22 speed 8 def gem in hp over cd

tranquil junco
#

Idk I have enough of those I don’t care for another

carmine mason
#

If the rune rolling absolutely perfectly does nothing for you

#

Then yeah sell

tough rose
carmine mason
#

I think a lot of people have bad imagination tho

tough rose
#

like i get a vamp slot 1 4 spd flat hp flat atk
i sell

carmine mason
#

When it comes to sacking a useful stat on +22

#

That could be mo long rune

tough rose
#

that's true

carmine mason
#

I feel like rolling a 3/6 is so cheap and quick

#

I get more picky about going to 9

#

Also unlimited mana tho

tough rose
#

mana starved gamer always

gaunt torrent
#

honestly, i just roll everything to 9, mana is so free

#

makes filtering so much easier instead of trying to figure if going from +6 to +9 is worth it for each rune when restarting a run

#

i saw mention of bethony (dark magical archer) in this chat, is she useful?

shell vapor
#

big damage single target ignore def nuker

#

that can kill thru triana

gaunt torrent
#

any specific comps to run her with? i can see something like:
vio shield/will bethony
megan/bastet/chloe

Siege offense - Cleaves

Time to go back to cleave teams - sometimes the best way to deal with a def is to outspeed and cleave it. Dead monsters can't vio proc. We use the term "cleave" pretty loosely here - as mentioned before, cleave in a classic gaming sense refers to any aoe attack, but in summoners war people often just refer to it as any sort of team that takes first turn and quickly kills the enemy (and not even in an aoe fashion - could be multiple single target nukes).

Building/runing cleave teams is super straightforward. A fast swift set goes onto the atb booster. Then your nukers just need 100 CR, enough speed to be speed tuned to that booster, and the rest split into atk/CD. They will generally be runed on some combination of Fatal/Rage/Blade/Swift/broken. This is practically the same for all the various teams.

One of the main parts of cleaving is being faster than the enemy. At higher levels of play, if players are cleaving multiple times in a single siege, they often swap their fastest swift set to different ATB boosters. For most people that's not really expected though, which is why players need to think hard about the previous section on where to allocate and prioritize their swift sets.

Here's a list of the most popular cleaves, and I'll briefly discuss the pros and cons of each one. Please note that I only named them for the sake of my own categorization, they're not actually known by those names in the community. When discussing these offenses, it's always best to refer to them by the specific 3 monsters used in that offense. For example, don't call it "fat snipe comp" call it "Khmun Racuni Cov".

R1 - Win
This didn't feel totally safe. Maybe Jubelle > Chacha here. The Mimirr hit really hard.

summer stone
#

Yeah chacha is never getting a turn with the Loren

gentle condor
#

that's her role here tho

tough rose
#

R2 - Lose
This was poor. Never seen this defense before. Eshir can S3 and strip bulldozer and then it's very awkward because if I don't resurge copper then I can lose to anticrit from vigor. I think Khmun copper imesety would be fine here.

summer stone
#

Can just triana/Olivia copper imensity too

tough rose
#

Don't have infinite trianas

summer stone
#

No fire threat means you can double wind chacha/jubelle too

#

Or bomb

#

Or Chloe water twins

tough rose
#

R3 - Win
I just realized i'm playing against a strange guild that only uses one monster family defenses. I think this is excellent against the "only oracle" defense (works great if laima is seara also). I've seen it twice and this seems to be the most reliable counter.

tough rose
#

R5 - Win
I think that I should have switched lala from revenge to will just in case savannah takes turn 1, defense breaks and several procs.

#

Was going to do this but someone sniped my reserve

#

R6 - Win
Pretty straightforward I think.

#

R7 - Win
I think this one is straightforward also. I actually did something interesting here because I know I don't have any good +light with water, so I used sonia on +light and covenant on +water.

full dragon
tough rose
#

Ah. Just because her multipliers are higher too.

#

Right.

#

Have to remember that I should be using sonia to snipe the tankier monster.

shell vapor
#

what are these goofy clone defenses hms

#

triple br triple pioneer winege

tough rose
#

I have actually played against the triple oracle before and lost, so i learned there dog rat rock is good

shell vapor
tough rose
#

g1 adventurer

tough rose
#

R8 - Win
I think Chloe is much better but both work. I don't have chloe built yet. Switched runes to as much stats and low speed as possible.

drifting hearth
#

Why not just use tesa

#

isn't water twins a bit risky if leo survives with low hp and 2nd skills

drifting hearth
#

oh makes sense me dumb

tough rose
#

I think it's very unlikely leo 1v3s

#

Think it's about as safe as I can get there.

#

I also built the twins bulky to withstand a few hits since there's a leo and I can just remove all speed

drifting hearth
#

got it

tough rose
#

would like some input on how you'd beat this defense
i heard carcano atk/atk/atk swift songseol triana
or illiana hanra but that's not exactly f2p friendly
any other ideas?

#

also with TWL vs MST, do you prefer a violent tractor?

unique flame
#

triana chacha whatever

#

odin with no atk buff is much less dangerous

#

violent tractor is preferred for everything

tough rose
#

i see

#

maybe triana chacha onimusha?

#

think suiki sounds pretty good here

drifting hearth
#

triana chacha carcano should work

#

at least that's what I do and ye atk and no c dmg carc

tough rose
#

that sounds sensible too

drifting hearth
#

I'm just g1 too but that never failed to me

unique flame
#

random nat 5 bruisers like seara, miles, feng, etc can be used too

drifting hearth
#

since you've mentioned FY, I saw you run him oh dif builds, normal one and 100% res, do you mind to explain where you use either and which one you'd go with if you only had one FY?

#

@unique flame

unique flame
#

the one i use most often is max res destroy

#

so that would be my recommendation if i had only 1

#

it's pretty simple to decide when to use what

#

destroy vs will and 100 res vs no res are both independent decisions

#

destroy is used against any comp that has sustain. will is used against those yolo defs like clara theo sav

#

no res build is used into nana or other things you'd expect would have high acc. res build is much more common and used against bruisers who aren't going to be runed with high acc. like theo.

drifting hearth
#

Thank you very much you're the goat ^_

tough rose
unique flame
#

seara with add dmg does plenty of dmg without bombs

#

you easily kill odin in a few turns without even bombing. and gaps in immunity will happen quite often when everyone is on vio

#

also you do have a strip with chacha

#

the spd lead is whatever

tough rose
#

i see.

tough rose
#

Worth keeping a dupe coco?

unique flame
#

i just did

#

coco is pretty unique on offense

tough rose
#

I think this is poorly piloted. Would like some guidance
I think turn 1 I'm supposed to sleep bastet to stop her from buffing. I was worried khmun would hit elucia but he should not according to AI rational
Then afterwards I oblivion the odin, I keep khmun frozen with elucia & try to put oblivion on both odin and khmun

tranquil junco
#

did bastet just use s2?

#

no procs right

#

so

#

my piloting there would have been actually

#

open: cleanse tesarion

#

tesa s2 odin, lands def break + oblivion

#

ideally at least

#

triana moves next, cleanse self

#

assuming odin gets buffed

#

5 stack sees def broken + low elucia

#

goes for kill, triana stops

#

so you either have

#

odin at 3 stack, buffed, with oblivion + def break

#

or odin at 0 stacks, buffed and triana cooldown active

tough rose
tranquil junco
#

yeah

#

given your turn order

#

cleanse tesa

#

tesa s2 odin

#

triana self cleanse

#

would have been my line

tough rose
#

got it

#

that makes sense

tranquil junco
#

lil lurker

tough rose
#

haha

#

could I get some suggestions for this? i mistakenly thought lala provided immunity on s2, but either way i think lala was a bad choice here

tranquil junco
#

rina logan +1

#

or

unique flame
#

i think you need something to deal with the provoke here

tranquil junco
#

loganh tetra wind support

unique flame
#

otherwise you will get double countered each time

#

and lose your dds

#

the issue with tetra is that she is going to get 3v1'ed here and isn't the best tank

tranquil junco
#

shrug i use delphoi with logan but fair

tough rose
#

i'm not entirely sure what else can deal with the provoke, i'm trying to think of something that doesn't sound outlandish

tranquil junco
#

you can also probably copper this in some manner tbh

unique flame
#

vero or racuni are the other 2

tough rose
#

i was going to say vero but i thought that sounded insane

unique flame
#

how is that insane

#

vero has been a big counter to jeanne since forever

tough rose
#

has he?

tranquil junco
#

ya

tough rose
#

mind you there's many years of gaps within my knowledge

unique flame
#

copper dozer should be great actually

tough rose
#

it makes sense to me

unique flame
#

copper chandra, dozer jeanne

tranquil junco
#

just.... make sure will

#

bc even though its the boonies, madmen with swift chandra do exist

tough rose
#

on all 3. got it.

unique flame
#

i'm willing to take that gamble

#

no one is going to have swift chandra

tough rose
#

so logan rina veromos could work?

tranquil junco
#

prolly

unique flame
#

might be low on heal, racuni here might be better

#

also if you have seara or some other cool nat 5 bruiser its better

tough rose
#

ah

unique flame
#

than logan

tough rose
#

i will rune her up

#

i never use seara

tranquil junco
#

FatCatIDK seara is actually a sick bruiser rn

#

with the advent of manon

unique flame
#

what

#

you gotta have seara

tough rose
#

hold on

#

there was something i read that made me think it was not ideal from beginner pvp

#

i think that i ended up not compartmentalizing a few things

#

the first one being that it not being recommended in bomb teams doesn't mean it's not recommended

unique flame
#

basically i think while something like logna vero rina will win most of the time

#

i can see bad rng causing most of your team to be cc'ed and you just slowly die from lack of heals

tranquil junco
#

so something to consider about seara

#

is her bombs ignore element

#

and go thru hug/manon

tough rose
#

ahhhh

tranquil junco
#

so you have a ton of flexibility

#

in how you use her

tough rose
#

manon can't parry bombs either?

#

got it

#

i will set her up

tranquil junco
#

bombs also dont trigger geldnir

unique flame
#

or also if you use a fire bruiser instead of wind

tranquil junco
#

if they set off naturally

unique flame
#

you can feel better about not hitting xing

tranquil junco
#

KAKI

unique flame
#

and just eating his counters

#

yea kaki or khmun

#

john 🙂

#

bombers are great here personally i would have fun with this and use fran liebli triana

tranquil junco
#

ngl having two fully skilled kakis is such a nice qol

tough rose
#

i'm assuming right is better here for seara?

tranquil junco
#

ugh maff

#

i think so

unique flame
#

not too much different

tough rose
#

alright

unique flame
#

dont stress it

tranquil junco
#

it honestly amuses me wind has 3 bruisers who all completely ignore element

#

and most ppl dont use them for that

tranquil junco
#

all completely ignore element

#

and ppl dont exploit that nearly as much as id expect

unique flame
#

skogul?

#

if you count dom you have to count feng too

#

every element has a bunch i dont think wind is unique here

spiral dome
#

what do you guys play into seara nora kinki? does logan play a role?

unique flame
#

or replace a fire support with a tetra

spiral dome
tranquil junco
#

no

#

you need damage mitigation in some way

unique flame
#

streaming siege now btw

tough rose
drifting hearth
#

make a schedule pls 🥺

tough rose
#

he just does it when he has time usually

tranquil junco
#

Jx streams are sporadic

drifting hearth
#

rip

#

honestly it would be great to see any of u streaming siege content

tough rose
#

i'd stream my siege but i'm not sure anyone would watch :D;;

drifting hearth
#

I would!

tough rose
#

3/10/2023 siege & previous
vs Harmonia, Vigor, Roid
Bulldozer Copper Imesety
I think works fine, it could lose to swift vigor if I ran into someone crazy enough to do that but that's a risk I'm willing to take there. The problem is my bulldozer is just not good, plain and simple

#

Logan Triana Rina
I think this is not the best either, I can 100% lose to procs here.
Solution: I think water tank + double wind bruiser is the safest option here. Hraesvelg, cdmg triana, rina seems like a good second option with copper bulldozer if I can improve copper bulldozer.

#

vs Mo Long, Betta, Narsha
Leo riley roid
was silly, after I did it I felt really dumb to be honest
Covenant Praline Sonia
The next one was unfortunate, my covenant did not one shot mo long. I tried to use covenant to kill mo long since I figured it was more likely that there was gonna be -wind on mo long which could prevent me from 1 shotting him. (remember next time to swap atk artifact also)
Seara Triana Chacha
We were speaking before in the thread about how seara is excellent and underutilized as a wind bruiser. I figured I'd give her a try since I thought with destroy cdmg triana I should be able to burn through mo long. This is where you can see I made a big error. I was supposed to go for betta first. But when I think about it like this I'm not sure that just the add damage would be enough, especially considering that betta has anti-crit built in and there's a good chance she's on 100% res, in which case it just doesn't work well.

Solution: I think Galleon Tiana Cheongpung is probably my best bet, but I had already used it. I do not have another solution. I think in the future I will have to skip this defense if I see it again and Galleon Tiana Cheongpung is used. Double snipe could work with better runes but I don't really plan on farming more DD runes for awhile, and I plan on retiring covenant/praline/sonia offense next season. I think I probably need to almost exclusively play bruiser next season for my debut in g3.

#

Vs Amber Nora Savannah
Tesa Lala Camilla
This was just poor in general. I thought about it in my head but it did not play out in any way the way I thought it would in my head. I did not think that tesa would die before getting a turn here, but he melted, same with lala.
Vero Lulu Feng Yen
This one was actually not terrible- I think that if I runed this properly it could be a bit better, but I'm still sure there are better ideas. I think if I had juno instead of vero then this would be a very good team, with feng taking the lead skill slot. what was terrible was how I runed it. I put vero on a fairly squishy bruiser build and he just ended up dying. I think all I really needed was veromos to be tankier. I actually almost won this despite enemy getting many many procs. But almost does not count.

Solution: I'm puzzled with this one honestly still. No solution yet.

VS MST
TWL
To be honest I was pretty frustrated at this point with myself and I forgot to give lulu -dark and I lost.
I think that there are also better and safer counters. I kind of was really upset with myself at this point already to be honest and just wanted to be done with siege. I think the worst siege I'd had before this was 5-5. So losing 6 times already made me kind of mentally check out there.

Solution: Do not be a tilted idiot

tough rose
drifting hearth
#

We seem to be goin through the same stuffs lmao

#

not happy enough with dd runes > switching to bruiser while trying to get into g3 siege > lose free attacks thanks to being tilted

#

I had my worst siege ever today too lol

real vault
#

Gemini cleave?

#

Feng lulu tesa/twl/jeanne helena leo

shell vapor
#

so ur team was good

#

avoid hitting roid in the end because they have revenge a lot of the times

#

kill vigor first

real vault
#

Mo Betta narsha you can lushen, or similar to the harm vigor roid def, you bring 2 wind bruisers and a dark tank (usually chacha)

#

Could also do tesa chacha triana (something along the lines of that)

ripe kraken
tough rose
proud shale
#

Does Juno work well against Amber if yes Leo Juno Racuni

#

Never saw Amber here on def

#

or Leo Lala Juno or so hmm

tough rose
proud shale
#

No idea about that def since I never saw that but Khmun+Loren Elucia could work

tough rose
#

If you don't know pls let someone else give advice =)

proud shale
#

I mean I am not that dumb

#

Okay didnt make it to tourny this season but regardless you can just shut the roid down with Loren

#

and sleep Vigor

#

and Khmun destroy stall the Harmonia

tough rose
#

it's not about intelligence, I would just rather have answers from people that have more experience with it.

#

don't get personally offended pls :)

proud shale
#

I mean I dont mind getting berated by other people too who have faced that def more

tough rose
#

nobody gonna berate anyone here

proud shale
#

Well berate wrong word but lets say

#

Get advice

shell vapor
#

Also make sure u are using s1 first to get atk buff before you combo

tranquil junco
#

During my break next season I might stream hits

unique flame
#

harm vigor roid - you have the right idea. you'll have to show replays or runes of your specific mons like dozer or logan if you think something wrong is happening. you'll never see swift vigor don't worry about that. although there may be some cracked players with a vio set faster than your swift set lol. your standard double snipe comp (like cov kahli praline) is another offense you can use against this, it's basically same thing as copper dozer.

#

mo betta narsha - you are right in your analysis that tiana cp is the best vs this, no question. sniping it with something else is a bit dangerous since betta has high base spd and is possible for her to be on swift. bruisering it out is also not really recommended. theres lots of variants of dark tank + 2 wind that can have decent win rate but narsha is extremely hard to tank no matter what.

#

amber nora sav - tesa lala camilla is actually one of the more popular counters against this sort of def. you should show a replay and/or builds. maybe you misplayed. but i do agree it's not the safest. it's never going to be safe when your only source of cleanse is a lala vs nora. you could try using a secondary cleanser/support instead of tesa such as XF or Kumar. or if you have Juno then it becomes pretty free. the problem with non-fire cleaners like vero or tetra is that they can die easily to a few sav procs

#

also for this def specifically you could just carc lushen it

twin gate
#

use khmun instead of carc imo for amber nora sav then just lushen it

ripe kraken
#

Oh true

twin gate
#

odds of amber being a lushen trap arent high and khmun pretty reliably deals with nora sav from my experience

ripe kraken
#

Khumn more sustain

#

And he ruins Nora

twin gate
#

add by hp on his right side will do a number too incase nora decides to provoke you 29 times in a row

#

and the spam heal block makes it only a matter of time before you kill her

proud shale
#

But make sure its Teon over Kona if Khmun but if you only have Kona get Will on Lushen+Kona at least I think

Its rare but IF swift Sav your slightly losing with Khmun Lead + Kona , Teon has the speed edge
If you have Dova forget all of it

Maybe 1+2 cents extra if you are paranoid (its less likely than a Swift Vigor)

i'll post it tomorrow when i correct it

yeah I definitely loaded old runes

i noticed my leo is on a poor build as well that i had redone

#

i'll go through and redo him, logan and some others and post it here

tough rose

oops. replied to the wrong one. meant to reply to the amber one here

#

but either way i'll start saving more of this info probably like how cloud always does in videos going over runes and artifacts just so I can look back at it and understand more

#

thanks for replying everyone. i'll check back in tomorrow after a decent night's rest and reply to everything.

unique flame
#

being squishy or not to die in 1 turn is not the issue. you slowly die after a few turns even if you're super tanky

tranquil junco
#

I think Logan chacha Triana is fine here

proud shale
#

It can be but Narsha can also extremely quickly pop you

shell vapor
#

can chacha really tank narsha susge

tough rose
#

these were the runes used. I think tesarion was too squishy. i was using him on a defense (theo tesa riley). I've dissolved that defense since then

#

I was trying to rune him by hand afterwards and this is what I came up with for general purpose. I do end up using his leader skill quite often but I am unsure how important it is

#

I plan on reruning everything next FRR. Like, everything. I'm going to start the process of making a runing order. I know I can swap my best set around between monsters but to be honest outside of dupes I really find it to be tedious, cumbersome and sucks a lot of the fun out of siege to manually switch for a best set. It also costs way too freaking much mana.

#

This was one of the first times I've fully runed a monster by hand. With this, I had some guidelines I set.

  1. At least 239 tick
  2. At least 59% Res
  3. At least 85% CR
  4. At least +20k HP (This one fell a tiny bit short, but I feel like I made up for it with defense)
  5. At least +500 DEF
  6. At least 35 accuracy
  7. Rest split between damage and survivability
#

I was able to hit the numbers a lot closer on the mark than I normally would have with SWOP I feel, and I plan to rune my monster important monsters by hand from now on. But with that said, if this is totally off the mark, please tell me - I do want to improve my process here

#

What sort of eHP do you think is suitable as a minimum to set for logan while bruisering with destroy?

summer stone
#

as much as your runes allow

#

I think mine is like 70k ish

#

I have a prio list for my siege off if you’re interested to see

tough rose
#

Sure I'd be happy to take a look furyn if you're willing to share!

#

I always put speed totem on as always just a reminder because it makes it easier for me

#

But nothing else is on

carmine mason
#

and then i put this into swop

#

so u can do "ignore runes in higher prioritiy monsters"

tough rose
#

that is wise

tough rose
#

Trying to think. Wish I had the ability to test it. Maybe like Louise momo Grego? I can't run this since missing both nat 5s there.

unique flame
#

grego is a really good dark tank

#

but personally i think ive given up on trying to tank narsha with anything

#

cleave or skip for me

#

there's no difference between how you use grego vs any other dark tank

#

in terms of what other monsters to use

#

don't let his half healing trick you into thinking you have to treat him differently

#

aka don't be tempted to bring in chasun, chasun still sucks

tough rose
#

I was thinking more about shielding

unique flame
#

yea you can but he still works with any regular healer

tough rose
#

Maybe Sonia Riley Grego with 45 res on grego. It actually was making me think of chasun since she buffs less than Riley so less damage from narsha s2.

#

But it still sounds risky

#

Idk with -20 light he is taking 30% damage. I feel like it's possible.

#

Oh and the HP recovery on riley is not based on her max HP while chasun is. Oof.

tough rose
# tough rose

@carmine mason what do you think of this? Does this seem sensible as an end result?

unique flame
#

i would increase the acc requirement too

tough rose
#

Is it not so good? CR slot 4?

unique flame
#

it is good. i just didn't know if you were planning on that with slot 4 cd or cr

tough rose
#

Yeah I think I would settle for less otherwise. That would require my best runes and even then

unique flame
#

oh ok its fine then. but yea still would try to get acc higher than 35

tough rose
#

What sounds more reasonable? 50? I ended on 46 with 61 s3 accuracy from artifacts.

tranquil junco
#

I think 65 total has been my sweet spot personally

tough rose
#

65 total overall? No artifacts?

#

I'll rerune accordingly if so.

carmine mason
#

i gave tesa my best offense set this season

tough rose
#

that is the train i'm on

carmine mason
#

i feel like having him cd build with good tankiness, max acc, and near max cr is really worth it

tough rose
#

i definitely can't make all of that happen

carmine mason
#

i would see if u can get 85 cr with 60 acc

tough rose
#

I can do it on cdmg with my best runes

carmine mason
#

i would drop cdamg as first thing

#

but its really ince

#

nice

tough rose
#

yeah I plan to

#

next FRR i'm gonna redo everything and make a list like this

i think you can optimize your runes a bit to make things better without having to have higher quality of runes

#

like your slot 6 is meh and has no gem, your slot 5 doesn't have cr and useless atk

tough rose
#

I think I do need to just farm more for it

#

I just don't really have bd/copper runes

#

Consequence of not really understanding for a long time that I would need them

#

I just have almost no def% runes and I haven't been thinking enough about copper/bulldozer

unique flame
#

yea you have to make a conscious effort to look out for them and roll them

tough rose
#

Right.

unique flame
#

even blue ones

#

which is where the most "effort" comes in because its easy to just discount those kinds of runes and auto sell

tough rose
#

I check my blues on 2/4/6 very frequently

#

Like if a rage drops I check it

#

For me it is never about effort. Just about pain. I'm hoping that this gets resolved because to be honest I really do want to check more runes :D Maybe within a year or so. Just need to find proper treatment

explain this black magic tech please

carmine mason
#

tomoe lm sav - riley molly douglas hit auto

#

it can be trapped

#

but its usually fairly good

gentle condor
#

isn't that scary when they all focus riley?

tough rose
#

could somebody please explain to me what coco cleaving is?

unique flame
#

yea its all about finding a way to take first turn and give coco 2 turns in a row at the start

#

simply doing swift coco + swift kona right behind her, does not work due to how atb and resurge works

#

so you have 2 ways to do it, one is coco > kahli > light homu/tablo

#

or you can do coco > secondary atb booster > kona (the 2 really cool options here are chandra and meph which both do something useful besides just atb boost)

#

(everything on swift in both cases)

#

for arena, you can add a jamire to the combo and get even more turns without enemy moving

spiral dome
#

what is specifically countered by these teams?

summer stone
#

She’s a multi single target hit nuke

tranquil junco
#

or manon

#

bc a lot of hits + its true damage so it cant glance

spiral dome
#

carc molley theo f.e

#

whats the first target here with coco?

#

coco chandra kona as team

unique flame
#

coco has 2 relatively unique things that give her advantages over traditional nukers

#
  1. no-crit, no-glance, atk-based fixed dmg. this means she's safe into things like molly and kinki
#
  1. multihits. this means she's more reliable into manon, and can also kill things through triana

@unique flame how important do you think 239 tick is on delphoi? i can either do 205 tick off violent will or 239 tick will/misc.

unique flame
#

in what context

tough rose
# unique flame in what context

with triana delphoi dark tank (jultan? jubelle?) into hyanes vigor liu mei
or i'm using delphoi with fran delphoi kaki vs carcano vigor triana
or i'm using delphoi in comps vs iunu grego orion, not sure what the +2 looks like here, maybe herne fits better here, don't know for sure

i only recently built delphoi and i've been trying to think of situations where i'd be using her, maybe these comps aren't the best examples and i haven't exactly seen delphoi used much so hard to give concrete examples

basically i'd like to have delphoi runed so i can use her in situations where i would generally be considering taking her. i think out of the three will is important for #2 mostly

i'd be happy to hear more suggestions on when she is applicable

unique flame
#

i would go for vio/will 100 res 205 tick

drifting hearth
#

Any real use for Moore on siege or I should just not bother building him?

unique flame
#

hard to say, definitely not great at least

#

you'll see him occasionally on def but i haven't really seen any good moore defs

#

it's more just rta players trying to find an excuse to use him in siege

drifting hearth
#

Got it. Storage then thanks

drifting hearth
#

Whenever gall bernard julie is used it's mostly against defs like that? Squishy + no spd threat?

#

Wondering if a +205 spd bernard is something I can rely on to as a offense on low g3 sieges

unique flame
#

squishy but it is intended to be able to challenge speed

#

its 24 lead + 111 base spd booster. hard to get better than that

#

+205 bernard is more than fast enough

upper flint

Best thing about Bernard is that it can easily clean up if something survives Julie

when do you actually use julie/lushen offenses

#

i feel like i play way too conservatively with them

#

ie never using

unique flame
unique flame
#

but that is quite often in the guild im in

#

so i do get to use julie/lushen like every siege

tranquil junco
#

see i dont use notes

unique flame
#

i dont use notes either i just ask

tranquil junco
#

bc its either in season and idc enough to read notes

unique flame
#

im fortunate enough to be in a guild where there is that high level of activity

#

sometimes people do the work for me like

#

"hey we need a hit on this. it can be julied."

tranquil junco
#

our usual strat is call in the bobby

unique flame
#

"it can be julied" implies its not swift trap

#

so we dont need to call in a bobby

tranquil junco
#

ok but bobby cant be swift trapped so he does it blind too

unique flame
#

yea but that can be trapped by just will/tanky units

tranquil junco
#

julie will stay benched i suppose

unique flame
#

but i mean at all levels below that very top

#

no one makes unusual swift or tanky cleave traps

#

julie/lushen is great blind into a ton of stuff

Doesn’t laika solo in that copper dozer comp?

drifting hearth

Otherwise the counters looked sound

tough rose

Bulldozer is strong against laika's passive

#

If he goes crazy it still is very winnable. Imesety really doesn't need anything except spd and tankiness so you can take -fire. I've ran it vs this many times. I'm sure it's possible to lose but I think win probability is high

shell vapor

and then the 3v2 against seara orion is kinda hard to lose

i'm also confused by the multipliers

s1 does do more damage, right?

#

that was what i was told

shell vapor
shell vapor
#

which you will have after draco s3

tough rose
#

how come it matters? cd as less max hp?

shell vapor
#

because s1 scales off atk spd

#

oh you mean the tuning ?

tough rose
#

yes

#

tuning sorry

shell vapor
#

well in the scenario that you kill kahli with t1 u get an extra turn in on garo

#

whereas if garo went first and kahli had enough dmg to kill anyways the garo turn did nothing

#

also u want kahli to give garo the atk spd buff again the next turn after

since dracos spd buff is 1 turn only

ahhhhhh

that makes sa lot of sense

Hit 1: Coco Cami Riley/Doug Woosa Dom: fine, but you can go just classic lushen + smth like suiki to clean up
Hit 2: TWL/CVT. Fine
Hit 3: GDK into SOR. This is stock afaik
Hit 4: Cov Praline Sonia into WMK Ophi Anavel. Seems fine, nobody runs swift ophi this low
Hit 5: Water twins fellaria into MST. This is fine, but there are better options into MST which idk if you have them.
Hit 6: Cp cleave into mo harm taranys. Honestly somewhat overkill, you can logan triana rina this easily but w/e works
Hit 7: Mihy Lushen Dova into Shi Hou Bastet Daphnis. Seems fine
hit 8: Dozer Imnesty Copper into Jeanne Ritesh laika. Honestly, i really like something like olivia dozer lulu here. Laika can be a problem in theory
Hit 9: MVL into KVT. Stock
Hit 10: TWL into Galleon Clara Kaki. You can julie this tbh, but this should work fine

i know your against swapping but atleast swap fastest swift set

tough rose
#

i used like 7m mana this siege switching runes this siege, trying to make that not have to happen with swift :D

#

i literally did this siege and i ended up -7m mana

#

because of all the swapping i had to do to run all these teams

tranquil junco
#

Hmmmm idk what your depth looks like

tough rose
#

please stop suggesting swapping, i've said like 20 times i don't want that as a suggestion. i will do it when and where i can

#

swift depth is very very lacking, i'm farming giants to try to fix that

unique flame
#

yea i would not race claras unless you were using your fastest set

#

however if you were to try to optimize and swift race a bit more

#

you should save draco team for this

#

and then use your second fastest set vs the orion

#

its much less common to put your fastest swift on orion

#

i mean even in g3

#

i see plenty of people putting some junk ass weak swift sets on orion

#

or vio

tranquil junco
#

7M mana means you switched for what

#

6 hits?

tough rose
#

let's see

#

i switched TWL

tranquil junco
#

at a certain point a lot of your offenses become pretty preset rune wise

tough rose
#

switched to bernard/dova/mihyang

#

and swapped artifacts on everyone

#

i think i also +15'd an artifact

#

oh

#

fuck there was this douchebag

#

okay

#

so i swapped runes/artifact on a full offense and then this guy in my guild took my reserve

tough rose
# tranquil junco Hit 1: Coco Cami Riley/Doug Woosa Dom: fine, but you can go just classic lushen ...

with hit 4, i plan to retire this offense (cov praline sonia) next season, i am not confident in my runes there to snipe consistently in g3
what outside of TQ raoq verde would you suggest vs MST? i've tried TWL but it seems hit or miss
with #6, i need to remember about how i can simply bring triana into mo long. i've not been thinking of this enough.
#7 - what is the kill order if i do olivia dozer lulu? (Jeanne, Ritesh, Laika is the defense) i haven't built olivia yet and i'm curious if she is used frequently enough in more difficult siege to put her on my to-build list

why can't you just do susano megan stella? shouldn't that work?

#

vs MST

#

martina -> shaina -> triana

summer stone
#

you can

tough rose
#

i'm fine with swapping runes off an icaru for a good hit

#

that's not so bad in comparison to other stuff

shell vapor
shell vapor
#

If you have a bethony that’s another solid mst hit

tough rose
#

no i wish

shell vapor
#

there is the mihyang dozer comp as well but that’s quite a bit harder to rune than the others

tough rose
#

got it. i have options at the very least!

#

i actually really like felleria water twins

shell vapor
#

yeah felleria and molly r the top 2 for light tanks into MST imo

tranquil junco
tough rose
#

i'm trying to think of how this works in my head

#

if megan boost -> stella s3 kill martina, does triana get the turn next or susano?

#

because i'm worried about the shaina aoe def break into triana going crazy
but at the same time it feels statistically unlikely to lose especially since susano is effectively -65% CR from triana

shell vapor
#

triana will cut but the main concern is a CD triana procing and deleting ur units

tough rose
#

yeah that part i understand

shell vapor
#

u need to build on high damage otherwise u won’t have enough juice to kill which means a well built CD triana can quite literally one shot

tough rose
#

theoretically it should not be terribly effective against susano

#

that makes sense, especially if it's some crazy yolo triana

summer stone
#

a decent dd triana will hit like 10 ishk

tough rose
shell vapor
#

U have speed lead

#

And raoq has higher base

#

u lose to nem

summer stone
#

you lose if shaina is too squishy

tough rose
#

dead could you please refrain from answering the things i am asking here if its OK? no disrespect =)

summer stone
#

its right tho

shell vapor
#

he is right tho

tough rose
#

i'm not speaking specifically about this

#

and i'm not saying you're wrong

shell vapor
#

squishy nem shaina can cut and cuck u

#

tq does a lot of dmg

summer stone
#

ill stop though

tough rose
#

ty, i appreciate your understanding

#

hmm i guess that the better question is if i would lose to swift shaina potentially since my raoq isn't +200 or anything like that

shell vapor
#

I mean the potential to get outsped is always there

tough rose
#

157

shell vapor
#

Okay yeah that is a little slow

#

even with lead if it’s a swift shaina there’s a good chance u get outsped

yep gotta work on the spd

i'm trying to figure out how you and others have such problem with getting decent spd

#

like this was a few months of casual farming

#

7 monsters all at least +185 sets

tough rose
#

i wish i had an answer

unique flame
#

its just 3 blue swift runes, 2 broken purp triple spd runes, random slot 2 spd swift

#

thats all it takes

tough rose
#

are we talking about max rolled blue? because i do roll my blues. i roll for 17 speed or higher generally

shell vapor
#

on a base 100, 5 max blues with 4 grinds is +177

tough rose
#

all max grinded?

#

max hero

shell vapor
#

+4 grind

#

ye

tough rose
#

i do not have many max blue swift runes

unique flame
#

i just looked through most of mine

#

it's anywhere between 16-18 base spd on the swift runes

tough rose
#

but i mean it doesn't have to be max blue

unique flame
#

and the triple rolls (on non-swift) are usually 20-22 base spd

tough rose
#

i have fast enough broken runes to make it faster

#

the problem is that i also need stats on raoq

unique flame
#

and of course i dno't have max purple grinds on all my swifts

#

a lot are still +3

tough rose
#

well

#

i don't need a lot of stats, but i want to at least have 100% cr

unique flame
#

yea slot 4 cr takes care of it

tough rose
#

i have no idea either because i farm much more than the average player struggling with swift speed as well

#

but at the same time i farm mostly raid, then everything else is fairly even except pc10

#

like 70% raid 30% everything else split evenly more or less

unique flame
#

probably main thing is i farm barely any necro

#

necro sucks

tough rose
#

i have been trying to find my lushen set there

#

but yeah it literally makes no sense jx

#

i agree

unique flame
#

i'm probably doing roughly like... 25% giants, 20% dragons, 30% raid, 2% necro, 15% sf, 3% pc

tough rose
#

because of course my broken runes are gonna be fast enough to compensate

unique flame
#

its not worth to try to get a rage set from necro

#

will is getting less and less valuable

#

can get destroy from dhole

#

fatal is same as rage

tough rose
#

i mean i don't like will either

unique flame
#

and honestly just spend reapps on rage/blade

#

to get a lushen set

tough rose
#

i've been saying for awhile that i'm not a will enthusiast

unique flame
#

you don't need to farm necro to get a few bases

tough rose
#

think i just need to stop seeing fatal and rage as different sets

#

the only other thing is i'd still like rage runes for copper bulldozer

unique flame
#

rage is great. its just that the rest of necro rune sets are bad

tough rose
#

i mean i think destroy is great

#

you're right about dhole and i have more destroy than i need pretty much always

unique flame
#

which dhole do you farm

#

if you farm lumel

#

you definitely should be farming necro even less

tough rose
#

right now karzhan, i have plenty of will/destroy

unique flame
#

ok kz is good

tough rose
#

i do lumel or karzhan

#

there have been some instances recently where i've gone to rune a monster and haven't felt like i had fast enough will
like with delphoi earlier for example
i'll just sprinkle a bit in

#

you know i think it's this stupid ass bias i have where

#

every good lushen i see is on rage

#

so my brain thinks that it is very different

#

despite me knowing mathematically they are very close

carmine mason
#

necro sucks

#

giants is the real dungeon

carmine mason
#

rage is also the rarest set in necro (lowest drop rate)

tough rose
#

i guess i will become a fatal lushen enthusiast

carmine mason
#

i realized last week my top lushen fatal set is roughly the same as my rage

tranquil junco
#

honestly for lushen

#

just see which set has the better top end

#

and work around that for farming

#

so if you have 2 cracked fatal runes, look for fatal

tough rose
#

i think rage does but idk i have felt forever that will runes are very overrated

#

oh i see

#

i have cracked neither

i'll go through them again

Alright thank you very much guys

tough rose
carmine mason
#

Ok I’m going to give you a hot take

tough rose
#

hit me with it

carmine mason
#

I was really slow to make 2a on my account because I was very behind in runes

#

2a can go out of meta

#

Runes are forever

tough rose
#

damn

#

you right though actually

carmine mason
#

Certain things I think are staples but like. Who uses more than 1 chacha in a siege these days

tough rose
#

i've felt like i've wanted more than one but i think that's because i've undervalued jubelle and I DONT HAVE GOOD ENOUGH RUNES FOR HIM

carmine mason
#

Yeah but I think for the most part you can work around it

unique flame
#

farming dhole runes is never a waste but i also wouldn't stress making extra 2as just because you're afraid it goes out of meta

tough rose
#

more runes would help with that. i feel like at least.

unique flame
#

nothing ever permanently goes out of meta

tough rose
#

sin?

unique flame
#

it's always a circle and sometimes things become useless for a season or 2 and then come back later

tough rose
#

wait 2as you mean. haha.

unique flame
#

what do you mean sin

#

sin never was meta

carmine mason
#

@ripe kraken

tough rose
#

ah. i thought he was for awhile.

#

do you guys build your jubelle triple revenge?

carmine mason
#

Yeah I just move chacha set tbh

#

Same for jultan

tough rose
#

i want to start making less compromises in terms of moving sets because i feel like every time i do i start making significantly less progress

#

think tq/garo raoq verde @upper flint

#

except water and lit

#

i think

#

a very woke version of the tried and true

#

nah in all seriousness though i'm not entirely sure. it seems similar though

carmine mason
#

I saw a lot of people in like g2 siege making 5 lala when Nora was meta

#

And I would not do that unless I was competing for tourney thst season

#

Too much

tough rose
#

i don't want to be too ambitious with my goals but i'd like to eventually be playing in tourney

upper flint
unique flame
#

just dont make a lot of any single thing

#

like dont make your 5th lulu before your 2nd vigor

carmine mason
#

Yeah

tough rose
#

i actually don't have a jultan yet

upper flint
#

Jultan is much better than I expected it to be

tough rose
#

are people using him a good amount these days? i saw the cool defense that you guys used last siege

spiral dome
#

I have 1x jultan, jubelle and chacha and I use them every now and then in low g3

tough rose
#

i just regained so much hope for playing in low g3 siege

drifting hearth
#

Whenever I use jultan I'm pretty happy about how he does his job properly every time

#

solid unit

ripe kraken

#

who tf is sin KEKW

upper flint

Fire martial artist

drifting hearth
#

fire martial artist

spiral dome
#

haven't seen him anywhere yet

upper flint
#

Well that's cuz he sucks

drifting hearth
#

He had the potential to be good

upper flint
#

Cannot be def broken, but that's literally all he does, it has garbo stats and his skills don't really do much

carmine mason
#

I know a lot of people that made 10 lulus also

#

Feels overkill for 99% of people

#

I don’t have more than 4 of any 2a and haven’t ever felt crunched by it

spiral dome
#

which ones you have 4 of?

carmine mason
#

Lulu Bernard

spiral dome
#

bernard surprises me

#

whats there besides julie bernard

carmine mason
#

Wh does there need to be more

spiral dome
#

you use julie bernard gal that often?

carmine mason
#

Yes

spiral dome
carmine mason
#

I move runes

#

It’s a bit of a time crunch thing tho - not recommending it to all

spiral dome
#

ah ok

carmine mason
#

In normal season people don’t trap cleave really

spiral dome
#

to date I'm only switching swift set and sometimes fat lushen

carmine mason
#

I also think that back prenerf lulu was worth more dupes I just wasn’t as serious about siege yet

spiral dome
#

how much dmg per card does your julie do?

carmine mason
#

Depends on a lot of factors

#

My Julie is +2100 atk 190 cd

#

Furyn guide on how to rune the offense hug

spiral dome
#

ty

#

will rune it up

#

time to build 3rd galleon

#

or unrune the 1 from christina chloe off, dom molly molo isn't used much anymore

drifting hearth
#

I always think about using bernard gall julie on low g3 but I'm simply no confident at all on a +205 bernard D:

#

jx said its fine but idk I just think it will be bad

#

xD

spiral dome
#

should be fine vs clara monte eshir I guess

drifting hearth
#

I'm never confident enough to cleave stuff honestly x_x

unique flame
#

there's lots of things to hit that aren't typically going to be built on swift

#

for example things like iris or lm

#

i would avoid claras and eshirs

#

in my experience it is even more common for lower levels to put decent swift on those 2 units

#

than at higher levels

cobalt eagle
#

yea from my experience in different g1 guilds

#

all the claras are swift

#

lol

#

fast swift too

spiral dome
#

you use it against only nat 4 defs or also nat5's?

unique flame
#

that is a consideration that has never even crossed my mind

cobalt eagle
#

ive used it into 5* defs a couple times

#

low level siege tho

unique flame
#

every single nat 4 offense in existence can be used against 5* without deeming it to be some sort of weaker or leftover team

spiral dome
#

you're right KEKW

#

should work against this right?

unique flame
#

i wouldn't blindly julie that

#

again, the targets you're looking for are going to be either stuff that are squishy

#

and/or stuff that typically aren't going to be built on will

#

all of those units are naturally tanky, and will is not uncommon

upper flint
proud shale
proud shale
#

Id just bruiser it with some boring Tesa+Lala Talc or Rina it tbh

#

jx summarized it well you aim for stuff that is naturally squishy

#

Blind Julie generally is a bit scarier since there is a lot of stuff on will nowadays

unique flame
#

i dont know what you mean nowadays, will is less common now than it was before overall

#

julie is more meta as an offense now exactly because will is so much less common

proud shale
#

Its super common EU

unique flame
#

it used to be you slapped will on literally everything

spiral dome
proud shale
#

if you run into slower stuff which doesnt speed theeaten

unique flame
spiral dome
#

ok ty

#

got an idea now

unique flame
#

no one builds slow AND squishy units

#

on def

proud shale
#

Many speed tiers below Gall Bernard though

#

Like this Carc LM is probably a Bruiser Carc and a Bruiser Theo

#

While "fast" its not crazy fast like Mihyang Eshir

unique flame
#

i don't think you're even following this conversation

#

you're just saying random shit now

carmine mason
#

Bernard is skilled up otherwise you need your units to be faster. His boost scales with skillups

spiral dome
#

Sad that swop doesn't do that automatically

carmine mason
#

You can just adjust it

@shell vapor

tough rose

ok guys, a bit less off topic discussion if possible :D

just so I can keep things organized here

tranquil junco
#

Would be good

#

Snipe, bruiser, cleave

#

How to ID which angle to take

#

Would be interesting

summer stone
#

^

#

verbalizing your thought process on why you pick a certain team/ team architype into a certain defense would be cool

tranquil junco
#

I can take a crack at it post tourney, but it would be written

#

And focusing on snipe cores bc that’s my specialty

summer stone
#

id be curious to learn more about sniping

#

I almost never run it, mostly just brusier and cleave

tough rose
#

he made a double snipe video already which is excellent

#

more like that would be good for sure

tranquil junco
#

Yeah my focus is actually

#

Single snipe

#

For the most part

twin gate
#

2v3 angle is op

tranquil junco
#

Way example

#

Is

#

Louise Miles Nora

summer stone
#

only one I use is khmun cov kona

twin gate
#

It's much easier to manip 2 targets versus 3

tranquil junco
#

Odin Riley Kinki

#

I hit them very similarly

#

By just removing one unit and then ensuring I can win the resulting 3v2 with the remaining units the team I chose has

summer stone
#

who do you snipe in odin riley kinki?

#

the kinki id assume but how

tranquil junco
#

Kinki

#

Coco, mo Icares, etc

#

Anything that can remove Kinki in 2 units

#

With the last unit being laika

summer stone
#

great

tranquil junco
#

Who soloes Odin Riley

summer stone
#

i have none of those

tranquil junco
#

L

summer stone
#

any f2p options?

twin gate
#

Also just like look out for kahli support team potential

#

Kahli lulu triana is a real team

#

Same with molly in place of kahli

tranquil junco
#

For Kinki specifically for sniping? No

summer stone
#

i like hwadam shren triana

#

i use that too

tranquil junco
#

Something to note is

#

Windy does 1v1 Kinki

#

Lol

#

i think a big part of what's "missing" from the knowledge of newer players is simply the experience of knowing what monsters do and how they are typically built (i.e. on def)

#

people just want to be able to watch a video or read a guide and suddenly become experts at something. this isn't how this game or anything else in life works

#

there is no substitute for grinding the time and experience yourself of actually playing the game

#

and then asking questions after you lose

#

and then learning from that

carmine mason
#

i need something i can watch in the next 24 hours so i can get legend pls advise

unique flame
#

a basic example would be for arena - when we talk about lushen ao, we say that a fat lushen team is good against speed ADs

#

but what is a speed AD? Is it anything with a spd lead? no, not necessarily

#

there's many nuances to that that can't be explained with just a guide or video

tranquil junco
#

True

#

I do think a guide that takes off from unit recognition to basic strategy would be beneficial

#

The key for my play style for example is recognizing signpost units/cores that can be simplified

unique flame
#

i think people understand the basic strategy already

#

for double snipe you have some fast booster on swift. 2 single target def ignore spd tuned behind it

#

pew pew 2 monsters and then you win

tranquil junco
#

Sure but that doesn’t narrow down where to use it as well

unique flame
#

yea and thats what im saying

#

thats too hard to explain

tranquil junco
#

And I think just addressing the basic signposts

unique flame
#

other than just experience of knowing what every single unit on def does and how they are generally built

tranquil junco
#

And leaving them there

unique flame
#

like here's a nuanced example

#

let's say that the def has a monster that can be fast on swift that you may have trouble outspeeding, like eshir

#

so you'd think twice about using a standard double ignore against that because you're worreid eshir may outspeed your bastet, and boost their team to do stuff

#

but does that apply to any monster that can outspeed you on def? nope

#

maybe instead of an eshir it was a woosa

#

who also has high base spd and can be built on swift

#

but that's much less threatening to you and it could be ok to double ignore that def even if woosa outspeeds you

#

this is complex game and there's a lot to it. there are always more exceptions to the rule than things that follow basic rules or signposts

tranquil junco
#

Sure, but that can be covered by the assumption that anything that can be swift will be swift, and then what, on an identical swift set, actually hoses you

tough rose
#

alright if I had to choose, it would probably not be possible to cover in one video
but what i'd like a video on is how to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of a defense and how to capitalize/respond appropriately with what you bring
@carmine mason

tranquil junco
#

I’m thinking very macro level of a guide

unique flame
#

i mean what you want

#

is just for furyn to stream every siege or make a video of every siege

#

but do it consistently

#

and then you can get a library of examples to learn from

tough rose
#

and obviously defenses can be built multiple ways, but starting entry level is good i think
because most people are playing entry level

unique flame
#

i don't think 1 video in itself is going to do you any good

#

beyond what we've already provided

tough rose
#

i think that the double snipe video was excellent

shell vapor
#

u won’t learn by watching him galleon 10 times every siege though

carmine mason
#

i dont galleon 10x

#

i galleon like

#

3-4 times

#

but you can learn WHAT i galleon

shell vapor
#

true

tough rose
#

for sure having a library of examples is excellent, but for me i don't really want the answers as much as to know how to find them

unique flame
#

which is just review your hits and real examples every sieg
