Oh for goodness sake
I was so blindsided
I forgot I can use units that aren't tractor with cami windy lmao
Okay, so maybe more like harmonia camilla windy vs seara nana theo if I'm looking to bruiser
specifically against seara nana theo - this one is bad there's no strip or sustain so you can easily just do immunity bruiser, like woosa + anything
Ahhhh.
We do have a decent amount of leos actually
But yeah of course it's not unlimited
you can cleave with meph + atk buffer + lushen, or just julie lushen
Praline mephisto lushen?
Alright. I was just concerned because I'm playing into speed lead without one
how fast is a seara nana theo going to be
I'd expect 286
286 combat speed right?
yea so you can easily have a meph way faster without spd lead
That makes sense
I was talking with matt about just using triple will 0 spd mephisto so he can sit there and tank. I am curious about doing something like that and just running swift on kona instead
my preference is to have another dd in there
if theo kills lushen your meph may not be able to keep killing revived nana
so like i said id be using kahli meph lushen or hraes meph lushen
i know dmg with lushen is lower
but you have to consider the things you're hitting
very very unlikely seara is built to be a lushen trap
Yeah. I'd accept a loss to that
That would be so outlandish that I would not be worried about a loss to that lol.
Thank you, that helps a lot 🙇
against tl nora theo i'd use coco kahli tablo, or some other double snipe with kahli as the "booster"
if you want to bruiser it maybe xing tetra leo
I just fear being unable to one shot nora with kahli with 44% lead
I'm still running a crate kahli to meet reqs
The other thing I fear is swift nora
I have 2 sonias
Do you tune to speed buff?
yes
you can do slot 4 cr sonia and easily 1 shot the TL
kahli just gets your fastest set doesn't have to be optimized for dmg, you have speed advantage over nora and you're just buffing turn 1
And my second ignore is just a covenant tuned properly or something of this nature?
your 2nd dd to 1 shot nora may be a bit harder but still
yea
taru probably better here
Right. Because of requirements
claire if you have her
actually sorry cov or claire should be considered because of lead
Yeah I was thinking about cov for lead and because. He's covenant
beth has atk lead too if you ahve her
You mean bethony?
honestly valid, beth isn't a real monster
i remember you were using her in isa, no?
in arena against vanessa mst
i still do, she's fine
but every single change makes her worse and more generically worse
anyway yea the 2nd dd you rune for this is gonna be extremely difficult especially if you only have cov or taru as options
not much you can do. get better runes or let the whales handle it
I'm a little tadpole and I'm the biggest one in the guild right now
Unlucky??
But nah we have the premium options, I'm responsible for macro and stuff so I have no problems calling for an offense that we have
We have at least two claire kahli sonias IIRC
Is there a proper resource on tuning to speed buff yet? I know that SF discord had a bot and angel was trying to get it here
i'm sure there is but the only one i know if is angel's bot
maybe harass xzandro or reliosora to add this feature to their tuning calculators
maybe they can already? i dunno
XD
the discord bot is so handy i can use it on mobile
i'll ask, i know angel wanted to get the bot in here before he quit
that is op, give pls
i spent the last year reapping swift and farming mostly giants and it's helped a lot
thank god com2us decided to give you praline after that
funny com2us gave me dark kass before praline
it was totally necessary
you here all these cool siege players talk about double ignore
you have triple ignore

also funny while talking about theo i have whale option against him too with benedict
unfair
its ok next patch they'll give jaara anti death too
i'm still laughing over garo draco jaara
i was like "...fuck, you right though"
i'm actually still not sure what to recommend my guild to use vs MST, i'd like people to use praline where they can
because we definitely have some up and coming players. i'd like them to be able to hit mst
praline, teamup, beth, miri lushen
twl as last option
teamup as in both icaru ryan verde or TQ raoq verde
It is very important that you take one of these counters in. MST is a highly studied defense and bringing in random counters will get you losses.
SS tier -
__Bethony, Eshir, Konamiya. __
Ryan, Icaru, Verdehile.
Mirinae, Dova, Lushen.
**S tier **-
Tien Qin, Raoq, Verdehile.
A tier -
Gemini, Kahli, Leah
Tractor, Windy, Lulu.
B Tier -
Galleon, Bernard, Julie.
Carcano, Dova/Teon/Konamiya, Lushen.
Water twins molly/felleria/shamann.
this is what I wrote out for my guild
tq raoq verde is much easier to play but a bit weaker, icaru ryan is a bit prone to piloting errors
ignore all the text
those were the counters i had listed mostly
tq raoq verde is the biggest one i've been suggesting
there, sorry
easier to read
yea just get praline into the ss tier and it's good
and tbh
with praline in ss tier you can also put non-praline double snipes into a or s tier
for example summoner1722's favorite mst counter was hongyeon taru cov
summoner1722 truly was ahead of their time
i will include this in the MST counter list
i didn't come up with it people have been doing it for years
its just that swift shaina was always a threat
and at lower levels i'll just take my chances
and assume no one is running swift
hongyeon does have spd advantage though
one of my guildies went to praline mst and got outsped with a +210 praline on lead, i have no idea how that's possible
happened this siege
do we think bruisering is going to become a thing of the past here outside of giga premium stuff soon?
it feels like praline has kind of made all bruisering obsolete
i'm thinking of just telling my guild that we only farm giants for the next month with this event
it's definitely worse than before but not obsolete
this is a pattern that has come up before praline buff anyway
in the past it was possible to just bruiser everything, and the mindset was that any cleave was always more dangerous because it was easier to trap cleave
this is no longer true. there are definitely many defs where cleave is the safer option even when factoring in the possibility of getting trapped, or rune gapped
despite us always complaining that siege def keeps getting nerfed and is harder and harder, the truth is that there have been buffs to siege def mons that introduce way too much rng to prevent the possiblity of any sort of 100% safe bruiser counter
for example things like monte or cichlid, buffs to theo, etc
average siege offense win rate is still going up, for example it's "easy" now to hit 95% wr, but it's become impossible to hit 99-100%
I think the complaint about buffing siege offense is that they’re why those defenses are acceptable
Alright friends what's the solution to carc liu mei fuuki
Is it really just TWL
This actually feels so uncomfortable and I cannot get it to be consistent
The closest I have came is double string lulu (memes)
@jagged bone sorry for ping - I'm still trying to figure this one out and IIRC mythril ran this r4 tourney many seasons ago
if you wanted to bruiser it i think single string (yeonhwa) should be pretty good. up to you if you want to do double fire or double water with it, khmun racuni is the best support for yeonhwa but carc is a bit more dangerous than fuuki, vigor elucia is always a classic
or just cleave it
i'm sure if we see this it's going to be insta julie or lushened
I feel like it's just tough since you can get ripped through so quickly on racuni or khmun by carc. I'll try to test a bit more with yeonhwa vigor elucia
yea thats the point of yeonhwa though
vigor elucia would make you weak to fuuki, so just depends on what you're more scared of
Something you have to come to terms with it most modern defenses have a pick your poison aspect where you can’t really defend against everything
That makes sense.
Honestly fuuki is a slayer of God's unit I'm pretty sure
But so is carcano

Khmun racuni yh feels much better because. You can actually kill fuuki. But it feels worse because if it's yolo you can die any time super fast
I want to run this defense now lmao. It's so hard
I have a stupid question, if you run garo draco kahli vs seara orion perna. Are you killing seara first?
Yes right?
you don't run garo draco kahli vs seara orion perna
but i guess if you did then yes you have to kill seara first
one of the strengths of gdk is the immunity from draco which gives you protection against both seara and orion
i would only use it against other +1 variants like LDs or rakan
ahhh okay. i thought people ran it against perna also. thank you
people do but it's not great
i think we discussed this
if you want to run gdk vs seara orion perna you should use something like mara/jaara/raki instead of kahli
that part I remember
it's just for guildies, not for me :D
i recommend fran malaka triana generally, it's just for when we're at the bottom of the barrel
oops, i'm not sure why it says perna on 286
okay friends. how to beat sylvia zeratu loren. i lost and had to literally deploy the darkest of magic where ent told me the max speed of the loren after viewing the replay in order to beat it. Help
uhh there's no way i'm doing anything else but cleaving this
for example praline kabilla lushen
What Runes should i choose from that Check in Event as a completly newbie
not afraid of tanky zeratu?
it's always a question of what you're afraid of more
Bruisering this is pretty sure more scary
Way too much rng with Sylvia dragging Loren into whatever and Zeratu killing you in 1 proc
will, and keep all the runes
@jagged bone i request the wisdom of the ancients. what is the counter to galleon clara yen? best i could come up with is garo draco kahli but i figure my guildies can lose racing. the other ones i was thinking of were khmun racuni malite/dagora.
you can do khmun racuni rina if you want to bruiser it
but you should really just always race and cleave it
garo draco or susano orion has huge spd advantage
can use sian instead of rina too for bruiser
oh yeah, that was another thing we ran
Is taru the lowest rune requirement of the jamire cleaves? One of our players is a cleave gamer and isn't using Jamire and I definitely want them to be able to utilize it
Her runes aren't awful per say but she's still working on them
I do want to have us start utilizing lushen more as well honestly, I'm gonna go back and read through the lushen section of beginner pvp and see if I can do some learning
I never really used lushen much but since starting playing summoner1722 I am major lushen/julie enthusiast
(i made a 3rd lushen last siege lmao)
it also helps that summoner1722 has like the second b est lushen in our guild? Help?
i'm still having our top scientists try to figure out how the fuck that happened
second question i had
i ended up getting hardcore khmun bastet odin spammed last siege
so i pulled out the galleon tiana zaiross. i am curious if there's any point of even trying to pursue the attack part of the passive vs odin in this comp
i was considering atk atk atk zaiross but you could also just get fucked by a pure yolo odin i suppose
also, since odin awakens into resistance, is there an point in pursuing a sprinkle of accuracy? like 25% or so?
wait fuck maybe i can garo draco jaara this too
have you tried using both lushen julie in the same team
yes

is a fun preset
oh i already made it a preset
yep lmao
there's a bunch of new stuff now too
it has bolverk amelia windy, jeanne leo helena and i got claire
it's stacked as heck now
i forgot if i had it tuned correctly though
i think i remember having to like swap runes or something to get the order i wanted
is it supposed to be lushen then julie?
it depends on the def actually
ahhhh
that makes sense
lushen needs to go first to dismount sav
i decided i don't want to move any of the runes at all
everything is so well runed
i just leave it
if i want to use a monster i can because it's well runed]
there was a 22 speed violent slot 6 hp% rune
just chilling
i was like hmm maybe jx thinks this isn't f2p enough
oh because the last few months i barely played and just collected some events
i think that was an event rune and i just didn't use it yet
LOL there is some truth to that though like i purposely waited until after anni event to start the account
and i was going to do that for this new account too.. but i realized

i think com2us is just going to start stacking continuous beginner events
i hope so
every time is a good time to start
it's true
this event is so nice though
gave me a free jeanne
for jeanne leo helena
t-thanks com2us
yep
i got so much good stuff
i decided since we are going for the g2 finish and there were plenty of crystals i'd use them until ~13k left
and idk the rates were just not fair jx
lol
oh and for this question... i wouldn't do triple atk just for the passive, you'll probably get it most cases anyway just doing a regular cd build
i was wondering if it's feasible to get against odin at all
it's not worth specifically trying to get super high atk just for it, the only time it comes into play is if you want to ensure killing odin if you miss def break
that's fair
guys do i keep a third mephisto 
if you use 2, why not
because runes/grinds/reapps/lds are cool
maybe feed if you have a rune/grind from shop you want to get
but wouldnt you rather keep something you use?
the runes/grinds arent really going anywhere
well i think they're probably not using 2 mephs every siege
meph is nice but not like a camilla level dupe
Do we think Megan is a better booster than praline for Odin booster X?
should be comparable if not better
with odin you're most likely using his lead... and then you'd probably end up with a ton of wasted efficiency in CR if you're using praline as well
I feels wasteful to use praline, that was my impression
Runing like that is extremely weird
yea thats what i mean
i guess can do cov odin praline
and use atk lead instead of odin lead
megan's boost isn't as big as bastet
Feels wasteful to not take advantage of his outstanding lead
I have a Megan already collecting dust so 
Give it a shot, ty
How to abuse kinki on offense? Have a few guildies with kinki. I know he is very strong but I am unsure where or how to use him
Treat him like a tank
Who also does damage
yea he's very similar to windy
a lot of times he's almost interchangeable
for example if you were using windy to tank some fire, you can use kinki to tank the same fire if you bring 2 water with him
but then you can tank any element threat not just water if you bring the appropriate +2
he can also be used as a generic bruiser along with windy/camilla/tractor/etc those types of mons
if you run into a def with lots of aoe strip/aoe def break/randomness
Ahh okay. Do people run res on offense when he is used this way? Or speed at all?
i like him on res and 239 tick
@jagged bone I'm struggling super hard with the modern LD defenses. I'm the offense person for CV and when we get a map filled with, for example, Sylvia Cichlid Tesa I struggle hard. How do I start approaching these? I spent a lot of time thinking and the only counter I can think of that is consistent unscouted would probably be Hyanes Dark Hom Verad? I wrote some ideas and why they don't work
don't worry i still lose all the time to sylvia cichlid tesa too
Hmmm
it's a super good def and nothing is very safe against it
just throw jeanne leo helena or bolv into it, they're good enough
Alright. I'll keep pondering in the meanwhile. We also struggled with mihyang Lora tesa.
another pretty good generic approach to spd lead stripper tesa is the tetra yeonhwa +1
cami would definitely work
but i think others would too, like against this specifically you have a wind tank for enem ytesa and he's the only def break
The problem I'm having is tesa disables chilling sonia outspeed
so you can use your own tesa or other non wind bruisers
Since you know. Very hard to win after. Maybe mihyang Adriana Sonia can but it just feels so messy vs these
Hmmm ok. We will try this out. Thank you.
I'm fine with scouting hits with 93~% stuff and taking notes
also tbh against lora you can just probably just tiana or lushen it if you have will
I think I'm getting to the point where notes are needed
no one is running swift lora and if they do she cant do anything if she outspeeds
i guess your danger is running into cracked +200 spd despair/vio loras
Yeah that's true
that can even outspeed your swift
@jagged bone
