saw any real action
90% of it was just testing and me deciding it sucked and wasn't good enough
Yeah that feature is pretty helpful, Yak's guild is full of good players
i don't know anyone good who actively plays more than 1 account
there's just no time
there is way too much to do in this game now
if you want to actually get anywhere
For toa hell should I go for 239 tick vio or 286 tick swift?
I can afford 2 286 vio set for spectra and tyron but not sure for others
286 tick vio
I can't manage that on other teammates
I have to choose between more tick and vio
still not enough with tyron lead
For toa hell vio is nice but not really compulsory
On low base spd mons like Homie, I can only manage up to +140, which is around 270 cmb spd
So yeah I think I'll go for 286 spd swift
Do I need to be this fast in Bolv teams?
Nah
Ur string could be like no spd
no
239 vio is enough on buffer right?
yes the bolv team is just all siege
what do you mean
The free 2 rune event that let you get 18 spd rune I mean
It's ending soon but I still don't get a quailified rune
2 days left to farm emblems… get into giants with a vengeance
took me quite sometimes but I finally managed to build the team
mihyang is about 10 spd slower than to be tuned but it's because I lack grind, sleeping in r5 and pray for an intagible grind for that
sometimes its ok for your 2nd DD to not be tuned, if your 1st snipe kills the potential swift unit
so my mihyang is fine?
or can I drop some spd?
nah I'm to greedy here, I just hope she's fine
ok tks
I think I should drop spd lushen
that beth take some spd lushen rune and maybe he's not worth running anymore
you can swap around some sets
like this bethony set you can put directly on a spd lushen
and he'll deal 5k damage 💀
but I get it, spd lushen is only use like 20% of my arena cleaves, not gonna priority it much
btw, since my julie is tuned to bernard, can I run bernard miriam julie lushen?
julie is good for ao yes
I'm a bit fear that nem monster will kill me
Fam's help thread
forgot to reply but typically you overtune these kinds of double dd spd aos, and julie's multihits has a bit of anti nem protection
only abellio is really scary but traditional nem monsters aren't
why is that the case?
I've several trouble against Ariel nem iirc
nem isn't all or nothing right, you gain atb for every 7% hp lost
if a single hit does 22% against a monster with a nem set, that monster will gain 12% atb. but if that hit is split into 2 hits that do 11% each, then the monster gains 8% atb
so julie's 6 hits dampen nem effect quite a bit compared to a single big hit that does the same damage
also i dunno about this specific bernard miriam julie lushen team
but if you do a more classic bernard bastet julie lushen
you can easily overtune and get your mons more spd than needed
also you don't even have to use lushen with julie
these days i think the more meta julie team would be something like shimi julie
so you can get in a spd lead and race with kabilla/eshir
I get the idea
thanks, gotta take shimi out from storage
is psama a better shimi?
uh, nah I guess not, they're 2 different unit plus psama need def break for big dmg
shimi does more dmg than psama, and with julie you already have julie being water
its a different team
you wouldn't use shimi julie against enemy psama
I'll just try to fast lushen these shjt
or skip
in case I need to race spd can kabilla reliably replace bernad?
kabilla lets you race higher speed defs but you lose dmg because no spd buff
for shimi that is
I think of this specific team mainly because my Julie is tuned to bernard
Will keep that in mind
Recently I noticed I'm able to clear more and more defs in conqueror ranks
now it's usually 3-4 def per list, which is insanely good tbh
I start to think about building Gin properly
he seems rather mediocre for now
@marble lance this is even better than I expected
I see this def, pause for a moment and think "my lushen can hit 14k, he'll kill that Abellio"
And he did, Byung also reduced to like 30% hp and get finished by gin
you can't hope to kill good abellio without any dmg up support for lushen, it only works because they seems to have not a good runes
I'm at C2 (monday so don't mean shit) so I'll risk
still a good way to learn what I can do
it's definitely good to try but i'm pretty sure i've said countless times that abellio is not lushenable
there are of course exceptions, for example if the def is bad and abellio is the only thing that will survive lushen (think things like psama triton sav abellio) then it doesn't matter
or you can risk it if you're doing a full atk 1 shot setup (like the alicia miriam/mirinae full fight in beginner pvp)
but in this case byung juno have very high chance of surviving
siiiiuuu
@marble lance bye bye kabilla, adriana is my favorite booster now
time to build gemini adriana miriam leah offense
this is enough on her right?
what do you mean enough
usable with 0 skillups, but only when its maxed then its "enough"
stop trying to rationalize you having 3 random skillups on hand
can you elaborate in simpler english I'm a bit confused
she doesnt need skillups
maxed skill up is what u need for it to be considered enough
i am saying even if she had no skillups you should still be using her
ah yes ofc, I just happen to have some spare blade dancers
if it needed I can even devil her, but luckily don't have to yet
do not devil her
yeah
so for now I have 2 favorite booster
the best is adriana to run this team and cleave most offense
and next is bernard to use in galleon julie cleave
in siege I would swap the fastest set to bernard, this is for wgb
in situation when I need to use lushen for fastest ao possible I'll just switch set to kabilla, can't think of much situation where I should run lushen instead of leah either
Abellio is meta in AD but does the same case apply to siege defense?
I fear he'll be the Amduat situation because no def break
abellio is not good for siege def
yeah I just summoned him recently on my alt, he seems really meta for ad
gotta use leftover runes
how about siege offense
he seems like a strong failsaver
Triana hwadam seems better at that
btw smol question, is the elite stage in these event dungeon provide anything better than normal one?
Before it was the upgrades you get were better quality
nope
alr, I'll do elite ones then since it's just take a bit longer
basically tell me who should I give 3 of my swift set to
at least I can use a same rune set between leah/bethony
the process isn't wrong right?
turn out it isn't that simple
@marble lance the ao is working good so far
the first 3 mons actually use some of the fastest swift runes I have, I also runed adriana 3 spd slower than possible so I can use the acc% swift rune on gemini
I also realize an advantage of tuning by spd buff
leah rune is taken from bethony, however in 4 man ao she need 14 less spd to be tuned and I replace a rune for that
maybe I can use a different swift dd set on leah and she would still do great
it's also super convinient to have adriana atk lead when no spd contest, this is perfect
@half marten can you kindly have a look at how I build my team?
seems like jx went out for milk
i would love to help you, sadly i do not even know what one of these units do because i didnt play the game, just came back some days ago
i never used a team like that and generally i feel like your game knowledge atm might just be better than mine because i came back after 1 year of not playing lol
alr tysm
so far as I experience, this team do hit a lot of things
I don't even have to mind byung and camilla (actually yes if they go together but that's rare)
So far I feel some counter to my team are: Amduat and Moore as they cut in b4 Leah, Juno or anything that affect spd buff, 33 lead into fast stripper because it fuck my adriana+19 lead, and rng sometimes make me miss strip and def break on abellio, preventing me from cleaningup byung/cami
other than that I'm demolishing shit, and even if I don't adriana teams are fucking op to clean shit up
I'm still a bit stuck in end c2 tho
Yeah I'll try swop then
Yeah
Well it's more common for one to don't have a nat5 than have one
Even the ld4 are far from my reach
yea it looks correctly tuned
you can always check for yourself by setting the offense as a defense and hitting yourself
if possible you can add some damage to gemini
gemini only removes 1 buff so you can get in trouble vs shields. if you have dmg on him he can actually break shield and then there's only 1 buff left to strip. dmg gets applied before strip
after that the improvements will just come from better monster options, skillups, and runes
leah teams will have trouble against good cami/byung/juno
abellio should be ok because even if abellio doesn't die you're still 1 shotting most of everything else
leah can still hit a lot of 33 lead + fast stripper other than triton but you just dont have the monsters and runes
what about amduat, can I hit him reliably
yeah the main culprit is zen, starting c3 I don't see clara often but if she+33 lead outspd me once
no
well you have speed disadvantage with gemini and your adriana is really slow
you can't hit zen with that team but ultimately there are leah teams that can safely hit zen
it's rune problem then
i said its both rune and monster
my account isn't too much more advanced than yours and i can hit 33 zen pretty reliably with chiwu adri
I still hit zen tho, but I noticed most of the time I get outspd it's him
regarding energy management, is it bad if I feel like sleep in r5 nonstop
like I have around 20 vio runes that isn't spd grinded on my monsters
in terms of energy management
99% of players actually farm too much giants/dragons/necro
I think I should find a balance
2 months ago I start sleeping in r5 with the aim of grinding every single runes I'm using
But now I still don't have enough grind, most vio grinds come from the claw crafting
this is a goal even from beginner guides
most people don't do it so yea, you'll have a lot to catch up on
my runes is pretty much farmed by doing daily 10 😦
ok this isn't #rant-brag
still I feel better than hitting one c1 def per hit with lushen now
How fast should they be to be considered ok?
201 from runes is only average of 26 speed for non-slot2 runes. So that’s not even a max triple before grind. There’s no set number but that’s a very slow top set if you are trying to compete at the high end of things. You don’t have any random quad speeds or at least max triples?
yeah I guess so, this is the best I can get on any runes
fastest rune is just 25+4
Getting grinds to +5 on all your topset runes will help some, but really you want at least base 21-22 floor for every slot. If you have a base 25 and still total +201, you are missing grinds or using some very low bases
in pvp its always dependent on your level
when you cleave things or try to outspeed defs, you always need to be mentally calculating (or just remembering from experience) what of speed advantage of disadvantage you have
for example gemini adriana into clara. what's your speed advantage there? what about into 24 zen? 33 zen?
then if you get outsped not infrequently, on equal speed
it means you're slow
yeah I guess I'm at a okayish level now
frequently or infrequently is also tough to define
because the goal of offense is to win like 95% of the time
ofc I lose when I fight zen +24 lead, that's 1 spd advantages
yea so you're slow
it means you need to be more careful about what you can hit into
disadvantages
mb, 111+19<105+24
its close
pvp guide said I should never compete on equal ground
yes
so it's because it's a bad decision to race with zen already, not just because I'm not at my level
it's a bad idea to race like that but at the same time your swift speed is currently a big weakness for you and an easy target for improvement
I know my runes are bad for like p rank, maybe if I can get around +220 you'll consider it ok?
max triple is even rarer than quads, thats not realistic
realistically what you can expect from a beginner top swift set
is something like maybe 2 swifts that are 22 + 5, 1 swift that is 21 + 5, broken 23 + 5, then a lucky quad on your account 26 + 5
this brings you to around +208
yeah I'll keep the +210 number in mind
if you don't have 21-22 base swifts then you haven't farmed enough giants
if you don't have any quads or other high speed runes in general not swift, you haven't farmed enough overall. or like i've seen with some other beginners you've saved up all your reapps for no reason or maybe wasted them
if not everything is +5 grinded you haven't farmed enough raids
in short, I haven't farmed enough 🙂
literally sleeping in raids for a month and get like 10 vio spd grind
fuck rng
its not rng
it's actually is, I'm happy with even +3 rare grind for now
well I consider myself a somewhat diligent player
how many wings do you do each week
obviously you're more diligent than the average player
can't really tho, due to work most sunday evening I'm occupied
and you wonder why i'm telling you to stop playing an alt
nah bro, at sunday evening I can't even play
not being able to rush is a huge disadvantage but it's not insurmountable
but it's more likely a personal problem so let's not discuss that
if you say "i can't rush" i'm not actually going to tell you haha if you can't rush then you suck
you still do your best to get as high as you can latest you can play on sunday
and work on your def to try to stay in top 10k
yep, gotta try every time there's an isa, just luck problem
isa is just 1 example
my point is theres so many things you can do to keep improving and learning on one account
that you're not doing
both in terms of knowledge
and in terms of actual account progression
there's a lot more than just hitting repeat battle 30x
isa is just 1 example
using regular arena wings helps you learn and gives you scrolls
playing rta helps you learn and gives you scrolls
playing in a higher level of siege helps you learn and gives you a ton of rewards not just scrolls
i know you have the time, you just choose to spend it on other things like helping people
which is perfectly fine
but you cannot complain about being unlucky or try to use that as an excuse
now that is pure bullshit
I'll keep that in mind
guess you walked right in my stomach
and while that's quite uncomfortable, I have to say yeah you're right
just be honest with yourself, i will always be the first one to support whatever you enjoy doing and try to come up with solutions given your situation and how you want to play
by learning I can do so with actually playing the game, siege is running rn
i do not like it if you are not honest and just make up dumb excuses like "i don't have time" or "i have bad rng"
sorry for that then
yes, actually learning to improve in sw isn't my top priority
and I prefer to have 2 sw apps running on my laptop when I'm comfortable on my desk
so when we have conversations like and i'm saying you're slow
what you could say is
should i just put all my energy into giants and khaledrun and reapp only swift? or should i still try to do a mix, because since i can't rush sunday night i need to prioritize my def a bit more and get better vio runes?
should i be sitting in r5 until literally all my top speed runes are +5 or is that a bit too much?
i'm never going to blame you for your preferences and situation
but you can't say shit like well i'm slow because i'm unlucky and don't have time
how should I optimize my resources, including time
I was impatient and it's my fault, really sorry
my answer would be - yes you do need to farm more r5 than most people normally think, your top set should always have maxed +5 leg spd grinds
and as far as rune farming goes
definitely prioritize giants, dont do any dragons or necro
really don't know why I couldn't say those shit
get vio with event runes
but it's now
your top swift not just helps your offense
but it also helps your defense
a fast swift monster on defense will get you wins
Is fam a beginner account tho? Not expecting a 220 set right away or anything, but 201 top set seems slow for someone who wants to be in punisher or higher. Which it sounds like you agree with
probably not, I don't miss a single days in 200 days
but I don't farm the same amount of time everyday
sometimes I spend hundreds of crystals daily
sometimes I just complete daily quest and quit
I expect myself to at least be stronger than the account in #1048719420870107227 , as their fastest swift is 10 slower than me
I can't get will and destroy runes that way, so I think it's lumel
Since that's the case I actually consider baleygr spd r5 teams to be ok, will try to learn one
thanks again for helping me grow both as a player and a person
maybe it's time I drop the spd lushen
I don't use it anymore, his only place in sfah feel no longer worth it
this is why i didn't want to add spd lushen teams to ?ao guide
you're right it's just not too useful right now
however in siege it's a bit more useful
there are lots of good cleaves with spd lushen, for example julie bastet lushen, praline kabilla lushen, jamire homie lushen
instead of playing julie bastet lushen I'll just build dupe galleon julie bernard
it's a completely different team
julie bastet lushen is great for something like nana sav rakan
oh I see
well I guess I can keep him
but of course it's always still going to end up being a matter of priority
maybe you have things more important still
hmm so it make sense to remove him
I'm fine with eirgar raoq kro ling ling loren for sfah
I just reread Beginner's PvP and really want to talk about this part: #1048719420870107227 message
[Message Link](#1048719420870107227 message) to #1048719420870107227
Siege offenses - bruisering continued - bruisers
Bruisers: these are built tanky to be able to take damage from a real damage threat, but aren't full tanks that you'd expect to survive forever without significant support. They're also able to output some damage themselves, which in a lot of cases may be all the damage you need on a team especially if you have destroy. Most often bruisers are HP scaling monsters (but not always - sometimes they have passives that increase their tankiness, such as Tesa). The HP scaling skills are what allows them to be built tanky but still output some damage. As an example, I'd expect a bruiser like Skogul to be able to safely tank an enemy Perna - but only if nothing else could def break that monster. Expecting to continuously tank a Perna while def broken is something I'd save for a monster with a dedicated tank role.
Bruisers are usually runed Spd/HP/HP or even HP/HP/HP (or def, if it's a def scaling monster like Tractor). If it's an atk scaling monster like Tesa, you'd see a build like Spd/CD/HP. Again Vio/Destroy is ideal for most of these, but broken sets are always ok when you're first starting out.
Example bruiser - my Vigor: https://imgur.com/a/SXPHDfV
Bruisers are usually runed Spd/HP/HP or even HP/HP/HP (or def, if it's a def scaling monster like Tractor). If it's an atk scaling monster like Tesa, you'd see a build like Spd/CD/HP.
Yet we see Khmun, Eshir who should be built on crit, and tbh I'm still not sure with Tractor and Roid
what does split scaling have to do with Vigor not benefit from crit build?
You have to invest in more stats in order to do damage if the mon has split scaling. Pure hp scaling lets you prioritize hp, spd, def, and cr to do damage while staying tanky. If you add attack scaling, you need to invest stats in attack and cr (and some cd potentially) to up the damage, so that takes stats away from speed or bulk
I see, tysm
I decide I'll keep julie gbah
I rune her on 205 tick atk/crit dmg/atk for giants and maybe make a second julie for siege
or even easier I'll replace the slot 2 atk with slot 2 spd and make sure she's tuned to bernard
my current julie is too weak
I can't hit this def
haegang isn't included in ?ad yet I'm having trouble with him
he's like an aoe amduat
Gemini does nothing here 
well he boost the enemy team 
replace caremlla with a booster
i dont know what you mean by haegang is an aoe amduat, amduat is already aoe
haegang boost is only 20%. you can easily work around it/outboost it
for example with tiana, its actually fairly common to overtune your DD (make the much faster than needed for standard tuning)
tiana boost is 30%, its still higher than haegang
for example i think i've showed my tiana dd before they are over +170
it lets me hit things like tian lang, and haegang in this situation too
I would tianagalleon this with psam as lead and pos for Atk bar reduction
this doesn't work at all
Why not? That’s what I’ve been using against similar comps with vanessa lead, does Haegang change the equation?
in normal circumstances you mean?
like gemini kabilla adriana leah?
i dont know what you mean by similar comps with vanessa lead
haegang and triana both present big potential problems
do you know what they do?
i mean against haegang
got it
Haegang passive is problem if they built on shield/will ur right
what?
"When enemies remove beneficial effects of allies, all harmful effects on the ally with removed beneficial effects will be removed and the Attack Bar will be increased by 20%. [Automatic Effect]"
If i strip with tiana
and they are built on will/shield, that counts as a beneficial effect
They will get atk bar increasement
Wait is that effect sum up?
no
@marble lance how should I swop optimizing deva for kyledbah?
you dont have to worry about ehp on her
alr thks
I'll try, have some decent rage runes for this
Hey 😄 I already have Vero, Verde, Spectra, Loren, Fran, Bella, Kro, Mav, Darion and Raoq 6 star. What should I 6 star next? Smth like Vigor, Icaru, Lulu? I read that Mellia and Shannon are not required to 6 star
#guides
and next time ask in your own thread
But the problem is that I keep asking people what I should 6 star and everyone says go check #guides there is nothing there... I even got muted for an hour trying to look at console 😓
Make a new thread and we will figure it out
Ok, sorry. Thank you
@marble lance the way arena works is interesting
I expected myself to drop straight to c1 after one night, but suprisingly I just drop to c3 due to lower than 1500 point
and I got hit 5 times in 10 hours
how weird, my def is basically clara+3 bullshit
and my clara is even +109 spd to begin with
midweek arena is not interesting
haha, it's interesting because it's the first time I experience it
goes against my expectations
should I intentionally lower my ranks so that I won't get ambushed during rush hours?
I need to stay around where I want to finish, do I?
Just use midweek as practice for your AOs
You’ll get hit slightly more Saturday/Sunday pre rush
btw, my helena is skilled to 3/7 and 6/6
should I spend devil to max her s1, it has stun
can I leah this?
ok I won't
how about this
id save your devils
no i was being serious in terms of trying it out
I actually craft the battle in mind
"can i hit this" is actually a pretty bad question to ask
because honestly you really should try it
that's what midweek arena is for
you will learn the game better
it's likely that I will be swepted by dark ponie passive
but yeah I'll come back and try
haha I lost
but yeah I'm sure I can't clear it now
adriana is my next devil target
really helpful for cleanup imo
a bit revision on my team
generic support build, main drawback is she's slow, have to improve overtime then
building this little buddy on spd/cr/acc and it's so damn useful with clearing shield buff
idk if this is worth, she actually do help with hitting byung, I haven't fail clearing any byung with her
but sometimes it trigger abellio passive
I guess it's still more beneficial
@marble lance just wanna confirm how should I rune leo helena jeanne offense
so I got Leo on double will shield
Helena maybe go vio destroy, hp/cd/hp
then maybe Jeanne go Vio Nem/Revenge/Shield, full tank build
do I get that right?
vio will on everyone then
except leo
by max res I'd take it as 59
yes
is it fine to build hp/cr/hp helena if I can't afford res?
some people don't do the res for helena
i like it
you shouldn't go cr though
it's a leo team you dont need speed
ok, I'll try
I still haven't gem things but here is what I get
more precisely what I'm aiming for
can I get them on arti then
+45 s2 accuracy arti, now I get 45
yea that looks better now just get 100 cr
a bit hard tbh
maybe I'll try drop some atk, but 100 cr is tough
the cr is more important than res
and definitely more important than a bit more atk
Since res is all or nothing can I run 15?
you can see how you like it
Ok
For arri I'm going -water on helena, -firr on leo
What should jeanne get on left
you leave them blank and swap specifically for each def you're facing
if you're too lazy poor or casual then figure out the most common def you use this on, use artis for that def, and just leave them there
I think it'll work on anything as long as I can keep leo passive
huh?
wait a bit, I'll try to hit one and see
it isn't a strong def since no immu, but I think it's a good case to use here
strategy is rather easy too
just leo hit, jeanne provoke+invincible on self, helena turn into human and AoE nuke
as long as savanah don't def break into perna, I'm fine
damn this is a weak opponent yet I still lost in 4
is it rune issue or could I have pick a better option?
I guess I misplayed t5
I let a def break slid in
Jlh is hard into immunity right
oh and dark mermaid too, yeah I wasn't smart with my pick
For 4/ in the first battle you could kill Theo with anti revive
lemme see if I have one
Something like fluff + Karl + something that can kill Juno easily
need better team
typically need some premium monsters to be safe vs theo
for example leo, or tractor windy camilla
oh so I struglled against good defs
it has no spd lead, can I safely cleave it
Isn’t that def weak against raki
typically need some premium monsters to be safe vs theo
i'm considering nat 5s to be premium
this def in particular is not great because there's no speed threat, so it's "weak" or "easy" to use raki (basically what furyn suggestesd with killing theo with anti revive
but this won't be the case for better defs with theo
3 is bad also
Adriana Bethony is weird to begin with but tanky twins easily beats this
I forget but we had a pretty elegant solution that was simple to the elad Theo shit
I remember doing mo raki but that feels like it just loses to nem theo
Isnt nr 1 also bad? Julie into feng doesnt seem good. Woosa can survive Julie and S3 for immunity . Then Feng can just solo
Yeah is bad
I don't know about this tanky twin teams, can you elaborate?
However I do believe Mihyang Adriana to be a ok choice for this, the match play out exactly how I want it to be
You are sniping with non boost bethony
So I could have double snipe with Praline Kahli Stella?
So either you’re not tuned on you run a very fast bethony
I run a +160 beth
I’d rather just praline bethony here
Drop speed for more dmg
Well I have other sniper to
Ok answer this question
What is the benefit of mihyang Adriana vs praline
When would you use one over the other
Yeah I'll use Praline Cov Kahli against this
My beth is built to be used in Mihyang Adriana/Eshir so I'll keep it as it is
I rather use bulldozer copper imesity here, cuz in t2 you can use f2p units
Which you havent used yet in your attacks
Like
The problem I have with copper dozer is a lot of ppl at low rank run swift woods
So you can get dmg checked
And die 1v3 to laika
Woosa
That oph theo riley is just Theo being the threat. Jx probably mentioned many comps in other threads, safe counter for me is praline songseol shren and just snipe theo there
Fair, ngl I havent seen this def in ages
I saw ppl in cv lose to this like that
Or just a +180 swift imme getting outsped by vio woosa
Or can I play with immunity since no stripper?
For feng team?
Yes
It depends
Feng and laika can kill without def break
They do a lot of dmg
Depends on what you take
Haha thinking bour Harmonia Nora Skogul
Harmonia is 1 turn immmu so I wouldn’t think of it like that
Lot of gaps
When you say immunity tank I think of a 3 turn unit like woosa vela Louise
No vela so I guess Dozer Coppr
Guess I'll have to build dark neostone
Can megan darkneo+1 that
@marble lance what should kyle's right arti be?
Add dmg by atk or any cd
got it, tysm
should I switch Nora to 286 swift build for dot offense?
she isn't on my main siege def and I think 286 swift still work for offense
tbh should I even run dot ao alongside my leah and lushen ao?
is your whole dot ao 286
i personally run 239 dot offense would rather be tankier and have res if ur gonna put more stats
its more annoying if u move first bc then haegang doesnt do as much
@marble lance what do you say
it's pretty much required as stated in ?dotao
they should all be the same tick and tuned
i guess this is the advice written, so then your answer is "yes make it 286"
alr tks, I will run 286
i did 239 at first but 286 is definitely much better
there's no way even with 286 that you move first against any real def
ive been using this ao a lot for months
I share runes with the siege off
same
Where it is more likely
but siege haegang team is different
you can do 239 there
for example i still have a bellenus for siege that i use with haegang sometimes
and i have it on 239
but cant use that for ao
for arena there's going to be lots of things that haegang will have trouble cutting in on
tritons, lora, tl, etc
you need the extra speed
and also arena plays out a lot more like a bruiser team rather than a 2nd turn cleave
in siege its understandable when you face stuff like clara tesa sav, 1 rica s3 and its pretty much over
this won't be the case when you're fighting ad camilla
t4 lost because of def break
that AoE def break+slow from occult girl is actively harmful, feel like I need immunity
harmonia?
fuck it why do I forget cleaves teams
actually hp lead is a bit scary
but could have copper dozer
t1 is a bit risky nora almost died, next time I'll bring full tank instead, maybe a tesa
t3 failed to oneshot racuni, managed to bring the fight down to 1v1 with odin then lost
it is not scary at all
HP: 10215 — DEF: 714
ATK: 747 — SPD: 102

From: Lightning Emperor
Increase the Critical Rate of ally monsters in the Guild Battles by 33%
people always overestimate the impact of lead skills
you mean the only one really matter is spd lead?
hp lead doesn't make a squishy monster tanky, and will never be the difference between a cleavable def vs non cleavable def
same thing for spd lead
the presence of a spd lead doens't mean it's a spd def that you need to race
for example if you see something like carc molly ritesh, it has a spd lead but there's no spd threat, you can cleave it with your 5th string swift set
this is a big problem
the first thing you do for any def is to ask "can i lushen this"
next thing you ask is "can i praline this"
????
what monster failed to 1 shot a racuni
what does your taru look like
Fast enough to be tuned with Adriana
Damn
Yes it's my fault
Gonna remember that next time
is it runed to be used with your praline?
congrats never in my life have i heard about a racuni surviving a single target ignore def nuker
why not just garo draco khali third one, and kill odin
actually this is a good point
Oh yeah
I need to play more siege
I'll test and play with my guild defs for more experiences
Good thing is, you don't see me lose 3 4 matches anymore
Just 1 match due to skill issues
@marble lance I've max skilled Helena, should Adriana be my next target
why did you do helena before adriana
because I've already skillup helena
then I got leah and start using adriana consistently
but nvm, adriana is definitely my current target
oh it sounded like you just recently decided to skill up helena nvm
I maxed Adriana s2 and s3, should I also max s1?
You can skip it for now and come back later
great, tysm
now to think about my next target
Leo is fine unskilled I guess
So I want to properly play Bolverk teams
Either Aaliyah or Amelia will be my target
which one should I go for
Aaliyah can work without skill up, u just spam s4 
traditionally people use amelia with bolv, although aaliyah is pretty much just as good
however if you have both, aaliyah is good in more other places such as with feng
so it is better to save amelia for bolv
both are sort of usable without skillups, amelia moreso because you can just leave her in human form forever
if your goal is to just make a bolv team i wouldn't skill up either of those for now
if you have a feng or something else to use with aaliyah, id consider doing aaliyah
what are something else to use with aaliyah, def based bruisers?
not what I have for now btw
yea feng is ideal, but i mean you can still use her as a generic op support
maybe I can start playing some rta?
for now I think my team will be around leo, so it's leo haegang helena
I tried to watch seanb video, it's pretty much the only thing I can come up with for now
maybe I'll save devils in the mean time
damn I feel so hesitate to start rta
this is your biggest problem overall
not just rta
but it's a super common problem
never try to do stuff you mean?
in other pvp games ive seen it called ladder anxiety
it's just a general fear of playing against other players
so you try to make any excuses possible to avoid it
the easiest excuse to make in summoners war is "i'm not ready, i want to build my teams perfectly before i start, i want to have the right monsters, i want to have things skilled up, blah blah blah"
I see, you saw me through again
it's not you in this case
i mean anyone asking "help me build a team for rta, i want to start playing rta"
is suffering from this problem
the correct answer and move for all of these people is to literally just hit find match
the game gives you support monsters to start with so you dont even have to rune anything. but of course you can just throw some random runes on your own monsters too
no one ever is ever truly ready or has things prepped perfectly
it's a constant learning and evolving process
and you will never evolve or learn from just theorycrafting on swop or having people answer your hna questions
you only do so from gaining real experience playing
if you play some and enjoy rta, now you have better questions to ask about deviling stuff
you can say - well i really like my leo for rta, now i think devil priority for him is higher even though he doesn't need it as much for siege
Idk yet tbh
like my main focus is still siege and I have sth that may want skillups, say dominic, aaliyah as general bruisers
or maybe dupe galleon, vigor that need skillups
I feel like I have a bad habit of never asking about nat5 when I pull them
I've updated my swarfarm, right now I have 3 choices for siege in mind: dominic, aaliyah and bellenus
can you link your swarfarm again
also hard to keep track because you have 2 accounts
how many devils do you have
i have you less than 10 there really is no point in wasting time thinking about it
haha ok then
When should I use grinds? Right when I get a rune I want to keep?
That's honestly up to you and what type of rune it is
There's a lot of conflicting opinions on this but realistically speaking you shouldn't be keeping a rune unless you plan on using it
But there are inevitably going to be a lot of violent runes you want to max purple (your best ones especially) or even fish for legend on
Same to an extent with swift but less so
I think if it isn't a super common set you kinda want to just use up your grinds, you are going to get so many more blade grinds than violent grinds in terms of needs
At the same time some people say grinding a rune and having it sit in your inventory is pointless and that will inevitably happen
My personal rule is if a rune that isn't super main set drops that I know I will keep/use then I instantly all in my grinds for max purple
If it's main set (vio really is the main one here swift to some extent) then I wait to find where I want to use it generally, unless I know 150% this rune is going to get used soon
I think it's different if we are talking about legend grinds too though
tysm, I get the idea
what does this part really mean?
I don't get it
or maybe my english is too bad to understand this?
does this mean PvE can just have some minimum rolls, while PvP need our rolls to be higher than average? So you'd want a blue crit rune to roll 18+ crit instead of just 12-17?
think probsz was going more for, pve runes can be not as efficient as long as they get you the stats you need
while pvp runes tend to want to be more efficient (less dead stats/quality rolls)
does that higher than average mean a 6+ crit roll like I presumed?
a more general term, also this was writen pre-ah release
no idea
I'm just going to give my opinion here. I think he's basically saying "you put a nem on your Ariel, but you lose out on so many stats from a well rolled Energy rune that he's actually weaker than he could be"
I think it's a small provision towards the "sets over stats" in PvP. As in it isn't worth losing 50k HP just to get Nem set on Ariel.
But that's just how I'm reading it. I could be way off. Just my 2 cents. 🙂
you're not way off in terms of that's what it meant, but at the same time fam has a good point
it's not a good guide
i don't agree with it and never did
it counts khali speed buff, put any other mon on same base instead of her
damn, can this also be used to tune adriana teams?
Just use swgt if you’re tuning with speed buff
You are using speed up artifacts for those, swop doesn't support them
pretty sure jx explained how spd up arti is kind of bad
Oh if you mean something like double snipe for siege then that's true
No idea if swop would work for tuning mihyang adriana sonia for example, since i started using swgt i haven't tried much with swop
swop cannot be used to tune adriana teams
there is a bug with kahli because of her spd buff
you should still use swop to tune praline teams
just replace kahli with some other monster that has same base spd
bernard is fine
Tks
you did mentioned before that lacking damage is a common reason for double snipe to fail
is there a safe number I'd aim for, like 45k without +elemental?
no
U mean I'm still supposed to tune them with my booster regarless how much damage I do
you always want as much damage as possible
How do I prioritize my fastet swift set
Should I let my siege def Orion get the fastet one and swap it to my offense booster when I need them?
yes
got it, thanks
@marble lance I can't find the bruiser AO options in #1048719420870107227
Do you mean in the ISA part like Khmun Imesity Copper Dozer part?
There are bruiser ao options in ?ao
I only see the Haegang one
Others are premium cleave options
you are right
Seems like jx forgot abt them
Certain bruise teams like Feng x2 Leo can even match some cleave
i didn't forget anything, they're not good
i talked about bruisering in isa. i also mention how it's valid if you want to auto swords during midweek or something
some people have good ads and aren't try harding in arena. i can end guardian without rushing, so can i make the claim that the best strategy for getting guardian in arena is to not rush?
@marble lance can you correct how I understand the jamire lhomie +1 team?
from what I see, we have swift lhomie get first turn and use s3, +1 nuke, jamire reset, lhomie s3 into +1 nuke again, then jamire help cleanup the rest
yak told me I can nuke 3 time by having jamire > nuke > lhomie instead, but is that viable?
both of you are dumb just look up a video
this video is correct
so we have jamire s1 > lhomie s3 > nuke > jamire s3 > lhomie s3 into s2 (idk why s2 here not first turn) > nuke
i mean im not referring to any 1 specific video, just telling you to go google a guide
this is a common standard team
read skills
and think through it
you can do it i believe in you
this way we have a non buffed nuke into buffed nuke
lmfao, ok I'll try
I got the idea, thank you
ok teacher
so the turn order is jamire > homie > julie
jamire and homie have to outspd the enemy, so we have jamire do random shit, homie fill atb and buff julie spd, now julie is the fastest monster on the battlefield and pew pew
then jamire s3 > homie s3 because we are 100 ATB and they just move first due to faster spd, but now homie spd buff herself and she is the fastest mons (faster than julie) then use s2 on julie, julie do stronger pew pew
very good
@dry totem you are just as dumb as me
why didn't the guy in the vid use s2 first?
don't poke something not on will you may trigger nem
what?
yeah rando poke sorry
yea i also meant he does good damage too
really important since your first nuke is without atk buff
its not very common to use aoe dd here like julie or lushesn
because of the threat of nem
much more common to use single target like taru or sonia
or if you're rich, ian is bis
if you use s2 then the enemy moves before you can reset and do it all again...
the whole point is that you get 1 non atk buffed jamire hit, then 1 non atk buffed DD hit, 1 atk buffed DD hit, then 1 final atk buffed jamire hit ALL before any enemy monster moves even once
I see
about targeting, are we hunting for non swift def?
I don't think we can outspd anything with 24 lead+101 lhomie base
then dont build this comp
you mean this comp is used to outspd
of course. all good defs have a speed threat
all cleaves have to be able to outspeed some swift threat
I'm not experienced enough to understand this
it's partially the reason why I can't write the cleave teams guide
so jamire and lhomie is on fastest swift
and we are trying to outspd some really slow comp maybe like a clara comp
yea the most common things you'll see this against are clara
or for example seara jeogun theo
it's also too risky to deal with zen+19
i dont know what is an example of zen + 19
if for some reason some guy run khmun+zen+1
yea but thats not good
another big thing you can use this on is tian lang
there's no atb boosts on this team
people dont really run TL without spd lead anymore at higher levels because its so easy to get around him these days
but you'll probably see a lot of TL with no spd lead at lower levels
can you tell me one real thing about all these swift booster things? I always think non-Dova Lushen, Tiana and Praline can't really race things and only be used on slower bruiser def, and they are fine to just be like 300 cmb SPD and be done with it?
while others cleave must be on fastest swift to race?
i just swap around fastest swift set
i dont have anything that's "fine to be like 300 cmb spd"
the only time its relevant to use slower swift set is in wgb
and in wgb you can almost always find something less spd threatening to use a slower swift set against
also beyond all of this
you're in a guild
a lot of the time you can get info from a guildie that hit the same def before you
both siege and wgb
you did mentioned a common reason for snipe to fail is lacking damage, is there any real way to solve that
beside just farm better rune and keep focus on crit rate and spd while scavenging for atk and crit dmg?
yeah, the best and only answer, but I get the idea
Now I remember Therion told me somewhere that I shouldn't have all snipers tuned into my fastest Praline, what is your opinion abt this
You have to provide context
When you are hitting a defense that realistically speaking doesn't have a significant speed threat, specifically if you aren't using covenant/Claire then using your fastest set is not necessarily best
When you're getting started in siege you should just focus on runing up snipe comps, which you are still in the process of. You shouldn't be constantly rune swapping. It's unrealistic for a new player to be able to tune every single snipe unit they have to their top set on swift while having enough damage
If you aren't pushing super high siege then you should just rune your units and not minmax everything. If you don't have enough good runes, go farm more
You can get jx opinion on it but I literally piloted summoner1722
Everything was runed
Swapping top swift set around is a good habit to get into but it shouldn't be necessary at the level you are playing at
I get it like this: if I'm in a low guild like mid g2 sub g3 one then I don't need fastest swift on slow booster and can just be like 300 cmb spd, while in high g3 even Teon should be able to race
Uh
I don't like this example
With teon you should probably just swap top set
He's slow as fuck and him having more speed does not reduce damage on the unit being boosted
So how abt Praline
You can do it however you want to
I opted to rune multiple snipes rather than rune swapping every time
That was also when mana was a really dry resource for players trying to push hard in siege without strong accounts
Mana also isn't needed to test anymore which is a blessing
Both ways are fine. If you are planning on switching DD sets too you're fine. Depends on how much mana you want to use. I would opt to not rune swap where you don't have to until you start pushing hard.
Idk how you can swapp snipes set, when every monster has different stat
People have different ways
You can set up a few sets. One of the sets should be fast enough to make it so your slowest unit you will use with praline will be tuned to praline and just accept that some of the snipe units you use will have slightly more speed than is necessary
That's probably the lowest effort option
summoner1722 is like over 2 years old by now
the game changes, there's been multiple buffs to mana, as well as QOL life changes to make swapping easier
not to mention the constant power creep as the game gets older
there's always going to be more and more OP accounts with op runes sitting in super low siege
swift sets on boosters is easy to swap around, dd sets you're right is much trickier
there are some monsters where you can do it if they have same awakenings, for example cov and claire both have cr awakening can be swapped. you can just overtune speed by a bit but otherwise they are same
kahli does not have cr awakening so you wouldn't swap a set between kahli and cov
in the end though you gotta just play and figure out what you're losing to and what you need
We still had a lot of less experienced players with mana problems in CV
I was absent for 4 months so not sure how much has changed but I know we had one player who farmed a lot and was always swapping and literally my guy was trying to farm mana before it was time for siege
Like I'm sure if I made a new account today I'd be able to do it fine but newer players make a lot of mistakes I feel
That's all that concerns me
swapping just your top swift set around should be fine, don't swap more than that
from a lot of these siege threads recently
people getting outsped seems to be a common loss reason
So swapping top swift set around and try to tune snipers to them
And I can consider using a same fast nuker set between similar stats nukers
Noted
I've been looking around for a template of Odin def
Comon template seems like Odin buffer spd/res lead bruiser
For buffer it seems like Adriana is bis, while Bastet and Riley is the same
Tesa and Khmun seems like 2 most common bruisers, also see Kinki mentioned
Kinki on defense sucks now
Odin Riley tesa still will catch griefers honestly
Clara/Carcano Adriana Odin is good if you have adriana
As for runing I think it's
Sth like Fatal/Will or Rage/Will on Odin, on tanky spd/cd/hp build as odin doesn't gain much from Vio
Then just have Shield somewhere, this allow Odin to start with 2 stack, get 3 stack from Adriana and kaboom someone
Is it correct?
Btw is Adriana team>Riley=Bastet?
how are you going to update beginner pvp if you haven't even read it closely to begin with
I'm not going to anymore, and if my memory serve me right I don't see specific Odin def guide there
We get a mention of Tesa Riley Odin and that's it
This is one of the first things mentioned in beginner pvp
When talking about building defenses
And no Riley does not = bastet in this format, Odin Riley tesa is infinitely better than bastet
Would reread through the building defenses section again
This is not Odin specific
And don't run Odin bastet tesa, that is a really bad defense
I'm sorry but I can't really find specific infos abt Odin
Yeah I meant to compare their specific teams Tesa Riley Odin vs Khmun Bastet Odin
English isn't your native language?
I had just said it's not Odin specific
It's OK, I will help you
All defenses should be built on violent with very little exception
For beginners
You really want to just rune everything violent especially
But really people just rune shit violent forever
Odin should be on violent. Building him on rage is really bad, or really anything off violent
Keep in mind with Odin Riley tesa, Odin doesn't get 5 stacks immediately, and that is OK
This defense has been quite thoroughly solved at this point but
That's not something that most people who play siege know how to deal with still
Or if they do
They only know like
Mephisto Shren Kona lol
well yeah, I'm Vietnamese
but I said this after rechecking, and sorry didn't know you talk abt runing
I really read beginner pvp even more than my actual university lectures
and we already know each other for a while, I'm still a decent helper and ofc I won't say shit like "vigor is runed on swift"

my concern is just pretty simple "odin doesn't have a real skill to cycle, he has a 8 turn cd passive, so maybe I can rune him non vio"
and I had to ask you to confirm
It's OK, there's a lot of information & I'm not talking down to you at all
That's ok
What do you mean he has an 8 turn CD passive?
I mean this
His revive? That isn't too relevant in regards to violent
Oh but he can ignore defense any time he has 5 stacks
You know this right?
And it scales regardless
Like he is still ignoring 45% of defense on 3 stacks no matter what
Absolutely
I just don't like how jx seems kinda harsh about this matter
or if he want to be harsh, reply to the trash message he meant to
He is very stern in the way he teaches
so I can locate where I fuck up
I understand
The part that talks about how important violent runes are
It can't be over emphasized
When I teach people about defense I repeat it multiple times
It has to be violent
Despair is okay too for some monsters, and again swift is an option for some too. But that isn't the way generally, you want to add that chance that a monster just takes 5 turns in a row and you win
I've had losses like this before
If that was runed off violent
I can never lose this way
ah this is basic def knowlege, I understood it thoroughly
Maybe you misunderstand Odin specifically here
Especially in the context of this defense
He doesn't get 5 stacks immediately
yeah, now I know why
i'm only harsh if you ask bad or lazy questions or confidently say wrong things
i call people out if they deserved to be called out, doesn't matter who they are
i think i'm pretty fair about this, because at the same time i give credit where it's due. i often compliment people when they ask good questions
there's this big part in siege def portion of beginner pvp that says you should only be using vio
it clearly says everything should be on vio, and then clearly mentions the exceptions
so when you propose something else, especially an extremely meta unit like odin to not be on vio, it makes me feel bad because it means you've either not read this
or you're just ignoring it and thinking you're special or it doesn't apply to you or i didn't consider any common exceptions and i myself wrote a lazy bad guide
there are ways for you to ask questions
in a way that doesn't make me feel bad
and to show that you have read and considere dthis
for example you could ask "i know the guide says everythink should be on vio, but it doesn't seem like odin benefits that much from vio?"
acknowledging that you've utilized your resources and done your research first will help a lot
when discussing these things with me
this is a bit more similar to "odin is special"
but you're right, I could have word it better
I'm sorry
your teaching mindset remind me of my dad, and I guess you're about my dad age
probably not just a teaching mindset but could be a generational difference between how we communicate online
i was always taught to think before i speak, and i treat chatting on discord not really the same as a 1 on 1 conversation that you may have with a friend in real time in real life
at least in a channel like this
i often double check things before i say anything, i'll edit my messages several times before pressing enter, i'll reread and edit them if i make mistakes
i don't say anything if i'm not confident in my answer
and i guess younger generations treat these online mediums a bit more casually just like if you were talking with a friend in real life
so maybe i just have different expectations
wouldn't you think it's better to be flexible?
like is a teacher a really good one if he can't be a decent father figure?
i'm not actually trying to be a father figure or teacher here
i like discussing the game with people who have a similar mindset as me
that is all
well to me you are, but maybe yeah we have different expectations
i'm not here to seek validation or approval from others, even if they are some sort of mentee figure
thanks for your help as usual
about runing clara adriana odin, I'll assume the optimal route is vio/will on odin then vio/shield on either clara and adriana?
this way turn odin can start nuking with 5 stack right from the start
@marble lance
yes
got it
- Leo
- Tiana Galleon
- Bolv
- Mihyang Adriana
- Dot Haegang
- Jamire Homie
- Leah
7 types of premium offenses to note so far
Oh I also stumbled upon a message from you about mihyang chimera cleave, so that we can snipe a target twice
I spectaculate that we nuke with chimera s2 first, then nuke the revived weaker version with mihyang and start 3v2 things, am I right?
@marble lance I want to ask about swift set
for siege def the swift booster/stripper will be runed on fastest swift and swap to booster if needed
but what about arena def one like triton?
what about it?
we can't swap between adriana and triton right?
should triton or adriana be on 2nd fastest swift?
i put my fastest swift on def for rush, i dont use it for offense
