I beat him/her earlier today.

Lilly as a lead is not necessary, ESPECIALLY with her 6* / SBB now, she does just fine as a unit in the party. My only healer is Rashil. Do not rely on Melchio as your status remove / prevent unit as his buff can be removed. It can be done with some luck, but i found it too inconsistent.

Leader Darvenshel
Lilly
Rashil
Zelnite
Lilith
Grahden Friend

I tried with 2x Lilith at first, but Zelnite makes it 100x easier. Lodin would even work. I just used him as a battery and ignored using his BB at all unless I needed it. I was able to heal/darv guard 95% of the turns. I made use of Zelnites damage after the resurrection by dumping the rest of my Fujins into him. I frogged Darvenshel and Zelnite. Zelnite had legwand/sol on and Darvenshel Dandelga/evil shard. If I were to do it again I would have gave Darv a sol also and Rashil my one evil shard. Rashil anima has plenty of health. (Themis should be ok too if Anima)

The best way to reduce luck factor and make it smooth is to increase the amount of BB's Oulu/Darv and your healer can get off as much as possible. Also counters losing track of turns / swipe errors / etc.
Grats ! I am still feeling the sting of frustration. I've mostly been doing Lilly/Altri/Darvan/Lilith/Lilith with friend Grah. I usually lose to lame damage spikes ( double destiny on darvan ? sure, why not ), but defensive coverage is still a problem - I tried your suggestion of swapping a darvan to leader and swapping a lilith for zelnite, but I found that even harder to maintain BCs - couldn't keep a good uptime on her buff with having to guard all the time.

I'd like to try Lilly/Darvan leader combo, having two darvans should cover holes pretty well - this is proving troublesome because all the darvan friends I invite immediately switch to random rubbish ( michele ? really ? ) and never change back ! Are you able to friend me (9208843668) and have your darvan as leader when you aren't using it for a bit please ? 8)

Don't have Lilith. Have not heard any story of someone beating Max that doesn't have Lilith. Sad.

Finally got enough points on the end to get my sphere frog. Now back to getting smacked by the terminus

Since you have Altri I would not use Darvanshel as a leader. Lilly/Altri/Darvanshel/Lilith/Lilith/Grah sounds amazing. Is everyone SBB10? Did you sphere frog Darvanshel? Zelnite made a difference over second Lilith for me because of dual sphere Sol Creator. Don't underestimate those second sphere slots.

I'm going to be BB farming all day and some questing so I will leave him up as leader. Inviting now.

If anyone else needs a Darv / Lilly leader set for Maxwell, just ask I will keep it up.

You can easily do it without Lilith. Lilith is just very nice because she generates great BC with her SBB and is consistent. Post your units.

Great pulls! Make sure you raise your breaker Mariudeth, not Anima if you got one.

I'm sure most people know this, but just in case....
to get 1 more go at metal parade or any place you need a key and you are out of energy and time.

example, my metal parade ended about 15 minutes ago and i had 1 energy when i was all done.
to get 1 more go without spending a key...

1) before the timer ends, go back into the metal parade (where you have to select which you want to do, earth metal, thunder metal, super metal etc...)
2) let the screen sit there (if you are not in a rush to play other parts of the game, i'm at work so no biggie)
3) since you are in the screen to select your parade, it does not check the key timer, just wait for your energy to fill naturally then select the parade you want

right now i'm at 20 energy and waiting in the parade select screen... once i hit 40, i can select super metal again and did not have to use a key. This only works 1x per key use, because when you do this, it kicks you out after you are done. but you can always get 1 more in if you are patient and do not mind waiting.
enjoy for all those that did not know.

Tried Terminus this morning. Made it to round 6, basically took it super slow since I don't have a team built for spark/crit or whatnot. Oulu SBB10 Lead, Elimo SBB6, Michele SBB10, Uda SBB10, Melchio BB1, and Grahdens friend. Round 6 was Grahdens and by this time my items were all gone. Still, almost killed him and nearly cracked 1m so I'm relatively happy. I make no illusions about being able to get a Legwand gem this time around though.

I'm not close to taking down maxwell, but I think I have the team: Lily lead, Altri, Lilith, Elimo, Melchio , Grah friend. Is that too heal heavy?

You don't have a Maxwell team until you either have Darvanshel or Oulo. Seriously, don't even bother. If you want to do it without them you have to wait until there's more of these overpowered Grand Gaia spheres out and you have double spheres on your whole team.

Not sure I'll bother rolling on this set, have 15 stones but would rather save them or use them elsewhere (die in a fire Item capacity). Would be really happy to just be able to do a Karl or Grah's run and break the 950k for a Sphere Frog but currently about 930k seems to be my top end.

Probably work on just evolving my Zelnite, Darvanshel, and Lilly this week, only missing the damn dragon mimics for all of them and have crystals saved up for levels... and still 20 burst frogs.

I was really hoping to get the FH End sphere frog too, but I'm not good at those things and have no idea how to build a good FH team.

Another tip that I'm not sure has been posted here yet: When you do upgrades on the town screen (with Karma), raise the level of a node (Mountain, River, Tree, Spheres, etc) and dump the rest of your Karma into it before heading back to the home screen. You'll get "refunded" all of the Karma spent after the level.

Example:

You have 500,000 karma.
You're looking to level up your spheres, and currently need 200,000 to level.
Dump the 200,000 karma into it, and then another 300,000.
Head to the home screen, and you'll have 300,000 remaining karma despite having spent 500,000.

You can play with it to get all of your nodes to under 10,000 karma to level. At that point, level it and bring it to just before the next level. Head to the home screen and repeat. You'll end up spending a miniscule amount of karma and basically auto-leveling your stuff. The more karma you have to play with, the easier this is. I'm not sure how leveling twice works. I did it once by accident but wasn't paying attention to how much I had and so I don't know how much it refunded.

So wait, looking at mechanics...

Oulo:
50% dmg for 1 turn
100% def for 1 turn

Darv
50% dmg for 1 turn
50% def for 3 turns

Elimo:
25% dmg for 1 turn
50% def for 3 turns
Heal

It's the dmg reduction part that's required?

Any team that can get max BB/SBB every turn(Zelnite, Dilma, Felneus etc etc), assuming 3+ enemies. Bad luck on enemies will fuck your score no matter who you bring.

Marauder item set,1st round use the Fujin potions on your guys that will generate the most BC. ATK elixir every fight. Mass attacks kill everything and fill your BBs. Repeat every round and hope you get lucky with spawns of 3+ monsters that you can kill in one round of attacks.

I'm still struggling to get the sphere frog as well, but it's just due to shit luck. With proper luck you can get 200k+ in a single round. But then the next floor I get a single fucking monster and that puts the brakes on everything.

Fh randomness sucks. Got 40k away from the legwand gem. Most of the rewards done. Also that karma tip will make it a million times easier to get my sphere hut to 43.
