Re: Aegis Thousand Year War - DMM Online Game
Thanks for replies, Petite Soeur, tenshiryu and silence. My bank doesn't offer prepaid cards, but maybe I should just get one in other bank. I did find the 500 free points yesterday, though you only get them after you input your credit card data :<. Big problem is, that even if they send me an email 'sorry our DB has been hacked, pleas contact your bank asap' I will not understand it.
----------------------
I don't know if any other beginners such as myself follow this thread, but I managed to 3-star second event map with my noob team of lvl 30 max.
There are four major goals to accomplish in this stage.
1) Kill initial three goblin archers, with as little resources as possible.
2) Nuke the sky rush.
3) Clean up the ground push after that
4) During all of this, take care of dark elves spawning out of central hut.
My prince alone, positioned in front of the hut, was enough to reach goal 4. We just need to make sure that elves spawning there do not kill any ranged unit positioned on the narrow peninsula.
It was important to realize, that to reach goal 3 you really only need a tank and a healer. Additional DPS or additional melee can help, but they are not crucial and if we want we can dedicate all our party space to reach goals 1 and 2. When you place your tank on the spot near the double ranged position in the bottom, and your healer on the left of the two ranged spots, the final archers only shoot at your tank. It is also possible to heal the tank from the narrow peninsula, but the healer can than die to dark elves coming out of the hut, especially to the mage. If you have spare melee units, it is beneficial to drop one on two goblin mages approaching near the end, as they can aoe your entire defense line near tank.
Goal 1 is a bit tricky. You need to kill the 3 archers before deploying any ranged units, or else even 1 goblin will rape your anti-air defense. I have used different combinations of Clave, Cecilly and Misha. You can drop the first unit slightly behind first two archers, so that it gets only 1 additional shot from the goblin it will not kill. On most attempts I was able to successfully use lvl 27 Cecily to do that, than use Clave to kill the second archer, and Cecily still could kill the final archer. This however, was a bit luck dependent, as she needed to get some dodge rolls. On final attempt I used Misha first, than Cecily. Note, that I also tried to use prince here, but he was getting really low (can't afford to loose him before air rush), and my Phillis was not enough to handle initial units alone anyway.
Goal 2 was the hardest to achieve, and if you only want to get past this stage to farm silver tank on map 3 can be omitted for easier 2star clear. I was able to achieve this goal using Lvl 30 Soma, Lvl 25 Daniela, Level 30 Calliope, Level 12 Calliope and Lvl 30 Valerie. Note, that to get the second witch I needed to clear the Armor of the Dead ( 亡者の鎧 ) story mission, which was an achievement on it's own. I made attempts without her, but archers do next to no damage to the dragons, and Roys always came too late (plus they don't have range from top left spot). I also needed to level my first Calliope to level 30, so that she could survive 2 shots from dragon.
Ok, so the strategy was as follows:
Drop Phillis on second spot from left, than drop prince in front of her (near the hut dark elves come from). Drop Misha behind two first archers, so that she kills 1 (third spot from right). Than drop Cecily on next spot to kill second one. Misha survives long enough to kill third archer. Recall Misha and Cecily (note, that if you think your first ranged won't survive the dragon you can wait until his attack animation starts on Cecily before recalling her, so that the ranged tanks 1 less shot).
The air rush starts. Put Daniela on middle peninsula and Soma on leftmost spot. Than 'strong' Calliope on narrow peninsula near hut, and weak Calliope to the right of the double spot in the bottom. Finally Valerie near weak Calliope. All ranged fire skills as soon as ready (all but Valerie managed to get powered-up hits). The way units are distributed here is centered around the fact that I had more trouble with killing top dragon. So stronger archer and stronger witch went there.
As soon as dragon dies recall all ranged units, but Valerie. Drop Lean near the double ranged spot, and your stronger healer there as well. If your comp is still dying here, recall Valerie as well and put healer on his spot instead (but for me it was fine that way). Drop a low level heavy armor to kill or damage two mages, and recall asap.
Team used: Lvl 20 Phillis, Lvl 28 Cecily, Lvl 28 Misha, Lvl 30 Lean, Lvl 30 Arise, Lvl 30 Soma, Lvl 25 Daniela, Lvl 30 Calliope, Lvl 12 Calliope, Lvl 30 Valerie, lvl 10 Lean (got her from last event, but I guess normal bronze armor will do).
Now to work on third stage. There is a vid on wiki of doing it with party full of 30's and 20's so it should be definitely doable (though the strat uses level 100 prince). The main difficulty should be killing the black ogres on north alley, but apparently lvl 30's can do it (hopefully they can with lower level prince as well). If anyone is interested in report, I will post it if I manage to succeed.
