#[Anchor: Innocent Maid] New Unit Megathread

#

So they are basically units who need full build otherwise don't use them

finite falcon

#

i want my mana resources back

rain topaz
#

I'm using my grave and Mari 7/7/7

zinc onyx
#

shit unit

hoary trench
#

Yeah, the sea maids died to code barrier QTE fail KEKS

finite falcon
#

I'll be curious to see how many Distributed Damage units we get in the next few months that synergize with Maids

hoary trench
#

Also felt like they bursted slower, normally Helm would burst right before the failed QTE nuked team

hoary trench
#

Instead nobody was bursting, and the one whose burst just ended was BS Scarlet's

#

Yeah, the rest did. Breakthroughs diff

zinc onyx
#

u have helm t in the middle?

#

i burst 0.5 sec before kraken hit his qte

hoary trench
#

No, BS Scarlet. Was Helm, BS Scarlet, Rapi for center three

#

I do that too (burst just before failed QTE nukes team) when it's Crown, Helm, BS Scarlet, Rapi, Noah

#

Lot faster burst gen

finite falcon
#

Because another legitimate issue is that while getting to 100% reload speed is fantastic, a lot of the Maid damage buffs are locked to Distributed Damage units (which are still pretty rare and usually don't make up most of a unit's damage anyway. SBS is just unique in that she's always churning out Distributed Damage from her basic attacks rather than only her burst)

royal berry
#

From Womb test about, Alice Sbs combined damage are almost the same, if Maids get copies this duo would deal more damage.
The difference is just the other 3 nikkes where Crown just core hit the range boss entire time where the Maids especially Mast would miss core more, Anchor looks to have no damage herself where HelmT does have, and Rapipi cant utilize Maids kit.
So whatever math before said here, look pretty solid

Code barrier QTE fail death

#

Don't mind these screenshots, pretty meaningless and idk why I shared them

clever cargo
#

Hey, so how good is the duo actually?

finite falcon
#

And the only remotely viable Distributed Damage units right now are basically Dorothy (who barely shows up in Solo Raids atm), Scarlet BS, and Escape Queen Quency

zinc onyx
#

the rest is pretty healthy

hoary trench
#

Duo looks pretty good

#

Just expensive as hell

#

This isn't one of those duos where you go 10/4/4 and get away with it

finite falcon
rain topaz
hoary trench
#

It's 10/10/10 or close deadge For both

rain topaz
#

Anyway shooting range boss sucks because permanent core

finite falcon
#

But you have to 10/10/10 both Maids, and since their ATK buffs are Caster ATK, they benefit a lot more from dupes than standard units

rain topaz
#

What if I wanna test different bosses?

finite falcon
#

compared to a support like Liter who only needs 1 copy and minimal investment to see value

coarse sonnet
#

do they need specific OL lines

karmic tinsel
rain topaz
finite falcon
clever cargo
#

You know, is funny how this 2 last banners are basically just Sbs support

finite falcon
#

their reload speed buffs take some time to stack up though, so you'd probably want at least Anchor to have a few Ammo lines for burst gen

rain topaz
#

Let's say, gears leveled, doll and consoles are important things for them

karmic tinsel
#

at the same time as Rapipi

clever cargo
#

Wasn't her damage originally a bug?

karmic tinsel
zinc onyx
#

small indie company

rain topaz
#

So, who else is leveling their maids?

hoary trench
#

That's what veteran competitive raiders simply wait for now to move around skill levels

rain topaz
#

Honestly skill reset shouldn't be the solution cmon

#

We need more books

hoary trench
#

It's not like we have 0 other invested characters and can't pay for sea maids' skills, it's that we have too many skill invested characters now KEKL

zinc onyx
clever cargo
#

Maybe we get over-overclock simulation room?

finite falcon
#

It's not, but bluntly skill books are kept as scarce as possible to keep people buying book packages

hoary trench
#

Some of it is my fault, like I invested a bit in Snow White skills a couple months ago...

karmic tinsel
hoary trench
finite falcon
#

30-day Supply Chests help a little bit if you have an awkward number of skill books / mats and you need to level things out

karmic tinsel
zinc onyx
#

need a bottleneck to milk players

finite falcon
#

but yeah, books will likely almost always be kept scarce

rain topaz
#

Nobody is surprised, this is a problem since day 1

hoary trench
#

I never checked those numbers

karmic tinsel
finite falcon
#

I've never done the arithmatic directly, so I can only speak to how it feels rather than how efficient it is

coarse sonnet
#

just 1 copy is good?

rain topaz
zinc onyx
#

u guys doing those discord sign in? it have some free books every week or so

hoary trench
finite falcon
#

but on the occasions where I HAVE gotten that 30-day supply check package, it's pretty convenient if you're say, low on a particular type of book and you just need 20-30 of a particular type to get that next skill level

hoary trench
#

Well, we'll see what happens in Solo Raid. Surely I would not be the only player screwed on sea maids skill mats. Others will be in the same boat (pun not intended)

karmic tinsel
hoary trench
#

That, I will have KEKL I'll even have Helm burst lvl10

#

If I decide I'd use her burst

rain topaz
#

One copy is enough, it's never recommended to pull more than 1 in permanent banners or for f2p people

coarse sonnet
hoary trench
#

I use it, haven't missed a single one since then

karmic tinsel
#

all jokes aside, the day campaign comes out is the day the game almost dies

#

because it's almost certainly when collab comes out at the same time

#

and also when mast but not anchor is added to the standard pool

hoary trench
#

??? They wouldn't do that, surely

gusty lily
#

Why not anchor too? lol

hoary trench
#

It'll be both added

karmic tinsel
#

that's why I went all in to get one copy of anchor

gusty lily
#

lol what is that logic

hoary trench
karmic tinsel
hoary trench
#

So I was expecting that

gusty lily
#

Where do you know

karmic tinsel
gusty lily
#

patch notes out already??

#

Sheesh

hoary trench
#

20 days on Maid Anchor confirmed

oak hound
#

patch notes where

karmic tinsel
hoary trench
#

So Feb 25 the banner will end

gusty lily
#

Oh that

hoary trench
#

When's the patch?

gusty lily
#

in 2 weeks as usual

karmic tinsel
heady condor
#

This event finishes in 2 weeks

karmic tinsel
#

at least for me in utc -5

hoary trench
#

... RIP, GG NO RE

rough wing
hoary trench
#

Well, maybe the patch at end of EVA collab will add her

#

Surely? TOMstare

heady condor
#

I wouldn't count on them being added until after Eva

#

Both mast and Anchor

#

Collab should bring Rapipi and Mana

rough wing
hoary trench
#

Wait

#

What if it's worse?

#

What if ShiftUp does us dirty and doesn't add anybody for EVA patch either

rough wing
heady condor
#

Then they can go get fucked

hoary trench
#

No Rapi Hood in pool for all the EVA banner pulls

oak hound
#

so what is she godly or shit

rough wing
#

i will fly to korea to have a word pepeh

karmic tinsel
#

It's like Rapipi doesn't exist

rain topaz
karmic tinsel
#

the most optimistic case: SU lied about the collab

#

we get a filler event + chapter 35/36

#

and a week to breathe before the collab starts

heady condor
#

Ooooor

#

We get 1 dead week

gusty lily
#

We got a dead week

heady condor
#

And collab starts the 26th

gusty lily
#

In the form of an extra week of hard mode

#

This maid shit should’ve been 2 weeks

oak hound
#

this kinda feels like anchor and mast are skips/bait/breathers for all but the sweatiest

rain topaz
gusty lily
#

They’re just whale bait

oak hound
#

neither are meta breaking or offer anything incredibly special

gusty lily
#

and will be quickly forgotten once Eva kits drop

oak hound
#

that's what I suspect also

karmic tinsel
#

what's to say eva 2 isn't bait for half anni 10 weeks after it starts?

oak hound
#

I think i'm gonna save my gems for eva 2 so I can get one copy each then save for half anni

rain topaz
#

We have 2 weeks or hard mode

gusty lily
#

What’s to say half anni isn’t bait for the anni that starts 6 months afterwards?

rain topaz
#

They are giving us a lot of core boxes

gusty lily
#

It’s so half cooked man

#

I can’t even

rain topaz
#

So what now?

#

SR starts in a few hours

oak hound
#

yuck

rain topaz
#

Normal people can't build them in time

hoary trench
oak hound
#

honestly i'm so sick of SR

#

I just one and done it for gems

rain topaz
karmic tinsel
royal berry
#

If u take away sr in mind and settle with 3%, its pretty chill no pressure on these units

karmic tinsel
#

but if you're going for top 0.5% or better? probably really tough

oak hound
#

barely a reason to get .5% or better other than showing people you can swipe harder than them

#

gemwise it's probably more efficient to just buy packs

karmic tinsel
#

I barely swipe, mostly just passes and gacha skin

royal berry
#

u can go for 0.5%, how much gem difference is that, prolly not enough to cover the scam cost of these banners kekw

oak hound
#

that's what i'm saying kekw

#

I'd understand swiping and whaling for a crown tier unit that changes the face of the main campaign team

#

but whaling skill books and rolls on maid mast/anchor so you can get top .5% on the valentine's solo raid? OMEGALUL

royal berry
#

that hurts bro dont say that

oak hound
#

sorry ScarletHeh

rain topaz
#

I'll try my classic top 200 without them

#

But lately I'm being pushed out of this top, maybe I'm becoming a bad player or maybe people are swiping and taking my places

karmic tinsel
#

it's not like they even do that much damage to mat h anyway

#

most of that is like xlud or quency or even phase 2/3 helm

rain topaz
#

If matH has permanent core xlud gonna be the mvp

hoary trench
#

As for leveling Drake skills or rolling OLs, I think I can get away with just 10/4/4 T9Ms if she's just going to buff SG team and not do much else. Idk if that's how it'll pan out for Drake, but I should be able to run something

#

So I'm not feeling any pressure there shrug I'm more of a "it's cool if I make top 3%" than trying for top 200

ashen wharf
#

She is very reliant on stat

#

U cant compare using shooting range

#

Yes it does drop over 50% damage

#

With level 200s

#

Lmao

#

Their atk is just 35000

#

Go think

#

As I said before release

#

The maids increase sbs damage

#

At the cost of team damage

#

And I said it would only make sense for wind weak

#

But when no core, theyre op

#

Maids will only pair with Rapipi or Alice at most or, less ideally, Electrics

royal berry
#

this effect is massive 👀 if indi comp has sth similar they can just outlive the blast at any stage

placid trellis
#

What makes them situational?

placid trellis
#

I guess they are unglued from SBS-Alice during wind?

royal berry
#

there are also the new Eva girls who're expected to be Wind element, so SBS maids + ? still remain to be seen

hoary trench
#

Funny if EVA girls bump the maids out of BS Scarlet team

rain topaz
obsidian nest
#

that's not what was said

#

the are particularly good in that situation

#

not that they aren't good when there is a core or when there isn't distributed dmg

glacial shore
#

The casters ATK you were getting is of the lvl200 units

#

Need to OL them for caster's then forget it

twilit vessel
#

Think we need ammo on anchor? For sometimes we run B3 non SR/RL

glacial shore
#

If Alice isn't in team then yes

#

For burst gen

#

But don't think that happens

twilit vessel
#

Well look like sbs benefit the most here pepe_swag

rain topaz
rain topaz
dry crater
ashen wharf
glacial shore
ashen wharf
#

they feel super clunky often

#
  • 0.5s reenter
#

sucks hell

#

they force slower rotations

#

imo that makes them weak

glacial shore
dry crater
rain topaz
#

So 10/10/10 otherwise rip bozo? CryThumbsUp

glacial shore
ashen wharf
#

I alr mentioned BEFORE RELEASE

#

10 10 10 material or brick

#

its as simple as that

#

no need for testing

glacial shore
#

The point was that they're the same level SadgeInTheRain

And now crown is freed

rain topaz
#

Then brick, bye

ashen wharf
#

all testings only confirm my hypothesis

rain topaz
royal berry
#

they are very close, just look at womb dps breakdown above

ashen wharf
#
  • Mast Anchor being the 2nd best pair even for core content because Tia Naga is clunky to use.
  • Mast Anchor has a lot of QoL benefits.
  • Mast Anchor needs 10/10/10 to compete.
rain topaz
#

Wait for Tia treasure

#

Becomes B1 not re enter

sacred sentinel
#

dudes
they KNOW

glacial shore
#

To powercreep this pair, it may take a while imo it is kinda strong Sadge

But knowing shiftup braindead brainrot meta fest, I can only hope it's very fast SadgeInTheRain

ashen wharf
#

u never believe me

#

smfh

#

my mental math is one of the best

sacred sentinel
#

10/10/10 for both
by the time they get truly powercrept

#

you can just reset

obsidian nest
#

it's fine if the main DPS is RH

#

but Alice has a hard time being a battery if there isn't a double hit in comparison

sacred sentinel
#

the itty bitty committee blessed me

twilit vessel
obsidian nest
#

also my results are extra skewed by my randomly getting 3 ATK on initial bind on both of them

glacial shore
#

For the tests ofc AliceLove

obsidian nest
#

tfw supports have more ATK lines than my RH and SW

ashen wharf
glacial shore
#

Wait your SW doesn't even have 3 atk?

obsidian nest
#

nope

#

hardstuck on 2

glacial shore
#

How the heck do you cook so hard on sw teams

glacial shore
#

That is insane

copper ingot
#

joke aside, Miranda phase 2 treasure probably helps you save 3h of grinding this one run from now on

#

nice

ashen wharf
glacial shore
#

Harder

#

Definitely

sacred sentinel
#

it finally happened
I ran out of skillII/burstII books

obsidian nest
#

Crit malding on yulha back in the day is harder

#

Bc you can actually ruin the run yourself really easily

#

Tove teams for the most part is just fighting tove stacks

ashen wharf
#

yeah Miranda is OP

obsidian nest
#

At least post soda

ashen wharf
#

the treasure Miranda

#

but I dont want to invest

#

in them

#

I didnt invest in Exia and I was bricked

#

this is less important than Exia anyway

hoary trench
sacred sentinel
#

recent must-roll shit killed my book stockpile
shitup learned how to make actual decent kits instead of 1.0-tier shit

obsidian nest
#

Pausing GD is better safe than sorry

hoary trench
#

Hopefully GD never comes back for over a year

obsidian nest
#

Imagine losing that run bc too lazy to pause and GD spazzs to some stupid direction and I miss QTE

rain topaz
#

Grave digger wind weak soon

hoary trench
#

Next year, consecutive boss battles. 6 minutes of fighting, two GDs back to back

twilit vessel
ashen wharf
#

and the momentum was new but to be expected

#

if u never chase MLB ure good forever

sacred sentinel
#

was talking about books, not rolls

#

rolls are actually generous if you're f2p
it's the books that you have to worry about

placid trellis
#

Chasing lb0 this year has reduced my stockpile by 40k, including the gems gained

#

I shouldn't have pulled Mana, and I got housing into pulling water maids although they only cost me 70 pulls overall

heady condor
#

maids only took 48 pulls thankfully, but I feel like the worst is yet to come for me

twilit vessel
#

Not only skill mat shortage. I don't even have material enough to upgrade OL+5 angrycat

sacred sentinel
#

shitty phase 2 helm vs moderate investment mast anchor on wind weak

polar ruin
#

how moderate is it

drifting current
#

well i mean i guess they do make elysion tower easier

sacred sentinel
drifting current
#

i pulled cuz they are cute

sacred sentinel
#

helm doesn't have ols and 1/4/1 deadge

#

I'm skipping eva II's raid because fuck that shit
my books are gone

#

so yeah like people said crownhelm gud

royal berry
#

They are pretty close

sacred sentinel
#

crown naga isn't that realistic in raids I think

#

my shartgun likes tianaga

twilit ruin
#

one more pair, and can ditch tia to put naga with crown forever

winged shore
#

can just run helm+ too with crown right

hoary trench
#

Helm+ is nice, I think I'm going to do the same for all treasure units

twilit ridge
#

Tia going to team 3 is so sad

#

when tia/naga went to the sg team you know is kind of over for them almost.

#

yeah lmao, they dont want to add core boss also

tough cove
#

So who burst first? Mast or Anchor?

glacial shore
#

It should be obvious but mast cuz she has higher atk buff

tough cove
#

I have been busy and having a headache make me want to shut off my brain...

#

well, I got the Macho from 50 pulls total.

hoary trench

Maid Anchor skill priority

There is a Normal Priority and an Infinite Ammo Reload Speed Priority (IARSP). Normal priority is suitable for all players. IARSP is only for highly competitive Alice maximizers who already know how to make very rapid shots on her.

Normal priority:

  • Minimum: 4/4/4
  • Recommended: 4/7/4
  • Max: 10/10/10

S2 > Burst > S1

Infinite ammo reload speed priority:

NOTE: For infinite ammo reload speed effect, where Alice instantly recovers ammo while firing, you need 108.85%+ reload speed. This is achieved with LV7+ resil cube and Maid Mast S2 level > Maid Anchor S2 level while adding up to 17+ levels.

  • Minimum: 4/4/4
  • Recommended: 4/8/4 (with Maid Mast S2 LV9+)
  • Max: 10/10/10

S2 > Burst > S1

mellow siren
#

does anchor need OLs? or can live without?

glacial shore
#

Just ol her

#

Don't

mellow siren
#

ahh

glacial shore
#

Reroll

hoary trench
#

I can't pin but if others do after OP or whoever agrees then sure

thorn cloak
#

Caster's atk, Just ol her, Don't Reroll

#

Pin this also

tough cove
#

Me spark doll with rate of 3.3%...

hoary trench
#

Idk since I don't have a LV7 S1 but the main offense buffing offered by it is +dist dmg

#

LV1->LV2 numbers

#

So possibly +4.14% dist dmg for LV7->LV10

#

Could be higher if they bias it to the back of skill leveling though

polar ruin
#

if you’re really on budget, focus on s2 on both mast and anchor

#

anchor s1 and burst is mostly healing

#

yes there’s caster atk buff in there too but the reload speed is on s2

hoary trench
#

And only helps BS Scarlet herself in the presumed best sea maids team comp, though she's the star of the team anyway

#

But if you're at 7/10/10 odds are you're going to be super tempted to go 10/10/10

polar ruin
#

you refreshed that?

#

bruhge

fervent bramble
#

i know a guy that have coop coin problem

#

most of units are already maxed

#

so i never need to buy those

hoary trench
#

Even if not maxed, I only occasionally buy those

#

Because, I think the bond rank attributes basically suck lol

fervent bramble
#

pil and abnormal mostly

magic kettle
#

S2 only needs to be 9 for infinite ammo as a note

#

for those wanting to save skill mats

#

Only take S2 to 10 if you're the type to take S Anis burst to 10 delugiggle

twilit vessel
#

So which B2 ded after these maid?

magic kettle
twilit ridge
#

grave no way lol

magic kettle
#

Mari is first in line if no core/pierce is uneffective

#

Bunnies if pierce is strong

dense plover
fervent bramble
#

bunnies are flexible, i dont think they're going anywhere anytime soon

magic kettle
#

For most players, agree

#

For top scores, not so much

#

Bunnies have already been dropping in use in SR

fervent bramble
#

because we only look at top 50

#

that's bound to happen

#

their ceiling is low

magic kettle
#

Mhm

#

People without Mari will also not stop using bunnies, period

fervent bramble
#

also, the introduction of dolls deal a big blow to healers in general, we see more and more no heal just tanking comp

#

a big part of bunnies is survivability

#

but now, dolls and cores do that for you already

magic kettle
#

Yup

fervent bramble
#

leaving them with mediocre dmg buff

#

though this is strictly top 200 talking

magic kettle
#

I'm definitely not saying that anyone reset bunnies or anything. kek

#

I don't even think seamaids are worthwhile for casual players; too expensive considering collab and half-anni approaching

#

so I advised using top score meta as reference for thought

fervent bramble
#

yeah

#

and these 2 bitches cost me 280 pulls for 1 copy each

#

definitely left a sour taste

r u gonna delete this messagE?

depend on mood

and bot

dry crater
#

@royal berry why cant I get infinite ammo

#

Alice's ammo still drop

tacit garnet
#

ammo still loses on 3rd FB?

polar ruin
#

mast reload speed need to be build up

dry crater
#

3rd burst

#

I know what Im doing

#

I checked and it's 38.24% + 38.82% rld spd

#

Plus 29% from cube

#

107% smth

#

Ammo still drop

hoary trench
#

ShiftUp teasing us with snap reload sadge

polar ruin
#

isn't the threshold 109-110%

brittle rover
polar ruin
#

i got infinite ammo on 4th burst

#

mast anchor mast anchor

#

with 10/10/10 loaner units

hoary trench
#

That's 33% of 12 or 13 full bursts, seems still really nice

#

There will still be the other 66%

polar ruin
#

4th burst onwards = infinite ammo

dry crater
#

107.35%

royal berry
#

Best Full auto Kraken comp on Anchor banner
Helm fills Anchor's Storage, big HP shield: https://fixvx.com/arcana0993/status/1887239876271386867
Mast instead of Crown also work according to the link, however, you need extra investment on mast for her to survive, similar investment you put on Anchor

hoary trench
#

Is that enough for infinite ammo? 107.35%?

polar ruin
#

pretty sure the threshold is 109-110%

hoary trench
#

Then what's sneakily giving you the extra 1.65%?

royal berry
#

its still dropping watching sky vid he said, but not significant?

polar ruin
#

it's shooting range test with 10/10/10 loaner units

#

with resil cube on alice

#

45.12 mast 40.04 anchor 29.69 resil
114.85% total

hoary trench
#

SSS tier Math defeats SS tier Math

polar ruin
#

so you need to reach 80-81% combined between mast 3 stacks and anchor

hoary trench
dense plover
#

What makes fire and wind weak diff? Grave?

hoary trench
#

Or maybe he missed a stack - 3 bursts = 2 stacks?

#

Needed 4 bursts?

royal berry
#

hayde said ancho s2 10, mast s2 8 teriDerp

hoary trench
#

If that's fine tuned perfect reload speed for infinite ammo, that'll save quite a few skill mats

#

For Maid Anchor S2 LV10 and Maid Mast S2 LV8

polar ruin
#

so only 4th FB and onwards is full reload speed

tacit garnet
#

threshold is 109%

#

I don't recall who starts the propaganda of 107% but it's a hoax

#

when you have lower than 109% reload speed but you still try to shoot to0 fast, you will end up with 1s dead time

royal berry

@hoary trench u can just put a small note about this potential breakpoint in both threads maybe hmm prevent unwanted book wasted

eh isnt it

  • 3 full burst: Gaining 109% reload speed? Cuz Mast is drunk every B1, not B2
polar ruin
#

anchor's s2 triggers after fb ends

tacit garnet
#

so by the time you reach 3rd FB, you have

#

oh

polar ruin
#

and need to stack 3 times for the reload speed buff

tacit garnet
#

damn, then it's all 3 FB without

#

Infinity

I would leave it at 4 but the heal sounds nice on papah

royal berry

10 8 this 9 9 that

hoary trench
royal berry
#

10/10/10 or go home

hoary trench
#

7/10/7 is easy yes and most impact, if rather get most bang and accept lower dmg output elsewhere from kits

#

Infinite ammo Alice is the biggest bang possible tbh

royal berry

Even if it takes 4 full bursts

what's reload cube lv 7?

this is lv 7 Anchor

lv 10 mast

hoary trench
#

Is it?

royal berry
tacit garnet
#

seems like we don't need to push anchor s2 to 10 either

brittle rover
#

is s2 lvl 9 on both essentially the same as s2 lvl 10 mast and lvl 8 anchor

hoary trench
#

Aha

royal berry
#

i know to use thi site to get the number at lv8 and lv9, but im brainfarted now i cant do math, actually i never do math

polar ruin
#

anchor s2 to 10 is for caster atk buff

hoary trench
#

LV8 + LV8 = infinite ammo Alice?

#

Editing

tacit garnet
#

both lv 8

polar ruin
#

not enough bro

hoary trench
#

Not editing TOMstare

royal berry
#

both lv9

polar ruin
tacit garnet
#

both lv 9 is my first recommend

brittle rover
#

what about mast lvl 9 and anchor lvl 8

polar ruin
tacit garnet
#

but somehow lv 10 Mast requires lv 7 Anchor

royal berry
#

see 9 + 9 = 18 , 10 + 8 = 18
thr golden 18

tacit garnet
#

scaling is fun

polar ruin
#

the scaling on mast is higher

#

coz x3

tacit garnet
royal berry
brittle rover
#

10+7 is cheaper DoroThink

#

is it also better in terms of buffs or nah

#

compared to 9+9

tacit garnet
#

10 + 7 or 9 + 8

#

9 Mast 8 Anchor

hoary trench
polar ruin
#

for sbs, mast level 10 is better (+distribute damage)
for everyone else, anchor level 10 is better (caster atk buff)

tacit garnet
#

the perfect number is

#

17

#

10 + 7 or 9 + 8

#

but must priotize Mast > Anchor

hoary trench
#

Aha

tacit garnet
#

so, no 7 Mast 10 Anchor lol

royal berry
#

the squeeeeze

tacit garnet
#

yes

hoary trench
#

Oookay... the math squeeze is big, that's a lot of savings

polar ruin
#

just reload speed

tacit garnet
#

they want Tempura

brittle rover
tacit garnet
polar ruin
#

mast goes brrrr

#

anchor goes brrrr

brittle rover
#

since cost-wise they're basically the same

hoary trench
#

Editing to follow what Anyone said

tacit garnet
#

you don't

polar ruin
#

you can't

tacit garnet
#

just tank it

#

delay phase 2 as long as possible

royal berry
#

dont just listen to anyone on the internet cmonBruh

tacit garnet
#

listen to me

#

I'm anyone

polar ruin
#

crown helm

tacit garnet
#

Macho

polar ruin
#

i mean really

#

if you really wanna minmax kraken sure go try it

tacit garnet
#

dew it

polar ruin
#

maybe that +75% distribution damage on sbs is crazypants good

#

but you'd be lacking helm's burst gen and crown's offensive buffs in exchange

tacit garnet
#

just gen with infinite alisu

polar ruin
#

not fast enough Bruh_2

royal berry
#

anchor > mast standalone for auto kraken with helmT, big juicy shield

tacit garnet
#

you will lack the shield

#

so expect to eat a lot of dmg

royal berry
#

wym

polar ruin
#

in that vid, it didn't even use up the storage overheal first

royal berry
#

shiet keep healing

polar ruin
#

that's kinda bad

#

???

#

you can just.. slot them back in before you do campaign?

hoary trench
#

@royal berry @tacit garnet I finished editing, I hope for the last time TOMstare I simplified the recommendations to match and eliminate confusion

polar ruin
hoary trench
#

And removed the "Imo" because it's no longer my own numbers

royal berry
#

idk i dumb it down to my profound ape sentence

hoary trench
#

Edited it

#

I was secretly thinking I should've considered Discord literacy levels the first time around TOMstare

#

Shortened the note a bit

#

I think most will understand the > sign

tacit garnet
#

now p3 her

royal berry
#

helmT s1 is competing with maids for skill books

tacit garnet
#

S1 is okay at lv 7 8

#

S2 is bigger issue

hoary trench
#

Thanks for helping me correct my initially misinformation post about skill priorities, it now looks better and like a professional wrote it TOMstare

Also, big savings on skill mats if you run the minimum skills.

Sorry about anyone who already jumped at the initial information pepehmmm

tacit garnet
#

10/10/10 units x6

#

don't sorry me

#

I'm rich

hoary trench
royal berry
#

broke on skill books cant jump on any recomendation anyway

tacit garnet
#

time to change my name into Nobody

hoary trench
#

I hate nobody and fear nothing

brittle rover
#

full auto all water units relevant skills lvl 7 (except anchor s1 lvl 6)

#

helm gen so fast I squeezed in an entire extra sbs burst

tacit garnet
#

in shooting range, use Naga

polar ruin
#

poor sod missed out the dress helm skin

brittle rover
#

maids also had benefit that sbs gets carrot when off-burst

#

so that team actually had a bit of an advantage

tacit garnet
#

3 atk 4 ele

brittle rover
#

naga looking to be pretty close to helm actually, 2mil halfway

tacit garnet
#

can't relate

brittle rover
#

wahahaha auto hurts alice way too much

#

and gen speed too

#

I think helm team got a full 10 sec extra sbs and 3 sec extra alice

#

eh sbs still did more with helm

#

unless sbs also misses core a lot in auto

polar ruin
#

most of sbs' damage comes from s1

#

which doesn't care about core

brittle rover
#

that's 7/7/4 helm and 10/10/7 naga

hoary trench
#

Edited the skill priority pins again, now the recommendation prefers saving mats

brittle rover
#

maids did worse than crown priv eula_bruh

royal berry
#

Thats not how you should act here

#

You suppose to glaze new unit

brittle rover
#

well sbs did more dmg, so if manual and better invested maids prob win

#

also prob if I don't use rapipi there

#

kinda happy I got lazy and didn't hunt for 4th atk on rapipi

#

she doesn't steal carrot if no crown

brittle rover
#

oh god

#

rapipi steals carrot again if I max advise her

#

shit

#

altho sbs is SR10 and rapipi is SR12

#

so maybe I could tweak it with dolls

#

or just don't care about it

#

realistically are we ever gonna run rapipi with bscar alice in same team for raids

hoary trench
royal berry
#

where are these initial lines on my dps

fervent bramble
#

i only know recently that the first time OL will always give lv11 lines

#

if you lucksack on 3 lines that's a lot of cp padding

brittle rover
#

meanwhile me:

fervent bramble
#

def instead of hit rate for me

#

first line too

brittle rover
#

at least def is usable for pvp

faint kestrel
#

So you have to manual and have them ultra invested for them to be as good as it was thought ?

tacit garnet
#

manual who

royal berry
#

they cost the same amount of skill book you put on crown-helm, arguably cost less in term of rocks cuz HelmT needs some good lines for more damage.
but then the only downside is they are not as universal as crown-helmt

#

they 2 banners aim for Raid players to optimize their score

hoary trench
#

Elysion Tower dominance though NeonHeh

fervent bramble
#

dwife anchor mast rapipi flex b3

#

elysion tower sound insane rn

hoary trench
#

Ingrid; How do you like them tactics?

tacit garnet
#

better than Tetra

fervent bramble
#

nah

tacit garnet
#

they are still with Arisu

fervent bramble
#

Misillis eat the dirt now

twilit ruin
#

Misillis went from the comfiest tower team to the bottom of the 4? BlancStare

brittle rover
#

full manual wind-weak, water units skills at 7, except anchor s1 at 6

#

core hit rate I'd say is around 75%, couldn't stay on target all the time

#

kinda sucky with alice

#

also it feels like inf ammo isn't that important

#

I lose maybe 1 alice shot worth with my current s2 lvl 7s maid team

tacit garnet
#

cuz you are on auto

brittle rover
#

I'm manualing

#

I didn't do the unsync cursor thing that sweats do

tacit garnet
#

if you manual Alice, then infinite ammo vs non infinite is 1s delay EVERY reload

#

so if your Alice has low ammo too = rip

brittle rover
#

my maid team reload is very fast at 7+7, I lose maybe 1 shot, max 2

tacit garnet
#

cuz this is 105% reload fast

#

mine has 24 ammo so I only lose 1s reload over 10s fb

#

if you have lower ammo and reload 2 times, that's 20% dmg loss

brittle rover
#

I have 3x tier 11 iirc

tacit garnet
#

then 1s

#

aka 10%

#

the only time you have 0 down time is when you have 40 ~ 44 ammo alice during FB

#

impossible lol

brittle rover
#

the reload is definitely not 1 second

#

I barely see the bar, lemme check again

faint kestrel
#

I'll probably have to ask for raid teams from now on but I just can't justify such specific units lol

#

Not like I have so many gems anyways I would.have to luck out on one and mileage the other one

brittle rover
#

it's nearly instant

#

I see a frame of the reload bar at halfway

hoary trench
#

Hmm

#

The main difference is with infinite ammo shooting, Alice can keep spamming shots endlessly unless the reload speed buffs drop

fervent bramble
hoary trench
#

But if you’re okay with these small hiccups to reload very quickly, then that can be cheaper on skill mats

#

I don’t want to rewrite the skill priorities again though, I’ll just assume infinite ammo Alice is something most players want

#

There’s a raid skills cheatsheet already out with both sea maids and it has traditional skill numbers

#

Like 4/7/4 for Maid Anchor and 7/7/7 for Maid Mast

brittle rover
#

I lose like what, 2 shots total with 2 reloads?

#

although it did take the 4th burst to get that fast

hoary trench
#

That’s very instant, hmm

#

4th burst is expected to be needed

#

Fine

#

In light of this video I updated the skill priorities again. Two sections, normal and infinite ammo reload speed priorities

brittle rover
glacial shore
#

How is wind 50/50??

#

Wind is like a 100/0

brittle rover
#

tbh for auto alice or slow alice players, I don't think there's actually gonna be a diff

#

since they can't even get a shot off during that split second reload

glacial shore
#

I'm pretty confident that for wind it's maid duo for SBS, no questions asked

brittle rover
#

for giga mald, bigger diff

glacial shore
#

Cuz it maximises SBS damage

#

Fire and electric I agree can be problematic

brittle rover
#

Doro if they can beat bunnies in almost any content then they ain't leaving

#

can they beat bunnies when using ammo-hungry dps tho, I feel like with the reload they still can

tacit garnet
dense plover
#

100% reload is infinitely better than whatever amount of ammo noir gives

tacit garnet
#

what's your total reload speed?

brittle rover
#

alice max reload cube + both maids lvl 7

tacit garnet
#

use this tool to count every frame (or just jump to 250 and 282)

brittle rover
#

I should be at 103.14% reload speed

#

idk if there's any rounding

tacit garnet
#

yeah, but at 105% reload speed it will be longer

brittle rover
#

I reload slower at 105%?

tacit garnet
#

as shown from my record

#

the rule is very simple

  • The frame when you shoot your last bullet
  • The frame when you shoot first bullet of the new mag
hoary trench
#

Reconciled the skill priority with the raid skill investments guide I saw. I now quit doroangry

brittle rover
#

does this mat h have perm core btw

#

did anyone stall through the boss yet to find out

tacit garnet
#

iirc, the reload goes like

#

0 => 100%: Highest to lowest

#

100% => 108.99%: Lowest to highest (may be)
109% => 0

brittle rover
glacial shore
#

Maids are better for sbs

#

Hence SBS gets maid duo

#

Total team damage sure but not SBS damage I'm pretty sure think

gusty lily
#

isn’t total team damage the point TiaStare

#

Why bother only boosting sbs if the whole team damage suffers NagaStare

#

Unless your cracked boosted sbs can overcome the whole team dmg that was lost

glacial shore
glacial shore
#

It's wind weak raid

gusty lily
#

I guess if you’re aiming for top 200 this hyperinvested forced duo makes sense

#

3% cope plebs like me can live without em

glacial shore
#

If you want 3% this duo isn't even necessary to pull Doro

gusty lily
#

That’s what I’m talking about TiaStare NagaStare

#

In a world without collab

#

I’d have goon pulled anchor to mlb

#

But sadge we don’t live in such a world

My sbs did 2.6 with crown helm and 2.2 with maids

wintry isle
#

Prygwen said macha good so I believe time , time to build helm

brittle rover
#

Although maids do get better relative to helm when maxed, idk if that's enough

#

My question is who to pair with crown helm instead

#

My water dps are mid, and don't wanna have too much water on a team due to needing water on others

#

Cindy or rapipi maybe?

wintry isle
#

Quency Escape queen

brittle rover
#

My quency kinda sucks...

#

Also might need water elsewhere

#

Helm, maids, doro?, xlud,

#

Who else DoroThink

#

Priv would be on doro probably

#

Quency for 5th?

#

Not building xguillo or phantom

#

Leona seems cope, but maybe

#

Oh right tove

#

Ig I could pair crown with quency, she needs the gen too

wintry isle
#

Quency and maids cooking

What now, what?

snow fractal
#

Just tested the maids myself, I found both 7 on their S2 is enough reload speed to be virtually infinite ammo for my boomer hands on Alice kekw

#

There’s a slight hiccup but not bad at all

magic kettle
#

They're job is essentially to lessen/eliminate DPS loss from moving SBS from Crown, allowing Crown to have freedom to support the feature element

#

They won't bully Crown out of practically any other part of the game delugiggle

#

Basically you get an SBS-limited Crown for the cost of two Crowns

polar ruin
#

now we can go b1 cdr/crown/rapipi/b3/off burst thelm as t1 team
and then macho/alice/sbs/b1 cdr that matches required element qte clear as t2-t3

i need answers

royal berry
#

SR is to sell banner nikkes so the maids are definitely good this SR, its just matter of how good.
A rapi owner would have more edge than non-rapi owner in rapi tailored SR
But a Quency owner wouldnt have rhat much edge comparing to quencyless

try to tank phase 2 shock wave after QTE

#

nvm

copper ingot
#

5/9/6 mast + 4/8/4 anchor vs other teams. 1/4/4 volume btw

#

my 2 cents either asuka pirata or rei alternativa is going to be a dist dmg unit like sbs

copper ingot
#

the pattern is there

#

for the rest you just need to believe(huff some copium)

Guys rem is a ded unit

Great dmg too

#

Hi, just to confirm something, is there any use for mana now? At least to auto S7 kraken?

#

Or pulling her was a waste of gems?

heady condor
#

Kraken S7 on mobile hasn't been easier since she was introduced. To be able to do the full auto S7 kraken you need some beefy SR15 units

ashen wharf
ashen wharf
#

my Alice at core 2 tanked tho

#

I guess you need core 1/2 on pilgrims

zinc onyx
#

rhh is going to need more than that

#

or def lines on ol

royal berry
#

Lots of full auto options now, most require specific investment, but have to swap cube and get def lines are big no no

#

Just manual abit for qte and call it a day

zinc onyx
#

the one with crown noah doesnt need cube swaps

#

maids one also no need

#

tbh more cores mean less requirement

wintry isle
#

So maids are strong but for poor f2p it's better to invest into helm treasure and crown
And naga still the best for campaign

royal berry
#

Yep

vestal junco
#

like b1 rapi and crown

#

if you’re not using rh/alice you’ll have no burst gen

royal berry
#

he leveled it the wrong way kekw

#

actually a good vid for maids

frosty bramble
#

it's not wrong

royal berry
#

its "wrong" in a sense of the order we put here, have he went the other way he wouldnt get that pseudo, but he has his reason i guess

#

its not that serious though, cuz most people wont be able to achieve that fast click to get all the reload speed anyway

hoary trench
#

At least this game is forgiving, we don't need perfect characters and perfect gaming

#

That and we're now in total overkill mode for campaign, the Raptures have no chance KEKS

#

Liliweiss banner is going to come out and there'll be nothing left to kill for Liliweiss

rain topaz
wintry isle
#

Campaign hard

rain topaz
#

Expensive duo

#

Bunnies and tiga wasn't that expensive

wintry isle
#

And they were usable in the campaign

#

Or technically still are

hoary trench
#

Naga tends toward 7/7/7 and 10/10/10, just like MMast, so I think similar in cost.

#

Tia on the other hand is 7/4/4 on the cheap or 10/4/4... MAnchor is 4/7/4 on the cheap and doesn't need more if you focus on MMast

#

So I wonder if the expense is just in our heads

#

I guess the fact Tia and Naga doesn't really need OLs

#

While MMast and MManchor would like it for caster's atk buffing from raw gear leveling (if the slot has atk, RIP boots)

#

But I feel like that's got to be pretty small gains in atk?

foggy juniper
hoary trench
#

This also means that by default all players with omni-10 skills on MMast and MAnchor already enjoy this effect

glacial shore
#

I think 777 anchor is fine

#

I don't think it's worth it to push anchor burst to 10

#

For 30% atk

#

And that too casters atk

#

That's 25%, actually lower cuz lower dupes in her

tacit garnet

tacit garnet
#

What costs more books?

#

10+7 or 9+8

glacial shore
#

Except that mast's S2 is actually worth

#

Oh wait it's just distributed damage think

#

I thought it had atk buff as well

#

RatChoke Damn man these 2 units are expensive

rain topaz
#

You really want 10 all on mast

ashen wharf
#

There is a numerical backup for this

#

Level 9 is cheaper than 8 and 10

#

In terms of blue books

#

But prolly u get fucked on gold mats anyways

#

So im resetting Grave soon

hoary trench
#

I went from despairing that I wouldn't have enough to omni-10 both MMast and MMAnchor, to being happy that I can make do with much less than I thought

#

Skill book savings DrakeDance

royal berry
#

ok listen

#

just 10 10 both

#

dont worry about book

wicked shard
#

so, how to level their skill 2 ?
10-7 ? 9-8 ?

hoary trench
#

9-8 for the most skill book savings

#

Or if you're definitely 10/10/10ing MMast, just leave MAnchor at 4/7/4, maybe 7/7/4

#

One reason for preferring MMast is when you burst BScarlet, it'll be with MMast's burst from B2, and not MAnchor's

#

MAnchor is helping BS Scarlet's burst with:

  • Allowing MMast to keep 3 stacks of Drunken
  • MAnchor S1 activating on any Full Burst
  • MAnchor S2 activating "after Full Burst ends".

Alice only gets mostly S2 reload speed and a bunch of weak caster’s ATK based on 0LB MAnchor deadge

These crumbs Alice gets is likely why I saw raid skill investment recommend the unexpectedly cheap 4/7/4 MAnchor. I copied it

Hello! What OL for anchor?

polar ruin
#

doesn’t really matter. ele atk ammo all good. charge speed if you want some pvp spice.

#

crits have potential because mast buffs crit rate.

#

but it’s all reaching

magic kettle
#

Just use 4 rocks on them for OL then spend the rest on SBS kek

#

Fine-tuning anything other than ammo on them is not a great idea

#

(or save rocks for the inevitable wind meta NGE units)

tough cove
#

Hmm, so what is a macho SBS comp for Kraken AI?

#

Rapipi/Mast/Anchor/SBS/SSAkura?

zinc onyx
#

Can replace ssakura with alice

#

Not mana coz of buff steal

spiral verge
#

What's the skill priority between both Anchor and Mast if you're limited by skill mats?

magic kettle
tough cove
#

I mean AFK wise, you don't hit core anyway

magic kettle
#

Yes, afk-wise

tough cove
#

ain't macho better for non-core?

magic kettle
#

What does core have to do with Crown?

#

Anchor/Crown > Mast/Anchor

#

Mast/Anchor is for SR where Crown will be in another team

#

Anchor doesn't need Mast KEKL

wintry isle
#

Don't tell me anchor/helm treasure actually better than anchor/mast

polar ruin
#

they're different buffs. for purpose of multiple team setup like UR or SR, you don't have to make them fight for each other

#

and if you run anchor/helm, who's gonna be the other b2

tough cove
#

Wait, you can cuck... pair Anchor with Crown?!

polar ruin
#

crown? ofc crown/anchor/helm will be way better than mast/anchor

#

crown is so good, you can just use her to cuck everyone

#

she already cucked tia

magic kettle
#

Anchor has no reliance on Mast, and Crown gives better reload speed

#

Only B2 that stands a chance against Crown is Grave vs fire-weak KEKL

polar ruin
#

grave can give crown some serious competition if the content doesn't require crown's defensive capabilities, doesn't matter what element
that burst fill is already so good.

tough cove
#

Hmm, interesting.

polar ruin
#

and in fire weak, i actually think grave is not even that good since all fire dps wants that reload speed.

magic kettle
#

Just get more ammo rolls

#

Grave deals too much personal damage for Crown to win out

zinc onyx
#

U can maybe also try anchor/crown/sbs/alice/rhh but u will have very slow gen burst then rockets will snipe

#

Tbh fk the maids best is still prob crown/sbs/helmt/rhh/noah

wintry isle
#

Where the heck did noah come from

tacit garnet
#

Eden?

wintry isle
#

Sakura summer, naga, mana and now all of sudden noah is best flex?

royal berry
#

Anchor looks better, synergy with HelmT and perma hp shield

#

U will eventually x/x/10 anchor and that shield is juicy, reduce damage reduction requirements from dolls alot

tough cove
#

We cook Kraken NihilisterEvilLaugh

zinc onyx

#

Noah also provides DR for team iirc

Yea thats why noah was the initial pick for cheese

And this hp shield last 25s, basically shield entire game, almost 50% more hp for everyone

should i pull?

Pull if competitive raider (both UR and SR)

Skip if casual player
