Thread: Help with Crystal Keeper X

Do you really think that obtaining and raising premium pirate would be cheaper than awakening Spica?

Obtaining is randomness, and it's not like I say "You should go and try to get it." If you have one, then you don't need to bother with Awakening anything, you can do the quest already. Also I do think that CCing a pirate is much easier then CCing and AWing Spica. That is if you have one.

Awing Spica in general is usefull for a lot of maps though. In the end i know that there are many options to exchange Spica that can even do better. Sadly i do have zola but i dont have any pirate besides the silver ones. Besides sherry, zola, marnie and event units i lack niche options (i wont count gold samurais and pegasus riders in). Am a free player who only spend 1 time, maybe did 28 pulls from shrine till now, had no extra ordinary luck (no bad luck either though). I leveled my Spica to 40 now, still failed to clear the map without losing someone but i bet next week i will. Now i just have to wait until i get 100DC again to AW Iris. Then one more time for Imelia. Then im pretty much out of interesting options (not that i dont have to level a lot after that). Propably savin towards Saki then. Gonna take forever to get the 500 DCs though for all of it :P

Well, I am not rich guy either, I didn't do much shrine pulls, just got lucky once to draw Minerva out Anyways, my theory isn't gonna work with Platinum Pirates, their damage output at maximum lvl after CC is not enough even with Prince's boost. I actually lucked out, Minerva is just over the required damage per shot.

The Crystal Keeper Maps are quite a bit easier now. X is free as you've pointed out but G is not only possible without the Nanaly, Uzume full AW dream team, it's almost easy. Almost any AW archer paired with AW Spica and Prince buff can oneshot G eyeballs. I didn't do the math for minimum levels but my AW70 Spica is oneshotting on G, where with 20% pre buff an AW99 wouldn't oneshot. The last rush is still difficult but if you have Zola and can AW Marie or Viera it's very doable.

I don't have AW Spica (because I tried mincosting her and it failed, so I got pissed about that), but I used AW Nanaly/Bashira/Aria/Uzume/Iris/Camilla and Waltz, Chydis, Zola, Percis, Karma, and AW Sherry for the last wave.

Just another tip, if you have issues with the last wave, drop Shuka/Uzume ahead of time (assuming you have them), pop their skill while having Artillery Officers/Anelia/multiple mages for a nice attack boost to hopefully one-shot them. Can say this: in X a while back, I'd have Zola 50CC60 one-shot the waves of eyes that came from southeast using Uzume max skill to buff her attack to sufficient level that she'd one-shot the entire group. Should be feasible in G though obviously the threshold is higher so you might need AW Zola for that.

Edit: Dancers would also work in place of Shuka/Uzume for the attack buffing, maybe even using both so your units' base attack doesn't have to be quite so high (making Percis potentially viable despite Silver status)
