Floor 13: Crom's Crotch. Fucker resisted Ryu-Oh's BP which led to a near wipe. Lost my "have 5 survivors" mission, but I guess I can only blame myself for not bringing VoF. 19 turns.
Floor 14: Cthugha. Running off-element Thunder since I had been playing safe on many floors, and I wanted to leave a back-up Water team for F15. Didn't go all that well. Would've wiped... if reserves Thor hadn't landed a pure-skill Paralyze
19 turns.
Floor 15:
Stage 1, no problems, in fact my A team demolished the mobs a bit too fast. Should've held back. Oh well.
Stage 2, could've been better, but lack of debuffs meant that I was struggling. Still, without healers can't exactly go slow either.
Stage 3, Full Burst around turn 3 (no Overdrives have happened yet since bubble-eating Cthulhu and Raph) Asherah stacks + PF blasts for 4m-ish, I don't think anyone procced Asherah Crits. Instant wipe from 65% HP Trigger. JESUS christ that fucking hurt. Of course, I had -10% from Eidolon and both Raph and Poseidon were ready for a total of -90% reduction. There's only person we can blame for misplay:
me nonsensei! Damn you for ruining my Tower run! I'm sure the video I didn't watch was the reason for this!!
Full wipe happened around six as even Herc couldn't take many punches from Phlox.
Re-key with a pitiful back-up team, bring Morgan's party-Berserk because PF isn't going to do much when starting against Phlox. Turn 4 Herc is ready to Burst, actually lands the freaking Def Down debuff aaaand... I kill her. Within the time limit. Did the previous six-ish turns even count towards the time limit now...? Anyway. I think I even skipped 15% Trigger thanks to that blessing from RNG gods. Total turns: 24.
So clearly, I am a master of Tower, defeating two floors purely because of pure skillful use of purely skillful skills of pure skill.
Anyway. It's not like there was much for me to gain even if I hadn't fucked up Phlox. Missions I missed:
500 Medals F15 (clear twice), don't think there's any chance of me being able to beat a non-debuffable boss reliably. At all.
250 Medals F13 (five survivors), not a chance. Maaaaybe some super tanky off-element team could've done it. Probably would've tried this.
200 Medals F14 (elemental advantage), don't think back-up Water team could've done this.
150 Medals F8 (elemental advantage), I missed out on this since I fucked up due to lack of planning. IRL kept me busy so I couldn't plan for the event properly (I started planning on F7-F8 day), and I had used my Balance Water Rs in a rush previously. I NEEDED Triton for a floor a bit higher, so I forfeited these Medals.
Could've had 400 more Medals with better planning, but all things considered, better than expected honestly.
