Heh, new. Not quite. Been here since Edelweiss. But I distinctly remembering less rng based stages for earlier events. Though, from memory, a player on the DMM version did say the next few will be like this so, yeah.

?-2 seems to be a giant FU. Basically need all 5 to avoid the middle paths and even then need more rng to get the very top pest.

Having fast teams 1 & 2 at the bottom with slow teams 3, 4 & helper at the top possibly might work if one of the top trio goes middle.

e: or even remove team 2 entirely.
e2: actually team 2 should be slow and up the top as well.

Be careful of ?-6; that center starting point is a trap!

3~4 of your fastest squads start north to unlock the center panel and swat the pest hiding in there.
1~2 of your slowest start south to mop up the rest.

Bad info, don't mind the above.

1 Fast North
3 Center
1 Slow South

Okay I dunno what happened but I can only see 4 maps, not 6. Sigh

?-2 is trolling me so hard right now...

I only have 4 maps.

Better strat for ?-2

Team 1 speed ~630 starting at bottom
Team 2-4+helper speed ~460 starting at top

Pray to rng

Only last map left, but damn the RNG was a bitch

.........Man I must'a in a blind rage when I first typed this. Bad bad bad bad me.

That center is a trap, but only because it takes 3 whole teams to unlock it. And I misremembered where that trap was in correlation to the starting base.

1 Fast squad up north.
3 Neutral/Slow squads in the center.
1 Slow squad down south.

This way, you're pretty much guaranteed to hit everything from the center on down, left with a 25% chance to pray for that North squad to stay on track.

Thank you very much . ?-6 is the last stage i need 3* to complete Phase 1. Let us hope Phase 2 isn't a complete RNG Fuck Fest...
