Thread: need advice for long term strategy

hey there i usually read this forum but rarely post; now i'm at a point on aigis i dont really know what is better to do next, i can usually do event without a lot of problems, only having problem with the story map (stuck at the danger in the oasis).
I'm current lv 177 with around 1 million gold and 260 demon crystal, the point i dont know wich unit i should aw next, what my team really need to improve(aside from reduce cost), i cashed in the past but dont plan to cash in the future( 2 time 150 sc with only 3 plat in total...)
Thx all your your advice

I saw Jerome not AW'd. I didn't need to continue looking. that's your answer.

edit: took a 2nd look. I'd say AW whatever units you use the most yourself. you can either AW utility units (Len, Shuuka, monica, cellia, katie etc. drop boosters are included here), or units like Horus, Shizuka, claudia, Lyla, Saki which is basically focusing on your duelist component which seems a bit weak aside from clissa. also max level elizabeth and claudia before anything else though.

the best map for lvling is base scramble 2. so i wouldnt be to worried if you cant 2 the last 2 maps yet tho seems weird you can.

He's doing fine in the duelist department. He has the 3 best barbarians in the game (lyla/imelia/celia) + clissa + claudia. He just needs to raise them a bit.


As for AWs , my rule of thumb is : multipliers (like spica/bernice/belidna/katie/etc) and units that increase drop rates(celia/monica) get AW-ed first because of their utility. Speaking of utility , jerome is also a very good pick ,as sora said


Looking at your team , i'd follow what sora said , and awaken jerome first. Then i'd go either for monica for DC drop rates or bernice , since she boosts both her defense and makes an already strong gellius even tankier. Then i'd go cellia for increased drop rate

to be fair , elizabeth , just as nanaly , gets just range post aw , and 40 or so more base damage. That's pretty weak compared to what other AW are avaible. Not saying he shouldn't , because even that 40 damage is a lot during her skill and her 3 shots , but it's still not that high impact of an AW IMO. Not saying that len is a better choice tho...

Don't underestimate range, especially for a vampire hunter which is a rather low range class to begin with. 15 is quite a damn lot and allows Elizabeth to be placed in positions where normal VH's cannot cover everything. That said, i agree on not AWing her first and i never said so either.

well jerome was the one i was planning to aw next(just capped his trust this week) and i guess i'll farm the orbs to aw him, about the second i rarely use a second tank or either len, is that 5% def(around 30 def ) for gellius really important? are there any other unit i should focus for when aw skill will be added(have like 20 rainbow for it) and should i use my second clissa just to reduce my main cost by 1?
edit: just a few info about some unit
odette she has 40 cost sadly i'd just started on late august so i was able to get only one of her
fedora has her cost reduced to 17(min)

if you have time to place a 35 up mage , u probably have time to place a 40 up mage IMO. That being said , 5% defense on itself is not that much. But combine with prince buff , combine with katie , combine with len. Every little helps. Especially during his skill duration.


Then again , bernice is not a priority for you now i guess , but she is one of the better gold units to awaken in general IMO. Her SAW looks good as well , when we'll get that

Well if your Odette is 40 cost I would seriously consider leveling your Marius instead when you feel the need for more magic damage.

Bishops are great, though expensive to deploy, but I think his max cost is still only 37. His skill is only situationally useful but he hits like a damn truck without it and has a larger range than mages do (which goes up further after awakening).

Note that he is squishy as hell, so he needs to be placed safely (which is easy to do with his large range).

The hardest part would be getting all the affection items for another male unit.

Jerome first still obviously.

you already said it, they're not level'd.

as for elizabeth vs Len, I'd go for Len as well because defense buff for when it's needed since she's useless otherwise, unlike elizabeth who can be used even pre-AW. also, 30% faster skill reuse. *looks at subjugation* she basically allows you to ramp up your team much, much faster in subjugations.
