yep, any soldier or HA will do actually
the main problem is, could you deploy them when the rush come. well since you have mincost julian so its no problem i guess.

Yes, and we get a second Verotte instead of Kagerou for Base Struggle I.

Where could he get the claire on that oasis map in the guide? I dont remember she has an event.

Actually, unit exp-wise the 30 charisma map is better unless you have a manner of telling me that the 40 charisma map has better drop rates. Assuming the same drop rates it is more efficient to do the 30 stamina map provided you have the gold for it. Of course, the 40cha map is still better for prince exp and gold.

Note: All Iron and Bronze units drop twice per map. Yes this means a lot of the maps have four bronze unit drops. As oppose to the one you are use to.

^ nope. lafate you might want to check the drops again. not all maps have 2 of each drop. in the 1st 6 maps, only the 30 and 40 charisma maps have 6 drops, the rest only have a total of 5 drops (2-1-2)

also, saturday's orb map might be 'Madougaiki' depending on how you read it, but in any case it's 'Mage Armor Princess'

Pretty sure everything was 2-2-2 granted I did make this when I was dead tired.

Looking at it now though. Wouldn't the 51 cost be best for gold efficiency. It drops 5 bronze units and they are all higher level then 30/40 maps

potentially yes. although that's 11 charisma more per run for only 2 unit levels more (granted, it's 5 bronze vs 4 bronze). there's also the issue of being able to clear that map though. I personally think it depends on what unit you want to level. the 44 charisma map is perfect for archers. 40 for soldiers.

after which I'd jump to the eastern maps's 56 charisma map (5 bronze drops, 3 of which has the veteran ability (same as Hasim)), although that'd be somewhat further off for our version.

Question: While I'd imagine it would make it easier, you don't necessarily need an AW unit to clear any of these maps for the Desert story missions right?

no, I've managed to clear up to 44 charisma map with only cc'd units. only issue is for free players, you most likely need the silver VH free/fourier. her dps is broken for a silver. havent checked the higher charisma cost maps myself.
the account which didnt use the silver VH free didnt get past the 36 charisma map (to be exact, I didn't try, but as the maps go on, you'll find them to get tighter and tighter, especially on UP and unit placement timings. for example, you can check a couple of the sunday AW orb missions (copy map name and paste) on youtube. almost none of them are really all that easy, especially with full cost units)

haven't cleared any desert maps pass the 44 stam one (went straight for eastern maps once they were unlocked, trying for awakened prince), i didn't AW any units to get to that point.

The key maps are clearable without AW units thats for sure.
