Level 251

My Units

I can get into phase 2 without losing any units most of the time, but the elemental barriers he gains in phase 2 utterly overwhelm me. Please help me form a team that can handle this SZ. My latest strategy has involved using 3-4 units per element, not including Light/Dark, made up of a mitigator, a damage unit, and a support unit, so that I can rotate elements out as he gains the mitigation buff, however his adds usually destroy the freshly rotated units. Thanks in advance.

Hullo there! (^^)/

Cardes’ Strategy Zone, huh? Ooof. He’s just so annoyingly tanky thanks to his elemental mitigation, isn’t he? I still have nightmares. :|

Fortunately, there is an easier way to deal with him. This method utilizes the normal attack nuke, and if done right, can end the second phase in 5 turns. There are tons of walkthroughs online talking about how to do it, but the person I opted to fashion this one from is Scrub Gaming on youtube.

Essentially, all you need are 1) a UBB hitcount buffer; b) a unit who can provide the Light element; and c) a Hero Crystal.

SQUAD Ciardha (Lead) Shion Nyami Beatrix Roglizer OR Neferet Ciardha (Friend)

For this method to work, at least one of the Ciardhas need to have the UBB hitcount SP boost.

STEPS

1 - Use your hero crystal and UBB the Ciardha with the UBB hitcount SP. Use Shion’s and Ciardha’s SBB, and it’s your choice what to do with the rest. Make sure that damage is controlled such that you don’t push Cardes past 90%, otherwise you have to reset.

2 - Activate Ciardha’s UBB and normal attack with the rest. You should be able to push Cardes from >90% to <60%. This skips Tora’s summon and forces Cardes to charge up and idle.

3 - SBB Ciardha and Shion, and normal attack with the rest. If you can’t seem to stop his idle, just normal attack with everyone. Additionally, if possible, UBB the Ciardha with the SP option and let it fill for the next turn.

4 - Normal attack with everyone if you followed number 3’s SBB and UBB rule. If not, UBB Ciardha (just in case) and SBB Ciardha and Shion.

I hope this helped! If you end up doing something wrong, just start over. (^^)/
