    Didn't get a whole lot of drops for this one. As often as not I'd get nothing from a mission.

    Torrent G was extremely frustrating. Tried it no less than 9 times tonight, and every time something went wrong. Problem with using a video guide for help is that if your lineup isn't exactly what they have, (and generally maxed), problems spring up.

    Got a lot of silver and gold spirits, at least.

    No sir, the problem with using video guides is getting dependant on them (to them?), if you know your units, you can replace almost any line-up you see in a video. If you have weaker tanks and the video places the healers later on the map, try placing yours earlier; replace one duelist with another, most times than not a bandit can do the same work as a valk against magic attackers when 1-on-1 situations etc etc

    The point is to think outside the box and use the guides as just that, guides to follow and improve, not instructions that need to be obeyed to the letter

    This same thing happened to me when i was first starting and watched videos because i was too weak to clear things, but then i was too weak to fulfill the video's units level or roles.

    Yeah, guides are very useful but ultimately there's only so much they can do for someone who's under-leveled or whatever. On the bright side if you stick with the game long enough you should eventually hit a turning point where event units and gachas allow you to start from a Common Unit/Low Rarity guide and simplify from there rather than struggle to keep up on most maps. For example, my own team has enough single target damage capability that I can often look at a video mostly to identify the early rushes and then simply brute force my way through things that would require tank swaps and a ton of skill activation if i were using silver units.

    ^This. The videos are more what you call "guidelines" than actual walkthroughs

    Best ways to use them are:
    1) See early rushes ahead of time, as well as hard hitters that could murder your units if they catch you off-guard
    2) Get a GENERAL IDEA of how to handle the map, with an emphasis on deployment order and what units are used to counter which enemies
    3) Take the video's plan, substitute units used in the video with your own, or even take out some parts because you have stronger units than those used in the video (a princess or angel can spare you the trouble of lightning rod swaps, like how some Forbidden Beast videos are swapping bandits/heavy armors at the end like crazy with the Lich, if you have sufficient heal support)

    Learned that hard way when I try to imitate Key Kii's videos only to learn he had a max Prince and his Silvers are max affection and ability. I thought to use those vids because most of his units I had them in my army but less lvl
