Has anyone done the challenge quest with Medea Lily?

Hello,

Recently I have been curious about her usefulness and I figured given the long and hard nature of the Dantes final challenge she might do okay.

My current assessment based on a friend one I used (note: She a had a useless CE on her) and I find her very ineffective especially compared to hans who can provide defense buffs. Her NP gain also leaves much to be desired as well and it all makes her ineffective for long term fighting where healing is actually needed.

In any case, has anyone done it? What is was your overall assessment and what did you need to give her to function?

Can't say that I've tried her on this chellenge yet, but I imagine that it would be too difficult to pull off unless paired up with Mash or Waver. As for CE, for the Dante challenge I would suggest equipping her with ones catered towards NP Gain or Defense. Magical Girl of Sapphire puts her at a good start and can save her a turn to use her NP gauge filling skill right after her first Pain Breaker. And the more times she can fill up her NP, the more times she can provide a consistent Arts chain combo with other servants. "Holy Shroud of Magdalene" would be a pretty effective CE for her too since every battle has at least one Male servant to fight, and an extra 20-30% defense against Males might actually come in handy this time around. Overall, she's a servant more geared toward enemies that wreck teams using debuffs and poisons, so even though she can heal, she won't be effective for long without a shielder to back up her longevity.

If you want to further experiment with her on this, I can provide you with my own M-Lily to try out. I managed to get her to NP5 ever since the Prisma Codes event, so she can heal a good 6000hp at a time.

Added. Thank you.

Yes, I actually use shroud of Magdalene on my Hans to help him survive. The problem though is that compared to Hans, M Lily has much lower NP gain and her heal isn't something you can use when everyone is at full HP unlike Hans who provides HP is small bits and also gives multiple other benefits.

In any case, I am overall just trying to see what other support option there are compared to Merlin who I used and was completely astounded by how powerful he was.

Also am exploring due to the free four we might get further down the road.

edit: In game name is Wings

I just finished the challenge with her. Used her along with Black-grail Emiya and Mash in the front lines. I made it as far as the fourth room before I had to switch out Mash for an emergency Merlin. Had I equipped M-Lily with the NP gain CE, I probably could have kept the camelot wall up a tad longer. Even so, I managed to keep all the party members alive even against Dantes, while also keeping M-Lily in the front lines the entire time with no command spells wasted either. But yeah, a ladder-like quest such as this was suited more for healing-per turn strategies rather than saving single time heals.

I ran her for pure heals but Irisviel probably would have been a better choice, looking back. Medea Lily is more valuable for her debuff cleanse, which is not really needed for this.

My comp was Gilgamesh, Hans, Support Merlin, Nightingale, Medea Lily, and Mashu. I still ended up needing to use command spells but yeah, I did it.

I used her bedause she was very useful in nerofest. Sadly what ended up happening was the enemies kept ganging up on her so i had to keep using heals to keep her alive until she eventually died, david ended up putting in more work

I used gil, medea lily, david, musashi, support merlin and mash
