 Hey everyone, welcome back for more exo-series content. So in today's video, we're going to talk about my journey from episode 1-7 of chapter 12 and how I cleared episode 7. I want to start off, my initial assessment of this chapter 12 is it's not that bad except for a few stages in the game. Mainly episode 7 and actually I've wet the other already episode 7 but I'll leave that for another video. You just have to prepare for I think 2 episodes. So with this one from episode 1 up to 6, I pretty much did a autoplay using these characters. Before I settled on the final heroes for episode 7, I had to use some other heroes which I'll discuss later. So anyway, for chapter 12, I think you should prepare these things. So prepare heroes that can break machine and nature stones because they are the most dominant garden stones that are in this chapter. Light is also there but if you don't have any good light heroes, I think Schmidt is capable of breaking garden stones. So the other one is also bring damage over time units. The ones that I brought were Dorca and Tantalok and also elemental enhancement helps a lot as well if you have them. But if you don't have them, you can just bring damage over time units. So again, this is just my opinion and the last part is signature force makes a difference but it's not really required. Signature force just makes your progress even faster. So that's just it. But if you try to clear episode 7 without signature force, it's doable but it would take more time. I think I cleared episode 7 in about 14 minutes with signature force but I think without signature force, you'll take around plus 10 minutes so that. So just be prepared for a long game. So initially I started chapter 12 with a different team composition than what I have in this video. So originally I had Bathory in my team and I had Uloom in my team. Again, for the purpose of number one Bathory has a good burst AoE and she also has tranquil which helps Uloom break garden stones and gives rare additional damage. So that was the concept initially. But I had a problem in terms of Dorca's survivability because even though sometimes Dorca gets saved by tranquil but after that she doesn't recover well that much. So I'll discuss later the final team position that I had after we run through some of the details in this video. So anyway, try to bring a lot of AoE teams as much as possible. One possibility that you can also bring I think is Annie not just for AoE but also as to give Dorca a... I think she gives him kind of immunity to damage and also bumps Dorca's speed as well. Another thing, it's not really a must that you bring Garth. Schmidt is okay already for breaking light garden stones. So as far as the main team that I used for episode 7 so the stars of this team is mainly Dorca and Garth because number one, Dorca gives the team HP regeneration and she gives the team mana. And she is the main breaker of garden stones for machine because of her damage over time in AoE. And secondly, why I chose to bring Garth is because Garth brings protection. She is the bodyguard of Dorca in terms of shared health. So if I compare it to Bathory, I would prefer the shared health of Garth because she absorbs a lot of damage. That's it for Dorca. So in any case, Dorca can just regain that health through healing over time. So Garth also brings to the team increased defense and increased health because of her passive. So again, survivability is the key and Garth plays a big role. Although Garth has a bigger damage because of signature force but again, it's not really required for you to clear the stage. The main requirement for you to clear the stage is survive. Survive, Dorca should survive, Garth should survive and more or less almost all the team should survive. So the next hero that we're going to discuss is Tantalor. So he's the third most important hero here because he helps in breaking green garden stones because of his damage over time. He also gives increased attack and increased block for his S1 and he gives decreased attack to the enemy for his S2 and with his newly improved kit, I think he also gives immunity to the team one time. So Tantalor here is pretty much a support in terms of to Dorca and to Garth but he plays an important role in breaking garden stones. The fourth member of the team is Rera. So Rera here is mainly for AOE damage. AOE damage and I try to elementally enhance her to break three garden stones and it's good even if you can break only two, it's not a problem but Rera's role here is mainly for mostly for damage for clearing up the mobs for additionally breaking garden stones because based on my experience majority of the garden stones are still green. If I may say it's 50% green, 30% or 40% machine then light would be the remaining 10% to 20%. So as I've said again, Rera is supplementary to breaking garden stones. I think, I'm not sure but in one of the gameplays that I had even if Rera died as long as you have Tantalor you can still clear pretty much the stage. So the last and the default, he's the default here you can't change him but Schmidt helps you as well in breaking garden stones for light. Aside from Garth being one of your main characters Schmidt can help you here. Again, it took me a while to finish chapter 12 episode 7 because I had to get through a couple of comps in order to find the right synergy for this stage. So more or less for me, for my progression this really worked for me. If you can see now we're in the stage of Kailak Kailak is a bit tanky. He's a bit annoying and he has kind of a high damage AOE I think he has one skill here. So that is why I preferred Garth over Bathory for this one because I think Garth when for example Dorka gets hit not so much AOEs, not so much HP taken off. So more or less that is why this stage was a bit okay and again, the signature force did help a lot in terms of clearing this one because there's more damage actually being brought to Kailak. So if you can see here I think Herrera is already dead Again, even if you lose Herrera she's actually the fourth most important hero here. So you just have to maintain Garth, Dorka and Tantaloo and you can still pull this off. So after actually you clear this one will try to, there's a surprise at the end because there's one annoying part of the chapters since chapter 11 to 12 that will be taken out of the game. So I'll tell you later before we end this video. So we're actually clearing this one. So that's it. So Kailak's been defeated by Garth. So let's try to check out the cut scenes in the video. So well, as a parting statement after you clear episode 7 if you can remember Schmidt is a default Schmidt would be taken out of your lineup during episode 8 I think onwards. So you don't have to worry about Schmidt anymore once you clear chapter 7. So anyway, so this is just the final video at the end of chapter 7. I'll be posting another video once I clear episode 12 and 13. So I hope this video helped you guys. I hope that you could try to tweak your team towards clearing episode 7 of chapter 12. This has been a few hours of testing. So well, I hope this has helped you and please put your comments below and please do subscribe to my channel because this helps me a lot. So warden out.
