Starting Strategy for Difficult Difficulty:
1. Redeem All Starter Codes: Get the “Difficult Dark Lord” set (contact customer support if needed).
2. Obtain Yamagata Masakage + Red Reserve Set:Use code `new07866` to redeem.
3. Excellent Oda Horse Rider and Dark Lord Set Combination:Equip these items for the protagonist. This setup enables the "Piercing Charge" skill repeatedly by fulfilling the ABA condition (enemy attacks you, you attack first [A], enemy counters [B], and you counter again [A]). It deals a 5-tile piercing attack, costs 6 MP each time, and can inflict negative status effects.
-Recommended Hero A: Imagawa Yoshimoto– Dropped by "Normal Nobunaga 2.He has high defense and is excellent at holding down the frontline.
-Recommended Hero B: Sakuma Nobumori – Available for $10 or 3000 gems. His double attack ability provides high output, though he lacks growth potential and is not recommended unless purchased in a bundle.
-Recommended Hero C: Ariovistus – Available as a drop on the Nightmare Caesar route or for purchase. Compared to Sakuma, he has higher initial stats and strong synergies, making him valuable in the later stages.
4. Difficult Oda Arquebus Troop: If starting with Hannibal, give it to Mahabad for its powerful blinding effect across three tiles. If Mahabad isn’t available, assign it to any suitable hero.
