DehNutCase Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 1 minute ago, phineas81707 said: My team is Tharja for bonus points, Nino, Linde, and Lissa because even Blade mages need heals occasionally. Suggestions for where to fit Klein? Klein goes in the 'range dps' slot, so you should replace one of the mages, I think. That said, the maps were easy enough that I did fine without using a healer---Lucina's Falchion keeps her topped, Cordelia's brave-lance means very few things get to hit her, and both Lucina and B.Cordelia has desperation, so even being low hp isn't much of a problem anyway. It helps that Cordelia has reposition, Lucina has swap, and Azura is Azura, meaning it's really easy for me to position for minimal enemy phase damage. tl;dr Basically just remove whoever you want (probably not Tharja because bonus & red, red being important vs. the final map, since Veronica is green).

Arthur97 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Veronica's map is ridiculously unbalanced compared to the rest of the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azurrys Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 10 minutes ago, DehNutCase said: Colorless archers should do amazing in Tempest. There's only 3 Raven users since they don't seem to randomize weapons, so archers just deliver pointy death from 2 range without problems. I'm running a B.Cordelia with just L&D 1 and regular Brave Bow, and she's been 1RKOing most things. (It helps that she has Lucina and regular Cordelia backing her up, though, along with Azura support.) Distant counter is basically just 4 units in the game, and 2 ranged units don't have bulk, so she just kills everyone without fearing counters, and anything she can't take care of, Lucina can do it for free (Falchion healing), or Cordelia can just brave-lance to death. I can agree with that--Klein has been pretty awesome so far. The main problem is that he doesn't contribute enough on the last map, being unable to 1RKO anyone there and mostly getting doubled and killed in return... though that might be because mine is -SPD. In every other map, he's pretty great! Tharja is honestly the one who isn't contributing quiiite enough to the team but bonus unit lol. I have a feeling my speed rating will suffer heavily if I take out Azura and Reinhardt is possibly more important than Klein, so I might ultimately still try to sub him out. I did a run subbing Cecilia over him, but accidentally misplayed on an early map so I couldn't see if she would help carry the team on the final one. I'll try again later.

Luchi Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 822 points so far... This is going to be a slog. The Lunatic maps are beyond brutal. Maybe I should grind on Hard and see how my points fare. >< Still, 20 Stamina for 5-ish fights is nothing to scoff at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silith13 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Are the maps the same every time? And what prevents me from doing just hard difficulty to get the cummilitive points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell the map layouts and always the same, but the actual enemies in them change every time (though Veronica is consistently in the last stage of Lunatic). Uhh efficiency, I imagine? If you can't do Lunatic efficiently enough (in terms of deaths/time) for it to be worth it, then you should be fine just sticking with Hard.

I'll pay more attention this next run and see. I'm fairly certain I've gotten the same maps each time though, just with different units (I'm doing the highest difficulty of Lunatic) Edited June 8, 2017 by MaskedAmpharos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrai Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The final map is freakin' hard! I definitely need a strong Red mage to beat Veronica. I just survived with 1 HP Leo on the last team =w= Still. Going to be amazing. I'll keep playing this, but I'll make sure to spend wisely. 1 Stamina Potion per day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always gotten an armor, Reinhardt/Olwen, an infantry ranged unit, a melee horse, and Veronica. So yes, you're right. (Though the infantry doesn't have to be colorless. I'm actually on her map rn, and there isn't a single colorless enemy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflolxp54 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Ugh, that Veronica. She had to run Fury 3 on top of that blasted Elivagar tome. And that's only on Hard mode. 5* Tharja is not a hot answer to Veronica on Hard and higher. And Hector barely tanked a Bonfire-boosted attack from Veronica (lived at only 1HP from full health; neutral HP and Res Hector). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the map four times now and literally never not gotten one of the Thracia Thunder Twins. But it does make sense that it would just be "ranged cavalry" and not specifically those two. Just RNG being RNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
