Thanks again Kyo! Tip for others: - you can use Eyja S3 instead to burst kill if AFK is iffy. You may need to time it for the awakened robots though. - bring Nearlter if possible, S2 to help Surtr to kill Dorothy and an added distraction from the boss and ranged robots - bring an extra medic if possible, like Lumen to negate stuns. Place him at two tiles to Ptilopsis’ left, facing right. My run ended with Ejya getting relocated beside Shining after killing the bottom robots so she can kill the other robots faster.
If you don't have Ptilopsis built, just go Perfumer instead. Perfumer with lvl 1 module heals 4 targets and gives regen to Mudrock and Eyja, so it's pretty broken since the rocket gundams hit 4 targets anyway. The bigger problem is actually killing the boss in time on CM before it teleports on top on Thorns and kills your aoe medic and Eyja. That being said, it's pretty easy to solve, just deploy Surtr on the tile left of Saria to help with the damage.
@@velhesvalden1309 Yea, that's the worst mechanic of the game. It forces you to have to perfect each stage instantly if you have no practice tickets and want to preserve sanity.
Idk why people don't complain more about this, it's literally why people keep guiding. Sanity is so scarce in this game and heavily monetized. You get punished for making mistakes and/or being bad. They keep saying some bullshit excuses like people will lose interest blabla but we have CC that's literally infinite tries. They can't even be consistent. Can you imagine if they put sanity punishment on CC? That's literally what these CM modes are. Don't even get me started on the useless practice plans. At best they are only good for guide makers who don't want to waste sanity making guides. No point in doing practice plans when you can just watch an actual run and not have to repeat the stage. If you narrowly cleared it in practice run, congrats now try to repeat it again on the actual run where you will have a high chance of failing. They could literally make the game x10 better by just removing sanity punishment and prompting you to use sanity once you clear it. But the people that keep failing on CM and refreshing/using pots is giving them a lot of revenue so they don't. ^ source above is me, I used to use pots and keep trying CM stages but kept failing so I was just burning money lol. It's hard to be bad at this game.
yeah, beeswax (and i suspect any phalanx caster) works nicely as a meat shield for the AoE healer, plus they can help out killing the boss once the healer isn't in danger anymore
None of my phalanx casters are leveled and Ptil is only E250, but she's also S2M3mod3 and triggering her skill at the right moment allowed her to heal through the spikes. I also brought Perfumer and placed her on the tile above where Kyo put Sail (I used Elysium instead).
You can use phalanx caster to solve the problem on how keeping ptilopsis alive as mentioned in 2:58 I don't know what is minimum level because my phalanx casters are already E2 + leveled quite high and all of them can tank the spike + wave as long as they don't activate their skills. Use Lin S1 for AFK options, just activate the skill when the boss moved away and Lin is no longer in its attack range.
whew, my Ptil did die, but I was able to tank with Shining and Saria until I could just redeploy her in the same spot. I think it helped that I kept Myrtle around, so she soaked an extra hit too!
Also, you can leave Myrtle in the field. You dont need that DP but being on field will take some damage from boss as and Myrtle can easly heal herself out of it in case you might need bit more survivability :)
e2 50 ptylo can survive the teleport + line attack with a sliver of health, activate second skill when you see it teleport and she'll just keep herlself alive.
I couldn't complete this for the longest time. Then Dommy Mommy Arturia came to leash and collar me from my pulls! The boss has E-Rank Elemental resistance. Thus, it melted to Arturia's Ara-Ara Death Solo!
i dont have thorns, ptilopsis or a 2nd flagbearer. i used texas e2 module stage 1 in place of saileach and e2 module stage 3 perfumer in place of ptilopsis. ended up a little behind on DP with this; placed yato alter and lancet down on the first explosion to make sure eyja survives, then retreated them both. surtr cant get down in time to kill dorothy, she walked out of surtrs range with 50%, so i dropped yato alter s2 on her a few times to finish her off. she did manage to kill shining because of this and perfumer ended up dying to the explosion + spike combo, causing saria to die after, but it worked out okay. after saria died i rotated placing down texas and myrtle to eat spikes for thorns until deployment times were back up for those that died. this probably wont help anyone, but im leaving the comment in case anyone can pull any ideas from it if youre missing ops like me :)
This stage is depressing me so hard. My ops are mostly E2 Lvl 25 and Idie when there are only the 2 last mechs aliven and I cna't for the life of me find a solution to my run
Eyja can be replaced with a high damage aoe caster, so pudding and astgenne should be okay replacements(the aoe caster branch doesn’t actually do damage lol) golden glow has enough damage to kill both as well probably with s1, don’t use s3 because drones won’t target the bots. Idk about carnelian, but she should be able to do it with s3. Lava alter with s1 might work, but has to be very high level. Maybe other casters can work with supports, like click or haze with arts guard support. Surtr just can’t be replaced, the bots are placed perfectly for her, just borrow.
@@nguyenucminh8970 the arts dps needed isn’t as high as I expected, since the caster targets the far bot and the close one can’t be activated due to saria blocking. My click e1 lvl 50 managed to work, with cantabile blocking the front to prevent activation. Myrtle should work as well, just place 2 tiles left of thorns, until far bot is killed

Kyo: *deploys Thorns* Deploy Eyja here facing left
Me: Ah yes, the Kyo forgetting meta ops names lore continues.
Thanks! Another banger of a guide as usual! Cheers!!

FINALLY THANK YOU!!! I've tried several guides and this is the only one that worked for me! None of my ops were maxed, too.

"rocket gundams" lmao
and now that it is re run you can use yalter or texalter to decimate the big boss :) even easier!
Had to bring Another medic since my Ptilo was dying, but this strat worked for me even with underleveled OPs
Thanks
This challenge mode was the one map where I was stuck. Thanks for the help. ❤🎩
I feel guilty to my future self watching this. It's like watching movie recaps and getting spoiled by those
as long as HG will not remove the sanity penalty for failing a stage many of us will be spoiled.
To see where they go and how they path its unkown everytime

Beeswax is a solid choice for the range tile to protect Ptilopsis, E170 was more than enough for my run
I used my Carnelian after reading this... many thanks!

This guide gave me the victory now I can sleep in peace. Thank you kyo-chan
Thank you as always, our lord and savior
I'm glad u returned, I was afraid u suffered comatose after excessive hours of max risking cc 🙏

You can use Cornelia to help Philitopsis stay alive by using her a meat shield, and since her gimmick is tanky caster it would quite well.
thanks for your video

Not me finding the AFK strategy easier than the other one lol
first kyo thanks my ally
Thanks for the video. I made it
Thanks
Perfumer has a lot of Hp too so she can work. I have her e2 lv 60 and she worked.
2:28 killing Dorothy 😢
Actually, we can just redeploy ptilopsis if she die because of the boss.
i dont have thorns, ptilopsis or a 2nd flagbearer. i used texas e2 module stage 1 in place of saileach and e2 module stage 3 perfumer in place of ptilopsis. ended up a little behind on DP with this; placed yato alter and lancet down on the first explosion to make sure eyja survives, then retreated them both. surtr cant get down in time to kill dorothy, she walked out of surtrs range with 50%, so i dropped yato alter s2 on her a few times to finish her off. she did manage to kill shining because of this and perfumer ended up dying to the explosion + spike combo, causing saria to die after, but it worked out okay. after saria died i rotated placing down texas and myrtle to eat spikes for thorns until deployment times were back up for those that died.

ขอบคุณ
Yay Lappy
I didnt expect thorn to do that much dmg huh
you mean Thorns is a good sub for double deploy Eyja? good to know
Can you turn your mic up for future videos? it's hard to hear you sometimes
ptilopsis e2 lvl 40 survives with 1hp but i have lvl 70 pot6 shining to sustain her
This stage is depressing me so hard. My ops are mostly E2 Lvl 25 and Idie when there are only the 2 last mechs aliven and I cna't for the life of me find a solution to my run
1:19 Eyja :))
idk how i did it but it worked! ptilo still died tho lol
if it helps my lvl 50 ptilopsis with lvl2 module survives just fine ^^
E250 no module Ptilo survives with the slimmest margins but she does survive.
any replacement for mudrock? I'm already borrowing surtr
Why is Ptilopsis pointing up?
Any possible replacement for either Surtr or Eyja? (I dont have both of them 😢)
Eyja can be replaced with a high damage aoe caster, so pudding and astgenne should be okay replacements(the aoe caster branch doesn’t actually do damage lol) golden glow has enough damage to kill both as well probably with s1, don’t use s3 because drones won’t target the bots. Idk about carnelian, but she should be able to do it with s3. Lava alter with s1 might work, but has to be very high level. Maybe other casters can work with supports, like click or haze with arts guard support.
Surtr just can’t be replaced, the bots are placed perfectly for her, just borrow.
