Why is stratum 6 always so unpleasant?

Shock, fiends, undead that ended up having the Stygian Steeds chain... Is there some some sort of conspiracy to make stratum 6 as obnoxious as possible like there is for stratum 5 of the FSC gate, or is it just where everyone dumps all the minerals they don't want? ...if it's the latter, they really should get dumped into tier 1 instead.

I personally think it has

I personally think it has more to do with stratum 6 being, y'know, the final stratum, and ostensibly the hardest levels in the game. I mean, Vanaduke is endgame content, and he's no cakewalk, but combining the highest difficulty with some random selection of levels and sometimes random disbursal of monsters, and you have a highly variable murderfest. Also, people build specialty gear for Vanaduke and not other levels~

...that's my point. It's not as random as it should be.

If you ever play a stratum 6 different from vanaduke, then congratulations you deserve a cookie.

Conspire with minerals!

Poison often brings concrete jungles, which are pretty easy.

Oh, and Juances, I'll take that cookie.

You'll see I have Gold Survivor but haven't beaten Vana yet.

I like poison in stratum 5,

I like poison in stratum 5, because it's quick and easy if that chain comes up, so I can farm recipes quickly if I need to. ...it probably wouldn't be so great in 6, though, since the rewards wouldn't be great. Still, I'd be happy to see poison in stratum 6, but I don't. ...why did you even bring it up?

If you ever see Poison in S5

If you ever see Poison in S5 and Beast in S6, you know it's going to be a very happy week for me.

Gremlin in S5 is also acceptable, and possibly Jelly if there's no Scarlet Fortress.
