A surprisingly difficult fight!  
  
  
  
Wanted to try a more thematic clear with Oersted and Streibough battling it out as friends. Quickly realized that was *difficult* on a Perfect!  
So attempted a far more defensive line up. Could make a team that didn't care what damage came their way. Unfortunately that team did minimal damage themselves. A clear like that may have taken even longer than the Follower cascade Perfect on release.  
  
While this isn't the *most* trying cascade, it held a personal record for me in how long it took to come up with a team that could do it in at least a reasonable timeframe.   
Spent quite some hours going through every character's Skills and Passives.  
Seeing who could cap both Active E.Atk down and Active/Passive E.Def up as best as possible.  
As Brigitte was the key for Follower, so was she the glue that held this clear steady.   
  
For those looking to Perfect it themselves, a team consisting of:  


* Kilns/Ramona 
* Saria 
* Pearl 
* Gloria/Jose or Brigitte depending on if Passive or Active E.Def is needed.  

This team should allow a mostly, if not totally, F2P clear to Perfect it. Though it will take a few hours to do so.  
HP stat accessories is the greater need for this team.  
  
I was so thoroughly impressed and awed with the original Live A Live and it's unique poetic translation. Even though I had no connection to the original I enjoyed the classic interplay of the Noble Oersted and Cunning Streibough vying for the Princess' love.   
Then the treachery brought on by his Envy. His Bitterness. How that could tear apart even the Greatest of Friends.   
Rhymed pair bale fared did our young Oersted dare!  
  
I think [‪](https://www.youtube.com/@Oersted_LAL)Oersted\_LAL  is right. If the original is at least as good a quality as COTC's then it must be worth the playthrough. Think I'll do that soon.  
  
However,  
There are still some things I want to accomplish with COTC before then.   
One more challenge to overcome.   
One more Quest I must undertake...
