I go over it all in the video, but long story short, I wanted to see how much further I can push things than just beating the final boss of the game with General!Alear and their madness.
Even on the highest difficulty mode, I feel like I could get something more. So I did somet digging, and the Tempest Trial mode has some really unique challenges if you crank the difficulty to max. The AI has nearly maxed stats, save for luck and the offensive attribute they do not use. There are also many dragons, as you can see on the second part of this.
And then it hit me. The objective of this is to clear things expeditiously, but what can the enemies do to hinder the ambitions of one who cannot even be scratched due to max General stats, Tiki's Emblem passives, and plus five weapons? Absolutely nothing. Which is why they just stood there and let me waste turns coming to them.
The first two maps require you to kill everyone, and as you can quickly see over the Spiderman pizza theme, the AI is a mixed bag. Can they deal even one damage point to me? They'll go forward and do so. Can they not do so? Some will still Leeroy, others won't.
Let's break down what can kill me and how I handle the threats.
1. Mages. I swapped to a Sword General from Lance General so I could use Alear's prf 2 range sword. They're the vast minority of enemies on maps.
2. Backup type units. Their follow up moves can indeed damage me, but by themselves they shouldn't be able to scratch me. I can either push them away using a heavy sword, or I can use them as bait to entrap the other enemies to hit me.
3. Dragons. They're massive, slow, and have a large hit box. Thanks to some cheesy positioning I was able to safely take them out one at a time.
The core strategy is the same as before-- Unyielding++ with Lifesphere++ to heal 80 HP in one turn if needed, with Hold Out+++ to ensure I can survive even if I have to go Enemy Phase, take a hit, Player Phase, take another hit, and then finish. It makes me nearly indestructible because of the high HP and heals.
I did not get the best prizes, and to be honest I am okay with this. My objective going in was to show it's doable solo, and I accomplished that.
I hope that at some point in time, someone else comes up with a speedier cheese strat where they somehow bait the Ai into attacking regardless of defenses, and come out victorious to solo this all much much faster.
