, barring Obliterate and Unstoppable, of a forty megaton nuke against armies. Well I suppose if we fail to protect the Messengers, and survive, Alaya can take comfort in the fact Nepgear is a flying reusable nuclear bomb. Seriously even Rei can't match that kind of damage.
In fact on a turn-by-turn basis Rei can deal out 30,000,000 damage via Oblivion Awaits while Nepgear can, against armies, deal out 68,856,000 damage. Well technically it goes up to 136,623,360 damage if The Insurmountable Gap triggers on each attack.
...we need to go to Reluxus ASAP. I want to see some Army Purging Action!
Come on! It only increases the damage to 34,155,840.
You know. I bet all those human troops watching this couldn't help but think "Is this what it's like to watch Goddess Gold in action?"
@crystalwatcher - I think you made a mistake here. Nepgear in on the right side and Judgement Drive is on the left side. Solid Drive is the one on the right side:
That was a pretty impressive spell there.
...Well. We're lucky seeing Nepgear handily obliterate entire armies of demons with a single spell isn't triggering PTSD flashbacks.
...I don't remember Gabriel being that embarrassed:
she seemed more interested then embarrassed. I guess Nepgear must be projecting.
Huh. That's cool. I had no idea you could split up multi-hit attacks like that.
@crystalwatcher - Can we hit two separate targets with Celestial Severance since it's a Double-Cast? It's not something we'd generally want to do but I could see some use form that.
@crystalwatcher - I'm curious; why does Judgement have the Armor Pierce ability when it doesn't seem to do anything?
Wohoo! Supersonic blade strikes. No wonder they are a blur to poor Nepgear's eyes. She ain't got anywhere near the HSC needed to keep track of supersonic things.
See JC? You can help sometimes!
So. 28x Hell Beasts at XP gives XP. That must be a nice boost for JC.
...poor JC. Even in her big moment she's inferior to Nepgear. Nepgear's Starshine is compared to fireworks finales and the fist of god while JC's Judge Cannon is compared to a disco ball.
Not to mention that this:
while gory isn't anywhere near as cool as Starshine's causing Soul Reavers, and Hell Beasts, to simply cease to exist.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; he's the child of a supersoldier program not a natural human.
Hey! On behalf of the male gender I register my complaint with your sexist and stereotyping comment. Just because those three are nuts doesn't mean we all are!
Also WTH guys!? What part of:
is hard to understand?
Poor Nepgear. It's not the power armor or Core Connection that's the problem. It's just that unlike the rest of your team the Superhuman Trio have been through so much shit that jumping into a nigh endless hoard of demons doesn't even register anymore.
...Damnit JC! Simple. Instructions. WHY CAN NO ONE FOLLOW THEM!?
Best Weapon Name Yet!
I bet the gunship pilot is thinking "I have to get some shots in before Solid Core comes over and wipes them all out again. I don't want to get back to base and say we went up against legions of demons and that I didn't get a chance to kill even one of them!"
Remember when I said M.E.C.A Force was in trouble? This is why. This is what she should have been doing earlier on. The fact she wasn't able to open up on the enemy was a bad sign.
What the Drives are thinking: "Quickly! We've got to find the Summoners before our sisters are overrun!"
What's actually happening: "Total slaughter, total slaughter, I won't leave a single
Can we all just take a moment to note that I was right on Nepgear being a terrible person to send on this mission for collateral damage reasons. I mean we pretty obviously had to be here now given that JC and JD would be dead without us and the Messengers lost but still!
Oh and Nuke Comparisons Intensify!
You know for a second I thought this girl had some kind of Stranger power like Nice Guy. Then I remembered that Nepgear is immune to such things and was simply being her usual
Firefly lied to me! They apparently can take the sky from you.
Wait. @crystalwatcher I think you made a mistake. This:
Has Nepgear attacking first, incidentally that should Base Damage not Base Resilience, and being intercepted but the text above it has Sixth Heaven attacking first and Nepgear intercepting.
Incidentally Supremacy Zone is going to fuck us over if we're not very careful. Notice how damage quintuples both on the Intercept and the blow back? So unless our Intercept can flat out no-sell the attack, hint it can't, we'd just be making things worse for whoever we tried to defend.
Amusing how we seem to swing between concerned voices shouting Anastasia and Nepgear. Also I'm kinda surprised Nepgear was stunned so seriously. Nepgear is immune to body damage modifiers, so it can't be because she's hurt, and mental effects so what exactly is stunning Nepgear?
Sega has a healing spell. Is there a reason she isn't using it?
Well. I'd like to think we could get an "easy" victory by just targeting her Control Seal rather then her. But from the sounds of it she was already evil so that's not going to help.
Well. I do believe both all the Team GEAR vets:
and myself:
were correct when we called there being a DMG on the enemy side. We just never guessed how crazy powerful she'd be.
Oh and I called this all being a distraction for letting her close into range. Admitadly it was because we were all distracted with being happy over finishing up the Soul Revers but I call that close enough.
So. Did Sega cast that healing spell on Nepgear? Or is it just thanks to stalling long enough, thanks Sixth Heaven for monologuing, for Gabriel's Aura of Light to heal everyone? Nepgear's damage should have taken two turns to fix, twenty seconds, and I can see that chat going on long enough.
Heh. I like how we get so little XP for saving everyone. It's just become so common it's not really worth anything anymore.

You must've missed that conversation. When Core Purge is used with at least one of the Drives near Nepgear, that activates it.

I have no idea about anything. ;_;
Uh. If Aquila can leave the battle range she can shoot twice, maybe. I don't think that helps, unless her attacks then wouldn't be "caught".
Gabriel killed a grand total of zero dudes these turns, so Road to Peace is worthless here.
Core purge is an active ability, so that won't work.
Urgh.
So... anyone who attacks her will get 2500 plus 75% of their own base damage to the face. Then increased by 125%. Then 1/3 of that from Echo of Peas. 2000 for the 30 shooty dudes. They all have 880 resilience and 500 health, so they ded. "Detonate" probably means that most of their friends are dead, too.
M.E.C.A. Force has basically no hax.
Would it be Staccato of Slaughter against the Demon King's attack or would each individual attack have to break through? 'Cause the first would just kill the baddies.
I spent half an hour and this is literally all I have.

Ok, I've got two plans.
[X] Plan Upgrade 2.0
-[X] Purcgase Lesser Gods (550)
-[X] Purchase Segarite Core (2000)
-[X] Upgrade Celestial Severance to level 10 (170)
-[X] Upgrade INDESTRUCTIBLE CORE to level 20 (1450)
Total XP Cost: 4170
Upgrade 2.0 massively increases our survivability, upgrades Celestial Severance' Base Damage to 25,600, and upgrades our teammates.
[X] Plan Kill the Skeleton Bitch
-[X] The soldiers, including Team GEAR and M.E.C.A. Force, will all rain synchronized fire upon Sixth Heaven and her Demon King.
--[X] Gabriel will switch to her Soul-Severer and join in the firing.
-[X] Lucky will activate her Avatar of Arcana ability, then begin spamming Dragon's Breath all she can.
-[X] Judgement Drive will cast Changing Faith to make it seem like we're on Sixth Heaven's opposite side, then begin spamming Sword Beam.
-[X] Judgement Core will wait for an opening, then cast The End.
-[X] Solid Drive will cast Clothing Break on the Demon making, then take Solid Core to an area where no one can see them.
-[X] Solid Core will activate Core Purge after Solid Drive casts Clothing Break.
This plan is based around murdering the crap out of Sixth Heaven. Even if the Demon King can intercept the mass of gunfire, it can't hurt the soldiers without getting closer to them. Gabriel has a gun, so she'll use it. Judgement Core stands the best chance of taking her down in a single shot, so she's waiting for an opening. And finally, I want to see that P-Frame.

That's not how you use Drama. The big attack needs to be the one that goes last, with an appropriately witty one-liner.
[] Plan Highway to The End Game
-[] Judgement Drive uses Changing Faith to make Sixth Heaven and/or The Demon King ignore Judgement Core.
-[] The Soldiers and M.E.C.A. Force open fire at the Demon King at the same time to get those sweet Synchronized Fire Bonuses.
-[] Lucky activates Avatar of Arcana and penta-casts War Book: Dragon's Breath.
-[] Judgement Core casts The End Game to obliterate that bitch and her pet skellington.

Kinda shot yourself in the foot for that. Unless something's going to rouse Solid Core she can't send out the Core Purge signal.
Also, Sixth Heaven can shoot anyone she pleases for between

How do you figure this? Would it not just toss free intercepty fireballs at them?

Because it's primarily a melee weapon, from what I'm gathering. Thigh I suppose it couldn't hurt to check...
@crystalwatcher, can Sixth Heaven and/or her Demon King Intercept with Fireballs?
Not true! 40 Hell Beasts attacked and JC killed 28 so logically Gabriel killed the remaining 12. The question is if Gabriel gets the credit for them dying on impact with the ground because she cut their wings off?
Historically, yes.

If we talk one of our friends into committing suicide, will that activate Gehaburn and thereby snap us out of our cutscene-induced helplessness?
They would probably have to seppuku with Purifier Beam.

Samael can't cancel the spell. It's fire-and-forget.
Yes.
Well, OOC we know that Judgement Core is also capable of triggering Progenitor Frame, so it's just a question of if she can activate Core Purge right now out of sheer frustration at her feelings of uselessness.
We also need to know if the immunity to elemental spells offered by the Frost Dragon Armor applies to the fireballs.

Shit. Ok then...If they do Intecerpt, how does that work? Like, will they meet halfway, closer to Sixth Heaven, closer to the Soldiers? Does the Fireball use the Base Damage of whoever's casting it? Does it go against the Synch bonus, or does it go against some single unlucky bastard's individual damage? Do Overwhelm and/or Godlike Strength apply?
Plus this.

New plan. It's technically not an attack if Judgment Drive does a supersonic Ramming Speed right at-
Fucking fuck, she can't fly. Nevermind.
