Thread: Challenge of the Holy Warrior Event

This event is really straight forward, farm the maps for a chance for Maribelle to drop. She drops on Maps #2 , 4, and 5. Map #2 has a 100% drop rate for your first clear, so even noobs should be able to get a single copy.

Silver Drops this time around are:
Bagan (Bandit)
Cecily (Rogue)
Valerie (Mage) + Soma (Archer)
Calliope (Witch)
Leanne (Heavy Armor)

The important thing to note for Maribelle is that among Heavy Armors, she's a special case. She's a possessor of the rare "Holy Awakening" Skill which doubles both attack and defense at the same time, making it one of the strongest skills in the game. To counter this though, her stats are down right awful for her rarity.

For stat comparison.
At 50CC50 with 100% affection, Leanne has the following stats:
1813 HP, 209 Attack, 426 Defense

At 50CC70 with 100% affection Maribelle has:
2229 HP, 298 Attack, 341 Defense

Maribelle only has +416 HP, +89 Attack, but -85 Defense. Keep in mind that because Heavy Armors have naturally low Attack, very often the enemy will be Defense-Capped against them. So in practice, the +89 Attack will often only transfer out to +9 Damage. An because Heavy Armors can tank 3 enemies at once (4 after Awakening), the -85 Defense will be multiplied to all 3 (4) enemies at once resulting in taking 255 (340) extra damage per set of attacks.

Copy pasted info

You forgot to paste the other two parts I wrote.

With skills activated is where Maribelle takes the lead however.

Leanne with 5/5 Skill
209 Attack, 682 Defense (most people won't level up her Skill to 5 though, usually 3-4 max)

Maribelle
596 Attack, 682 Defense

Perfectly matched Defense, but Maribelle has 387 more Attack (over double), and at these numbers Maribelle can actually break the threshold for more Attack to matter. Overall, without Skill active you'd probably want Leanne > Mariblle. With Skill active, Maribelle > Leanne.

Stat comparison for Awakening:

50CC60AW80 Bernice
2900 HP, 275 Attack, 595 Defense (+5% AW Passive to Defense)

50CC70AW90 Maribelle
3105 HP, 324 Attack, 420 Defense

Maribelle has +205 HP, +49 Attack, but -175 Defense (205 if you count in Bernice's Awakening Passive). Maribelle still comes out slightly ahead in HP and Attack, but the difference in Defense is even more obvious here.


With Skills active:

Bernice
275 Attack, 1129 Defense

Maribelle
648 Attack, 840 Defense

Maribelle has +373 Attack (also more than double), but still -289 Defense. In this case without Skill, Bernice > Maribelle. With skill active, it depends on what you need. If you actually need to tank something, Bernice >> Maribelle by even further gap. But if you need the Heavy Armors for the sole sake of their Block 3/4, but need to kill things ASAP, Maribelle > Bernice.

Maribelle's Awakening Passive is Shield of Miracles, which gives her a 10% chance to nullify all damage from an attack. Her Awoken Skill changes her skill duration from 40 seconds to 70 seconds, as well as increases the multiplier from 2.0x attack and damage to 2.5x attack and damage; but comes with the downside that you can then only use her skill once per mission.

Quick preview of one of the upcoming levels; watch out for those ghosts.

Went ahead and made a playlist of my first attempts on these maps. I messed up at the start on the last two maps, though. Will have to update it later once I get the 3 stars on them.

I just have Cloris CC'd. Hope i can get Maribell at the end of the week.

And hope too to get Sybilla or Sherry...

What is the average level of your team?
I was just able to 3 star the first map with my 20 and under team. But I think from map 2 onward it would be a bit too hard... maybe.

Edit: Well, I just managed a 1 star skip on it. All that aoe and so many ranged enemies was quite brutal, though. Guess I can try my luck with map 3 now.

Just wanted to throw out there that I got Crave on First Battle (the first mission), not Bagan. Dunno if anything else has changed.

Got a perfect maribel. It only took the blood sacrifice of 50 Holy Virgins.

Sorry for the late reply.

Finally got her at least with 1 star

I just have Cloris CC'd at lvl 50 and now is 30

Katie lvl 47 awaiting to be 50 and CC too!

My best units are Bashira, Dahlia, Iris and Mehlis <3

Alright, well I'm still not able to clear map 3 with my low level account. Those ghost armors have been too much of an issue. They two shot any ranged unit I put out as they pass it and that is leaving me with no mages to kill anything else with. But that account is just starting to get units to level 30.

I guess I can't help much.
