Hyrule Warriors A-ranking, no power-up potions. More notes in the annotations!

This is one of the tougher A-ranks I think. While the recommended element softens the blows a little, you'll fight many morale-boosted enemies and there's a lot of targets to take down. Pretty much all the weapons you're originally locked into for this mission are solid choices for different reasons though. The Rapier has the Recommended Element for more damage, the Baton has easy fights against Ruto and Lana, and Cia is generally awesome. The Dominion Rod shouldn't be too bad either since it can pull in Poes who leave themselves open to Weak Point Smash using the Red Statue jab.

You have a heart piece to collect using Cia, so I went with that. As always with Poes, don't use attacks you'll have trouble cancelling out of since you want to get the WPS when the chance presents itself, and that chance comes very often.

Inflicting Darkness X's helps you get through the high enemy defense in this mission. I recently heard about a setup where you knock officers into several of the wells you set up using C5, and I tried using that as my main officer fighting tactic this time. Even if you only manage to knock them into 2 wells, the damage is solid and you inflict Darkness X's easily, and there's a good chance that it'll be there when you go for the Weak Point Smash. It probably works better if you can clear out the mooks around you or push the enemy officer out of the keep they're tied to, so you don't waste the wells on small fry.

Most of my damage taken came from mooks this time; 3/4th of a heart came from Lana, and the rest was mooks. I was a little sloppy about approaching them in this run, and I especially shouldn't have used C3 when there's all these enemies around me I can't see, including mooks who throw bones. It's quite easy to get surrounded because of where most of the fighting takes place, so make good use of C2 and your Special Attack to clear space.

Oh, there's another full magic refill in the green pot inside the Enemy Base I think. If I found the first refill sooner I would've used it during the brawl with 5+ officers, then used the other one for Lana. I don't know which Poes drop them though.
