The Dark Guild's Servant event guide

Good timeofaday, brave Princes! It is that time of the week, and so we are looking forward to the new event. And after the weeks of Unit Farming, it is a high time for a Star Trial, and once more for a new class.
So let's warmly welcome The Dark Guild's Servant!

Event runs: 2017-10-03 to 2017-10-17

Rewards

This is a Star Trial event. You will obtain event unit after event ends if you scored well enough during it's duration. Unit's level, skill level and cost depends on the cumulative number of stars you managed clear event maps for.

Star of the show:

Introducing the Servant Irene a Platinum rarity Maid. Her Special class is basically there to provide a passive buff for specific classes and tokenize them. In Irene' case, said classes are Outlaws: Bandits and Rogues. By her mere presence in the team, Bandits will have 7% more health, and Rogues will have +20% longer Skill duration. Irene's own Skill doubles her attack and defense for the duration, making her a semi-decent duelist, but as her raw stats are on the lower side, it is pretty risky to use her as one full-time. Still, for full Maid service - tokenization of goshujin-samas affected classes - you need to deploy her, that's at least something. Awakening widens Irene's coverage to Pirates (they get +5% attack) and Thieves (cost -1). Skill Awakening gives her ranged attack in exchange of lowering multipliers to x1.9 and increasing reuse timer. Second Awakening sends he on the path of Battle Maid, for lower cost and vastly higher attack, but lower HP and defence.
All in all, a good stat stick if you have a free slot in your team, and later on a semi-decent support fire. But nothing all that amazing on her own. She is only as valuable as your roster of Bandits and Pirates she buffs.

And while she is not an event reward, she's new, so

Introducing the Bowrider Katina a Platinum rarity, well, Bowrider. As all other mounted archers, she is a melee slot fire support that refunds more UP when withdrawn per usual cavalry bonus, and has halved attack if she blocks anything. Her skill is usual Increase Range we all know and love. Awakening gives her a good class buff for Bowriders, not only increasing their attack, but extending their Skill durations as well. Skill Awakening, aptly named Arrow Rain, trades a bit of a range increase and attack speed (and longer reuse timer) for attacking up to 7 targets in her range at the same time. Oh and SAW makes her lose block, so there's that gatekeeping ability as well.
All in all, pretty decent melee ranger with that SAW.

Comments about the event

Star Break, in it's full glory! There's a lot of Outlaw classes running around, and, notably, new Assassins are quite deadly, dealing double the damage (after armor subtraction) normal enemies with their attack rating would. So you want to pack a lot of burst to burn them down asap. Pirates have a huge range, so be careful with your placement around them. Minotaur is beefy and packs a punch as well. And finally there's a duo of our event Heavies stomping around in the last 70/6, with their Skills active, so their blows can end unprepared melee. Especially Miranda, that jet hammer is golem-worthy. Thankfully, not a lot of MR all around. So pack your favorite damage dealers, a good tank and healer team, and let em rip!)

On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:

• Soldier (Assal) (map 2);
• Rogue (Cecily) (map 3);
• Archer (Daniela) (map 3);
• Samurai (Sanosuke) (map 4);
• Witch (Naynia) (map 4);
• Mage (Pallis) (map 5);
• Magic Swordsman (Ricardo) (map 5);
• Bandit (Mortimer) (map 6);
• Ninja (Saizo) (map 7);
• Artillerist (Percis) (map 7);
• Valkyrie (Elaine) (map 8);
• Bishop (Fudo) (map 8);
• Pirate (Verotte) (map 8);
• Heavy Infantry (Bernard) (map 9).

There's also a tincan at map 4, and not one, not two, but three farmable Platinum rarity units: Archer Rita at map 5 and H.I. Maribel AND H.I Miranda at map 9! So if you missed their events, now is your chance to score!

Viva la Star Break!!!

ЗЫ. Sorry for the late release, was super swarmed IRL

[AgentFakku]

I'm at Hideout Showdown - mess up my unit placement and my Bishop was killed

just gotta redo it

Hardest maps so far: (haven't done the last 2 maps)

1) Pirate Map - all ranged units - mostly b/c left group of pirates hit like shit - finally did it after someone told me to use Fran and Pupuru

2) Minotaur - had limited range spots - none of the vids match my play style so I had to figured out where to put Cornelia and Gloria

ended up not using Gloria, used Nagi instead

[wolfdragon76]

Shipboard shootout was annoying...First time in a while i totally failed on a blind run.

[AgentFakku]

3 star Crusaders

lol was doing it the hard way and using AW Gloria until someone remind me to use my Cornelia - I thought it was too much for her to handle 2 HA but she did it w/ SAW and 2 healers

yeah, messed up layout and started to get leaks

[Grimmiq]

I had a little trouble with the ranged only map, 1st time I didn't read the description so went in a little understaffed, then another 2 2* runs figuring out better placements. Understimated the Crusaders, assumed my Sybilla could take them, since they were just heavies, nope. SAW Bernice handled them with ease though. Using the rest of the event to farm for plats to use as mini-armors.

Awakened Anya takes them down pretty easily if you have her.

[AgentFakku]

I don't have Anya

finished clearing da event - thanks to the players on MWA Wikia for their advice

[MalusCorvus]

To my vast surprise, it seems the event will go on for another week... which I only found out tonight. As a result, I can take things a little more leisurely... and I might actually get enough copies of Rita to mincost her. I got a lot since it took me quite a few tries to 3-star that particular stage... and while I didn't actually reduce her cost or improve her skill any (13 and 9/10, respectively), after combining each copy with 3 Platinum Spirits, she's now the first Platinum unit I have that I've Awakened and fully leveled up. I somehow managed to Awaken and max level Katie, but no other unit.

I play since 1 1/2 years and theres not a single unit i did max out completly. Only Aria and Katie are one plat armor away. I only feed those when i need space though as im bringing many many units to max lvl cc and after AW to the level until i start using plat armors. I only start using plat armors once thats all done and even then i will share them equialy. Theres no unit i bring to a higher level then another. OCD ftw

[Arkinum]

Got all the stars I need for a perfect event unit. Could only get one star on the last map.
