Thread: Need some advice

best would be to complete some story maps , just enough to unlock flame dragon and dragon hunting. Those are 2 very good farming maps.

I think kotono had a guide on 3staring most story missions

*sees a mikoto*
I suggest you sell that account. there's a guy willing to buy an account with mikoto in this forum :3 feel free to raise the price. I think $1k from a $100 input is worth it.

@yoxal: tower overwatch isn't actually a good place. Return to Ruins is better if you can commission sortie it, since the unit drops are lvl 14 each and thus give more exp on combine.

as for the rest, refer to pinned threads in this forum by Lafate; they're good guides for beginners

as for FarK, his suggestion is as good as his red reputation. rare that he isn't going bonkers, but 2 soldiers wouldnt be as urgent as 1 soldier (katie) and 1 heavy armor.

@soranokira - Thanks for the video guide. It actually helped me 3* Return to Ruins and commission sortie it.

So far, my priority list goes like this according to you guys: Katie (got her to lv. 49 atm) > Bashira (decided to replace Soma with Bashira) > Iris > Bernice > Daniela > Christopher/Alissa > Mikoto > Pallis > Cloris > Olivie > Clissa > Valerie > rest

So after spending my 5 SCs I got from levelling up to 40, I got her:


So the question here is should I switch Olivie for Sybilla or continue using Olivie? Both seem good, so I can't decide.

for the record, I'd suggest you control your SC spending such that you achieve 50/100/150 before month ends. for the better stamp card. anything exceeding should be saved for future. as well as for charisma/stamina refills for collection events/farm events where you intend to max an event unit and/or farm specific silver units.

for princess, get both. Olivie and sybilla both are good and should be level'd. however, olivie has priority in rainbow fairy when skill up. I'd suggest sybilla first though, because olivie skill reliance is risky before you get it to 5/5.

I suggest getting valerie up before pallis, because valerie has higher base atk ignoring affection and skill, and the fact that he can be used in male-only missions increases his usefulness, and early game you should be struggling with aff items so pallis can take a backseat first.

aim to clear challenge missions up to phalanx 2 (refer to etheternal playlist again, he has one for challenge missions. some of them can be 1* skipped for the sake of rushing to phalanx 2 for most efficient aff farming + plat fairy to cc bashira)

might want to consider putting cloris after bashira as well, in order to clear challenge missions (like backwater 2 and phalanx 2 itself which needs mikoto + cloris probably)

refer etheternal guide again for upcoming monday: begins in 3.5h as of this post. I suggest keeping charisma/stamina for it, as well balancing leveling and farming monday daily (I myself used SC on charisma refill, then used up excess charisma on monday daily before leveling when I started new in DMM Aigis a month before)

@soranokira - Thanks for the tips. I started farming for money today. Unfortunately, my units are nowhere good enough to take on Hard Mode. My goal right now is get my units to be high enough to 1* skip Castle Retake.

Anyone know what is the minimum level Mikoto can be CCed at? Her max base level is 80, which is pretty high than the standard 50.

She doesn't get CC'd. Much like princesses she just keeps leveling til her max level and stay there. This of course means the units that do not get CC'd get more stats as they level.

that being said, don't cc units as soon as u can (for ex at lvl 30) because you lose stats

Atm, my Katie is 50CC15 and Bashira is at lv. 44 w/o CC. Probably going to level Bashira up to 50 and CC her if I have enough resources. I'm aiming for all my other units in my current team to be around lv. 30-40 without CC. Hopefully that is sufficient for me to 1* skip Castle Retake. I'm trying to follow AuraKingdomSita's guide for that.

Is Cypria's Assassinate II always based on luck? I remember it hitting the black knights pretty frequently in Armor of the Dead and I can't seem to even hit the one in Castle Retake.

Like what lolix said: katie > bashira > iris > bernice (add bashira and bernice to your core team NOW)

I would prefer if you skip silver archers if you are a premium user. Because you can just farm 200 DC on a thursday for the awesome spica.
200 DC = 10-15 SC if you rush for it (better to do once you get your core team up...you need roughly 1 CC-ed archer + healer thats all)

Alissa's 30CC is salvagable. Just DO NOT put Aff on her or Lvl her. She can be considered "AW fodder"

Your NO.1 priority is to get your core team to 30 then CC30. Start with bashira unless you got spica or nanaly. Archers are essential in all stages.

Save silver units. You'll need it for CC+AW.
When in doubt on what to level, always follow the colour code: Black first->Plat->Gold->Silver last
Especially true since you can spend to cost down your units.

Affection is most useful for units of higher rarity meaning blacks and plats benefit the most from it. Use it on them first if you deploy them frequently. I myself didn't max aff on katie till the 5th or 6th unit.
