Stumbling Through the Candy Disaster
Alright, let’s be real, I was totally stuck on that Stage 6-3 in Girls Frontline 2, the one where the boss just keeps healing like crazy. My usual smash-and-grab tactics weren’t cutting it, and the confection buffs? Yeah, I kinda just threw candies randomly hoping for the best. Spoiler: it was a mess. My girls were barely lasting a minute. Felt like burning precious resources for nothing. I nearly threw my phone twice.
Time to Steal Some Brains
After wasting like 3 days worth of Stamina Potions (ouch!), I swallowed my pride and peeked at what the top players were doing. Scoured a few discussion boards, saw their team comps and confection setups popping up everywhere. Noticed a bunch of them kept mentioning specific Candy combinations. Saw names like “Strawberry Shortcake Slap” and “Bitter Chocolate Barrage” thrown around.
Their Go-To Picks Looked Like This:
- Team Anchor Candy: Almost everyone swore by this one candy that slowed the boss way down. Like putting it in molasses.
- Healer Lifesaver: This candy was boosting their healer characters like mad. Made ’em pump out health bars faster.
- Damage Sponge Candy: One specific candy seemed to be glued onto the character taking all the hits, making them way tougher.
- Glass Cannon Boost: Their main damage dealers were always decked out with this one candy adding a brutal extra punch.
My Trial-and-Error Circus
Okay, copying homework time. Went back to my stash. Found the “Anchor” candy (mine was some ‘Gooey Taffy Trap’) and slapped it on my tank. Grabbed the “Healer Lifesaver” (‘Sweetheart Glucose Shot’) for my medic girl. Dug out the “Sponge” candy (‘Rock Solid Jawbreaker’) for my off-tank. Saved the fanciest “Glass Cannon” candy (‘Raspberry Fury Bombs’) for my main shooter.
First try? Still failed. Got flattened. Figured out I was placing my tank wrong. Boss kept running past her. Ugh. Second try? Moved my tank, got the positioning better. Lasted longer, but my damage dealer still went down too quick trying to chase the boss. Third try? Focused fire better. Had my healer positioned safer. Kept my damage dealer behind cover more.
Finally Seeing Some Damn Results
On maybe the fourth or fifth attempt? It clicked. Boss finally got locked down long enough by the Anchor candy on my tank. The Sponge candy meant she actually survived. Healer was pumping health out like crazy thanks to her candy. And my damage dealer with the Fury Bombs? She finally chunked that boss down without getting instantly deleted. Cleared it! Barely squeaked by, but it worked!
End Result Looked Something Like This:
- Tank Role: Rock Solid Jawbreaker (Sponge) + Gooey Taffy Trap (Anchor)
- Healer Role: Sweetheart Glucose Shot (Lifesaver)
- DPS Role: Raspberry Fury Bombs (Glass Cannon Boost)
It’s definitely not foolproof for everything, and heck, there might be better combos out there, but copying this core idea from the top players got me past that stupid brick wall stage. Saved my sanity and my Stamina Potions. Gotta hand it to them for figuring out this candy synergy stuff!
