Challenge Contracts
The Contract specific challenges are as follows:
- Reduced DP generation means it takes longer to get our team deployed. We'll counter this with liberal use of Vanguards.
- The Militant buffs make them much tougher to deal with. They hit hard and get more RES, which is annoying since they are grouped with high DEF low RES units. We'll use RES Debuffs in this strategy to get past it.
Recommended Team Composition
- 3 Skill-Recovery or Utility Vanguards, V1 - V3. Myrtle shines again.
- 3 Casters, C1-C3, bring an Eyjafjalla with S2 (RES debuff and AoE). Haze is a great choice for her RES down as well (and her S2 hits pretty hard)
- 2 Snipers, S1 and S2, these will be the Operators taking out the Avengers (high RES low DEF)
- 1 Medic, M1
- 1 Defender D1 (the higher the DEF the better)
- 2 Guards, G1 will be placed to take some heat off our main defender, blocking and taking out Casters and small-fries. G2 we'll use to assassinate the Caster from the top left.
Here is an example of the team I used:
Deployment
Unit placement can be seen in the image below, and deployment order should be done exactly as presented. Each Operator can be placed as soon as there is sufficient DP.
Deployment Order:
- V1: Courier - Skill-DP-Recovery Vanguard
- V2: Fang - Skill DP-Recovery Vanguard (We just want this Vanguard out of the way somewhere while it generates DP)
- V3: Scavenger - Skill-DP-Recovery Vanguard
- S1: Kroos - Anti-Air Sniper
- C1: Haze - ST Caster
- C2: Amiya - ST Caster
- C3: Eyjafjalla - ST Caster
- M1: Ansel - ST Medic
- D1: Cuora - Normal Defender
We are now at our Deploy Limit and our formation should look like this:
When we have enough DP, we'll do the following:
- Retreat V2 (Fang) and Deploy G1: Flamebringer - Duelist Guard
- Retreat V3 and Deploy S2: Platinum - Anti-air Sniper
Our formation looks like this:
- Last, when the caster emerges from the upper left exit (G1), we'll retreat V1 and deploy our G2 Caster Assassin: Melantha - Duelist Guard
- The militants hit very hard, so it is a good idea to rotate our Defensive/healing/dps skills if we are having trouble. You can see an example in the companion video below.
Enjoy your rewards!
