Postgame guide

Post Game Guide:

Update on 22 May 2017: With the release of the Fiel Powerlevel system, please be informed that it is now super easy to level. Any team of 4 units can reach 99 in about 3 hours. This means no more resetting on the hire screen. Please keep that in mind. A lot of the below info can be useful but know that meta safety now requires multiple deathmarch units (e.g. Lancer with catapault) for guaranteed safety from niche detachments like medic bottle burst. Most of the dual no escape 4 challengers (requires 3+ deathmarch or 2 deathmarch lancers to dodge) are in Fiel so you should be safe there.

Foreword from Satorin:

The purpose of the postgame guide is to help you on the fastest route to full power in personal play (10s consistent clears) for optimally efficiency levelling, farming and hero grinding. It also suggests the easiest to create and most efficient delaying detachment (4 challenger).

They are NOT compulsory or an obligation. Only suggestions. If you have other preferences we'll work with you on them. That said, if you're not sure what to build. You won't go wrong with the suggestions here.

Part 1: Recommended War Op Party
By now you have had some experience with ops from the grinding to L99. You probably can appreciate the power of a fast win. The frustration of certain enemy units taking too much of your time. In extreme cases, wiping from strong enemies. Our aim is to remove all of that and give you a party that can speed clear with maximum efficiency and minimum delay.

a)	2 Paladins
You can’t run from using 2 paladins. With a human catapault, the paladins can both perform their spin > poke > spin > poke combo for a total of 4 spins and 4 pokes. This should wipe 99% of the teams and they move before any non deathmarch unit. This is the meta and there’s no way round using overspin for fast clearing.

b)	DM Unit Support
With the paladins clearing 99% of the teams in 10s, the remainding 1% are a pain. They can be focused to delay you, take too little damage or rush you down for a wipe before you can move. To get past this. We need Deathmarch support units.

Deathmarch is the unique skill that all range units have a 25% chance to learn. We need to farm it and clone it for your 2 DM supports. Their aim is to provide assist and utility and disable the 1% troublesome teams.

We currently recommend DM Arcanist for Break Zone (-30% def) which can drastically improve your overspin efficiency. The arcanist can also escape instantly since he’s a DM unit. If need be, he can snipe a no escape flag for the other DM unit to escape. For telepally setups, the arcanist can snipe the enemy DM witch to disable the combo.

The second DM unit we recommend is a DM archer. They provide the best assist possible with assist arrow and massive range. In cases where a no escape flag has been sniped by the arcanist, the archer makes the instant retreat.

c)	Farming
Paladins need to be hired and levelled repeatedly until one learns overspin. Use this chart to confirm if your paladin learns overspin. If not drop and repeat the levelling. With 2 L99 units, you should be able to raise 2 levelling units with ease, particularly with L99 paladin spinner hires. You should be able to raise 2 units to L40-50 per op.

Once overspin has been learnt, you will be able to clone it with training orbs every 50 wins or normally every 150 wins. Once you have 2 spinner paladins, you’re pretty much set for any form of speed clearing.

Deathmarch is found on any range unit with 25% chance. We recommend raising an archer and arcanist to L99 normally and hope for a lucky roll for deathmarch. If one gets it, we can slowly clone it just like we did overspin. If neither get it, we have to begin our Challenger farming.

Challenger farming involves raising 2 challengers to L39 (one op is adequate) and checking if deathmarch is learnt. If not, keep those 2 challengers and raise another 2. Repeat until you have 2 deathmarch challengers. Then clone deathmarch to your arcanist and archer.
Now you’ll have a full 2 spinner, 2 DM party. You’ll generate 2 DM every 50-150 wins depending on orb usage. For orbs do refresh the singles quests until you see it as a reward. For infiltration missions, check youtube.

d)	Final Skill Output

Use the googledoc for searching if you need to find a specific skill
(URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1klLucvn27CZbI2_wdJbGcuS3sPzIPu2lxfF4Uv8OMeE)

Paladin Skills Suggestion
-	Forced Entry
-	Recon Support
-	Deadly Blow
-	Uniform Blow

DM Arcanist
-	Deathmarch
-	Dire Straits
-	Long Sights
-	Precision Attack

DM Archer
-	Deathmarch
-	Dire Straits
-	Long Sights
-	Short Sights

The fastest way to farm the above skills is as follows. Due to some game bugs, the actual level may be slightly off. The order is more important. E.g. For the first ability deathmarch, any arcanist that gets precision fire as first skill will get deathmarch! By taking them to travel quests and confirming the first few skills they have you can quickly hire new characters until you confirm your unit has the skill you want. This was contributed by the Fiel researcher Athreck

Congratulations. You now what what is arguably the most efficient op clearing party. Your spinners backed up with archer assist and arcanist break zone will tear through 99% of the parties in 10s. Anything tough, you have the power to escape without fighting. Sniping a no escape flag as needed. Use our list of units to flee from as a guide.

Part 2:  Fiel Recommended Detachments

Now that you have a powerful meta party, its time to work on 5 strong detachments to help out 24/7 since they are always active.
Detachments come in 3 types. Delaying units try to slow you down, tough units try to bait you into taking time to break their defences, execution units try to perform burst DPS in DM to wipe you.

Of all the 3, the current recommended detachment for Fiel is the delaying type. This is because it gives the largest benefit of all 3 and requires the least resources to create.

a)	4 challenger team
Fiel’s current recommended detachment uses 4 challengers of L39. This is why you had to make so many earlier. With the right skill setup, each challenger can chain cast skills in DM to delay 30s before any non deathmarch unit moves. With 4 challengers that’s a full 120s before normal units move. In most situations, such a delay would result in an insurmountable gap in operations because the other side has captured so many forts while you were delayed.

b)	Advantages
+ No gear needed
+ No S rank needed
+ No waiting for the unit to learn specific skills depending on pattern
+ Works on nearly all units
+ Delay is 120s guaranteed minimum. Possibly longer. Enemy having 1 DM unit might result in a reduced duration if they kill a challenger or two. Each challenger gives 30s.

c)	Requirements
+ 99 Vit
+ 6 Agl
+ L39 challenger (this is the last level for all patterns where he gets the final skill we need Last Run)
+ Provoke and Signal Flare (buy from home base, easy)
+ Deathmarch

d)	Overview
+ Use TWO no escape flag
+ Set a call trap in the middle
+ Have your 4 challengers use desperado, last run, provoke, signal flare, anger guard (in that order)
+ Set this for all 4 actions and put movement to 0
+ Any marching order will do

Do note that invading formation you can only put no escape and arrow shield. Defensive formation can put the full no escape, arrow shield and action up. Do test them in a trial battle first to see if they dance properly. Nearly everything provoke/arrowshield, etc is found in guild base shop.

Congrats! You now have the most feared dispatch in the game. Your enemies will tremble before you. Help Fiel build up an army of 4 challengers so that you can contribute to the war effort 24/7 by keeping them out snaring the foes of Precia.

Optional. The Patsy skill can allow a unit to grit that is not a leader. We recommended a patsy in front and a leader at back to try for extra grits. You don't have to wait for Patsy to begin the 4 challenger. Add it later when you have access to it.

For maximum carnage reset and try to lower unit level as much as possible while maintaining 99 vit. This can be done through pyros, higher aptitudes, etc. This is a long term target that will allow a wider ranger of levels to be snared. Currently you should be able to drop it as low as level 10-15 on a S aptitude VIT challenger. The gold standard will be a Level 1 challenger gained from very high S rank aptitudes to gain enough points at level 1 to get 99 VIT. Depending on how many vit pyros your have it need not be every aptitude to S rank but each class up gives 1 extra pts (scroll) or 2 extra pts (tome) to a maximum of 56pts. With S rank VIT that will give 84 VIT without pyros. For more pyros you can avoid as much scroll/tome farming.

Part 3: List of teams to flee from

There is no reason to fight a team dedicated to delaying you. Use our dual DM to retreat and fight another team you can wipe in 10s. This list is intended to show which are the teams that are problematic. Please do suggest additions.

1.	Milkshake (Delay focus) – 4 reflect shaman with provoke
2.	Akatsuki Seal Team 1 (kill focus) – 3 paladins with shaman
3.	Nautilius’ N/S/E/W Gates (delay focus) – 4 paladins one tower
4.	Dragoncorps (kill focus) – Immortal dragon and 2 others
5.	Despair Wheel (kill focus) – Tough Paladin

c) Donation Guide

WARNING: The maximum bonus per donation is 3600s. DO NOT donate too much at one go and read this carefully first.

Important: The maximum donation is 3600. All materials are worth different amounts. Do not donate them all for a palty 3600. Donate 1 first. See how much its worth (e.g. 1100). Then take 1100/3600 = 3+ so donate 3 at a time

When donating do not donate the following as they are too valuable.
- kongo stone
- magic mech tree
- protection machine
- industrial spirit

After dedicated analysis by top Fiel researcher Kazemplor (Misfits in game), we have confirmed the optimal way to donate to stretch every one of your hard earned materials. Truly this was one of the biggest breakthroughs in Fiel research since 4 challengers.

Research time increases for successive research (seems to be +3600 per level)
1st = 25200s
2nd = 28800s
3rd = 32400s

The required time can be boosted to 200% with additional mats but once 200% is reached all donations are wasted. This is a terrible loss! To mitigate this, we encourage you to donate in blocks of 5k-10k and wait at least 5min for a refresh, you can donate to other research to pass the time.

1) If research is at 200% come back later
2) If research is at 150%-200% donate 5k and check back later
3) If research is <150% donate 10k and check back later
4) Repeat the above until you reach your cap of 0.16 (or other decimal bonus) which occurs around 70k-80k

This can drastically increase the inventory of pyro, weapons, accessories and armaments which make a big difference to your fellow Fiels. Lets work together on this.

d) Lucky7 buffs

Lucky7 can significantly increase dps if you have your hp with a 7 in the ones. E.g. xxx7 hp. This is great for range. Melee will need a heal skill because cata will dmg them slightly. This was researched by Aidan, a Fiel researcher.

CON amounts that provide a 7 in the single digit for HP

Paladin (Base HP 3103): 8, 19, 28, 37, 48, 57, 77, 86, 97
Blacksmith (Base HP 2549): 3, 14, 25, 36, 43, 54, 65, 76, 87, 94
Valkyrie (Base HP 2283): 3, 10, 17, 53, 60, 67, 74, 81, 88, 95
Fighter (Base HP 2549): Same as Blacksmith
Noble (Base HP 2217): 0, 10, 19, 28, 37, 47, 56, 65, 74, 83, 93

Dark Knight (Base HP 2061): 20, 21, 22, 53, 54, 55, 86, 87, 88
*Note that Dark Knight has a base HP very close to 2000, and each CON increases HP by just under 10 1/3. This is a reoccurring theme.
Rogue (Base HP 1840): 3, 15, 16, 28, 40, 41, 53, 65, 66, 78, 90, 91
Medic (Base HP 2083): 10, 11, 12, 34, 35, 36, 58, 59, 60, 82, 83, 84

Hunter (Base HP 1795): 7, 17, 27, 37, 46, 56, 66, 76, 85, 95
Challenger (Base HP 2549): Same as Blacksmith
Dragon Mage (Base HP 4877): 0, 7, 16, 23, 32, 48, 64, 73, 80, 89, 96

e) Crafting

This involves hunting down a bounty for a blueprint. Getting the mats required then crafting it at the blacksmith. The dps of such weapons can be the highest in the game. The reason for it being put all the way here in the postguide is that some of the bounties can be high level (up to L96).

Occasionally you'll get bonus dmg for your crafts with a +1 or a +2 that increases stats. You may need to craft quite a bit to get it.
