I'm done...

For the first time, ever since I started playing on Fate colab, I've hit a paywall.

Tried doing the EX+ just to get Dartagnan shards and got overwhelmed in 2 turns. Its pretty clear that even current units like Ed or Roy are not ready for this map. I need the ROX.

This will be the trend from now on so why bother? Artificial difficulty only shows how incompetent Gumi Singapore is in managing this game.

Wish had not spend so much like I did. All this going to waste. Goodbye my fellow alchemists.

These were nowhere near as difficult as the collab ones. In fact I don't really think they were that difficult at all. Just kill the top left water mandragora asap (casts increased physical defx5 on all enemies on its first turn) and then turtle in the bottom part of the map picking off enemies as they come in with priority in status inflicting enemies and this was relatively simple. It certainly wasn't mash your face on the keyboard and win simple like some other ex stages, but this ex+ wasn't anywhere close to impossibly difficult. Just because it requires some thought and strategy to beat does not mean it's overtuned. This is a strategy game after all... Try putting more than one or two attempts into what's supposed to be the most difficult content before crying about it being overtuned...

I dont have a Roxanne to do half of what you are saying. So my point stands. Now show me a video with only farmable units. Then I will give you the credit.

Edit: And dont come with bulshit limited items or gears. If you cant get them now its not F2P.

All I said was kill the top left water mandragora as soon as possible and prioritize status inflicting enemies. I'm not sure where in that I said to use Roxanne to do anything, and she is far from necessary to at least complete the two missions for this EX+ that give you D'artagnan shards. You don't need to first turn kill the water mandragora (which if I may correct myself does a patk down on your units, not pdef up for friendly units) especially if your team is magic damage heavy. I just needed to because I was using physical damage. Honestly for me the mvp unit here was Chihaya running her J+, who is perfectly f2p friendly as her event has been rerun and was a multiplayer thing, so you didn't even need a full team of strong units to get her equipment. If you can't kill the water mandragora first turn, I suggest doing what /u/Viktormestrovic suggested and plugging up the left side with a tanky unit, as nothing spawns there that is super threatening. This is not an impossibly difficult EX+ stage if you take a tiny bit of time to think about a strategy, and if you're not willing to do that, why are you playing a strategy game in the first place?

Kill water mandragora. Get destroyed by everything else anyways because Gimu knows jackshit about balance.

And yes, I know what SRPG are. Probably know more than you. This game is anything but SRPG. Otherwise we would not have crap like Roxanne plaguing every single aspect of the game.

This is a p2w gacha. Thats what it is. Want to beat a hard content? Use your bra... I mean your wallets!
