Lupo Defending Time

IS-S-4 CM 2 Defender
Although it's a simple squad, some of the tactics (Horn S1 for invis, retreating at certain times to saturate Penance SP, avoiding leaks from block count saturation) were fun. It took 20 or so tries for the right timings, cause the ending is fairly close with all the cars almost leaking and Penance's HP management.
Music: Horn Theme

I'm absolutely fascinated by how optimised, and close, this clear is. Well done! Also the music choice was very good. Not just because she co-stars, but because she feels like one of the finickier parts. Not to forget that extra Penance auto before her Skill activation.

Not much else to do for a rerun, decided I might as well show that for some maps Defender Only is the same op count as unrestricted since CN never did it (no unit can solo this CM, even Ling)

Aye horn S1 and added value out of invisible reveal

1:38 very clever Horn's revival use here

Very cool clear! Though there's something that still confuses me a bit and I see it a lot but I never understood why. Very often I see people placing units facing away where they'd benefit from their extra range (like you did with penance facing her to the left instead of down where she has one extra tile of range) Any particular reason for doing that?
As I've said I see it all the time but I can never make sense as to why people do this.

[@tumsYT]

The range only lets me hit weak mobs earlier, which reduces my Penance SP
The Cleaners are invisible and thus I gain no benefit in DPS

[@Hurricane047]

@@tumsYT ah, that makes sense, for some reason I did not think about the fact that you want penance to get hit as much as possible to charge her skill, thanks!

[@tobyclone16]

Is it bad if I use Blemi so much that seeing a defensive recovery skill not go up when attacking looks wrong to me.

[@xdmamakkopitiam8930]

Why's penance not faced down?

[@Only_Ameen04]

Need to be hit to charging her skill, facing down will make her killed enemies sooner thus not charging her skill

Now try IS-S-5 with Lupo only
