- I'm back! My Ryujinx emulator was crashing for a while, but it miraculously recovered after the recent update and now runs a lot better than before, without weird shades in the background :) Still not perfectly smooth but I will take this outcome.
The usual LTC clear of Chapter 5 takes 2-3 turns, but it leaves a lot of exp on the table and in particular does not bother with the left side at all. This clear shows that despite the high enemy density, one can ROUT this map relatively fast as well. Sigurd-Louis well deserves the MVP, as he baits Nelucce to move down and in this process one-rounds 4 bulky cavs with Sigurd's ridersbane. Note that while those cavs do 0 damage to him when he has DEF tonic, they nonetheless suicide thanks to Nelucce's chain attack (they also have chain flag, which is why they don't go for Vander and Framme in EP3). The top-left cav needs to move straight down in EP2 to be able to reach Louis in EP3, so we spent two time crystals to manipulate that.
Although in the video Louis dodges Nelucce's attack in EP2 and a chain attack in EP3, he is in fact guaranteed to survive, so long as he does not miss the two sword fighters. This is thanks to the hand axe guy moving above Nelucce in EP2, instead of to his left (can be manipulated). This way, in EP3 Nelucce moves first and occupies the only position from which the hand axe guy can attack Louis, thus ensuring that Louis only receives one chain attack damage from each subsequent enemy.
The other hero of this clear is Clanne. In EP4, normally Nelucce would find Etie a juicier target than Clanne, but the AI does not consider chain guard and thus thinks that he can kill Clanne. This enables Clanne to deal big damage to Nelucce both in EP4 and PP5, benefiting from Alear's personal and Framme's spur attack. Note that Clanne enters the map with lvl3 and gains another level before facing Nelucce. The MAG/SPD/DEF procs at lvl4 are very important. Offensively, the SPD proc enables him to use a Spd+1 bond ring and still double Nelucce. Thus he can get +2MAG from the Azelle ring and deal more damage. Defensively, the DEF proc enables Clanne to exactly survive Nelucce at 1HP when he's next to Alear. Since this clear has one or two spare actions in the last turn, it's possible that a weaker Clanne with Anna ring could still work. But in that case we would not be able to afford any misses.
Used Rings: Marth-Alear, Sigurd-Louis, Celica-Celine, Alfonse-Framme, Sharena-Etie, Azelle-Clanne, Merric-Vander (needed for double and survival), Ogma-Chloe (any +2str ring), Ogma-Alfred (any +2 str ring), Ayra Boucheron (any +1str ring).
Tonics: Celine HP/MAG, needed for survival and killing the thief via warp ragnarok (with Chapter 4 routed in 4 turns, Celine cannot reach Celica bond 3 and get resonance at the beginning). Louis DEX/LCK/DEF, needed for better hit rates and guaranteed survival.
The DEF tonic on Louis could be saved if he dodges Nelucce or 1 of 5 chain attacks in EP2. With one of these dodges, Louis would be at least 8HP, and the monk who moves last in EP2 would not see a kill on him with two chain attacks. This way Louis would heal to 23HP before EP3, and barely survive Nelucce (9dmg) + sword fighter (3dmg) + cav*3 (3*3 dmg). Note that the cavs in EP3 would only have chain attack damage on Louis due to his timely DEF proc (Louis needs at least 2 kills in Chapter 4).
