How to Clear Side Story: Aki Chapter 4 Act 1 Traces of The Primal Light Alternative

As always, read the descriptions of enemy's skills before going to complete the stage. If that's too much for you, here are the main things and how to clear the stage based on it: Elbris Ritual Sword will attack all heroes (your team and Saria's) at every fifth turn. There are two special undispellable debuff that greatly increase damage suffered from that. So, make sure that when the attack comes, no one have that debuff (stomata) in your team (you can dispell it by tagging) and Saria doesn't have invicibility buff (she has it every turn, and can only be dispelled by breaking the fire barrier in the minion. So, break it right before the attack from Elbris Ritual Sword, and decrease Saria's combat readiness and inflict her with decrease speed debuff by breaking the ice barrier). Doing this will do the most damage (cause Saria's defense is so high, while Elbris inflicts big additional damage). So, to put it simply, just let Elbris Ritual Sword clears this stage. You can still clear this manually, but that is very difficult. There are three barriers, one fire elemental and others are ice elemental. Break the fire one right before Elbris does the job, and the ice ones to make sure that Saria gets its damage. If your heroes land big damage, basic skill is enough. If not, then use second or third skill. Defeating the minion or not, it's up to you. Cause Saria will revive them all along with the barrier (the same effect applies when they aren't defeated). Don't attack Saria unless you can land damage on her or there are no minion left. Cause she will get her combat readiness increases by 8% when attacked. Although Saria inflicts the highest combat readiness one first with stomata buff, she also decreases his combat readiness. So, you may find that you can't save your hero by tagging. So, make sure that you can finish this stage without full force. To ensure your heroes safety, it's recommended to bring a soul weaver with immortality buff that heals often. Also bring heroes that heal themselves (lifesteal set or skill) or have immortality buff. Bringing reviver is no need, cause Elbris inflicts cannot revive. But you can still save your heroes from other damages with that. Cause the barriers are weak against its enemies (elemental disadvantage), make sure that you bring one ice elemental hero and one earth elemental hero. No need to bring fire elemental cause there is Aki. As for the soul weaver, it's up to you. It's recommended to bring moonlight one though, to ensure his safety (cause the damage will become neutral, no advantage nor disadvantage). If you want to get three stars but can't with your heroes, you can use progression heroes after. If you know the tips and their abilities, you can clear this stage without big difficulties. That's All, let's try! ^^
