Thread: Return of the Dragon Princess Revival event guide

He's not really that troublesome...

Earlygame you place two soldiers and archers, proceed with a mage, follow up with 2 healers and 2 princess/valk/highMRorHealth units and it's all done...

my non nanaly account does it with 2 soldiers. My nanaly account does it with just jerome....and nanaly ofc. You don't even need 2 healers. Just iris/camilla was enough

First few runs, I didn't understand his "hit-all-in-range" mechanic, so I left too many people in his range, so my healers' healing was too spread out to keep Sybilla up. If I had Claudia leveled and AW (might do that after the event is over), it'd likely be much easier. But I've neglected her due to having Sybilla and Sherry AW and leveled (Olivie I AW a few weeks ago). Overall, I was just careless due to it being a revival of an early event. Now that I figured him out, I end up dueling him with Sybilla. The Dragon mage on the right dies to Minerva before he takes one step forward.

I think it was mostly we all forgot or weren't aware he hits all units in range, which well as Ivan said, can really screw up your healers priorities. For me, it hasn't been a problem at all, Claudia handles the black elder perfectly fine, Lyla is overkill for the average elder on the right but my main issue in the map was timing placements on my first runs which let a few lizards pass through.

FINALLY! At 813, I can buy both Dorania and Fleur as I had planned! And still got 4 1/2 days to keep farming. After them, what to do, I guess I will save up what I can grind for future revivals, Aria sounds tempting to try minCost, but not entirely sure on the long run, a minimum of 4 is required to try minCosting her, but that's just the minimum if luck, Aigis, and RNGesus are on my side during each combination.

Like I said in my first post, blind-running the G map and not knowing how the black elder operates really fucks with your placement. It's not a friendly map for healer placements, so again, planning your lightning rod placement is extremely important. And difficult to consider when you're hurting for UP to get your mage(s) out to deal with the rush.

But there's too much shit going on in this map anyway, so I'm just trying to farm Gadoras in the 40/5 map.

I actually go Jerome -> Uzume -> CfR3 -> Zola and that takes care of early rush. Prince and Iris after that, followed by Garania for the later swarms (her skill wrecks those swarms like nobody's business). Minerva gets dropped on the bottom right slot to kill the dragon mage on the right (even with the random spawns during that time, with skill active she mows them down quick and gets back on him). Zola gets replaced by Camilla. Once just the elder is left, Garania and Minerva are out, Sybilla is in and once elder gets to melee range of her, I drop Nanaly in top right and she out-ranges the elder and can pop skill to help burn him down without getting hit in return.

Got 7 Gadoras already, doubt I'll need more if all I'm doing is AW Echidna and Anya with him (Echidna is unlikely, but who knows?). I know Despara and Adele both have IA4 but I have both their skills maxed with Rainbows... who else would use him for SU fodder?

You write stuff in the first post? I thought there were only a few YouTube links there...

i really apreciate the job zero , but i haven't looked at the guide video in ages. I sometimes take a look to see the layout of the map or see if its any gimmick , but most of the times i do it blindly for the challenge.


Honestly , my first run was lucky. I had like 4 duelists in the team so i could change between them (since i placed healers rather poorly). After that it was rather easy as long as you understand that the black elder is practically an AOE lich



Still a great guide for most newbies , and i'm guessing for the vast majority of stalkers that are creepying on this forum without ever commenting at all....

It seems I am not the only one struggling. This revival has drained the life blood out of me and I just got Dorania. I need another 630 crystals for Fleur and Echidna and I still have to focus on speed leveling other units to be able to do the last map. Speaking of which, I am not at all interested in 3 staring it. All I am interested in is to get all the crystals and surviving the map. I have no qualms with having two or even one star but all the videos focus on having a perfect run. Does anyone have advice on only surviving and getting the crystals?
