I always leave them snipers cause I like the sprite more >.>
Also a good reason!
Made it back to Grans, though I took a few losses in the process. First was AI Jaro. He decided charging into a Necromancer by himself was a good idea, then decided his ~20 HP was sufficient to ignore the Necromancer and charge the boss. This is pretty much the reason I decided not to count AI deaths <_<. Non-AI Jaro joins the force (replacing Chester) as the only character with a defeat recorded, and Higins hits the bench in anticipation of Frayja.
Unfortunately, I end up playing the Moun battle poorly. First, I leave an open pathway for an archer to attack Taya. She's made of paper mache, and is overkilled by a single attack. I did the same for Tyrin, but luckily he can take a damn hit. Rick could also take a damn hit... But not two. I overestimated his durability, the Golems had no problems showing me the error of my ways. The chess battle I could accept losing two characters to, but this one? Blarg. Gyan replaced Rick, Higins went back in for Taya. The Cameela battle battle goes much more smoothly, without anyone coming close to death. Cameela herself went down without doing a single physical attack, just some non-threatening blaze 3s. My next death is the Nazca ship. Prism flowers took it out, it must not have had much HP. RIP Nazca ship, thanks for the cannon.
I find Sheela, and replace Higins with her. Gonna want to avoid having my #12 character take up much EXP (they're going to be replaced by one of the whopping five characters I get after the next battle. Probably not underleveled Randolf or Eric, though.), so I figure I can at least use Sheela to heal/boost, and get a couple levels in case I need a back-up later. I might actually use Karna in the Prism flower battle, to get her a bunch of easy kills and use her MP on boosting as well. Might even replace Frayja with her, if she levels enough to get aura or boost 2. Of course, I shouldn't be looking past the next battle. Battle #35 always been one of the toughest battles for me, and it was the one that started the inevitable end of my Super playthrough in this style. I'm going to take the same approach I did in the chess battle, play lame and let them come to me. Going to give the running ring to Tyrin once I get to the desert area, and try to assassinate the Bow Rider before the golems can be a problem.
