Thread: Swordswoman of the Boiling Sand Guide

thats because I'm too lazy to find a more precise guide on what to level, and I pretty much managed on my own by thinking and reading some of these stuff. and they're all links by the one who has been coming up with all these guide threads for us after all.
and unfortunately, as the 'veterans' have been saying, it's up to us to learn how to 'manage' to grind ourselves up to match the back-to-back events, since having breaks is not an option apparently.

ok i am 3-4 weeks in and i just burnt 60-70 SC on rolls. I started suspecting i might be gay after obtaining 6 male characters straight (valerie, crave, julian, korujo etc) then followed by a bunch of rogues. (cuterie, cecily, berna etc)
I am not sure what to think about these rolls, silver/gold with spice of black. (only exceptions are stella and bernice).

Question:
Right now who should i focus on for the event? Stella, bernice or just power level berna?

I only got a few cc units,
katie 50cc50
iris 50cc40
valerie 50cc40
leeanne 50cc40
danielle 50cc40
cloris 50cc30
calliope 50cc20

I need the wise advice of you perverts! Help me oh great master roshes, and make this krillan get android 18(s)

Ps: i wanted to cc bashira but i realised too late i shouldn't combine silver units i got from missions. Now i only have a single spare soma :sad face:

lv up berna first, she can kill almost anything in the game with luck, these lichs ogres mummies & knight can be killed 1 blow by her skill even if her skill don´t kill it, with her hp she can tank even a lich with 2 healer on her
and pray to goddess for other archer to bashira

stat wise, berna seems pretty much similar to my lvl 40 cyria. That is why i am somewhat hesitant to level her up straight. I mean, i know she is used as a spot drop to remove targets off the map since she has like a 2 sec timer on her ability but she looks subpar for my current needs. Not sure if i need to give katie more love or something because i have trouble at dailies H and i don't even dare try IB

One of the main strengths of black units, aside from the usual slightly higher (or plain higher) stats is the fact that their skills can be used as soon as you deploy them (1 sec cd). This is extremely useful in the case of skills such as instant kills or immortality (Karma), to put two examples. I would go with Berna, you won't regret it.

Edit: Show Katie some love as well. Units like her are irreplaceable in many situations.

Feels good knowing i can now farm it freely

->Open Spoiler<-

now it's time to focus on Final battle in the dark night, if i can 3* it then i wont need to even bother with the scorching desert G map

berna have like 1800 hp and have the skill ready at summon, then you can drop berna in face of a lich or some and kill it with luck, if she don´t kill it at least she can tank it, in solano event berna have saved my ass with these black ogres
katie mmm it been a long time without use her... aria stole her place

there are times where you need to tank while still getting UP, that's where Katie shines over Aria

just get your core units to 50CC40 100% affection and you should be able to manage. (2 healers 1 tank 2 archers 1 witch 1 mage is typically the very very minimum setup)

or if you're willing to put in the effort, read http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showpost.php...&postcount=159

Well... I don't actually have any SC's. I tried to get a decent unit from the premium summon.
Also I made the mistake of not reading a warning when trying to get into a stage about it using an SC.

I am following that first guide as closely as I can. I've got one archer at 32 another at 27. A witch at 17, 2 mages at 18 and 14. Katie is at 23, Phyllis is at 22. I also got the tanks Leeanne and Bernard at 20. Oh and Healer Iris at 20, and Robert at 10.
I have three-starred the first two event missions, but was unable to complete the next two.

Katie is hard to take seriously at 13 cost. She is quite good other than the fact that she has never been farmable or even gatchable (on DMM). It would be nice if she could switch places with Julian.
