Can I beat 40 Stamina Mihawk? Looking for advice and suggestions!

[ECO PIRATES]

I was wondering if my team would be able to tackle the mob stages for 40 stamina Mihawk. Not worried about Mihawk himself  since the laboon vivi combo should be 100% given that I reach Mihawk and time isn't a concern (I am prepared for the 1 hour battle).

This the team I plan to use against 40 Stamina Mihawk, "1" being the captain, and "6" being the planned friend.

SHIP: Merry Go at +270 HP and 1.2x Attack
1. Level 10 Laboon -> Force
2. Level 25 Cannoneer (Punk Black Cat Pirates) ->Int
3. Level 25 Saber Punk (Black Cat Pirates) -> Dex
4. Level 25 Knuckle Punk (Black Cat Pirates) -> Force
5. Level 46 Arlong (Non-evolved, might evolve and power up to level 5 before Mihawk, depends on my next turtle run xD) -> Force
6. Hopefully a level 62 or higher 5* Vivi -> Psy

Team's total HP (without Vivi): 270 + 2,429 = 2,699
Team's total Atk (without Vivi): 336 + 621 + 592 + 612 + 866 = 3,027

I chose to use a few Black Cat Pirates because of their low HP/Attk ratio, almost 1:2 respectively!

Am I ready to take on 40 Stamina Mihawk? Feel free to comment! Any advice and suggestions would be gladly appreciated!

Also, I am looking for 5* Vivi (Princess Vivi) friends, preferable level 62 or higher!

I will have Laboon as my lead for the entire Mihawk event but until then, I usually rotate my lead between Sanji v2, Ashura Zoro, G2 Luffy, Arlong, and Black cat pirates on turtle days (Mondays).

My friend ID is: 245,092,389

Feel free to add me and thanks in advance!

I guess if your calculations are correct and that you can get the right lvl vivi, you should be able to beat 40 stam. Just beware that on prior stages, you may die if you get hit by two or more enemies in one turn. I'm saving some devil fruits in case that happens, so I can revive, get to Mihawk and zombie lol

I would run a str crab (which has 1:6 hp/atk) or some other str pirate rather than the int or dex ones as double damage most likely puts those units as higher total damage so you can clear mihawk a bit quicker.

@sonofajelly123

Yea, I totally agree with you! I should have 8 rainbow fruits by the time Mihawk arrives, assuming its the 21st.

@pank

I thought about running crabs, but chose to replace them with the black cat pirates because I had HP to spare! It's true that crabs have better HP/Attk ratios, but it's unfortunate that their max stats won't go any higher than 50 HP and 300 Attk.  Also, apart from Arlong who is already in my team, I don't have any strength units that have less than 850 hp, or any pair of strength units that would combine to 850 hp for that matter, which would result in a waste of possible hp with respect to the Vivi i plan on using. Furthermore, 3 crabs would combine a total of 900 attk, while my black cats yield a total of approx 1825, more than double of what the crabs could offer. Moreover, i agree that having more str characters would reduce clear time however, i'm going to have a tough time against blue units and I also don't have 2 other str pirates that wouldn't put me over the hp requirement of the Vivi Laboon combo. Last but not least, i chose to build a team using different color units except blue (because blue sucks against Mihawk's green) so that enemies that bind will chose to lock instead of attacking me, which will decrease the odds that i'll need to spend a gem for a revival as I gain an extra turn to attack them before they attack me (as long as I kill the green unit that locks red units so he doesn't lock half my team xD).

Nevertheless, thanks for your suggestions and comments!

Does the cannon punk deal more than 600 damage? Same with the dex guy because I honestly didn't think the little pirates would deal that much damage. You aren't wasting hp if you are increasing your overall damage. You have to keep in mind that STR crab will deal 600 in atk to mihawk due to the game mechanics.

For example, if you had str crab and str dragon on your team you would be effectively dealing 1600 in atk for only 550 hp which I highly doubt those 2 pirates match.

@pank

Yea the knuckle dude (red one) does more than the crab and dragon (not combined) if you apply the game mechanics (red is good against green, green is good against blue etc.) And i if i use all red, won't i have a hard time killing blue units, and risk dying more cause the second last mob won't have anything to lock and as a result will all attack me instead? I want to spend the least amount of gems possible.
