*) I also heard that it is possible to do the OTK with Double Maxwell leads and equip all units with Geldnite Axes and Amanohabakens? I need further info for OTK Team since I didn’t OTK him because no Amanohabakens nor sol Creators lol.
Okay, so… Trial 004 is a Trial to capture a very handsome God called Cardes, but we have to accept a test
by his Zebra (fortunately Tohla isn’t participated too lol) and… have
to suffer from the constant troll from Luther.
Points :
Make sure that you have Tech Gizmo 2 for your hitters, at the very least. Omni Gizmo could work better, since it gives you additional 10% for HC drop (thanks renachan82 for the correction! ^o^)… only if you can’t craft
Sol Creator yet, though. If you have Sol Creator, you know the answer. I captured him without bringing any Sol Creators ok
Spheres that can boost your HP are VERY RECOMMENDED. Name them, Legwand (or at least Medullas), Dandelga, Leomurg, Lexida… Drevas is a mandatory sphere for Healer.
GGC Spheres are almost mandatory! See that I mentioned Drevas and Dandelga? You may also want to equip Leomurg on your mitigator too (yes, equip Leomurg to Narza in the name of love).
Don’t use any items while fighting Zebra!!! Even for your mitigators! Save your items for Cardes since… you know, Luther will constantly bully you.
Well then let’s move to the battle :
First Battle : The Sexy Disciple aka Mad God Zebra
Friendly reminder first : He is nastier than the capturable-Zebra in Encervis.
Those thresholds are the indicators where he will unleash Deadly End. Once in 50% HP, twice in 25% HP. Deadly End is a fixed ST skill that cannot be mitigated, except you use Tridon’s shield.
Once again, do not waste your items here unless you want to suffer a painful death during fighting Cardes and
co. Just keep hitting Zebra until your mitigator (and Tridon’s, if you
brought him)’s BB gauge are full. With a good BB maintenance and right
spheres, should be no problem.
Second Battle : Cardes & co.
Make sure that you’re not look like Dean or Loch or Lorand or Edea. It seems that He still hates our dear Warriors of Palmyna for a certain reason lol. Oh yeah, Cardes will bring His besties to battle so you may want to expect a tear-jerking moment while Nalmika met her dear Phee //jk.
Also, that kind of face is illegal, Cardes.
Okay, as I said on the pic, The only troll here is Luther since once he shouted "Hey!!! I’ll crush you!!!", he will remove one of your unit’s buffs, include mitigation AND shield. Such troll, eh?
Phee will act as mitigator, Luther as the nasty debuffer while Cardes is teasing you. Perfect
Just concentrate at attacking Cardes while reinforcing your Units. Luther and Phee are only BC generators for you.
Mitigating (PLUS SHIELD, if you bring Tridon) every turn is VERY RECOMMENDED especially after Cardes used “Come to Me” to call the nasty Luther and Phee.
Now let’s see Cardes’ thresholds :
At 70% HP, Cardes will use Foreign Light, which heals all allies for 200,000 HP and buff their ATK for 3 turns. I was lucky I wiped out Luther and Phee before He used that ;u;). He will also use Deadly End. Now we know why Zebra knew Deadly End.
At 50% HP, He will use Foreign Light and Deadly End again. At 30% HP, He will use Deadly End twice. At 20% HP, He will use Endless. Unlike Maxwell’s Endless, His Endless is more like a rant about a certain green sparkling orb to Karna Masta. Translation here, in case you’re curious lol. Well, make sure you mitigate this attack.
He won’t be revived like our moe Goddess, although you still have to struggle if He died before Luther and/or Phee. Kill the remaining BFFs fast before you claim the handsome Malevolent God!
So… now let’s talk about squad. Some people did the OTK, am I right? But let’s assume that not everyone have crafted great spheres yet so I’ll go with the “safe” squad.
You will need :
★ Mitigator : duh. Battling Maxwell without mitigator is already hard, of course you’ll need your best mitigator to face Cardes and co! Anyway, make sure they hold Evil Shard. Recomended Units : Darvanshel and Shera because they also hit your opponents. Narza for negating nasty status but we know that Luther is nastier. Oulu will work too. Basically, bring your best mitigator here
★ Healer : Especially those who can remove AND negates status ailments. Don’t forget Drevas for them. Recommended Units : Ulkina, Altri
★ BB Filler : To ensure that you can mitigate/shield/basically, using BB/SBB (if lucky) every turn because when Luther and Phee dies, it means that incoming BC will be decreased. Recommended Units : Lilly Matah (she is a good leader you want to use for this Trial), Zelnite
★ Hitter : Unlimited SBB units are not recommended here, except if you want to run the trial with 2 squads. I suggest you to bring dark units that have high hit counts. Moe Moe Elza is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Equip her with Dandelga and Tech Gizmo 2/Sol Creator for better survival. Recommended Units : Elza (Remember that she can curse too with her BB/SBB. Very recommended to shut Phee up), Maxwell (massive SBB damage baby! Also, a good waifu will pick Her husband up, even if with force.)
★ Status-inflictor : If you wanna go with the “lock-that-damn-Luther” combo, you will need a unit that can paralyze him every turn. Please note that you can also curse Phee (that’s why I recommend Elza as high-hitter), injure Zebra and Cardes, and Weaken Cardes (but it’s better to shut Phee and Luther while targeting Cardes, right?). Equip them with Refined Gem to avoid nasty status ailments. You may also equip Tech Gizmo 2/Sol Creator as their second sphere since basically, status-inflictor are like your 2nd hitter. Recommended Units : Nalmika (yes, Nalmika vs Phee seems legit too!), Falma, Semira, Luther (Persona battle seems fun, right?)
Notable Units you’ll also want to consider
Grahdens : His LS. If you want to run a defensive team, you can use The Ushi Way, with Grahdens + Cardes FL, as he showed you in his video xD
Tridon : His shield is proved useful and quickly became the must-bring Unit if you want to do this Trial with 1 squad. Bring him as leader or FL so you’ll have additional HP and mitigation.
Friend’s maxed-out Cardes : He can reduce damage from Dark units too, and Double Endless (if you include Maxwell in your party) vs Endless seems fun :3
