for (2), vio will water twins + a tanky shaman is much safer
Order: Shaina -> Martina -> Triana
I think that works just as well as leah, I just made a mistake in runing
for some reason I always wonder what if some lunatic put a +230 Shaina there
will believe it when I see it 
part 2:
- standard
- got overconfident and sent it even though I knew it was risky. It wasnt just risky, it was impossible
- had the bolv and this def left, it works just fine
- I stupidly thought diana could just sub for helena. She couldnt. I managed to kill theo and dismount sav before diana died so I could still win it
- worked fine now that I put a faster set on kahli
Overall (especially second part) I have the issue of not having specific counters for these defs. and because its wgb I am forced to hit them, so I send stuff knowing its bad
this is emergency project
I know what to build next
Part of siege is having 1-2 of a bunch of random 3* that you have used exactly once
how do I tackle clara sav theo without angela shahat
Uh do you own cami I forgot

BORG
Uh
Without any real form of damage thru Leo you can kinda do whatever there. Cami windy is BiS but you can basically put any tanky shit in there and it works fine
IE you can do XF Leo
now I need to fuse a xf 
or 7 for that one niche tourney off that u needed to bruiser a weird 4* safely
Its the Olivia incident here

u can probably use a different leo off for the Theo def btw
you found out that Diana unfortunately doesn't have the same kill potential that Helena does, but at least you correctly identified to not bring Helena into Theo
I only know feng leo tetra, leo jeanne helena and leo shahat angela
oh wait feng leo tetra wouldve worked
right
it's better than Diana for sure
is there another leo comp that could work here
that I could build
cuz this def is pretty common down here
honestly a lot of my leo hits are leo feng x
where x is whatever I need to stay alive

Aaliyah is the most common
still lf aaliyah
cant really find replacement other than amelia but that would make bolv ded
Amelia isn't as good either unfortunately
a lot less active sustain
I also relatively frequently use taranys into sav but idk how much I would recommend that 
also if you use taranys you usually want more sustain elsewhere
honestly I think u could do a lot of random leo +2 stuff that works there

the only actual risk is getting trapped outright
was just thinking of how to somewhat control the situation
which seems hard with theo
always
yea cami helps a lot
she sponges sav as well
I wonder if u could use the new f2p 5* windy
I guess? idk
he felt p good when I tested him
is not being able to get defbroken more effective than statue of gargoyles?
into this
malite would get dbroken by a clara proc so I'd be careful with that
although honestly
I think it would work most of the time anyway 
so uhm leo + the gyomei guy +1 could be fine?
What speed was your kahli set here?
I think it was +177, it has always worked in siege so I didnt think too much about it
I changed to +200 for second hit
Makes sense you could get outraced there occasionally
yeah think its better to go faster so I dont get shocked by the occasional swift
Yup. Especially for wgb with this def list it’s pretty free to give Shaina second fastest swift set, or Shaina fastest and Orion second fastest, to try to catch people out
it wont happen again 
If somebody has a +230 Shaina you just take the lumps but otherwise should be good
Dont you have Angela?
nope
Or wind pure vanilla?
lemme double check
nope
well ent said could probably use kiki with leo somewhere
could this be a case?
Sure kiki Leo Racuni/tetra sounds fine
I would just build kiki very tanky 100 res with acc
You shouldn't need much damage at all really I think for this offense to work
ill try it next time
Try and let us know
Use kiki lead too, it's nice
I think you can kiki these defenses down btw
With no sustain
Speed scaling DDs
It should work
Clara makes it tougher though
ill see how it goes 
Why does Clara make it tough if we are passive warrioring?
Kiki don't do anything if stunned

Still does the first half of the passive, no?
And then you cycle around with an extra turn of debuffs the next round?
siege hits (with already received feedback on a few)
- bit risky with triana > real reviver I Felt, worked out just fine though
- 'just cleave it' said ent
- Kunite > tractor
- standard
- used the wrong mihyang, no will

- standard
- can now race this with 30%+101
- tesa is bad here. Identified byung as threat when it was really chandra (also tetra > rina)
- bolv target, everything on -water to be sure theo doesnt do something funny
- missed defbreak on betta and miles. didnt kill either of those 2. bernard was on topset > bruiser since I thought nothing would live and preferred being sure to outspeed miles
holy fuck why are the images squished
- iunu is an odd choice as a dd here... he's valuable mostly for his revive hit
the only time he's going to get hit is if cichlid s3's him, and if cichlid s3's him that resets him...
- as long as your orochi is on a super fast swift dd set then this is good
- i dont get this, why do you need will on mihyang
- step back and look at the big picture. this def has no def break
- really bad julie target
Prevents you from getting stunned or defense broken on her? There’s a world where you get unlucky
I lived in that world
I was tired and couldnt be asked to fix it
yeah should have seen that
is this because of betta? or why. thought the guarantee of shield sets would make this a good target.
- Standard
- didnt see why it wouldnt work
- bolv target
- Triana to survive initial snipe, nana to 'farm' stacks with laika. Did not at all work out the way I had planned it.
- offense as defense, just lushen with fast 'snipe' set on orochi
I realize 4 is bad, I figure triana is the right choice but need a different +2
- bit riskier with carc there,deployed lushen a bit too quickly. No problem at all tho
- stupid leah target. Gemini only strips one debuff. didnt get defbreak on khmun. leah killed everything anyway
- 2 spd scaling -> leo
- looked fine to me and worked out fine too
- standard
This scary imo if -wind they have 44 lead and high hp units
fair enough
they were pretty tanky
but orochi finished mo long and amelia cant solo
How does garo Draco work out vs Seara Orion
snipe seara and its always fine
I didnt see the vision either at first but its pretty safe
so far the only thing I can make work consistently on this def tbh
i know its an old outdated def but I had issues with it before using garo draco kass
If cleaving I personally lushen this 
We used to do the Fran Malala stuff
O ive heard of that
you cant race this with adv right with lushen
The team you lost into has cleave angles no booster
without dova
Riley is pretty useless
You need dova yes
Orochi new unit is close? But you want a lead that can solo perna
orochi still not enough for orion (106? I think) but yea perna fucks
best you can race is 24%+105
Raki in your box?
nope
miles can outspeed you. there's 2 tanky units here, you're supposed to julie squishy stuff. so good chance betta and miles lives, then betta revives carc and does s3, now no way to clean up and you lose
miles doesn't need to be on swift to outspeed you
he gets a lot of free speed from buffs
I thought it was only like 20? 25?
he can mess up your tuning and cut in even if you're tuned
ah
ah didnt account for that
also while swift miles is not going to happen
swift betta is not uncommon
so also possible for swift betta to outspeed, s3, and now miles is faster too
how do you bruiser this? first thought would be kunite +2 water but feel like miles can mess it up real bad
wind tank + 2 water? what's complicated
why wind tank over fire tank? is it just that carc + miles can hit hard enough to kill kunite?
and then say I go something like: tractor tetra malite, the dmg is split and I can sustain it whereas tractor tetra kunite could have kunite dying?
not having wind just makes it a bit more dangerous as then it's much easier for carc to hit your water units
refer to ai targeting guide in #1048719420870107227
Pssssst use Triana
Will also mention what I will do next time against the defense for these hits (they are that bad):
- would do the same, worst case scenario (I think) played out and still won
- dont lushen this, its easy to get trapped -> chacha +2 wind (triana + roid)
- dont leah nana -> would skip the def for now
- not sure if this is fine, felt very risky with rakan -> either same/skip
- my brain was just fried from the previous losses, 0 braincells used here
-> seara/dom tetra juno - Lunu was only available option at that time (I think), lost
-> either build logan/use hraes here - fine
- piloting issue, know how to pilot it now -> do the same
- fine
- would use dom over seara if it was avilable
taking my time (which I did for the last 4 hits) to prepare my hits and not try to rush them clearly had better results
yea sounds correct
take more time next siege and don't rush
if you are able to make this analysis and still end up going 5-5
you're just rushing
tbf a few of these were me saying this posthumously
But yea don’t sprint siege @simple pelican
Take ur time and ask for input
oh you told him that afterwards and he just repeated it here?
2/3/5/8
Were ones I commented on
Ken nana sav we used to do like tractor tetra windy
Ye
Wait how come we are Iunu into cichlid
I like crawler kunite tetra if it's unscouted 
You are in the same guild as ent
And you have me on speed dial
Utilize that
I don't mind offense checking
I did it before a few times and it was (not ideal) but fine
but I got punished this time
yeah no a lot of these are ent teaching me stuff, im putting it in here partially so I can come back to it when in doubt
- fine
- put destroy on laika and its fine
- horrible cook, racuni didnt provide as much healing as I had hoped, wind monkey didnt strip as much as I had hoped
- fine
- would have been fine if it was runed properly I guess, few procs and I was dead
my other idea for 5 was leo dom + support

3 wmk -> windy
Then replace carcano for an actual unit
4 Julie
5…
@simple pelican slow your Leo down
Why is it the fastest monster on ur team
I have no leo runes 

im not gonna lie I wanted to copy your off for this but
windy is in 1
I mean it’s really
You want to take quick kills
And you just spread ur damage and gave them extra time

5 seems like Rina food
sav defbreak into procs can kill my rina im pretty sure
give Rina some def, like +1100 then ur fine
after -20% wind arti sav hits like wet noodle
she got no spd so no dmg
Wait what
Like Feng Leo rina?
Sav isn't necessarily built with crate and there are several strips
That sounds bad
I think the general idea of what you were going for is good
I would say just run Feng Leo tetra
If you wanna run Leo for sav
Then for 2R you can run lulu or something instead of tetra
Why not?
because I had never done it before 
What makes Leo more effective than tetra here
disabling the sav
Most siege players have melted brain and have forgotten that lulu is still cracked just because he can't be used into modern defenses effectively
I'm talking about 2R
you mean lulu over tetra then 
Im not sure but I see a scenario where carc can get defbreak on lulu, proc to target it and miles kills off lulu
but then you have nana revive
How does lulu get def broken
Is it cdmg yolo Riley that derps into s1ing lulu
Just don't run vampire laika and he will get def broken
wait I might be misunderstanding carcs defbreak
Decreases the Defense of the enemy with the worst HP status for 1 turn at the start of each turn. [Automatic Effect]
Decrease DEF (1 round(s))
Plus you have actual immunity with this
Lulu does make miles stronger but it's irrelevant
cuz his dmg gets reduced anyway
Ye
Lulu may just plain be better to be honest with you
gonna keep that in mind
- lushen

- thought I could snipe craka and 3v2 it, forgot about chandra s2 on craka and lost
- went chiclid > mihy > danu, shouldve gone chiclid > danu > mihyang, also dont think triana is optimal here because of the danu multihits
- racing at a disadvantage of 1, took the (small) risk
- bit of confusion for piloting this, will explain below
- standard
- twl seemed very good here, worked perfect
- tiana cleave might have been better here, figured even if brita lived she would target kahli and leah can finish her off
- ...piloting, I fed kinki revenges with aoes from imesety and copper (should just not use those skills?)
- treated it like carc miles elad
for 5) I went dismount both -> nana -> kill beast riders
problem is that nana can defbreak jeanne, into beast riders (almost) nuking jeanne. think it can get really risky if this happens
problem I had here is I didnt want to use helena s2 when riders are dismounted, didnt want to revive them by accident
I gave you a team for mihyang cichlid danu didn't I
Yes don't use imesety s2 or copper S2 until everything is dead
yes It was uh tetra kunite crawler iirc,didnt find the time between sieges to build a crawler
also cant 2a it yet, the damage reduction looks pretty huge
What if you slow down and wait until Vio cichlid is scouted and Lushen
Scout for nem and other tanky trap things too
Nobody rune swaps on def in g1
hmm yea I can do that
ive been doing it for a few defenses this siege, but everything I checked looked to be on swift anyway lol
- lost to a combination of my garo being poorly runed and a million procs
2/3/4) standard - I think I just got runegapped, both chandra and zen lived and killed orochi.
orochi was only on like +140 swift dd set, shouldve gone spd slot 2 and couldve won then I think - Ent: where is your tetra
- scouted on vio and not tanky enough to live my lushen
- carc did 18k per hit on windy (so no defbreak) which made it feel very dangerous, should just improve my windy
- first time trying hg in siege, dont really like this comp that much, will build a louise for (I think) the safer version
- last 10 minutes of siege, seemed like it would just die even if it was all on will (it was and they did)
Chandra zen x are easy to lushen trap
Zen is also a haegang angle
if you have it over at that point
not optimal into shun tho

I would avoid doing this
Partly because zen using s2 immediately makes variants like this kill you
I don't think bananaman without a dbreak kills you tbh, but ur probably right that it isn't super great
just because you're using wind nezuko doesn't mean you can't still use mihyang
the biggest mistake people make with any of these julie or lushen comps is to underestimate the importance of the other 2 units beside the lushen/julie
it is really not expected at all that the julie or lushen wipes the board and 1 shots everything
with lushen teams, your lead MUST be super fast on swift and act as cleanup
that's why mihyang is so good even if she may be slightly slower than a ninja
you can rune her super fast and still do a ton of dmg
the only problem I have with it is the fact that my topset is already pretty slow, and I get outsped a lot even when racing +5 or higher sometimes
but the diff between mihy and orochi lead isnt that big ig
you'll lose far more fights by not having a follow up to lushen
than you will going -2 spd
Ill use mihyang next time then
the only reason you should be using orochi
is if you run out of mihyang, or if it's a wgb situation and you've used mihyang elsewhere
it is NEVER a first choice
same thing with gin dova/teon
got it
some ppl disagreed with me in the past but if you are down low on swift depth - i used to move my tiana set to mihyang and share those runes
why would anyone disagree with you on that, tiana and mihyang are exact same set
you should do that even if you aren't low on swift depth
Reset can screw you pretty hard
couldnt finish all my hits this time since it was G2 siege and we got crushed in the first half.
1+2) standard
3) Not sure how I feel about this, it worked but tetra did come very close to dying early on.
4) easy lushen
5) looked like a good target, celia only strips one buffs and I will have plenty, windy can tank carc for a long time so no threats of getting killed randomly since bolv can easily outsustain vigor dmg
6) Saw this off before, decided to test it out, I race at an advantage if we ignore elsharion, by adding jultan here we can pretty much ignore elsharion 
7) dumb lushen, thought the 3v1 against Nora would be very doable (not even sure about that now) but chandra ofc also lived which I should have known
easy lushen
zerath
orochi can easily clean it up no

thats what happened at least
What happens if they’re nemesis
Or just -wind
Zerath has high enough bases to survive Mirishen easily
10-0 today, only one question about this hit:
first time using bolv into this and it felt safe, but very tricky
-try to get geldnir down first and put the chip dmg into ophilia
-ophilia started cycling from threat state into invinc on geldnir, I started focussing theo with bolv so the invincibility would go on him and it worked out eventually, one thing though:
If theo is on vamp, do I lose due to never getting theo low enough for ophilia to put invinc on him? or can I get around that with different piloting, my thought would be to focus ophilia then, but with her constant shield it takes a long time to get her hp down enough for her to focus herself, if the chip dmg goes into theo (who is on rev) cant it lead to eventually theo killing something?
wait

this doesnt make sense
my point is: It actually got pretty close and im completely lost on the piloting on this
if theo is on vamp he will never kill anything...
yeah my rambling doesnt make any sense
you had the right idea just target one unit with bolv but attack something else with chip dmg so geld only heals those things
the offense is fine, nothing will ever be 100% against theo but this is good enough
okay yeah fair enough
I always see so many loss conditions with theo, valid or not
- I rely on gemini to not derp and lost the gamble
- snipe zeratu and fine
- sonia killed gapsoo just fine, cov failed to kill kumar. didnt put my best runes on cov so I have that to blame I think
- standard
- looked fine to me, almost lost due to inting in cleanup tho
- got suggested this, worked well
- standard
- Ive done this before, fine
- standard
- very suboptimal but didnt have anything else to hit, I think leo feng tetra is better here, but didnt have a third tetra to use
Overall I wanna be able to hit more defenses now, my losses lately have been because I feel like I have to do something suboptimal, because its my best option
some defenses I have in mind to work on hitting:
- Ashour nana byung
- Clara chilling emily unscouted
- Fiona eshir truffle unscouted
also Moore Tesa Sav but I already know the counter to build for that
Don't you have Hyanes you silly goose
Do you have wind robo
yea

You are forgiven

but yeah I tend to lushen a bit too much
yes
O_O
my guild is food other than the warlords 
Same it's me +29 warlords

- you're not pralining correctly
first if you're using sonia with praline, do you have her on a correct build?
i.e. she should be runed like a regular sniper, on slot 4 cd
yeah thats how I runed her
ideally you don't use sonia with praline
much better to go cov kahli/hraes sonia
you will get a lot more dmg out of sonia, and then you can more confidently snipe brita with sonia
Ill try that next time
if you do use that team, the correct order is to leave kumar for last
kill brita with sonia, gapsoo with cov
your atk buffer should always be tanking the remaining monster
I did already struggle with getting enough dmg on cov being tuned to praline
(I ran +190, not topset)
I can only imagine its even worse with kahli
kahli isn't a sniper when you're using her as a booster
and you dont need cov to be completely tuned
sonia is the only one tuned and you remove the swift threat with her
ah okay, kahli can also be like on +190ish cr4/atk6?
if you use hraes then hraes s3 is also providing some fluff damage
also just going back to the original reason you lost
which was cov failing to kill kumar
gapsoo is a bit squishier than kumar, and also slightly less likely to be on -water compared to kumar
I just realized I have odin too
I can do 1) cov praline odin
2) cov kahli/hraes sonia
and hit it twice

Elemental Advantage
as long as I snipe gapsoo wth cov first I can safely snipe kumar wih odin right
but brita could win that maybe
yea again you cannot have your atk buffer be the one that has elemental advantage against the remaining monster
if you want to use cov odin, you should use bastet or megan as buffer
or colleen
oh yeah right I forgot about that
@delicate spruce If I would snipe the Ashour version with cov kahli sonia
sonia -> brita?
cov -> ashour is fine?
or can gapsoo solo that
your atk buffer should always be tanking the remaining monster
oh sorry i misread your team
but i still think thats the route i would go
i dont think there's a huge difference either way you do it
Ill snipe brita actually since theres no way I can tune cov
yea if brita is potentially the fastest then you do have to kill her first
wow it was swift brita and it outsped me
uh how fast is your kahli..
1-7) standard other than:
4) already discussed with Ent, very risky since Iunu can kill both lushen and mihyang after revive, also betta can easily live. Just dont lushen unscouted things anymore
8) already somewhat discussed here, +190 kahli is NOT fast enough
9) I didnt like this, the original offense I went off of is Chow cami racuni, thought elucia could slot in for cami here but you lose a lot of safety, elucia can die from chandra while cami does not have that problem.
10) scouted vio zen, went with this from #general-sw , ?general moment.
Never again
(even tho its bad even if I outspeed, it was either +191 vio or higher, or they swapped, I got outsped.)
for 9 run windy
And then sub Elucia for an auto cleanser (tetra)
You only have 2?!?!
I wish I had more

(but please make more, you need like 5 at least)
Nat 4s drop like candy
I dont have any 
You don’t even need to skill her
tetra avoids me I swear

but if I had more tetras, chow tetra windy is fine here 
one more thing about this, is this where I say: okay I got outsped so I go for (example: +200 kahli), or can I write this off as wtf happened here
[Message Link](#1232589438211850330 message) to #1232589438211850330
+190 praline with atk lead sounds good to me
i dunno maybe its a weird thing at lower levels where newbs think brita should be swift
i mean if possible you should always make kahli as fast as you can, on slot 4 cr
it's easy to tune sonia to topset swift and still have more than enough damage
cov can still be slow
yeah I can do +202 kahli on cr4 atk6
compared to +190
and the sonia tuning wont be that big of a deal
since she was already a bit overtuned
i guess what i mean by +190 praline is that your cov should be tuned to a hypothetical +190 praline
even if you use a topswift booster
oh like that, I misunderstood
tuning to +190 praline is still hard for me lol
I did that last siege and it resulted into cov not killing kumar
but we already discussed that
then maybe just wait a bit until you farm better runes or pull better monsters like claire
yeah was just trying to expand the amount of defenses I can hit by a bit
since the things I know how to hit are going very smoothly
do you have hyanes
yeah Im working on the off right now with wind robo
couldnt get it ready before this siege tho
the idea was to work on that +after that another leo offense
jeanne leo helena is sort of rotting since I dont find a good target for it usually
and this means leo barely gets used
and I need to abuse premium stuff
leo feels a little dead imo rn, its not just you
I still see plenty of sav on defense down here
but they all have something that fucks helena
chandra/moore usually
don't force it
it doens't feel dead to me but overall i really dislike the notion that any teams are free wins or that there are any teams you can use every single siege
Simi's siege thread
- standard bolv target
- seemed like a decent julie target
- was a bit scary, not sure if its rng or a bad target overall
- didnt want to doublesnipe with 2 damage reduction units, hyanes off isnt done yet, will retire this offense soon I think
- I just didnt do enough dmg, zaiross missed reset on byung and it was pretty much over
- tank tesarion to tank perna + chandra, went very quick as I got oblivion + defbreak from tesarion into chow nuking perna
- roid > windy here but I dont have a roid yet somehow
- standard
- good lushen target, clara cant win this 1v3 I think
- ran out of tetra so used lulu, was fine

- Good
- Standard Julie warning
- Uh don’t do this Nicki can cleave you (at least she could back in apoc)
- Not a huge fan of cleaving byung here if you get unlucky with defense breaks you’re dead
- Eh I guess
- Tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra tetra
7/8 standard - Sure
- Id be cautious here, if they’re tuned the right way they can just go for a water unit. Should be fine but this is better when the +1 doesn’t do damage
Something like byung hits lulu -> def break hat -> stunned hat is scary
whats the approach when there is a +1 that does dmg (like byung)
the kona mara thing?
uh
mara is dark amazon right
wait no im stupid
the whole point of that is to ignore eladriel
and he isnt there

then idk what to do here, it has BYUNG and completely random defbreaks
leo racuni shren 
idea is swift racuni to boost shren to kill carc u can tank miles/byung afterwards, loses to tank carc and i guess u would have to run a good shren set that lives byung s2 but kills carc
i just cooked it, no guarantee it is feasible 
test it before trying
i have no idea how feasible it is to kill with shren and not die in cleanup
I also saw a carc miles zen def
I think you can do uh
something with fire kass there?
also should assume I have already used my leo 
i cant really think of anything thats not either runegap or based on leo/ to not get sacked by miles
im sure theres more stuff to hit it with tho
in 3)
yea just helena as itself is a good water tank too
id have to rerune then I guess
Ophilia is another tank I have ig
ophelia is worse into miles tho
because of the strip?
how about triple rev lucia 
to just outheal their dmg
cant get stunned by miles either
Recovers your HP and Attack Bar by 20% each when you attack on your turn. Reduces the damage dealt by Water attribute by 50%. [Automatic Effect]
Heal (20%)
Increase ATB (20%)
oh yeah
but generally you want to get carc out of these defs as soon as possible
then it gets a lot easier
the f2p tank for miles is khmun btw
but its not as good as premium options ofc
ill give this another thought when I actually see one of these defs again

because this was a first
but even with dmg reduction from water
cant a defbreak on helena be very dangerous
ye
u would for sure want another support to protect her
but after carc is gone ur fine
im actually struggling with this defense even though it doesnt 'look' that hard
I cant cleave/snipe this I think, unless I take the risk of theo doing theo things
you can take the risk of theo doing theo things
I also already used sonia and thats my only real premium sniper
is this doable with 'poverty' options?
you can see conversation here #1232589438211850330 message
[Message Link](#1232589438211850330 message) to #1232589438211850330
there's lots of ways to make pralining a theo a bit safer. you can choose snipers that have a bit of extra survivability like kahli, odin, federica
👍 thanks

also you can just lushen or tiana with various other dds
I won the lushen hit but it was extremely close, after nuke I got to a 2v3 against dom + theo
mihyang missed strip on theo and got deleted by him
after that it was nezuko + lushen vs dom
if dom targets lushen there I lose
oh wow
don't forget mihyang has auto crit... she easily kills wind
her strip is extremely unreliable, never gamble it on theo
alright ill know that for next time
You also can go +wind left side artis on MY and it does even more damage because no one is building Dom on -water artis left side.
yea
last few sieges have been going good except for jeanne leo helena. Ive been losing with it a lot.
today was 9-1 with this being the only loss
I think helena into chandra is just always inting isnt it
I thought, this team has no immunity, jeanne can keep chandra in check
I missed provoke on jeanne and chandra like 3 times
and eventually helena died
Can’t you just… tetra malite +1 and press auto?
guess who ran out of tetra after 3 hits
I mean yeah that works 
but my question really is, how to stop inting with jeanne leo helena
I just dont think I understand the off
Fuck JLH
(I don't own Helena lol)
(Jayke had the same wtf where do I use jlh question recently)
yeah
I read that part of his thread a while ago
I didnt get any wiser really
ofc Ill always look to disable spd scaling dds with it
but I thougt it can also work well into no immunity defs, like this one
but then chandra comes in
Yeah jlh into chandra is bad because he can defend the units that you want to kill and then hit Helena. Plus he boosts atb with S3, so he can help his team to move. Jeanne has a cleanse plus a provoke which can kill helena's momentum. I think this particular defense was not quite the right place for it.
yea learned it the hard way 
I use that off into certain variations of ashour taranys +ld
but I can't realistically say it's that great there either
at its core jeanne leo helena is a leo team
you use leo into monsters with spd scaling skills (think things like ifrits, beast riders), or at least some super fast defs that you can't safely outspeed (think things like sylvia, lora, etc)
"defs with no immunity" is something that never even crosses my mind when thinking about what to use this on
i mean yea if the def has immunity you can't use this, but the majority of defs don't have immunity
yeah Its just been really hard finding defenses that I can use it on. Almost every single sav defense I see has moore/chandra lead, which is way too scary
question about this wgb def I want to hit (only mihyang is runed right now)
my first thought it to double snipe this, I thought a bit about bruisering it but couldnt really figure out the aoe defbreak + strip stun threat there is in this def
I also wanted to try feng vela mihael but moore strip into kiki can screw me over I think
about the doublesnipe:
I obviously snipe molly first, then kiki
do I go with mihyang on molly? or sonia
Im not very confident in mihyang
another skillup on s2 probably helps
mihyang is not a true sniper
you can use her to snipe squishies like carc or clara, but a lot of times in those cases even if you don't 1 shot the carc or clara it's still a safe 3v2 (i.e. no sustain on def)
there is no way in hell mihyang kills any of these 3 units
you can praline it though
praline cov sonia (on cd4)?
the advantage of the spd based double snipe is just so you can race easier
with praline lead then I guess
there is not a major swift threat on htis def so you don't need it (i guess you can consier swift moore but even then, meh)
yeah I considered it but I guess thats just a risk ill have to take
yes praline cov sonia is fine
if you want to bruiser it, you cant use feng vela mihael
not enough sustain/cleanse, especially passive cleanse since you will get cc'ed hard
best bruiser would be something like tesa tetra vero juno etc
took me over an hour to figure everything out but here are some wgb hits:
- honestly took so long to realize hyanes is my best option, I didnt like the idea of wind robo here so I tried to cook with poseidon, it worked fine but felt a bit weird, maybe wind robo still better here
- we talked about this, was still very close due to not runing my cov fast enough, both kiki and moore cut
- I think this is fine
- wanted to use leo here too but its on 3R so. bolv seemed like best option
- dom can kill through immunity, juno + tetra can tank for a while
- is this a case of needing to find the best +1 if you don't have verad?
yes
@chilly bough do you have any ideas? you've probably thought much harder about this than i have
i don't like poseidon here, he doesn't have any hard cc
- so you went praline > sonia > got cut? how fast is your praline and cov?
- this is a bit scary using juno to tank manon. most of the time should be fine, but if you run into dmg manon and get a bit unlucky with byung and manon procs, can easily lose juno
im not sure about the exact numbers since I loaded my default runes again. praline was around +195 with sonia tuned at +160ish
cov at +155
thats too slow, +155 cov is tuned to only like +170ish praline
yeah I knew it wasnt tuned (which should be fine) but didnt realize how slow it really was
i think the issue a lot of you are having is that you're having trouble identifying what monsters are potentially fast or swift units
versus what monsters are not
you can't just look at if there's a speed lead or not
there can be cases where the def has a spd lead but no swift threat
and there can be cases where the def has hp lead but a swift threat
(not that that's what's going on here - i'm just saying in general
because here moore is a spd lead and a swift threat)
if there is something that's can be fast you do need to be fast and have your stuff tuned
I see
the other thing that's applicable in other cases (but not this one) is that you can cheat and have your 3rd monster not tuned if your 2nd monster is tuned but snipes the swift threat
maybe i'm talking too much without even trying to understand why you fucked up
was your cov not tuned by accident? or was it intentional and you thought you didn't need to race?
a mix of rune issue and thinking swift moore isnt that common
note it didn't even need to be a swift moore to cut you with your speeds
it's not uncommon for a random newb to slap on their best despair set on a moore
yeah just checked swgt
and it happens to be like +170ish
that was enough to cut your cov
random newbs aren't going to rune things to be on tick
ok so you were aware that your cov wasn't tuned
yes
and just thought you could cheat in this situation
ok
i know in someone else's thread i floated the "+180 spd" number for praline
so first, your cov isn't even tuned to a +180 spd praline, so this is way too slow in practically all cases
and second, this isn't a def where the +180 spd number applies to. because moore can be a fast spd threat
you have to go much much faster
not even because of swift moore
but because someone can just put a very fast despair/vio set on him
I see
I think if I really want to doublesnipe properly ill have to go back to giants though
+173 cov is not really something I can do
while still doing dmg
especially in wgb where I potentially want to use some of these swift runes somewhere else
shouldn't have left in the first place
probably not no
also you can just use swop or swtools for tuning praline
swgt is way too much work for simple tuning
Rosemary
Has to be water (or LD, but you get the point)
Freeze + pushback
The CD is very low
During the second cycle you will start getting freezes guaranteed
oh wow thats a great idea
Poseidon is bad
Yeah I don't usually like talking about CC team knowledge because it's not well known to be honest 
But I'll give you that
ty
any chance gildong would be usable in that slot in that case? idk if its pushing it
strip+def break on s3 with decent add damage scaling, multi hit s2 stun and s1 glancing/att debuff that can be increased by hyanes as well
not having atb control probably makes it worse than tyron right
I dont see what gildong does there
the strips come from hyanes with backup from dark homie
oh nvm the turn other doesnt let him do his thing 
after that you want hard cc and atb contrl
yeah just ignore it he needs slow first to have consistent stun that wouldnt make sense with the turn order that is used
I'll share replay in guild
is there a way I can also see it 
im testing in battle research against this def that was already there
and first turn is very dangerous for me
Isn’t this what malite is for
I dont know 
I wouldn't recommend it specifically against Taranys
It's not an alternative there
Realistically speaking you are taking this into defenses that do not have a wind unit
There's still a risk on turn 1
I think it's scary if they are 286 specifically
Alternatively jeongnam is an option
Again same thing
Don't use into Taranys
If you want to hit Taranys you're gonna need Verad for that if you want it to be reasonably safe
alright thanks 
I honestly don't feel like jeongnam gives enough cc though
I feel like rosemary is a lot better
Okeanos is better if there isn't a water unit that has to be controlled
Sagar is also very good
Same deal, no fire unit if you wanna use sagar
I dont have jeongnam anyway 
thanks for the options
@chilly bough is there any permutation that works without Verad into ashour brita taranys? From what I’ve seen all the alternatives you’re throwing out don’t work into rgb
Lavender maybe
tried lavender in battle research, didnt feel much better than rosemary
mightve been wrong piloting tho
eredas might be cool but I dont like his activation rate
If there is I don't know it
I've tested a lot of stuff
I mean if you have LD5s there are options
Shan for example
Dark Douglas
quick wgb hits:
3) sagar valid here? realized after pressing play theres 3 units with stun potential on s1. (with possibly despair nana) so provoke/reset control can be dangerous I think?
4) I still dont know how to beat this with 4*, I think jlh is fine for wgb but siege also exists so
5) cooked this up, seems very normal to me


wind robo 
I like Sagar too but try wind robo
I want to improve this def a bit, dont really know what to put on leftside, this wont live any cleave with or without -ele
it is g1, ent has told me people tend to just bruiser everything and forget about cleave so I went for vio eshir (also the fact that swift eshir is super fake)
you showed 2 mihyangs
oh oops
first, skill up your units
just checked since last time I got enough 4*s to skill monte s2 and mihyang s3
so its just mihyang s2 missing 2
all 3 of your units are missing skillups
ill put this one on hold until I get the skillups then
Don't run this defense it sucks
Run something better is my first suggestion
Monte in g1 especially is very meme
ill do that tmrw, its scuffed because I runed stuff for rush
1-9
ok im gonna post it when I fix it
I realized my carc is one grind away from tick since I regemmed a rune
that was fast
the skillups missing on seren is also something I missed, have the devils
I think I figured out why it's not winning
It's runed like fucking garbage

You're trying to beat bruiser right
What unit do you think people go for first
Or at least test the waters of first
If they are bruisering this
I think carc?
I really dont know how to rune defs, especially if I dont know how to bruiser them myself 
if I HAD to hit this I would julie it
look at that poor little guy
if tractor touches him with his big thumb he's gonna fall over and have his knee broken
do I just rune him tankier on cr then? or full tank 

to answer your question because you are my friend
normally i would just say
go read beginner pvp
because this is answered there
you want to rune carcano as a bruiser
Im missing something very obvious
does that look like a bruiser to you
no 
okay
well
that's part 1
part 2 is
again in #1048719420870107227
accuracy is relevant for carcano
it's certainly not the lowest acc carc i've ever seen, but you should not be building carc on cdmg here
to answer as clearly as possible
cr slot 4
build tankier
im reruning rn 
with carcano getting 286 with HP% or ATK% slot 2 shouldn't be that hard either
also seren is moving before carc
which
well
think about it for a minute
yeah no it makes no sense
156+131 = 287
145+154 = 299
that would be
another reason why your defense isn't winning
because its just not tuned properly
if i was some dumb idiot bozo
and i ran TWL into this
and for some reason
seren moves BEFORE carc
i would be like
holy shit #blessed
I dont even farm the bozos
that's why you're not winning
build carc tankier
make him move BEFORE seren but AFTER iris
Iris -> Carc -> seren
and trim some of the unneeded speed off seren
its ok tian lang kumar kiki is still owning right
it went 10-20 I think
that's really good
but it kinda uses up most of my good vio runes
is this acc acceptable if I run 16% s3 acc arti
then for carc to move before seren I can do this (purple grind to make it 286)
I dont have a proper hp% s2 so this is on atk%/cr/atk%
is a super squishy seren acceptable in this def
(it has one completely ungrinded rune)
I like to err on the side of more tankiness
But if this is what you are cooking with send it
this may be irrelevant but I love your reply lol
+1 
10-0, question about this:
is this not possible to hyanes without verad? or is there a +1 that can do this.
I was mostly scared of not landing on byung for some reason, so went with wind robo. I figured on -fire I could tank a carc hit before it dies
I couldnt, wind robo got one shot lol. got the win but could very well have lost here
or is the general thing just, dont do this into carc, if he takes a turn you wont land anything on him anymore
ig anything not elemental neutral as the +1 makes it not that reliable
i personally never saw anyone running that without verad besides ppl making stuff for content
there's some stuff
@chilly bough knows a few
scarlet already listed some options before, I went through them for this hit
none of the seemed very good
hm
well for this defense in particular
there's no swift threat so you could probably tiana gally cp
no cp 
my options with tiana are poseidon or zaiross
and none of those sound super safe
I dont do those anymore
thats okay enough for 'if I have to hit it' for me
but if theres a hyanes angle here I would love to know it
You're using wind robo into a fire unit

my intuition here is that most bruisers probably die- so don't think abt bruisers into this
Do not do this
imo seems pretty safe?
even if you full glance on carc don't you still probably win most of the time
Most of the time you win on offense
tiana s2 always hits
That's how offense works
seems 90wr to me
If carc glances then procs you lose
yeah it was very stupid
is there an option tho 
fair enough
I don't want to talk about any more CC teams sorry
90wr equal to my wr this siege 
It's not well known enough
understandable
You can do it with wind robo
When there isnt fire unit
A large amount of the time
scarlet
just wanna confirm this intuition is correct?
that and the complete randomness of defbreaks is really annoying for me to figure that out
carc isn't completely random
Decreases the Defense of the enemy with the worst HP status for 1 turn at the start of each turn. [Automatic Effect]
Decrease DEF (1 round(s))
theo is tho ig
theo is tho
but yeah so that's why i think it looks like cc- cuz you can't sonia byung apparently
maybe kahli sonia mihy
but byung still scary
so nvm
I dont think 'I' can
- I think this was trapped? sonia didnt kill chandra. ill explain with extra images below why I think this
- felt a bit meh with tl getting atb from dhomie s1, was still fine tho
- kill odin again with mihyang and it should be fine
- Im pretty sure ive made this mistake before. jlh into rakan sucks
- standard
What was the plan for byung
its not much of a trap
if you dont use sonia with spd buff she's not any better than a cov or other f2p sniper
in fact she's probably worse than a covenant
Sonia bases are nicer than covs
But no matter what happens byung is soloing you more than half the time I’d imagine
first of all, no will anywhere, shield sets. on my dmg dummy (bolv with 1 shield set) I deal 79k (with -23 wind on bolv). I dealt 46k on chandra
read sonias skills
No spd buff basically
your bolv is slow
that chandra is probably a "normal" speed which is actually still faster than your sonia
doesn't even have to be swift
Swift outspeeds praline is the problem
I didnt consider the swift as a part of sonia lacking dmg no
Right? Ashour just pew pews his poor Sonia and then he loses
yea but no one is going to do swift chandra
don't confuse him
this has nothing to do with swift chandra or not
Well, yeah. but just another problem is that you shouldn’t be pralining Chandra’s in the first place- seperate from the issue of Sonia losing passive value without spd buff
honestly I couldve done cov/fire kass. put praline on a shield set and this would be much better for this def
no?
yes, but only if you have decent runes
first can we stop saying dog rat gun it's cringe
these are the snipe sets I used
just annoying in the context of this channel
covs set is starving I know
Fair enough
but no of course not
you can't even reliably kill these tanky stuff with attack buff
how do you expect to kill them without attack buff
Fair enough
How was 2r
missed a lot on tl and he got s2 off after my first turns, he got a stun on hyanes
rosemary started going off after this and the only turn he took was a s1 from tl
really like rosemary here

There 👏 are 👏 leo 👏 offenses 👏 without 👏 helena 👏
please teach me how to use them
ive used leo feng tetra a few times
but tetra was in r5 
ROUND 5

!
Why don’t you just malite r5
uhm
because ive never used my malite before 
and Im not super sure how to use him
you can use a number of other healers for r5 anyway
like lulu
there's no point in tetra there, the strength of tetra is that she can heal even when she is cc'ed
but that def isn't even going to cc tetra, so tetra isn't the best pick
I see, will be using my lulu there from now on then
another doublesnipe question:
the plan here is to snipe platy and shahat, let irene trap either colleen or fire kass and I should easily win the 2v1 in either scenario
Is swift irene a threat that I should look out for here?
if thats the case, can I go praline (L) cov fire kass, resulting in the praline+cov vs irene (I dont know if this 2v1 is super safe but should be fine I think)
You know what would be funny is if it was swift Shahat. That's insane person behavior but it would be hilarious
I don't think swift shahat is ever built though. Not worth it.
I think ive heard the swift irene thing before, but it was in tourney context iirc 
wtf
stop jayke
in all seriousness though
no there's no swift threat
if you lose to swift shahat/irene/whatever
it's ok guys unluck go next

just be careful that your booster is actually fast enough
so you don't randomly get outsped
nobody at this rank is gonna run them swift
with that kind of def i don't think i'd even be worried
so what's the combat speed we have
uh
