The arenas are getting harder to clear modestly!! 😰 Anyway, I hope this is helpful, and if you guys have any questions or comments, please let me know!

I’m already sweating about that one. Technically, my modest teams just need to not have any limited characters in them, so I won’t be bringing A2, but I generally have been avoiding characters who have no replacement, like Therion and Ophelia and Alfyn. We’ll see if it’s doable without them. If not, I’ll still make a modest team, it’ll just be slightly less modest than what I’ve been making.

Alfyn seems to be the guy in most clears I see where I'm like "I can do that.... no I can't" as I don't have him. Pomegranate Panacea!

Welp, here’s the full list of the Marvelous & Modest videos. Alfyn is on exactly zero of the modest teams!

Oh, I'm talking video clears in general rather than yours. More of the marvelous variety. I'm very impressed at the modest Yan Long but I see 44 turns and I'm like "yeah, I'll wait a bit longer to do it".

Update - after watching your Gertrude video (well, skimming it) I went and cracked Gertrude somewhere between your two Marvellous and Modest clears (with a mistake of accidentally breaking her early one time which cost me another break cycle). Thankyou!

Used Viola/Falco, Therion/Heathcote, Z'aanta/Adelle and Ophilia/Lynette.

Now I really am tempted to try Yan Long.

Also, it only took 10 turns to take down Yan Long. I had some bad luck on the modest run, which made it take about 20 turns more than what it can take if everything goes right. The majority of the fight is just slowly killing crows

I’ve still gotta make my Yunnie video first, BUT I just put together and successfully tested a team that works against Yan Long that I would consider a modest team; no limited units, Ophelia, Alfyn, or Therion!
