A monster who rules the underground world.
The momentum of its giant drill must be stopped.
Interception S unlocks after clearing 9-15 Campaign. It is a Common Individual Interception that is a fixed boss type (Grave Digger).
Interception S rewards T4~T7 manufacturer equipment. Stage 6+ should be your goal, as that is when T7 equipment begins to drop. At Stage 8 and 9, any bonus drop is guaranteed to be a T7 manufacturer equipment. Even a Stage 1 clear of Interception S grants better rewards than a full clear of Interception D.
Gravedigger is always within weapon range of Shotguns, and its big body guarantees a full 10 pellet hit per shot, which makes Shotguns very powerful in this fight.
Recommended Teams
General tips and recommended teams for Special Interception version of Gravedigger can also be applied for Interception S.
Classic Shotgun
![]() Liter | ![]() Guilty | ![]() Sugar | ![]() Drake | ![]() Modernia |
![]() Volume | ![]() Rupee | ![]() Maiden | ![]() Viper | ![]() Scarlet |
Liter/Volume, the usual B1 buffers providing CDR which is very crucial in this fight. Liter way better than Volume since Liter provides huge ATK buff while Volume provides crit buff which is very medicore. N102 provides better buff than Volume but lacks CDR, which is crucial vs Gravedigger.
Guilty/Viper/Rupee are the top options for B2, with Guilty and Viper being Shotgun units which help a lot with burst gen and breaking red circles.
Rupee provides a decent ATK buff to team and also deals decent DPS which helps breaking red circles, but not to the extent of Viper and Guilty. Dolla and Admi can also be used for B2, as they provide useful buffs to the team, but they do poorly in dealing with red circles.
Sugar and Drake are the top 2 Shotgun options vs Gravedigger. Sugar is the more crucial unit here, provides max ammo increase to other Shotgun units, which enhances their ability to deal with red circles as they can reload less. Drake deals good damage and also provides ATK buff and more importantly hit rate buff, which helps to deal with red circles.
Modernia deals great DPS as a B3 who will not be using her burst here. She also deals with missiles extremely well, manually control her when you need to clear missiles but is not in full burst mode. The same goes for Scarlet, although using Scarlet means you cannot tank drill in Phase 2. If you use Modernia, DO NOT put Modernia in the middle slot as there seems to be a bug where she takes more damage from the drills and will die.

it’s so hard clearing grave digger my squad lv 137 pepper, dolla, privaty, neve, and drake. how did you destroy the QTE easily ? i already try targeting one but it’s hard to destroy it and the drill is harder to destroy. di i need to equip all my squad with tier 7 equipment before chalenging this ?
Currently level 124, the majority of my squad only has gear rarity 6.
Use the Noah cheese strategy, with her you can reach face 8 or finish it.
Yeah, Noah is a pilgrim, doubt many ppl has her
what is the noah cheese strat?
I’m currently with a squad lvl 160 Modernia, Scarlet, Repunzel, Centi and Volume yet still didnt clear the grave digger, keep getting it until last health
Uh..replace Rapunzel with any other B3 DPS units you have, any SSR shotgun does well too, also replace Centi with another offensive B2 like Viper, Rupee and Dolla. Refer to the team comps here https://nikke.gg/special-interception-gravedigger/ they should work fine for interception S too
I just did a full clear for the first time with Liter, Rupee, Drake, Sugar and Maiden at lvl 131. Had to manual but shotguns helped an insane amount.
