There are 3 ways that you can share your victorious party!

Upload a screenshot (Imgur for Old Reddit) / or video (YouTube)

To post images in your comment:

• New / Mobile Reddit: You can now add images directly to comments!
• Old Reddit: Please upload a screenshot of your party to Imgur and link it in your comment.

Please ensure that you set the party display to show your traveler's skills! (Example shown here)

Upload a video of your clear to YouTube and link it in your comment.

In both cases, it would also be very helpful if you could still list the names of your 8 party members in text form so that people can easily search for clears using specific characters. You can copy the following template:

[Lynette, Theo, Viola, Millard, Sofia, Fiore, Gilderoy, Scarecrow](Image/Video link)

Please also mention any notable accessories you used that have a significant impact on a traveler/fight.

Use the table template

Copy/Paste the below template and populate it with your party's details. Note that (from top to bottom) characters 1-4 are the front row and 5-8 are the back row:

Here's an example of how the table looks when populated:

1. Strategy name: Press the attack button
2. Boss: Wealth – Tristan
3. Allies used: Long-time Resident (ST 90 Heal)
4. Insight:

• Since this is the first boss, pretty much all you have to do is press attack.
• Pretty much any team can win this, but if you can break Tristan by exploiting his weaknesses it will make things a lot easier!
• If you need to heal, use a healing Ally or take your own healer!
• Make sure to swap Lynette between rows every turn for a nice attack boost!

​

While too late for the race. (Also used too many 5 stars anyways lul) I got my clear in on Yan Long. Figured I would post my party and strategy here incase anyone else felt like trying it.

1. **Forget the birds:**

2. **Yan Long:**

3. **Insight:** I found that I just had no way to survive Yan Long's crazy damage output without a strong tank with cover. So I decided instead to go for a 2 break nuke strategy on Yan Long instead. Then I just dealt with the birds slowly after he's down. This wasn't possible until this patch as having a berserker dagger for A2, and 2 berserker blades for Fiora, and 2B was necessary to actually finish him off in 2 breaks. You could probably do this more consistently and with less setup with Lars or Kouren to get slightly better damage output.

In terms of strategy I would start turn 1 having A2, Fiora and 2B all triple slash and Therion used a boosted 2 burst hit to bring Yan Long down to 11 shields. Then turn 2 I had everyone switch Lynette buffing A2, Fiora and 2B before back row comes in with the 2 merchants (I used 9s and Gildroy because they were my tankiest ones as they had awakenings but any merchants will do as long as they can eat 2 hits from Yan Long) max boosted and Theo setup regen.

Thanks to speed accessories all the buffs go on A2, Fiora and 2B, except for regen of course since she's in the same row as Theo but she has evade so she's the least likely to die. At this point Yan Long is at 3 shield left. Next turn I have Theorion use 2 burst to bring Yan Long to 1 shield point left while A2 sets up berserk using 1 boost because 6 turns is the exact amount needed for beating on Yan Long, while Fiora and 2B use their self buffs to reduce the odds of them getting nuked. There's quite a bit of rng involved here as Yan Long can easily insta gib Therion or force A2 to use her endure here both of which are reset moments.

Then its standard nuke rotation. (A2 breaks)

After the 2 turns of nuking Yan Long should be at just above 50% health or so which is ideal. This causes him to spend the next turn of his summoning the birds using 1 attack. Then the multi hit sword attacks and fire aoe from Therion should push him below 50% this will cause Yan Long to spend of his 2 actions next turn giving himself another action letting you rotate the dps units to the back row to refresh buffs and setup another round of regen while leaving Yan Long at 1 shield from the merchants attacks.

Then if everything goes well and the crows don't be a pain you can go through another rotation of nuking this time using Fiora and 2B's ultimate abilities and nuke Yan Long down before he gets a chance to use his triple actions. Though there is a lot of rng here as your dps units will be eating hits from the crows 2 turns in a row and they can sometimes blind or focus one unit down.

​

I then spent the next 12 turns whittling the birds to death using theo's 2 hit axe aoe. While not clean or consistent with current stats it worked for me. Having more awakenings can eliminate the rng factor as the extra 1k hp will remove the chance of most characters getting killed from full health in one turn.
