Tips on How to Beat Smoker's Great Pursuit[]

See Tips for New OPTC Players and Roadmap

General Information[]

Smoker's stage was one of the earlier fortnights released. The binding from Smoker was significantly more difficult to deal with before sockets, and Tashigi as a QCK unit was more difficult to deal with since her color was strong against all STR squads. Due to there being fewer rainbow options outside of Mihawk leads at the time, many people used to struggle with this level. Newer players may find the same situation if they are still building their teams, so beware that you'll need to craft your team around these two challenges.

The game has progressed since its release and now Striker leads, Powerhouse, and Rainbow captain leads have opened the door to other units that help squads beat this level with more ease. Sockets have also proven to weaken Smoker's effect on teams and their speed runs.

Recommended Captains[]

The rare boss here is Tashigi and she is a QCK, so she can be a nasty surprise for STR teams. You can plan for her rare appearance by taking a strong DEX hitter, like Zoro, Mihawk, or Doffy, but beware that this will weaken your damage output against Smoker.

Captain Kid striker teams will do good, particularly if you can bring a strong DEX unit to deal with Tashigi.
STR-based leads

Blackbeard
Blamenco
Bartholomew Kuma Warlord of the Sea
Monkey D. Luffy Gear 2
Tony Tony Chopper Post-Rampage
Tony Tony Chopper Voyage Dream: Great Doctor: A 2x ATK STR boost or higher is preferred, but Chopper is a good choice too for teams that want to stall a bit more to charge their specials.

Slasher Leads

Recommended Support Units[]

Iron-Mace Alvida Smooth-Smooth Fruit: Alvida will buy you 3 turns with Smoker.
Usopp Usopp Golden Pound: Usopp works just fine since Smoker has no immunity
Escapee Morgan: Morgan is a great captain with a low cooldown to handle Smoker's bind.

Sergeant Helmeppo: Another good unit to unlock units if you don't have Morgan or your Morgan is too weak.

Recommended Sockets[]

Level 3 anti-lock sockets will be amazing for this stage!

As always, matching orbs and cooldown reduction sockets will help.

30 Stamina Walkthrough[]

This is a relatively easy fortnight, because Smoker attacks just every 3 turns. However, he will first strike which will bind your captain for 4 turns (remember: bound captains abilities don't work) and deal 6,000 damage.

Stall on earlier stages to charge your specials as HP permits, keeping the 6k HP as a buffer for his first strike.

7

White Chase Smoker

Smoker his consistently hard. If you are struggling to take him out quickly, plan on bring a Time Delay unit or a Damage Reducer to handle the attacks. Since he attacks every three turns, you'll be able to buy a lot of time by negating one attack.

Prepare for a burst round close to Smoker's 20% health mark. If you fail, you'll find both captains locked for three turns, hope you have level III anti-bind sockets!!

Enemy	Hp	Attack Pattern
White Chase Smoker	825,000 hp	Preemptively attacks for 6,310 in damage and locks your captain for 4 turns (turns of your captain's attack bonus). Loop 1) Hits for 6,310 every 3 turns. Under 20%, locks both of your captains for 3 turns.

Secret Stage

Tashigi Navy HQ Ensign

Tashigi is quite dangerous. Her type is strong against STR unit, and STR units are weak against her. If you brought a rainbow team, finish your attacks with matching orbs and DEX units. You'll have one round to take out most of the marines, and the second to take out the rest and her. It should be doable with a high level team, and mid-level and low-level teams can look to damage reducers and time delay units as long as you'll have them ready for Smoker on stage 7.

Enemy	Hp	Attack Pattern
Tashigi Navy HQ Ensign	150,000 hp -	Begins with a 2 turn cooldown and hits for 3,331 damage. Marines hit for 1,335 damage one a 1-2 turn cooldown.
