Public WIP lvl 1 Galdera route - Cyrus ch1 to Esme

EDIT: Reevaluating Cyrus vs Prim sorc as speed is such a huge factor and may be worth getting Prim as Sorc so I could toggle on/off viper for speed for random battles. Also reevaluating JP route as we dont get divines in time so may need to re-order things and when we get Hang Tough and such on characters. Currently, reconsidering Mattias and Friendship badge before Dreisang for extra JP, but we would need bracelets if so. That said, Heathcote's dagger is faster and easier to input than the wind bow, which is also a harder battle. But we do want a dagger user for p2 if possible for safety.

These are only partial notes from ch1 Cyrus start through Dreisang, Mattias, and Esme. I will hopefully update this one day with a full route. Check my Youtube channel for related videos. I recommend the No EXP mod and the Therion 100% steals mod for his story chapter items if you wanna try this challenge.

Mods: Pastebin prevents me from posting the link but my level 1 esme vid has a link to the mods.

Note: I selected Cyrus sorc over Prim since he has more elem atk and SP gain from nuts, making a lot of fights more convenient, plus Scrut is more useful than Allure. It's possible he's still slower due to Study Foe/etc, but I also think they're probably close enough that both are pretty comparable. Also, Dreisang is done first for Percipience JP and Hang Tough since Mattias/Cultists damage is actually rather high to survive at lv1, even with bracelets. Plus having a Dancer free for P2 is nice if I can put Prim there.

t9:
Therion: Dagger x3
Alfyn: Last Stand x4
Merch1: Collect x3
Merch2: HHV x3
Bonuses/tips:
- if Dreisang's random spell from unbreak attacks his own weakness, then he'll have 3 less shields, so two Rain of Arrows will do 6 guaranteed, and Cyrus or Tressa can use Bow to break the remaining, and the other can DBP to the last merchant on the final turn for HHV x4 to save a Pom L
- if you get bonus Rain of Arrows or extra PDef down and can Holy Light in place of Armor Corrosive, you can reduce the poms or with even DBP
- if Cyrus can x4 on the third turn, you can skip the last Sword attacks with Therion. Free turns can throw an item or Therion steal, etc
- BE AWARE of your cursor. Ex Donate BP skips yourself but Pom L/Jams do not when using an item.

Mattias (97,686 HP) example script:
T1:
Tressa/Therion: HHM x1/Olive
Ophilia: Reflective Veil self or anyone damaged
Cyrus: Defend/Olive
T2:
Cyrus: Glacies
Ophilia: Reflective Veil self/Pom M or Pom L

Therion: AC
Tressa: DBP Therion/Peacock Cyrus
T6:
Therion: HHV x4
Cyrus: Ignis x4/L stone
Tressa: L Stone
Ophilia: M or L Stone
Tips:
- Therion MUST Armor Corrosive T2, if a merchant is KOed they need to be Pom'd by anyone
- this is a sample script as you'll need to flex depending on T1 as he may KO someone. Use Olive/Poms to restore and get back if needed and aim to always break on T2. Olive/grape puts Cyrus/Therion in Hang Tough range to survive always, while Tressa must be full healed. Ophilia will be KOed by most attacks so hope that he does not target her.
- this battle takes 3 sets of HH Vets x4, which leaves him with ~21,000 HP after Reflect (1275) and initial Glacies damage (1020 total through 3 shields) then either 4 L Stone or some combination of Sorc spells. Peacock Ignis x4 while broken does ~9k. Retry the fight as needed until you win.
