I do see your point on the tanks; up until this point I've been using my Bandit/Monk/Assassin as tanks when I need them. Taking a closer look at it, for the moment I'll bench Sabine and Lilia for now. I don't think those two will see much use until I really start to move on to events/harder endgame content. By that time my soldiers should be CC and should be able to take over the tank slots, as long as I'm not facing a map where heavy armor is a must. I've gotta remind myself that having a couple of heroes for specific fights are a thing.

Well, Alissa, Christopher, and Dorca is silver healers so by default they're automatically cheaper to summon than both of your gold healers. Might be more helpful on some maps where UP Is very tight early on.

Plus Heavy Armors can grab three mobs and keep them on him/her. Awakened Heavy Armors is at 4.

Well.. Sabinne is a ranged melee unit that targets enemy unit's magic resist instead of physical defense. She certainly will have her uses on maps where ranged spots is limited and you want even more dps in that specific spot of map.

Lilia is a princess which means she's a duelist class that can ignore enemy defense. That's about it for her. I haven't used very much in area of princesses so I can't really say anything. My Themis is still bit too squishy at base 60 for the point of storyline where I"m at.

Considering it takes 6 irons alone to even go up by a single level. I'm not sure I believe that veteran players farmed a map or two for weeks on end to even get a single unit to level 50 and ready to CC (Although I suppose I can be wrong. I've certainly dealt with a fair number of games that are nothing but grind on end).

In regards to farming affection items I think my biggest gripe is simply that you get 12 stamina. Period. That's it. And you use that stamina for over half of the game's activities. Wish you would get at least +1 when you level, or at least refill them when you level. Challenge quests, daily quests, events, don't matter. You run maybe 3-4 missions with your stamina, and then you're done for the day. Maybe I should have started out at DMM instead of here; seems like DMM version knows what's up. Oh well.

I do have Katie and Cloris, but passed them up for other soldiers and mages. Guess I'll try them out some time.

I only do Pastoral Gate for Gold when their units no longer give meaningful amount of experience points. Generally, best iron/bronzes for leveling up your units with is the hardest map you cleared. The higher level the iron/bronze is the better exp they give.

Alot of experience for my units come from irons/bronzes of Fiery Oasis now.

About stamina, check attachment.

For madz amount of gold coins. Try to get your units strong enough to do H difficulty Daily missions that' shows up every Monday. Gives good amount of gold. Less than that isn't really worth it. Before I could do H difficulty Monday Gold daily, I grinded for gold in Pastoral Gate until I had like 100k and spent it all leveling and then grind again. Nowdays I don't do it anymore cuz its boring. If I run out of gold I sell the units I get in Fiery Oasis. H difficulty Gold monday daily can give you like 150k-250k gold every Monday. Rng depending. Maybe some Platinum Armor if you're lucky.

Katie only got mentioned because she's pretty durable gold soldier with good amount of defense and is a UP Generator.

Cloris, she's a witch and their ice spells have ability to slow enemy units down.

As for affection with ladies, make your way through the Challenge Quests until you can clear Phalanx 2 reliably.
That map drops bouquet, opal, 2x rubies, 1x gold fairy, 1x platinum fairy.

If you want to see what my team looks like, its pretty generic and probably can do take on all comers but will need to switch units out for specific maps. Check 2nd attachment for it. Nothing that fancy in it.
