Cervo - Morgana Troll, the Holy version!

Holy Land is a 3 normal quest series structured similar to the 6/7 star card series.  However it is much more difficult and needs proper preparing for level 2 and 3.


Level 1 is just 5 stages.  Stages 1, 2, and 4 have holy enemies to deal with.  Stage 3 has a long christmas candy to fight :P  Stage 5 is Cervo itself, doing a moderate amount of damage every turn.  Again, Level 1 is always that intro level with a minute chance for the boss to drop.


Level 2 is pretty tough for its position.  Here's the breakdown:


(Note: All damage I list is WITH A 50% HOLY DAMAGE REDUCER)
Stage 1: 5 unicorn CD1.  In total they hit for around 14000+.  You'll need to burst a couple of them down ASAP.
Stage 2: 4 princesses, CD2.  Nothing really special.
Stage 3: 2 baby holy dragons, CD3, 4541 damage total.  Again nothing really special.
Stage 4: 2 Christmas treats.  Treat them like bollas.
Stage 5: Saintess, CD2 5022 damage.
Stage 6: 2 unicorns, 2 princesses.  The princess are easier to kill IIRC.
Stage 7: 2 princesses, 2 baby holy dragons.  The dragons are easier to kill here as well.
Stage 8: 2 Christmas treats again.
Stage 9: 2 Hydra+, CD is either 1 or 2 (can't remember), 3000+ each.
Stage 10: Cervo,  CD1, 2879 damage.

The Christmas treats have a 100% drop rate, which is good and bad.  Good because they are enhancer cards for selling or exp.  Bad because it presents the whole "10 box problem" I kept running into when I was farming Morgana's Level 1 quest.  If you noticed, all of the other cards you face are 1 and 2 star cards, making them a fairly common drop, except for Hydra.  In my lone run, I did get 10 boxes by stage 9.


Level 3 is very tough.  Breakdown is as follows:
(Note: Damage listed is ACTUAL damage)
Stage 1: 4 Askafure; CD3, 6660 damage each.
Stage 2: 4 baby holy dragons; CD2, around 7890 damage each.
Stage 3: 5 unicorn; CD1, 5500 damage each (this one is rough)
Stage 4: 4 Christmas Candies; CD4, 9999 damage each.
Stage 5: Saintess; CD2, 14820 damage.  Has a lot of HP.
Stage 6: 4 baby holy dragons.
Stage 7: 4 more baby holy dragons
Stage 8: 4 Christmas Treats
Stage 9: 3 Hydra+ CD2, 12084 damage total each
Stage 10: Cervo, CD1, 8888 damage.

First Attempt: I got to stage 9 and got promptly stomped.  Stage 3 required luck too, as that's 27500 every turn.  The only reason I survived was due to Erinyes and Mobel buying me time, but that wasn't enough for the Hydras - they have way too much HP to burn down with my holy team (Mobel leader, Leonidas, Saintess, Ciguapa, Erinyes, and Ciguapa ally).

Second Attempt: Chose a Saintess++ instead of Ciguapa+ for an ally, and it paid off.  Thankfully Saintess is a dragon type so her HP was doubled (Ciguapa is also dragon, but halving all holy damage effectively doubles your HP against holy enemies).  With good uses of skills and heart management I was able to win the day and the boss card :)  Saving up Mobel's shield skill for the christmas treats rounds was key as one time I had three of them still alive when they attacked.  If you use it just when they have a CD1 it will effect two of their attacks!

Glad that series is over.
