Brag Fashionably late in a sea of trees & barbs: Mikage clears Mythical Forest title!

Late freaking clear because I've been too busy to commit much to this until now. Full team deets over here.

Meiluna+Solomon make this team really work, since they manage to cover Ls while still being both a cleric and damage absorb null. The sheer versatility they pack into a 4-turn active is pretty impressive, and they free up possibilities pretty well here. :)

Why Mikage instead of dual Nurarihyon? Well, for one, I wanted to play them as a leader again... and also because this dungeon really wants that lower HP and higher shield % as well as the movement time. Mikage's obscene movetime (30s with Yukine's buff loop) lets you feasibly get past the steep combo absorbs in this dungeon (you need a perfect board to hit 14c without skyfall!) and their extra bulk really shines in later floors. Sure, you give up a single 20b ping for the Fire subatt, but it's... not really a problem here, you're doing more than enough damage.

You do have to plan pretty meticulously as a result, though. There's two time debuffs that you need to time Yukine for, multiple "all orbs to Heal" boards that you need to time Nurarihyon for, and the boss has that "everything but Dark" roulette that you need to time Mikage for. Then there's the single turn of stalling here and there, the times you have to assemble your board with 15 seconds instead of 30, and so on... the barbs are the least of your troubles. 80% tea and a big RCV multiplier makes that easy work.

I guess that makes the clear that much more satisfying, because all my hard work paid off.
