Reject Castoria, return to Mash

[@reallythishandleistaken]

Arash: "Why won't you die already?!?" Mash: "Salt son, they harden in response to senpai's gacha pull"

[@MountSec]

Arash: Why won't you die!? Mash: Snowflakes, son! They harden in response to physical trauma!

[@dragnricvelestia6204]

Have to feel pity for Arash in this fight, thanks to power creep everybody can defeat him easily. He is essentially slowly killing himself and not even achieving anything from it.

[@kosmosXcannon]

I beat the KH CQ with just Tamamo, Skadi, and Castoria. Took about 112 turns to get rid of all the Hassans and then KH himself. I still had an entire backline left. I probably could have sped it up giving the damage CE to the casters instead of playing it safe with prisma on Tamamo and Skadi.

[@DouglasStewart99]

As a Mash fan, this video gives me life. They won the battle, but -SMOL DIO- Hans didn't make it... Some sacrifices must be made to get the W.

[@ChrysesCor]

Hey this was surprisingly short! Glad you used this team, Mash solo would've been too dull. I remember the Summer 4 CQ vid, being able to use Hans instead made this livelier. Crits + DEF is fun and not mindlessly broken (one of the reasons why I adore Constantine).

[@DragonFalconFGO]

Well the original recording was 16 minutes long and I sped up the footage here, so I would not call it short lol. I also cut out a good chunk of "idle" moments more so than the usual video because I often had to do a double take and check if Hans actually landed the Defense buffs (with his CE the buff success of his NP is 90%) and also mentally count the turns before Arash NPs so I know when to use the NPs of Gil/Mash/Hans.

[@ChrysesCor]

Yeah I meant to compliment the editing. Even compared to the more eventful White Day CQ, which you had already cut down a lot, this never felt too long for a team without a proper DPS. I didn't look at the length and thought it'd take 10 minutes at least haha.

[@hughjuass1858]

Props for not using Castoria. It's harder this way but way cooler. Mash really is one of the most helpful units in the game. I don't find myself using her often but nowadays whenever I use her, she absolutely does not disappoint

[@DragonFalconFGO]

It's definitely way more interesting to approach the CQ the way it was intended to be approached back in the day before Castoria's special Invul.

Gonna try this too

[@DragonFalconFGO]

Honestly a Mash solo with CCs might be more reliable since it would be easier to get her NP up to reach 100% Defense up. I did not realise this after clearing it.

[@FazulurRahmanN]

Take support merlin Your mash and hans. Its doable

[@DragonFalconFGO]

@@FazulurRahmanN He said he is a new player. I assume he does not have the mats to skill up Mash and Hans to a decent enough level, and also this requires really specific CEs to work that a new player would not get quickly. Also Merlin isn't recommended, I recommend taking Castoria to invalidate Arash's primary mechanic.

[@DragonFalconFGO]

Castoria makes the mechanics here irrelevant, borrow her from the support list and you will have no problem clearing this.

[@elthonfrancisco9870]

What are the EQs that you're struggling with? I think there are some vids that show solos are mostly possible. At the very least, with the current half, Spartacus can be soloed by a MLBd dmg CE Yang Guifei or Van Gogh. Suzuka I believe with a MLBd dmg CE Super Orion (consider the CCs for his survival for Phase 2 where Suzuka switches class advantage). Arash as you can see in some comments is possible with a Mash solo or at least a team like here. If not CasGil maybe a Boudica for more defense?

[@Butter_Warrior99]

I don’t even know how you players do these magic tricks. But I’m all for Mash tanking attacks.

[@DragonFalconFGO]

Well before Castoria was a thing, it seems like in the past people used either Defense stacking or Guts strategies to deal with this quest.

[@bayumahendra1797]

I dont have casgil any other recommendation?

[@DragonFalconFGO]

If you have the appropriate CCs and have her at 10/x/10, I recommend soloing this with Mash. But if you don't, Boudica is your next best replacement for Casgil since she also offers defense up on her NP, but her defense buff is 10% for 3 turns with 20% defense for 1 turn while Gil is a lingering 20% for 3 turns. Alternatively, just cheese the mechanics with Castoria. The gameplan is essentially try to get 100% defense up when Arash NPs, anything less will result in the unit dying.

[@velgard.]

Now put fujino instead of gilgamesh and you take 0 damage always

[@DragonFalconFGO]

Ehh I would not replace him with Fujino. Gilgamesh is there to guarantee the 100% Defense buff stack (20% from Mash S1, 30% from Mash NP, 20% from Gil's NP, and 30% from the CE) because Hans can be unreliable in giving his defense buff. Hans is just there to provide healing to offset Arash's normal/crit attacks.
