Recommendations
Note: This list may be inaccurate since it is only made by video observations.
 * The attackers must be dealing about 150 million damage every second on average per attacker (for 6 attacker party) or about 200 million damage per second on average per attacker (for 5 attacker party with a supporter like Bishop), assuming that Lotus is attacked about 90% of the time.
 * Bishops are very important as they have the Heaven's Gate buff, giving you extra lives. You are only allowed to die 5 times, and you may consume those lives faster than you realize. Heaven's Gate buff instantly revives you with full HP the moment your HP reaches 0 before the death count is reduced.
 * Phantoms can use their Penombre skill to dodge the vertical laser and Magicians can use their teleport to dodge all the laser. Mercedes can use their Aerial Barrage to dodge the horizontal lasers. However, other jobs have almost no way to dodge so they must have superb control.
 * The bottom right platform portal is connected to the top left platform portal and The top right platform portal is connected to the bottom left platform portal. Use these to dodge the lasers as well.
 * Heaven's Gate cooldown is 10 minutes. When you die, you will revive automatically after 30 seconds.
 * At the core stage, only revive after the vertical laser has moved past the spawn point or else if you revive too early, you can instantly die as the laser will deal damage instantly when you revive. However, if you have the Spirit of Freedom skill (Resistance link skill), then you can stay invincible to the laser for a short time.
 * Laser deals damage every 0.5 seconds so if you have instant revival skills and you accidentally touched it, move away from it immediately as it might cost you a life.
 * After core stage, platforms may fall occasionally. Avoid those platforms while they fall and step on it when they reached the ground to avoid the lightning shock skill.
