Shame I couldn't do more, but I fought to get those 12 stars. To think I started out with a Prince that had barely passed level 20, and I am now at 72 XD.

Now I just need to figure out how to get more soul crystals, and silver units I need for CCing.

grats. farm monday daily that is coming soon for gold and use it on 2k summons for silver units, if you need them urgently.

Yup, I did a few times today. Only doing normal and I got maybe 5 Gold armours alltogether today. Not sure if I want to chance losing on Hard difficulty
They'd be nice to have, especially if I could get more Daniela to Cost Reduce my main archer, and a few Allisa would be good too. Can Pallis be obtained from 2k summon?

Also how difficult is the THursday daily hard mode? I would like to get enough crystals for Spica.

Hi all new to this forum but been playing Aigis since before Fairy Village Crisis. I managed to get in under the wire in getting all the stars. I had spent a fair share of SCs on fast leveling and CCing 6 units (Golds / Plats) to a high enough level to finish and 3 star Dark Night X, after many many attempts, I had followed a video by Key Kii I had to add a 4th healer in order to keep Kerry up to tank Horace after I did that it was easy....too bad I didn't realize that much sooner. I tried Heated Battle G and 1 starred it, I did use the buffs so I could 3 star it and finish the event just in time it seems. I know this post is after the severs went down for maintenance (Well for me anyway).

yes pallis can be obtained from 2k summons. thursday hard mode is pretty tough but easy if you have the following: 2 50CC40+ silver+ archers, 1 or 2 healers (cc'd preferred), 1 MR tank (maybe kerry can take that role). basically, the requirement is just 2 shotting every monster that comes. if you can't 2 shot with your archers, you might want to consider doing N first. (approximately 350 atk each before prince buff for both archers I believe.)

Great, she's my main mage at the moment, working on CCing Valerie.
Most of my CCed units are in the 30's, some are close to 40 like Pallis 50CC38. Also have CCed Daniela, Iris, Leeanne, Calliope.
Working on CCing Valerie, Alissa and Soma. Then Katie, Cloris and not sure who.

i am doing thursday hard mode easily with 1 cc-ed archer 1 non cc-ed/1 cc-ed healer 1 non/ 1 tank/ prince buff. Max aff on healers/archers other than non cc-ed ones.

don't waste silver archers to cost reduce other silvers. Archers are one of the most used fodder in cc. That being said , a lot of really good archers can be obtained even for free (duh , bashira is a free giveaway - unless you got kerry > whichi kinda doubt since you seem newer at this game - and spica is a 200 DC unit from trading post. Both are really good , but to cc a platinum archer u need 3 silver archers , so they are quite expensive)

PS: you can even get gold units from 2k summon (but very rarely). For example , i got a cyrus and a conrad from it. I think there was a guy posting in the 100 2k summons thread that he even got a platinum. Yes , on average , if you're lucky and got extra gold , doing gold summons can't hurt. That being said , i'd try to raise my gold piles now in preparation for awakening , since that is a very costly process.

I'm not sure if its supposed to be like that or if its an error, but wasn't Horace's skill supposed to be a 1.7 boost to attack and not 1.3 at 5/5?

It's her stats pre-patched. Her stats and skills will eventually reach the same ones as in the jp. magic fencers got a nerfing patch which also reduced their cost.

Ah okay then, was somewhat worried it was an error. Still I wonder how this changes things until such time that Horace does get her 1.7 boost...

*One number crunching session later*

Ooookay, assuming one pushed for a perfect Horace and has max affection, her skill still makes her better than Charlotte attack-wise if Charlotte is under the same conditions (max aff, max CR, max skill). Mind you the difference between the two units attack powers with skills on is minimal, but with me every point matters. If anything, assuming one has a perfect Horace, her use vs Charlotte is gonna have to depend on how well you did in Charlotte farming to get her UC down.

->Open Spoiler<-

Which for me means Horace gets priority, since poor Charlotte is at 25 UC after cc and once I cc Horace she'll be decently cheaper than her.

Skill duration/cooldown (assuming max skill lv, 10/10 and 5/5 respectively) is still the usual though with these two: Charlotte for when she's needed (15 sec skill duration, 34 sec reuse timer), and Horace for the long-term (30 sec skill duration, 50 sec reuse timer).
