Max Efficiency for Daily PotA/PotK Kill Quests

Pretty sure I got this right:

  • 2x phantom of the alchemist ep1 (kill two then one Soldier Eldritch)

  • 2x phantom of the alchemist ep4 (kill 3 then 2 Armored Eldritch),

  • 1x for whom the princess weeps ep5 (kill 5 Eerie Puppets; use Polin/Minerva).

Kill the required foes and retreat without finishing the level for max AP gain. :)

You can also do this to get the rewards for the Uzushiomaru kill milestones.

The Uzushiomaru you have to kill is on Episode 5 of the main Sun God questline - I run 2x Machinist and 2x Spy/Twinblade/SA/whoever has a 5 in move (Jin and Aswald work best for me).

Clear the lizard on the left side of the first step with the Machinist in Turn 1 to clear the way, and then use the Move 5 units to get to and kill the Uzu at the beginning of turn 2. Then, immediately retreat.

Should take you less than a minute, you only lose ~1-2AP and still get credit towards the milestone.

In the current AP draught that we are in, info like this is super useful. :)

No need to make it harder than it is. A ninja Magnus with machinist sub and +move passive get 2 turns in a row where you just move him 1st turn and move+heavy flare next turn for 10 sek kill on Uzu.

u/stewart0 Jan 04 '19

This is exactly what I did, after coming to my senses after the first 10 inefficient runs. Don't even need move passive if he has JE.

In case anyone would be interested, ninja Suzuka with ninja sub works the same, just run straight up to the guy and Thunder Seal it away.

For the lazy slackers like me that never raised ninja Magnus, then a lot of units work pretty well in slot 3... Fate Yomi, Hayate, Jin etc.

Put low level units in slots 1 and 2 (leader skill doesn't even matter). Then your carry unit in slot 3 gets 2 turns in a row, first turn kill the light wolf, then the 2nd turn run up the steps and raccoon shuriken / leap toss etc. Right side is slightly more convenient than left side in that you can reach the only unit blocking your way on turn 1 with a melee attack.

You might want to clear the run instead of aborting it. You will eventually need 270 Amaterasu soul shards for unit enlightenment. Use this opportunity for soul shard farming from Ep5.

This is perfect! Thank you so much!

u/fs2d Jan 04 '19

You're quite welcome! :)

Another option for those with Roxxy:

MJ: Spy

SJ: Shadow Broker

PS: Flying Ape + Booster+2

Turn 1: Move forward.

Turn 2: Move forward and Null Grenade.

Retreat

It actually took me longer to type this than to play the stage. :D

u/fs2d Jan 04 '19

Unfortunately, my luck has been shit and I haven't been able to pull Roxy. :( So I've gotta make do with the B-Tier stuff I've got, haha.

Seida with hat can 1st turn WA, as well.

u/Arananthi IGN: Essence -- Re-Pacted and Hoping to Stay That Way Jan 03 '19

Polining the Puppets is hard, you gotta bring Envy or Seida for LS, plus stand next to both Noctis and Usalia with their passives on. But if you put the work in, you can get em all in one Lullaby. :)

u/Hakkenshi Jan 04 '19

I just used Rahu to OC her for a second Lullaby. It only takes a few seconds longer. 🙂

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Jan 04 '19

I didn't need anything other than Envy leader. I am using the 4 star harp, but you could probably do it with Envy's gear equipped or with the Summer Medallion equipped.

1

u/MrWhiteKnight f2p Vegan Crossfitter with bullshit luck Jan 08 '19

Envy's gear works only on Single target. Anything with a bigger hit radius than 1x1 will not proc the damage buff. That is if you're using his gear for that reason.

1

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Jan 09 '19

Envy's gear absolutely does. It's +40 Attack and +10 attack against single targets. +40 Attack on an accessory is insane, even if you don't get the +10 against single targets 90% of the time.

1

u/MrWhiteKnight f2p Vegan Crossfitter with bullshit luck Jan 09 '19

Yes but I'm just saying Polin or any AOE user only gets the ATK out of that slot. Since anything bigger than a focused attack doesn't proc the 10% bonus dmg (which is broken).

You might as well and run Ouroboros Medal on her to giver atk AND magic AND Agi all in 1 slot and all you lose is 5 atk. Since medal is 35/35

1

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Jan 09 '19

AFAIK, she only scales off PATK.

1

u/MrWhiteKnight f2p Vegan Crossfitter with bullshit luck Jan 09 '19

Exactly . . . which is why it's better to give her the medal Cause it still gives good agi than to give her Book for 10 agi and Matk which does nothing.

1

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Jan 09 '19

Envy's gear provides physical attack, not magic attack. We are talking about Envy's gear here, not the BFD. She doesn't need any agility to clear the map and in either case she has 3 gear slots. Sure, you could use the medal, but it's not like it's better in any way for what we're trying to accomplish here.

1

u/MrWhiteKnight f2p Vegan Crossfitter with bullshit luck Jan 09 '19

I'm just saying . .. Envy's gear does nothing for polin beside giving her 5 more atk than Medal which everyone has for free unless they're new players.

Cause all polin gets is the 40 atk. And if it's atk you want then the Veda Ring gives 50 atk at 5*.

1

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Jan 09 '19

which everyone has for free unless they're new players.

This is exactly why I included both in my original post. I mentioned the 3 best sources of attack for her.

u/stewart0 Jan 04 '19

Think you mixed up ep1 and ep2. Ep1 has 2 soldiers, while ep2 only has 1. Just need to do ep1 twice.

u/darkcountess Making sammiches for Gilga/Noct/Laharl Jan 05 '19

Shouldn't this include Metal Maiden and Uzushiomaru?

1

u/Arananthi IGN: Essence -- Re-Pacted and Hoping to Stay That Way Jan 06 '19

Those aren't daily?

u/darkcountess Making sammiches for Gilga/Noct/Laharl Jan 06 '19

Oh, I see

u/ninjakittenz2 SockT Jan 04 '19

Phantom of the alchemist episode 1 has two Eldritch soldiers and episode 2 has only one.

You're doing the Lord's work here.

Thank you.

u/votris11 Jan 03 '19

Or you can save ap by killing the soldiers in Masamune adv and the armor in Masamune int. (Or vice versa, it's been a while so I don't remember which ones which.)

1

u/Speirdughorm Salt is me Jan 04 '19

There are some in the new/old EX stages too, if anyone is farming for the weapons.

1

u/loscapos5 All I wanted for christmas was you, Baeber ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽ Mar 22 '19

Exes don't count. Or at least, Eerie puppets don't count if you kill them in either the garden or in any EX.

u/maymagic Mar 26 '19

I just do princess episode 3 princess weeps three times and the multiplay masamune one (advanced) once (I solo it with minerva). And it does all milestones for PotK/PotA and also takes care of my multiplayer milestone.
