I managed to get 5 extra copies of Azami. But now my unit list is completely full. There's a few extra silvers I dont really need right now, like the silver Lancer, and several silver bandits. When is the best time to combine them to reduce CR and up skills? After CC? And how, do I just combine the one copy of her with nothing else?

If the question is CCing Azami...

Step 1: Is Saki a purchase in the near future for you? If yes, get her and throw all but one Azami into Saki. If no, proceed to step 2.

Step 2: Go ahead and pick one Azami to funnel all her clones into.

Its worthy to note that both Azami and Saki don't have a skill change after CC, so any skill lvs gained won't be lost in transition.

Btw, define several silver bandits. If you are rolling in silver bandits, take some of the clones and put them into the main ones for free CRs and skill lvs. Assuming you don't have better bandits than Eunice and Mortimer the both of them are decent as anti-lich sledgehammers.

Edit: Just make sure to leave like 4 or so bandits as spares for CCs though. You'd be surprised what can need a silver bandit for CC.

I was able to use my new account created on Saturday to farm maps 1 and 2 easily. It couldn't handle map 3. I couldn't get Azami to drop but I got a nice CR Bronze Ninja for my male team out of it.

Even as a free player I rather disagree with lolix regarding breaks. I understand that there's a sense of feeling left out when events are going and you're struggling with the top level maps. However, if you can just manage to perfect clear 2 or 3 of the early maps you're still effectively increasing your SC income by 50% for the month. Furthermore, I also think it's somewhat foolish to act as if lower tier map drops are completely useless to farm due to low event unit drop rates. For example, I personally chose to more or less punt on getting a good Ada, Charlotte, Azami or Rikka but I went ahead and spent Saturdays & Sundays farming the lower end maps anyway. I did the same thing with Horace and Solano events too. Why? Because 10% drop rates on silver units isn't so bad when you're only spending somewhere from 20-30 charisma and 1-3 stamina to enter the maps in the first place. This has allowed me to do silly crap like perfect Phyllis but still have 13 silver soldiers waiting in the wings to serve as Awakening & CC fodder--I've still got a half dozen Rosalies collecting dust and I wasn't even around during the Faerie Village event.

your failure to understand how the game mechanics work make me unable to see how you can possibly carry on following these guide videos. you're not even trying to understand what happens at every point in time and why the units are placed the way they are.

i just read and find out lich will attack unit placed last, so only one question left, why my 2 mages can not handle big trolls fast enough

no idea why your mages couldnt kill the old man mage within 2 hits, allowing him to blast your units twice. try using a better mage. also, more importantly, his phyllis was 100% aff and your phyllis obviously has 0. I saw your phyllis with only 220+ def while etheternal's vid has phyllis at 308 def. (all with prince buff)

next time, don't only look at unit levels. you're doing nothing but following blindly. look at the stats of the units in the video and compare them to your own. you can easily see stats when the video clicks on the unit to withdraw or to use a skill (have to calculate their stats by 100/119 or 100/121 when prince is deployed in the video)

You need to learn to be flexible and see for yourself what you're doing wrong vs what happens at that point in the guide video. sometimes, deploy stronger units than in the video (or weaker ones, for lower cost to manage cost issues) so that things are easier, and so on.

You deployed Eunice too late, which means liches fired a free round to your Alyssa. That ruined the target priority of all your healers and your timings with deployments as well. That's why liches slowly started destroying your army, one by one. Losing Katie fairly early on is not an issue since you had enough UP to take on the liches. The problem with that map is that completing it with those units is like cooking a good dish: you have to be methodic and spot on with your decisions. One mistake, and your plan will be ruined as you saw.

3 mages can wipe the bulk of enemies that come before the liches. You have to focus on deployment and withdrawal to keep those pesky liches entertained with beefy units. Your Alyssa can take up to 2 shots, but not more than that. On the mages: we would need to know their affection aside from the level. Male units tend to have better base stats but less trust growth, while females have worse base stats but better affection growth. The reason why Eth uses 3 Valeries is to use their skill to quickly clean the clusterfuck at the end and focus on dealing with these liches as fast as possible.

IMO, this event's map 3 was tougher than usual. The ninjas that throw the larger shuriken hit pretty hard and can decimate ranged units pretty quickly.

On the other hand, map 4 was much easier than the usual map 4 difficulty. Still probably a tall hurdle for new players, but still much more manageable compared to other events.

No she is not, I just purchased Spica and got her to 50 (need more silver archers for CC). I'm back up to 54 DC, but I was thinking using that for another Spica to increase her skills...

So what Im wondering is when to do it. Should I do it after I CC her?

For bandits I have 2 Mortimer, 2 Eunice, and three gold Conrad.
I don't really use the bandits though, but if I can get use out of them if I put their copies in them for CR or better skills yeah maybe.
Oh. So hmm, I have the 4 silver and three golds. Maybe I should just leave the silvers, and level up the Gold Conrad?
