[Sangokushi Taisen DS] How to Beat the Final Battle of the Practice Mode with Super Hard Setting?

I just saw this in a forum. Somebody is having problem with the final battle of the practice mode with super hard setting. So let me try my best to dissect this battle and see what the player can do about it.

So here are the 8 cards that the enemy in the 10th battle is going to use.











Actually I don't have one of them as well. It only showed how strong this enemy deck is. The missing one I don't have is the card with "Wu 012" as its ID. It is a cost 3 archer card with hidden ability and the skill of using a strong massive fire attack. However, after the fire attack is used, the card will be slashed automatically as well.

So how do we beat this deck? The key is this card below.





This is what I called the Ferrari of this game. It is a siege card with a skill costing only 2 morale units and increases its speed dramatically. So the plan then is to set up a wall of defense with cards that have low cost, high intelligence point, hidden ability to pull off surprise attack. At the very least, you need five of them. Which five of them is really your choice. As you see, half of the enemy cards are low intelligence high attack cards so the plan is to use this wall of defense to kill as many of these low intelligence enemy cards as possible (with surprise attack) and then regroup the forces to occupy the remaining enemy cards. This will buy you enough time for the Ferrari to go hit the enemy castle and take it down.

One thing to remember is that one of the enemy cards can set a barrier. So you need to look out for the best clear path for your Ferrari to hit the castle wall. You don't always need to hit the castle gate because it is probably well-guarded by the barrier. So don't waste time trying to tear the barrier down with your Ferrari. Your best chance is to hide your Ferrari inside your own castle and thus you can move it around instantly to choose the best straight line when the battle unfolds.

Another thing to look out is the hidden enemy card. Its fire attack can very likely take down your Ferrari as well. So you will need some luck for the AI to not choose your Ferrari as the target, too.

Good stuff here. I have appreciated both articles on Sangokushi Taisen DS. I work to help others understand Japanese games but haven't had the time to write up a good translation of this game yet. I appreciate you doing all this hard work. Thank you and please continue.
