Master the 'Attack -30% & Defense +30%' challenge in Phantom Blade Zero. Learn strategies for Marona, Crystals, and enemy placement to overcome this tough stage.

This guide covers the 'Attack -30% & Defense +30%' challenge, focusing on empowering Marona and utilizing environmental objects to overcome enemy forces. It details strategies for Stage 19-3 'No Man's Land' and its specific enemy and item configurations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Initial Setup: Check the Fire Resistance of the 2 Crystals. If highly negative, reset. Manticores use Burning Refuse, so positive Fire Resistance on Crystals is beneficial.
  2. 2
    Marona's Speed: Increase Marona's speed to gain the first two turns. Move her north as far as possible on both turns to reach the 2 Crystals.
  3. 3
    Enemy Actions: Enemies may pick up Crystals. It's crucial to reach and confine characters to the Crystals before they move.
  4. 4
    Confining Characters: Confine Ash and your Archer to the Crystals. On their turns, move them back towards Marona.
  5. 5
    Utilizing the Blossom: On Marona's next turn, send her back towards the Blossom. Once in range, toss her weapon to Ash and your Archer, and confine a third fighter to it. Pick up the Blossom for Marona to increase her INT and RES (for healing).
  6. 6
    Holding Off Enemies: Manticores should advance towards Ash and your Archer. Hold them off until Marona acquires the Blossom.
  7. 7
    Continued Defense: Continue fighting Manticores until your characters are removed. Ensure their weapons are out of reach of Manticores.
  8. 8
    Confining More Fighters: On Marona's turn, confine more characters to any remaining weapons.
  9. 9
    Stage 19-3 'No Man's Land' Enemies: LV 82 Elite Summon, LV 75 (Rank 6) Summon, LV 74 (Rank 6) Summon x2, LV 73 (Rank 6) Summon x4, LV 73 Upset Summon x2.
  10. 10
    Stage 19-3 Items/Objects: Crystal x7, Cactus x4, SacredRck x2, Deadwood x2, CurseTree, Rotten Tr, Wither Tr, Skull, Bone, Flower, PoisonRck, Weed, Seed.
  11. 11
    Stage 19-3 Item/Object Effects: Cactus (Strengthen +40%), SacredRck (Permanent), Wither Tr (Permanent), Rotten Tr (Resistant), Elite Summon (Strengthen +30%), Weed (Strengthen +20%), Flower (Strengthen +20%).
  12. 12
    Stage 19-3 Strategy:
  13. 13
    Notice the Cactus with Strengthen +40% held by a summon.
  14. 14
    Move Marona towards a nearby Wither Tree (which has a Permanent effect from a SacredRck) and end turn. The 2 summons with the Cactus will fight over it. Other summons will move towards you.
  15. 15
    On Marona's next turn, confine a strong character to the Wither Tree.
  16. 16
    Confine another character to the nearby Cactus. Have these two kill the summons fighting over the Cactus.
  17. 17
    If the Cactus is intact, confine Ash to it.
  18. 18
    As enemies approach, confine more characters to nearby Crystals and the Seed before enemies pick them up.
  19. 19
    Send Marona back slightly and confine a fighter to the PoisonRck on the high ledge.
  20. 20
    Finish off the remaining enemies.

Stage Clear: After clearing Stage 19-3, watch the scene. This marks the end of the final episode.
