A few reminders...
1- Don't buy any accessories for the units. Its okay to give them the normal ones that can be found on the world map.
2- Try to keep BR as low as possible during the base battles, holy plain, Nora's mission and nest of eagles by achieving ally deaths.
3- Try to win all battles with all allies alive.
4- Do not turn off guest units' arts.
5- Battles where you don't have any control over rush, like the gaslin caves, ruins of robelia castle and dilmoor main quests, if rush is getting a normal command instead of an art, then the union will get to do the first command only(which is normal attacks). This should also help in increasing turns.
6- Do base battles in the numeric,increasing difficulty order. Start with 1 and end with 6
7- Until you get reviving units, its better to end the battle with some units dead rather than all-alive, just for the sake of maintaining low BR. In this case, its better to use placeholders in active party and have them killed. The actual units will remain in reserve(since reserve units gain stats, but dead units don't). For example- I have to do the blackdale battle now. I know that rush can survive the battle since he has good weapons at this point(also, if he dies, then its game over). I want to use baulson in this battle. But I know that anyone accompanying me to this battle will die(I don't have reviving arts at this point, and I don't care about what happens to the guest units). So I will keep baulson in reserve and use mcgrady and oakes as active units(both of them won't be used in my final party, but baulson will be used).
Lets use rush in comet and put mcgrady and oakes in position 1 and 4 in basket formation.
So how this will help me?
- Baulson will gain stats(Reserve)
- Rush will gain stats(Active and alive at the end of the battle)
- BR will be maintained well(As mcgrady and oakes will die).
So no harm done.
8- In baulson's quest, rush is used solo in comet and mcgrady and oakes are sacrificed to facilitate BR optimization.
9- Catacombs, enter and exit to unlock nora.
10- Catacombs main mission, kill the 2 qsitis that block the door one-by-one, while still using mystic seal, then exit. This is done to make sure that the units request their final tier weapons that's been crafted for them. This is done to make sure that the final four qsitis that block the last door can be easily killed in mystic seal formation. Its possible to achieve ~ 20 turns here.
11- Violet's second quest, can be done with mystic seal, and with good number of turns. Just need to attempt it when the maximum unit limit is increased to 12.
12- Enter and exit aqueducts to unlock gaou.
13- Violet's first quest, can be done by removing placeholders and with some ally deaths(notably the guest union), good number of turns too.
A few things that I can do earlier...
1- Unlock Aveclyff upon entering Dilmoor for the first time.
