...1 heavy? didnt realize 1 heavy was needed. I guess my dps too high for that.
I did it with 2 healers, iris and fedora. alissa on skill heals about the same as fedora (probably higher) so.
2 mages yes. 2 witches...I didnt use any. just had 2 archers (or at least I'll just consider Len as an archer for now)
2 soldiers.
best. valk for UP generation.
you managed to get to 491 so you need to see what the issue is (aside from the liches). you should have room for 4 lightning rods if you did right. Imelia and Eunice can both be lightning rods. also, it honestly doesnt matter even if you fail the 50 DCs. you're still new so it can't be helped. I've missed 50 DCs on DMM 3 times.
edit: also, cut out units that you dont need. gargoyles should be easily handled with archer+mage. you can only improve if you try to analyze your own team and how you can make it better yourself, since it's yours. also, remember that units CAN die in subjugations. just let your bandits/elaine etc. die tanking lich dmg.
