ToH Strategems

[demishock]

I've done all of my ToHs (I think I've done like 18, and only didn't make my voucher points twice) on my SBK sinx (STR/INT). I have approximately no high-end gear. I ToH with: elemental katars; an Odin's Blessing + Evil Druid card; uncarded, safe-limit refined Wool/Tidals; a Dia Ring + Phen; a Brad Ring + Mantis; Mask of Goddess; Black Hip Ribbon; and an uncarded safe-limit Hermode's Cap.

Monster Trial strategy: approach slowly, damage check, kill if I can, die if I can't (I am no good at running away. Even when I try, I usually fail. I never managed to master Backslide. Despite playing for years, I am not good at RO and don't claim to be.) As a general rule, I tend to do okay in the first 3 rounds and then bomb the last 2, for a total of 30 points.

Item Trial strategy: Steal. One-hit KO every monster with SBK using my +5 Inverse Scare. Usually run out of SP items halfway through and suicide on a Garm to res with full SP. If I don't get the full 50 points here, I have to make up the rest in trivia, or, on one very lucky occasion, when my side (Dark) won mass battle while I was down in points.

I don't think I've ever managed to get to 90+ points, though, so if you're looking to go to 100, I can't help you there. XD
