User blog comment:Dera73/TRIAL 3 GUIDE vs. Maxwell/@comment-26040524-20150203104807

I followed the principles outlined here and I beat Maxwell on the 3rd try. I used only one squad for the entire trial. Here was my team:

all 6* maxed

Lilly Matah (leader) SBB 2, prized cloth/Lexida

Zelnite  SBB 2, Dandelga/Omni Gizmo

Narza SBB 3, Drevas/Evil Shard

Lilith  SBB2, Legwand Gem/Death Axe

Ulkina BB2, Refined Gem/Leomurg

Triton (friend)  SBB 6, Medulla Gem/Omni Gizmo

Because my SBBs are not leveled very high, I had to use a very defensive style, until the last moment when an all out attack barely broke Maxwell's Sacred Song loop. This battle lasted almost 2 hours and it was a grind. The Maxwell Counter website also helped me a lot. I followed the turn by turn tips there as closely as possible. It helped me survive Maxwell's Rune and Destiny shots, and I guarded like a scared turtle. If you don't have an overpowered team, the Counter is essential.
