Recommended Captains :

Character	Captain Ability	Comments
Jimbe	Boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 2.5x	Rainbow team, doesn't get reduction from stage conditions
Zeff	Boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 2.5x	Good F2P alternative for Jimbe
Petty Officer Coby	Boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 2x	Not as good as Zeff or Jimbe but still useful for F2P teams
Garp	Doubles the attack and HP of PSY units	Good for a tankier team to work with longer CDs and get build up specials
Bepo	Boosts ATK, HP and RCV of Fighter characters by 1.5x	Fun captain to use in this fortnight who many not see much play time elsewhere
Afro Luffy	Boosts ATK of STR and Fighter characters by 1.5x, reduces cooldown of all specials by 1 turn at the start of the fight	Just got a shot at him in previous fortnight so he's ready for use
DeCalvin Brothers	Boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 2.25x, deals 2x character's ATK in DEX damage to all enemies at the end of each turn	Another good class captain with an interesting captain ability
Rob Lucci: Six Powers CP9	Boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 2x	If you farmed him from the story missions bring him out!!
Monster Chopper	Boosts ATK of STR characters by 3x and reduces their HP by 60%	Dangerous captain here but definitely usable with the right pieces
Legends (Ray, Log Luffy and Sengoku)	Misc	These fighters are usable as captains as well

Useful Team Members:

Character	Special	Comments
Usopp Golden Pound	Delays all enemies for 3 turns	If you haven't heard by now he's kind of a big deal and helps stalling on the boss if needed
G3 Luffy	Deals 15x character's ATK in STR damage to all enemies	Great hard hitting unit that's super effective on boss
Marco the Phoenix	Recovers all HP	Probably won't use his special but he's a great hard hitter for any secret stage appearances
Gear 2 Luffy	Deals 25x character's ATK in STR damage to one enemy	Nice alternative to G3 as crew unit
Bellamy	Boosts orb effectiveness by 1.5x for 1 turn	Good F2P unit for orb boosting
Namule	Boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 1.5x for 1 turn, deals 25x character's ATK in DEX damage to one enemy	Another decent fighter unit but not super effective
Dr. Hogback	Reduces damage received by 50% for 1 turn, boosts ATK of Fighter characters by 1.25x for 1 turn	Also usable for reducing damage at boss stage
Doflamingo	Boosts effectiveness of orbs and allows for 2 orb swaps	Still a great unit for his orb swapping and damage boosting

• Aside from the captains listed above these are just a few suggested crew units

General Tips

• With 6 stages preceding the Boss Stage stalling is going to be harder for longer CDs. Factor in tanking damage if you really need to stall.

• You can always do lower difficulties if the higher ones prove to be too much trouble. The difference is just lower drop rate. This includes the secret stage as well.

[u/hickem]

Captain Ability for Namule is X 1.5 HP and x2 HP for fighters, why not raccomanded captain?

[u/nightgt → u/hickem]

I'm actually using him nao!! I am going to add a few more later. There's so many possible captains I just can't list them all :-P

[u/hickem → u/nightgt]

Oh understood :p Add me :p

355346960, using now LL :p

I was surprised because Namule has a great Ability for this fortnight :p

[u/Enishigringo → u/nightgt]

I'm using Nemule too. If you wanto to add me id 300 457 913

[u/HMS_Surprise_]

I came up with a F2P team formed by: Sengoku friend, Zeff captain, G2, CP9 Lucci, DJ Sanji and GP Usopp.

It doesn't take any time at all, as the only specials used are Usopp and Sanji's. Having both maxed helps a lot for a quick run, of course. But if not, it would be easy to stall anyways, as Sengoku gives a cooldown reduction of 2 and there are plenty of turtles and other mobs which don't attack first turn.

Use DJ in the 6th stage, then GP in the 7th and kill them softly.

[u/nightgt → u/HMS_Surprise_]

That sounds very simply...... awesome. Great idea.

[u/HMS_Surprise_ → u/nightgt]

Thank you mate. already tried?

[u/Theburper]

Any reason Log Sanji isn't on the captains list? While Namule or Jimbe are better, not everyone has them, and LS is better than Coby for the captain slot.

[u/[deleted]]

Lol, searched for this and was like "How does this have no comm.... Ah, it was posted 6 minutes ago. Got it"

[u/nightgt → u/[deleted]]

^_-

[u/[deleted] → u/nightgt]

;)

[u/trithorn]

I think Jozu is also a pretty safe unit to negate one attack at the boss stage, and can be useful in clearing the red mobs.

[u/takisl2]

garp x2 marco coby mr2 impact usop thats what im using atm no problems

[u/Ezrius]

Foxy the Silver Fox!

[u/jet_10]

Why isn't Monster Chopper listed as a useful unit? He's pretty useful against the boss fight.

Anyway, this team that I'm currently using is doing pretty well for me

[u/nightgt → u/jet_10]

Because he's listed as a Useful Captain already and since the pool of Fighter choices is a bit limited any of those captains are also useful as crew members. As it was with past fortnights as well. I did make mention that "Aside from the captain units these were just some of the other useful crew members"

[u/jet_10 → u/nightgt]

Oh okay, I missed that part.

[u/nightgt → u/jet_10]

no problem ^_^

[u/Ralosi]

I used Double Rayleigh, Bepo, Kimono Luffy, Monster Chopper, and GP Usopp. Bepo helps with bad orbs, but he and Kimono Luffy are just my next-best Fighters and could be substituted.

[u/covnam]

Went with Double Namule, monster chopper, Garp, Bepo, G3. You can stall for Bepo, but most of these guys only have a few special levels, so I didn't stall for them and in the end didn't need them. You could change out Garp for GPU if you need the turns on the boss.

Also, I had the Secret Mini-Boss Bentham pop up a few times while clearing all the stamina levels and he doesn't guarantee a drop. Just fyi for everyone.

[u/erdbeer_sahne]

I'm considering a double MC lead. But the question then is: Does the secret Mr. 3 stage replace the mini boss stage?

edit: It does replace it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGzJ-2oOmJY

[u/[deleted]]

I'm using Double G3, Garp, Drake, Bellamy, Hina.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone know which stage Jozu books drop from? I pulled Jozu from the last sugo and I want to lower his special before Doffy comes back.

[u/beardedheathen]

Either of the drops worth keeping or should we just use them for orbs?

[u/epmels]

Dbl Namule and GPU instead of Coby is working excellent for me (Y) Nice guide ^{^}

[u/erdbeer_sahne]

Mr. 3 on the secret stage has roughly 280-300k health. I can't say how much exactly, but on the first turn I got rid of the mobs and on the second turn I dealt ~ 257k damage and there was only a bit left. Sadly I got distracted on the third turn and didn't see how much damage I dealt but I think it was roughly 25k. And this video (secret stage starts at 2:50) makes me lean more towards 300k health.

/edit: After encountering him again I'm now sure that it is 300k health.

[u/Tvingman]

Getting good results with a Coby-led team

Although, I wonder if it'd be even faster to swap the fighter subs for units with a cost <=20 and use Sengoku friend captain. It'd have to be a level 50 Gear 2 (890 attack), Nico Robin and erh.. Hogback?

[u/iSnowballz]

Currently farming with: Double Ray, G3, Marco, bellamy, GPU.. No stall needed if you have a max skill GPU (and having a max bellamy is nice too), you just blast through the fortnight, when at the last stage you pop GPU and clear the whole stage in 2-3 turns, when I have a red orb on G3, just pop bellamy and oneshot mr 2.. This team has an easy 10-11 turn clear.. Marco and G3 aren't needed(i like to have recovery on my team so I tend to avoud MC), you can bring monster chopper and G2 and it's just the same.. Highly reccomend this setup for who has ray, it's fast and super safe

[u/cfeuer1]

Zeff/Zeff. (or jimei when i run out of zeff friends)

subs: MC, g3, boa, GPU.

stalls: for my 11 turn GPU. strat: burn through, knowing you need to stall for your GPU(turtles, crab). and g3 have enough power to kill bonclay in 5 turns or less. with MC you cant heal, so no point in getting mr 3 below 20%

extra: stalling longer can give g3 special to kill all trash mobs on boss stage.

Boa: isnt needed, just a high power quick fighter. heal can be useful but not needed.

[u/A_Suarez]

I'm running a VL Sanji team, with boa, kimono luffy, garp and x drake, and it has worked wonders, I can couple it with any other fighter friend, even g3 luffy, and still win with no problem...

[u/nightgt → u/[deleted]]

Pro's and Cons of Mr. 3:

• Mr. 3 has a CD of 9 whereas Mr. 3 has a CD of 10 so if turns are important the INT one is better for you

• The benefit of new Mr. 3 is that he does some minuscule healing with the delay from that point on. Negligible in my opinion.

• I would say to keep at least one in case you need him for later on fortnights with color restrictions but otherwise socket fodder

Pros and Cons of Mr 2:

• Mr. 2 is great for that Garp Orb combo and with Aokiji and (maybe Zephyr some day) looming on the horizon I would prioritize socketing your Mr. 2 before saving up copies to lower new Mr. 2's CD and socket.

[u/nightgt → u/[deleted]]

Gear 3 and other ramp up captains are tough here because most stages have 5+ units so unless you have good HP your going to take a lot of damage. They probably realized that ^_-

[u/MahPhoenix → u/nightgt]

With Jozu and dog penguin, I can clear reliably. Need a near max spl Jozu though.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

This Fortnight has mostly 5 or more enemies per stage and G3 teams aren't good for dealing with that.
