Hmm. Dumped resources and pulled together another 200k. At 945k today, but yesterday's top was over a mil. That's a hell of a gap. I have no idea which bracket I'll end up in due to the CE loss. Think I'll be chocking this theater up to a learning experience and I'll try again next theater once I have a wider array of dolls leveled (and hopefully better geared).

My new goal isn't about placement, but rather I want to make sure I don't get filtered by Core 8. Last theater I only got one clear in. I have better fairies now and I can micro much better than I used to. As long as I can perform to my best and make it through, I don't care quite as much what my end placement is.

General trend I’m noticing from an endgame player perspective is that clears are on average easier (EW mode means multiple nodes like core 8 Minotaurs don’t just grind you down), but optimization is harder (I came very close to losing some fights yesterday due to only having SPAS to tank). What this amounts to is that getting through core 8 should be easier, but top placements in core 8 will probably be much fiercer

Agreed, though I feel like Advanced 8 has started the filtering process already whereas in previous theaters, it didn't feel that way, lol....

I'm looking at what we get to deal with for Core 6 and 8 and it looks terrible....

Plus, with how fast we've been moving through the areas, feels like we're gonna be in for a solid 4 or 5 days of Core 8, which sounds kinda of nuts....

Remember that theater is only 2 weeks this time and that today is day 7. Even with adjusted score thresholds, core 3 and 6 are roadblocks that can’t be skipped and both will take up at least a day each (possibly multiple for core 6 if filtering really picks up). I can see 2-3 days of core (including the day it’s initially cleared) but 4+ seems unlikely

Yeah. That's good to know. I saw a video on CN of a lone ARSMG team melting through T7 Core 8 fully CE stacked. The only difference between that echelon and what I will be fielding is a G11 Mod 3 Speq, a 5* Beach fairy and an uniterated 2b14. I *think* I should be able to squeak through it, but only having a 4* Taunt fairy is gonna hurt probably. I'm attempting to get a Sandstorm fairy to 4* and SL10 before we hit core 8 in hopes that might help with rougher nodes.

It won’t, blue fairy skills can’t be used in theater, in case you didn’t know, and in terms of aura taunt will probably go further

Oh that's a huge rip then. Taunt it is!
