Guild of Monster Girls: Gold Vacation Decadence EX3 3-Star Clear

You can clear Gold Vacation Decadence EX3 with a full 3-star rating in Guild of Monster Girls using a budget team of seven R-rank units. This clear requires zero potential unlocks and relies entirely on sub-skills earned through the main story scenario. By managing your deployment costs early and anchoring the primary chokepoint with physical mitigation, you can defeat every wave without relying on high-rarity units.

Recommended 7-Unit Budget Setup

Because low-rarity units have minimal deployment costs, an all-R roster allows you to deploy responses quickly without depleting your cost gauge.

The core damage engine relies on Periri and Tena. Equipping both with Attack Power Boost II gives their basic attacks enough physical penetration to defeat event enemies without potential stat cushions. Asta provides the primary frontline defense, using Physical DEF Boost II to absorb melee damage from heavy bruisers. Potel uses Last Stand (Attack) II to scale offensive pressure as incoming damage spikes.

Step-by-Step Deployment Order

EX3 spawns swift runners along perimeter lanes immediately, making rapid early placement critical.

1. Deploy your Auxiliary Vanguard: Place your low-cost vanguard at the central intersection immediately to generate deployment points and catch the first advance runners.
2. Position Periri: Place Periri on the primary elevated ranged tile overlooking the approach lane. Her range allows her to weaken runners before they hit your frontline blocker.
3. Deploy Tena: As soon as points regenerate, place Tena on the adjacent elevated tile to establish an overlapping ranged crossfire zone.
4. Anchor with Asta: Place Asta directly at the primary chokepoint just as the first heavy melee units enter the central path. Placing her too early starves your economy, while placing her too late leads to leaked enemies.
5. Establish Sustain: Immediately deploy your Backline Healer in range of Asta to stabilize her against incoming melee hits.
6. Deploy Potel and Reserve Striker: Fill the remaining tiles with Potel and your reserve cleanup unit to add offensive pressure across the central lane.

Frontline Survival and Skill Timing

Holding the bottleneck against EX3's armored bruisers depends on syncing offensive burst windows with enemy groupings:

• Staggered Skill Activations: Do not waste active abilities on standard fodder. Hold Periri and Tena's attack skills until the first cluster of heavy armored bruisers reaches Asta. Activating their burst skills simultaneously eliminates the front row before secondary ranged mobs arrive.
• Potel's Defensive Scaling: Save Potel's active ability for the second major elite wave. When multiple durable enemies stack on Asta, Potel's Last Stand (Attack) II triggers under high-pressure conditions, providing extra damage output to clear the crowd before incoming damage overwhelms your healer.
• Maintaining the Blockade: Asta must stay centered in your healer's coverage circle throughout the fight. With zero potential awakenings, she lacks emergency revival traits and relies strictly on static defense and steady recovery.

Troubleshooting Common Failures

• Enemies leaking past the perimeter: If swift runners bypass your ranged units early, check that Periri and Tena have Attack Power Boost II equipped. Leaving sub-skill slots empty or running Level 1 baseline skills prevents them from piercing stage armor values.
• Frontline collapses before healers deploy: If Asta falls early in the wave, you likely deployed her before securing enough deployment points for your healer. Delay Asta's placement until the first heavy mob is roughly two tiles away from your vanguard, ensuring you have enough points banked to summon your healer right behind her.
