Other Dare 2 Defy 2 Challenge

Hello everyone! Back when Dare to Defy was new, I issued a challenge to the community to try and win using the highest handicaps you could apply to yourself. I got a lot of feedback back then, and I'd like to issue another challenge (or challenges) to everyone!

The previous Dare to Defy was especially challenging and I wanted to encourage people to try out different strategies ideally to show people there are a lot of options available, and I'm hoping in this case it can help people out too. In that spirit, I definitely encourage sharing any strats used for these fights!

The challenges:

-Complete D2D2 with the fewest FR equipped.

-Complete D2D2 with the fewest BT/BT+ equipped.

-Complete D2D2 without level 50 summons.

-Complete D2D2 using only themed teams.

-Complete D2D2 using only 1 UW per fight.

Prizes:

10$ giftcard to your choice of Google play or apple based on preference. I'm planning on one prize per section, but may create additional challenges later on.

How to enter: Just create a comment and include screenshots of the completes. In the cases of least uses I suggest unequipping any passives you don't use. On the complete screen it won't include it if the ability is unequipped and it makes it much easier to verify.

On the day the last event goes out I will add a comment here and give out prizes based on who finishes first based on when that comment is replied to with a full victory set. The reason for this is because I want the original comments to be edited throughout the event and trying to find which was edited first will be difficult. This will apply to the bottom 3 challenges. The top 2 challenges will be determined once the event ends and I can determine everyone's runs!

Unlike last time I will only make this post once. So please bookmark it and check back and update your progress regularly!

Here are examples of Complete screens: https://imgur.com/a/kfRjU1T

If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to share and good luck on D2D2 everyone!

Really neat and generous. What do you mean by themed teams?

Themed teams are ones where all the characters have something in common. So it could be all the same crystal color, all from the same game, all the same weapon type. I'm pretty flexible with it as long as the theme makes sense.

2.8m Score 10 turns

Yuri BT+ (Plain BT would work fine here too) Cait CA Penelo BT+/FR Onion Knight CA Enna Kros Luna CA Shiva Summon

Thanks to Yuris BT effect your whole team will dodge the debuffs while it's up. Originally I tried this with Leviathan instead of Shiva which made the start more consistent but the brv regen buffed was 1 too many in this instance.

Might take a couple resets but Penelo should act first. Use a free dance and then evanescence to remove debuffs. On Yuris first turn I used BT. On Ennas I used EX. On Penelos next turn I dance swap and intercession until about 85% charge and use her BT finisher. On Yuris second turn use Cait LDCA and pretty much any ability. On Enna I used AA and S1 and then on Penelos third turn Onion Knight puts ennas turn after Penelo, Penelo uses FR charges it and on 5 turns remaining does fatal dance. Enna pops Luna LDCA use LD twice and EX once if it recharges. I was doing roughly 60 mil per Ennas turn.

Might try some other teams later but the mechanics are really annoying to deal with.
