Well, I'm back with a vengance, and what better way to start than the end of Marcus being the primary attacker and the start of Thany being large and in charge! I've made a few executive decisions that should improve optimisation in the long run.

First, as you see, I've kept Thany and Roy together for as long as I could. This should give me plenty of support turns for that required C rating. Second, I only used two attackers (previous versions used at least 3), so I saved time not using more units.

The main decision was to level Thany to L12 rather than L11, so she can not only have improved stats, making the future boss kills easier, but specifically in Chapter 9, being able to ORKO Scott (the boss) with the Slim Sword, going towards that sword rank early.

I expected to be behind in terms of frame count, and I am, being 3440 frames behind (a loss of 1432 frames in this chapter). From here on Thany will be making up massive savings given she doesn't worry about terrain and faces much less combat than Alan.

Turn 1: Roy takes the Hammer from Ward, and then gives it to Marcus in exchange for the Rapier. Roy also collects the Silver Lance, Thany will need it in future so it's best to take it now. Thany grabs the Slim Sword from Alan, and moves adjacent to Roy to start the support gains. Marcus leads the combat charge, taking out the enemies he can reach.

Turn 2: Marcus' Hand Axe has 1 use left, so he switches to a fresh one for the enemies here. Thany picks up Roy and follows behind.

Turn 3: Thany levels off the armor, and gains HP/Str/Skl/Luk. Marcus can't reach anyone on player phase, but he does take 3 enemy kills on EP, avoiding the OHKO from the Horseslayer knight. Marcus also grabs the Chest Key.

Turn 4: Marcus takes the archer out so he can't go for Thany.

Turn 5: More advancement and enemy killing.

Turn 6: Marcus switches to the other fresh Hand Axe for the enemies here. I luck out with the crit here.

Turn 7: Marcus needs to move around the archer to advance. Thany takes the remaining knight out on EP.

Turn 8: Moves here are used to set up the next set of crits

Turn 9: Thany is forced to drop Roy to get an earlier crit, but she'd have to drop him anyway. The aircalibur mage OHKOs her, so she needed to avoid him. Marcus stomps the Killer Lance knight with the Hammer.

Turn 10: Thany and Roy advance adjacent. Marcus moves towards the throne. Cath and the other thief appear.

Turn 11: Roy levels to L4, gaining HP/Skl/Luk. Thany kills Cath finishing adjacent to Roy. Marcus grabs a mage kill on EP.

Turn 12: Hammer crit on Leygance, the Skill stat was required to have 1% chance. Thany scoops up Roy again.

Turn 13: Marcus doesn't kill the last mage so Thany can hit L12, instead he moves towards the Elysian Whip chest. Thany drops Roy.

Turn 14: Roy moves again into position for support turns, while Thany takes the very last knight out. Marcus collects the whip, and again eats an EP attack.

Turn 15: Thany levels off the mage, gaining HP/Str/Skl/Luck. Marcus trades the whip to Thany, Roy seizes.
