And so it begins...

Yeah, apparently "at least a little while" meant a mere 2 days! I've been spamming fast track like crazy and when I saw earlier today that I had a shot at reaching hero lv 63 today, that only motivated me to spam fast tracks even more furiously. So my firsts in this fight... My first purple item, my first G6 hero, first win above Lv 60...
At it's core, this is not a very difficult fight; it's just that there are several annoying things that while individually aren't so bad, in combination can turn what should be a win into a lose: The sunstorm mage's stun + the cavalary's nocturnal blitzkrieg interrupt total defense, and strong enemy BMs + critical hits to knock out Crius while his total defense is down. As you can see, in my winning BR, I got interrupted by both and won anyway; but it was close. Still, with better luck, this could easily have been a (regular, not Narrow or Minor) Victory.
Here, you see something approaching, but not quite at, the full power of Crius at Lv 63. Crius was at hero Lv 63 (of course!), ren Lv 64. He had equipped Athena's Spear, Burning Lava, Pegasus and Blood Fountain all maxed to (G7)3. The only item not maxed was Spartan Charms (G6)10; considering maxing it out would do nothing but add 12 faculty, I figured it was ok to wait until tomorrow to max it. Crius also still had the same +80/+80/+1 wash he had against Hades. Prestige was M48; alas prestige is much harder to come by in Lv 80 areas, where it seems all the archenemies have finished faction maps.
Anyway, it will be another "little while" before I seriously challenge Maia. Crius is obviously not a good fit. I have someone else in mind though, who is currently in training...
