You could also get a decent approximation after 1 pixel gets depleted

#

since I haven't done this anni yet as well

#

rat gaming

literally takes 0 damage

except for those ranged dudes that spawn at the end ExuHyperStare

#

Rainchan or something claimed it was turned into 25 hours somewhere after POO

merry narwhal
#

But how do we measure the clear speed of POO runs if not in Skalter s2 activations

crisp bolt
#

to be fair I thought they already increased skalter activation after CN dealt with pinchout

latent monolith
#

Or hoederer for that matter

cinder pike
#

We can count with exu timings

#

We port IS3 ligma to poo

iirc I only check every like 5 mins

merry narwhal
#

PPS is the new DPS

half flint
#

and even after 5 mins it barely loses any health

gleaming lodge
#

In Cinder that's how I was doing

#

I'm not talking about the POO kind of stall

#

But something a bit more dynamic, where it's not simply the final setup you go to bed on

gleaming lodge

idk mate
But it hurts

glass monolith
#

2 years ago was CC6, we had shit squad UI, we couldn't read talent mid combat, and barely anyone had module DIE

cinder pike
#

Which cc was cinder?

crisp bolt
#

I started with cc11 RosChill

sly pivot
#

cc3

crisp bolt
#

I skipped all other ccs before then

sly pivot

the sarkaz clappers

I started at 3 with Mudrock gaming

gleaming lodge
latent monolith
#

CC8 was my first CC (that I never actually cleared because the gimmick just killed me)

gleaming lodge
#

Starting on CC#8 is not funny HellaBruh

glass monolith
#

Not sure for CN, but they were on Yostar time flow, as modules were around time DH happened which is when i joined so for me "modules were always a thing"

gleaming lodge
#

Sleep stall AmiyaYes

glass monolith
#

Imagine starting in CC#7 HellaKek

crisp bolt
#

man that would just kill me

gleaming lodge
#

CC#7 is ez clap
Once you understand the mechanics

sly pivot
#

no modules were relevant for cc6 during that time

#

cause DH had like what

gleaming lodge
#

(I never did)

sly pivot
#

pass and mag mods?

crisp bolt
#

I started on the easiest cc in the game RosChill

glass monolith
#

Exactly. Thats' why i used guide to even do stage on R0

gleaming lodge
#

CC#8 is not the easiest ??

tidal sedge
#

DH was summoner and instructor modules

cinder pike
#

Which one, cc4?

sly pivot
#

oh pass mod wasnt even out

#

troll

#

not even aoe medics?

well ng mod was out in cc7

If I rushed my ling module I might have managed a ling clear though

But I wasn't as serious back then

lapis hornet
#

pinchout is my first cc thank god for kyo WarSmug

gleaming lodge
#

If you speedrun correctly you can have an E2 by the end of a CC season, assuming you created your account on the day CC starts

sly pivot
#

my ass aint getting sl7 before cc ends

i think for low end cc8 was p harsh

just think back on what ccs 3* cant r18 ๐Ÿซก

low end cc8 made me mald but idk if it was super hard, or if i sucked, or both

holy crap why is arkrec taking 10 years to load

gleaming lodge

She gets to 3.6k ATK every 4.5s (3s with shield)

cosmic thicket

that makes sense

sly pivot
#

so w/e

#

w1 did r16

#

r16 is max rewards anyways

#

medals arent real...

gleaming lodge
#

Don't you get like 10 tokens for r17 and r18 ?

sly pivot
#

i think cc5 was up there too

#

as a hard one

cinder pike

Was that the 2 Knights one?

with his trash taunt

get rekt by taunt BlitzSmile

lapis hornet

I swear half the times I wanna use him he's actually bad fffsss

scarlet fulcrum

I used stall strat, so no mlynar RedOmegaLul , yeah taunt be like. ppl camp with him ig

crisp bolt

when silencealter could've been useful BlitzSmile

lapis hornet
#

I gave up and tried a different strat with ntr and ash lol

#

actually got it second try

#

also first time in a while I've used chalter

crisp bolt
#

I've been too lazy to do 600

#

I'll get it done eventually

lapis hornet
#

I did 600 day 1 or 2 idr wasn't too difficult bit of a stat check tho

crisp bolt
#

I need surtr RosChill

scarlet fulcrum
#

Actually i can insert Angelina for arts flex since its stall, but i forgor and used ceobe

lapis hornet
#

oh yeah I tried ceobe but it didn't work well for me

#

maybe should have tried longer I see strats with her

#

mainly did top with chalter eyja suzu

scarlet fulcrum
#

Burst strat pog

lapis hornet
#

my hoshi wasn't tanking well tho not sure if I needed mod x or y idk

#

so yeah I tried burst instead lul

scarlet fulcrum
#

I used nian, welp hoshit still modless even now

lapis hornet
#

whatever

#

I hear jessica gonna be a better brick either way

#

not too fussed

#

getting good use out of hoshi lately

#

by lately I mean past year lol

scarlet fulcrum
#

Jessica godsend for defenderknights obviously, not gamechanger in general tho

cinder pike
#

Did her direction change even affect anything?

crisp bolt
#

it's nice for a few maps

latent anvil

jessica is so op

#

her alter is okay too ig

crisp bolt
#

she's good in is4 I've heard

scarlet fulcrum

The token has taunt iirc, it often used as helidrop bomb too. Direction change come in handy for certain situation ig

Just managed to clear WDEX8 without a guide!

Any tips for chally mode? xD

cinder pike
#

Golden Glow s3 works very well on this stage

#

Fart affects enemies after boss is dead.

lost summit
#

Wait the black stuff hits enemies too?

cinder pike
#

Yup

lost summit
#

Honestly my biggest problem was the drone

#

And thorns wasn't killing it and kept dying to the strikers

#

So I had to change my comp a bit

#

After that it was pretty simple

cinder pike
#

If you split box the boss, you can keep your defender away from getting farted on if you are using people like surtr

lost summit
#

Yeah I think that's what I did

#

Positioned my DPS away from the defenders

cinder pike
#

Texas alter and yato alter should trivialize this stage

lost summit
#

Texas is really good but doesn't do much to the boss

#

She kinda gets 1 tapped unfortunately

cinder pike
#

Well she's great against the strikers due to her mini stun

lost summit
#

My yato isn't leveled yet unfortunately

lost summit
#

My first few runs I did on S2 to see if she did anything to the boss

#

She was bad xD

#

You have any suggestions to comp besides yato? Can't put her in yet

cinder pike
#

No not really, you have a very good comp

#

Tho maybe another healer for stalling

#

Hello, what should three stars operator should I use? Or should I not use?

glass monolith
#

Early game it is okay, they are cheap, don't need chip stage to get promotions, Kroos do high damage, defenders block, Steward unlock skill to focus highest DEF in range which can be helpful at times.

gleaming lodge
#

Essentially they are all fine

#

But if you have a higher rarity operator of the same archetype, use the higher ratity

glass monolith
#

And that's how people start using Jessica HellaKek

frozen cedar
#

How much assistance do you want, i made a new account and managed CM with a team. Yato and texas combo do most of the work

gleaming lodge
lost summit
#

Saria is pretty tanky, and kaltsit helps too, they're healing off each other in my positioning

frozen cedar
#

enemies in gas get an ASPD debuff after the emporer dies

#

so you can park mountain just outside of the gas and he can have enough ASPD debuff to survive the red sentinel things and manage to kill it for example, I think

lost summit
#

Oh I forgot about borrowing

frozen cedar
#

you have poze, her typewriter...is probably also 'not on the map'

#

I haven't tested poze typewriter vs emporer blade, I had Yato and borrowed texas

ocean herald
#

!?

ocean herald
#

bro you're losing to an easy stage and you're 6 star carried

lost summit
#

I mean WD EX 8 is hard you know

ocean herald
#

you're making excuses

frozen cedar
#

you put a defender here, you put two medics on her, you hold the boss and trigger his gas in good places, you kill him and then deal with the final wave

ocean herald
#

you're 6 star carried and you can't win!?

#

unfortunate

lost summit
#

What's your problem? Are you mad that I've pulled better characters than you? Like I see no need for this

frozen cedar

I could probably do it if I tried a few more times but I was asking for basic tips for my comp and placement before that so it would be a bit easier

frozen cedar
lost summit
frozen cedar
#

and kill everything else while you plan out the gas

#

pretty sure poze, texas and yato can deal with phase 2

#

if you had an e2 hoshiguma you could easily sit out phase 2

#

because hoshi and 2 medics can easily out survive him

lost summit
#

Hmm. I have a leveled croissant

#

Here's my char list

frozen cedar
#

the main issue are the red sentries that come after he dies

#

ok.

lost summit
#

It's slightly out of date

#

Skalter is leveled, and mods for Saria and Texas

#

And rosmo

frozen cedar
#

you don't have any pioneers leveled?

lost summit
#

Saga? Bagpipe? Aren't they?

glass monolith
#

Saga is, he is on copium

frozen cedar
#

no, fang, courier, texas ....saga yes

lost summit
#

Texas is E2 50 though now that's myb

#

This is the team I used for normal mode

frozen cedar
#

aside from kal, do you have medics leveled?

lost summit
#

I have a E1 70 ptilo and E1 80 Nightingale

#

and a reasonably leveled sussuro

#

E1 60 or stmh

frozen cedar
#

maybe this for a team

glass monolith
#

Context issue is WD EX 8 CM coping?

cosmic thicket
#

thorns??

glass monolith
#

(It is their only anti-artillery drone from what i seen above FrankaWheeze )

spark sinew
#

they have pozy on the ss above

lost summit
#

I ran chalter just for the drone Im gonna be real

#

She 4 shots it

#

Made it reaaaly easy

spark sinew
#

you can run chalter anyway cause it's chalter
but pozy should do fine with drones

glass monolith

Drone follow standard agro rules, just have it waste time on Saria, Nearl or whatever you have

glass monolith
#

Main issue is not that you can get shit hyper bloated on HP.
Issue is that it is "easier" to get shit hyper bloated on HP than take ATK risks and try to burst before bursted without some hyper advanced planing like that "Make all melee robots 1 hp, then wake them, then kill them"

#

Any thoughts about matoimaru helidrop?

#

Like deploy her and then use ability and then retreat

somber falcon
#

Weird af usage but not impossible ig

spark sinew
#

if you're using s2 she would probably die/almost die on her own anyway, so sure

#

that said, her cooldowns are not that big afaik? so using her as helidrop is not that good

somber falcon
#

She's fine against mobs tbf

lean obsidian
#

Where she does not retreat when falling to 0

#

It's like horns talent but less HP and +30

#

Aspd

spark sinew
#

yeah but it doesn't do much

#

what i meant is that if you don't want to support her, redeploying is a good option - it would "restore" her hp to full and she won't die

#

but if you want her to hold her lane, ideally you actually proc her death, and then make her stay on the field

lean obsidian
#

So you're trying to say that she is more reliable on lane holding than helidrop?

spark sinew
#

you can use her in either role. Her short skill cooldowns (and s1 healing her hp) make her suitable for "laneholding" yeah

#

module doesn't lean into either direction much, since it helps both roles

lean obsidian
#

Oh

frozen cedar
lean obsidian
spark sinew
#

oh it's not a waifu pick?

#

there are lots of options to choose from, depending on what exactly you need
something like moduled hellagur is a menace even against arts enemies for example

dazmati cluster autos don't do that much damage

#

Hi anyone found useful applications of silence alter s2? I'm deciding if I should mastery it for consistet AAK buffs on Squishies.

#

An alternate use would be on pennance, letting her hp drop below half before sheilding up to grant her permenant big %dmg reduction

deft badger
#

well she was useful to me

nimble sierra
#

Been playing around on pennance blemishine stainless and shamare combo and its surprisingly tanky, able to go toe to toe with the steamknight on h11-4 Thinking of swapping shamare with silence alter

nimble sierra
spark sinew
#

24% shelter is not that much, if we're talking about penance, that said i'm confused, are you talking about s3 silence, not s2?

#

does this not work on enmity? i never tried

deft badger
#

i used her s3 not s2
one case never will probably be again in need of her..

nimble sierra
#

Hmm true the math dosent really work out

spark sinew
#

i mean ig it does by reducing the rate of penance's hp falling but it seems too convoluted

nimble sierra
#

Yeah it does work on enormity I've tried it out. Only thought was using it on mumu clones

#

Idk if they count as Rhine lab operators

nimble sierra
#

I have been using ptilopsis to heal the non enimities but I just thought that silence would fit the team better

spark sinew
#

if your penance hp drops she's as good as dead anyway

#

tried bards yet?

nimble sierra
#

But I don't think it would be worth the s2m3 investment

#

Oh the team revolves around aak or belmi stainless to replenish her shield at stupid rates

nimble sierra
#

I know it's a convoluted team but it's just funny to use pennance to tank bosses

spark sinew
#

as long as you're having fun

nimble sierra
#

Yeah tried skadi perfumer but it dosent really work out efficiency wise

somber falcon
#

What

nimble sierra
#

I'm curious is silence alter s2m3 prevents aak from one shooting golden glow

#

Alone

#

I've done the math and it's...not comforting

spark sinew
#

why wouldn't you use s3 for that

nimble sierra
#

Yes but her S2 cycle is shorter and matches aak golden glow cycle for spammability

#

I guess skadi S2 can tip the scales in their favour but then it becomes a bit too bulky team wise

spark sinew
#

which skadi, alter?

nimble sierra
#

Idea is basically super golden glow turret with global range and spammable

#

Yep alter

spark sinew
#

you 100% want to use skadi here yes

#

cut anything else for her, she buffs gg greatly Bnuuy

#

probably better than some convoluted 3 op combo, due to GGs low stats

nimble sierra
#

Hmm i mean

#

4 op

#

Skadi silence alter ask goldenglow

#

With ptilo somewhere else on the frontline tanks

#

Then the 4 of them just squat in the backline and Lazer beam everyone to death from across the map

#

Hmmm

#

Then texalter to helidrop and lower rez

#

Then abyssal team to split lanes and hold the line

#

Ok gonna try that out with S2lv7

#

Gonna be actually usable when aak gets his module and acts as a aa sniper

crisp bolt
#

nimble sierra
#

Yeah but

#

#

Is silence can replace her

#

Hmmmmmmmmm

spark sinew
#

#

whats this btw?

#

do i have to do them all or just any of them?

Oh shit wait that's shining S2!!!!

bear in mind gg dies horribly if shining would be distracted by something

nimble sierra
#

Another dumb question but ceobe mod 3 actually useful in POO. By stacking defence into stupid numbers does her damage actually scale properly?

nimble sierra
#

Gotta be careful with that one hha

spark sinew
#

it's not particularly useful in POO since it doesn't accomplish anything at all, just saves a bit of time

#

but for general content it's a strong boost to ceobe's damage

nimble sierra
#

True true. I used the leak start myself just trying to justify ceobe upgrades so close to executor

somber falcon
spark sinew
#

it's a big upgrade for ceobe and solidifies her niche
but how often do you use casters?

#

so yeah...

deft badger
#

still doesn't answer my question

spark sinew
#

tis the IS2 monthly

#

it's like IS3 monthly but IS2

#

same rules for rewards i believe

cyan gorge
#

Just reach floor 3 then quit for rewards ReedBean

somber falcon
deft badger
#

the question was what do i have to do, didn't wanna know if its the same like is3 since i did run it to the end there

#

anyway i did ask what are the conditions zenith gave me the answer ty

cyan gorge
#

Is3 monthly squads work the exact same way

somber falcon
spark sinew
#

also only going for rewards... i mean you do you i suppose

deft badger
#

u got it, don't care much about the story or what it says i did try to skip that thing for a long time

only thing i wanted is a do this answer didn't wanna be rude or anything

I'm surprised people can get enough dps using Teq/Pluma

limpid siren

then there's exactly one tile where blacknight can sit

limpid siren
balmy jolt
#

Rly? They're both target capped

limpid siren
#

pluma isn't

#

?

balmy jolt
#

oh wait

#

the heal is based on block count

limpid siren
#

teq might be capped at 3, but he kills those three faster than basically every other 5*

balmy jolt
#

but she hits everyone?

limpid siren
#

yes

balmy jolt
#

Jesus translations

limpid siren
#

the trouble with pluma is that she's fragile

balmy jolt
#

thats very good to know ty

limpid siren
#

you have to be careful about who she blocks

#

there's a good reaper corner though

#

where she can use her range to great advantage

balmy jolt
#

yeah its a good map for reaper for sure

limpid siren
#

teq's other big benefit is that he's a fat 3 blocker when his skill is up

#

and if you have ptilopsis, they're both up for every meaningful wave

#

you can manage it even if you take the sp risk

#

hung is also a decent blocker to use

#

because his s2 charges so fast

balmy jolt
#

yea using the shit out of hung

limpid siren
#

3 enemies blocked and 1 - 3 rockets hitting him

balmy jolt
#

Don't have Teq sadly

limpid siren
#

if you have your support slot free you can borrow mine

Nah don't want to do that, but appreciate the offer

I am in dire need of a better team for EX8 lonetrail. I managed to clear but only with a borrowed Volcano Eyja which was kinda cheating .

limpid siren

You cleared it tho

Itโ€™s okay, youโ€™re free now

use a shifter
you're playing hard mode without it

It took me 2 damn hours for that one level I stg

why would you autodeploy on ex8 Bnuuy

lost summit

Will it not eventually rerun for Intel certs

i think for intel you usually need to clear challenge mode ex8

at least for other events it was like that

I did at least get immense satisfaction thru all my retries by one shooting the boss so many times

Turns out Surtr + Mlynar + Chalter does a lot of damage

when it reruns

so you would actually get first clear rewards

Donโ€™t stress too much about setting up autodeploys now, itโ€™s going to be easier when the event reruns and youโ€™re stronger anyway

Fair enough. Would be so satisfying though. Did all of the ones thru Ex7 so it's just disappointing

you can do it without a support by refining the strat if you wanted

Raythean Hard mode sounds like the better path for me

lucid field
#

Any strategy way to clear this map using 4 star operator(or below?)

limpid siren
#

mousse's atk debuff is going to be the core
gravel is probably not that useful if you want to go for low op, but otherwise will still put in some work by baiting Burning Breath and/or face tanking crystal fire

the rest is likely the usual suspects for large squad 4* runs
sussurro/perfumer medics (probably want a third), gummy utility tank, cutter dps

#

you'll be redeploying a lot so jaye might actually not be good, and myrtle will probably be mandatory to help setup

jovial nest
#

4 stars or below. Gonna be quite the stall

#

if you want direct references to how, you can look for ILA or Silvergun's clears on it.

although ILA is 3* oriented

That could be considered a sign of madness from me

Because huh... This chat is more #map-help than anything now...

gleaming lodge
#

Saria S3 is niche

gleaming lodge
#

Saria S2 is only good in poison haze maps
Outside of that, it's a bait

frozen cedar
#

Sarai s1 is single target, s2 is AOE, and S3 is...uh, special

gleaming lodge
#

S3 is bigger AoE, more heal, slows enemies and increases arts dmg

#

It's bloody amazing

frozen cedar
#

its basically suzuran s3 with worse uptime

gleaming lodge
#

S2 has a big SP cost, wastes most of its heal in overheal and you shouldn't have more than 2 ops taking damage anyways

gleaming lodge
#

Well, that's not really the meta anymore

#

So I guess it's natural Saria S3 isn't as impressive as it used to be

frozen cedar
spark sinew
#

saria s2 can also be used if enemy would kill you from >50% hp

frozen cedar
#

thanks for the premission

#

I always use s2 unless it doesn't work

spark sinew
#

and you can't use medics, whether because of no tiles or due to risk banning it

gleaming lodge
spark sinew
#

always using her s2 is just flexing that your acc is way stronger than it should be for that particular map

gleaming lodge
spark sinew
#

you use other ops as well

#

basically this situation is from CC0, from my memory

frozen cedar
#

for the unit economy, saria s2 provides moderate healing over a wide range

spark sinew
#

no tiles for medics, but you were using 2 healing defenders

frozen cedar
#

possibly saving you the need for a medic

#

saria s1 saves a unit from death when a medic can't keep up

spark sinew
#

obviously for much higher risk you were using that feater + SA nuke, but for like r25-26 saria s2 + nearl s1 were better than both on s1 for example

#

the bursts of damage were also non constant, since they originated from slugs dying

gleaming lodge
#

Barrenlands ???
You used Saria S2 in barrenlands ?! Damn...

frozen cedar
#

was barrenlands CC-0?

gleaming lodge
frozen cedar
#

cuz I used saria and nearl in barrenlands

#

and hoshi

gleaming lodge
#

Yeah

#

And you used S1

frozen cedar
#

S1 nearl s2 saria probably

gleaming lodge
#

Because you need to keep 1 target alive
Like everyone should

If that happens

lemme reroll for that spider rng splitbox with gravel

is CC0 the last CC that banned medics?

You can't, or shouldn't, tank that hit

yes UI trash. it takes too long to stack 100 planning

and idk how to make it easier

frozen cedar

yeah if it wants us to get 100 planning we should be able to sort by planning

It could be 'sweet, spicy, umami' for all it seems to correlate with what the actual risks are

void river
#

cool UI but...

frozen cedar
#

i thought it looked neat, but actually doing anything with it was a mess

#

there should only be 4 categories.
things that make the enemies do more damage, things that make the enemies take less damage, things that affect deployment/DP generation, and uh 3 categories

just return old UI

frozen cedar
#

I really needed the LMD on one of my accounts

balmy jolt
#

Idk to me its weird to call gacha/strategy games 'not hard'

#

Like ya if you lookup what someone else did or use the 6 star p2w units its not to hard

#

If you figure it out yourself at the intended power level then its pretty fucking hard

spark sinew
#

what is intended power level though

#

it varies a lot

balmy jolt
#

Eehhh I'd say 5 star is pretty clearly intended power level for everything besides like extra credit CC/PO

spark sinew
#

and it's not fun to guess if you can bring your yellow horse or goat stealth revealer because they balanced shit around them

#

or it would make it giga easy

#

i'm not sure if 5 stars are intended power level

#

especially since 5 stars also have big outliers that are always present in the clears for example

balmy jolt
#

Think so?

#

Besides Myrtle nothing really comes to mind

spark sinew
#

are they too strong? is using them devaluing the game difficulty?
or are they just right, and then the rest of 5* just suck?

balmy jolt
#

I think 5 stars are just balanced and 1-2 are really strong on any given map (PO/CC included) but will be weaker on other event maps

#

Whereas when I used 6 star units I could throw Ifrit/Eyja/SA at literally any problem and it would instantly be solved

spark sinew
#

teq pluma ptil shamare i'd say are quite stronger than your regular 5*

#

not even talking about stall shenanigans with blacknight/bibeak and lisk, who can just break the difficulty

deft badger
balmy jolt
#

Can't speak for the first two but I don't really use Ptil more than any other healer

#

Sometimes I use her but a lot of the time Perfumer is better

#

And Warfarin is xany more dps

#

Silence has better range

fluid sail
balmy jolt
#

Shamare also idk if there's something I'm missing but Prammanix is better a lot of the time

#

Probably when you can't deploy healers to every part of the map? xD

#

Ooh um

#

Last event the spaceship one

#

There was a robot that Utage could not quite solo

#

But with Perfumer she could

fluid sail
balmy jolt
#

yeah I mean there is a tier list in terms of how versatile the 5 star units are

fluid sail
#

perf passive does have its uses but generally the sp boost from ptlopsis is more impactful

balmy jolt
#

But there are plenty of situations where I would prefer another healer to Ptil

#

Unlike say 6 star units

#

Where any situation could be solved with Ifrit/Eyja/SA

#

That's why the 5 star difficulty is intended, you don't use the same units every time

#

Obviously you still use some more than others

spark sinew
#

well i'm not that dedicated of a 5* user to only use them, but we do have a couple others (besides you) here
i was under assumption that 5* still have a core of ops that are just...better

#

so sure you swap around the rest, but the core usually stays, is that not the case?

gleaming lodge
balmy jolt
#

If I'm going in blind yeah I'll probably bring a core of Lappland/Kroos/Silence/Myrtle/Gummy/Leizi/Red/Perfumer and whoever

#

BUt those are all generalized characters so the more specialized a map gets I'll swap out more of them

#

The closest there is to a character I use literally every map is Myrtle

spark sinew
#

i meant uhhh
with enough optimisation, you will usually just have the "core" operators almost always be present on maps

#

those guys

#

so you cut ops until you can't clear anymore

balmy jolt
#

I mean maybe that's the case for other people but not for me LOL

#

One sec

#

Like half these characters I haven't used in months

#

Saria S2 could work in some silly strats with someone like Fiammetta where she gives 1 SP battery every so often I guess RedOmegaLul

All vgs.

idk what's all that controversial smh

tidal sedge
#

Yeah. But I do wonder if it wouldn't be "efficient" to just leave vgs at e1 unless you have ambitions for high diff IS or CC

proud drift
#

not necessarily

#

some VGs should be higher level so they can actually hold a lane for the beginning of the stage

#

cases being EX and S stages, especially CM

#

I'm thinking ones like Saga and Siege

slim ocean

it's more of a qol thing since you can argue you can beat most/all stages without e2ing anything

Myrtle and Saileach E2 opens up Masteries

Theres strong dps ops at those dp costs these days though

there's arguments to be made for E2 value

#

well

do those strong dps ops provide DP

lapis hornet

that's the thing

tidal sedge

They kill stuff for a good while, and time is DP

lapis hornet

if you have strong ops you don't need that dp anymore

proud drift

powercreep issue ig

#

except when you absolutely have to have dp, for example -75%dp gen

proud drift

but that's hard content specific

how frequent is DP gen CM

even then

okay

in your case Arts could be Angelina, Carnelian, Amiya, Click, Haze, Steward

actually you don't have Steward yet

Carnelian isn't exactly the best option either

tidal sedge

#

so you can either give Amiya some levels and plop her down

slim ocean

proud drift
#

Click and Haze aren't bad options, though Click sees a lot more use than Haze

when you get Steward consider giving him levels

you expect him to have pudding

though I did kinda forget about pudding (cause she isn't on his owned list)

to put units through longest possible path

that way your dps units can have more time to hit

# slim ocean what squad should i use

for the actual question at hand, common wisdom revolves around a "two of each, except supporters/specialists" for early game squads

you may consider the following:
ClassVanguard - texas, **courier **(texas is a bit fragile early, so if you get a charger like vigna you might like courier/**vigna **instead)
ClassGuard - get lappland if you have the big 5* selector, you can pair her with maybe **mousse **or **melantha **until you get a better option
ClassDefender - mudrock, bubble is fine
ClassSniper - kroos, shirayuki (wait for the next event to pick up insider, the welfare 5* marksman)
ClassCaster - click, lava (you can keep using **carnelian **if you really want, but she'll be tough to see much value out of for a young squad - same deal for angelina)
ClassMedic - get silence (from the 4 pick 5* ticket if you have it), otherwise run perfumer with **hibiscus **or ansel, whoever you think is cuter because it doesn't really matter

#

the sniper and caster slots are good for covering st and mt dps early on

#

lava is cheap and good enough to clear basically every early swarm stage with a bit of help

#

vanguards exist to chump block and accelerate dp early, which you'll kinda need with an expensive unit like mudrock (who will be very powerful at e1)

#

it's nice to mix in 3*s, because they're so cheap and the first two you raise to certain level thresholds give you rebates on the investment

#

your guard lineup is very weak if you don't have the 5* selectors, but okayish if you do

#

lappland is a strong unit for weak rosters, as she is a solid dps unit at lower levels and helps negate some nasty effects in three story chapters with her silence talent

#

medic lineup is fine, perfumer is a nice pickup early to cover the multi-target healing role

#

the modal units you have (carnelian and angelina) will be dead units most of the time, as in early chapters auto-attack dps does actually matter and neither unit is very good for that

#

okay, thank you very much

#

angelina will sometimes be nice to use though, because slowing enemies can be a very helpful thing

#

if you play through hortus de escapismo soon and get insider, pair him with kroos until you need splash damage from someone like shirayuki

#

oh

#

actually you could just keep using meteorite instead of shirayuki

#

tbh

#

that's totally fine too

MN is maria nearl, no?

spark sinew
#

what would be gramophones in that

lapis hornet
#

traps work either way

proud drift
#

good question

limpid siren
#

these four units aren't really worth more investment too

spark sinew
#

e1 1 frostleaf is fine

#

you might want to do that eventually anyway, but probably wouldn't bother investing much past that

#

i don't really grok base stuff

#

so i won't talk about it

proud drift
#

they do actually exist lmao

spark sinew
#

oh so literally exact same mechanic

#

i don't remember it at all...

lapis hornet
#

I remember that stage cause I was tryna some really geeky stuff lol

radiant plinth
#

this stage is pretty brute forcey

#

even with gramophone

limpid siren
