I'll be starting with my strongest mono team: my mono-earth team.
Take note that some of the spheres I use on this team are being used by those in my main team, so these stats are not final.
I went for a slight glass cannon build with enough endurance to screw over Cursed Estia level 8 in five/six turns with seals and ores. Here is a list of how to obtain the units (in all forms) in what I feel is the easiest way in this squad (bold means that this method is unusable at time of posting):
Holy Earth Lance
2* Pikeman Lance: Start with him, Honor Summon, Nemia's Vortex event level 2 & 3, Six Heroes event
3* Vine Pike Lance: Evolve Pikeman Lance, Six Heroes event
4* Earth Pike Lance: Evolve Vine Pike Lance, Six Heroes event
5* Nature God Lance: Evolve Earth Pike Lance, Six Heroes event (not so sure, since there were rumors of people obtaining Thunder God Eze and God Atro in that event)
6* Holy Earth Lance: Evolve Nature God Lance
Bow God Lario
2* Archer Lario: Honor Summon, rare drop in The World Tree (Blood Forest)
3* Marksman Lario: Rare Summon, evolve Archer Lario
4* Hawkeye Lario: Rare Summon, evolve Marksman Lario
5* Bow God Lario: Evolve Hawkeye Lario
Empress Lidith
3* Princess Lidith: Rare Summon
4* Queen Lidith: Rare Summon, evolve Princess Lidith
5* Empress Lidith: Evolve Queen Lidith
God Tree Eltri
3* Great Tree Alneu: Rare Summon
4* World Tree Altro: Rare Summon, evolve Great Tree Alneu
5* God Tree Eltri: Rare Summon, evolve World Tree Altro
6* Alpha Tree Altri: Evolve God Tree Eltri
Wild Slash Bayley
3* Maiden Bayley: Summoners in Arms event, Bayley's Vortex event
4* Nyan Slash Bayley: Evolve Maiden Bayley, Bayley's Vortex event (not so sure as I heard people obtaining the 4* Maidens during the event period)
5* Wild Slash Bayley: Evolve Nyan Slash Bayley
My leader is Holy Earth Lance, type Anima. His leader skill is useful for mono earth teams, as it boosts ATK power of Earth units by 50% and boosts HP of Earth units by 10%. He has solid stats and is a tanker, and probably the only downside is that he has very low REC, but I feel it is overlooked by his other outstanding stats. I stuck a Flesh Armor on him as well. The DEF buff from his SBB can help with the endurance of the team.
My main attacker is Empress Lidith, type Lord. She has the worst defenses among everyone in my mono-Earth team, but has the second-best attack power, as well as an attack animation that is somewhat made for sparking. The hits are more or less equally spaced within a small time frame, making sparking quite easy. Her BB produces a lot of HC, and I would use it if Eltri's BB is more than enough to fully heal the team. I would give her the Burny Soul Stone or the Flesh Armor, since I have two Flesh Armors.
My Bow God Lario (type Lord) and Wild Slash Bayley (type Oracle) are the slightly balanced attackers. Lario would have either the Burny Soul Stone or the Flesh Armor. I recently evolved Bayley, and she needs the stat boosts, so I stuck my Sacred Jewel on her, so she won't die very easily. Bayley's BB can help in dispatching mobs quickly as it can poison. Lario is another one of my spark machines in this squad.
My healer is God Tree Eltri, type Oracle. As per usual, on boss stages, he would be guarding at ALL times. I stuck the Refined Gem on this guy, so that whenever an AOE BB that has a chance to inflict a crapton of status ailments is unleashed, usually in boss fights (CURSE YOU, CURSED ESTIA! TURN 3 BB!), Eltri won't suffer from any ailment and I can use his BB to clear the party's status ailments, as well as restoring a sizable amount of HP.
Here are the methods to obtain the spheres I use in this squad:
The Burny Soul Stone is a sphere from a limited event back in April Fool's Day: Burny and Friends UNLEASHED!! It raises all stats of a unit by 10%.
Flesh Armors can be obtained in Arena (Warrior), or upon reaching HR 2. It raises the HP and DEF of a unit by 10%
Sacred Jewels can be obtained in Arena (Gladiator), Frontier Hunter Esteem Rewards, or upon reaching HR 9. It raises all stats of a unit by 15%
Refined Gems can be obtained in Arena (Crusader), or upon reaching HR 5. It invalidates all status ailments that can be inflicted on the unit.
As for items, I'd bring Cures/Divine Lights, High Cures, Earth Seals, Earth Ores, and an insurance Revive. If I'm confident that my team will beat the opponent without a dying member, I'll switch the Revive with Fujin Potions. But this almost never happens because I don't feel safe doing a mission without a Revive.
Farming spots for items, as well as who to spark (in parentheses):
Cure materials
Green Grass and Green Drops: Adventurer's Prairie - Start of Adventure (ALL BLOBS)
Red Drops: Destroyed Cathedral - The Peculiar Black Knight (Minotaurs and Fairies)
Blue Grass: Shrine of Lystia - Sword of Lightning Speed (Ramia and Orthos)
Purple Drops: Shrine of Lystia - Sword of Lightning Speed (Holy Knight Atro), also the town's river if it comes down to it
Seals and Ores
Paladin/Fate Stones: Giant's Ruins - Rampage of the Giants
Earth Eyes: Blood Forest - The World Tree (Trents)
Why that stage for Earth Eyes? You can obtain a Lario if you're lucky, as well as an Earth Idol. In future stages, Trents come few and far between, and Dwarfs make more appearances. Trent encounter rate is quite high in this stage as well.
So yeah. My mono-Earth team, the spheres used, and the items needed. Any suggestions for improvements are welcomed, as well as any information that I might have missed. Until then...
GAH! FRONTIER HUNTER PLEASE RETURN!
Bye guys!
