Dance of Shadows Guide

[Lafate]

Hello boys and girls, Well I can't say that I'm not surprised that we didn't get Franc's event... though I was hoping they were hinting at Yurina with those Dark Knight Orbs.... but nope! Hopes crushed again... I really should stop raising though. Anyway it is time to grab one of your cheerleaders! She shall make your units strong!

ETA: 24/5/16

Introducing the Dancer of Passion Waltz! For a lot of people this will be your first access to a dancer. While I know some of you may be waiting for Hana's event to come for that. I honestly wouldn't... Well I wouldn't pass this event up. Simply because Hana's event is fairly different from standard events. So.... I am not currently willing to say we will get it.

This is a farm event.

Comments about the event

->Open Spoiler<-

Well AW still won't be required for farm events. Most people with trained evolved units should be able to easily handled this event with no problems. Farm either 40/5 or 55/7 depending on the silvers you need, and you should be good to go.

Dancers take a Valkyrie and Two Healers to evolve so remember that. Do not want to get stuck at 50/50 and not be able to assure getting a -5CR Dancer

Spotlight Units

Black Princess Olivie


Platinum Princess Sherry


Gold Princess Themis

New Characters Arriving

Note: This is based off of current JP version stats. We may not get the same if we get a previous version of the units, but they will eventually get to this point.

Nothing this time guys.

thx for the work again lafate. I'm actually pumped for this. I like the concept of dancers

[soranokira]

DMM dancer stat comparison:

->Open Spoiler<-

waltz is the most attack oriented, marnie has the best overall boost (as well as def), while hana has the best range.
SAW waltz has 30% buff permanent, marnie SAW has (once again) the best overall boost, while hana SAW is a burst-heal dancer.
AW ability-wise, only marnie's is really worth anything: -1 cost to melee units when deployed.

[switch]

ehh those x map silver drops.. like could they stop with the pirates already

[King Dong]

I'm experiencing a high level of disappointment right now...there are no archers to farm.

With that said I will do my best. (without SCs)

Time to watch the video's for fun, and to see what I will need to succeed.

[slyyr]

I like the low level farmable Heavies. Will plug the last hole in my team

I'll likely aim at getting a few of those then spend the rest of my time on the healer map after 3 starring as much as I can.

[YoxalLoyal]

Dancer event eh. A buff unit would be nice to have. And are we SERIOUSLY getting another 55/7 map with Verotte in it?! I guess I'll know who will pop up more frequently than the others. -_- Not Khuri it seems, but we'll never know. Might as well farm the 40/5 map and hope for healers to drop so I can AW Fedora.

[King Dong]

Bernard is strictly better than Leeanne, and one of my accounts only has one CCed Leeanne anyways, so I will be hoping for some of him. With that said I will likely just 3* what I can, and farm the healer map on the one that has two CCed Leeannes unless there is a reason I might need the third heavy?

And I guess I might as well ask I have Leeanne 50cc50 and Leeanne 50...Should I just aim for one Bernard to CC 2nd Leeanne, two so I can level Bernard and CC him instead, three so I can CC both, OR some other option I left out?

[Unregistered]

I wouldn't say Bernard is STRICTLY better, def the most important stat and Leeanne has more after affection while giving up some hp and att, also on that note easier to 100% affection Leeanne than 100% trust Bernard. If you don't mind using dupes, they're close enough that I'd just use all Leeanne only because you've already invested fodder. I don't know of any maps or common situations where you'd ever want to have a third heavy leveled up but maybe someone more experienced can correct me on that.

[lolix]

bernard is better then leanne vs mage units because he has more hp and defense don't matter. Other then that , a leanne at max level and skill level , has (when she uses her skill , ofc) the same defense as a maribel at max level before AW , (which is a plat), during maribel's skill usage (when she gains black tier - stats). That's a crapload of defense for a silver unit mate. She is rather strong for a silver , and it's generally accepted that she is a tier above bernard
