Talk:Christmas 2017 Event (US)/@comment-70.70.3.71-20171202193948

Could  someone give advice I am new to the game. I am lvl 37(only 62 Max AP) the party i am using is Hercules lvl 50, Mashu lvl 30, Phantom of the  opera lvl 35, Robin hood lvl 31 and David lvl 7. For support i've been using a friends Zhuge Liang lvl 100. I have a roughly 70% win rate on the 30 Ap quest and ive only done the 40Ap Quest once and barely won once(miraculously with only lvl 7 david left alive with ~700hp). my main issue is that the Riders in The 30 and 40AP quests destroy Zhuge Liang and everything falls apart after. The secondary  issue is that i can't  upgrade Hercules or Mashu because i can't ascend them yet. I was planning on using Santa alter in my main party but it seems i can't unlock her till day 6. Yes i do have enough Rider upgrade material saved up for her.

So can i optimize my party? Should i spend a day or 2 trying to ascend Mashu or hercules instead of doing the event? I feel like the 50 AP quest will be doable because  there are no real Riders am i crazy? and should I use my second Holy Night CE on Hercules instead of Verdant Sound of Destruction lvl 20(+15% buster Damage feels essential)?
