    the goal is to deal individual hits to dong dong chiang as quickly as possible, while also pushing him to the right side of the map to minimize walking time after he is dead. no matter your class, you should attack towards the right whenever possible. because all damage you deal to him is 8888 (with the exception of snipe) and his only attack that does more than 1 damage is a 1/1 attack, none of your stats matter except avoid and weapon speed.

    DISCLAIMER: I don't play all of these classes. BM/NL/sair/hero/dk/IL/FP are theorycrafted and information may be incorrect. if you've discovered a faster technique, please let me know.

    marksman: equip maple crow/nishada/pyrope crow or heckler. summon frostprey. (optional: puppet to stop 1/1.) power knockback to the right (not all the way) and use snipe+strafe combo. when he summons dogs, jump and pkb midair to separate boss from dogs and continue attacking. buffs: booster, blind, focus, soul arrow, mw.
    bowmaster: summon phoenix. (optional: puppet to stop 1/1.) power knockback to the right and use hurricane. ignore dogs or inferno them once. buffs: booster, focus, soul arrow, mw.

    night lord: triple throw. buffs: booster, shadow partner, shadow stars, mw. use cheap stars.
    shadower: savage blow only. can pickpocket + meso explosion to one-shot dogs, but killing them isn't necessary. buffs: booster, mw.

    buccaneer: barrage + grounded flash fist 2x OR energy drain 2x between barrages. jump-attack to the right while barraging. stay within dong dong chiang so bubble can do damage. buffs: booster, SI.
    corsair: if spawned to left of dong dong chiang: bullseye, use rapid fire. if spawned to the right: octopi 1x when you see him, move to his left, bullseye, use rapid fire. ignore dogs or flamethrower them once. buffs: booster, mw.

    mage: summon ifrit/elquines/bahamut. use magic claw. stay within dong dong chiang to avoid 1/1 and jump-attack towards him. buffs: spell booster/bless, infinity.

    hero: remove ALL equipment that gives w. def or avoid. equip fast weapon such as sword, maplemas lights, red whip. stay within dong dong chiang and use brandish. buffs: booster, power guard.
    paladin: remove ALL equipment that gives w. def or avoid. equip fast weapon such as sword, maplemas lights, red whip, fusion mace. stay within dong dong chiang and use regular attack OR power strike + final attack if you have it. buffs: booster, power guard.
    dark knight: equip fast weapon such as maplemas tree, maple impaler. use crusher. buffs: booster, beholder.

    Id think using savage blow would be fast enough.. just solo it using savage blow.. when DDC spawns wolves use Bstep+BOT combo. I clear it under a min..

    just tested
    pure flash fist: 2min
    barrage + flash fist: 1 min 40 seconds

    barrage 1x is slightly faster than flash fist 6x. it also gives iframes = less likely to be knocked back. maybe you're thinking that pure flash fist is faster than pure barrage? (which is correct btw)

    you don't need to kill the wolves, savage blow will prioritize DDC over them anyway.
