### General Strategy

On Floor 17, if there are two units with Counter stances up at the same time, your team receives a significant stat boost. The gimmick is not good - you need to get lucky every turn to get the stat boost every turn, and then you only have one skill use to actually attack, using heroes which are not good. Strongly consider ignoring the gimmick and simply using your strongest team (e.g. Purgatory Meliodas, Demon King, Green or Red Gowther. Ultimate Escanor is not good).

Alternatively, use three heroes with Counter cards (e.g. Blue Chandler, Green Estarossa, Green Arthur, Green Meliodas). It is important to use Red Terry, Blue Old Fart King or Green Howzer, who Counter whenever any ally is attacked. Elaine’s Ultimate stuns and cancels stances, so it is important to prevent her from using it (otherwise you have to get unreasonably lucky two turns in a row to keep two Counters up).

Some great Counter units to use are:

* **Blue Chandler (Ideal)**
	+ He can tank Elaine’s Ultimate and shield your green units from damage
* **Red Terry (Ideal)**
	+ Best DPS for the team as he will attack anytime an ally is attacked
* **Green Estarossa**
	+ Provides Debuff Immunity to the team and deals good damage
* **Green Sariel**
	+ Recommended only with his Holy Relic
* **Green Meliodas**
	+ Niche use, but if you can counter while he is on low health, then he can dish out great damage.
* **Blue Meliodas**
	+ An alternative choice if you are lacking most of the units above.

Recommended support units are:

* **Blue Tarmiel (Ideal)**
	+ With his Holy Relic, Tarmiel can increase counter damage while allowing characters in a stance to take less damage
* **Green New King Arthur**
	+ Grants damage reduction and increased damage dealt by allies
* **Blue Festival Ludociel**
	+ Can help your units deal more damage and tank better while cleansing debuffs
* **Green or Red Gowther**
	+ Rank-up.

Recommended sub-slot units are:

* **Red Elizabeth**
	+ Grants additional healing for allies when taking damage
* **Green Estarossa**
	+ Grant Debuff Immunity to all allies
* **Blue Tarmiel**
	+ Holy Relic effect is still active in the sub-slot
