Talk:Blossom! Ladies of the Blade/@comment-5007614-20150716164558

The Naginata is actually a very good blade, especially for a 4*. I agree that the quest to get one isn't worth the effort unless:


 * have good squad
 * micromanage movements, attacks and abilities
 * (optional) have Revival Fruit(s)

I got the 4th chest on my first run, but didn't get the 3rd chest until my 4th attempt. I took Level 60 Nimpha friend, but died. I used a Revival Fruit thinking I had gotten the chest I needed, but I was mistaken.

MLB Trystan (mine AND friend), and luck with mana, are what kept me alive and without continuing. Trystan's dash can hit two rows at the same time. The key is waiting until the small fry (priests and DEF-buffing dancers) appear, and use his dash to daze two bosses at the same time (less damage to your party) AND kill off the support units. The 2nd Trystan covers the other half of the field, in case I have trouble maneuvering my first into position.

I try to limit skill use to 1-dash on boss rounds, to save as much mana as I can for the final round. The sub-bosses actually go down fast if you focus on one. A single Trystan dash+daze hitting two bosses can reduce the damage you suffer significantly.

I try to have a lot of healing for my last fight (L55+ Melvina), 2-3 greens. I wait until the Axe-bosses show up, and the support units, before I use Trystans' dash abilities. The 2nd Trystan usually benefits from 2-chain combo bonus (first Trystan, heal). The main boss, while he has a ton of HP, only focuses on one unit, and I try to keep that person healed while my other units focus to take out the Axe bosses, saving the main boss for last. Get rid of those dancers and priests, especially if you miss with Trystan's dash - they will prolong the fight, which is already stacked against you.

My party: L73 Selene (tank), L70 Coro (just attacks), L80 Trystan (AOE damage and daze), Melvina (heal), L60 Phoena (support party), L50 Amille (support party). Friend: L80 Trystan preferred.

Hope that helps.
