grats. I gave up myself in favor of farming silvers.

So until Summons want to bless me with an Archer with more than Double Shot as a skill, I have to rely on Archers that get Attack steroids.

This means YOU Stray.

And Elizabeth with her neverending arrows of doom.

Edit:

One more swimming fishman map down for the count! So no matter what did, either some archer dies or in the event of retreat and replacement the fishmen get to the safe zone. So then I just put Elizabeth and Victoria one after the other on the top to alleviate pressure off of Spica until the swimming fishmen were more managable. Did I burn a few SCs in the process? Yes. But it was all in the name of making those swimming fishmen see JUSTICE.

This is almost exactly my own situation. Not having Bashira at this point sure hurts a lot.
Even having CC'ed Spica at max lvl and max affection isn't enough to make her survive those freakin' fishes.

I don't have neither Elizabeth nor Victoria, so I guess I'll just keep throwing other ranged units as long as available UP during battle allows me to do so. So far I even tried using Odette (CC'ed max lvl/max affection) as shield with no good results.

Well, I guess if all else fails, I'll have to use the Demoness's Blessing, but I would like to avoid spending SC.

BTW, for us unlucky players without Bashira, do we have to wait until she gets placed in the premium summon spot in the future? or is she going to be back at DC shop again later?

doubt she's gonna be back at the DC shop. it was supposedly a one-time thing for those veterans who missed out on her due to change in tutorial summon

Congrats! I've also given up on spending resources for one extra SC. Had a lot of silver pirates to farm (only 1 left though, yay).

That map is the stuff nightmares are made of. If only we had AW already... it would have been a "bit" easier.

solanos was worse. even horace's last map was harder

I guess I'll go through my G rankings again.

Pirate Life G > Inferno G (Rika) > Flame Beast X (Solano) > Heated Battle G (Horace 1) > Battle in the Scorching Sands G (Horace 2) >>> Dance of the Tentacles G (Azami) > Golden Wolves G (Ada)

This is in combination based on:
-how difficult it was to three-star
-how bad I got wrecked on each during a blind run (except for Scorching Sands, which I looked up because I figured the desert penalty was enough of an excuse to cheat a look-up)
-and how much lacking a solid second inexpensive heavy really hurts my team. I'm sure Pirate Life and Inferno would've been much easier if I had another Bernice to fall back on instead of having to rely on a slightly underleveled but overly expensive Deine.

True about Solano's, I even needed to use a buff. I found Horace's way easier than this one though. It's a matter of what kind of team do you have.

I felt Horace's was easier than both. But only because of Vincent slapping mummies like they were vampires. That guy sure does hate the undead...

In any case. Found this tweet, and hoping there won't be a let down https://twitter.com/nutakugames/stat...09919900704769

the problem with solanos and horace was the tanking required. If you had karma , and marribel + bernice or anything higher , you're okay. I lacked karma , and my main tank at the time was leanne since i didnt gota bernice yet. Got her during the gold rush. meanwhile , i found pirate life g easy. 1 of the accounts even did it during the second run , because that black pirate npc (whose name i can;t remember for some reason) assasinated like 6 fishmen in a row. Failed on the other account like 4-5 times tho before i finally did it

The fact that Minerva is a crutch on Pirate Life G should inherently make that map harder than the rest, because of how RNG assassination is.

Hell, I was using Berna and Saki and still suffered during the gilmen rush.

At least the other maps are more straightforward in how you should handle it. Solano was all about DPS. Horace had tricky placement and heavy micromanagement with hard-hitters and lichs.

Rika... had that really stupid trollworthy Efreet, so that was why it took second place for me. I looked up a video of that, saw how idiotic its pathfinding was, and decided to nuke it with Nanaly/Karma early just to get it out of the way.

Azami and Ada's G maps were more like X maps, so they aren't really worth mentioning.
