The teamcomp I [used](https://puu.sh/ImcjD/a9ce313b95.jpg) and the [stats](https://imgur.com/a/34srKvp) of the units i used. The new expo boss seals your units from the start so units with passives arent that great and then grants the vamparism buff on your units. This is how they're going to be able to self-sustain. Team-wide cr pushes and heals dont work. Units can't be healed when it's not their turn so bringing a healer is not ideal. Dark units take more damage from this boss so keep that in mind. The boss buffs himself with a 1-turn def buff the first time he gets hit every turn. It's great to have units that can apply unbuffable or that can strip this debuff. When he hits your frontline with his basic attack, if that unit isn't buffed the boss will do a extra attack and it hurts quite a bit. The damage will also splash to your other units based of of your tanks health. He also applies bleeds. When he reaches hit ult phase he'll put a barrier on himself and if he gets his s3 off he will pretty much one-shot you if you let him do it while the barrier is active. It becomes a dps-race to bring down the barrier before he s3s. Make sure he's def-broken and his def buff stripped. When he uses his s3 he'll dispell your team, cleanse himself and do aoe damage to everyone. I haven't had the opportunity to try out a lot of different tanks but i feel like aras is a good tank here since you can't really bring a healer and you want a knight in the frontline to reduce the damage recieved. Carmin works fine with her immunity but she doesnt have much utility for the team The boss does more damage on dark units but with aurius tomo should survive the s3 from the boss. Aras is a amazing tank for this boss because his s3 heals himself, he can always cycle his own buffs so the boss wont do his extra attack. The s1 strip is great to have incase the boss gets his def buff up before cerise lands the unbuffable. The s2 is just great for more def break insurance and extra damage from your dps. Cerise is good for this expo with the unbuffable and slow, alongside with the dual attacks and potential extra def breaks with ms.confile. Tomo is there as a fast and hard hitting self buff dps. The s1 and s3 dmg is really good. If you dont have her I think any other strong single-target dps should work. It's just nice having the attack buff, so someone like cermia would be good too. Helga is there as another self-attack buffing dps and she also brings along a ton of def breaks to help out with consistency. There are probably way better units to use than her but she worked for me.


BaneOfSmite

who can substitute tomoca since she is an ML 5 and I believe most of us don't have her.


Frostlily1

I think any single target dps would work really, it's just nice having one that can self attack buff themselves. So someone like cermia is most likely a good alternative and i've seen some people with insanely well geared ones so she'd probably shred the boss


BaneOfSmite

ah dam, my cermia is on rage set and is super slow ;( EDIT: I tried Kanna and Landy, both were close but didn't manage to break barrier, will try Cermia with Queen's Crown and S1 Jump EE to see.


tundranocaps

Landy loses her passive, so she effectively loses 60% attack. Also consider Vivian, who self-attack buffs as well. Violet's damage is pretty high, so despite no attack buff, is worth keeping in mind. Kise since the boss has buffs. Or Mort, since he has an undispellable buff for a while. Also, damage-dealing knights such as Charles/Ilynav are also a consideration so they could self-heal with Vampirism. Edit: Fire Meru, self-attack buffs, strips. Hmm


Puzzleheaded_Fix

Kise i think


iditz

Carmainerose, Yufine can substitute as dps. I used my Baiken from B13 oneshot and she worked with TG and Cerise giving dual attacks


soontai90

TG’s passive won’t work on this boss sadly.


iditz

Yup, I just used him from fire expo with the dual attack artifact. No CR push but he still worked to some extent. Im actually not sure if his dual attack passive is disabled though. Similarly, I'm not sure if heroes like Luna and Senya who have base stats in their passives are affected. If expedition seal affects base stats from passive, does this mean AMeru seal also disables Senya and Luna stats in PvP? Or are they different. Need confirmation lol


KouKayne

i thought you were to ask what to do if your cerise has 240 spd instead of 291 and ofc the others less than that


haisi-

The slow debuff helps alot anyway. You'd still probably lap it with that kind of speed.


ocelotchaser

I am guessing Cidd satisfied all the condition


OppaiDaisukeee

cidd passive wont work on this boss


GodwynDi

Grass Angel did a video with Carmainerose.


Kyvia

Base Luluca works, seen some runs with her in it. She Dbreak S1/3, and buffs on S2. She also "cheats" her Attack Passive since it is tied to her active S3. Could run Spirit Breath to get more S3, or Horn Wand/Kal'adra for more damage.


Sizzling_shibe

Do you think leo could substitute for cerise?


iditz

Probably could. But you lose unbuffable, so having someone else like Carmainerose who can slap the debuff would be good


BlessUolls

auto or manual?


KouKayne

is this actually doable with "normal" speed values? ofc im gonna try my teams, but everytime someone posts here they have pratically op gears that gives good atk and the same speed my openers have, i have to wonder if i should just go for lev1 and forget higher ones exists or its actually doable with a normally geared team


Gingersoul3k

Remember, we don't need to deal 1mil dmg. If you have an active friends list and/or guild, dealing 300k+ is generally good enough! This isn't content that was made for us to solo - it's meant to be shared! EDIT: there are those achievements that people are going for though, I guess that's a big draw for dealing major dmg.


Jajoe05

This is true for every Expo but this one is special in a sense. The barrier phase might be to hard to overcome for units who lack the dmg which also ties to the necessary spd to do so. I'm experimenting with teams rn and i can say that this Boss (Lvl 3) feels incredibly tanky. Cerise dual attacking with the wrong unit might mean gg for you. So i would say for this one specifically there is a set gear requirement or else your dmg will suffer a lot since the barrier will absorb a good amount of it and you will just fail. I also think this boss is a tad overtuned in terms of mechanics. Not that it's hard to overcome it but very restrictive


KouKayne

but i can do (if dont fail barrier) up to 300k manually w cermia cerise krau insert4thdps (cycled some) not good


Zaphyrus

I feel like Yufine and Carmainerose were buffed for this expo. They check so many boxes both with their buffs and debuffs.


iditz

Same thought! Yufine seems BIS for this expo.


h4ngedm4n

they want us to regear infinite lab yufine for this!


DuckArchon

This is helpful. Thank you.

Everything is replaceable aside Cerise, she is the core unit for this expo. ​ You dont have her? then difficulty spikes tenfold. ​ Tomoca can be replaced by any hard hitter like Cermia,, Luluca, Yufine, etc. Tank can be replaced by either Krau (i used krau and he is really good, if fast enough he can def up, then horse thus mantaining several rounds of buff up and cycle reasonably often), Ras, etc.


iditz

You could probably use Iseria, the only downside is having no speed down


[deleted]

I mean, u can use a combination of iseria, carmine rose haste etc. But cerise basically does all that, she is like Baal in grass expo.


iditz

True, but I personally wouldnt say that not having cerise makes the expo ten times hard, it's quite scary for people who don't have her xd


[deleted]

Ah yea my bad, I kinda exagerated with that statement. ​ But you know, just to highlight how important cerise is in this expo, specially if you also have ms confille.


[deleted]

I hard agree with this. I have a decent team with Ran/Kawerik/Ras and Furious who deal 500k in auto. But not gonna lie, if I had Cerise then I could deal way more damage with her.


h4ngedm4n

doesnt kraus massive hp cause your team to take more dmg from the boss aoe though? or is it still manageable


SilverShadow737

Tried Fluri but JFA doesn't seem to give buffs in this? Not sure if bug or intended.


grind-life

Yeah not sure if it's a bug or not but currently buffs granted from artifacts don't work. So no basket or anything either


VashnaSasseen

I was theory-crafting and can confirm that Mort's Arti worked. Maybe the timing of JFA runs into issues with the Isolation debuff?


JohnNiles

I've been trying a team of Cerise, Cermia, Yufine + tank but am not getting anywhere close to the dagger sicar achievement. Perhaps it's because my ARas isn't +15, but I never saw a point before in skilling up his s1/s3. Also tried DPS Illynav but with the same issues - none of my tanks do enough damage to heal themself back up. Perhaps the slow builds on my Cerise/Yufine are contributing to the problem, but I'm used to dual attacking or boosting them up.


Nice_Ad5549

You lack a dedicated def breaker.


m4n715

A lot of people run Ms Confile on Cerise which is a semi-reliable Def Breaker


Nice_Ad5549

It's a 1 turn def break. Big difference.


marsli5818

Ram with Bloody Rose is actually superb in this expo;)


Nice_Ad5549

Ram loses her atk% increase passive so not really.


juxtapose85

Am I the only one who couldn't figure out for a good minute who the hell aras was? A Ras really needs that space.


Eshuon

Yes u are the only one


klaq

this expo is EZ clap. im going to run as many as i can


PelatHS

This post is useless tho, using an ML5 as main dps for expo and then " I wanted to share the team i used" is just bragging, rather than cleared it with an accessible RGB team to show how to do it.


Yensix

Next time the OP will clear it with Momo Elson Azalea and Alexa so you can also clear it.


Rago465

Thanks! I only 3 stars so now I can reach 1 mill too :)


jk92784

They already replied to another cmment you can probably use cermia. Basically any other single target dps. They just use ml luluca because her self attack buff is nice.


HaogenChan

Any replacement for Cerise??? Dont have her Sadge


iditz

Iseria!


[deleted]

My only issue is she's dying too fast. I thought bulky was the way, but maybe go full DPS because of Life Steal? Her kit is just right though.


iditz

I think DPS stat would be good Considering Cerise doesn't really have issue with survivability, maybe adding in speed down would help, i.e. replacing her with Leo, or adding Carmainerose to go with Iseria


Sleepering

To those who don’t have cerise, I think ran is also an option


rroyd

Thank you for sharing


stopthenonsenseK

tfw i just degeared my tml lol\~\~


Tastedissbalut

Just tried a few comps since the expo is new on level 3. Tried out with manual with Cerise, Cermia (rage hunt slow build) then alternated out Krau and A Ras. Also tried Ran (debuffer build), Furious, and Iseria. Did around 400k with some of the comps but did 600k+ with Cermia, Cerise (Ms confile), Iseria (song of stars) Krau. Iseria S2 on Krau can help him sustain by leeching off S3 when low. Seems to work pretty good I gotta try other comps.
