Now that I have obtained Suomi Mod 3, it is time to finally complete the Prototype Fairy no HOC challenge for Core 8.

Like all other strongholds, Core 8 is an Electronic stage. Core 8 is a night stage. The objectives here are:
- Clear the stage
- Have at least 4 dolls remaining on the battlefield at the end of the battle (you can only lose or retreat one doll per fight)
- Have no HGs in combat echelon

ARs and SMGs are advantaged today, and RFs are disadvantaged today. SF HOCs get a 3x multiplier and G&K HOCs get a 2x multiplier.

The Battlefield Effects of this stage are:
- The echelon's leader gets 50% stat buffs
- Allies' ROF reduces by 20% while their damage increases by 20%
- Every 10 seconds, generate a shield that is equal to 30% of the echelon's lost HP. The shield lasts 6 seconds.

Each objective gives 5k points, and there are 6 waves in Core 8, and this totals up to 90k. You can get up to 84159 CE today, so this totals up to a maximum of 174159 points.

So, how do you stack this stage? Simple, the ideal stack contains (oath/unoath values if applicable):
- 26 ARs and 4 SMGs
- 29 PEQs, 20 chips, 23/24 HV ammo, 3 HP ammo and all relevant speqs
- BGM, AGS
- Either an oathed 3-4 petal Dreamer, QLZ or 2B with cursed chipboard

After 3 seasons of night AR stacking, many of you would've achieved this, or something close to this. Note that depending on who makes the stack, you may be using less chips (example: G41 speq). You may also have 6P62 in your stack, which is 1 less HV ammo used. If you have more SMGs in your stack, your HV/chip usage goes down too.

For people coping in their CE stacking, here are some general guidelines to follow:
- Ensure that you have at least enough PEQs for all your ARs. ARs lose up to over 1k CE if you replace PEQs with a scope. Use whatever PEQs you have: Green, Blue or even White ones.
- Most ARs max out their CE gain at 99% Night Vision. Most SMGs max out their CE gain at 95% Night Vision. Suomi maxes out her CE gain at 98% Night Vision. This might help you ration your Calibration Tickets
- If you have enough PEQs, prioritize the Gold ones on ARs. SMGs can cope with lower rarity PEQs or a Silencer instead of a PEQ
- Once you run out of Chips, you cope stack ARs with T-exos or use more SMGs instead
- Angelica's ideal CE uses a Chip instead of her speq. However, if you do not have enough chips, you can use her speq instead, and use that chip on a different doll

Note that since this is a night stage, you can only use at most 1 SF HOC with the Night Vision accuracy chip for ideal CE stacking. But this is not relevant for 99.999% of players today. Most of you do not have an oathed 3-petal Dreamer/Architect, so bring your 3 highest CE G&K HOCs. If you're struggling to clear the waves, bring these 3: BGM/AT-4/Mk153, 2B and PP-93

Now, how do you clear this? Simple, just use an ARSMG all the way. The waves here are far, far easier than the ones in Advanced 8. It's easy enough that you can Prototype Fairy No HOC all of Core 8. This video shows how you can do this. I used:
- Suomi Mod 3 as leader
- RO Mod 3, AN-94 Mod 3, Ribey Mod 3 and 416 Mod 3

If you have G11 Mod 2+ or AK-15 Mod 2+, they will be better than AN-94 Mod 2+ for this task.

Wave 1 is the hardest wave for Proto no HOC. I had to swap between RO and Suomi to tank the Nyto SMGs. Once I've weakened the wave, Suomi has enough HP shields to tank the rest.

Waves 2-4 are easy enough for Suomi to infinite tank those waves.

Wave 5 is where the choice to use 416 Mod shows. With a little bit of kiting, you can get the Swap Jaegers and Swap Vespids to cluster together. Then, a grenade from 416 will wipe them all out, making the rest of the wave trivial to defeat.

Wave 6 is easy enough for Suomi to infinite tank it. Man, Suomi Mod makes the Proto No HOC challenge way too easy.
