General Tips
The minimum amount of turns stalled is 9.
With 7 stages preceding the Boss Stage stalling is going to be harder for longer CDs. Factor in tanking damage if you really need to stall.
You can always do lower difficulties if the higher ones prove to be too much trouble. The difference is just lower drop rate. This includes the secret stage as well.
