Gilfest 2019 Exhibition Quest Tips

With roughly 10 hours of the event left, I figured that I’d list the tips and tricks that I used to clear every exhibition quest this year to help out anyone struggling. 

Nero Bride

This quest pits you against Nero Bride, Fionn and Napoleon. I cleared it with an arduous slog of a stall team. The enemy team cycles through phases of damage resistance while supporting their allies (with greatly decreased NP damage) and an attacking phase where they lack their special defense and... attack. On break, the bosses each grant a buff to the enemy team. Nero gives them all an inflict burn buff on attack, Fionn gives them a one-hit evade every turn, Napoleon boosts their damage and criticals. 

I killed Nero first, then Napoleon, then Fionn. If Fionn’s taunt is ticking you off, you can kill him first, just understand that his evade buff can get pretty annoying. Jeanne is almost a must for this quest as her NP can save you from being damaged and her stun can rotate the attacker buff to a different unit. While you’re waiting for it to come off CD to damage who you want, consider dealing some damage to the current vulnerable enemy. 

Eric Bloodaxe

Honestly, this fight is pretty straightforward. I brought a standard Arts team and cleared without any difficulty. He buffs himself. Watch out for his Noble Phantasm. 

Gorgon Sisters

Honestly, this fight is one of the trickier ones. I hear everyone’s favorite Mothman, Qin Shi Huang can fodderize it himself, but no one on my friends list has him, so I haven’t tried it myself. Each sister has a potent card type resist. When they die, they transfer a weakened(?) version to their siblings. I brought my Enkidu and a support Godjuna. All three sisters are weakest to Brave chains and that’s the most effective way to kill the last sister alive. It might behoove you to kill all three at once with a Godjuna NP buffed by Waver/Merlin/Chen Gong. Do not bring female units, the sisters will suck the life from them.

Mephistopheles

 This fight’s the most annoying. There are really two options here: bring an AoE alterego and stall out or try the quest multiple times until the stars align and clear in less than 10 turns with Godjuna. 

Mephisto gives a random party member a (de)buff which boosts performance when he’s not around, but reduces it when he is. He’ll rotate himself out with a bunch of trash mobs and show up every couple of turns. (I believe once every 3 turns.) He inflicts buff block to your party and a death timer that procs at the end of the seventh turn. 

Basically AoE NP when he’s around and build up your resources when he isn’t. He himself doesn’t do too much damage, but you need to find a way to deal with the instant death if you’re trying a more drawn-out strategy. 

Great Hero Eli-chan’s Big Adventure ReMix

You’re given a forced support Brave Elizabeth. With a little luck and deft use of the Atlas Mystic Code, she can solo. I’m not lucky, I used 2 command seals, you can probably get away with 1. This is the only quest I used Command Seals on this year. 

There are six waves of enemies. Have Elizabeth kill every enemy to give herself permanent buffs. The Metal Ghosts will run away if you don’t kill them fast enough. Wave 5 will try and AoE kill your party with a piercing invulnerability gazer NP the second turn. Use Eli’s NP and kill it first. The boss is a big dragon that can’t be hurt by anyone but Elizabeth (Brave). He’ll charm her for a turn or two on break. 

Achilles

You can’t solo with SSG Karna. Be disappointed. Bring Enkidu instead. 

In all seriousness, bring a single-target attacker of your choice that isn’t female or an assassin. His first health bar has damage resistance. The second health bar has him challenge a party member to a duel (so long as they aren’t female, and Assassin or a Caster.) If there are no valid targets, he’ll NP until you die. 

While dueling, you draw only the challenged unit’s cards, the rest of your party is stunned and Achilles will only attack the unit who he is dueling. A friend’s Altercu with the damage CE in the back of your party does over half the work for you. 

Romulus

 Bring an AoE Saber. This fight is all about paying attention. ROMA won’t attack roman units if he can avoid it. Roman units can’t damage him. Every turn he’ll give a rotating boon to Roman units. It follows this order: Heal, NP charge +  damage, attack up. You become Roman for the remainder of the turn as well as the next when you attack him. His NP doesn’t really damage Roman units unless he’s on his 3rd health bar. 

His NP charge buff can be a godsend, remember to not let only one of your supports not be a Roman, because if they’re not, Romulus will likely kill them. If you take too long and don’t kill his adds he’ll give permanent buffs to his party. This is why you bring an AoE Saber, because if you do, you don’t have to worry about that too much. 

I hope that this helps somebody. Now go and get those tickets and mats. Luck be with you. 

(Chen Gong is genderbent Rani VIII also the best boy 2k19, stay woke.)

I’ve seen your tags about apples a couple times now and…..I though gilfest was only twice? And this year we have scathach fest instead? I mean I’d be thrilled if it came back bc I also very much need proofs but….

I started in 2019 so i just call it gilfest. Has a nicer ring to it than Nerofest and especially Scathfest...

Oh but the rewards this year ARE still proofs, specifically Proofs, Bones, Gears, and Feathers. Here:

this thing is a godsend

Firstly aoe np atker is a must for this challenge quest. Mephisto basically plugsuits out after he reappears each time. so always have aoe np ready when he on the field. secondly break his first bar before he casts instadeath at around turn 7.

 it entirely up to u but bring a debuff cleanser to get rid of buff block Mephisto casts in the beginning or this use it 3 times to get rid of it. 

Mephisto buff removals and def up on break so recommend stacking those def downs everytime he up as well. skadi np is a must use to have on turn 7 coz she blocks the insta death. 

Edit: decided to add another method for ppl who lack Waver/Merlin etc.

GIL FEST 2019

Somehow Ganesha (statue form) came out to fight you with Kama and Wu Zetian (also Lan Ling from the story inset but somehow he didnt show up.) It makes me think she was babysitting these girls/boys...

Karna was mentioned by Gilgamesh near the ending, so spoilers

Space Ishtar called herself Space Ishtar but nothing changed look or skillwise, so Gilgamesh scolds her by saying 

“You try to be special by adding "space" in front of your name, but you're just the same ol' Ishtar! Go apologize to the Lancer who also retained his name but added "SUPER” in front and actually got a new costume change!”

this means Karna has been going around introducing himself as super Karna LOL

Of course, gilfest is mostly jokes so it’s not actually canon, but still funny. (ps, that ishtar is actually Space Ishtar, found out after u killed her)
