★ ELITE TOWER F1 is WAY TO EASY with SWORD TEAM! | Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent

[@RealNikTrustMe]

Small correction, Viola does cap P.Def down with her 25% Debilitate and her 10% Blazing Dagger. She also extends Lars's Ultimate debuff by one turn :)

[@free2PlayerCotC]

oh god thank you for reminding me again! I don't really know how I got to 25% with her debuffs. viola is a waaay better choice here because of her enfeebling joint on Lars too as you said! don't know what was wrong with my math at the time building that team thank you!

I pulled out my hair but i was able to clear it and get my guide stones

[@free2PlayerCotC]

amazing! 😍 congrats!

[@lala231-ul1uq]

I had a -300 PDef Spear on Gilderoy and he still tanked fine. Def really doesn't affect damage in this game.

[@free2PlayerCotC]

good to know. but how about the other units apart from your tank? my Lars and richi died lots of times earlier until I changed pdef

[@lala231-ul1uq]

@@free2PlayerCotC They were also fine. Maybe you got unlucky with crits, or you didn't debuff attack?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

crits. the wolf has a higher crit rate after 80% of health so that's unavoidable. you are lucky if you didn't get crit. and your not unlucky if you got crit ;D

[@CaWalrusJr]

Great video as alwasy! Any suggestion of replacing Hayes? he is the only one in this comp that I don't have?

[@edcaous]

You would need Yan Long's A4 for passive defense down on break.

[@free2PlayerCotC]

@@edcaous that is correct. and that A4 doesn't take 20% so Hayes is really extraordinary here. but if you have rinyuu that is the perfect spot for her.

[@antonisgkikas66]

Any replacement for sarissa?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

can't think of a unit able to replace her. she's just the best tank assist there is. maybe make a unit soooo slow, that it acts after the last move of the wolf and serenoa so fast, that he can out speed even the fastest attack of the wolf so you have him in the front the whole time guarding attacks.

[@vdinh143]

@@free2PlayerCotC So the idea behind Sarissa is her backrow abilities? To be able to do supportive things without exposing herself to danger?

[@austinseph1]

Yeah, she basically can do all of her important actions while leaving the tank in front the entire time.

How to get more gold shard for level up you theam

[@free2PlayerCotC]

to keep it short : hunts. and exchanging silver ones.. and getting them with newly added feats.

[@danalaflamme9284]

You don’t have a full rotation written out eh, was trying to follow the video cause I have the party made up but trying to play with the break times yet keeps happening early

[@free2PlayerCotC]

I did. but as soon as you should get the gist of one rotation it will repeat itself over and over until the turn limit is exceeded.

[@mattitalia7311]

Just started playing this game in sea server. Is it necessary to raise all od your units to A4 in order to beat this bosses?

[@edcaous]

No, A4 just gives you an accessory and sometimes that accessory isn't even good. A3 is nice, but if you're debuffing enemy attack/have a good tank like Serenoa/Gilderoy it's not even needed. A2 is not worth it on a vast majority of units. A1 is probably the best for most damage dealers. This video used mostly a0 units, I beat it with mostly a0 units, etc.,

[@edcaous]

Did you already use Serenoa A4 on Serenoa in your previous attempts? I like to put that on Gilderoy since it combines with his passive for 6 turns of 30% physical reduction, and give the Devin's A4 + Meena A4 on Serenoa. Not being able to reuse accessories does suck though. One thing I forgot in my attempts is that Shelby's A4 gives 50% status ailment resistance to row partner. From what I understand, this should combine with Staunching Charm for 100% bleed immunity, but I haven't tested this as I only found out after beating the wolf.

[@free2PlayerCotC]

last one is exactly the combo I have used on serenoa for attempt 1 and 2. that's why I needed to bleed resistance accessories on gilderoy and 6 turns of increased defense is not enough if this battle can easily go further than that :3 so you have to think about what accessories are benefiting over 20 turns :)

[@marek3060]

How can Cless cap 30% pdef down?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

with his two moves, Armor corrosive and stab somethin ;)

[@marek3060]

@@free2PlayerCotC Ah thx, I always forget that different skills are additive - wish the game gui would show that 😅

[@songoku4220]

can the richard be replaced by bargello??(lack of rinyuu and richard :/) or tatlock perhaps

[@free2PlayerCotC]

Richard is in replaceable for warriors and merchants. so sadly no. maybe find your way to the valentine's banner?

[@n19aces]

How did you go past the 99,999 damage cap with the sword team? Is that something you can put on Fortune weapons?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

sadly no. you can only do this with hell weapons sometime when you can slot in souls which can extend the damage cap. that way those weapons get a little weaker to use in the living world. but if that unit would do high damage anyway, then that's the way to go!

[@andrewwilson3555]

who can I replace with Sarisa? I do not have her or is she mandatory?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

I really really recommend to get her. she's so powerful for each fight where a tank is useful! but she's not mandatory. you can also place Hayes behind your tank and use another thief like viola in another row. (but then the strategy is a little of)

[@andrewwilson3555]

thanks I was able to get it down in 3 wins. I used Viola and switch Hayes with Rinyuu ^_^ also used A2. I know it is not gen pool clear but hey it worked. Thank for reply to me love your videos.@@free2PlayerCotC

glad it worked!! :D

[@michaeltolsma7717]

You do waaaay more damage than I do. What Souls are on Olberic?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

it's mainly a stalward weapon with atk+ and damage limit up.

[@michaeltolsma7717]

@@free2PlayerCotC Greatly appreciate the guide. Sadly it's not easy to follow since there are alot of jump cuts. The timing of buffs/debuffs you used between 10 and 4 turns remaining would have been useful.

[@Bigwhale7141]

@@michaeltolsma7717 So tough to follow. Those jump cuts are brutal

[@drasker6994]

Easy? with swords? * cries * even capping damage with fiore, 2b and richard i cant deal 20% in 20 turns and dont know why (i dont have rondo-lars-olberic)

[@free2PlayerCotC]

you need to do 40% damage in one attempt so you have an easy time with your 2nd team in attempt 3 with only 20% lasting. those units you've chosen are also very very strong. maybe there is some little mistake in that run which is easily overseen after so many turns. are you caping sword Res down and p Def down all the time? are your offensive buffs ALWAYS caped? and on the right units?

[@edcaous]

You should get Serenoa to A4 for free at least (underrated).

[@free2PlayerCotC]

@@edcaous serenoas A4 is really, really good. but it's not belonging in a fight that long :3

This makes me feel to give up playing the game 😂😢

oh, what exactly causes you to feel like that? :/ that was totally not my intention!

[@truejeff_gaming]

Can I use Rinyuu to replace Primrose EX?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

well you can't decrease the elemental attack further with rinyuu in the back. so you kinda have to have high hp on anyone or have the healing prayer on the whole time.

[@jonathancook1731]

What dice souls are you using? Tainted?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

meanwhile I am using the souls which have the least negatives on the unit as possible to make them sturdier. so if the "best negative" is elem.atk down, I'll choose that for a physical attacker which is provided by the tainted ones. if the AOEs hit harder with elemental attacks, then I'd go for bewitched to have less physical defense for that unit because that dice gives the most stat boost in comparison to e.atk down. it hardly depends and I configure fortune weapons for almost all new battles coming :/

[@Nontouchable]

what is cless doing in this comp :)

[@free2PlayerCotC]

he's granting 30% p.def reduction and extends that every loop. viola only gives 25% ;)

[@hoangthemanh4072]

Who should I use in the 3rd attempt if I don't have any tanky merchant? Will Fiore EX do?

[@scpfilechildrenbarrow2212]

Fiore EX should work with the last attempt. Since you're not using Sarisa anymore and the enemy isn't weak to spear/sword.

[@hoangthemanh4072]

@@scpfilechildrenbarrow2212 I don't even have Sarisa and Hayes lol, wonder how I could compensate for the lack of resistance debuffs

[@vdinh143]

For the last round why don't you go with a dagger team? My dagger team tends to be as strong as my sword team.

[@free2PlayerCotC]

I tried. but I couldn't buff the defense of gilderoy enough with that team. thieves tend to only decrease physical attack and not elemental attack which the wolf hits way harder with in the last time you are tying to finish it off.

[@vdinh143]

@@free2PlayerCotC interesting. I wonder if we can make use of a magical tank for this niche. Maybe even using fiore ex on magic mode and just tank the physical hits normally. I've been neglecting my weapon progress so I'm quite a bit behind; will try when I manage to catch up
