Hello again. I thought the first F2P blog went well, so I'm doing another. This time, on the infamous Trial 003

Background
Trial 003 is pretty tough the first time around, but when you figure it out it's a lot easier. If you had terrible luck with rare summons but got a lot of the vortex units, this will help you out.

The Squad
Sacred Armor Nevsky Lead

Gaia Bow Lario/Beauty Sibyl Paula

Dahlia Fist Nemia

Lightning Speed Lucana

Inferno Beast Zegar/Radiance Sibyl Sola

Arcane Solo Eric/Ghradens

The reasoning
Nevsky is the only free mitigator (excluding Tesla), and as such is pretty much required for this trial. He's set as leader because there isn't a free status immunity unit yet, and Lucana isn't able to remove debuffs with her SBB.

Lario, savior of F2P players everywhere has returned. In all seriousness, he's here because Sparks and BC production. However, Paula is probably a better pick here, as she increases BC Drop rate, like Lario, but also increases HC, AND she gives Earth, Dark and Water elements. Water isn't as important, but Earth and Dark are. These make it possible to take elemental advantages over Juggernaut and Maxwell.

Nemia has the honor of being the only free unit that has an Infinite SBB. She's going to be dealing a ton of damage, because she's got constant SBB damage, and with Paula, she's going to be taking a bite out crime (crime being the enemies).

Lucana is going to be providing burst healing. She'll keep the team in the green. I'm a very big advocater of "Vitality over Violance," and people who run this tral without a healer are at a greater risk of getting wrecked.

Now there's a lot of questioning over what's the optimal unit to use in the last slot. I reccomend Alma if you're using Lario, because the Spark damage boost helps a lot, as does the critical hit rate boost. If you're using Paula, then go for Sola. Sola gives the Lilly Matah stlye BB gauge boost upon being attacked, and adds the other three elements that Paula doesn't give.
