Ionocidium test, although the cactus's critical strike was missing, the lucky Ionocidium hit the ball again and saved me (it is more secure with apricot)

Maybe you can start with the whale 16 and the difficulty is reduced to make it easy to get a high medal.

I think I've hit a wall in terms of whale fights since my first attempt on 17-2 went badly and the second went well only because the RNG was generous (wiped out the normal pests first round and the boss spread its 7-8k damage per hit across the squad during the first boss fight; the whale constantly procced Isana Attack during the super pest fight).

I figure that, at the very least, I'll need Viola or a 6* Pierce Knight like Loquat before trying 17-3.

OK I have about 25 6* girls - all level 70 or 80 max 2nd affection, few max ampies most with some, the remaining girls are all 5* all max 2nd affection bar one, a smattering of 70 and 80's few 2/3 or even 4 equipped slots decent equips...I can't do this whale boat at all....what am I missing

How is your power level? It may be that you need to add a specific color
Is your deck team taking losses? That has a huge impact on the latest one, especially if you are running below rec power
Do you have good crystal fighters in there? That will save you some attacks

Power level - generic is 1,239,448 - without helper with 1,345,000 and change, which is indeed under but then other then a sudden influx of ampies I don't know how to increase it more
Often all the 1st team and most of the 2nd
It's random pulls but I've clocked 12,000 or so on crystals - there are some yes

And cheers any pointers greatly recvd
