Sword of Convallaria - Stage 10 Weaponry Trial 2 Lvl 65 at Lvl 44 with Maitha as F2P (NO Gloria)

Don't forget to leave a like if I was helpful. :)

Clear of Trial 2 Stage 10 Level 65 with Lvl 44 Units as Full F2P.
Started 3 weeks ago on 19th of August 2024 with the Edda Banner so I don't have Gloria and also no Inanna.

Units:
Maitha Rank 3 (got a dupe... but does nothing for the run)
Rawiyah Rank 3
Outlaw Guard
Papal Guard
Knighted Guard

Tactics:
March Command Rank 2
Flag of Convallaria Rank 3

Do NOT skill the healing reaction on Papal Guard. It was a huge mistake.
The amount of tries I needed just because sometimes the boss loves to crit. The run would be 10 times easier if I had skilled the Ranged Attack Reduction Reaction instead of the Dmg Red 2 one when healed.
Definitely take the right one where you get 25% Dmg Reduction from Ranged attacks. It's much better for this boss.
Maitha also has no Co-Defense which would make the healing of other characters easier.
Got scammed by the beginner chart linked in the official discord (the one that shows what to skill for rare units).

Unique Coat on Papal Guard would have solved the problem too, but I really wanted to clear the run without investing into that Coat that is solely used for Trial 2.

Make sure to use Offensive Stance twice over multiple turns, it stacks.

Gloria makes this Trial a breeze so definitely use her if you have it. All the issues with AoE, movement and extra Def are non-existent with her.

But why does this strategy with Maitha work? The cross lightning attack from the boss does exactly 60% HP damage and Maitha always heals 20% on her AoE heal + 20% heal from passive skill on the lowest HP character. Paired with Gibbous moon which also heals 20% every turn on characters that are injured basically makes them heal 60% every time.
Normally this wouldn't be enough to sustain everyone, but Rawiyah heals herself from trait and Another Pint which enables this strategy to even work in the first place.

Shoutout to @NemiOnTop for his crazy discovery of this type of run and @whatisausername6325 & @azer.gaming for overall tactics and inspiration!
