Thread: Swordswoman of the Boiling Sand Guide

Yay I finally 3 starred Wraith Soldiers. Now I have a little under a week to get at least 1 more star.

Since I have 1 star for both Gigantic Mummy Invasion and Assault on the Capital I think thats the best way for me to go as I'm still struggling on the H difficulty stuff. Power levelling Prince/troops and CCing like mad to get my guys/girls strong enough.

Quick question. What do you think the better ranged units are for this event regarding Mummies/King Mummies? I have CCed 2 Witches, 1 archer and 1 mage. I'm looking at CCing a 2nd mage or archer next.

well. archers are probably more important and more likely to let you get 3* on gigantic mummy invasion and assault on capital I think.
you probably need to use some SCs to level up your team faster if you want a better horus.

Thanks for the tip

I've been burning through SCs the past week after getting 10 stars on day one. I can't CC Bashira yet (only have 1 spare silver archer) but I have her on L50. Looks like I'll need to CC another silver archer for the meantime.

EDIT

Going with more archers worked a treat! 3 starred Gigantic Mummy Invasion on my first attempt today.

This is the team I took into battle (in case any other new players like me had trouble with it) :

->Open Spoiler<-

(I can't get image to upload right so I'll just list what I used in battle)

Jerome (Soldier) L50CC30
Katie (Soldier) L50CC30
Iris (Healer) L50CC30
Soma (Archer) L30CC28
Bashira (Archer) L50
Daniela (Archer) L23
Despara (Witch) L50CC30
Cloris (Witch) L50CC30
Valerie (Mage) L50CC30
Prince L96

Welp this is probably where I have to fold the hand.

Unless I can cheese out a 1 star at minimum for Battle in the Scorching Desert G, I might as well deal with Horace being a -4 with maxed skill lv since I at the moment can't think of a better way to 3 star Heated Battle G.

Oh I 2 starred it, but that last star is such a temptation to aim for.

This is the team I used to 2 star Heated Battle G with:

Also I did throw in a damage reduction blessing from the shop just to give me a slight chance of dealing with the last 3 maps, and it has served its purpose well.

I think you have a chance to 3* Heated Battle still. I have a similar team and was able to pull it off.

Give this a video a look, it helped me:

Instead of Shiho I used Despera, but I think a high level Cloris would work as well too. I don't have a high level Spica, so I used Daniela. I also don't have Odet, so I had to use Cyrus.

Some things I did different that helped me. I had Charlotte tank the black goblin king instead of letting him walk through. I didn't have enough dps to kill him with everything else going on unless i held him there. Also when Horace appeared, I put a tanky unit, Conrad or Bernard(can't remember), in the space right in front of the prince to soak up some damage while everyone else killed her.

Here is the team I used the other day with the damage reduction:

->Open Spoiler<-

I think you got it. I got 3 star's on Heated Battle but the Desert map wrecks me. I gave up on even getting 1 star

I have my first CC archer, Iris ready to be CCed and then several other units at or above level 30. I am so far behind and I don't think there's anyway I can finish this event.

But I do think I can at least complete the bare minimum requirements now and finish Gigantic Mummy Invasion and Wraith Soldiers.
So I will at least have the two event units at the lowest possible point.
Will it ever be possible to skill up and Cost reduce them later on?

Yes, when revivals come.

That it did.

That it friggin did.

I'm not sure WHAT made me forget entirely to put my Cloris onto this (She's 50cc60 with max affection) but I guess Elizabeth pulled her weight here well enough. After all, it doesn't matter how big their HP bars are if they can't never-ending triple arrows to the face with her skill active.

Was worried though for abit since eventually I decided to throw down Bernard to block off the spot before the Prince once there were too many things not dieing immediately to the gauntlet I had set up, but thankfully he persevered. Drinks all around for Bernard!

One other thing I forgot to mention. First run through with 2 stars, the plat and black spirits dropped, and the successful 3 star run got me the gold spirit.

Another Rainbow spirit for the Odette 16 skill level engine (progress is now 7/16, the road is long and hard but it will be conquered!).

I'm...not sure what you said there, so I'll go with the two best responses I can think of from this

How Charlotte faired in the run: Nothing is more fun than watching two Magic Swords(wo)men fling their magic blades at another. I also approved the irony of it, its like watching the Charlotte/Horace debate except with less...well forum wars.

How Charlotte is fairing in lving progress: I swear ever since Shiho I've never had the luck I did then with CRing these farm event units, but at the very least I got Charlotte to 9/10 on her skill so its not the end of the world. Ada would've broken the crappy CR streak, but the lowest she got was -4. Least Rogue/Assassin units are naturally low cost anyways so its not too impactful, but every unit point reduced does help in its own way.

The key word here is 'try'. The one problem I notice at times with this game is that you can never be too certain about what you're gonna block, specially with units that only have that 1 block count. It doesn't help that if you farm one map ad infinitum, mobs look like they move alittle in their pathing, so its just up to lots of experience with that one map to know when to place units to block that one mob you needed blocked.

It is painful.

I can see why, but there is always room for that one niche unit that could prove useful in future events. Or if your name is Black Karma you get used against the big bad unit of that event.

Not sure if its good to have more luck in getting skill ups than cost reductions, but I'll take what I can get with these farm events :P
