#[Sakura: Bloom In Summer] New Unit Megathread
lapis bane

I say sorta because it’s seasonal limited 
That you can’t even luckpull in the offseason
strong peak
ofc. but dorothy is also a pilgrim rate and my point is for new players, any non pilgrim option is pretty good
lapis bane
Rosanna has part dmg buff too
and better because it multiplies itself with dmg increased debuff

He didn’t even use Summer Rosanna
strong peak
yeah 60 pulls no summer rosanna but got crown 
inland pecan
Oh nvm, this isn’t relevant. I mentally swapped S.Rosanna and S.Sakura buffs. T-Rix reminded me that S.Rosanna is the one with parts dmg buff 
inland pecan
Does this just mean S.Sakura has insane scaling 💀 Wouldn’t MCB be a lot better than MLB then?
RIP
lapis bane
roll her
roll it in the deep
Sakura the opener of DoT meta
we Destiny Child now
inland pecan
56% atk OLs S.Sakura with 116% elemental damage. Will she outdmg everyone in some fights?
lapis bane
nope
inland pecan
… even Crystal Chamber keeps respawning pillars
inland pecan
Oh
modern dagger
Against wind weak she'll likely make the top 5 teams
inland pecan
How kind of ShiftUp to balance it
modern dagger
But outside that is questionable
lapis bane
unless electric
else you can run her everywhere
she's the better Scarlet
sound insane
inland pecan
How’s her wave clear in practice, struggles right? Because limited # of targets?
modern dagger
How good is she if you don't use her burst and just rely on S1 and S2?
inland pecan
A lot weaker
She’s similar to 2B in that her burst carries a lot of the dmg she deals
Her burst’s Final Attack hit does hit 10 times, and the DoT in it also does stack per hit, it adds up to like 8k% of final attack dmg dealt for bursting
8,000%+ final attack dmg
weak ether
How’s her wave clear in practice, struggles right? Because limited # of targets?
I was coping it could be like sanis rocket, turns out not even that decent in the aoe case
inland pecan
If anything, the DoT part is keeping her from being pure insanity because it can’t crit in one blow
lapis bane
How good is she if you don't use her burst and just rely on S1 and S2?
in that case, you should use Scarlet
modern dagger
placid cedar
How good is she if you don't use her burst and just rely on S1 and S2?
at that point I'd use fucking Harran But i dont have Harran so i wouldnt
balmy shale
S Sakura indeed scales heavily on dupes
Did coop with union and got over double damage with my C7 SSaku over union mate with MLB 
balmy shale
Only one roll more 
modern dagger
Yeah. We ran Liter/Crown/SSaku x2/Naga
Imagine being Naga in that team.
Not even allowed to participate in QTE because shotgun 
Just hold in vague direction of boss and that's it.
balmy shale
We had people dual wielding two accounts at times, so that was preferable 
Time zones are hard
Ah wait, just double checked, but his SSaku was actually 4/7/7 vs my 7/10/10. That's the reason for the diff 
balmy shale
woeful totem
balmy shale
Rosanna's burst is universally good, so I don't see resetting her
I'm not resetting Sakura, as she'll be extremely helpful for me in UR
valid glen
bunnies + sg then you have one free slot
modern dagger
If they're not electric just take Rosanna and SHelm
Or Rosanna and Dolla
Not like either B2 CDR has a good burst
Also if healing isn't necessary pretty sure Rosanna & Modernia/Maxwell/etc outperforms Blanc & Noir
modern dagger
Still something to consider before resetting
balmy shale
GD didn't need healing
modern dagger
Imo we're gonna see bunnies get dropped soon, until Rouge gets added
Sakura will reappear every wind weak raid
placid cedar
Id reset you if I could
modern dagger
Rem huh, I don't want to reset her but until more RL B3 are added might have to
Yeah I don't think I used her at all last raid
I at least used Emilia
I use Emilia pretty frequently, she deals good damage and has good burst gen
And she doesn't need to burst herself either, so she's an easy filler for an empty slot 5
Very flexible unit I can put wherever basically
Just needs to be a team that gives her ATK

How is that FREE train clear. Idk stumbled across this old post.
Thats not free at all.
And Naga is only used to speed up Crown stacks
At this point Crown and Naga carries it
balmy shale
I can do a much faster clear with Sakura That comp is bad
obsidian stag
At this point Crown and Naga carries it
Yea, even with how my crown and naga are built, it's basically a free train 
placid cedar
SBS D Sakura SSakura Srosanna surely

brother, this is from the perspective of a new player who couldn't clear train before. way too many out of touch veterans thinking new players have access to a full roster with meta pilgrim dps units, OL gear, and high skill investments. of course they can clear train faster. this was a showcase of having lvl 4 skills, not having OL gear or meta dps units and still being able to clear it despite guides telling you to wait months to get the right t9m or units.
i love how everyone's immediate reaction was to flex on how they could clear it faster lmao
shrewd jewel
Having crown already is free train
Ngl
Surely they can out DMG my crown and liter, can prob repeat this with volume
I'm pretty sure a rh 555 in t8 gear can also dps check train just b1>b3 on 21:9 resolution
Invuln turrets r op
strong peak
https://youtu.be/-DMu26gJfL0?si=Tz4BrljKyWqlQM9i
i watched zxous do the same thing and he purposely didn't show his liter and crown gear + skills. obviously did not work for me lmao
shrewd jewel
ya cuz ur supposed to bring 3 dps
crown invuls the turrets for u
having 3 dps surely makes up the difference right
most of the train issues ive seen comes from playing portrait on phone
and thats just 
strong peak
having 3 dps surely makes up the difference right
again what is this even proving? your crown literally does 30m dmg because of ol gear + skills leveled and prob a lvl 10 cube too. mine does way less
shrewd jewel
time difference + do u think 3 dps = 30m dps over that time?
in comparison
theyre literally r nikkes with 111 skills
replace them
theyre there for dead weight
strong peak
my other dps that are invested are maxwell/privaty/noir. i tried using them before i even had naga and they struggled with dpsing the turrets in time
shrewd jewel
u time the crown stacks to invul the double turrets for u
theyre shooting my face cuz low dmg
taunt+invul is really really strong
doing that aleviates alot of dps issues
but yea overall ur comp actually had more damage than mine, 2:15 clear time vs 1:44
23% faster 104s vs 135s cuz total possible damage ends when it dies

Trust me, I regularly make new accounts and run them to perform various testing. I actuallly have a new account specifically for the purpose of seeing how Sakura feels for a new player 
As others said, having Crown + Naga in there makes free train even without Sakura 
Maxwell is just as likely to be obtained as Laplace, and she'd make the clear faster due to ability to buff Sakura, while Laplace is entirely selfish
Just swap those two and the train is even easier
My point is that, unless the clear is N102/Anis/S Sakura/Rapi/Mihara or similar, you can't call it "free train"
shrewd jewel
Crown is mega busted even without naga for train
balmy shale
As a veteran, I'm sick of people calling bosses "free" while using a comp with meta units
shrewd jewel
Cuz of the invul
It does require more work to get it timed without gear tho
But once u do 
shrewd jewel
Isn't that yolo raid
balmy shale
Yeah, was more joke than anything 
But yeah, the account I started at the beginning of summer event doesn't have Crown, and train is definitely not free with S Sakura alone
I still have to dance with Noise

Ngl every time I play on a new acc I get surprised by how much DMG they can do

Who would you bring if there was an Overclock rule that said, “you can only bring two SSRs”?
(just assume it’d also nerf the enemies in compensation)
balmy shale
Crown and best DPS of that element 
(assuming elemental restriction still exists)
inland pecan
Never leave your Crown at home

Crown and RH is the only option.
Then you can at least RH->Crown->RH and it's like there was never a restriction

Nah, last overclock proved RH wasn't always useful
Bosses immune to iron render her pointless
S Anis/Scarlet were necessary
deep canyon
Bosses immune to iron render her pointless
that apply to everyone
balmy shale
Not to supports
Sure Crown's personal damage is actually pretty good, but that's not why she's used
Shielding, healing, buffing, etc. doesn't care about the element usually

sr train 👶
si train 👿
balmy shale
Both are hard if you lack good unit investment 
Good luck clearing Stage VII if you can't clear SI
balmy beacon
sure but one of them doesn't 1 shot you on sight if you're just a bit lower side on dps
inland pecan
Rearmed: Alteisen the Ruiner of Dreams, Destroyer of Hope
- With x4 the missile launchers and gun turrets
- With 2 layers of hit count shields on entire train
- 69,6969 hits to break one layer
balmy shale
then let me ask this way, do you prefer if sr had the si train instead
Yes actually
Train SR was the most boring SR we had
Only was neat cuz Alexander
inland pecan
Alexander was the fix we needed but they keep the old ones rather than replace 💀

i started playing Ssakura finally, for the AI Kraken bot and i am trying to optimize the play.
Does Full Glory (S2) activates on it's own every 30 seconds under all circumstances?
