Am I the only one who thinks that the Lava Tube and Tundra Beelzebub difficulty quests are far more difficult than the Castle Gates one? Those Chimeras in the Tundra level and this fucking dragon in the Lava level are killing me if I don't use this equipment stuff. Or is it just a problem with my strategy?

I better show you what I field:

Castle Gates: Nero Bride (for the final battle), Kintoki Rider, Support Drake (to clear the Casters), Waver (to power up Nero as soon as Kintoki falls), Fergus (to finish Vlad up) and a last slot that never comes to pass.

Lava Tube: Carmilla, (Waver or Nero, Nero never survived long enough to do anything, so I hoped Waver could at least use his skills to ensure the dragon being killed immediately), Support Cleopatra, Bikini Scathach, Lu Bu (I don't have any more Assassins and grow desparate), Elizabeth Brave

Tundra: Nero Bride, Waver, Single Target Saber as Support (to snipe Lancelot, so I take Saber Lancelot most of the time for the Arts and the giggles), Fergus, Saber Gilles, Elizabeth Brave

Castle Gates is a cakewalk with that line-up despite Vlad dishing out a crapton of damage.

Lava Tube is risky without a Buster buff. Carmilla can't take out the dragon on her own, but I can't fire Cleopatra's NP because I need it to clear the Golems accompanying Alexander. Damned if I do, damned if I don't, so to speak. If I fire Cleo's NP, the Golems thrash me. If I don't, the dragon dishes out an absurd amount of damage, even more than the Zerks, in spite of class disadvantage. Alexander is harmless in comparison.

Tundra is always an insanely close call, because I received far too much damage from the Chimera's to protect Nero, Waver and Lancelot. When it comes down to a last stand with Fergus and Liz, I know something went very wrong. And I don't dare to take an AoE support because that one never had his NP ready in the second stage, but instead cleared Lancelot's puny guard, giving him far more opportunity to thrash me when he is on his own.

Any ideas what I do wrong? Or rather, what are your strategies?
