Um. i hate to discredit myself. but i didnt show proof, but did it take forever? yes. Im sure someone else is capable of it.

i have no life, it took ages, it is all about playing off your support though. that much is true. you can only really get to ascension 2 on one character of your choice due to exp limitations (i had a Carmilla), and for a lot of the game i was borrowing Jeanne Alts which seem very popular, using her whole kit at once gives crazy burst damage that can deal with most threats thoughout the run.

You shouldnt need continues until you hit ex missions, though i used 2 on bosses, allowing me to get past milestones. I had a lot of fun using a jack the ripper, which let me beat rider ex mission and asked for friend, the guy accepted, and he had a jeane (lv92, 7,1,2 skills). This was slightly better than using a lv100 Jeanne (10/10/10), as it gives you access to the noble phantasm. as well as, a level 100 Okita (6,1,2) (probably his best spirit), and well, lv90 jack. at that point, most ex missions are possible without continues. Some still arent though, that burns a few continues, but you only need to beat each of those once.

as for the Iri Missions, some are very impossible without a continue, but some seem easy by comparison, the fire one, being a beserker, dies very quickly, and even though its a beserker, she doesnt deal much damage (making killing the crystal golems an appealing strategy). The Air one i pretty much had to use a continue every time, even though it was the first one i was able to fight.

One thing that's very important, is around the point where Arank missions are being unlocked, you need to acquire as many copies of "His Rightful Place" as possible, or you will earn nowhere near enough medallions, and equip them to as many people as possible, even if you sacrifice quality 3star spirits for 1star garbage. You're better off farming B rank missions loaded with those, than Arank missions without any at all.

AP is a massive issue, but it really comes down to straightforward logic. Losing is extremely bad. at low levels you constantly get your AP back from leveling up... as long as you keep winning. a loss can put you down for 3-6 hours (depending on how late you are in the run). So a lot of the time i only had 2-3 attempts at a level before i was forced to decide if it was possible without a form of continue.

As for the slight discreprancy between continues required and saint quartz used. Command spells are used as well.

I enjoyed a lot of the run. because i hadnt played the game before, and i was interested in the story.
