@Yonatan-jv8mv Nice! Well done. Happy to help.

@@CoGangVaoCap3 nice!

@ryouibarai3017 bond level does slightly affect stats, although they are not exactly game changing.

@@----672 lol

@@PhucTran-vc1ym To my knowledge, monsters stop appearing if you do not kill the ones spawns on the right side after the second spawn-in. This strategy forces all your units to attack the boss instead of the enemies spawn on the right side, preventing more to spawn in.

@@YC-lj3nc Nice! Glad this video helps

@pxych2040 if you have hina dress meta, use her she is incredible here

​@@Yamichanpc is it necessary to use double tanks in this boss fight if my account is still lvl 35?

@pxych2040 In the strat I used here that I stole from YonasCY, I don't think 2 tanks are truly needed. I you are using Dress Hina, I think you should be able to use just 1 tank, have potent healer 1 healer (like Kokona) to heal the tank off. Your back line should massively buff dress hina Crit damage, and then just go to town against the boss after buffing her at the beginning of the battle. At least that is how I have seen it at a lower level with dress hina

@pxych2040 czcams.com/video/qfv_DJDHrOM/video.htmlsi=_hF727xdvWORQUYc This is a video of someone beat the fight at level 27. They did it without using a healer (although I suspect their units are actually have high level skill). They used shun to give high initial cost boost, then insta buff D. Hina at 10 cost using Ako and Himari.

Ok update: From what I could tell all their students are at 3 stars, except Hina who have 5. It is unknown if D. Hina have UE40 or UE50. Both their Ako and Himari's EX is only at level one, so my assumption regarding that is wrong. Shun's initial cost buff does seem to be at max level tho. Edit: Hina have UE50 due to her terrain advantage at max. Her EX level I think is at 4.

@laycarrol6467 no please not my thicc waifu you can't hate her

Yuuka is actually useful when using this strat. I tried replacing her, and everything went to sh*t lol.

@fwa8590 Yuuka is actually extremely useful in both early game and late game. I am still actively using her now at max level for various event challenge stages and tactical challenge.

@@Yamichanpc i kwon i still using her as my main team but in this battle she makes me angry because my tactic always fail because she always take serina healing😅( i dont hate the 100kg thichh waifu)

@@MisbahFikri-qq8tq you're welcome

@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans they stop spawning as long as the ones on the right from the second spawn-in are not killed, to my knowledge.

Got to 39, replaced Serika with Mutsuki(Level 3 EX skill) and I did it! Thanks for the strat lol

@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans you are welcome. Credit of the strat go to YonasCY, not me

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@YamichanpcI’ll be sure to thank them as well then, still, I appreciate your fast replies

R.I.P. my life saving Pyroxene, fellas.

@True_Dusk Sorry to hear. I don't really recommend burning your pyroxenes unless you have a banner you really want. Aside from that just naturally play the game and f2p grind is most cost effective.

@@Lusc1ntgacha hard man. Fair enough

@DaZuryx I don't know. Hanae is one of, if not is the best single target healer in the game when it come to the amount of hp heal. The best replacement I can think of is kokona, who have low sp cost and is also quite a potent single target healer, with the benefit of mass decrease of sp cost for other units once in a while, which is very good for rotation.

@@yoggy5224 Someone have beaten the boss fight at level 27 with Hina (dress), so fucking hell indeed.

I didn't think op would reply lol. I used your video as a guide, along with other level 35+ clears, and finally managed to beat Hieronymus after 3 hours at level 37. Thanks for that!

@yoggy5224 no problem. Although the original strat was by YonasCY, not by me, so I wouldn't call it a guide.

Nice! Well done

You're welcome

Nicely done!

Nice! The strat is originally by YonasCY, not by me

Np

The original strat was by YonasCY, not by me, this wasn't meant to be a guide either, but glad I could help

You will win the fight don't worry. Level grinding at 23 is not bad.

If you do it at lv 34, kudos to you, thats not skill issue, the fight is just hard

Awesome!

nose ingles pero gracias

You're welcome

Getting those gacha in, eh. Also strat is by YonasCY, not by me, this is just my attempt

@@Yamichanpc Oh, but Thx too you too bro, bc your video is on the top when i search this thing

@@itzfraustxd4723 happy to help

If the other student is an explosive dealer with low cost burst damage EX skill, at sufficient level and decent attack equipment tier, then yea.

The original strat is by YonasCY. I just upload my attempt at it.

No problem. Credit for the strat go to YonasCY

I would say yes for Serika since her sub skill increases her attack speed by quite a bit. If you have her at much higher level, or attack equipment at higher tier, maybe? And I don't think Tsubaki need to be 3 stars since I have her at 2 stars in the video

Glad I could help

No problem

Damn. Yea, having 2 healers was critical for me to keep Tsubaki alive. Losing any other students is also a killer since it decreases your cost recovery.

@@Yamichanpc is there anymore boss where we have to use our own students to fight?

@Anonymous-fm5wm yea, Saint Barbara in volume 3 chapter 4, as well as several fights in volume F. Based on my experience, those fights are not hard if you are strong enough to beat Hieronymus here. The only exception will be Kuroko (spoiler, i.e., Shiroko Terror), but for her fight you can recruit units from your friend list, so you can have a level 87 in your team if any of your friend have one. For Saint Barbara, you need a decent team of Mystic attackers. The fights in Volume F, you will want students from severals schools, the fight will give buffs to students from a specific school.

No problem. Credit of the strategy go to Yonas CY

Definitely a strange road block

Your opinion seems to be the same as most people about this fight, and honestly, it is the same as mine too. And just to be transparent, the strat originally is by Yonas CY, I just optimized it a bit.

No problem. Credit to Yonas CY for the strat originally, I just optimized it a bit more

Nice! I don't know the specifics of where you can find these informations, however to my knowledge the first person to use this strat is Yonas CY, and there is also a reddit post that talk about this strat in more details. Both of them are credited in my description if you want to check them out.

Damn rip. Shouldn't be hard to grind up tho

@@Yamichanpc thanks, I’m currently grinding rn and I got to lv 25

They will spawn 1 time and that should be it. If they spawn more than once then idk since never happened to me

Good to know. I didn't use Chise since it deviated from Yonas CY's original plan of utilizing mostly auto-attacks. Also Chise is mystic attack so I didn't think that she would be good against Hieronymus light armor

Nice job beating the boss! Yea, I kind of agree that this was thrown in at the climax of the story out of nowhere. I kinda wish they would let you recruit students from your friend list for this fight as well, just so those who want to beat it proper have a choice, and those who want to skip it can. Thats what they did for another fight in the late game, and I kinda wish they fix this fight too.

Especially since you're not hinted at using your own units at any point in the story before this, so for players that have exclusively been playing the story(cause it's awesome most of the time)... they're forced to go grind missions for a few days/weeks. Very poorly implemented ajd I wish the game would straight up tell you about this when you get to this chapter

I would call it my "attempt at beating the boss" rather than a tutorial. But thanks

Nice!

Nice! Serika is amazing. She is probably one of the students with the highest attack stat. Unfortunately, she has no AoE, but for just auto attack dps, Serika is definitely on top.

Serika has high dps, with her EX being quite low SP. I think a good substitute will need to be someone with high damage and also low SP cost, ideally explosive damage as well. Hina is a good option if she had been invested in quite a bit, otherwise I would say she is too expensive. Another option would be to try and get a lot of burst damage dealers onto your team. The strategy used in this video is using brain-off dps to deal damage. However, if you have several single target burst EX, that can be effective against the boss.

​@@Yamichanpc I am at level 38, so do my students in the video. But my Tsubaki gears are at Tier 2, idk if it is ok. About the student to use instead of Serika, I dont have Hina, I got Aru at everyone first roll.

​@@Yamichanpc My maid Asuna is 1 star, cuz I dont invest much for her, Yuuka 2 stars, the other red bullet students I got are Akari, Aru, Haruka, Kayoko, blue bullet students are Chise, Kaho (which have same lvl as me). Also I got Tsurugi (swimsuit), Izumi (swimsuit) and Suzumi (all these have 1 star) which I dont invest in them.

After doing a quick check, here are some things I noted for the students you got, assuming these are all available ones: I don't think Aru would be viable because the terrain lower her damage, as well as her EX skill damaging the mobs spawn on the right side, which is something the strategy in this video avoid doing at all cost. Akari might be okay, but her EX skill doubles the cost of Serika, and also do AoE, which requires you to pay more attention when you use it, as we do not want to kill any spawns from the right after the initial spawn. The fact that Akari EX is AoE also means that it will probably not be as good in term of single target damage compared to other burst single target EX. I don't think Haruka is a good damage option since she is a tanker, and we already have 2 tankers in the fight, unless you want to switch her with one of the two. For Kayoko, I don't think she would work either. Her EX skill have SP cost of 6, and the AoE is large enough to damage the mobs on the right once again. Chise is okay, although she does not have explosive damage, and her EX cost is 4. Her damage in my opinion, is okay at best, so she is not an ideal option, but can be use. Kaho flaw is that she have terrain disadvantage and her EX cost is 5, as well as not explosive damage. Terrain disadvantage is definitely her biggest problem I would say. S. Tsurugi does sound good since she does good damage, however her basic skill damage 1 random enemy (to my knowledge), and being at 1 star means she does not have bonus attack speed, which does hurt her damage output quite a bit. Suzumi is more of a support unit, stunning enemies units(at higher EX skill level), however this doesn't really helps since we want to focus on damaging the boss, not stunning any of the enemies neccessarily. She is also not a dealer, meaning that she will not do as much damage. I would actually want to know what backline students you have as well, as some of them are very powerful and may be able to do more damage than your frontline. For example, if you want to somewhat follow the strategy in this video with a different comp, you can change hanae to someone like Minori, who is a very strong Explosive student with EX skill SP of 4, go up to 7, with progressively higher damage output per additional SP used. Her down side is that she do AoE and her basic skill is also AoE at a random target. Using her would also means that keeping the enemies on the right will not be as high of a priority anymore, and that you will want to burst it down as fast as possible while Tsubaki is still alive. You will also need to change one of your frontliner to a healer to heal Tsubaki. Other good backline damage dealers alternatives would be Mashiro, which come with her own problems. S. Shiroko, which combo extremely well with Shun, as well as single target debuff the boss defense as boost your team's crit at the start of the fight. Azusa is almost perfect with the exception of her basic skill attack 1 random enemy. You can also buy upgrades from shop, such as using Eligma, Expert Permits, etc. These should buff your preexisting students further if you are willing to spend your resources. These are just some of the things I thought of rn, so I am sure there are more ways for you to change your team to make it work.

@nhatnguyenquoc2004 also there is a skip button on the top right, I am not sure if it is only there after you have beaten the fight, or if it is there all the time, please do check that out and let me know since I didn't look out for it my first time beating the fight

Thank you for the breakdown. I was too lazy to write it, but yours is exactly right.

Ngl I kinda love it. Guess that make me a masochist

one shotting feels really cheap and unfair. 9 Hearts gone in 1 hit. I even turned down to Casual mode and it's still the same. I managed to beat it, but it still feel annoyingly cheap@@Yamichanpc

@@warcatbattalion fair, I can see why you think that

Damn having Aris must be nice...
