Talk:Rumbling of Thunder/@comment-1469209-20180303233513

Did this stage with a number of different teams trying to figure out myself ways to do the achievements.

Started with Sakura + Nyx, Papaver, Cactus, Cornflower + Sakura because I figured elves could sustain through some of the nonsense in R3 if my board was bad and still be able to comfortably burst the final round. I was correct and found at the end that it didn't fulfill any achievement requirement.... I misread "3 or more races" as "3 or more attributes." Either way this team is my go to for grinding the stage for dupes.

Next I did the actual 3 Races achievement with Athena + Huifre, PR Sariel, Sun Shangxiang, Ali Baba + Athena. The team has enough health and recovery for you to grind through R3 if your board is bad which was important for me. It has burst potential with Ali Baba alone, but with Athena rolling it is overkill for all battles in this SM. Sariel was for R6 poison, Huifre was for R7a and then Sun Shangxiang was for R7b so there were no extraneous spinning skill needed for this team. Another I would recommend as it counters all the elements in this SM handily.

For the all Fire achievement I used Hephaestus + Chessia, Marchosias (Queen of Hearts but for everyone outside of HK), Shuten-doji, Medea + Hephaestus. The only issue with this team is that you cannot take a hit from Apollo in R3, so you need a good board and good spins to pass without issue. You can also do what I did which is use your DC to ensure you clear without issue. Stall wherever you can so Marchosias is up in time by R6, then use Hephaestus + Chessia + Medea for the R7a and use DC to filter darks for R7b. Use Shuten-doji to ensure the kill.

For the all Light achievement I used Apollo + ML, ML, Lionel, Luna + Apollo. Straight forward what to do each round, Lionel for R6, turn on ML afterwards. Burst Burst Burst ez. This team has no ways of clearing the board easily without using DC to filter runes. What I did in R7a was just spin as best I could to make the dark runes dissolve off skydrops, and use DC to filter. DO NOT USE ML ON R7ba or R7b AT ALL, you don't need it and it has a higher chance of messing with your odds of success than creating an easier board to spin.
