tough. which is why under lafate's guides, he mentioned it would be best if your starting PS summons included a princess. under most circumstances, a valk would replace a princess (simply takes way longer to kill the enemy unit). Unless that unit has to be killed within a time limit (before next wave spawns), otherwise just a valk will do. most of the time you won't get the free slot to place a mage/witch for that magic dmg assist

This makes me a little curious..

if in any case it happens such that I place a valk along with a mage assist.
will this combination be more affective than just putting a princess

also can any other unit replace a princess (temporarily)..

basically, a princess fills the duelist role (and/or MR tank/lightning rod), so only a valk can really be close, although bandits can potentially take on this role with their high hp pool.
in any case, a collection event for a princess should be coming to us soon (claudia) so best to just prep your SCs for her.

and no, I don't think there is any combination that is more effective than just putting a princess. in fact, most guide videos won't use princesses unless absolutely necessary.

depends. i have 2 lvl 160 + accounts. 1 has no princess yet and the other has a themis...which i don't even use at the moment. Princesses CAN be replaced by valks , barbarians and even magic fencers. Most of the times , u need a general duelist to block a strong boss because u will rarely have a princess just 1v1 it anyawy , and for that , there are enough units that can fill that niche. That being said , a magic fencer can act like a princess in melee for a short time because they change their attacks to magical (so they ignore armor just like a princess)...but all that requires you to make adjustments , which is not easy if your acount is low level. Having a princess makes it all easier

Generally speaking the best replacement for a Princess is a Bandit.... unless you need to tank Magic damage then it is Valkyrie...

No I have no read anything but the title....

to be honest, i never had a princess till recently and i never had any problems clearing most maps except maybe Gs, and that was due to a lack of healers.

Most guides that i use, dont even use a princess to clear them. The most common drops used for single tanking are valks or bandits

This. And honestly, if we're talking about silver units then overall I'm quite a bit more fond of the silver bandits than I am of Elaine. Elaine's stats and skill combo make her kind of a jack of all trades/master of none, a role that doesn't fit very well with being a low tier unit and the correspondingly low stats and affection bonus such status entails. By contrast Eunice can give up his defense stat in exchange for the ability to punch the ever lovin' shit out of people.
