Thread: Just started a few days ago--some questions

The best part about alicia for a beginner is not only that she is level 40 but that you also dont need to waste resources to cc her, because she is a special unit.

If people don't mind, I've gotten a decent bit further now, and some more advice would be very appreciated. I just managed to beat Castle Retake this morning. My most-used units look like this:

Katie 50CC30
Iris 50CC30
Soma 50CC30
Cloris 50CC30
Bashira 30
Calliope 30
Grace 42 (waiting for a platinum armor)

Just yesterday, I hit my goal of getting to Phalanx 2, but Cloris and Calliope aren't strong enough to beat all of them on their own; I can 2-star the mission, so I've been using my stamina to get their affection up. Well, I also hit 50 SC, so I thought I'd put a few points into upgrading my army capacity and rolling on some new units to upgrade my stamp card. Here are the non-silvers what I got:

Black: Altia and Elyse
Platinum: Agnes
Gold: Bernice x2, Fedora, Momo

Basically, now I'm much more conflicted about the best way to continue from here. Should I continue to focus on my established team until I can get to Fiery Oasis, or should I start leveling up the new characters? Also, what's the deal with necromancers?

Elyse is a really good unit that will carry you far (her skill is really OP), however in the immediate, your range dps needs a lot of work, so I would focus on Bashira first. Getting her CCed and leveled should be the highest priority, IMO. After that you can go back for Elyse. Altia I would put much lower on the list since Katie should be fine for the time being.

As for Necromancers... they are generally a niche unit that specializes in summoning tokens, which has some uses, mostly to stall bosses. Luckily, Agnes is more damage focus, and should help a lot in phalanx 2 if you're still having trouble with it since she can hit 3 enemies on skill and doesn't need to be CCed (although she's slow compared to witches). Just toss some quick early levels on her, and she should make that map fairly simple.

u got 2 blacks from 50 scs ? jesus christ , you're lucky as f**k.


Elyse is straight up broken. She is one of the strongest units in the game both in our version and on DMM. Altia is also good , but elyse is insane.


Agness is kinda meh tho , so are fedora and momo.


Bernice is a unit that spikes higher then her rarity and will be a good tank if u lack any premium plat + tank.


That being said , i agree with the unregistered. Get your archers bigger first.

just to be sure, you are deploying prince on basically everything right? equip the best 'hero' title and put him somewhere in the back for something like phalanx 2, just having him deployed gives everyone a boost.
i'm asking because you said cloris and calliope by themselves.

Have you tried using Grace as well? She should be able to block them, and on skill will be dealing splash magic damage.

At any rate, the general sentiment of leveling Bashira, then Elyse is good. You might also want to work on a mage after that before focusing on Altia.

Thanks for all the advice--I've been deploying the Prince whenever I have 10 UP to spare, though in Phalanx 2 my problem was that Cloris and Calliope weren't strong enough, so I was trying to wait for 25 to send out Grace, as NotThatGuy suggested. Once I improved their levels/affection, it wasn't a problem. Cloris/Calliope/Prince/Agnes/Grace are more than enough to handle the mission.

And yes, now my priority is CCing Bashira, then getting her and Soma both up as high as I can. She's at 46 right now, but with no platinum fairies, the leveling process is going pretty slowly, and draining my funds quickly. Hopefully tomorrow will go well; I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to handle the Golden Armor H level daily yet, and don't want to risk stamina attempting it if it's totally out of my league.

One other question (sorry I have so many!): is Return to Ruins my best grinding map right now? I'm pretty sure I can't quite make it to Fiery Oasis yet, which is my current goal for unit leveling.
