Summary

The transcript provides an in-depth strategy guide for gameplay, detailing character placements, skill usage, and timing to maximize efficiency and success. It emphasizes optimizing damage output, managing curse debuffs, healing, and shielding the team during critical moments. The use of specific character abilities, such as Shizuko’s skills and Wakamo’s shield, is highlighted for effective damage control and survivability. The strategy also covers adjusting team compositions based on different game phases and enemy mechanics, ensuring flexibility for varied encounters.

Takeaways

• 😀 Position Shizuko correctly to avoid damage RNG and ensure consistency in damage output, especially when dealing with the purple Relic.
• 😀 Start with Kakona for RNG in damage to handle the unpredictability, as sometimes Wakamo X fails to take out enemies.
• 😀 Prioritize using Shizuko's abilities to shield your team from AoE attacks, particularly when preparing for curses or healing.
• 😀 Use Wakamo and Himari in synergy to deal with healing and buffs, ensuring they are active at key moments for maximum effect.
• 😀 Keep track of cost reduction for Kakona's abilities and maximize their effectiveness by timing them well (around 5K oo or 6).
• 😀 Be aware of the timing of Wakamo's shield and when it expires (around 9.9), as it plays a crucial role in team survivability.
• 😀 If using Yuka's EX skill before the boss casts a skill, make sure Wakamo is positioned to avoid being targeted by the boss.
• 😀 For curse management, ensure that if the team is healthy, healing should prioritize armor and healing Kakona if necessary.
• 😀 In phase 1 of the fight, it's easier to clean up HP, so focus on using characters that can handle AoE efficiently.
• 😀 When facing longer fights (like with Team Four), ensure to bring an AoE healer to cover your whole team with a machine gun user's attack range.
• 😀 Use strategic substitutions, like replacing Nuki with Junko, to spread your team out and improve AoE coverage without disrupting the overall strategy.

Q & A

What is the purpose of moving the team to a specific spot in the beginning of the strategy?

The team needs to be positioned so that **Wakamo** can engage **Hino** efficiently. This ensures optimal damage output and prevents unnecessary mistakes due to RNG (Random Number Generator) in damage calculations.

Why is **Kakona** used first in the strategy?

**Kakona** is used initially because of RNG in damage calculations. Starting with **Kakona** can help optimize damage, especially since sometimes **Wakamo's X** ability fails to take out the **Purple Relic**.

What does the term 'cost reduction' refer to in the script?

The term 'cost reduction' refers to **Kakona's** ability to reduce the cost of subsequent abilities, which helps in speeding up the team's rotation and making more efficient use of skills.

What is the importance of **Shizuko** in the team composition?

**Shizuko** plays a crucial role in shielding the team from AOE (Area of Effect) attacks, ensuring the team’s survival during critical phases of the battle.

What should the player prioritize when the team is healthy?

When the team is healthy, the player should prioritize healing using **W Armor** but focus on healing **Kakona** if the curse lands on Earth. This ensures that the team can continue to perform efficiently while avoiding unnecessary damage.

What happens when **Yuka EX** is used before the boss casts its skill?

If **Yuka EX** is used before the boss casts its skill, **Yuka** will retreat, and **Wakamo** will become the closest target to the boss, possibly causing her to die. This can be avoided by careful timing of **Yuka's EX** ability.

What is the purpose of **Karu's** role in the strategy?

**Karu** is important for controlling the battle's timing, especially when activating her EX ability to stun the boss or prevent **Yuka** from moving too far ahead. **Karu's** healing ability also ensures the team's survival during tough phases.

What should be done when **Yuka** moves forward alone?

If **Yuka** moves forward on her own, the player should use her EX ability to prevent her from being out of position. Timing is crucial here to maintain control of the fight and prevent **Yuka** from dying.

What is the benefit of using **Machine Gun Users** in longer fights?

**Machine Gun Users** are beneficial in longer fights due to their extended attack range, which allows AOE healing to cover the entire team, making them crucial for sustaining the team over time.

How does replacing strikers with students in Phase 1 benefit the team?

Replacing strikers with students who have similar attack ranges helps clean up Phase 1 more efficiently, as there is no Holy Light mechanic to deal with, making it easier to finish that phase without much resistance.
