A Challenger Approaches...

I've been having a relatively easy time recently, but starting Tuesday morning, I will have the opportunity to overcame an even greater challenge...

Not just tackling Navarre Abyssal, not just a solo... a true solo. With Kagero.

"Like hell you could," I hear you say, but believe me, I've done some of the math, and it adds up.

Don't believe me? Then let's do it.

Here is the ideal build I've developed:

Since the map is filled solely with infantry, I found this to be optimal. However, even with this, three conditions must be met for the solo to go through.

1. I must outspeed every enemy, with the sole exception of the Smoke Dagger Ninja, whom should be defeated using Aether. (Edit: looking around at the map, it may be the case that the Staff will hit me with Panic first, I defeat her, and then move on to the Rogue Dagger Thief with Aether Charged. While not optimal, this may have to do).

2. All enemies, with possible exception of the Manakete, must defeated in a single round. The Manakete will be tricky.

3. The enemy must follow a certain movement pattern. Otherwise, I'm done for. Specifically Navarre and the Manakete must move west during the second turn when combat starts.

What about damage?

I'm calculating as if the worse case scenario happens: round up regarding the enemies defense when Aether Triggers, and round down when I calculate my Poison Dagger damage.

Assuming Atk/spd Solo is active at all times (like it should be), my effective Atk is roughly 59. 59 times 1.5 equates to roughly 88.5, rounded down to 88. The Smoke Dagger Thief has 74 HP and 16 Def. 16 is halved into 8. Meaning effectively 82 physical bulk. Easy.

The manakete is the biggest worry, however. Having 87 HP, 37 Def, and Shield Pulse Sacred Cowl, they won't go down easily. 88 minus 37 is 51, but reducing by 30% is roughly 35.7, rounded up to 36, minus 5 is 31. Unless Aether connects, two attacks taking into one Shield Pulse Sacred Cowl won't finish it. This is why I said perhaps not this one in regards to a ORKO.

What about Navarre? His Spd is ridiculous, adding up to 48 without any buffs. However, Kagero only has base 41 with Atk/Spd +2 as the Sacred Seal. However, if both Atk/Spd Solo and Even Spd Wave are active, that's an additional 12 Spd, for a grand total of 53. Just enough to get the double. While I normally would worry about the Axe Fighter with Drive Spd, he is my first target, so I have no worries.

Will all go as planned, however? Idk. We'll have to wait and see. This challenge I won't soon back down from.
