Thread: The Alchemist and the Philosopher's Stone guide

Em done with the event I guess... max CR SU3 time to farm extra valks n healers

Now if I only have luck with the girl drop in HH hehe!

>first blind run of Army of Hell

Greater Demon: I have the perfect strategy to beat you.

>early rush gargoyles
>immediately fail because AW Bashira targets the greenies instead

... Right.

>switch to Spica, easy clear

Waste of stamina, but shitty event unit, so I guess it works out.

3-starred all maps, I'll save those SCs for the upcoming revival of Return of the Dragon Princess instead. Guess I'll just run the 90/12 to try my luck trying to get Misha, Alissa, or a Rainbow Fairy...yeah not likely to happen but well xD

Also not likely to CC Colin anytime soon, or mincost her for the matter right now since I work better with my mages and witches so far.

Ok, so I shouldn't have been as cocky as I was. Greater demon dude managed to live through my magic assault on him. Dang, he probably drops the Fairy too. Ah well, I can at least grind everything else.

Didn't 3 star all the missions. Was doing a blind run for lols - time to check the vid for the last map to see where I'm doing wrong

HungryHunter and Tony:
I'm using 3 Archers (Bashira, Shao Mincost, and Soma CR-1), 2 witches (Calliope CR-2, Cloris), Khuri (Mincost), Leeanne, Verotte, a Healer(AW'd Iris for me but Alissa and Dorca can do the work with CR; all these units CC'd, MaxAff and at max Lvl), and the Prince for that map. Big demon drops the fairy, or so people have reported on Millennium War Aigis/Nutaku Version Wiki. Without AW'd Spica, I guess it is a pretty close call taking him down, bringing Spica helps your archers do the job faster. You just place the Witches at a reasonable distance so they slow him down good enough, and let your arrows hit the big guy until they take him down. I find placing Bashira in the middle area the best choice so she can continuously hit him with her skill.

Another fun strategy is bringing Pupuru (if you have her), let her skill charge while your Ranged DPS hit the demon and then when the gargoyles come, activate her skill to take them all down or weaken them considerably, or a Mage for conventional AOE. The main point is saving all Skills for the moment the big demon appears so you can shoot him down ASAP.

Demon was a non-factor with Despara, Nanaly and Minerva smashing him with skills up

On a more general-use note, you want units like Bashira (NOT AW preferably; if AW you'll need AOE to clear out the others in her range due to her AW priority ability screwing with her in this map), witches (slowing him is good, very good), and pirates to burn him down. Uzume/Shuka skill is awesome here since their skills buff ALL deployed units' attack, so all your ranged people get the buff. If you're using Bashira/Nanaly/Elizabeth or units like Minerva/Beatrice/etc. (attack speed up skills), a dancer is good too.

Thanks for the advice. Don't have any AW units on my end. Just CCed, not max levels yet for my Plat and Gold units.
