Thread: Desert and Gem Mission guide

I guess we need more time for everything to settle down like all other games. Personally i dont want rotation begin early cuz im a newbie and need spica, but for oldies they seem to delayed it very long. Though it'd be better to have chydis over spica thats for sure

I understand the need for a TP rotation but at least with AW I finally have a use for all my DC. Thanks to some lucky DC drops yesterday I think I'll be able to do another AW next week and Adele seems to be the main option (that 10% HP boost is so enticing).

For the time being:

AW units -> Lyla, Betty, Katie, Gellius
Units to AW with remaining DC -> Spica, Iris (next Monday), Adele (next Thursday? depends on her level)

That Friday AW orb map was pretty tricky to 3*. Had to get my timing right and my eyes in like 3 different places. Got 1 Ninja Master orb, 2 Advance Strategist orb, 1 Warlock orb, and 2 Lode Witch orb from 3/5 runs (the other two I gave up because my formation was messed up after wrong unit placement). How was the rush map for everyone?

if they actually start rotating and make it like DMM aigis, sure you might miss spica, but you can at least expect her to return 3 months later. as it is in nutaku aigis, you can't get new units, you can't get old units (only chydis but yeah).

just to be sure the only way to get a spirit of awak for now is from trade right? i'm regretting getting sakiç_ç

certain events might give out AW fairies as well, but they are rare naturally.

At what lvl roughly should you be able to do the gem missions? Even if it's just 1 star

Today's Witch EX map is surprisingly... not that tight on up.
Sure, initial deploy requires mincosted maxlevel bronze soldier, but after that it is a smooth sailing, even with zero other mincosteds.
My strategy:

->Open Spoiler<-

15ff9b7ae1035c78.jpg

1. Bashira on O
2. Spica on P
3. bronze soldier on D-E (depending on where enemy soldier is at the point) - withdraw him after he finishes his prey.
4. Wait till archer hits I and drop Prince on it.
5. Hit Bashira's skill as rogue comes from the east entrance.
6. Catch mage on K with Kerry.
7. Betty on H - and withdraw as soon as her Valkyrie is dead.
8. Fedora on U
9. Iris on M, Activate Spica's skill when soldiers come from the east entrance.
10. Bernice on E.
11. Withdraw Spica when she kills the regular Witch and replace her with Alissa.
12. Catch Despara with your chosen duelist on B/C (I actually used my Themis for ths, on C. Surprisingly, she held on without any problem!).
13. Activate Bernice's skill when she is surrounded / when it comes up. Activate Iris's skill as well.
14. When Despara is gone, withdraw her duelist and drop mage on M.
15. When two soldier that came from east are shot to death, withdraw Bashira and drop a witch on Q.
16. Reap the spoils.

Granted, my team is Awakening-ready (max levels, max affection), but still those max-cost golds (and plat archers) can be deployed to deal with threat without much rush. And, as videos prove, you can replace golds (minus Iris) with their silver counterpart without much difficulty.

steps too long. just: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv5QzFwl4Qw
@unregistered: don't bother with AW orb maps until your team is AW-ready (at least 1 of each core class max level & affection). otherwise you're better off getting more cc'd units to clear event maps anyway

Yes, I also want Misha to accompany my sole levelled Valk. Come on, devs!..
And while one don't need last three steps (especially when he has Mage Armor ) they do speed up armor killing quite a bit)
