So, I made an entire profile here and everything just to ask... how am I supposed to win as Hinoka's team? No one's really talking about it much so I figure I'll get it started. I'm going in order and trying to beat the DLC with everyone at least once, but I just can't do it with her team.
Hinoka's overall damage is kinda unimpressive, and because of her spear subtracting a little from defense and resistance, she can't take much damage. Speed's not a problem with her, but I still can't get her to dodge at all so I dunno. Not to mention positioning her is rough when she has to deal with archers.
Azama makes me really frustrated. Sure, he's got heals, and renewal, and enough defense to tank some hits, but with his only weapon being a Dual Naginata and his skill being sub-par, if you don't have weapon advantage then you will most likely not be hitting. He does do damage when he hits though, though it's usually not a double attack. Giving him the Bolt Naginata is an option, since he has more magic, but then you'll lose out on the double attacks that Hinoka provides.
Setsuna is your main form of damage, because she will almost always hit each shot and hit high, but that doesn't do much for you when she's sitting at nine defense most of the time. She gets killed by counter-attacks most of the time for me, and I've found that most of my resets are because she gets killed way too early.
And, topping things off, you get a pretty unfortunate spawn. Stuck between Xander's danger zones, Leo's danger zones, and a charging Sakura right off the bat isn't too fun, especially when your team can't take hits well and your royal sibling is a flier. The worst part of it all is that Effie usually ends up moving with Takumi's team, and if they mix together, you're pretty much losing a unit for sure.
Maybe I'm just doing things wrong or taking the wrong approach, but I'm about twenty-five resets in and can't get past Takumi's team. Anyone got any ideas or tips?
