Gladius/Ursula
From SDA Knowledge Base
Everything from here on is based on a playthrough of Ursula's story
- When Ursula and Urlan level up for the first time, unlock Combo Attack 2. This will make them very powerful for much of Nordagh.
- Recruiting Jeanne the Gungnir in Fliuch is recommended as your school's first recruit.
- As soon as Ursula gets to level 3, go to Vargen and complete the Trial of the Elders league. The last battle in this league will be much easier than if it was done at a later level. This will unlock Iaar the Yeti. He's very powerful at this point since he's the only heavy unit you can recruit in Nordagh.
- Kingdom Open in Orin's Keep must be completed in order to complete enough leagues in Roanor.
- It is recommended (or maybe even necessary) to complete Circle of Elites Qualifier in Roanor, as it opens up the Circle of Elites Tier 1 leagues in other towns.
Current Battle/League Route:
- This is basically a rough draft. Some aspects, especially which units to choose for each battle, definitely need more work.
Fliuch
- Arena Certification
- Final Exam (Urlan and Ursula)
Recruit Jeanne
- League of Redemption
- Atonement 1 (Urlan, Ursula, and Jeanne)
- Atonement 3 (Urlan and Jeanne)
- Contest of the Free Peoples
- Vandal Battle (Urlan, Ursula, and Jeanne)
- Freedom Fight 1 (Urlan, Ursula, and Jeanne)
- King of the Hill (Urlan, Ursula, and Jeanne)
Visit The Stopover and leave after talking (you can't afford much yet)
Roanor
- Circle of Elites Qualifier
- Points Battle (Urlan and Jeanne)
- King of the Hill (Urlan and Ursula)
- Basic Battle (Urlan and Ursula)
Vargen
- Ahead of the Pack
- Series (Urlan, Ursula, Jeanne)
- Milehigh Circuit
- Thin Air 3 (Urlan, Ursula, Jeanne)
- Vandal Battle (Urlan, Ursula, Jeanne) Kill opponents, ignore barrels
- Points Battle (Ursula and Jeanne)
This seems like a pretty logical route to take, but it would be excellent if Trial of the Elders in Vargen could be done without doing any unnecessary battles, but you need all your gladiators at level 3 in order to complete it, and Ursula and Jeanne are only level 2 at this point. So some extra battles may have to be done, or a different route must be taken.
Some things that need to be done:
- A route of battles and leagues.
- An analysis of which classes can unlock Awareness and at what level the AI unlocks it.
- A route that incorporates buying the best equipment from shops. (Not all shops in a region contain the best equipment)
- Specific strategies for some of the more complex/unpredictable battles (Ex: Orus's tournament, battles with multiple teams, Berzerkers, etc.)
- More information on which units are best for speedrunning.
- Data on specific attacks and how much damage they do, along with how it compares to specific classes stats.
