Doing runs like this takes a little longer, but is more consistent and results in higher max scores. Keep this in mind for future FH stages with 3 or more enemies.

Anyone comfortably in their FH rank bracket want to help me test something? I think sacrificing 3TK for more hits can net a higher score on the stages with 3+ enemies (Tia and Glasses Guys).

Weakness points are 50 per hit per enemy and the overkill bonus is 30,000. Dividing those, 600 hits need to be made to compensate. 200 hits per enemy on Tia's stage and 150 hits per enemy on the Glasses stage. The cookie cutter team does 197 hits per turn with Shida's BB (172 without). At least 2 extra turns are needed for Tia's stage and at least 1 extra turn is needed for Glasses stage to make up for the 3TK bonus with weakness hits alone.

On paper this seems like it could net an extra 100k+ points per run. I'd like to know if you guys have any significant results in practice. It may be worth sacrificing sparks in order to get as many turns in as possible. If you have hella time you could probably use just Rosetta and the Larios until the turn you want to kill.

Edit: So this is really easy to do on Glasses stage. Tia loses HP kind of quick since you need to spark on her. I'm gonna try guarding on the first turn next run.

^ helped me salvage a pretty crappy run where I killed 2 enemies on accident. 2.14m at the end.

Edit2: it seems Tia's second summon is based on some HP threshold. Activated between 20% and 30%.

Welp only 30k extra from my old high score since Tia's stage doesn't work the way I thought it did. Still, this seems to be a hell of a lot more consistent than the usual method in exchange for being more time consuming.

Also, I learned overkill points are tracked throughout the battle and not only on the final turn. I forgot Rosetta SBB and left Tia's second summon alive an extra turn, but I still got 90k overkill points.

Edit 3: Accidently used Quaid in place of Feeva... Still a 2m run, thankfully. I'm at rank 1361 atm, but +5 this season doesn't seem feasible unless I use a bunch of gems. Hopefully I'll stay within +4 range. If only I knew to do runs this way from the beginning...
