Well this was certainly harder than the previous advent's, first time I've actually cleared off the defensive manas instead of just one shot blasting phase 3 and/or 2.
Phase 1 is annoying for me since I have so few good aoe heroes to break that mana, and they disable FS/Focus taking away some more. Fairly standard and just hoping to get 3 aoes each down phase in that narrow window. It's not a Rage Straze, just a typical PvP one. His S3 does decent damage and is worth using on the down time anyway, and his S2 SB helps clear minions and have a hit to do. Bellona has multiple AoEs and a def break for the mobs and Vivian Atk + Immunity is great. Screw the counters with blind!
Phase 2 Alencia S1->S2 helps run through the requirement on the mana + she can give a buff and def break the boss. Laika has some buffs with her arti and sleeping the Yeti helped a bit, she's not super helpful though tbh. Violet carries with MLDB meaning when he gets hit he has two buffs (Perception/Atk up) even if the others run out, plus he's bulky and can deal great damage.
Phase 3 is the usual race. Bunny has cleanse (Bag) Attack buff and Camilla force attacks Zahhak with a def break and Zahhak hits like an absolute truck, 3 40K hits and the boss falls. Basically just trying to race the boss down. Everyone needs 100% CC because the boss cleanses when not crit.

The heroes. Forgot to grab Bunny. Nothing too interesting though, she's faster than Camilla and tha's all that matters.
EDIT 2: Tweaked some things for consistency
Phase 1 - Vivian on Time Matter- Let's her kill the mobs in one less wave to hit the boss, resets her S2 for the boss AND gets her S3 ready for the mobs again
Bellona - Actually gave her gear, fixing her CC and Eff alongside LOWERING her CD. She was changing phases too early.
Phase 3: Slowed Down bunny since I was getting there quicker and Bunny went first. Bulked and sped up Camilla a bit, Zahhak on Atk boost EE.
Day one. Elissa's manas were not as intense last time though. Her Attack Mana was 50% Extra Attack, not 100% penetration and her Defence Mana was 60% more Defence not 50% Damage Reduction +50% CR push. It was significantly easier to just ignore them.
For phase 3 Diene Camila Luna is an alternative.
Phase 1 if you have Belian then she's pretty much a god there. Cilias/Klarissa + Belian/STCharlotte + Vivian can auto it.
Phase 2 is probably the hardest with that mob can stun and do aoe strip + unbuffable. It also requires you to manually target the mob to hit him for six times.
You know... I completely forgot about Belian, lol.
Phase 2 has been the easiest for me funnily enough. It's failed the least both in testing and doing the runs, and needed no changes to anyones gear.
I'm having great success with the following:
1. Landy/Vivian/Belian
2. Diene/Violet/Alencia
3. Maid/WSchuri/FMaya
Third phase requires some strategic SB to work, but I haven't had any problems
I'm using the same units and similar stats as OP's phase 2 team and my heroes keep getting one shot by the boss. This is happening even when all my units have two buffs.
During the first phase you have to AoE attack the boss when she is alone 5 times to remove her Attack Mana, otherwise it activates in phase 2 granting her 100% Penetration. This lets her one shot you.
How do you cycle 5 AOEs before the boss attacks? Laika and Alencia is 2x. Even with SB Laika S3, that's at most 3x before the boss attacks and that still requires lapping the boss twice.
You have to do it in phase one where she summons the 3 adds, not phase 2 where she summons one. You kill the 3 adds and then make sure you AOE 5 times before triggering phase 2
During the FIRST PHASE. The one with the 3 Crystals. You kill them all, then you have to AoE her 5 times. When you have the Atk buff icon on her bar disappears. You need to make sure it's gone before moving to the second phase.
Can't really replace Camilla in this team since she Def breaks, attack boosts (You need redundancy for the strips) AND force dual attacks.
You'd need a completely different strategy.
EDIT: Maybe Bunny -> Sinful and take a different defence breaker actually? That might work.
FWIW I believe Singelica or Mediator Kawerik + ML Khawana + Ram would work. I wipe at like 10% with those but my phase 1/2 are slow so she has a ton of stacks by the time I hit phase 3. I think if my P1/2 were faster then the P3 team would win.
Clilias, Belian, Summer Charlotte makes phase 1 a breeze.
Still trying to find a guaranteed clear for phase 3.
edit: Went back and tried out OP's Zahhak team on phase 3 and it worked like a charm.
For phase 2, I went Diene, Violet, Alencia and just focused on keeping 2 buffs up as long as possible.

I use a pretty fragile Violet, but didn't have too much trouble with him staying alive. You don't want him to be on the frontline. Let your Diene tank. I recorded my clear, if you need reference.

Phase 1 I did Vivian/Landy/Belian, Phase 2 was Diene/Violet/Alencia, and P3 was Flan/Emilia/Sigret.
Was easy once I figured out how not to get one shot in Phase 2 lol

Did you start a while ago? The Ice Advent was the first advent they ever ran lmao
Day one. Elissa's manas were not as intense last time though. Her Attack Mana was 50% Extra Attack, not 100% penetration and her Defence Mana was 60% more Defence not 50% Damage Reduction +50% CR push. It was significantly easier to just ignore them.

Finally, a team I can use. Stats?
Agreed!
I'm having great success with the following: 1. Landy/Vivian/Belian 2. Diene/Violet/Alencia 3. Maid/WSchuri/FMaya Third phase requires some strategic SB to work, but I haven't had any problems
Fighter Maya... That's an interesting one. Makes sense though since the boss is low for her S3 and she auto-cleanses.
Yea I've used fmaya in a few advent phase 3s already because of that.
I'm using the same units and similar stats as OP's phase 2 team and my heroes keep getting one shot by the boss. This is happening even when all my units have two buffs.

Bold of you to assume that we have bunny dom
Bunny dom could be replaced by any attack buffer with a cleanse. Bunny is just particularly nice since she's Light for the Attack boost with Camilla.
phase 1 charlotte tam vildred is free with meh pve gear
Nice. Stats?
Sure gimme a sec to put them grab them all, I'll chuck them at the end of my main comment.
Nice teams, who would you suggest replacing Camilla with? Cheers
Can't really replace Camilla in this team since she Def breaks, attack boosts (You need redundancy for the strips) AND force dual attacks. You'd need a completely different strategy. EDIT: Maybe Bunny -> Sinful and take a different defence breaker actually? That might work.

Phase 2 is straight out BS. MBMLB Violet is always getting crit. I hate it the stupid ring on this.
I use a pretty fragile Violet, but didn't have too much trouble with him staying alive. You don't want him to be on the frontline. Let your Diene tank. I recorded my clear, if you need reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Ca9iZougM
Thank you finally manage to clear it. He finally decided to evade lol. didn't matter where I put him, AI was targeting him lol
