Yeah, the fact that you can now choose helpers means that if you have one weak link on the team, things are still manageable. I found that my Frey survived about half of my runs (I wish I had hippos on another spirit to boost Frey's HP), and as long as I had someone better as a helper (usually another shielder was best) things still went okay.

It was weird how variable my results were. I'd say about half the time I ran it in 0 crystals, and half the time it was either 1 or 2.

I really did like this quest for the amount of strategy. If you weren't really careful planning out your SS skills and when you used them, it would end up costing you. I was getting kind of bored of superbosses that you could only beat with a super-healing team and the patience to answer 50 questions in a row whittling the boss down.

Ended up with a rank 3/5 with one hippo unlocked...I wish they weren't so stingy about the number of hippos for the low-rank guys. If the rank 2/5 even just had 3 hippos I would've gone after unlocking 3 instead of 1. I'll think about hippoing up my 3/5 guy before working to make him 4/5...dunno.
