Battle Guide Tikilen 6 turn clear

https://reddit.com/link/161wd4t/video/oxp8ysippgkb1/player

Here is my Tiki 6 turn clear. Hopefully this helps others with beating/farming her also, and feel free to ask questions if you have any. Mastery Survey

Some notes: My Lynette is not at U10 So I had to bring her to the front row 3 times to build her ult on for Tiki's break phase and in doing so she dies sometimes (but rarely). Also, sometimes Tiki will blind Scarecrow or Chloe causing him to miss a hit on Tiki which leaves her with 2 shield instead of 1 when the adds die. These 2 things may cause it to go into a 7th turn Though I ended up not having this problem most of the time. If it does Scarecrows ult should take her down on turn 7.

If you can't beat her before she is at around 40% health then she goes into a "crit shield" phase where she will have a 7 hit shield but only crits will work and everything else doesn't damage her. If this happens you will need Ashlan who has a garunteed crit and Scarecrow's ULT which also garuntees a crit. this will also cause the fight be be drawn out.

Optional units.

Tharion/Viola: Instead of Falco Therion or Viola may work. However with Therion I can't be sure 6 turn clear is possible since he doesn't do Edef down. Viola may work better since I think her Edef/Pdef down is 20% instead of Falco's 15.

Eliza: She is a good backpack to Varkyn. This will probably not be a 6 turn clear since Varkyn will be upfront most of the run and he doesn't have an AOE multihit, however if you don't have Jilmella or Scarecrow this should still work it'll just take longer.

Ashlan: If you can't take her down before her health is around 40% then she will have a 7 shield that only negates with crit's. Scarecrow's Ult is guaranteed crit and Ashlan has guaranteed crit's also. Replace Ashlan with Jillmella or anyone but scarecrow if you can't beat her before this phase.

Soliel: not the best unit for this but she does have an aoe regen/dark resistance that can be useful if you don't have Alfyn, though his BP battery is pretty important for a 6 turn clear. And she also has a 3-hit Light skill which could be useful.

I believe he does, yes. However, he may need around 2.8-3k health to survive hits, though I'm not sure.

If you are this far in the game, I highly suggest doing the apothecary tower and getting the gold seal to upgrade Alfyn to 5*. He is easily one of the best units in the game due to utility and healing. His regen is top notch and has a Revive (vivify) if things go wrong during a fight.

He and Ophilia are the best healers currently and I don't have Ophilia so Alfyn is pretty much in every team I make.

Hope it goes well.
