and lead should be something that can kill perna

tough rose
#

you have sagar

#

do you know if anyone else in guild does

tough rose
tough rose
#

trying to brainstorm what we're stacking here

twin gate
#

its not really special in any way but its okay enough

#

just make sure betta goes last to get the sick value of immunity

#

before sagar procs out of it

tough rose
#

let me look at what defenses you have actually

twin gate
#

me?

#

one sec

tough rose
#

i'm checking unni's

#

if you're up to help brainstorm it'd be awesome

twin gate
#

oh

#

i thought you meant my defenses

#

im like wtf

tough rose
#

hahaha

#

:D

twin gate
#

iw as gonna ask how the hell ur gonna see mine lmao

tough rose
#

yeah one sec nup

#

omw

#

@gaunt torrent can you make a cdmg triana?

gaunt torrent
#

hmm what do you have in mind?

tough rose
#

that shit is god slayer

#

well

gaunt torrent
#

i use her a lot for utility so not keen

tough rose
#

your CVT will actually start getting wins

#

err

gaunt torrent
#

ahh true

tough rose
#

that sounds rude over text, sorry, not meant to

gaunt torrent
#

im giving up on cvt, too easy to counter

tough rose
#

so what's the plan then? seara orion rakan +?

#

khmun vigor skogul?

gaunt torrent
#

seara orion rakan
tesarion riley theomars
carcano iris triana (just cause i have the units)
some teams that use jubelle and liu mei

tough rose
#

i'm still getting some wins with CVT

#

could do seara raoq iris also

gaunt torrent
#

im going from seara raoq iris to seara orion rakan haha

tough rose
#

ahhhh

#

oh

#

you're one of the only people that has good runed defense!

gaunt torrent
#

haha yeah

#

but it's a lot of work

tough rose
#

ye

gaunt torrent
#

so my defence runes rn

#

are like 1 year old

tough rose
#

FRR this saturday!

gaunt torrent
#

i have so much mana it doesn't matter xd

#

but yeah, gonna update runes and hopefully start winning again

tough rose
#

Seara orion rakan
Feng coco woosa
Khmun vigor skogul
Carcano eshir triana

#

this is what i'm gonna do after FRR

gaunt torrent
#

still cdmg triana?

tough rose
#

yup

#

well

#

look at my triana

#

she's on pretty good runes

#

she's not squishy

cursive canyonBOT
#

Here are the requested monsters.

Full views:
#1 Triana
#2 Triana

#1 Violent, Will

SPD, HP%, HP%

HP: 35943
DEF: 1181
ATK: 1034
SPD: 192
CR: 30%
CD: 50%
ACC: 10%
RES: 106%
EHP: 189545

CD: 137%

EHP: 177739
Effcy: 109.25%

tough rose
#

she has my best runes so

twin gate
#

sec but sure

tough rose
#

"seara orion rakan
tesarion riley theomars
carcano iris triana (just cause i have the units)
some teams that use jubelle and liu mei"

#

this is what he is planning but i think we can do better than team #2 at the very least

twin gate
#

well harm vigor jubelle imo is decent

#

jubelle is kinda terrifying on cr to tank

#

cause he just randomly hits extremely fking hard

#

so thats one jubelle team

#

for lm you can run like chandra lm perna

#

pretty meta defense and is pretty solid imo

#

better with max resist chandra and a tanky lm

tough rose
#

wait there's a perna in here?

#

wtf

twin gate
#

ya

tough rose
#

you right though

#

oh my god i hate chandra LM perna

#

that shit is unfair

twin gate
#

but yeah as for the theo defense - theo betta sagar is prolly the best one of the options here, alternatively you could run something like momo betta theo but i think momo has the issue of just ramping too slow compared to sagar who can just explode

#

idk if we're trying to maximize options, because logistically if we're trying to max the amount out here possible then momo betta theo and then nana eshir sagar are two defenses (but i think honestly i'd just run the theo betta sagar and leave momo for stuff like isgw where people cant spam the same bruiser/tesa/tiana stuff at it every time)

gaunt torrent
#

if that's the case i could do like
seara orion rakan
chandra lm perna
theo betta sagar?
carcano iris triana
harmonia vigor jubelle

twin gate
#

yeah, that looks decent

#

just make sure the 4*s your guild can stack similar stuff

#

because one-offs of those aren't too hard to beat but a full tower or two repeatedly can get problematic

#

also food for thought - you do have a mo long just kinda sitting around, he's definitely imo still one of the top siege defense units

so if your guild does decide to switch to something with mo - mo betta x is generally solid imo, mo molly x as well but i feel like thats fallen off due to the prevalance of nonstop destroy bruisers

i.e. mo betta sagar might be worth trying out, just work with your guildmates on that and see if y'all can make that. swapping theo back to that theo riley tesa and putting it in backline would be okay in that case if y'all go for a more mo-focused front

gaunt torrent
#

would 2 mo betta X defences + fill rest with some mo-based defence be enough?

#

looking at guild defences, best i can see is 2, maybe 3

#

also, thoughts on jubelle vigor lm? ive seen this around and it might be easier on my runes than having 2 separate teams

twin gate
#

only 25 (if that) 4* defenses you'll generally need, versus well over 70 normal defenses

twin gate
gaunt torrent
#

unless we do like a mo betta/molly mix

tranquil junco
#

Mix with molly

#

Molly is better anyways

twin gate
#

i feel like mo molly is just ridiculously common and easy to bruiser now though

#

esp if they're running ST units like sagar +1

tranquil junco
#

But yeah Theo would be better tbh

gaunt torrent
twin gate
#

ah in that case stack with guild

#

just seems like a lot of 4*

tough rose
#

Copper bulldozer imesety -> Feng Vigor Ferimon
Boost Copper -> kill vigor so no -crit, kill feng is the way, correct?

gaunt torrent
gaunt torrent
twin gate
#

Or hell he might cut the dozer and strip voke him

tough rose
#

just lushen it?

twin gate
#

Lushen is okay since the only person who might live is fermi if you +water

#

And he's got the most favorable element here - add a teon to tank fermi and a carc to cleanup (or any atk lead if we're not respecting the speed vigor threat)

gaunt torrent
#

is sagar runed vio spd/cd/hp?

twin gate
#

spd hp hp with cr/def/atk/acc subs

#

generally

#

with defbreak its not too important to get cd due to him doing pretty solid damage as is

tough rose
#

@full dragon Could I do CR on khmun instead of CDMG?

#

Trying to get decent EHP and some crit here and struggling

#

Trying to rune khmun for khmun skogul vigor

tough rose
#

I can grind a bit more HP and def on this one

#

this is without artys

twin gate
#

You can go spd HP HP or spd crate HP all are viable just make sure you have some crit rate

#

For KVS you can probably even drop down to the 239 tick

unique flame
unique flame
tough rose
#

hold on

#

will post it

unique flame
#

don't show builds with towers/lead skills

tough rose
#

alright

unique flame
#

people want to see what the runes are, the assumption is that the lead/towers are never included

tough rose
#

got it.

#

this rune can still be grinded for a bit more here

unique flame
#

the cd build is ok if you want to try it

tough rose
#

this is the only other one missing a grind

unique flame
#

my preference is always HP

tough rose
#

i saw my guild mate have insane success with worse runes and a similar build

#

so i wanted to give that a shot

unique flame
#

are you already running this def and its not working?

tough rose
#

no! i'm re setting up my defenses

#

just finished doing so

unique flame
#

someone having success with a certain build doesn't necessarily mean its a great build

tough rose
#

of course

unique flame
#

khmun is just op you can rune him on whatever and he'll still get you wins

tough rose
#

i just wanted to try it out and see how it works

tranquil junco
#

A secret is you can do decent cr and then cd right side

tough rose
#

@unique flame i couldn't really manage any fast swift sets with decent stats. that is the best i could do. i'm assuming violent is a better option here?

#

i went for HP stacking on rakan to try to trap garo draco kahli

#

this was the best icould make otherwise, I think.

twin gate
unique flame
#

i don't think its worth making a super tank rakan

#

at lower levels

twin gate
#

because with no crit rate it wont be a threat

unique flame
#

going hp/hp/hp is fine but you still need cr

twin gate
#

it can even be on crit rate but you definitely need some crate

#

tbh idk what rank y'all are

tough rose
#

alright. let me see what i can do

unique flame
#

no one is using garo draco kahli on you in g1 sorry

twin gate
#

but most people even in g3 dont garo draco kahli this

unique flame
#

unless you happen to pull me

tough rose
#

i don't care rank

#

i care about making the best defense i possibly can

#

i want to play at higher

#

okay

#

let me see. how much is a good amount to aim for then in this case?

unique flame
#

yea the point is that it's not worth trying to trap something specific

#

if you're trying to make overall good defs

tough rose
#

right.

#

er

#

crit i mean

twin gate
#

probably like +20-25k and then prioritize getting some crit rate

#

cd would be nice but not a requirement

tough rose
#

let me see what i can do

cursive canyonBOT
#

Here is the requested monster.

Full views:
#1 Rakan

#1 Violent, Will

HP%, HP%, HP%

HP: 46707

CD: 57%
ACC: 39%

tough rose
#

i'm just checking for accuracy

#

so i do want some accuracy sprinkled in at least. right?

tough rose
unique flame
#

yes acc is needed too

#

vio is required

tough rose
#

for orion!

#

that was what i tagged

unique flame
#

oh

#

dont need 85 acc for anything on def

#

50+ some more on artis is generally enough

tough rose
#

ah, sorry

#

i just remember you taught me that already

#

sometimes i am a bit forgetful

unique flame
#

and vio or swift is same for everything

#

its either your fastest swift

#

or vio

#

no shitty swift sets

#

no "decent" swift sets

tough rose
#

that's the fastest i have with stats

unique flame
#

+181??

tough rose
#

outside of flat stat runes

#

nod

#

i swear i've been farming giants!!!!

unique flame
#

go back to giants? i dont know what else to say

tough rose
#

i will keep farming giants

unique flame
#

thats just blue swift runes

#

and not even like max blue

tough rose
#

i do roll swift blue still!

#

i will keep farming

#

maybe in a couple months i can make faster swift

#

i'll do violent for now then

unique flame
#

i really don't understand this swift problem

#

because you're not the only one who has it

twin gate
#

i do

#

people hear 'violent is best'

#

people speed run giants the fuck out of giants

#

and then go straight to dragons

unique flame
#

i guess

twin gate
#

and then go 'why am i slow giants sucks 😦'

unique flame
#

like ok i get it, i've been farming 7 years on my main

#

maybe i dont know what its like?

#

but no, on my alt

#

i realize its fucking easy to get decent swift

#

i'm not getting lucky or just out of touch

gentle condor
#

i don't think that's true, i am not getting much stuff faster than blue

unique flame
#

you can remove 5-10% of my "best" swift runes and my experience is still roughly the same

#

it is not rng

#

nup is right i think

#

people just get the fuck out of giants

#

or don't roll blues

tough rose
#

that isn't it for me

#

i do farm giants

#

can post logs to show it too!

gentle condor
#

i have decent amount of +18,+17 runes, but i don't get much of better ones

tough rose
#

i have not gotten very lucky admittedly

#

i do need to farm more

#

right now i am farming pretty evenly

#

i've farmed much more dragons total than giants but i'd say i farm around

#

i didn't link my swarfarm up recently but i'll do it again soon

#

i have some old statistics from a couple months of farming

#

i'll do that after, hold on

#

first, this

#

better?

shell vapor
tough rose
#

still too low damage??

#

i can try!

shell vapor
#

lucasshrug idk jack about defense

tough rose
#

that's ok duck, i'm still happy you're here

shell vapor
#

I was just gonna comment about the swift thing

#

When I first started playing I did giants enough to finish pve

#

and then I never farmed it again

#

I only started farming it like the last year

tough rose
#

for me i was focused on rta for awhile

#

and well

#

bruiser runes not really

#

so much in giants

#

for rta

#

so i farmed the shit out of dragons, so my violent runes are much more depth than giants ones AND more importantly

#

i didn't understand how spd or runes worked properly until maybe 2 years ago

unique flame
unique flame
tough rose
#

i mean i still have a LOT to learn of course but i just didn't understand for the longest time how runes worked

#

swarfarm is bugging out but

#

i do roll swift blues

unique flame
#

like i'm only expecting people to have blue swifts

#

but people don't even have those

tough rose
#

hold on though

unique flame
#

my 2nd tier swift sets on my alt are better than a lot of people's best

tough rose
#

i am saying swift with stats

#

as in

#

not with nothing else

unique flame
#

yea i know what you mean

tough rose
#

i don't think it's acceptable for me to put some runes with 22 spd, 6% res, 4% accuracy + something else

#

on a defense monster. that is why

#

not that

#

every rune is like this of course

#

but this was after i looked through. that's all!

shell vapor
#

idk I think the mentality for me was like

#

I didn’t know what I was doing so it took me forever to finish pve

tough rose
#

how to improve rakan here? more crit daamge?

shell vapor
#

So by that time I didn’t want to farm giants anymore

tough rose
#

i can try for a bit less tankiness and more damage maybe

shell vapor
unique flame
tough rose
#

which skill CD am i seeking?

unique flame
#

if you want to improve him from there just look for more hp

tough rose
#

i was stacking atk up effect

unique flame
#

don't do that

#

doesn't help hp scaling

tough rose
#

okay. i will not

unique flame
#

i mean its not horrible but

tough rose
#

s3 cdmg?

unique flame
#

id rather get cd when enemy hp is high/low

#

or s3 cd

tough rose
#

ah

#

left side. what is desirable? -dmg from water?

#

i had gone for -fire because i was mistakenly trying to do the garo draco kahli trapping

#

i would check my guild but nobody else is running this variation, it's all perna or masha

unique flame
#

i think you still want -fire

tough rose
#

okie

unique flame
#

i dunno what kind of water dd people will bring into this

tough rose
#

right.

#

that makes sense.

#

but will people bring wind DD at all?

#

well

unique flame
#

yes. skogul or windy

tough rose
#

i guess people always kill orion last anyways

unique flame
#

feng too probably

tough rose
#

with fire dd

tough rose
#

from 11/20/2022 until now (if i'm reading this correctly)
R5: 1879 runs
Necropolis: 1876 runs
Dragons: 1874 runs
Faimon: 1703 runs
Giants: 1350 runs
Steel Fortress: 698 runs
Punishers Crypt: 180 runs

This is only recorded and I know I've farmed a lot on my phone.

so I guess I do need to farm more giants :D but i'm trying to farm everything

#

but basically as far as my "fastest set goes"
it's +205

#

thats just for spd and not caring about anything else

#

i don't have an answer as to why my swift runes aren't faster. the only thing i can think is that i don't roll blue runes that are +4 spd. i roll +5 or higher

#

because i have at least a few +17s in each slot

#

but with stats. i can't do higher than +183. so i guess swift fastest on def is a no go for me!!!

tough rose
# tough rose

anyways. sorry for the ramble. does seara look okay?

tough rose
#

makes sense, i just wanted to make sure i am thinking about this right

tranquil junco
#

it still probably works tbh

#

rakan is either on vio, and cant self sustain so you can just bonk him down with additionals

#

or hes on vamp and hes not scary

tough rose
#

what do you all think about khmun loren elucia vs khmun vigor skogul? a guildy of mine was running it instead of khmun vigor elucia and i think i like the idea more

#

well

#

maybe not more, but i like it

ripe kraken
#

My concern would be tempo/sustain loss from dropping vigor honestly

#

When I tried that team the biggest problem for me was choosing what to target with Loren

tough rose
#

I think the idea was just to make it so skogul never gets turn

ripe kraken
#

Yeah which for me I never cared about I guess since I had vigor and would control their vigor so eventually I would have speed buff and they wouldn’t I guess

#

It’s been a while since I played that fight but my concern was always basically that team relying on Loren being fast enough to never let skogul go where using vigor is consistent irresistible value

#

I know some people even in my guild liked it though so this might just be personal trauma others might have a different experience

tough rose
#

Makes sense. I don't have multiple vigor right now so I think I may consider it

ripe kraken
#

Yeah that’s completely reasonable

#

Vigor is insanely good in a lot of instances so I get the desire to conserve him

tough rose
#

i know i've asked before and i apologize for my poor memory. could i get some recommendations for fire tanks? kumar, harmonia? who else is good? could i make ursha?

#

i do not have kumar at all and i've been running into some situations where i want a fire tank in siege and don't have one

drifting hearth
#

Kunite/ Lala / Maybe Xiong?

full dragon
#

Ophilia, and you can consider using her s3 now instead of s1 spam cause it gives immunity

#

Triple Will tanks can be good too, if you intend to end the battle within those few turns

#

ie: water twins + Xiong Fei vs. Tesarion, Vigor, Molly

full dragon
#

CD requires very high efficiency, I don't recommend it if your HP and other stats are still low

unique flame
#

i wouldn't malak fran triana into rakan. sure if you land both bombs on the seara and orion you'd definitely win 3v1 against rakan. but that's never the issue, the issue is if you miss bombs and don't kill seara or orion. rakan presents more of a problem than perna with his cc

#

your seara is fine, if anything can always make her tankier

#

khmun loren elucia is super popular. but i hate that comp

#

it really requires you to outrune the enemy for it to work well

#

you cannot perma control anything when acc/res checks are in play. enemy vigor gives speed buff too

#

there are no good fire tanks in the game that are on par with rina for water or windy for wind

#

kunite is the closest there is, but it really depends on the specific situation

#

funnily enough tesa turns out to be the most tanky fire mon in many situations with his passive, even as a bruiser and not a pure tank

full dragon
#

I think Khmun is the closest, but it's contextual

unique flame
#

yea for sure, it is contextual and khmun does get used a lot in the tank slot

full dragon
#

I made a Kai'en a while back, decent F2P perma immunity option too

#

and has DEF buff

#

def break

#

atk break

#

hmm, I need to use him forgot how loaded he is

unique flame
#

mei is another option you can consider, she is super tanky but it's not 100% uptime

twin gate
ripe kraken
#

Trevor can work in specific situations

#

But it’s really only against mo

#

Honestly let’s reframe that

#

Trevor is good at tanking mo and like nothing else

#

But he’s really good at tanking mo

tranquil junco
#

sip HELENA

ripe kraken
gaunt torrent
#

as well as how to rune him

unique flame
#

here's an example, there's nothing special/specific about him. he works just like any fire bruiser. his passive just gives him a lot of extra tankiness (and dmg, but people don't realize just how tanky the passive makes him until they actually try him out)

#

overall though i wouldn't really recommend him. plenty of better/more reliable/more versatile options. like tesa

ripe kraken
#

Tesa is way more versatile though yeah the team design is a lot more specific with trevor its just trevor is really good at eating reckless

tough rose
#

sorry to beat a dead horse here, but i've been thinking about this since the discussion. why is +183 considered so slow? sometimes it takes me a few days of thinking about what we talk about here to really understand.
but this just flat out doesn't make sense to me.

for speed on my wind madeleine's runes (SKIPPING slot 2)
26/X/20/23/25/25

the slowest is slot 3 which i only have one swift rune above +16 ungrinded on (dova uses it). my wind cookie is on my second fastest slot.
but this still doesn't make sense to me. generally when we speak the expectations on runes are tempered and summoner1722 seems to have my number on this.
is this really so slow? what am I missing? this is my second fastest swift set fairly statless. like i understand the math behind speed rolls. 6->12->18->24 + 4 or 5 grind is max purple. i roll every single purple rune i get with speed on it. and i know i don't farm an absolutely insane amount but no matter what i do i can't seem to figure this out.

#

@unique flame

#

i included some more monsters i have on swift. i don't really use swift runes that often. and i DO farm giants and i DO roll blues. i have for awhile.

#

i really fail to understand what it is i'm missing

#

like.. is it maybe that my runes with speed are spread out? because i am comparing to summoner1722 here for example, which is a pretty new account, and draco is +184 here

gaunt torrent
#

personal opinion, but the game has been around for so long that a lot of people have +200 sets now

#

so anything less than that on defence is seen as pretty abusable?

tough rose
#

it's not about that

#

we're not talking about how long the game has been out. we're talking about wtf the problem is

gaunt torrent
#

about the speed being low?

gray meteorBOT

jx9

[Message Link](#1050413235360235520 message) to #1050413235360235520
i really don't understand this swift problem

tough rose
#

here is where the discussion starts

#

it isn't "a lot of people have +200 and its abusable"
its "why is it that despite summoner1722 being less than 5 months old, the rune quality of the swift runes you have are lower in speed?"

gaunt torrent
#

hmm firstly, when we are discussing speed are we trying to get other stats still?

#

or just fast as possible

tough rose
#

read the discussion

#

and what i posted

gaunt torrent
#

sorry there's too many topics being discussed at the same time, i can't zone in on the exact topic 🥲

tough rose
#

it's ok

#

this is something for other people to answer here anyways i think

#

the wind cookie and draco are statless. you can see the speed.

#

it's extremely mediocre.

#

we're discussing both

west bobcat
#

im also chasing swift since my swifts were really bad, but I did move from +202 to +211 in one month by just farming gb12

gaunt torrent
#

for the wind cookie, what's it priority? like in terms of who gets the best runes, what position is that set for wind cookie?

#

maybe you're spreading your runes too th in

tough rose
#

we're not

#

guys

#

we're not talking

#

about +200

#

:D

#

look at the numbers above

#

wind cookie is basically #3. tiana gets fastest with stats -> dova -> cookie -> imesety -> draco

gaunt torrent
#

are you using swop to optimize?

tough rose
#

both or by hand, doesn't matter

gaunt torrent
#

tbh even if your swift depth sucks, you should have a lot of fast offsets

tough rose
#

this is the problem and why i'm discussing it

gaunt torrent
#

bad luck perhaps?

#

or don't farm enough

#

26/X/20/23/25/25

surely, you could find two offsets faster than 26 here

tough rose
#

this is why i'm having this conversation, i keep saying that :D

#

it doesn't exist

gaunt torrent
#

soz, finally got it xd

tough rose
#

it's ok

#

i do farm

gaunt torrent
#

how many runs do you do per day?

tough rose
#

i farm a lot

gaunt torrent
#

quick maths says about 140 runs per day?

#

wait no i included sr5

#

about 100 rune dungeon runs per day

tough rose
#

sr5 is relevant

#

it's also farming

upper flint
gaunt torrent
#

how do you get those stats btw, im still trying to find them on swarfarm

gaunt torrent
tough rose
#

i linked my swarfarm

#

it is relevant. runes don't do anything without grinds

#

if i get a +18 swift rune and don't have spd grinds it is a +18 swift rune!

#

i do roll and keep blue runes. this one for example i just got yesterday

carmine mason
#

I wonder if also expectations around volume of farming? I made a new account a year ago and got +200 in 100 base in like 2 months of the account

#

But I was farming 14 hours a day on it

carmine mason
#

Right now I can peak 2k gb12 runs in a day

#

~5m per 10x * 18 hours

#

If I’m really sweating it

gaunt torrent
#

on a side note, my seara orion rakan def feels really ass rn. did i focus too much on speed tuning?

carmine mason
#

But there is some combination of not rolling every single rune And volume of farming

#

Rakan arts where

#

I think the seara and rakan are hard to rune both tuned to the swift Orion so yeah lower stats but at least seara the speed is nice because you will cycle a ton into more bombs

gaunt torrent
#

yeah gonna add rakan arts once i figure out whether i should give him more hp/atk or def

#

and skill ups too

#

but losing very hard to my very average shield will comp

carmine mason
#

What’s the comp

gaunt torrent
#

zaiross gally tiana

carmine mason
#

What happens when Zaiross gets def break

#

From Orion

gaunt torrent
#

haven't had that happen yet

#

but only done like 5 runs so far

west bobcat
#

getting swift triples just takes long but when you get them they greatly improve swift depth since you only need 3 swift runes with spd per set

#

I average about 1 triple spd a day, so eventually you get enough that are swift

#

it just takes long

gaunt torrent
carmine mason
#

You need rakan to get a def broken target to the range where it dies or seara retarget

#

You probably missed crit also?

#

You don’t need to win 100% also - with swift you’re banking on getting wins from bad offenses racing you and losing

carmine mason
#

Even 4-4 8 speed at the 3+

west bobcat
#

ok I do skip the 4-4 spd ones sometimes

gaunt torrent
carmine mason
#

So try and get a lil more cr I would say

gaunt torrent
#

atm, looking at 20% wr against shield will cleave

gaunt torrent
#

i'll let it run tomorrow and hope it'll float still

carmine mason
#

You’re not trying to win high against shield will with swift Orion tho

#

You’re trying to have a chance to win

gaunt torrent
#

that's fair

carmine mason
#

And gamble on shit comps with less speed losing to your outspeed

#

Like someone trying to Susano Kona lushen

gaunt torrent
#

i don't think 313 is particularly fast tho is it

#

btw do yall just power up runes later?

carmine mason
#

In g1 seems fine

#

Just power up while you farm

gaunt torrent
#

i can't be bothered doing blues cause the auto sell filters arent that great

#

unless if there's a way to not sell blue +6 on 4/6?

carmine mason
#

Just autonsell but click on 4/6s or swift runes

#

The auto sell just auto selects stuff you can deselect

gaunt torrent
#

im just complaining at this point, but the tick makes it so hard to see i manually deslect to verify anyway haha

#

does wtl still beat carcano iris triana?

carmine mason
#

Probably

#

I used to see garo raoq verde into that more tho

gaunt torrent
#

am i meant to make triana hard to lushen? otherwise seems really ez

carmine mason
#

You can

#

You can’t counter everything tho

#

Tanky iris can also be anti lushen

#

But tank and tank iris you def lose to twl

#

It’s rock paper scissors

gaunt torrent
#

oh what's the win condition for carc iris triana to win against twl?

#

atm im losing to both lushen and twl

tough rose
#

there's already so much in this thread

tough rose
#

and also my giants team is too slow

carmine mason
#

its not that slow

#

i think just new accounts get a ton of free energy/crystals so maybe our past experience with alt accounts is including that beginginer time with a lot more resources idk

tough rose
#

i can't farm 12h/day either, i would say i farm 6 or so 5 days a week

#

i try to farm more but that's all i can do.

carmine mason
#

Yeah I’m not accusing you I’m just trying to think of things that cause more of a gap that g3 siege players take for granted

#

Like me saying I could farm a 200 swift set in a week may be like 3 months of your farming

#

And that’s ok I’m just an addict

gentle condor
dawn rune
carmine mason
#

Theyre saying limited on crystals not time it seems

twin gate
# tough rose sorry to beat a dead horse here, but i've been thinking about this since the dis...

i think the shorthand to all of this is you simply don't farm giants enough to have the swift needed

theres an aspect of luck of course but eventually to ice everything out with like 20-24 bases is just time, and since you're also presumably F2P or a very light spender it's entirely possible that you just don't have the crystal income or are just splitting it hard to where you haven't made meaningful progress in swift

at low farming amounts the luck aspect shines brighter so its possible you and jx's alt have farmed the same amount and he (jx9) just got better rolls; only farming a ton and playing the odds will even that out

tough rose
#

please don't call me he ^^

tough rose
#

yeah, i just do daily packs.

#

maybe it is possible to make a team with what i have available but honestly i don't know so much about it

#

and 50s is fast enough for me

#

faster would be cool.

west bobcat
#

it takes a decent amount of farming to get swift triples so with very low volume gb12 it takes longer, there's not much else to it

#

I think that if you exclusively farm gb12 for one month, you will see a clearer improvement in swift depth

dawn rune
tough rose
#

what's that?

dawn rune
#

that's my toah mellia, and my sr5 kro

tough rose
#

also my kro is slow sr5 kro, not the one used in the guide!

tough rose
#

Could I have more suggestions vs this? Got unlucky here and missed 2x def break and reset on draco. I have raki but she isnt skilled up and idk what I do wrong but every time I try to use her she doesnt deal enough damage. I have mephisto also.

tranquil junco
#

Iirc songseol works fine here

#

You can also do the miho gambit

carmine mason
#

Miho let’s goooo

#

I used to love garo Chloe skogul into stuff like this

#

High res skogul shield will

#

Or vampire skogul

#

Odin can’t snipe anything turn 1 then you just tank forever with skogul while garo kills everything

#

I would kill Odin or Draco first prolly

#

Max res skogul is unlikely to be stripped

tough rose
#

I want to but non Chloe owner, I could make miho

carmine mason
#

Miho is legit just solo angle or you can do like booster miho cov and snipe the Draco

tough rose
#

Is this some swift songseol with a spd lead or something?

#

I have never had her recommended before. A bit exotic, I want monsters in the toolbox that can help!

carmine mason
#

It’s decent but Jx will not approve

#

Usually it’s like Fran swift songsol tesa

#

The songsol stops Draco buffs so Odin doesn’t get stacks , you kill him with attack buff Tessa

#

But if Draco just doesn’t s3 turn 1 you can lose pretty easily

#

@unique flame what do you think about songsol

tranquil junco
#

you have 2 turns not 1

#

iirc bc she halves her own speed during song

#
  • tesa can just yeet odin off of a passive
twin gate
#

generally your goal with songseol is to legit go turn 1 then try and send someone into the fucking sun

#

i think i used to see seara songseol triana but that one feels dicey based on whether you land a bomb which is rough

#

fran tesa song is a bit safer but you have two shots for tesa to land oblivion and if he doesn't then you might be fked

#

obliv or defbreak

unique flame
#

i hate songseol i will never use her (again)

#

with miho team you can do like a full 3 hard to kill bruiser

#

like miho garo camilla or something

tough rose
#

i'm always down for multiple takes and options

tough rose
#

Does summoner1722 have wind madeleine? @unique flame

#

I was looking through the second to last update and I've noticed you don't use him as a booster ever. I know he's sort of new tech but I'm curious about it.\

unique flame
#

you can use him he's good

tough rose
#

I like him a lot. I was able to make the double snipe team which I use most sieges (covenant madeleine sonia) with him. I couldn't meet the requirements without him.

i guess not logan. not sure what else i'd run :D

logan is fine

jubelle isnt ideal though

rigid plover

I was thinking of Logan too

chacha is infinitely better for most offenses

there's no strip on that def

you can kaki cleave it

tough rose

Galleon kaki +1?

unique flame

yes, ideally +1 can even be another oni like fuuki or suiki

upper flint
unique flame

what do you mean getting cut

it's a 2nd turn comp

one of the biggest advantages of kaki as a dd is that he's not super squishy

#

swift or vio is better on this def?

unique flame

vio is always than swift for everything. but swift is acceptable for the sake of rune economy - i.e. you have a monster like orion that you can use both offense and defense on the same set

unique flame
tough rose
#

vs carcano iris triana?

#

tried TWL and lost. tried fran triana kaki, also lost. tried garo draco kahli, that was really stupid, lost.

unique flame
#

cleave with galleon bernard julie

#

single target should be good too, like garo/tq raoq verde or susano megan stella

#

if you want to bruiser it you need to have multiple supports so that you dont just lose if iris locks down one of them

#

malite + 2 water is better than twl here

#

with the 2 water being vigor + 1, lots of different options for the 2nd water

#

elucia wrecks iris with her s3

#

tetra lets you sustain even if stunned

tough rose
#

hmm okay

unique flame
#

or just lulu

tough rose
#

that was the idea with fran triana kaki but did not work very well, i guess triana also is not amazing against iris (in this context) because of multihits

unique flame
#

fran triana kaki sounds ok but depends on your builds i guess

tough rose
#

vs khmun vigor roid?
i like khmun racuni malite but some other ideas?

carmine mason
#

Khmun vigor roid felt like rina double wind angle

#

You want a water tank that is ok never moving, or double immunity like lulu triana is prolly okish too

tough rose
#

i just realized i need to have rina built even though i have camilla

#

since 4* bases exist

#

how about like hraesvelg cdmg triana rina?

#

i'd like to try using logan also, i haven't used him since i built him because the build i have him on is very very squishy and it's felt hard to find situations where he is useful

#

feel like maybe i should switch him up a bit to be a bit tankier

unique flame
#

yes rina 2 wind is good, you just have to make sure that the winds are bruisers and not glass cannon nukers. khmun can hurt

#

also if you're using an aoe wind like hraes you have to be careful about hitting roid, he's popular on rev and you don't want to get revenge def broken

tough rose
#

the one i hit with khmun racuni malite ended up being on revenge

#

it was awkward actually because he can taunt malite and sometimes racuni doesn't get it off

#

i'm learning the hard way one of the first things you all taught me

#

about defenses here, i've tried to stretch myself thin since my guild has so many poor defenses

#

it ends up being difficult especially when those monsters don't always translate well into offense

summer stone
#

make less defenses but make them as strong as you can

#

you only need one strong defense to make it harder to take a tower

tough rose
#

yeah, i know the idea

#

when i'm ready to play higher siege i plan to do so

#

right now they are all getting wins at least so i think i'm just going to leave them and continue to develop more knowledge

#

that is what i want more than anything, is to learn, i don't care so much about the rest, i don't know enough right now

summer stone
#

Imo you will learn more from high level guilds

Ludo (Fire Dice Magician) HOH

Ludo can be used on siege defense but is not meta or recommended right now. In terms of skill ups for the rest of the family, wind is a toy for siege and water is completely useless.

Light and dark are extremely good though - Tablo is great for RTA and can be used in some specialized arena and siege offenses. Monte is currently meta on siege def.

Overall, pick up your 5 copies and get them straight to storage - unless you have unskilled light/dark dice magicians, in which case you can consider using almighty for extra skillups.

tough rose
#

@unique flame I have monte rotting in storage. I'm assuming this is an asset if I apply to a guild in the future?

tough rose
#

Do I need a different triana for vs seara orion perna & vs khmun bastet odin?

unique flame
#

same one. can swap arti though if you want to tryhard

#

monte is good on siege def, are you not in a guild right now? not understanding what you're trying to say

gentle condor
#

Probably thinking of trying for higher level guild

unique flame
#

but having monte or not shouldn't affect that. with the exception of the very top guilds, any other guild that's going to reject you because of your monster box is not understanding siege and isn't one you should want to join

tranquil junco
#

I think realistically it probably takes….. 2-3? Months to fully develop a workable offense box with 1-2 of most of the useful units. Unless you’re applying to a tourney guild you should be fine

#

Plenty of time to develop that during season

tough rose
#

but i guess i need to find a smarter guild in that case, i don't feel like my box is lacking so much anymore, before perhaps, but i've made a lot of progress

Water hollyberry I know is good. Is she seeing use on offense too? I plan to build her for RTA eventually. No devilmon though. Also I'l put shren on my list of units to build.

defense

#

not offense

#

its a better molly in terms of anticleave

tough rose
#

Ah. My guild does not run any right now.

tranquil junco
#

bc 1. its cancelled damage not glance

#
  1. it completely fucks mo/icares/arnold
tough rose
#

Makes sense.

tranquil junco
#

its not impossible, but its very difficult

#

to snipe thru water holly

tough rose
#

Right now I have too many defenses already I think. But in a couple months I will look at it. Every month on FRR trying to have guild look at defense changes potentially

tranquil junco
#

what do yall even run down there

#

im assuming lm?

tough rose
#

No lm

#

I don't have her and guild does not stack it

#

Ill show sec

#

Also clara belita maruna.

#

Everything stacks with guild except theo tesa riley. But nothing fancy there. Theomars is on mostly leftovers and riley tesa I use all the time because. Obvious reasons.

basically anything to tank the mo and woosa

what about nem harmonia + water twins

tranquil junco

That works fine

is arnold not a meme unit guys

i thought this was a meme

#

if you guys don't stop recommending him i'm going to build him you know

or am i too late

tough rose
#

not odin (or bastet t_t) owner unfortunately
i was asking to learn!

Aren’t you relying too much on bastet healblock there?

tranquil junco

shoot harmonia and mo

#

you might be able to copper dozer it too ngl

#

copper mo dozer harm

tough rose
#

so i only have sonia, not claire

#

i was considering doing it but i was worried about laika soloing

tough rose
# tranquil junco copper mo dozer harm

I'm trying to stop doing "might" as much as I possibly can afford to these days
My copper bulldozer is not the best and I would be lying if I said I havent lost similar to shield -dmg artifacts etc

tranquil junco
#

can also just abuse the fact mo wont go for triana

#

and just run triana elucia type stuff

#

arnold is not meme but his use is more niche than his supporters would make you believe

#

i would not recommend building arnold against mo

tough rose
#

what do you all reckon? does this go to chacha? i lose 100% res if i put it on them

unique flame
#

literally any tank?

#

chacha, jultan, jubelle, dias, tractor, windy, lala, etc

#

you can change other runes to keep 100 res if you want the res

tough rose
#

I want to try to drop the res in favor of 205 tick

tough rose
#

the one on the right is 100% res, i just would gem over something useless. i'm curious if it seems worthwhile. or if the build chacha is on now is fine.

drifting hearth
#

Personally I'd go with the second one

full dragon
#

If you're vs. a defense where you want the RES, yes

#

If you're vs. a defense where RES does nothing for you, no

#

ie: Acc lead defenses or typical high Acc mons

#

or if you want to use s3 onto a Kinki at some point or other high RES, then high Acc Chacha

unique flame
#

if you want a generic build for everything, i personally prefer my max res builds and i'm willing to give up a good chunk of stats for it

#

that doesn't mean non res builds are bad of course, they're just different. and like CT mentioned if you're going up against for example nana lead, then res builds are definitely worse

#

that 2nd build is much better you don't even lose that much stats for the res

tough rose
#

I currently am simply lacking rune depth to develop multiple different builds there

#

That is why I prefer to go for the generic route for now, I'm pretty much at the point where if a blue rune drops with hp% on slot 6 revenge i'll +15 it because i have 3 of them

full dragon
#

that's fine

#

blue rev runes will give you good depth, I still use a lot of them

tough rose
full dragon
#

Slot 2/4/6 HP% w/ ~20%+ DEF sub is nice

tough rose
#

i had this drop today for example

#

(i have like 8 revenge def% gems)

full dragon
#

Do you happen to have an ATK% with high HP sub?

#

sometimes it's good for Windy if he doesn't need to be a complete meatshield

tough rose
#

i actually do not own a slot 4 (?)/6 rune atk% main stat with hp% sub

#

there was one, hold on

#

i was using this before

full dragon
#

that's nice

tough rose
#

but defense rune now

#

what were you running vs liu mei before cloud? i know a lot of the time you ran chacha instead of jultan, i'm curious why

#

i'm not sure ive seen a video you've used jultan in actually

full dragon
#

It depends on the defense, cause all of the dark tanks fit a niche

tough rose
#

chandra nora liu mei for instance

shell vapor
#

jubelle

tough rose
#

sorry, not jultan

#

jubelle

full dragon
#

Chacha I'd use with the Carcano, Chacha, Triana kind of teams

tough rose
#

that is what i meant to say

shell vapor
#

if they do lots of dmg i use jubelle

#

if its turn cycling i use jultan

tough rose
shell vapor
#

because jultan can get melted by a perna

#

or whatever

#

he doesn't actually have built in skill/passive that makes him tanky

full dragon
#

Jubelle is better for straight tanking when there's CC, cause you can cycle out of DEF breaks and CC. Also good for DEF break.

shell vapor
#

u just rune him tanky

full dragon
#

Chacha isn't good when there's multiple forms of cc

shell vapor
#

chacha doesn't do anything when stunned

tough rose
#

right

shell vapor
#

u need her to rev to put shield up

tough rose
#

so for example vs chandra nora liu mei, what would you look at?

full dragon
#

Jubelle is nice there

shell vapor
#

double water jubelle ? Hmmge

#

elucia vigor

#

or a cleanse instead

full dragon
#

cause there's a chance of at least 2 of them being on Despair with these kind of defenses

tough rose
#

i did the malite route vs sop the other day by the way and it worked perfectly

full dragon
#

not including Chandra s1 and LM s2 stuns

#

2 water + Jubelle typically

tough rose
#

basically i need more elucia and vigor

full dragon
#

You can do something like Susano Lulu Jubelle

shell vapor
#

do u run

#

286 max res

full dragon
#

What causes losses vs. this def is when the defense has multiple Despair sets and you can't move

tough rose
#

with susano on 50% res + vampire?

full dragon
#

Running a Water DD w/ self or team cleanse, Lulu/Tetra, Jubelle is probably the safest option, but more premium

tough rose
full dragon
#

or LM s3

full dragon
tough rose
#

ok, i was gonna ask about josephine

#

i wasn't sure if that qualified under the category of DD

#

why do you keep coming in here and writing random messages

full dragon
#

she has some serious damage, especially after recent patch means you don't really need any CR

#

can do a super efficient slot 4 CD

shell vapor
tough rose
#

does manon do the job decently enough? i'm thinking that could be an interesting option

#

since she can't really be CC'd in the first place and a little extra protection. plus she slaps

full dragon
#

I tested her shortly and it seemed promising

tough rose
#

i remember you had her on defense once pre buff

#

so chandra can strip i guess but i think it's inconsequential overall (in regards to manon)

full dragon
#

The s2 can help a bit with mitigating, but her being water helps a decent amount, and you're getting passive procs to slow down the defense

tough rose
#

right

drifting hearth
full dragon
#

I don't have a build, but you'd just build him ~239/286 on a more damage-oriented build

drifting hearth
#

vio destroy? or w/e what second set I use

full dragon
#

yeah Violent/Destroy

drifting hearth
#

thank you very much

full dragon
#

Nora is only sustain, but Destroy makes that sustain weaker until you kill your first target

#

essentially dealing more dmg

tranquil junco

@tough rose dark tank selection

#

Can be summed as follows

Large damage spikes: Jubelle

Out destroyed with only Nora sustain ain’t no way lil bro

tough rose
#

What order do you think should be focused with malite lulu vigor vs sop @full dragon ?

#

i feel like the team wasn't bad but i got rune/artifact gapped. i only have +8% on light

#

what do you all think?

#

i shot and did not kill shazam

tough rose
#

i usually do orion -> seara -> perna

unique flame
tough rose
#

got it.

unique flame
#

don't feel bad though it's not supposed to be easy. shazam has crazy hp with the hp lead, and i know its tough getting the dmg with spd req early on

tough rose
#

vs moore savannah + fire? (kaki in this case, for example)
can i do feng +2 fire?

#

Some advice vs #2? It was a win but better runes I lose for sure

#

I think #3 is bad also

ripe kraken
# tough rose

For number 2 something like khumn Kona covenant immediately comes to mind snipe the Shizuka then work down the rest use teon either works. Round 3 maybe galleon bernard julie

Increase the HP of ally monsters by 33%

rigid plover
#

Seems plausible

#

Also that def is really not that great so I doubt it has that level of tank

ripe kraken
#

Geld you don’t care about as long as khumn has at least 1% acc

#

You eventually kill him

#

Or destroy

#

If you are still worried though lemme think

tough rose
#

50k sounds like enough damage. I think it's fair.

#

Also I did not realize shizuka could use s2 "revive" when mephisto is on field

ripe kraken
#

Yeah probably because it’s more like a temporary summon rather than true revive

rigid plover
#

It's not really a revive

unique flame
#

if you want to do feng + 2 fire just have to make sure whatever fire you use they are super tanky. like racuni is not tanky enough

#

even better would be fire monsters that are on high def builds so they can't get def broken by sav. i.e. vela, XF

#

that second def with shizuka got me curious, can shizuka s2 a unit that's been killed with anti revive

#

or does that not count

#

and also when shizuka revives a unit is that unit treated as having 100% hp, or 0% hp
