Re: [DMM] 鎧姫 - Armor Princess
So it's the best to use that suicidal attack when the unit is in the best condition (full HP) because even if we failed there're still chances for her to survive the enemy counter attack in the next turn.
Also is it the only way to get the high rarity crates (golden, silver, bronze, etc.) by using this suicidal attack? Because IIRC I always got those dulled-yellowish (wooden?) crates only from the normal attack.
If so I think it's a bit too much of high risk high return.
afaik using the attack has only 2 possible outcome..
-success : she OHKOs the target and loses 30% hp
-fail : she goes down to 1hp and is removed from the battle
So she will not get counter-attacked at all.
Using extra resources while crafting princessess you can still score a 4☆ princess if you are lucky enough while using the most basic core (the brown one).
(crafted 24 princesses during the beta period, 16 with minimal costs this got me 2x3☆ 5x2☆ 9x1☆, 3 with MAX extra stuff 2x3☆ 1x2☆, 5 with random amounts of extra 1x4☆ 1x3☆ 2x☆ 1x1☆.. so yeah.. no real need to go for the 4☆ tokens, but they are a sure-fire way to get 4☆ for those who don't feel lucky.)
The "suicidal attack" is not as suicidal as one might think imho (think of it as "investment" for chance of better loot.. cause when you use it you will need to repair the girl that used it anyways, so use it on things that you can't get otherwise or if you feel lucky), and yeah I didn't get any high tier crates from normal attacks.
also tip to those who don't like the repair costs : the first map (1/1) had small forest, if you attack trees they have a chance of healing your girl, so you can essentially substitute the repair cost by going into battle there and killing trees to heal up. (note: yes all debris/building also has a chance of healing the girl that destroys it, so you can even "recharge" the health of the girls mid-battle while doing maniacal suicide special attack spamming..)
(sidenote: I didn't find any way to get around recharge costs so if anyone has a tactic/trick to deal with that, please do share the info)
