It's so terrible that we're sending sacrifices and having so much trouble in map ?-5. Gawd that map is terrible.

It appears 60k power is also not enough for the bottom boss in E2-8. So either a stronger team or a second squad there will do the trick. Off to waiting another 6 hours to try again a few times.

My team was around 56K that took him out so I guess it matter what your teams true power level is (with equipment incl) and if you use burst power maybe? They took him out and final boss down to half.

Probably because his first battle got dragged out too long or his squad got slapped by too many flies, losing unnecessary hp.

I used solo squad with 70-73k power with Toad Lily so I have no problem at all with bottom route.

5th : Helper = 400-500. Suggested as strong as main army.

Those flowers mentioned above are 2*, even lv 1 works. I feel bad for using them as 'sacrificial method' but it works.

Forget to mention, squad 1-2-3-4 starts from TOP BASE and helper squad starts from BOTTOM BASE.

This works for people with 'strong helper squad'.

Thanks man, I obtained 3 medals in my second try.

Actually, i think sending the strongest team to the bottom in E2-8 is the best, it's not seen on the map, but once the mantis brothers have been defeated, the squad con go to the final boss straight. Upper boss is a pretty normal one, so the second or even third squad can kill it, then some "weak" team should clear the random mobs and die at the final boss, hopefully killing one or the 2 scarabs.

I went with 2squads around 50K for the top one, and helper with 55K (being helper means it's higher than that, and he was also using sakura+orchid+camelia, so yeah, extremely high damage output), and cleared absolutely easy, so even if helper wasn't so strong, it should be able to be done as there should be 1 to 3 teams ready to pick the boss with low damage since the bugs don't seem to go that far from their nests and upper boss is not scary. Altough one team is bound to lose a lot of time due to the arrows, so it might eat lots of bugs if all other squads die.

Also, killing the mantis as fast as one can with a fast team is also paramount, as they have a live% based attack and a AOE. Evolved Orchid and Alpinias should be superstars for the bottom team.

So for ?-8, can you just send a slow and strong squad along the bottom route and then stack the rest of the teams on the top-left starting area and hope for RNG to pan out? Is there any reason to use the middle starting point?

no use for middle starting point, I put one strong semi fast unit at bottom and rest up top.

Fuck this event, fuck speed management lol
