### General Strategy

#### Farming Strategy

The most optimal team to farm with for extremely fast clears is as follows:

* Green Halloween Gowther (Support) - HP/Def Gear
* Green Sariel (Main DPS) - Attack/Crit Gear
* Red Kizuna (Support) - HP/Def Gear
* Green Deathpierce (Sub) - HP/Def Gear

The goal of this team is to use Sariel’s Stance Counter skill as the main method of damage. This strategy is not reliant on Ultimates or large investment in the units. So long as you own them, this strategy should work. Pick the latter three-point goals, and leave the first unchecked as you will be using Attack food. The reason it matters is because this team can also double up as a point team.

Within the first turn, you’ll want to attack with Kizuna which will rank up her Buff card to affect all allies. Use it within the same turn and use Sariel’s Counter stance. This is where the inclusion of Deathpierce comes in, as his Unique Ability will allow Sariel to Crit more often to make the run more consistent. Tarmiel will attack you three times, allowing for three opportunities to Crit against him. Ideally, Tarmiel will have fallen below 30% HP, which you can then finish him off with Sariel’s attack(s), or he may just die within the first turn. Keep in mind that Tarmiel has a 20% damage cap, meaning that each individual attack can not deal more than 20% of Tarmiel’s health bar. Sariel’s counters bypass it.

In the second phase, you’ll want to have another Stance for Sariel. If Kizuna is caught and targeted by Tarmiel, she will more than likely die. Whether you have a Rank 1 or Rank 2 Stance, use Gowther’s Rank Up skill on it. If you happen to have another Buff card with Kizuna, use it if the Buffs on Sariel have expired. Tarmiel should either die within the turn or be at low HP. Afterward, finish Tarmiel off.

Note: If you struggle with Sariel getting Crits, use a Merlin association with him to increase his Crit Chance.

* Green Estarossa (Sariel Stance Replacement)
	+ Given this unit’s age, you will need a rank 3 Stance to truly have an easier time killing the boss. Additionally, this unit also has weak defenses, so if Tarmiel uses Rank 3 attacks, Estarossa will more than likely die. As such, using Estarossa is very RNG-dependent.

#### Point Strategy

The most optimal team to farm points with is as follows:

* Light Eternal Rebirth Elizabeth (Secondary DPS) - HP/Def Gear
	+ She is used to kill the minions for extra points with her AOE skill.
* Green Sariel (Main DPS) - Attack/Crit Gear
	+ His Stance ability will deal the majority of damage towards the boss and his AOE skill will help kill the minions.
* Blue Festival Ludociel (Support) - HP/Def Gear
	+ Is used for his Unique Ability and Buff card. His damage isn’t much but it can also help damage the minions.
* Red Ragnarok Ban (Sub) - HP/Def Gear
	+ Simply used for his Unique Ability which increases allies’ Attack-related stats and reduces enemy Pierce Rate, Crit Chance, and Crit Damage.

The plan with this team is to do as you normally would with Sariel in the farming section, but with the addition of killing the minions more often. So, you could use Sariel’s Stance in the first turn along with Margaret’s attack and Buff card to get started. Then, in the second turn, you would use Elizabeth’s AOE attack and Sariel’s AOE attack to kill the minions and Tarmiel.

In the second phase, you’ll have to rely on RNG unfortunately. While you can keep attacking with Elizabeth and Sariel to kill the minions over and over, you need a rank 3 Stance to kill Tarmiel and it needs to be within eight turns to satisfy the mission requirement. Without Gowther, this can be lots of resetting until you do. Keep in mind that you should not single-target any specific minion as they increase their stats every time they revive, which can allow them to deal significant damage to you at a certain point.

There is really no way around this, so it is recommended to use the farming team and place within the top 50% if you do not care for high placement. In the top 50%, you still receive Tarmiel’s headpiece and 30 gems.
