I knew people would figure out something to do these encounters early, but I never imagined it would be summoning a level 40 unit with some valor points lol.
It freaking scales to the map level? That's legit nuts. I knew summon was pretty good but never thought it would be this good. I thought it was locked to the summers level. Damn
Honestly as much as there are people that says this is a Bad Exploit. [Internal Headcanon Lore.]Your Hiring Mercenaries. Not our Fault the Mercs need to be as strong as their occupiers to even have a Chance to be hired. 😂
Thanks for sharing this video, I took down 2 level 40 and 1 level 38 town. Then I went coliseum at Baumratte to do offline battle to top 1 to recruit Amalia, the Dreadnought at Level 40. After beating Amalia & team, still need another round to beat Amalia (Possessed). Equipments she had on are greatsword atk 25 Drakestone iceshield def 16, guard rate 40% & guard efficiency +50% Rudy pendant def 0 base Ap +2 Sapphire Pendant def 0, base PP +2 HP 97 Atk 86 Def 43 Mag Atk 6 Mag Def 14 Initiative 8 Accuracy 144 Evasion 9 Crit rate 1% Guard rate 65%
In case it wasn’t obvious this needs to be done on story difficulty. Any inconsistencies that you could be having when trying to replicate this are more than likely difficulty related
I had Alain, Ochlys(leader), Clive and Berenice(all of them level 17-20)... I took out the ALL the towers first, got loads of experience and then took out the enemy HO. I ended up having Alain who started at level 20 up to level 36... The others got into level 30s too. Depleted my revives, and attack and defense potions though.
Anyone know the Level Cap, also is there any way to increase stats after the Cap is reached? Similar to Dragon Quest 11 where after Level 99 you can Farm Seeds that give Permanent Stat Increases.
This is an update to my previous comment reply. I was actually able to clear this Liberation Mission on True Zenoiran, but I will say right now that I do believe that my method is inconsistent, since the first time I tried it, I actually killed the Boss enemy. Here is a description of what I did. The team I used was the following, consisting primarily of lv 9-10 units: Generic Hunter, Chloe, Ochlys, and Berenice. The temporary decoy team was led by a lv 30 Josef that I power leveled using miracle fruits, primarily to bait the Gravity one of the Sorceresses casts at the beginning. Afterwards, I had Josef withdraw to give me +1 valor points while I used a Light Feather on Ochlys to replicate the Hastened Call effect, while never placing any steel traps, as I needed those item uses. Approaching the boss was the same as in the video, but here is where I found the problem. Even with 2 Valor points, the boss in True Zenoiran DOES kill both of the Mercenary teams, requiring additional damage. I then decided to buy the two Magic Bombs from the Black Market, but didn't have it unlocked. For the record, at least in my game I had 4 Liberation Missions, 7 side quests, 4 main quests, All Cornia Map Quests, and 16 overworld quests cleared when the Black market unlocked. I am not sure if anything aside from the Liberation and side missions matter, but wanted to be as thorough as possible here. Here is where it gets inconsistent. I repeated the process, then tossed the two Magic Bombs BEFORE summoning the Mercenary teams. In the first attempt, the second mercenary wiped out the boss before I could get to it. In the second one, the boss survived and Mercenary survived, giving me a chance. Unlike the video though, the surviving Unit was the Sorceress. I THINK that the Sorceress had about 30-40 HP left. No way she had more than 50. Given that Ochlys was my main unit and I didn't want to risk having to deal with an Eagle Eye sniper, or lose the chance entirely, I decided to fight her. Her Tactics/Gambits that mattered were Quick Cast, Ice Coffin set to "Row with Most Opponents" and Magic Missile set to "Row with 2 Opponents." Given at this moment I didn't have any items that could "survive 1 lethal hit" I knew after some team repositioning that at least two units were going to get KOed. So I put the generic hunter, and Chloe into the front, and Ochlys and Berenice in the back, to bait out a Magic Missile. However, the Sorceress went with Ice coffin still, even though there was technically no row with the most enemies, as they were both equal. Berenice counterattacked with Following Slash, then I had Ochlys hit with Shield Smite to get the defense debuff, and finally Berenice landed a critical hit Killing Chain to finish the battle. I am not sure if the crit mattered, as it did roughly 54 damage, but there is a chance it did. At the same time, the optimal play would have been to have her Heavy Slash, due to it being higher potency, but that was my mistake. In the end, even with 2 units KOed, Generic Hunter and Chloe grew to lv 22, Berenice to lv 27, and Ochlys to lv 33 (rookie egg, etc), and got roughly 12K gold due to having 2 golden eggs on the party. As I said, this is likely inconsistent, and was not 100% optimized, but it IS possible.
It should be mention that with this method you can also unlock the Sigil Trial, Zenith lvl 38, completing it gives you 5x 10,000xp training tomes to cheese xp gain. You can use THE SAME method you used in this vid to cheese it! Over and Over again LOL
I didn't realize you were supposed to set this on Story difficulty and stayed on Expert, I spammed Ash and had my summoned units fight the command post 3 times, and the third time ended up killing them for me lol
Actually I do feel that it is theoretically possible even in True Zenoiran, but with a few different steps. First of all, summon your gryphon unit and the decoy unit, but do NOT use the last valor point for the gryphon speed boost. Put up the 2 steel traps (2/5 item limit), then actually use a light feather(the speed boosting feather. 3/5 item limit), to replicate the speed boost from the valor skill. Then when you fly into the boss, use the last valor point to summon the mercenaries, and let them damage the boss. Then when its weak enough, use the Wind Faerie's Charm and the Liquid Fortune to move in for the kill (5/5 item limit) And given he said the steel traps were not necessary, you might even be able to end with 3/5 items used. Unless the units are strong enough to kill mercenaries too early in True Zenoiran.
@@GloriousGEO my levels are around 28-30 with the initial cheese team, i cant beat these units standard no matter what formation i try, id love to see how you beat these, as any attempt i make they wreck me.
I tried doing it and the boss killed the sellsword unit, they didn’t do enough damage to the boss, so I summoned another one and they killed the boss. I didn’t feel like retrying, but I was able to go get that end game spear, so at least that was worth it!
Feels already nerfed. The summoned level 40 unit team doesn't kill any of them now and dies. You can summon a second level 40 unit to beat the encounter, but you miss out on all that free exp.
The only enemy who can outdodge a damned griffin are the foxes.....those things are like untouchable at night without bows or witches and even then you arent winning cuz they also have the dps output to ruin the day of the only 2 things to counter it lol
@GloriousGEO I'm playing the game mostly how it was intended they gave me a run for my money at level 30 range lol. Tho those damned bears I still don't understand them I can't figure out how to harm them since they shrug off magic and heal like zerkers.
Edit: I also found that using another "ash" allows you to use Alain's skill as well for an even further XP bonus for those who want to risk the extra resource. This is amazing! Unfortunately, when I set my difficulty to story mode my summons one shots the boss *cries* so I had to set to Tactical to even get a chance at gaining exp LOL
OMFG, my best units are 20 now but I'll absolutely be abusing this for PvP purposes. Your other one-shot video got me quite a few wins last night, but I had to swap out Josef since Paladins were excluded from teams and forgot to set Alain's tactics correctly to have the back row act again, so I dun goofed. Today though, it's fucking on! I would add that you can buy a second rookie egg pretty early into Drakenguard, so anyone jumping in from the demo's end should probably spend at least a little time pushing for that. To keep it evened out over the 3 units you likely wanted to level (not the sellsword, they're mid) you can throw Chloe's charm on the odd person out for at least 30% boost. In fact, why not use the hallowed ash x3 to pop out Alain for a Royal Order on your gryphon squad before they leave the home base? Since they're going to get the killing blow, they can travel over the towers with the buff in tow and absolutely gobble up that delicious exp!
@@GloriousGEO Just used this tactic all last night to power level at the training grounds right next to where the spear is. At 33 it was extremely tough, but the summon warriors still worked for the final base. Best option is to turtle on your main base with mage support behind it to flip your RNG and let them bounce off before getting first strikes and popping the exp item before killing them all. It shot them all up to nearly 40 by the time I was ready to advance. GL!
This just trivializes the game imho, if its your first playthrough, id highly recommend just playing it normally for max experience, then if you want to replay the game, you can abuse this shit
I'm doing this to beat the final boss at the start of the game. Alternatively, you can just do this for one team and use your normal team for the story.
What’s the point tho? If u want a challenge play expert else do casual. Grinding levels in a game like this is just removes the purpose of the rest of the game altogether. But to each their own I guess

I don't know why they did this lmao
@@GloriousGEOBetter to take advantage of it now cause I can see them nerfing this skill to have them scale to YOUR level instead of the Maps.
You can press the Y button to make waypoints that your units follow when setting the path

😂 thanks for this. Replicated the vid on expert then got stuck on Sorm. Going to the setting now
[face palm] I wasted a bunch of additional items and did it on Expert

Similar to Dragon Quest 11 where after Level 99 you can Farm Seeds that give Permanent Stat Increases.
50. No way to break it as far as i can tell
Do you know how to get a supply of infinite mirrors? Is there perhaps an endgame shop that sells them?
You buy them with honors in angel region.
That or from the black market too
Thinking about trying this exploit, any idea when it might get patched out? Because I was planning to get the game around Easter.
Not anytime soon lol
I’m wondering why my sellsword one shots the boss and I’m thinking it’s cause I’m using Bernice? Probably have to be a mercenary sellsword then

Thanks, bud
If the adds are dealing the damagae how does your unit get the xp?
You only get XP by killing the enemy. Dealing damage gives no xp.
How many times did you have to try? My summons get one shot, and the second ones just kill the boss.
First try for me
They just keep one shooting him
@@dettagg1223 hmm try turning the diffuculty up or down. See if that helps

how to liberate the next town? the summon trick seem to no longer work since they do 0 damage

Cant figure out what i did wrong, maybe i waited too late in game to do this? The summon just one shots the boss no matter what
Possibly what lvl are you?
It's probably your game difficulty.
how did you liberate the adjacent town? im having a rough go of it... might try magic bombs to see what they do.
So I beat the cavalry lvl 40 quest first thats east of the town using my leveled up characters with no cheese. Then I did the town one.
