Clear Steps

This map is all around a bit rough. The bosses are awful (Nemhran is absolutely horrible to fight with a normal Echelon, thankfully Dreamer beats her somewhat easily), the enemies are annoying, and the mechanics are annoying. There might be some Alert RNG, but as long as you get Scarecrow and Mk153 into layer 2, it doesn't matter how long you take to get the Bossing Echelon in there. Mk153 is required because the bosses are at 50% Force Shields from the start. Scarecrow is there to lower the HP on Sana's escorts with her Shadows.

You need to keep your signal above 50, or your movement costs 2 AP. You need to bring Scarecrow (to reduce Sana's escorts' health) and HOC into layer 2, and all the Alert enemies make that annoying.

I almost managed to beat Sana with Judge here, and I imagine if Nemhran gave you better RNG and targeted the SWAP Dragoon with the first orbs, you could do this without fighting Sana on your own, only using HOC. Buuuut, that's pure rng and not worth attempting.

The Scarecrow Echelon has:
1 Bean Factory, because Gunners are awful.
1 Manticore, because we need some Armor tanking.
1+ Jaguar, because Jaguars can both bait (low hp) and move out of Troy missiles.

The bossing Echelon is just a Star exodia:
Star, obviously. Star is gotten for free from Main Quests, and when modded is quite decent overall. Other strong single-target ARs would also obviously work.
Sniper Fairy (you're only fighting the boss, Sniper is great)
3 HGs to buff Star, and she pretty much only wants Damage buffs.
Suomi, because Suomi is just OP. Other SMG tanks might work? but I wouldn't count on it.

The most important thing with Sana is putting your main DPS at pos4 because Sana smokes pos1/7.

The Sana here is a massively toned-down version of the Ranking Sana and doesn't have %hp threshold bombing runs, thankfully.

Parachute is free from Career Quests and it is expected that every player has one:
