Description

How to Obtain the Achievement: Fighting the Windmills

I admit that I've spent more than a week trying to make this achievement, but with a bit of luck a good strategy and good mixers you too will be able to achieve this!!!

Suggested Strategies

This guide will provide some strategies that can help with this particolar challenge:

Strategy 1 Kyoko's stall
Requirement:

• Alte & Kyoko Character Pack
  
• 4 players (optional but suggested becouse the bot will bring bad cards and relentlessly damage the boss)
  
• Some card packs DLCs (we'll go in detail later about the cards)

Characters and roles

1. Kyoko Guardian (with Crystal Barrier not the role hyper)
   
2. Kyoko Guardian (with Crystal Barrier not the role hyper)
   
3. Kyoko Guardian (with Crystal Barrier not the role hyper)
   
4. Kyoko Guardian (with Crystal Barrier not the role hyper)

All the players must choose Kyoko and the suggested roles is Guardian (but one of you can be dealer or support)

The main thing you have to do with this strategy as the name of it suggests is to waste as much time as possible and try to damage the boss as little as possible, to do this is highly suggested to stop at home very frequently, another important thing is try to acquire as much hyper cards as possible and try to get at least 200 stars (as in late game it will become pretty expensive), after chapter 40 depending on how much hyper cards you have gathered one player at a time should play Crystal Barrier trying to survive as much as possible without damaging the boss, the other players can use their hyper card all of you have enough to do 10 chapters without killing the boss or dying for the boss's damage, or try to teleport (or use cards that end your turn without moving, e.g., Party Time)

This strategy does not have an high success rate but does not require a lot of DLCs, it's good if you have new players that wants the achievement but does not have many DLCs

I'll give this a 8/10

Strategy 1 The dealers strategy
Requirement:

• Alte & Kyoko Character Pack
  
• Sora & Sham (Cuties) Character Pack
  
• Toy Store Pack (only if you wanna do it with Arthur)
  
• Halena & Cook Character Pack
  
• Ownership of Xmas Shooting - Scramble!! on Steam
  
• 4 players (optional but suggested becouse the bot will bring bad cards and relentlessly damage the boss)
  
• Some card packs DLCs (we'll go in detail later about the cards)

Characters and roles

1. Kyoko Guardian (with Crystal Barrier not the role hyper)
   
2. Cuties Dealer (with Special Stage not the role hyper)
   
3. Halena Dealer (with Safe Journey not the role hyper)
   
4. A star maker character (more later)

Star makers characters (in order from best):

1. Aru (Scramble) as Dealer
   
2. Arthur as Dealer (use his hyper on the home panels and then on the central part of the map and try to keep getting on the marked panels)
   
3. Chicken as Support (remember to use its hyper when you have a high norma and on your home panel; its low recovery may help late game as Support making it a great pick)

based on the star maker character the strategy may vary; I'll try to be as specific as possible

The main thing is acquiring card, the star maker character should be always looking to grant some stars to the players trying to get to the maximum norma as fast as possible, the Cuties and Halena should try to get as much hyper cards as possible and give it equally to all the players, but in case of bad luck and less hypers it's a good choice to give it to Kyoko as in late game is the only character capable of surviving the boss attacks, you should use Safe Journey after chapter 40, and try to give to Kyoko at least two Special Stage as with max norma it would mean a victory, All the other players can either die from the boss attacks or try to survive and avoid combact with card that make you end your turn, the main thing is to have an healthy boss as in late game some damage to it will be inevitable, if you have the chicken it should always try to revive Kyoko as the tank of the team and only hope to the victory

This strategy is the best to do the achievement with the better success rate, if you can find the good people you can totally do the achievement first time, but the fact that it requires a lot of dlc makes it really hard to try with random people

this one is a 10/10

Strategy 3 Fernet stall (or the non DLC one)
Requirement:
nothing actually

Characters and roles

1. Fernet Guardian (with the role hyper Guardian on the White Beach)
   
2. Fernet Guardian (with the role hyper Guardian on the White Beach)
   
3. Fernet Guardian (with the role hyper Guardian on the White Beach)
   
4. Fernet Guardian (with the role hyper Guardian on the White Beach)

The strategy is very similar to the first one, but i strongly suggest late game to have some cards that makes you end your turn without moving because it will be very very hard

I suggest this strategy if you are broke and can't afford the DLCs

this one has a success rate of 6/10 and is more challenging.

Cards

Suggested Cards

I will not suggest a deck but all the card that can be useful; personally it depends on the play style that you want to have with the proposed strategies note that they are in a random order

• Nice Jingle (just if you are always low on stars)
  
• Nice present (a must if you do the Dealer strategy)
  
• Pudding (highly suggested with the Fernet's stall)
  
• President Privilege
  
• Passionate Research(You should always pick it if you're trying with the first or second strategy)
  
• President's Privilege(Very useful with the second strategy)
  
• Mimic (It may save you and your run in some specific situations if you're trying with the second strategy)
  
• Shield (a literal life saver)
  
• Reverse Attribute Field (use it when the boss is low hp hoping it will evade for once!!)
  
• Tactical retreat (Always bring as much as you can)
  
• Dark side of business (I suggest it especially with the second strategy)
  
• Deceptive Disarming (you should always get it becouse it makes discart the boss next card, use it wisely when the boss can attack everyone next round)
  
• Dangerous pudding (A must for the first and third strategies)
  
• Piggy Bank
  
• Holy Night
  
• Dinner
  
• Forced revival (can save you late game)
  
• Play of the gods (can make you save some stars)
  
• Party time (A must.)
  
• Serene hush (A must.)
  
• Home improvement (Can help acquiring your hypers)
  
• Metallic Monocoque (A life saver with all the strategies)

I guess another there is another character for stalling turns, basically "cuties at home", in flying castle. Since its hyper skips your movement roll and you won t trigger any panel for the duration.
castle has small upsides over cuties since the hyper gives +2 def and allows you play cards while active, and is also WAY cheaper and not norma dependant. However, it is otherwise worse to cuties in every other regard (+1 attack, abysmal recovery, way shorter duration of hyper), but its actually doable to slap a castle dealer into strategy 1 and 3, as well as using dealer castle over dealer cuties. i would not recommend it though lol.

(3/3)

Cards that deserve mentioning are mixed phenomenon and serious battle. Serious battle is basically "better shield" for the cuties stall strat which doesn t stack up on defense. and mixed phenomenon - when used by player one past turn 40, will shut off the boss panels for 1 turn (before they get respawned the next turn). its also an event (so cuties synergy).


(2/3)

tbh i find party time to be a double edged sword. sure - it can help 1 player skip a boss panel turn, but it also bunches you up together and therefore making u more susceptible to the bosses area of effect cards - which are the big deal if you don t have a halena hyper helping you out.

dark side of business is imo a bit of a questionable choice. its a dead draw late game. If cuties stall goes well, you will never do a single battle past turn 40. in kyoko and fernet stall it shouldn t net you much profit to warrant running it - and you will not have trouble getting trouble of getting into kill range if you use suicide as tactical maneuver.
