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.
- 1Initial 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.
- 2Marona'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.
- 3Enemy Actions: Enemies may pick up Crystals. It's crucial to reach and confine characters to the Crystals before they move.
- 4Confining Characters: Confine Ash and your Archer to the Crystals. On their turns, move them back towards Marona.
- 5Utilizing 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).
- 6Holding Off Enemies: Manticores should advance towards Ash and your Archer. Hold them off until Marona acquires the Blossom.
- 7Continued Defense: Continue fighting Manticores until your characters are removed. Ensure their weapons are out of reach of Manticores.
- 8Confining More Fighters: On Marona's turn, confine more characters to any remaining weapons.
- 9Stage 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.
- 10Stage 19-3 Items/Objects: Crystal x7, Cactus x4, SacredRck x2, Deadwood x2, CurseTree, Rotten Tr, Wither Tr, Skull, Bone, Flower, PoisonRck, Weed, Seed.
- 11Stage 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%).
- 12Stage 19-3 Strategy:
- 13Notice the Cactus with Strengthen +40% held by a summon.
- 14Move 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.
- 15On Marona's next turn, confine a strong character to the Wither Tree.
- 16Confine another character to the nearby Cactus. Have these two kill the summons fighting over the Cactus.
- 17If the Cactus is intact, confine Ash to it.
- 18As enemies approach, confine more characters to nearby Crystals and the Seed before enemies pick them up.
- 19Send Marona back slightly and confine a fighter to the PoisonRck on the high ledge.
- 20Finish off the remaining enemies.
