Currently I have my rica runed like this for TOA and even though the quality of this is sub par, she still devours with her cc, what other uses are there for her other than toa? what's a smarter build for her? (I know she could probably use a lot more speed)

You follow all the mons in #guides

#

It's pointless to build Rica until you're done with PvE

#

Also tbf, your rune sucks

#

Rica won't help you do shjt

rica is fine if you already max skilled her up for some reason before, but she'd just take in place of mellia for anti crit stages mostly likely. she has no use for any other part of pvp/pve as far as i know

i know

#

my point was if you built her and skilled her in the past you can use her in place of mellia for anti crit stages

#

if youre just starting to building her she is not worth

#

the only pve that rica is used for is toa

#

she can be used in some pvp stuff too later on

#

if you've already completed toah, then there's no use in worrying about her build and trying to make her better

#

because she won't be used anywhere else for a long time

#

if you haven't completed toah yet, then you can rune her according to guidelines in ?toa for any other support (such as mellia, as rica directly replaces mellia)

#

overall, the whole rica debate is a bit blown out of proportion. honestly these days with how much easier it is to 6* stuff, you can invest in rica early on just for toa if you want

#

but the main thing beginners are not understanding is how trivial ToA is in the overall picture. toah is not a major milestone in this game. it is a very very small part of pve.

#

you shouldn't be investing your best runes or time or energy on monsters that are only good for toa. and if having rica makes a huge difference for you in terms of being able to complete toah or not, then that's a sign you're not understanding the basics of how to rune monsters in this game

#

and that's a much bigger problem with overall progression here

I appreciate the advice, I have already completed toan/toah before, with the monster in the guide, this was just in place of mellia, I also used a Tyron Gina Jamire and Fran for a faster dot team basically.

This was a good point, it definitely is a trivial milestone but the amount of prizes you get here is pretty good. I can for sure see the frustration with putting out so many guides and steps for beginners and then they do things that are stunting their progression, but yeah I did wanna preface that I had already completed toah with the beginner guides and just wanted something a bit more quicker

you are actively getting less prizes in this game than you could be

#

you are actively completing the game slower than you could be

Ooof

I fell for temptation I fear

we don't really care, we're not going to police what's fun for you

just don't waste our time though, if you ask our help our advice will always be to follow #guides

I got you

#

the only thing that's frustrating is people who ask for help, but refuse the help that is given to them

tbf, if you are answered with sth you don't think will work for you, either you ask a bit further, or just lightly replied with "I'll keep that in mind" and go on with whatever you want to do
