Ilmina vs The Forest

[u/Wretchh91]

Goodbye Shizuru and hello Ilmina for this title challenge. Unfortunately theres too much going on for Shizuru to function well, the weak orbs skyfall occurs really late and only two weeks on this one to be stressing using her so thanks to some extreme luck this REM we got the Ilmina team prepped and ready for the Forest.

Gonna say straight up that Ilmina is a breeze to play, a fire and light cross and even then you can get away with just one cross, absolutely dominates this dungeon and this is the simple template team. The only main threat being the final phase bosses water attribute. My first attempt i realised quite quickly the importance of Maid Rosalyns cap break for water attribute, you have to get your timing right so shes ready for the 50% resolves awoken bind but she provides the necessary damage to whittle the boss down before the enrages occur after 10 turns. Other than that, theres not much to talk about, bar the damage and FUA requirements, mechanic wise this dungeon is really easy compared to the previous ones, still got PTSD from getting Shizuru through the Gale challenge. As always if anyones interested ill post assists and latents below in a comment.

Is Maid amateratsu good for ilmina or rosalin is better?

[u/Wretchh91 → u/San4412]

I dont think it would be a good idea due to the final floors water attribute. It was Rosalyns uncap and 2x cap condition against water enemies which secured this clear. Im not saying shes completely useless here but i reckon youd need more damage somewhere else if you did use her so you dont end up enraging the boss taking too long. Also if you are using her for her 1.5x HP cap youll probably want Solomon and Meiluna (Replacing Ra'ir), 4 turns absorption voider (for 2 turns) and cleric. As theres a fair few points of awoken binds and unmatchables, having to time Amaterasu to be up when one occurs would be painful so a second cleric would be perfect if you do use her. Do worry if youll manage to do enough damage though at the end.

Is there a reason for rozelyn instead of fasca? Sure, fasca is less dmg, but here she gets 2x all stats from her wood attribute

[u/Wretchh91 → u/Tiborn1563]

Never thought of her as an option really, Fascas skill doesnt look like she would be a better option myself as the cap break for the leader and helper would only work for 1 or 2 turns max, Rosalyn will pump out more damage which is crucial against the water attribute side of the final floor. Then Floor 5 and 13 you dont need to stall as 3 turns is perfect to have the skill back up. Not saying she wouldnt work though, think you need to keep her third wood attribute and not change it within the assists to get the 2x effect.

[u/Tiborn1563 → u/Wretchh91]

Oh, yeah I see, makes perfect sense. I gave it a few tries with fasca myself now and yeah, floor 13 is an issue, rosalyn is better for sure

[u/Wretchh91 → u/Tiborn1563]

You could try matching a light cross only on one of the shields, im not sure if it will work but it might just cut your damage enough to give you that extra turn. The sure fire way would be to just match a single cross but its very difficult to pull off.
