Yooo, whats good peoples?
So, yes, Lon'qu is back after a long vacation to show Hawkeye how to True Solo a map in a timely manner. Lon'qu will push his speed beyond his current limits to rip through the land of Verdane and demonstrate why he was chosen as a Guardian to the Summoner. So anyways, lets get into this shall we?
My Lon'qu set this time around:
Lon'qu 5*+10 (+Atk -Hp)
Armoursmasher+ (+Def)
Galeforce
Brazen Atk/Spd 3
Desperation 3
Attack Smoke 3
Flashing Blade 3 Sacred Seal
So to explain this set:
Basically, I wanted to complete this map in a way that Hawkeye couldn't. So I initially decided to try to do a Brave Sword/Desperation and Galeforce True solo, and even though I managed to beat all the units except the armour, I didnt have the Hp to beat the green armour. So I ended up going with Armoursmasher but I needed to switch up some of my skills.
Despite Lon'qus really high speed I needed to reach a minimum of 46 speed when Jamke gets buffed by the green armour. So while the +6 extra speed seems unecessary, what I needed was the extra +7 attack to be able to knock out the red horse cavalier in two hits. I initially had gone with Swift Sparrow but it wasnt enough damage output so I switched to Brazen.
Now before when Ive used Galeforce in maps I was forced to use Heavy Blade, and in this map it was horrible because some units could still have more attack then my Lon'qu. However Flashing Blade let me procc and charge Galeforce extremely easily and allowed me to maneuver around the map like a....Gale 😉
Even though I didn't have any healing, it was necessary for Lon'qu to tank units at some points so both Attack Smoke and the Def refine were necessary to allow Lon'qu to survive the combined attack of the Lance Flier and the Axe Knight.
The most obvious AI manipulation Id like to point out is when I used wings of mercy and placed NY Camilla above Lon'qu to make the Blue Horse Mage to go up towards her. That was necessary so that Lon'qu could deal with the horse Cavalier and Red Mage in peace. Then Lon'qu could deal with the Blue mage in peace.
Im very proud of this clear because I very rarely manage Galeforce, no healing soloes. Although Im still a little sad that I couldn't do it with Brave Sword 😅 Also, Lon'qu beat this map in a third of the turns that Hawkeye took. Hawkeye took 21 turns and Lon'qu took 7 turns XD
Also, thinking about it now, if I had the option, I COULD'VE given Lon'qu a speed refine on armour smasher and used Brazen Atk/Def instead. It would fit the requirement of having atleast 46 speed so I could double Jamke to then procc galeforce and while also giving Lon'qu more defense to better tank the melee units AND having the attack needed to two shot the red horse Cavalier. Then I wouldnt have needed to give Brazen Atk/Spd fodder to Lon'qu when I was initially saving it for someone else 😭
Aaaanyways, I hope you enjoyed and have a fantastic day/week/month of your life and I see you peoples next time.
Bye~
