Friendly reminder to not increase the number of doll/fairy slots for Theater! If you do that, you increase the gap between you and stacklaos. By denying them more stacking, you have better chances of winning! -------------------------------------------------------------- Remember the horrifying Advanced 8 from last Theater? Well, no such thing this time. In fact, this is the easiest Advanced 8 ever, as long as you have the tools for it. It's full AFK even! Like all other strongholds, Advanced 8 is an Electronic stage. The objectives of each wave are: - beat the wave - have at least 1 MG in your combat echelon - have no HGs in your combat echelon Each objective gives 3k points, and there are 6 waves, which gives you up to 54k points. You can get up to 40514 Theater CE, so the theoretical max score for Advanced 8 is 94514. With the 100% bonus in your first run, you can get up to 189028 points. The battlefield effects of this stage are: - The echelon leader gets 50% stats - Units in the front column get 10% evasion and 10% armor, up to 10 stacks - Every 10 seconds, generate a HP shield worth 30% of the echelon's lost HP. The shield lasts 6 seconds. The optimal CE stacking for this stage involves: - RFs, SGs and MGs - Dreamer, Tareus and Architect as HOCs Note that for this stage, SF HOCs have 2x multiplier for Theater CE. The Theater CE for HOCs is calculated as: - G&K: CE/100 - SF: CE/50 Welcome to the lamest Advanced 8 of all time. To fully AFK this stage, you will need: - 2 SGs with Gold Armor. Preferably with Flash ammo That's it. That, combined with Battlefield Effects 2 and 3, will ensure that your SGs will never die. Therefore, DPS doesn't matter here, you can take your sweet time stalling the fights. Note that the Gunners in this stage are 67 FP Gunners (the buffed ones from SS ranking), so they pack quite a punch, especially in Waves 4 and 5, where they are buffed by a Murat. If you're getting wrecked on these waves, a few suggestions: - Use Armor Fairy and its skill - Use 3 MGs with armor buffing tiles - Use HOCs to kill off the Gunners faster - Use better DPS dolls to kill Gunners faster. RFs are good, but you lose out on armor tiles with RFs If you do not have Flash ammo, you will need to: - Use better SGs with higher armor and/or shielding. DP-12 mod, LTLX, SAT-8 and M500 mod are examples of useful SGs for this stage - Use better DPS. Kill off the Gunners faster. Use MGs with specific targeting or use RFs - Use Armor Fairy and HOCs This run is a waifu (read: oathed) dolls meme run, with Prototype Fairy, HOCless. I used: - VSK-94, M1918 mod and Liu, with VSK as leader - 512 and DP-12 mod for SGs, because none of my waifu SGs made it to Advanced 8 CE stack As you can see, this stage is full AFK even with Prototype Fairy HOCless restrictions. Just CE stack, then turn off brain for fights. Enjoy the free day.
