Talk:X Drake (Coliseum)/@comment-10336-20171002063745

I've used SW Ace team (2x SW Ace, RaidKuma, SW Franky, RaidZephyr and SW Chopper for poison removal). Fast, but dangerous, I've had 2:1 win-loss ratio so far as I am ironing out the kinks. Thoughts: it is hard to farm orbs on Stage 3 with that team; if you have 2+ DEX ones you can probably OTK Gladius on turn two (turn 1 attack, turn 2 Ace+Kuma). If you cannot deal ~20% or more damage to get Gladius to a bit above 50%, then you need pretty much all perfects on the burst. Alt strategy is to tank him for two more turns, just don't get him to <50%. For stage 5, you can OTK Drake BUT not if you trigger his DEF UP ( reddit says his special is <40% but I think it may be wrong and it is at <50%). You will probably need to pull your punches on 1st turn (I suggest activating all specials but using Zephyr early rather then finishing with him). IF you have enough health (likely if you OTK Gladius in 2 turns) you may be able to survive a hit from Drake, which should make this easier.
