The Treacherous Pirate Guide

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.

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

Minerva is the one you're thinking of.

If anything, Pirate Life G can be a cakewalk or a nightmare based on the rng for assassinations. If its good, Minerva will give you a nice headcount of dead fish for your wall. If its bad, then you'll be overran by 'Revenge of the Sushi' assuming you don't have enough of a HA+Healer backbone to support you during this map.

In my case, I had to rely on a lv 50 Maribel and Bernice with max aff and tossed Echidna into my healer pile in order to keep them going until all the fishmen had died. The only thing that nearly stopped my 3* on first run were the black goblin mages that pop up with the scythe demons at the end, but they were dealt with via Elizabeth and her neverending supply of arrows.

Yes, those were harder enemy-wise, you didn't tank enough you lose, but i could do them on the 3rd try at most, this map i kept fucking something up (as stated before), and that is harder on my book, because even if i waited a bit too long on their Gs, i didn't get punished this bad, i could adapt my formation even hold some enemies with 4UP soldiers; but this map i had UP very tight by the time of the issue, and when i had UP to spare was after this point...

Maybe my brain goofed on this event and that's why i couldn't recover once, while i could on other G maps

Yeah, totally agree with this; i had my Sybilla with her skill up but even if she assassinated something, it was one of those black goblins, not the fish that were giving me truble... and Minerva not even once killed the fishman that sliped thru, just those tanked by my Maribel up higher...

Oh well, that nightmare is on the past now

Which map dropped double pirates? phone can't load most images here by the looks of it...

Can't say that I've ever seen Revenge of the Sushi, myself, and I used Bernice and Maribel as my blocks on that map too.

I've only ever had one occasionally slip by, and it always went to the northeast. That was never an issue as I could easily just withdraw a soldier and drop in Anya to finish it off without even needing heal support. And considering that Anya can do it, that means there is a whole world of options to replace her with.. Karma or any premium princess could (Themis maybe not..?). Rogue/Monk or even Ninja with heal support could fill the role too. If for some reason more than just the one are slipping by for you, Saki is probably the best bet there, considering she has ranged assassination too.

In my case, when one slipped to the northeast exit I just replaced my UP generator with Olivie (5/5 skill lv ftw) and once that fish was dead just have Saki take a spot near there for extra ranged assassinations.

thank you very much sir :)

I have enough stars to get a fully tricked out sailor. To get that last star to get a basic Beatrice I have to either 3 star Sea Monsters or 1 star Another Encounter. I don't think my team is up to either task. I will likely keep grinding and give it a last ditch effort on the last day.

So wish my original account was playable as I would have done it with ease with that.

Still I'm happy with the Sailor :)

Dang Black pirate chick owns xD , now... to just get her up in lv's, but I doubt il get mineva for a free guy who dont have much troops and low lv guys to fight with, this is... so hard, how did you guys do it.?
