I'm guessing that this "kill 20 Gazers" is supposed to be an annoying bottleneck sorta like that one mission for the CCC event? As best I can tell, I can't seem to find any missions with more than 2 of them. Not a huge deal, since I still only need to run it like 3 or 4 more times to finish the mission.

At least there's a 20AP one with Gazers that can be done pretty quickly.

gazers and superhuge enemies are both annoying hurdles. gazers iirc has more limited map selection but is at a point where you're able to clear multiple missions at a time while grinding it, less so for superhuge

I got bottlenecked on the "Kill 280 mecha" quest to finish the drat story.

Finished all 100 quests yesterday, now I just need to finish clearing out the Ascension items and Silver Fous from the shop.

And go back to grinding Mana prisms, because as soon as I bought those out, I grabbed Parvati's Dress Sphere, and now I need to save up again to grab my last copy of Private Lesson and next month's summon tickets.

(checking your interludes for shell/claw/fang drops is a good idea if you want to finish the more rng-dependant sq missions easily)

The mission with all the Mk II Mecha-Ellys is actually kind of difficult if you equip the CE that increases their appearance rate, since you end up having to deal with 2 waves of 6 of them plus the final wave that seems to usually have 2x 140k HP version (and a few 30-40k ones). Probably going to grind that without the CE, since the extra time it took wasn't really worth the bonus and I have plenty of apples.

These missions are also a bit awkward to grind since you can't just NP your way through the rounds due to them having more than 3 when you equip a CE boosting their appearance rate. Fortunately the quest CEs + gacha CEs give a metric fuckton of the drops from their 40AP nodes. One time I got literally 38 individual drops (so probably like 150-200 total).

The amusing thing is, they're all either Berzerkers or Cavalry class, so if you have your Mecha-Eli levelled up or have another Alter Ego, you can shred them pretty hard.

The "dress up as someone/something else and party" is a Carnevale thing. So you are left with the " bring fresh flowers to your dead relatives tombs".

Level up Euryale to max and do her interlude, she's a big help for a lot of the bosses.

dogsicle
Oct 23, 2012

mostly just read up on boss gimmicks and prepare your team accordingly

the main roadblocks are Gawain and the Ozy fights, though there being a handful of assassin bosses is also pretty annoying. Mecha Eli can help with those assassins and Ozy/the pillar since casters/assassins are not great offensive units. Gawain falls to anti-male and charm strats from Euryale and Orion. David/Tristan/Merlin are all MVP for their AOE party protection since like half of the bosses are AOE. also Mash will get another upgrade during the chapter, so a raised Mash will be more and more useful as you go through.

Cleopatra is so loving good, and I wish I had rolled her last year when I did my rolls. I have too many priorities next year to roll for her earlier when she had her rate up, but I wish I had gotten her. Seeing her fill her entire NP gauge from 0 on turn 1 without any stars with a Brave chain gives me life.

Charm, Stun, NP Seal, and NP Charge Down are your friends. Camelot has a lot of bosses that will definitely charge their AOE NPs faster than you can take them down in a pure damage race, so being able to buy yourself extra turns with status effects and defensive skills is crucial.

Euryale is a particular standout there, since she has a charm skill, a NP Drain skill, a NP that charms enemies, and she's very Arts-based so she can send out that NP pretty often. She can hold off the NPs for a few turns practically all by herself.
