Arknights Welfare SS-EX-5 Clear, Challenge Mode

Описание: Somniloquium Serenum SS-EX-5, Chapter 5: Velvet Comforter, Challenge Mode, cleared using only Welfare operators.

I feel very foolish, but I confess that I did not know until this stage that the Slumber Companion Beasts did not cost you life points when they enter your gate if they are not carrying anyone. I had to go on the internet to have someone explain it to me. I just do not understand the manualese of the info pages without someone translating into plain language. Anyone else have this difficulty, or is it just me?

Anyway, once I figured this out, I was able to clear this stage fairly simply. I created a kill zone at the enemy gates. I used Matsukiri and Puzzle to generate DP. Gladiia added damage and blocked the gate access from that side. Astgenne and Radian, with her S3 summons, dealt arts damage. I add Jieyun for some physical damage, though I am not sure if she was needed. When I could, I swapped Sankta Miksaparato for Puzzle and let his S3 booms help clear out enemies around him. I did lose him to a Slumber Companion Beast at one point, but Gladiia's S3 skill kept the Beast from running away, releasing Sankta Miksaparato, so I could deploy him again. Lumen kept everyone alive, more or less. And that was it.
