Preparations for Creature Campaign

[bethany81707]

I've done several playthroughs of Sacred Stones's story (including an All-Girls challenge), but I have yet to attempt the postgame areas. Is there any way I should be going through the story mode to adequately prepare for Creature, or should a regular playthrough do the job?

Creature Campaign is pretty lenient. All the shops are still open, secret shops reopen with stat boosters including body rings. If you arena abused throughout the game you may have as much as 500000 Gold to splurge. The money you get from chests in tower of valni/lagdou ruins can pay for the array of basic iron weapons to cheaply blow through the dungeons. A level 20/1 unit can solo the tower of valni which may speed up the process compared to fielding an army of units that you must move through each player phase. Give them a healer as well, and rennac if you want to open the chests. Lagdou will give you much more trouble.

The best way to trivialize CC is to make everybody into a bishop that has the option. Slayer makes your basic Lightning tome into an S rank legendary weapon with 1-2 range. One of Moulder, Natasha, or Artur can beat the hardest level of Lagdou on their own when backed up by a healer. The enemies there are strong, but they wait for you to get in their attack range.

Monsters are pretty weak, even the stronger ones for the most part. Valni can be completed after the route split ends or something, so a ~20/10 team should sweep it very easily.

A couple of the latter Lagdou maps are a bit tough, mostly due to Stone/Shadowshot Gorgons IIRC. The last one is nothing but Draco Zombies, which can 2HKO everyone and are durable, so bring some dragon-slaying weapons and take out no more than 3 at a time.
