Tower of Dawn (March 2016 Edition): Discussion Thread

Hi, this is the first time I am doing a write up so there might be a mistake so please forgive me for any mistakes that I might make. Here is my strategy for clearing 110 and in response to this Barsark video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6D7VAcSYAc where I was listed as a suspected hacker.

Now Requirements: gil, jack, serendi, cc unit such as lena/ramboff/alfred, Yeka(atleast passive maxed and high lvled 2nd if you do not wish to have to roll for rng alot) , and a persona merc. You place your units in the order I have listed. My units had around 23~27k att, 54~65% def, 79~103k hp for these runs that I had to test out my strategy for tod 110. It may require a bit of rng luck so that you can land your ccs.

Turn 1: Use grace before anything else and move gil to the corner space above jack and 2 under the reaper on the right use 2nd to start building hellfire charges. Move Jack right between the 2 reapers and in line with the dragon. Serendi use 2nd to build up hellfire charges. Yeka moves to the left and uses sleep on the group of enemies and your cc units moves the left side as well and the slimes from the other side will gather 2 the left.

Turn 2: Now the slimes will knock jack into the spot in between the fences and all you have to do is merc persona swap him into the 2 fence spots and he is stuck.

Turn 3: Afterwards is just a matter of taking advantage of your rock units with cc/cc units with directional strat and then finishing off the last bit of a dragon who has been hellfired about 4-5 times(depending on you damage 2 mobs and other variables).

Now as I have said before part of this is a strategy post as well as a response so you can choose to skip this part if you want. I was notified by my guild member yLLo that I was mentioned as a hacker in one of Barsark's videos and decided to make this post because while you are entitled to your own opinions about how people beat tod I do not believe that you have the right go to publicly try to pass judgement upon other users like this. Now I understand that you have suspicions about the people clearing with the ridiculous clear times and I have some as well, but you should not have handle the situation as you did and publicly call someone out like that especially since your requirements to beat the dragon were 100% not true and purely based on your own speculations at the time for 1)" the dragon will attack you on turn 1" which is an untrue fact since you mention before and as I noticed as well there are safe corner spots where the slimes don't knock you into dragon attack or reaper attack. This is not helpful for the community at all since if people listen to what you said(which you do have some influence on the community) they stop trying to do hard stages like this months ToD because "people with op sets found it so hard so I can't do this as a ftp player". This strategy took me about a few hours of testing and an energy pot before I realized i could get it to work and it is because of these kind of people who take their time to do these kinda things that make it easier for the community to pass harder stages. So I don't want this kinda thing to become a negative impact to players who wish to try out their own strategies because "if somehow you end up clearing something before someone who has op sets your a hacker or suspected as one" or that "Barsark's judgement is the end all be all of what you can and cannont do in FWT". Because while you are playing a "numbers" game there are various solution to the same problem just like how 2+2 = 4 but 3+1 = 4 as well. Basically You tried to kill the dragon straight up and charge in with ghost steps sets, and I had to figure out some way to control the mobs with cc units and charge hellfire long enough so that I can kill the dragon with my damage. Now I really hope that I don't have to do another write up because I hate writing crap like this and it takes me forever to get my thoughts in order for this kind crap ~.~.

TD;LR: If you believe that I or anyone else is a hacker then please go head and report me to Nexon so that you either see me on a ban list or on ToD ranking once again, but don't go publicly defaming someone on the bases of your own opinions.
