Hello! So, im following the ?ad guide, and I have a few questions:

  1. How do people build their Speed Lead Vanessa? I plan on my AD being Vanessa (L) Byungchul Clara Vigor
  2. Is Byungchul a 'weak stripper' like Amduat, if he is unskilled? If not, and having 2 strippers here is redundant, who should I replace Clara with?

Just put her on generic tanky runes. You might be worrying too much about ad, spend more time improving offense

#

Multiple strippers are never redundant, they all do other things too

#

That being said you should avoid using unskilled anything on def

wintry kite
#

I can currently only do Lushen offense. THAT IS, if doublesnipe ao is worth building without owning Jamire, and that im not so sure of

#

If you’re shooting for g1, that ad is fine - don’t think too hard about trying to make it better

wintry kite
#

alright, I wont.

obsidian nimbus
#

Show your lushen offense

#

We can probably make it better

wintry kite
# obsidian nimbus Show your lushen offense

I think the glaring issue is my swift topset not being great, routinely losing speed races against a triton 33 lead, which is supposed to give me 4 base speed advantage with Kabilla. As for Lushen, I know the atk/cd balance is off, but considering 10atk = ~1%cd, this is what gave me the most net-damage as per swop. As for Psamathe, he was tricky to rune since I don't really know how to tune him to the rest of the team. Like, I don't know how much speed to give him, so maybe I could be giving him more damage and not knowing it

obsidian nimbus
#

Yes you’ll run into real fast people sometimes but on a whole you should still be outspeeding vast majority of tritons at that speed, aiming for g1

#

Psama is best on double nem will

#

This makes him really good into enemy psama

#

His speed (approx +100) is fine

#

Is it really 50/50? I’d be surprised if you were getting outsped that often

wintry kite
#

Well, more like 60/40 (outspeeding/getting outsped), but I still feel like it happens more often than it should

wintry kite
#

The ?ao command mentions that you can run another speed lead in place of Jamire, but what is your opinion?

obsidian nimbus
#

It’s not great right now I wouldn’t do it

#

You have nothing else?

#

Everything requires good runes anyway, there are no shortcut teams

# obsidian nimbus Everything requires good runes anyway, there are no shortcut teams

Yeah I know that, I wasn't looking for a shortcut, just more teams for AO, even if its an alternative version. It would me climb ranks because it would allow me to hit more kinds of defenses. I hardly see lushenable defenses past p3, which is my highest finish currently. Like during rush, I could get 2-3 pages in a row of defenses I can't cleave with Lushen.

obsidian nimbus
#

I still lushen defs in g3

#

Use midweek to limit test what you can lushen

#

You may be able to safely lushen more than you think

final spindle
#

Why not run this?

ionic flame
#

Swift gapped with 33 lead will be even worse with 24

#

And I’m p sure he’s posting a def he got outsped by not an off he’s using

final spindle
#

Ah okay then gap issue

#

Even though he won since his ao is off will/shield

wintry kite

#

I meant that your psamathe,kabilla,konamiya.lushen ao beats the maxi defense you posted

#

Since based on the picture of the ao you posted you’re not using will/shield sets

wintry kite

#

You usually want will on psama so his skills don’t get reset

#

But this whole thing is a sidetrack, don’t worry about it

#

Just keep farming and improving your builds, and spend some time testing your offenses so you have a better sense what they can hit before rush

wintry kite
#

but yeah ill just keep farming tbh

Woonsa only boosts if he strips

wintry kite
#

ooooh

final spindle
#

You should post your whole box so we can help you make 33 triton counters

wintry kite
final spindle
#

Yes

wintry kite
#

I read ?ao, and like I said, there is not one team where I have all of the monsters required to even consider runing them

final spindle
#

I don’t use any of the teams in ?ao except lamiella amber

#

It’s just a guideline

#

It doesn’t cover every team combinations for certain defenses

wintry kite
#

ah, I see. I guess im so used to following the guides to a T that I dont consider the other options, as I dont have much knowledge

#

I'll send my box, im just starting my rush while im doing it so it might be a bit

final spindle
#

Too late to start runing. Just focus on rush and send box after

wintry kite
#

ok

wintry kite
#

I have a few strippers on hand, but they're not like hard/strong strippers like Tiana, Haegang or even Triton himself.

final spindle
#

Carlos lead,Leo,konamiya,and lushen for 33 tritons with no amduats and tian langs

wintry kite
#

I dont have Leo. I have red leo though 🥲

final spindle
#

Oh I thought u had him based on the first picture

wintry kite
#

huh?!

#

why is Leo there?!

#

the fuck?

#

I deadass do not own him

final spindle
wintry kite
#

yeah I genuinely dont know what gives

#

maybe swgt is a terrible way of gathering box intel

#

ig im better off sc them manually

final spindle
#

We’ll get Leo next stone rotation or free nat 5 event

wintry kite
#

yes

#

But for the meantime, is there anything you can cook up, offense wise?

#

I finished p2 this time around sadly, but my personal highest is p3

final spindle
#

Let’s see

#

You could try vero,sath,hemos, and tomoe

#

For 33 tritons teams that don’t reapply immunity buff

#

Just keep applying poison. Vero s2 when you can and tomoe s3 on the enemy with the most poison debuffs(and hopefully stunned so you can spread that too)

#

For hemos, use s2 first and then s3 so the additional turn can help you cycle back into his s2

#

Gonna cook up another team but give me a few minutes so I don’t look stupid

final spindle
#

Ok I can’t cook the one I’m thinking with your box. Just remember to keep a dupe wind exorcist association hunter

#

If you get one

final spindle
#

Without Leo you’re pretty much stuck with the dot t2 teams for rush

obsidian nimbus
#

@final spindle i appreciate your enthusiasm to give advice but a lot of what you're suggesting is extremely questionable

#

leo carlos team is unreliable and i would never recommend it to anyone

#

same for aya teams, they suck

#

completely f2p dot teams are really bad

final spindle
#

Ik the dot team isn’t the best, but I was trying to give him the best one I can think of since he wants g1 asap. He doesn’t have tr1x,Nora,nor moogwang

#

Also why is aya team bad? If the defense is Vanessa triton and say ren for example, aya teams can kill them very fast

#

Especially Leo,feng yan, double aya or maybe even single aya plus 1

#

Carlos fair. It’s just a cheese team for quickly getting g1 if the tritons don’t kill the bird

wintry kite
#

Is this defense lushenable? I'm worried about fire guy surviving but idk

kind stirrup
#

That's why you have psama for cleanup

obsidian nimbus
#

you should try it

#

i dunno exactly how good that new guy is

#

if it was any other fire monster then 100% yes

#

this is exactly the type of def you're searching for to hit

#

actually if you could, hit it and share replay win or lose

#

i'm curious to see the order of his passive vs psama

wintry kite
#

Oh shit, I didn't see this earlier, and I ended up refreshing the list. Sorry!

final spindle
#

Fire Jin can also cut in between Alice’s s3 into s2 guaranteed unlike Moore upon freezing/killing an enemy

obsidian nimbus
#

thanks for testing

#

the fact that psama counter goes before fire jin makes fire jin kinda shitty

#

or i guess not shitty, maybe hes still good in other areas, but as far as lushening him goes, it doesn't make him a major deterrent

#

i was worried that if fire jin goes first, then he could strip will off your psama and then enemy psama can stun/increase cd on him

wintry kite
obsidian nimbus
#

you should still rune them

#

just dont prioritize good runes on them that you're using elsewhere
