tough. which is why under lafate's guides, he mentioned it would be best if your starting PS summons included a princess. under most circumstances, a valk would replace a princess (simply takes way longer to kill the enemy unit). Unless that unit has to be killed within a time limit (before next wave spawns), otherwise just a valk will do. most of the time you won't get the free slot to place a mage/witch for that magic dmg assist

This makes me a little curious..

if in any case it happens such that I place a valk along with a mage assist.
will this combination be more affective than just putting a princess

also can any other unit replace a princess (temporarily)..

basically, a princess fills the duelist role (and/or MR tank/lightning rod), so only a valk can really be close, although bandits can potentially take on this role with their high hp pool.
in any case, a collection event for a princess should be coming to us soon (claudia) so best to just prep your SCs for her.

and no, I don't think there is any combination that is more effective than just putting a princess. in fact, most guide videos won't use princesses unless absolutely necessary.

depends. i have 2 lvl 160 + accounts. 1 has no princess yet and the other has a themis...which i don't even use at the moment. Princesses CAN be replaced by valks , barbarians and even magic fencers. Most of the times , u need a general duelist to block a strong boss because u will rarely have a princess just 1v1 it anyawy , and for that , there are enough units that can fill that niche. That being said , a magic fencer can act like a princess in melee for a short time because they change their attacks to magical (so they ignore armor just like a princess)...but all that requires you to make adjustments , which is not easy if your acount is low level. Having a princess makes it all easier

Generally speaking the best replacement for a Princess is a Bandit.... unless you need to tank Magic damage then it is Valkyrie...

No I have no read anything but the title....

to be honest, i never had a princess till recently and i never had any problems clearing most maps except maybe Gs, and that was due to a lack of healers.

Most guides that i use, dont even use a princess to clear them. The most common drops used for single tanking are valks or bandits

That really depends too. Cellia's skill is a def boost after all, so if it's magic tanking + damage you need then Thetis or Dahlia would be better :P

depends. she got decently high base damage since shes a barb. Ofc she cant compare with the valks u named (i also got tethis btw on the same account , but shes not leveled yet) , but she is a very defensive duelist. Magic damage ? She can tank a bit with her mr that no other barb has+ has way higher health pool. Physical damage ? She can tank a bit + has a skill that reduces % damage for all your team which is awsome
