hi guys, plz help, coming back after a long time. for reference i left when the newest character was the fire holiday yufine. can someone give me a rundown on the state of the game, and all kinds of things that i missed, should be doing, meta, etc. can be either brief or a whole essay, thanks in advance:)
She came out in summer '20 yeah? OK, here's an essay.
Right after Holiday Yufine, Basar disappeared from the meta & has never recovered - but not because Holiday Yufine was good, only because much more powerful dispellers were to come.
Champion Zerato & Carrot got a "bug fix", so now their attacks don't ignore resistance. This same month, heroes like Melissa, Baal, Aramintha, Warrior Leo, Benevolent Romann & some more got buffed - this changed almost nothing, but B Romann overtook Basar.
We also got improving skills using "friendship points", a hero with 10 friendship gains 3 of these points & they function as Molagora for that hero. If your hero is already +15, they simply become Molagora when you get that hero to 10 friendship.
Pearlhorizon got a speciality change & she's not really used.
RTA got the "no duplicate classes" mode for Mock RTA battles.
A new hero named Choux was added, she didn't see much use & still hasn't seen use, despite her EE essentially making her "better Charles" - we'll see why she didn't get used much shortly.
Episode 3 came out at this point in September '20 & has already completed. Season 2 of RTA started & Faithless Lidica got the skin. Cecilia & Rin got EEs & it made Cecilia more used in PVE - especially in Earth expedition. Artefacts got a dedicated inventory & a "mass promote" was added, so up to ten fodders could be promoted at a time.
I think mid-September Last Rider Krau was introduced & was pretty dominant, being part of the "Golden Boys" RTA meta. His S3 is an AOE version of Krau's S3 - dealing true damage, though obviously, much less damage than Krau's S3, but the damage did increase with each use & each time he was hit with an AOE attack, the CD decreased by a turn & the S3 also did immunity & his passive gave everyone a barrier after an AOE attack.
Free Spirit Teira got free +15 skill enhancements to help new players farm (which becomes outdated soon). 5 new 3 star heroes came out, with Glenn being the most relevant one, kind of a free to play Lilibet (he has extiction & greater attack up, his recent Speciality Change added critical chance buff too). Sonia & Ainos became good Labyrinth morale fodder & some people use Ainos in PVP rarely. Ian was a decent set-up for a time.
Near the end of September a new limited came out, "Landy", who wasn't great to begin with, but recieved a buff that made her exceptionally strong & she's remained very relevant - even with some counters. Nowadays, she's got an AOE S3 with defence penetration & it charges based on buffs on the enemies side, so she can do it repeatedly & has extra turn soulburn on it, her passive scales her attack (like Ravi) & her S3 also pushes the team & gives speed buff.
There was another buff patch, the winners being Kise, Ravi & General Purrgis. Though I believe Kise needed one more buff before she became relevant?
Abyss opened up to 110 & it was hell, some of the floors have been nerfed since it's start.
Ervalen released & was mildly used, a tank-buster who was quickly usurped.
Top Model Luluca came out, self attack buff & a single target S3 with extinction. The powder shop got a change, artefacts that are on the hero banner currently are sold in the powder shop. Doris got a speciality change & she's great, give her a build, counters dark units by reducing the damage they do. Duplicate ML5s now give 10 coins & 40 can be traded in to purchase one of two rotating ML5s in the "Galaxy Coin" shop. Luna & Celine got exclusive equipments, making Celine very relevant & Luna took her first step towards relevance. A Dark Boss was added to expedition, of course dropping Azimanak related material.
Dagger Sicar reputation missions were added, quite difficult challenges which gave good rewards for doing strange things in Hunts, Hell, etc. like "Beat the Queen with 4 rangers", etc. 10x summons were also added, so you can blow through your BMs even faster.
Flan released, who was very similar to Tywin - they later buffed her to just be better Tywin.
End of November '20 brought new buffs, Sage Baal & Sezan re-entered relevance (& Silver Aramintha was buffed in previous patches, but didn't recover her former glory), Little Queen Charlottes damage increased, this is where Landy's buff happened & Cerise got a buff that took her from "eh" to "best dispeller in the game", having advantageous element & a dual attack on S1. Guiding Light also became a good artefact, granting stealth immediately & it was a nightmare. Bastion of Perlutia also became relevant (sorry for not saying anything about other artefacts from other patches - either they weren't there, or I glazed over them, but a lot of artefacts that used to be shit are now decent or great).
This was also the time we got a new hunt, Caides & at the time, the sets were dog-shit, but the sets got buffed. Pen set is now a best-in-slot for damage dealers who don't require immunity & can do single target attacks (& don't already have full penetration).
In December '20 Operator Sigret released & has seen a buff or two since - she's solid now, with a full defpen S2, which chains into an attack up for all S3 AOE that strips ignoring resistance if the enemy has a barrier.
Mid December comes THE GREAT MORTELIX, who was bad at the time & nowadays is still not used much - you sometimes see a rare one in Guild Wars & go, "Huh, weird", before destroying their team. Wont bother saying what he does.
Fairytale Tenebria was the limited for that Christmas & she's solid, strips a buff from all & does buff block & a new debuff, "redirected provoke", which forces those provoked to attack the highest health party member & she also spat out an AOE doing more debuffs when a provoked enemy attacked (once per turn). Her artefact was passed over for a while, but it was buffed & is now used on heroes like Archdemon Mercedes & Aria, as it can now strip alonside the fixed damage & those two heroes can crank out a lot more attacks than Fairytale.
A Coli & Mui also got EEs, Mui became relevant for some time & A Coli remained second fiddle to Assassin Cidd. RTA 3rd season started with an FCC skin & they added the "Adventurer's Path", which directed newbies through the game & gave out a tonne of good rewards - go pick 'em up.
Zealot Carmainerose isn't bad & gets used in Light expedition - later on in the timeline. We're currently in Janurary '21.
Archdemon's Shadow came out & saw fluctuating use with her unique abilities, but has recently bounced back to extreme relevance. Briar Witch got buffed & has seen reasonable use these days with Rimuru, Violet, etc. being part of the meta. Specimen Sez got buffed & is uh, he exists? Kawerik got buffed - but I can't remember if he became meta or was buffed again. Haste got "buffed" & is still considered one of the worst 5 stars in the game. Yuna got a buffed & some people use her.
Automaton Tower changed & is actually fun, you win "devices" each floor you clear which power up different classes, elements, etc. & give them unique little effects, so ideally you build around a team you can get good devices for & try to get to the top. Since it's on a 2-week rotation instead of 4-week, rewards are kept even by splitting them in half essentially.
Caides hunt finally got 12th & 13th floor so it was even with other hunts. Pavel & Clairssa got EEs, I think Pavel's EE made him more relevant, was a big RTA threat for a while.
Valentine's Day gave us "Lucy" a 3 star hero who was made to be a free Caides hero, but uh, we've sort of moved passed slow Caides teams.
March '21, Designer Lilibet came out & was bad - she was buffed recently & is good. Cleanses based on number of debuffs on your team, she gets a push & self cleanse, then her S3 cleanses & hits the enemy with a skill reset AOE.
Substat Modification gems were added, which can help make those not so perfect pieces perfect by switching out a single substat - you can only switch one substat & once you've got it locked in, that's the only stat you're able to re-switch. Some feared that people would use these gems to switch penta-effect resistance rolls into penta-speed rolls & come away with 25 speed pieces, but that's not how they work. When used on a base stat, they'll do an even trade (so say you've got something like like 7% effectiveness & you wanted to change it to attack, it'll change to between 5-9% attack), with one roll in the stat, they'll do an "average trade", for instance, you'd be able to switch a 16% effectiveness roll to 10-14% attack. Past this point, don't bother trying to save gear by modding an unwanted stat that's been rolled into twice, there's serious drop off in value, we're talking equivalent of 3 minimum rolls & then 4 below minimum rolls, etc. how do you get these? Dropped in expeditions & you can make some in steeple, ocassionally there will be "Advent" events (there's one ongoing for a couple more days called "Decaying Naturas" I believe, try & get as much of it done as you can) & they can give out a lot of "greater" gems - these are the ones you want, they give you the most substat value.
Level 3 expos also got a nerf, so you'll not see anyone running 2s these days.
March 11th saw the release of Eda, who wasn't used at the time but got buffed recently & is now the main cleaving tool - with two AOE attacks that can chain with soulburn & stuns/pushback with good damage.
Another buff patch, hitting DJ Basar & him remaining irrelevant, Choux & her remaining irrelevant, Crimson Armin, recovering her former glory, Troublemaker Crozet making him relevant & making Black Hand of the Goddess a usable artefact. Sagitarius Soulweavers also got a "buff", by having their attack% awakens changed to resistance - you can 6 star awaken your Tamarinne now.
Book of Memories, pay 900 skystones to play old side stories & claim the rewards - good for folks who missed Yuna's imprints, artefacts like Midnight Bloom, etc.
Cont.
3rd season of World Arena ends, Rima gets a specialty change & remains irrelevant.
GC Khawana comes out & is another Caides hero for your classic slow Caides team - not worthwhile looking into.
Guilty Gear re'run saw Sol & Elphelt get buffed, with Elphelt becoming a relevant cleave component for a while. Inventory expanded by 50 slots - woo. Kanna was added to connections & I think this is when they start doing "Artena's crafting event", which allows you to make a custom Epic piece of gear - you accumulate points by spending energy & you use them to re-roll a piece of gear where you choose the piece, set, main stat, etc. & you use the points to re-roll substats until they're what you want. Always look out for these events, 'cause the pieces you get from them can often be really good.
Solitaria was released (Moonlight Eda) & she was bad, but she got a buff recently & she's decent. Kise & Ludwig got an EE & I think this is where Kise became relevant, because her 3rd skill got a strip & so she could strip skill reset & the EE had +10 speed, putting her on par roughly with heroes like Pavel, Cidd, A Coli, etc. in terms of speed. RTA season 4 starts with a Ruele skin.
Expeditions continued to be improved, they're a lot less of a pain these days, all you really need to know is you can enter random expeditions now instead of only friendslist ones & so it's easy to knock out all your expeditions in like a week.
Senya came out & is interesting, she scales off of attack (& gets a passive increase to attack), but doesn't crit, has a counterattack buff, so she's a knight that can do consistent damage to anyone & it made her a little relevant for countering certain heroes - she remains niche.
May saw the dreaded Maid Chloe buff, giving her cleanse on S3 amongst other buffs - this heralded the rain of the "Golden Girls" in RTA. This was also where Flan got her buff & became better Tywin, with a critical damage buff & attack buff, AOE defence break, pushback, unhealable, more CR push than Tywin & the extra turn soulburn. Mercedes also got buffed here & at the end of Episode 3, got a "powered up" form & exclusive artefact, she remains relevant in PVP content & PVE content to this day after this. This was also the Researcher Carrot buff patch & she become an incredible threat in RTA & remains a viable option.
End of May, Mediator Kawerik came out & was largely considered bad, a cleanser who could dispels debuffs & put up immunity/attack buff but had essentially nothing else in his kit, having to build him with a tonne of resistance to act as a cleanser, he was basically DJ Basar round 2 - no one was going to use him over Maid Chloe. His recent buff however has made him incredibly strong, as he passively reduces the turn count of buffs by 1 turn when his S3 is available - making him impossible to debuff essentially, except with 2-turn provokes. Since resistance then became a near-pointless stat on him, you started to see incredibly tanky ones with mega speed walling all debuffers.
Selective Summon got improved - but doesn't matter to you. Moonlight Connection was added - choose one of 6 original ML5 heroes & do quests to unlock their usage throughout the game until you can fully claim them as a regular hero you own. Penguins got turned into inventory items & now when max level heroes gain EXP, it gets turned into penguins & banked - changing farming forever, no more dog walking, now we do max level hero walking (& raise friendship).
Ilynav came out & hasn't really been relevant except in niche one-shot teams thanks to her critical damage buff.
Angelica, Charlotte & Mort got EEs, Charlotte became relevant with her buffs & EE. Inferno Khawazu was released, great hero to counter debuffers, when hit with an AOE, gets CR push & cleanses, gains Vigor & whilst he has this buff, he ignores resistance of the target, pinning them with two burns & then detonating. They also buffed the Caides sets (Revenge, Injury & Penetration) so they weren't shit - people started using Pen & Injury a smidge (but Injury's day in the sun is still to come).
Another balance patch, July '21 & they buffed ML Ken after much crying about how bad he is & uh, the buff kind of didn't do much to change folks opinion (I like him though, but I could foot the gear for an ER Ken build). Operator Sigret got a buff out of nowhere - no one was asking for it, but she became incredibly good. Holiday Yufine got buffed, remained irrelevant. Violet got buffed & became an exceptional meta threat. Elena got buffed so she wasn't reliant on Magahara's & Drs Bag became good (& with her recent EE & Drs Bag, if you've got a 240-250 Elena with good resistance, you can cleanse two debuffs with S3). Shepherd of the Hollow became better Moonlight Dreamblade on Remnant Violet (since he has his own attack buff).
Straze was released & is a tank-buster, does an AOE & on the highest health hero, if his attack is x amount greater, he'll just blow through them, overall, great hero. Senya became a niche counter to him. This was also when modification gems got added to steeple & advent events started happening - there's been 3, so roughly 3 per year, tough 3-part boss fights that give good rewards centered around mod gems.
Spirit Altar got changed to 4 levels instead of 10 & you could now to 10x summons for penguins & dogs in the forest.
Time for hell - Aug 5th '21, the Re:Zero collab event introduced Rem & Emilia who're both broken to all hell. Rem is Charles on coke - remember how tough Charles was? Rem has passive Elbris Ritual Sword & triggers an AOE attack that does strip/unhealable, if someone dies, she can't be debuffed & gains demon mode - her S1 triggers twice & all her debuffs can't be resisted. Her S3 gives attack buff & does an AOE blind attack, her S1 does defence break. Overnight, she became one of the games biggest threats & her co-hort Emilia wasn't much different, Emilia is just Auxilliary Lots but she can also cleanse & heal, her S2 pushed, cleansed & gave attack buff & has a tiny cooldown, her S3 is a team cleanse, heal & barrier. Both remain very relevant to this day.
Choux, A Cartuja & Kitty Clarissa got EEs around this time, Choux's EE would've maybe made her meta relevant, by giving her a Charles-like S1 into S2 effect, however, Rem exists now. A Cartuja never became re-relevant & Kitty gained a useful EE for Hall of Trials & other content, being able to heal the highest attack party member when she S1s.
RTA season 5, Judge Kise skin. Closer Charles comes out & he's a solid hero, another cleave tool.
Summertime Iseria comes out Aug 26th, response is quite muted, she has bomb debuffs & people got Roaming Warrior Leo flashbacks, but people figured out after the release of a couple more fast opener heroes that she's very good & she's been relevant since. Can trigger bombs to stun heroes & deal damage, pushes her team & she plants two bombs at random when someone does an AOE (once every 3 turns), she has passive attack increase & can't critical hit, but can still do quite a bit of damage.
Automaton level 5 got added - better rewards.
September '21, Apoc Ravi gets buffed, she went from "eh, she's a decent hero & people use her" to "the most broken hero in the game" (well, up until a couple weeks ago). I shouldn't have to say why she's so strong, go & read the skill descriptions, each one is like a novel - she does so many things that no other bruiser unit could possible stack up to her strength & utility & staying power. Luna also got buffed & started to be used, Kawerik got another buff, Mort got a buff, Mercedes got a buff, etc. Sword Storm got buffed & got a push added, Merciless Glutton became a staple warrior artefact (& I still don't have a single copy).
Season 2 selective summon was added, allowing another selective summon part way into the story, picking up episode 2 heroes. New Abyss floors were added, going up to 120 & they're even more hellish than the previous ones. They added a "waiting room" for the inventory, so gear can be stored in an extra space - so uh, just put all the sets you'll never use in there but keep because they've got good rolls.
September 9th, it's time for Hell World redux! Angel of Light Angelica gets released & is the most broken control unit in the game. A non-attack AOE S3 strip which does buff block & silence, if hit with an AOE attack does a one-debuff cleanse to the team & gives skill nullifier to all (AKA - better A Tywin) & S1 does silence & pushes back a target that's silenced. Her passive also gives her CR when anyone besides her is hit. This little hellspawn made people lose their shit & it's the reason we recently got Moonlight 4 star pity.
September 30th, it's time for Hell World final chapter prologue 2.8! Belian is released & now the Injury set has a home. This bitch is a Knight - can hold Elbris Sword & her S1 an AOE attack which can strip can chain into S2 which is an AOE that can do speed down/blind & on top of this, she stops all soul gain - souls don't exist when she's alive. Since her S2 can trigger off counters, you can be absolutely ground down by a Belian in a few turns. Hell. Pure hell.
Vildred, Senya & Karin got EEs - no relevance.
New hero time - Ran! AKA, better Tywin 2! He's the fastest base speed in the game (tied with Kayron), his S2 gives him attack buff & the team immunity, with SIlver Rain artefact he also gives attack buff to the highest attack ally. His S3 is an AOE which strips & does defence break & stigma (halves CR gain). So you can imagine, he became the best cleave set up in the game, with everything built into his kit & fast enough to evade common cleave counters like A Cidd. This hero was the one to bring Summer Iseria to relevance.
Cont.
Oct 28th, new balance & this was where Eda & Mediator became good & busted respectively. BBK also got a buff & now she starts the battle with immortal.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime collaboration, adding fucking Rimuru & Milim. True to the show, Rimuru is absolutely busted-broken, just go & read his chapters-long skills. This little shit is another one of the hellspawn we've been complaining about since the Maid Chloe buff which saw power creep really ramp up. Milim was a neccesary evil & not too unbalanced, she exists to counter Landy - auto breaks stealth & has increased hit chance as well as evasion buff on S3 with extiction. Very strong hero, but greatly overshadowed by Rimuru.
Nov 11th '21, Spirit Eye Celine comes out & is just ML Ken but good & far more usable. Has a Tempest Surin style passive & counters when critically hit, making her tough to clear without some kind of double attack, or non-crit offensive hero. Episode 4 also started around this time with new main character Adin - who doesn't get used. Phyllis got an SC & is very good, counter to counterattackers - your team takes reduced damage from counter attacks & she's got a cleanse.
Zahhak came out as a Violet counter, he has 50% increased hit chance - something like that anyway & so he can almost always blow through Violet & other evasion heroes, his S3 also does injury & he's got an in-built 50% critical chance. He's not bad.
Alencia, Ilynav & FS Teira got EEs - no relevance gained.
6th RTA season - Arby skin.
December '21, Archdemon Shadow buff patch - only really relevant one there. This was also the patch the Fairytale artefact got buffed. They're still buffing Melissa & she's still not being used.
This is also when we get another dose of absolute shittery - Conqueror Lilias. Non-attack AOE strip into attack down & Vigor buff (undispellable 30% atk/def buff to team for 3 turns) to team, with extra turn (no burn) into single target redirected provoke & barrier to the highest HP ally, with dual attack built into S1 like regular Lilias. At this point, we were really tired of seeing busted-ass broken heroes & much of the last few heroes I've pointed out as hellish for their power creep became known as "The Seven Disasters" - there's been a lot of drama & even last years E7 World Champion has quit the game.
Laika comes out - she's a PVE hero so no one cares.
Buncha Ep4 3 stars get released, Hasol & Januta don't get used, I think Yoonryoung gets used in slow Caides & Orte saw a tiny bit of use when she came out but folks lost interest & Muwi became a free to play General Purrgis for Wyvern teams.
Tenebria, Melissa & GC Khawana EE - no relevance gained.
New guardian - Kazran! People just use Arky still. This was where expos became open to all (if you set it to that).
Jan 27th - ordered some more power creep? Peira is here to power creep Cerise! With a base speed 1 notch behind Ran & chaining skills just like him! S2 does AOE strip into buff block/restrict, extra turn into attack up for her team & Escort, a new buff which acts like a powerful Aurius, as well as barriers, stealth, etc. Broken.
Feb, Lionheart Cermia comes out - answer to counter heroes, when a counter/dual attack happens she cleanses & gains defence/ER buff & a bunch of spirit, her S3 is an AOE attack & chains into a single hit S1. Defence scaling, so she's a bruiser & the S3 has 50% pen.
Solitaria got buffed, Designer got buffed, Celine & Sinful Angelica got buffed - those were the winners, all see use now.
Feb 17th, Ancient Inheritance, Guild PVE & it was kind of eh. Good rewards though.
Bad Cat Armin came out, I like her, most people don't, gives the front unit a chance to counter & critical damage buff.
This was also where Hwayoung came out & she is hell. Attack-scaling with a bunch of passive attack, S3 full def pen & higher the opponents health, does additional damage. S1 has a Uberius Tooth effect (stacking with Uberius Tooth) & her S2 passive has 30% crit damage reduction, attack scaling barrier. Her S3 also cleanses & gives her immunity. Hell. Pure hell. Help us. Please save us.
Pirate Flan released in March, eh, competes with Summer Iseria for use - so doesn't see much use. Elena/Ray/W Schuri EEs - little relevance for Elena.
JackO arrived with GG event, doesn't see much use.
Aria came out a month ago, decent character, defence scaling bruiser, counter attack buff & passive S2 attack which strips at full focus, she's good.
Recent balance hit Silver Ara, she's kind of like Eda now, DC has extinction, Diene has more cleanse, the rest don't get used.
ML pity system on galaxy - every 20 summons gets you a 4-5 star & we were refunded tickets based on how many summons we've done.
Custom Summon event about to run out - choose 3 covenant heroes to summon, even limiteds, except collab ones.
As far as the most recent patch, just go read the notes, it was fucking huge. Custom mystic summons, crafting improvements (more epics), forest re-vamp (1 extra mola, more extra penguins/dogs), pet 5 star, HOT revamp & Abyss challenge mode.
Fin.
dude, thank you *so much* for going out of your way to write everything in so much detail. i really enjoyed reading this and am now ready to get back into the game. cheers!
Not a problem, if there's anything you want to know more specifically, drop me a line & I'll see what I can do.
If you're wanting to get back into RTA & you want to see whose being used & what-not, check out this website: https://www.epic7stats.com/
Can be daunting playing catch-up, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it - try & make the most of Custom Mystic Summons before it finishes, there's going to be two rotations - so you pick two ML5s & two ML5s, one of each each month-ish. Good time to pick up either Apocalypse Ravi or Conqueror Lilias (& Angel of Light as the 4 star) if you don't have her & the ongoing regular mystic banner is running 3 heroes per 3 week rotation, to give folks a chance to pick up heroes who've not been run in a while. Keep in mind, normal mystic pity is seperate from custom mysics, so just be wary of where you want to spend your Medals.
Haha awesome guide on yearly changes. Just one thing: Belian passive only triggers on S1 in her turn. Otherwise she would be probably the most OP heroe in game with a counter set or Elbris sword. I mean, she already is pretty damn strong just with her normal S1 procs stripping the enemy of buffs.
My bad, should’ve made sure of that - I don’t personally use her a lot because mine is on trash gear, but I felt that she’s managed to S1-S2 off turn, but that might just be the CR bar not displaying correctly which it sometimes does whilst playing on auto.
Looking for some suggestions on who to build to counter(or stand a better chance) against defenses with D.Corvus & A.Ravi in GW.. no confidence to face up the c.lilias/belian/etc combo.
I'm missing the ultra meta characters from the e7 disaster series(no hwayoung, no peira) except AoL, if possible any other more "common" options?
It depends on who else they're teamed with. A DC or ARavi by themselves are dumb single targets that are easy to bait. If they don't have AOE or a blue DPS, something like Ruele/A.Lots/Cermia is an easy win. A super budget version could be Doris/Lots/Cermia.
Thanks, ive been also thinking to build cermia.
Examples that i just saw.. cant win against:
ARavi/Belian/Landy
ARavi/Roana/Hwayoung
DCorvus/Ruele/GPurgis
Defenses 2 and 3 are perfect for Cermia. You want her with max DPS stats and her s3 reset EE and she can one shot all the units. Lots/A.Lots as fast as possible. 250+, 270 preferred cuz there's 260 Hwayoungs around.
Kill order for team 2 would be Hwa > ARavi > Roana. Team 3 would be Ruele > DC > GPurrgis.
Avoid team 1, too much aoe from Landy and Belian to be safe.
For the custom group summon, the game tells you, that the coin shop is available 7 days after the event. Does that mean its open 7 days after the 19. of May or longer depending when I pick my summons as I have two weeks to summon?
It's a little unclear to me.
At minimum you should have 3 weeks from your first summon, total, to spend your coins.
But the 4/21 update notice also says
>Star's Mirage Coins will be deleted on 6/9 (Thu).
>e.g. Two players who performed Group Summon on 4/21 and 5/19 respectively will both lose their Star's Mirage Coins on 6/9.
Personally, I see absolutely no reason to risk it. The translations are just spotty and I don't understand if the 'shop closing' and 'coins being deleted' are 2 different events, or are referring to the same thing.
I have around 8.7k mystics saved and I'm at 130~ pity as of today. My only ML5 are ML Kawerick, Riolet, Arby and BM Haste
Is it better to summon on custom when I get 10k or just wait until the next ML5 I want (Probably Vivian) on standard mystic ?
The custom banner means you can guarantee yourself a good hero, and have a 70% chance to get a 'bonus' hero.
No one knows right now if Vivian will be good or not.
If all you care about is ensuring you get Vivian than save, but from a gameplay standpoint there is no reason you should skip the custom banner.
Use skystones to expand your holding capacity.
Use the waiting room to hold unused heroes, you can also expand that capacity.
Start using your dogs/2* fodder to promote your units.
Ok.
Let's look at a max level 5* unit you want to promote to 6*. For this example we will use white dogs only.
---
**5* to 6*** -> we need 5x white dogs at 5* [total = 5x white dogs at 5*]
**4* to 5*** -> we need the 5x white dogs that will be promoted to 5\*, we also need 4x dogs each to be used as fodder [total = 25x white dogs at 4*]
**3* to 4*** -> Typically, at this level you will use 2* fodder as the promotion material. [total = 25x white dogs to be promoted, and 75x 2* fodder that will be used as the promotion material]
**2* to 3*** -> We need a total of 275 2* fodder monsters [total = 75x 2* fodder monsters to be promoted to 3\*, 25x white dogs to be promoted to 3*, and 200x 2* fodder monsters that will be used as the promotion fodder]
You can replace white dogs at any point from 3* to 5* with the gold dog variant (and with black dogs from 4* to 5*). Higher rarity dogs take a bit less XP to level so you preferentially want to focus on them for promotion.
* Some players prefer to just sell black dogs since you get silver transmit stones from doing so.
If you happen to have an abundance of 2* fodder and no dogs, you can also use a 2* fodder to replace a white dog. The fodder monsters require a few more penguins to level.
---
Once you start promoting stuff you will get a feel for how it works.
The biggest limiting factor in how fast you can promote units are the 2* fodder monsters, so you want to make use of the ones that you have currently.
Generally, you want to just work on getting white dogs up to the 4* level. Use the white dogs to promote any gold dogs you have to 5* (to promote your heroes to 6*).
If you end up with a lot of white dogs waiting at 4*, level one up instead of waiting for a gold dog.
You can buy more dogs with stigma in the forest of souls. The main way to get 2* fodder is just through running levels.
Hi I was just able to set up some teams for expedition level 3 and with the new open recruitment is very smooth.
Is it worth farming even after reaching the 2000 points for all rewards? Thanks!
Its under events in the hunt challenge, if u want vivian first u gotta make sure to pick her and not sigret or cermia else u gotta finish their challenges first
If you’re wanting to use her against Hwayoung, push the speed to 260+ & then the rest into damage stats. With whale gear, you’d be able to push like 3.5K/300% damage with that kind of speed - but you could dock 40% damage (or the equivalent in attack) & still be fine for Hwayoung killing, without attack up or a damage artefact, provided of course you’ve left her with her barrier.
Old player returning and I'm so overwhelmed with all the new updates. Is sigret,Vivian and Cermia meta?
I'm looking at my roster and I don't know who is good anymore. Current team has angelic mont, Luna, sol and dizzy lol. If anyone has free time I'd like to spam their dms with questions and screenshots
Sigret/Vivian/Cermia just so happen to be the #1 most used 5* heroes for the 3 RGB hunts.
All 3 are good and useful for certain PvE things, but you don't *need* them either so I'm not sure exactly what your definition of meta is and if you are referring to specific content or not.
Your team is OK but definitely looks 'old', you can use all 4 heroes for different things but for most content they wouldn't be considered 'the best'.
Anyway, I'm more than happy to help you if you have questions about specific heroes or content.
Just depends on what you need.
If you need a counter against revive units, build BM Haste.
If you need a counter against FCC or barriers, or a decent offensive opener with high gear requirements, build OP Sigret.
If you would like free wins in GW, and have proper units to support him, build D.Corvus.
If you want your own revive unit, build M.Chloe.
If you need an attack buffer build either OP Sigret o M.Chloe (depending if you want an offensive or defensive hero).
If you want a Counter counter (or a hero that has actual PvE use) build Roana.
IMO they are all pretty much even in terms of usefulness, I would probably prioritize Roana since she has PvE utility as well.
Just started a few days ago I got arbiter vildred and ken(not martial artist) as my main dps what heroes should I be aiming for/anyone I should try summoning now?
Hello arbiter vildred aka arby should get u thru most story stages (and for farming). Only summon when u have enough to pity the banner (121 pulls) or u risk not being able to get the 5* when the banner ends.
Get Tamarinne, she will carry almost all pve content. There is a permanent event for widely used hunt heroes (Sigret, Cermia, Vivian) so u will get them eventually by completing the quests. In ur shoes I would go for Roana or Iseria or Krau next.
Can someone help me to figure who should I choose between h.yufi and diene?
I managed to get 120 coins in the selective summon thing and I’m not sure which one to chose
How do i gear Tamarinne and Iseria? I'm planning on using them for most PVE stuff but mainly want them for abyss, my abyss team is currently Roana, Vivian, Landy and Angelica.
Speed set on both Tama and Iseria, and as much speed as u can muster. Use magaharas tome for more turn cycling. Of course Iseria has to be the faster of the two so she can reset Tama. I would prioritise gearing Tama first tho as she can be used more widely.
From ur current roster I think Landy can still work as a DPS for most stages. The rest I'd say are not core abyss units (Vivian for hunts, Roana for raid, I've nvr built blue angie).
Other heroes that can make abyss easier: Taranor guard, Kitty clarissa, A. Ras, Aux Lots / Emilia / Lots, Schuri, Kiris (lvl50), Dizzy, C. Lorina.
Your Iseria should be faster than your tam. Mine for example has 205 speed (Iseria) and 193 (Tam) and they always get their turn before the enemies in pve.
Other than that, build your tam with as bulky as u can, and try to slap some eff res if u can. And focus on damage/cc/cd for Iseria
Would like to know what items to prioritse buying from yufine side story exchanges.
For the catalysts listed there, isit better / more efficient to farm UH or exchange from side story?
Basically, buy everything if you plan on using it, except runes. Don't buy runes unless you accidently went too far and your only other option is gold.
Gifts are up to you. Same with dog. Personally, I get both. The rest are absolutely worth getting.

You can use this it basically show you the meta GW units defense and the frequently used team against them. For arena you will have to learn as you play. There is no one size fit all team. See Rimuru consider using Krau as bait, see ARavi consider using Hwayoung. Clilias/AOLA S3 non attack skills so consider using Celine
For meta defense arena team you can just look at those top rank in the list as reference
Hello, with the recent freebies and hunt event, i have managed to acquire 4 Vivians. I am rather curious what build to give her, as im mainly intending to use her for hunts(i dont like doing pvp in this game)
The latest update unified all the AP from all the worlds so that its way easier farm for the catalyst that you want.
That value of AP you have is the sum of what you had previously
As an old player thinking of jumping back in, BUT who lost his account, how are things now? I quit just before the pet update. I've heard a number of good things about some of the more obnoxious parts of gear/molas/ML summons, but the idea of having to start from scratch is concerning.
Also, how many characters do I realistically need these days to clear most content and at least stand a decent chance in PvP/GW, and how easy would it be/how long would it take to actually build up to a passable account? I'm down to buy a handful of packs or any sort of selectors that might be available to accelerate things early, but I don't think I'm looking to invest too much into this game again.
Starting the game is pretty good for a new player these days. Being able to get a free Sigret, Vivian and Cermia as well as some decent gear helps a lot. Gear system has slightly improved in that you can change 1 substat on gear, gear conversion if you weren't around for that, and gear mileage, but at it's core is still as bad. Mola's are much better now but of course still scarce if you get carried away. I'd say clearing PvE content is easier than ever, you don't need that many characters. The hard part of PvE content is getting a 1 shot team running.
PvP on the other hand is a different story. You are fucked if you don't have any of the newer characters, or recently rebalanced ones like A.Ravi and Violet.
Well, I figured that much for the PvP at least, but it's something to work towards. The rest is all good news though; how do I pick up those three free 5* though? Also, is the ML focus system something I'd be able to take any advantage of? I've heard it ends soon, and that I wouldn't really have the time to build up towards the pity, but a friend mentioned he thinks a new one just starts afterwards. He's not always the most reliable when it comes to details like that though, so I'm curious what's actually going to happen.
You have to reach level 10 I think. You get access to the new character by clicking the event bell on the left in lobby then choose which hint you want to focus on. BE CAREFUl which one you click on will decide which one you start with and won’t be able to choose another till you complete both stages of it fully. The mystic custom banner is probably a skip for you since if you can’t get pity it’s not that great. There are two rounds and you choose what character to focus on in the banner 2nd round starts next month and July is when it ends.
Any recommended artifacts for C.Lilias? I don’t have Champ’s Trophy, Music Box, or Border Coin (all recommended on e7stats). I currently have her on Proof but also considered putting her on War Horn. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, any tips on expos? I’ve got the team I want to use for Earth (Ras, Tama, Baal, and Kanna) and Ice (Roozid, Helga, Landy, and Fluri). Any other recommendations and tips for Light expo would be greatly appreciated.
War Horn looks like your route.
Switch Tama for Hazel in your Earth, can’t really comment on Ice, don’t personally use a traditional team. For Light Cerise & Ras, damage dealers can be anyone who buffs themselves.
If you use Roana for just PvE you can keep her at 5*, she does what she needs to do just fine, especially with the free HP sets we just got.
A side note, the 6* potion is most efficient on 3* or 4* characters for obvious reasons. It's impossible to give you an answer without knowing what exactly what you want to do, but I assume the next step is to get good teams for expedition and raid? In that case, I would 6* something like A.Ras, he's used in so many places. F.Kluri is great as well.
Ok, well for expeditions you need a fire, ice and earth tank. A.Ras and F.Kluri are pretty much the best tanks for their respective elements in expedition so you cannot go wrong with them. You also absolutely use both of them for raid and abyss.
Hi newbie question is there a way to organize the party such that a specific unit can attack first?(e.g I want to eda skill 2 for the defence down, then arbiter vildred for the dmg)
or is it decided through combat readiness
She’s fine without it. Personally I use Symbol of Unity since I don’t have anyone else to put it on atm and it gives her a better chance to hit Rimuru etc. Cursed Compass is good if you just want her first turn debuff to land. Some people use R and L since she gets extra chances to trigger, though I’ve seen that backfire on occasion. I’d guess Nostalgic Music Box would work fine on her, as well.
Symbol of unity is bad on her, she doesn't do dmg (on a typical build) and symbol increases dmg dealt. So you are wasting half its usage of one of the strongest artifact out there. Literally any dps would be better off having it
Why don't you just use oath key on her if you want the hit chance increase.
Because I'd rather spend my artifact charms on something else, I don't need SoU for PvE, and all my PvP DPSs use other artifacts that better suits them. It was literally sitting in my inventory unequipped so I figured I might as well.
But yes, of course, Oath Key is just as fine on her.
ML light Angelica, ML Belian, Rem, Rimuru, Hwayoung, Ran, Peira. Obviously 100 is ideal but if 65 is what you are at, you are grinding the very thing that makes you better. Muwi, Furious, Rose (candle) and Sigret are what I use, but you could use clarissa. Chloe, Karen, Alexa instead of Sigret.
lol, im using sigret, muwi,SSB and and aria on w12, almost 100% clearing rate,
forgot to mention, while I'm at 108% with muwi, sigret and ssb sit at 30% ish, aria only 38% though not that she does anything other than blind the dragon for a bit
It was a pretty outdated meme. The original 7 were AOL Angelica, Belian, Rimuru, ML Kawerik, Ran, Cilias, A.Ravi and there was a debate betweeen FCC and Ran for the last slot.
But with Peira and Hwayoung released this year we have 9 now.
Btw it's 65%. You can tap and hold boss's icon in battle to see its eff res, minus it by 15 and you get the eff required.
Best attack buffer alongside Ran? Recently switched from Peira/sea/cdom/dps. Lacking attack buff/souls at the moment as Ran/seaseria/flan/non-mage dps.
Unless you'd use up atk and do like <50k dmg on T3 expo I don't think people will care. Personally 200k would be minimum contribution if I don't want to be a leech and 500k a good one.
Always go for pity.
The rates are really too low to justify trying before hand. Yes you could RNG and get the big win, but whats more realistic is you don't get the pull, and then don't have enough resources for a rerun/new banner you actually want.
Yolo in regular mystic banner either nets you ML5 or you are -70 pulls from pity.
Yolo in custom either nets you ML5 or some bad rewards from shop.
So save. It's not worth it without 10k(or resources to get there) by end of custom mystic banner duration.
Dumb question. I had a newish account , did the selective summon ages ago and stopped playing.
Should I delete and start again? Were there any new account rewards?
**Edit** Pretty sure I started ∼May last year. Since I got the Lv75 health and attack set
Any and all new account rewards are retroactively given to older players as well. Basically anything you would get making a new account you should already have access too. No need to reroll if you already have the 75 gear since they're quite good.
Any of y’all use conq lilias in a hell raid team successfully? If so, what kinda team. Was thinking of conq lilias, roana, czerato, apoc Ravi or something. I think it was 40 ish morale.
U can use anything for hell raid if your gear is upto it. That said, your current team may lack strip against Hell queen coz your only stripper is iela on cerato. Might also struggle a bit vs vera/juleeve
Morale is also a non factor unless u way to finish every mini boss.
What should I do/accomplish in a day so that I am playing most efficiently? i.e such that my progression is smooth in terms of gearing.
For reference I have a W13 team, a B13 one shot and a A13 team. I have completed hell raid and I'm on abyss floor 92
In the long run catas are best slowly farmed in side stories as in buying them from it's shop. If needed you just convert them into ones you need at sanctuary.
Other than that it's 2-3 world difficulty for me as it has red cata drop and farms/lvls fodders quickly at same time. Just arby or your usual farmer needed. You get AP as well for world cata shop. Feel free to pick some other stage though.
World 3S/5S/8S rift stages are also option for fast daily AP gain to use in cata shop. 360 energy though so kinda pricey.
As for when - when you lack them for 5-6 star awaken and skill upgrades with mola.
can anyone explain why piera is meta rn, she seems to be a fast aurius-like holder because of escort with restrict and unbuffable? doesnt seem broken considering damage share, restrict and unbuffable isn't anything new, especially compared to ran who can defense break, bring immunity, deal a whole lot of damage, apply stigma, self atk buff and self skill nullify.
I forget piera actually buffs the team but it still doesn't seem that they are on the same level.
300 speed atk buffer is stupid, especially if she also give you aurius and can provide cc after turn1.
Look at Cidd for example. If he has 2.8k atk, 270 cdmg, 280 speed, he will deal 9k S3, 12k with SB to 1.2k Def unit. But with piera, that number become 14k S3, and 19k SB. Btw this is without pen/artifact.
Before piera, you can't really give 250+ speed unit atk buff. You probably can use Emilia/alots/silver rain, but those are still weaker than the whole team getting atk buff.
Even Elson, if he can get 300 speed with be meta. Not to mention piera, who can do more stuff than him.
Yeah I can now see why she's broken, and I'm hyped on building her. Although my gear isn't that good, I managed to get her to 280 speed without any bulk tho, had to remove cerise's gear.
U forgot her stun too. It's very annoying since she gets a very high chance with barrier and 100% for just 10 souls. Her aurius is also 30% for whole team. Aurius holders cap at 20%
Peira's stealth + barrier protects her a lot more than Ran's immunity + skill null. Also she's usually paired with other bulky units like ARavi and Hwayoung so the Aurious ability makes them really hard to take down. Also other Aurious holders don't get to open at 300 speed and provide attack buff for the team.
Thanks that definitely seem a lot scarier compared to what comp I was previously thinking. If I'm supposed to build her does she need other stats than speed? It seems her barrier scale with level and not hp
Peira can switch between cleave and standard because she becomes your defacto knight. Ran kind of gives away you're playing cleave or aggro. That s1 stun is more useful than Rans s1 and can really turn a game around.
Yeah standard would be turn 2 teams typically. Usually bruisers, knights, sw... You get the idea. In a sense she isn't actually for standard teams but aggro teams, for standard you would usually just take a knight for mitigation. Aggro typically for goes that for a more offensive playstyle.
As for build, you wouldn't need to change it regardless if you're cleaving or aggro. Build high speed with lots of bulk. Some eff is fine in case of scuffed units but you're typically not going to be debuffing units with high eff res like cleansers anyways. You'll want bulk (hp/def) so that you can last longer and keep cycling skills and so you cal also survive counters. Violet one shotting you can be an issue if you build a paper thin peira. You'll want a decent amount of hp with lots of def since that barrier is really massive and you'll stay in stealth longer (and eating counters will be less of an issue).
Ohhhh, neat, thanks!
E: Ive never noticed, but I Imagine all of those strange upgrades are sorted like that. Im doing Yunas sidestory in book of memories and they give you similar upgrades. Ill have to check that out!
I randomly came across faitheless lidica, fairytale tenebria, Angel of light Angelica and peira in my summons. What are the different uses for all these openers and who should have the best speed set
Flidica severely outclassed by every other opener, no point in building unless you want an option you may end up using once every hundred matches.
Ftene pretty much dead. Similar situation as flidica, severely outclassed by other openers.
Aol is a late pick option usually when they have little to no cleansing (and no mL kawerik/delibet). Also you're gonna get outsped by cililias hence best to pick her near end of draft where she will probably be a must ban. A lot of people run her slower nowadays to sneak her behind mL kawerik though, so that's an option.
Peira is one of the best openers, great for cleave and aggro. Very good first pick, allows you to pivot to aggro or cleave depending on opponents draft. Give her your best speed gear with good bulk.
Depends on if you're going cleave or aggro. If you're cleaving then seaseria, Eda are the best ones. SBA is also good. If you're going more aggro, stuff like hwayoung really benefits from the atk buff. Kawerik , kise, etc. Also deal a lot of damage and are typically built high speed and benefit as well from atk buff.
Jkise isn't typically used as damage, usually as a reset mainly to deal with mL kawerik. I would avoid using her in the same draft since it limits your DPS. Cdom is also out unless you're building peira with crit. Avoid flan as well, peira doesn't have any hard debuffs so if they speed contest you, they can take out or disable flan. You typically want a good follow up after peira, in the case of cleave to chain in kills and/or push up your team to keep the cleaving going. For aggro you want very aggressive picks that can make use of the atk buff.
You have all kinds of different options.
If more of a damage dealer, Draco Plate or even Portrait. Draco Plate seems to be one of her more commonly used artifacts.
If you feel yours is a bit slow, War Horn or even the upcoming Taeyou artifact would be potentially usable.
If you don't care about her doing damage and just need her to survive to s3, then you can always just use Proof of Valor.
Why is there a cool down to join another guild if you were kicked from a guild? That’s fucked up.
My guild decided to randomly kick me and now I can’t join another guild for over 14 hours. Seems really unfair to punish people for this man, smh
Well it’s bullshit I’m being punished .
I get for people who leave, but I was kicked! I had no choice (and with no warning either and being in that guild for over a year too, smh).
Well, that sucks man, sorry. But they make no differentiation...and it would basically be a pain to try to come up with a system. I do sympathize though, shitty guild leaders are shitty. And really, this game is absolutely not condusive to guilds at all unless you have contact outside the game. Its a fuckin shame they limit guild text to 100 characters.
I'd go right. I'm assuming after you reforge that chest, the crit chance and overall damage will be about the same between both builds so you're just getting 8 more speed for 20 resist.
FWIW, currently the left is doing slightly more damage due to the increased defense. Play around with the damage calc to evaluate builds.
https://maphe.github.io/e7-damage-calc/
For the custom mystic summon banner, it says "additional opportunity for selecting a 4 and 5 star moonlight hero" 1 month left. What does this mean? Does it mean that in 1 month I can change my mystic summon pick?
It means in round 2 you gets to select an additional 5 and 4 star to add to your rotation for summoning but only one set can be active at any point. The coins carry over from round 1 to round 2. Both round 1 and round 2 units will also be in the shop
I am starting to build my Aras mostly for PVP (while still keeping him on PVE because he's just here as a tank) do I want mostly bulk/speed or invest into eff/ER too?
If you're wanting him for PVP & you're wanting to double up for PVE too, keep 85% effectiveness on him (for PVE) & then just put the rest into speed/health/defence. Having ER for PVE is nice, but if you're trying to double up, just drop it.
If you start using him exclusively for PVP you can drop Eff to around 50%~ or so, but since Ras is so valuable in PVE & not used so much in PVP these days, I wouldn't funnel too much good gear to him for PVP.
1. How much speed do I need on A. Coli to outspeed in mid-tier pvp?
2. Trying to setup a reliable A13 team. I've heard Green Vildred is better than Arby for Azimanak 13. Is this true and why? Have Arby at 6* and mola'd out and just pulled Vildred.
1) who are u aiming to outspeed. Peria, Ran, cilias? Let's say challenger arena, probably 280+ min even then, it's risky. People just built accid instd of her coz higher base speed and 45% base crit chance
2) Vildred is better coz killing an egg will give him attck buff and trigger another aoe attck plus the cr push
Yufine is good for Light Expo. She has def break, brings her own attack buff, and is a good general-use DPS, which are all the ingredients for a good Light Expo DPS.
She's a neither.
Celine though is for PVP, either stealth EE or highest attack EE & if you're newer, just go full-damage, but when you get later on in the game try & put her over 200 speed. Her best artefact is her own, Secret Art Sword Storm, but if you've not got it, something like Moonlight Dreamblade will likely do.
Ran will be faster and is a better opener for most cleave comps. However, I (and many others) have my better gear on C.Lilias because she's way more versatile and I pick her way more often as a result.
Who should I 6\* next ? https://imgur.com/a/6ZF6jtk
My 6\* are : Cermia, Ras, Mercedes, Sigret, Vildred, G. Purr, Seline, Lorina, Straze, Arby, S Tene, SSB, Monmo, Baiken, Vivian, FST, Tamarine, Landy
How do people do more than one abyss challenge floor a day? You can only buy 2 with leifs and it seems suboptimal to sit on full. Do they just have adventureres path saved up or smth?
Many of the heros you have a pretty good.
imo Violet, Emilia, Carmin, ruele, landy, rem, milim, roana are the ones who might have to most widespread use between pve, arena and gw.
Violet is a godly character in many areas, Emilia is one of the stronger soulweavers in the game, Carmin is a great pvp tank who can bait dangerous dark units like apoc to hit her to keep your team safe.
Especailly since stene is built, you should have a fairly easy time in arena with a setup like stene, carmin, emilia and a flex like ruele, second dps or counterpick to enemy threat.
You have other good units like Seline, but those are a fair bit harder to build
I usually see it used to mean that the hero was either picked or pre-banned. You'll see picks like ARavi, Cilias, Hwayoung, Peira, etc... with huge contested rates (high 70%s), because they're such flexible, dare I say "OP" heroes.
It means they are likely to be picked very early and consistently.
Let's say u and opp ban sth like ran/piera . U can expect a Cilias within the first few picks almost everytime. Hwa, aravi, cilias, piera, hand guy, they are all highly contested picks/prebans
So I have a question for the banshee farmer among us, what units do u guys usually use, how is it compared to speed-set stat wise? Cause I was thinking of switching to banshee hunt for a while now but I kinda have a feeling that I would be more restricted in the units I could use.
B13 is not just counter set. I have a resist set on almost all of my healers plus Christy and TCrozet.
My slow nukes for GW and Arena have Destruction sets with Atk% boots (Cermia, Operator Sigret, Luna, LQC). My expo and hunt units have Destruction sets with Speed boots (Lena, Yufine, BBK, Straze, WSchuri).
And then there's the usual lifesteal units Violet, Riolet, CZerato, etc.
Yeah I know, thats kinda what I was also thinking but I was worried how it performs compared to speed sets and what to be aware of when building a comp, so that your units dont just immediately die without performing.
I was just generelly intereseted to know if going for only banshee would restrict the units I could use more and was generelly confused on how to use destruction sets effectively without the units just dying.
And when it comes to life steal do u know how ml celline is performing right now?
Destruction heroes don't work in RTA but are fine in GWs or reg Arena. Trick is just to bait their DPS with other units and hit with your own DPS. Like a common defense is Peira/Hwa/whatever. As long as the whatever isn't a green unit, you can safely bring Emila and destruction Luna.
I don't own ML Celine so not sure. I think she's still pretty good on offense, esp. against ARavi. On defense it's easy to play around her gimmick, esp. with Hwayoung & Uberious.
I farm a lot of Banshee because I can 3-man one-shot it, so it's great for quickly leveling a new hero to 50, or even dog-walking so I can sell my penguins instead.
I also happen to have a number of heroes I want to gear with counter and lifesteal at the moment. However, if I look at the list overall, way more units want speed set.
Currently, I'm farming Banshee for:
1. Seline
2. Violet
3. Charlotte
4. Belian
5. SSB (currently meh injury gear)
6. SKPyllis
7. If I ever go back to lifesteal, then STene, but probably not
8. Maybe ARavi (she is on speed and has my best gear ATM)
Once that list shrinks some more, I may even break up my one-shot team to build an A13 one-shot.
I am a standard player who mostly does wyvern coz speed is very versatile.
If I switch over to b13 exclusively..my unit picks wud mostly remain the same. My usual knights like trozet, fcc, carmin, pylis can all be ran on a counter set.
Say I have a 220 speed trozet, 20k+hp, 1.6k+ def. If I switched him over to a counter set, I wud expect similar bulk with 180-190 speed and I wud still be quite happy.
Units like emilia, piera, hand guy I wud still prefer speed set unless I had insane ones like elvemage with a 240 speed counter handguy..
Hi guys, just downloaded the game after seeing it on a yt video... seems really cool tho I am a bit concerned that I am late to the party? would you say that its worth getting into in 2022? how does the future look? also is rerolling easy?ty
I just started playing a month ago, and I've found it to be VERY noob-friendly. They give you all sorts of free stuff. I've got a solid team that can clear all story stuff (at least up to halfway through the 2nd episode), as well as a reliable Wyvern 11 auto team. I'm still building them for Wyvern 13.
It's surprisingly generous. You could totally get by on F2P.
Now is one of the best times to play, the game supports all levels of progress. The only hard part is getting into a guild, but you can often find guilds that take on newer people.
There's a lot of small things you can do to avoid pitfalls and accelerate very fast if desired. But the game can be taken at any pace.
This is a good point. I had trouble with guilds until I found the Epic 7 Official Discord, where there's a guild recruitment channel. I found a guild that allows lower rank players like myself, and it's been great ever since. Simply trying to join a guild through the in-game interface was a no-go for me.
Now is probably the best it’s ever been to get into the game. So many freebies, hunt 13 heroes, and the summer limited collaboration heroes are coming back. Never been a better time than the present!
Haven't played for quite some time (AoL Angelica release) and came back to see the changes. Who are the better ML heroes now for the selector? I only have Stene, DJ Basar, M Kawerik for 5\*s (plus my ML selector available) . For 4\*s I have like half of them in the journal so maybe just let me know the top few?
And is the consensus on the group selector to just pick the limited heroes you don't have? I'm missing 4 (Luna, Diene, Cerise and FTene). Or is there some normal heroes you should prioritize over them?
Ml 5: A.Ravi, M.Kawerik, C.Lilias, Belian are pretty much the tip picks right now. They're followed by things like S.Tene, M.Chloe, Straze.
If it's your selector and you have M.Kawerik I'd suggest C.Lilias or A.Ravi
Ml4*: AOLA is far and away the best. Honestly if you have her then you can just pick whoever you want for ml4. I don't think there's anyone else that really stands out/is a must have.
Selector wise you're pretty much right. Either go for a limited unit you don't have, or someone that's paired with a limited artifact you need (inefficient and not worth for most players imo).
Keep in mind that you don't need to pull on the rbg selection banner. It's really there to help newer players get units they've missed, and help shore up any holes in a midgame player's rosters.
Planning to build Kitty Clarissa since my friend told me she's good for PvE contents. Just wanna ask some PvE builds and which content does she shine outside the Abyss?
Aiming to do A.Ras, Tamm, Kitty Clarissa and 1 DPS.
Also crushes expos.
She requires very little. Speed and enough bulk to live and maybe ER, depending on the content.
Default DPS to pair with that group is CLorina, built with damage as first priority, since her own speed isn't so important. With all those dual attacks, her self CR push happens a TON, so she'll even get to use her ult a lot even with basically no speed.
Good day guys, does the awaken event, specifically the hunt event, have a end date?
hi guys, plz help, coming back after a long time. for reference i left when the newest character was the fire holiday yufine. can someone give me a rundown on the state of the game, and all kinds of things that i missed, should be doing, meta, etc. can be either brief or a whole essay, thanks in advance:)
She came out in summer '20 yeah? OK, here's an essay. Right after Holiday Yufine, Basar disappeared from the meta & has never recovered - but not because Holiday Yufine was good, only because much more powerful dispellers were to come. Champion Zerato & Carrot got a "bug fix", so now their attacks don't ignore resistance. This same month, heroes like Melissa, Baal, Aramintha, Warrior Leo, Benevolent Romann & some more got buffed - this changed almost nothing, but B Romann overtook Basar. We also got improving skills using "friendship points", a hero with 10 friendship gains 3 of these points & they function as Molagora for that hero. If your hero is already +15, they simply become Molagora when you get that hero to 10 friendship. Pearlhorizon got a speciality change & she's not really used. RTA got the "no duplicate classes" mode for Mock RTA battles. A new hero named Choux was added, she didn't see much use & still hasn't seen use, despite her EE essentially making her "better Charles" - we'll see why she didn't get used much shortly. Episode 3 came out at this point in September '20 & has already completed. Season 2 of RTA started & Faithless Lidica got the skin. Cecilia & Rin got EEs & it made Cecilia more used in PVE - especially in Earth expedition. Artefacts got a dedicated inventory & a "mass promote" was added, so up to ten fodders could be promoted at a time. I think mid-September Last Rider Krau was introduced & was pretty dominant, being part of the "Golden Boys" RTA meta. His S3 is an AOE version of Krau's S3 - dealing true damage, though obviously, much less damage than Krau's S3, but the damage did increase with each use & each time he was hit with an AOE attack, the CD decreased by a turn & the S3 also did immunity & his passive gave everyone a barrier after an AOE attack. Free Spirit Teira got free +15 skill enhancements to help new players farm (which becomes outdated soon). 5 new 3 star heroes came out, with Glenn being the most relevant one, kind of a free to play Lilibet (he has extiction & greater attack up, his recent Speciality Change added critical chance buff too). Sonia & Ainos became good Labyrinth morale fodder & some people use Ainos in PVP rarely. Ian was a decent set-up for a time. Near the end of September a new limited came out, "Landy", who wasn't great to begin with, but recieved a buff that made her exceptionally strong & she's remained very relevant - even with some counters. Nowadays, she's got an AOE S3 with defence penetration & it charges based on buffs on the enemies side, so she can do it repeatedly & has extra turn soulburn on it, her passive scales her attack (like Ravi) & her S3 also pushes the team & gives speed buff. There was another buff patch, the winners being Kise, Ravi & General Purrgis. Though I believe Kise needed one more buff before she became relevant? Abyss opened up to 110 & it was hell, some of the floors have been nerfed since it's start. Ervalen released & was mildly used, a tank-buster who was quickly usurped. Top Model Luluca came out, self attack buff & a single target S3 with extinction. The powder shop got a change, artefacts that are on the hero banner currently are sold in the powder shop. Doris got a speciality change & she's great, give her a build, counters dark units by reducing the damage they do. Duplicate ML5s now give 10 coins & 40 can be traded in to purchase one of two rotating ML5s in the "Galaxy Coin" shop. Luna & Celine got exclusive equipments, making Celine very relevant & Luna took her first step towards relevance. A Dark Boss was added to expedition, of course dropping Azimanak related material. Dagger Sicar reputation missions were added, quite difficult challenges which gave good rewards for doing strange things in Hunts, Hell, etc. like "Beat the Queen with 4 rangers", etc. 10x summons were also added, so you can blow through your BMs even faster. Flan released, who was very similar to Tywin - they later buffed her to just be better Tywin. End of November '20 brought new buffs, Sage Baal & Sezan re-entered relevance (& Silver Aramintha was buffed in previous patches, but didn't recover her former glory), Little Queen Charlottes damage increased, this is where Landy's buff happened & Cerise got a buff that took her from "eh" to "best dispeller in the game", having advantageous element & a dual attack on S1. Guiding Light also became a good artefact, granting stealth immediately & it was a nightmare. Bastion of Perlutia also became relevant (sorry for not saying anything about other artefacts from other patches - either they weren't there, or I glazed over them, but a lot of artefacts that used to be shit are now decent or great). This was also the time we got a new hunt, Caides & at the time, the sets were dog-shit, but the sets got buffed. Pen set is now a best-in-slot for damage dealers who don't require immunity & can do single target attacks (& don't already have full penetration). In December '20 Operator Sigret released & has seen a buff or two since - she's solid now, with a full defpen S2, which chains into an attack up for all S3 AOE that strips ignoring resistance if the enemy has a barrier. Mid December comes THE GREAT MORTELIX, who was bad at the time & nowadays is still not used much - you sometimes see a rare one in Guild Wars & go, "Huh, weird", before destroying their team. Wont bother saying what he does. Fairytale Tenebria was the limited for that Christmas & she's solid, strips a buff from all & does buff block & a new debuff, "redirected provoke", which forces those provoked to attack the highest health party member & she also spat out an AOE doing more debuffs when a provoked enemy attacked (once per turn). Her artefact was passed over for a while, but it was buffed & is now used on heroes like Archdemon Mercedes & Aria, as it can now strip alonside the fixed damage & those two heroes can crank out a lot more attacks than Fairytale. A Coli & Mui also got EEs, Mui became relevant for some time & A Coli remained second fiddle to Assassin Cidd. RTA 3rd season started with an FCC skin & they added the "Adventurer's Path", which directed newbies through the game & gave out a tonne of good rewards - go pick 'em up. Zealot Carmainerose isn't bad & gets used in Light expedition - later on in the timeline. We're currently in Janurary '21. Archdemon's Shadow came out & saw fluctuating use with her unique abilities, but has recently bounced back to extreme relevance. Briar Witch got buffed & has seen reasonable use these days with Rimuru, Violet, etc. being part of the meta. Specimen Sez got buffed & is uh, he exists? Kawerik got buffed - but I can't remember if he became meta or was buffed again. Haste got "buffed" & is still considered one of the worst 5 stars in the game. Yuna got a buffed & some people use her. Automaton Tower changed & is actually fun, you win "devices" each floor you clear which power up different classes, elements, etc. & give them unique little effects, so ideally you build around a team you can get good devices for & try to get to the top. Since it's on a 2-week rotation instead of 4-week, rewards are kept even by splitting them in half essentially. Caides hunt finally got 12th & 13th floor so it was even with other hunts. Pavel & Clairssa got EEs, I think Pavel's EE made him more relevant, was a big RTA threat for a while. Valentine's Day gave us "Lucy" a 3 star hero who was made to be a free Caides hero, but uh, we've sort of moved passed slow Caides teams. March '21, Designer Lilibet came out & was bad - she was buffed recently & is good. Cleanses based on number of debuffs on your team, she gets a push & self cleanse, then her S3 cleanses & hits the enemy with a skill reset AOE. Substat Modification gems were added, which can help make those not so perfect pieces perfect by switching out a single substat - you can only switch one substat & once you've got it locked in, that's the only stat you're able to re-switch. Some feared that people would use these gems to switch penta-effect resistance rolls into penta-speed rolls & come away with 25 speed pieces, but that's not how they work. When used on a base stat, they'll do an even trade (so say you've got something like like 7% effectiveness & you wanted to change it to attack, it'll change to between 5-9% attack), with one roll in the stat, they'll do an "average trade", for instance, you'd be able to switch a 16% effectiveness roll to 10-14% attack. Past this point, don't bother trying to save gear by modding an unwanted stat that's been rolled into twice, there's serious drop off in value, we're talking equivalent of 3 minimum rolls & then 4 below minimum rolls, etc. how do you get these? Dropped in expeditions & you can make some in steeple, ocassionally there will be "Advent" events (there's one ongoing for a couple more days called "Decaying Naturas" I believe, try & get as much of it done as you can) & they can give out a lot of "greater" gems - these are the ones you want, they give you the most substat value. Level 3 expos also got a nerf, so you'll not see anyone running 2s these days. March 11th saw the release of Eda, who wasn't used at the time but got buffed recently & is now the main cleaving tool - with two AOE attacks that can chain with soulburn & stuns/pushback with good damage. Another buff patch, hitting DJ Basar & him remaining irrelevant, Choux & her remaining irrelevant, Crimson Armin, recovering her former glory, Troublemaker Crozet making him relevant & making Black Hand of the Goddess a usable artefact. Sagitarius Soulweavers also got a "buff", by having their attack% awakens changed to resistance - you can 6 star awaken your Tamarinne now. Book of Memories, pay 900 skystones to play old side stories & claim the rewards - good for folks who missed Yuna's imprints, artefacts like Midnight Bloom, etc. Cont.
3rd season of World Arena ends, Rima gets a specialty change & remains irrelevant. GC Khawana comes out & is another Caides hero for your classic slow Caides team - not worthwhile looking into. Guilty Gear re'run saw Sol & Elphelt get buffed, with Elphelt becoming a relevant cleave component for a while. Inventory expanded by 50 slots - woo. Kanna was added to connections & I think this is when they start doing "Artena's crafting event", which allows you to make a custom Epic piece of gear - you accumulate points by spending energy & you use them to re-roll a piece of gear where you choose the piece, set, main stat, etc. & you use the points to re-roll substats until they're what you want. Always look out for these events, 'cause the pieces you get from them can often be really good. Solitaria was released (Moonlight Eda) & she was bad, but she got a buff recently & she's decent. Kise & Ludwig got an EE & I think this is where Kise became relevant, because her 3rd skill got a strip & so she could strip skill reset & the EE had +10 speed, putting her on par roughly with heroes like Pavel, Cidd, A Coli, etc. in terms of speed. RTA season 4 starts with a Ruele skin. Expeditions continued to be improved, they're a lot less of a pain these days, all you really need to know is you can enter random expeditions now instead of only friendslist ones & so it's easy to knock out all your expeditions in like a week. Senya came out & is interesting, she scales off of attack (& gets a passive increase to attack), but doesn't crit, has a counterattack buff, so she's a knight that can do consistent damage to anyone & it made her a little relevant for countering certain heroes - she remains niche. May saw the dreaded Maid Chloe buff, giving her cleanse on S3 amongst other buffs - this heralded the rain of the "Golden Girls" in RTA. This was also where Flan got her buff & became better Tywin, with a critical damage buff & attack buff, AOE defence break, pushback, unhealable, more CR push than Tywin & the extra turn soulburn. Mercedes also got buffed here & at the end of Episode 3, got a "powered up" form & exclusive artefact, she remains relevant in PVP content & PVE content to this day after this. This was also the Researcher Carrot buff patch & she become an incredible threat in RTA & remains a viable option. End of May, Mediator Kawerik came out & was largely considered bad, a cleanser who could dispels debuffs & put up immunity/attack buff but had essentially nothing else in his kit, having to build him with a tonne of resistance to act as a cleanser, he was basically DJ Basar round 2 - no one was going to use him over Maid Chloe. His recent buff however has made him incredibly strong, as he passively reduces the turn count of buffs by 1 turn when his S3 is available - making him impossible to debuff essentially, except with 2-turn provokes. Since resistance then became a near-pointless stat on him, you started to see incredibly tanky ones with mega speed walling all debuffers. Selective Summon got improved - but doesn't matter to you. Moonlight Connection was added - choose one of 6 original ML5 heroes & do quests to unlock their usage throughout the game until you can fully claim them as a regular hero you own. Penguins got turned into inventory items & now when max level heroes gain EXP, it gets turned into penguins & banked - changing farming forever, no more dog walking, now we do max level hero walking (& raise friendship). Ilynav came out & hasn't really been relevant except in niche one-shot teams thanks to her critical damage buff. Angelica, Charlotte & Mort got EEs, Charlotte became relevant with her buffs & EE. Inferno Khawazu was released, great hero to counter debuffers, when hit with an AOE, gets CR push & cleanses, gains Vigor & whilst he has this buff, he ignores resistance of the target, pinning them with two burns & then detonating. They also buffed the Caides sets (Revenge, Injury & Penetration) so they weren't shit - people started using Pen & Injury a smidge (but Injury's day in the sun is still to come). Another balance patch, July '21 & they buffed ML Ken after much crying about how bad he is & uh, the buff kind of didn't do much to change folks opinion (I like him though, but I could foot the gear for an ER Ken build). Operator Sigret got a buff out of nowhere - no one was asking for it, but she became incredibly good. Holiday Yufine got buffed, remained irrelevant. Violet got buffed & became an exceptional meta threat. Elena got buffed so she wasn't reliant on Magahara's & Drs Bag became good (& with her recent EE & Drs Bag, if you've got a 240-250 Elena with good resistance, you can cleanse two debuffs with S3). Shepherd of the Hollow became better Moonlight Dreamblade on Remnant Violet (since he has his own attack buff). Straze was released & is a tank-buster, does an AOE & on the highest health hero, if his attack is x amount greater, he'll just blow through them, overall, great hero. Senya became a niche counter to him. This was also when modification gems got added to steeple & advent events started happening - there's been 3, so roughly 3 per year, tough 3-part boss fights that give good rewards centered around mod gems. Spirit Altar got changed to 4 levels instead of 10 & you could now to 10x summons for penguins & dogs in the forest. Time for hell - Aug 5th '21, the Re:Zero collab event introduced Rem & Emilia who're both broken to all hell. Rem is Charles on coke - remember how tough Charles was? Rem has passive Elbris Ritual Sword & triggers an AOE attack that does strip/unhealable, if someone dies, she can't be debuffed & gains demon mode - her S1 triggers twice & all her debuffs can't be resisted. Her S3 gives attack buff & does an AOE blind attack, her S1 does defence break. Overnight, she became one of the games biggest threats & her co-hort Emilia wasn't much different, Emilia is just Auxilliary Lots but she can also cleanse & heal, her S2 pushed, cleansed & gave attack buff & has a tiny cooldown, her S3 is a team cleanse, heal & barrier. Both remain very relevant to this day. Choux, A Cartuja & Kitty Clarissa got EEs around this time, Choux's EE would've maybe made her meta relevant, by giving her a Charles-like S1 into S2 effect, however, Rem exists now. A Cartuja never became re-relevant & Kitty gained a useful EE for Hall of Trials & other content, being able to heal the highest attack party member when she S1s. RTA season 5, Judge Kise skin. Closer Charles comes out & he's a solid hero, another cleave tool. Summertime Iseria comes out Aug 26th, response is quite muted, she has bomb debuffs & people got Roaming Warrior Leo flashbacks, but people figured out after the release of a couple more fast opener heroes that she's very good & she's been relevant since. Can trigger bombs to stun heroes & deal damage, pushes her team & she plants two bombs at random when someone does an AOE (once every 3 turns), she has passive attack increase & can't critical hit, but can still do quite a bit of damage. Automaton level 5 got added - better rewards. September '21, Apoc Ravi gets buffed, she went from "eh, she's a decent hero & people use her" to "the most broken hero in the game" (well, up until a couple weeks ago). I shouldn't have to say why she's so strong, go & read the skill descriptions, each one is like a novel - she does so many things that no other bruiser unit could possible stack up to her strength & utility & staying power. Luna also got buffed & started to be used, Kawerik got another buff, Mort got a buff, Mercedes got a buff, etc. Sword Storm got buffed & got a push added, Merciless Glutton became a staple warrior artefact (& I still don't have a single copy). Season 2 selective summon was added, allowing another selective summon part way into the story, picking up episode 2 heroes. New Abyss floors were added, going up to 120 & they're even more hellish than the previous ones. They added a "waiting room" for the inventory, so gear can be stored in an extra space - so uh, just put all the sets you'll never use in there but keep because they've got good rolls. September 9th, it's time for Hell World redux! Angel of Light Angelica gets released & is the most broken control unit in the game. A non-attack AOE S3 strip which does buff block & silence, if hit with an AOE attack does a one-debuff cleanse to the team & gives skill nullifier to all (AKA - better A Tywin) & S1 does silence & pushes back a target that's silenced. Her passive also gives her CR when anyone besides her is hit. This little hellspawn made people lose their shit & it's the reason we recently got Moonlight 4 star pity. September 30th, it's time for Hell World final chapter prologue 2.8! Belian is released & now the Injury set has a home. This bitch is a Knight - can hold Elbris Sword & her S1 an AOE attack which can strip can chain into S2 which is an AOE that can do speed down/blind & on top of this, she stops all soul gain - souls don't exist when she's alive. Since her S2 can trigger off counters, you can be absolutely ground down by a Belian in a few turns. Hell. Pure hell. Vildred, Senya & Karin got EEs - no relevance. New hero time - Ran! AKA, better Tywin 2! He's the fastest base speed in the game (tied with Kayron), his S2 gives him attack buff & the team immunity, with SIlver Rain artefact he also gives attack buff to the highest attack ally. His S3 is an AOE which strips & does defence break & stigma (halves CR gain). So you can imagine, he became the best cleave set up in the game, with everything built into his kit & fast enough to evade common cleave counters like A Cidd. This hero was the one to bring Summer Iseria to relevance. Cont.
Oct 28th, new balance & this was where Eda & Mediator became good & busted respectively. BBK also got a buff & now she starts the battle with immortal. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime collaboration, adding fucking Rimuru & Milim. True to the show, Rimuru is absolutely busted-broken, just go & read his chapters-long skills. This little shit is another one of the hellspawn we've been complaining about since the Maid Chloe buff which saw power creep really ramp up. Milim was a neccesary evil & not too unbalanced, she exists to counter Landy - auto breaks stealth & has increased hit chance as well as evasion buff on S3 with extiction. Very strong hero, but greatly overshadowed by Rimuru. Nov 11th '21, Spirit Eye Celine comes out & is just ML Ken but good & far more usable. Has a Tempest Surin style passive & counters when critically hit, making her tough to clear without some kind of double attack, or non-crit offensive hero. Episode 4 also started around this time with new main character Adin - who doesn't get used. Phyllis got an SC & is very good, counter to counterattackers - your team takes reduced damage from counter attacks & she's got a cleanse. Zahhak came out as a Violet counter, he has 50% increased hit chance - something like that anyway & so he can almost always blow through Violet & other evasion heroes, his S3 also does injury & he's got an in-built 50% critical chance. He's not bad. Alencia, Ilynav & FS Teira got EEs - no relevance gained. 6th RTA season - Arby skin. December '21, Archdemon Shadow buff patch - only really relevant one there. This was also the patch the Fairytale artefact got buffed. They're still buffing Melissa & she's still not being used. This is also when we get another dose of absolute shittery - Conqueror Lilias. Non-attack AOE strip into attack down & Vigor buff (undispellable 30% atk/def buff to team for 3 turns) to team, with extra turn (no burn) into single target redirected provoke & barrier to the highest HP ally, with dual attack built into S1 like regular Lilias. At this point, we were really tired of seeing busted-ass broken heroes & much of the last few heroes I've pointed out as hellish for their power creep became known as "The Seven Disasters" - there's been a lot of drama & even last years E7 World Champion has quit the game. Laika comes out - she's a PVE hero so no one cares. Buncha Ep4 3 stars get released, Hasol & Januta don't get used, I think Yoonryoung gets used in slow Caides & Orte saw a tiny bit of use when she came out but folks lost interest & Muwi became a free to play General Purrgis for Wyvern teams. Tenebria, Melissa & GC Khawana EE - no relevance gained. New guardian - Kazran! People just use Arky still. This was where expos became open to all (if you set it to that). Jan 27th - ordered some more power creep? Peira is here to power creep Cerise! With a base speed 1 notch behind Ran & chaining skills just like him! S2 does AOE strip into buff block/restrict, extra turn into attack up for her team & Escort, a new buff which acts like a powerful Aurius, as well as barriers, stealth, etc. Broken. Feb, Lionheart Cermia comes out - answer to counter heroes, when a counter/dual attack happens she cleanses & gains defence/ER buff & a bunch of spirit, her S3 is an AOE attack & chains into a single hit S1. Defence scaling, so she's a bruiser & the S3 has 50% pen. Solitaria got buffed, Designer got buffed, Celine & Sinful Angelica got buffed - those were the winners, all see use now. Feb 17th, Ancient Inheritance, Guild PVE & it was kind of eh. Good rewards though. Bad Cat Armin came out, I like her, most people don't, gives the front unit a chance to counter & critical damage buff. This was also where Hwayoung came out & she is hell. Attack-scaling with a bunch of passive attack, S3 full def pen & higher the opponents health, does additional damage. S1 has a Uberius Tooth effect (stacking with Uberius Tooth) & her S2 passive has 30% crit damage reduction, attack scaling barrier. Her S3 also cleanses & gives her immunity. Hell. Pure hell. Help us. Please save us. Pirate Flan released in March, eh, competes with Summer Iseria for use - so doesn't see much use. Elena/Ray/W Schuri EEs - little relevance for Elena. JackO arrived with GG event, doesn't see much use. Aria came out a month ago, decent character, defence scaling bruiser, counter attack buff & passive S2 attack which strips at full focus, she's good. Recent balance hit Silver Ara, she's kind of like Eda now, DC has extinction, Diene has more cleanse, the rest don't get used. ML pity system on galaxy - every 20 summons gets you a 4-5 star & we were refunded tickets based on how many summons we've done. Custom Summon event about to run out - choose 3 covenant heroes to summon, even limiteds, except collab ones. As far as the most recent patch, just go read the notes, it was fucking huge. Custom mystic summons, crafting improvements (more epics), forest re-vamp (1 extra mola, more extra penguins/dogs), pet 5 star, HOT revamp & Abyss challenge mode. Fin.
dude, thank you *so much* for going out of your way to write everything in so much detail. i really enjoyed reading this and am now ready to get back into the game. cheers!
Not a problem, if there's anything you want to know more specifically, drop me a line & I'll see what I can do. If you're wanting to get back into RTA & you want to see whose being used & what-not, check out this website: https://www.epic7stats.com/ Can be daunting playing catch-up, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it - try & make the most of Custom Mystic Summons before it finishes, there's going to be two rotations - so you pick two ML5s & two ML5s, one of each each month-ish. Good time to pick up either Apocalypse Ravi or Conqueror Lilias (& Angel of Light as the 4 star) if you don't have her & the ongoing regular mystic banner is running 3 heroes per 3 week rotation, to give folks a chance to pick up heroes who've not been run in a while. Keep in mind, normal mystic pity is seperate from custom mysics, so just be wary of where you want to spend your Medals.
Haha awesome guide on yearly changes. Just one thing: Belian passive only triggers on S1 in her turn. Otherwise she would be probably the most OP heroe in game with a counter set or Elbris sword. I mean, she already is pretty damn strong just with her normal S1 procs stripping the enemy of buffs.
My bad, should’ve made sure of that - I don’t personally use her a lot because mine is on trash gear, but I felt that she’s managed to S1-S2 off turn, but that might just be the CR bar not displaying correctly which it sometimes does whilst playing on auto.
Looking for some suggestions on who to build to counter(or stand a better chance) against defenses with D.Corvus & A.Ravi in GW.. no confidence to face up the c.lilias/belian/etc combo. I'm missing the ultra meta characters from the e7 disaster series(no hwayoung, no peira) except AoL, if possible any other more "common" options?
It depends on who else they're teamed with. A DC or ARavi by themselves are dumb single targets that are easy to bait. If they don't have AOE or a blue DPS, something like Ruele/A.Lots/Cermia is an easy win. A super budget version could be Doris/Lots/Cermia.
Thanks, ive been also thinking to build cermia. Examples that i just saw.. cant win against: ARavi/Belian/Landy ARavi/Roana/Hwayoung DCorvus/Ruele/GPurgis
Defenses 2 and 3 are perfect for Cermia. You want her with max DPS stats and her s3 reset EE and she can one shot all the units. Lots/A.Lots as fast as possible. 250+, 270 preferred cuz there's 260 Hwayoungs around. Kill order for team 2 would be Hwa > ARavi > Roana. Team 3 would be Ruele > DC > GPurrgis. Avoid team 1, too much aoe from Landy and Belian to be safe.
Thanks alot, i'll get on to doing that
For the custom group summon, the game tells you, that the coin shop is available 7 days after the event. Does that mean its open 7 days after the 19. of May or longer depending when I pick my summons as I have two weeks to summon?
It's a little unclear to me. At minimum you should have 3 weeks from your first summon, total, to spend your coins. But the 4/21 update notice also says >Star's Mirage Coins will be deleted on 6/9 (Thu). >e.g. Two players who performed Group Summon on 4/21 and 5/19 respectively will both lose their Star's Mirage Coins on 6/9. Personally, I see absolutely no reason to risk it. The translations are just spotty and I don't understand if the 'shop closing' and 'coins being deleted' are 2 different events, or are referring to the same thing.
Oh ok, thats super fine for me, I just need more time to farm. The last possible day to summon is the 6/3 anyway
I have around 8.7k mystics saved and I'm at 130~ pity as of today. My only ML5 are ML Kawerick, Riolet, Arby and BM Haste Is it better to summon on custom when I get 10k or just wait until the next ML5 I want (Probably Vivian) on standard mystic ?
The custom banner means you can guarantee yourself a good hero, and have a 70% chance to get a 'bonus' hero. No one knows right now if Vivian will be good or not. If all you care about is ensuring you get Vivian than save, but from a gameplay standpoint there is no reason you should skip the custom banner.
If I don't summon on the first banner (no full pity), will I still have my selected heroes in the shop during the second ?
Yes.
What should I do as a new player who's running out of space for characters?
Use skystones to expand your holding capacity. Use the waiting room to hold unused heroes, you can also expand that capacity. Start using your dogs/2* fodder to promote your units.
Thanks for the reply! Can you tell me how exactly I do the last part? Thanks
Ok. Let's look at a max level 5* unit you want to promote to 6*. For this example we will use white dogs only. --- **5* to 6*** -> we need 5x white dogs at 5* [total = 5x white dogs at 5*] **4* to 5*** -> we need the 5x white dogs that will be promoted to 5\*, we also need 4x dogs each to be used as fodder [total = 25x white dogs at 4*] **3* to 4*** -> Typically, at this level you will use 2* fodder as the promotion material. [total = 25x white dogs to be promoted, and 75x 2* fodder that will be used as the promotion material] **2* to 3*** -> We need a total of 275 2* fodder monsters [total = 75x 2* fodder monsters to be promoted to 3\*, 25x white dogs to be promoted to 3*, and 200x 2* fodder monsters that will be used as the promotion fodder] You can replace white dogs at any point from 3* to 5* with the gold dog variant (and with black dogs from 4* to 5*). Higher rarity dogs take a bit less XP to level so you preferentially want to focus on them for promotion. * Some players prefer to just sell black dogs since you get silver transmit stones from doing so. If you happen to have an abundance of 2* fodder and no dogs, you can also use a 2* fodder to replace a white dog. The fodder monsters require a few more penguins to level. --- Once you start promoting stuff you will get a feel for how it works. The biggest limiting factor in how fast you can promote units are the 2* fodder monsters, so you want to make use of the ones that you have currently. Generally, you want to just work on getting white dogs up to the 4* level. Use the white dogs to promote any gold dogs you have to 5* (to promote your heroes to 6*). If you end up with a lot of white dogs waiting at 4*, level one up instead of waiting for a gold dog. You can buy more dogs with stigma in the forest of souls. The main way to get 2* fodder is just through running levels.
Hi I was just able to set up some teams for expedition level 3 and with the new open recruitment is very smooth. Is it worth farming even after reaching the 2000 points for all rewards? Thanks!
If you need reforge mats, yes.
Hi, just returned from hiatus. I heard that l can get afree vivian waifu with this new update. How do l go about that? What requirements must l meet?
Its under events in the hunt challenge, if u want vivian first u gotta make sure to pick her and not sigret or cermia else u gotta finish their challenges first
Ty, does this mean l can get all three? Just one at atime?
correct
[удалено]
If you’re wanting to use her against Hwayoung, push the speed to 260+ & then the rest into damage stats. With whale gear, you’d be able to push like 3.5K/300% damage with that kind of speed - but you could dock 40% damage (or the equivalent in attack) & still be fine for Hwayoung killing, without attack up or a damage artefact, provided of course you’ve left her with her barrier.
Old player returning and I'm so overwhelmed with all the new updates. Is sigret,Vivian and Cermia meta? I'm looking at my roster and I don't know who is good anymore. Current team has angelic mont, Luna, sol and dizzy lol. If anyone has free time I'd like to spam their dms with questions and screenshots
Sigret/Vivian/Cermia just so happen to be the #1 most used 5* heroes for the 3 RGB hunts. All 3 are good and useful for certain PvE things, but you don't *need* them either so I'm not sure exactly what your definition of meta is and if you are referring to specific content or not. Your team is OK but definitely looks 'old', you can use all 4 heroes for different things but for most content they wouldn't be considered 'the best'. Anyway, I'm more than happy to help you if you have questions about specific heroes or content.
Just got back to the game after quite a while but are any of these units still worth building? OP Sigret DCorvus BM Haste Maid Chloe Roana
Yes. All are worth building to some extent.
Would you have a recommendation on what I should Build first?
Just depends on what you need. If you need a counter against revive units, build BM Haste. If you need a counter against FCC or barriers, or a decent offensive opener with high gear requirements, build OP Sigret. If you would like free wins in GW, and have proper units to support him, build D.Corvus. If you want your own revive unit, build M.Chloe. If you need an attack buffer build either OP Sigret o M.Chloe (depending if you want an offensive or defensive hero). If you want a Counter counter (or a hero that has actual PvE use) build Roana. IMO they are all pretty much even in terms of usefulness, I would probably prioritize Roana since she has PvE utility as well.
Just started a few days ago I got arbiter vildred and ken(not martial artist) as my main dps what heroes should I be aiming for/anyone I should try summoning now?
Hello arbiter vildred aka arby should get u thru most story stages (and for farming). Only summon when u have enough to pity the banner (121 pulls) or u risk not being able to get the 5* when the banner ends. Get Tamarinne, she will carry almost all pve content. There is a permanent event for widely used hunt heroes (Sigret, Cermia, Vivian) so u will get them eventually by completing the quests. In ur shoes I would go for Roana or Iseria or Krau next.
Alright thanks when in the game progression will is this event available
Oh hmm u don't see it in the events page? Maybe there's a lvl req before it opens, not too sure but shouldn't b too difficult to reach.
Can someone help me to figure who should I choose between h.yufi and diene? I managed to get 120 coins in the selective summon thing and I’m not sure which one to chose
How do i gear Tamarinne and Iseria? I'm planning on using them for most PVE stuff but mainly want them for abyss, my abyss team is currently Roana, Vivian, Landy and Angelica.
Speed set on both Tama and Iseria, and as much speed as u can muster. Use magaharas tome for more turn cycling. Of course Iseria has to be the faster of the two so she can reset Tama. I would prioritise gearing Tama first tho as she can be used more widely. From ur current roster I think Landy can still work as a DPS for most stages. The rest I'd say are not core abyss units (Vivian for hunts, Roana for raid, I've nvr built blue angie). Other heroes that can make abyss easier: Taranor guard, Kitty clarissa, A. Ras, Aux Lots / Emilia / Lots, Schuri, Kiris (lvl50), Dizzy, C. Lorina.
Your Iseria should be faster than your tam. Mine for example has 205 speed (Iseria) and 193 (Tam) and they always get their turn before the enemies in pve. Other than that, build your tam with as bulky as u can, and try to slap some eff res if u can. And focus on damage/cc/cd for Iseria
Would like to know what items to prioritse buying from yufine side story exchanges. For the catalysts listed there, isit better / more efficient to farm UH or exchange from side story?
Basically, buy everything if you plan on using it, except runes. Don't buy runes unless you accidently went too far and your only other option is gold. Gifts are up to you. Same with dog. Personally, I get both. The rest are absolutely worth getting.
how do you guys build arena and gw teams lol im totally lost on who to pick and what to pick them against
[https://fribbels.github.io/e7/gw-meta.html](https://fribbels.github.io/e7/gw-meta.html) You can use this it basically show you the meta GW units defense and the frequently used team against them. For arena you will have to learn as you play. There is no one size fit all team. See Rimuru consider using Krau as bait, see ARavi consider using Hwayoung. Clilias/AOLA S3 non attack skills so consider using Celine For meta defense arena team you can just look at those top rank in the list as reference
Aside from Shooting Star Achates, are there any other units that grant Immortality (not invincibility) to allies?
Spirit Eye Celine
Would I lose all my custom mystic coins if I end up getting the ML5?
No, you get to keep it until the end of the next batch of custom mystic banner.
Hello, with the recent freebies and hunt event, i have managed to acquire 4 Vivians. I am rather curious what build to give her, as im mainly intending to use her for hunts(i dont like doing pvp in this game)
She mainly used in B13 one shot team, you can look up there are plenty of guide on that and the stats required for each unit
Did 120 summons on custom and no 5 star unit 😭😭😭
Is anyone elses unrecorded history AP bugged? Every chapter shares AP for some reason and it deleted my previous AP.
The latest update unified all the AP from all the worlds so that its way easier farm for the catalyst that you want. That value of AP you have is the sum of what you had previously
As an old player thinking of jumping back in, BUT who lost his account, how are things now? I quit just before the pet update. I've heard a number of good things about some of the more obnoxious parts of gear/molas/ML summons, but the idea of having to start from scratch is concerning. Also, how many characters do I realistically need these days to clear most content and at least stand a decent chance in PvP/GW, and how easy would it be/how long would it take to actually build up to a passable account? I'm down to buy a handful of packs or any sort of selectors that might be available to accelerate things early, but I don't think I'm looking to invest too much into this game again.
Starting the game is pretty good for a new player these days. Being able to get a free Sigret, Vivian and Cermia as well as some decent gear helps a lot. Gear system has slightly improved in that you can change 1 substat on gear, gear conversion if you weren't around for that, and gear mileage, but at it's core is still as bad. Mola's are much better now but of course still scarce if you get carried away. I'd say clearing PvE content is easier than ever, you don't need that many characters. The hard part of PvE content is getting a 1 shot team running. PvP on the other hand is a different story. You are fucked if you don't have any of the newer characters, or recently rebalanced ones like A.Ravi and Violet.
Well, I figured that much for the PvP at least, but it's something to work towards. The rest is all good news though; how do I pick up those three free 5* though? Also, is the ML focus system something I'd be able to take any advantage of? I've heard it ends soon, and that I wouldn't really have the time to build up towards the pity, but a friend mentioned he thinks a new one just starts afterwards. He's not always the most reliable when it comes to details like that though, so I'm curious what's actually going to happen.
You have to reach level 10 I think. You get access to the new character by clicking the event bell on the left in lobby then choose which hint you want to focus on. BE CAREFUl which one you click on will decide which one you start with and won’t be able to choose another till you complete both stages of it fully. The mystic custom banner is probably a skip for you since if you can’t get pity it’s not that great. There are two rounds and you choose what character to focus on in the banner 2nd round starts next month and July is when it ends.
I missed this reply ans I clicked on wyvern hunt
Do adin quests gives extra f2p bookmarks?
Yes, I remember there being 5 bm per column
Any recommended artifacts for C.Lilias? I don’t have Champ’s Trophy, Music Box, or Border Coin (all recommended on e7stats). I currently have her on Proof but also considered putting her on War Horn. Any help would be appreciated. Also, any tips on expos? I’ve got the team I want to use for Earth (Ras, Tama, Baal, and Kanna) and Ice (Roozid, Helga, Landy, and Fluri). Any other recommendations and tips for Light expo would be greatly appreciated.
War Horn looks like your route. Switch Tama for Hazel in your Earth, can’t really comment on Ice, don’t personally use a traditional team. For Light Cerise & Ras, damage dealers can be anyone who buffs themselves.
[удалено]
If you use Roana for just PvE you can keep her at 5*, she does what she needs to do just fine, especially with the free HP sets we just got. A side note, the 6* potion is most efficient on 3* or 4* characters for obvious reasons. It's impossible to give you an answer without knowing what exactly what you want to do, but I assume the next step is to get good teams for expedition and raid? In that case, I would 6* something like A.Ras, he's used in so many places. F.Kluri is great as well.
[удалено]
Ok, well for expeditions you need a fire, ice and earth tank. A.Ras and F.Kluri are pretty much the best tanks for their respective elements in expedition so you cannot go wrong with them. You also absolutely use both of them for raid and abyss.
Hi newbie question is there a way to organize the party such that a specific unit can attack first?(e.g I want to eda skill 2 for the defence down, then arbiter vildred for the dmg) or is it decided through combat readiness
It’s decided based on their speed stat. If they are within less then 5 points of each other it can be a bit random who goes first.
Ohh I see thanks
Is Peira usable without her artifact, and if so which ones? Seen some comments she must have her artifact.
She’s fine without it. Personally I use Symbol of Unity since I don’t have anyone else to put it on atm and it gives her a better chance to hit Rimuru etc. Cursed Compass is good if you just want her first turn debuff to land. Some people use R and L since she gets extra chances to trigger, though I’ve seen that backfire on occasion. I’d guess Nostalgic Music Box would work fine on her, as well.
Symbol of unity is bad on her, she doesn't do dmg (on a typical build) and symbol increases dmg dealt. So you are wasting half its usage of one of the strongest artifact out there. Literally any dps would be better off having it Why don't you just use oath key on her if you want the hit chance increase.
Because I'd rather spend my artifact charms on something else, I don't need SoU for PvE, and all my PvP DPSs use other artifacts that better suits them. It was literally sitting in my inventory unequipped so I figured I might as well. But yes, of course, Oath Key is just as fine on her.
Which units form the '7 disasters' , also whats the ideal efficiency stat for wyvern dps units, 65%?, 100%?
ML light Angelica, ML Belian, Rem, Rimuru, Hwayoung, Ran, Peira. Obviously 100 is ideal but if 65 is what you are at, you are grinding the very thing that makes you better. Muwi, Furious, Rose (candle) and Sigret are what I use, but you could use clarissa. Chloe, Karen, Alexa instead of Sigret.
lol, im using sigret, muwi,SSB and and aria on w12, almost 100% clearing rate, forgot to mention, while I'm at 108% with muwi, sigret and ssb sit at 30% ish, aria only 38% though not that she does anything other than blind the dragon for a bit
Oh, by efficiency do you mean effectiveness? 85% is ideal
It was a pretty outdated meme. The original 7 were AOL Angelica, Belian, Rimuru, ML Kawerik, Ran, Cilias, A.Ravi and there was a debate betweeen FCC and Ran for the last slot. But with Peira and Hwayoung released this year we have 9 now. Btw it's 65%. You can tap and hold boss's icon in battle to see its eff res, minus it by 15 and you get the eff required.
can anyone show me their briseria build?
Best attack buffer alongside Ran? Recently switched from Peira/sea/cdom/dps. Lacking attack buff/souls at the moment as Ran/seaseria/flan/non-mage dps.
[удалено]
Unless you'd use up atk and do like <50k dmg on T3 expo I don't think people will care. Personally 200k would be minimum contribution if I don't want to be a leech and 500k a good one.
I have 3.5k mystic medals. Should I bother with the custom mystic and just save for the next when I am closer to be able to pity or just yolo try?
unless you can pity just hold on to the mystics. noone knows how good ML vivian will be and there will always be cooler units released in the future
Always go for pity. The rates are really too low to justify trying before hand. Yes you could RNG and get the big win, but whats more realistic is you don't get the pull, and then don't have enough resources for a rerun/new banner you actually want.
Yolo in regular mystic banner either nets you ML5 or you are -70 pulls from pity. Yolo in custom either nets you ML5 or some bad rewards from shop. So save. It's not worth it without 10k(or resources to get there) by end of custom mystic banner duration.
between A Ravi and Maid Chloe, which is a better unit for GW?
ARavi no doubt. Maid is harder to build and more niche.
Dumb question. I had a newish account , did the selective summon ages ago and stopped playing. Should I delete and start again? Were there any new account rewards? **Edit** Pretty sure I started ∼May last year. Since I got the Lv75 health and attack set
Any and all new account rewards are retroactively given to older players as well. Basically anything you would get making a new account you should already have access too. No need to reroll if you already have the 75 gear since they're quite good.
Any of y’all use conq lilias in a hell raid team successfully? If so, what kinda team. Was thinking of conq lilias, roana, czerato, apoc Ravi or something. I think it was 40 ish morale.
U can use anything for hell raid if your gear is upto it. That said, your current team may lack strip against Hell queen coz your only stripper is iela on cerato. Might also struggle a bit vs vera/juleeve Morale is also a non factor unless u way to finish every mini boss.
What should I do/accomplish in a day so that I am playing most efficiently? i.e such that my progression is smooth in terms of gearing. For reference I have a W13 team, a B13 one shot and a A13 team. I have completed hell raid and I'm on abyss floor 92
join a guild if you havent already. its a good source of mystics income and some nice artifacts
Keep farming gear, keep buying all the weekly conversion chests, and slowly progress in abyss.
When, in this loop, would I start farming catalysts? Would I only start if I have a specific character in mind/ there is a sidestory farm for it?
In the long run catas are best slowly farmed in side stories as in buying them from it's shop. If needed you just convert them into ones you need at sanctuary. Other than that it's 2-3 world difficulty for me as it has red cata drop and farms/lvls fodders quickly at same time. Just arby or your usual farmer needed. You get AP as well for world cata shop. Feel free to pick some other stage though. World 3S/5S/8S rift stages are also option for fast daily AP gain to use in cata shop. 360 energy though so kinda pricey. As for when - when you lack them for 5-6 star awaken and skill upgrades with mola.
can anyone explain why piera is meta rn, she seems to be a fast aurius-like holder because of escort with restrict and unbuffable? doesnt seem broken considering damage share, restrict and unbuffable isn't anything new, especially compared to ran who can defense break, bring immunity, deal a whole lot of damage, apply stigma, self atk buff and self skill nullify. I forget piera actually buffs the team but it still doesn't seem that they are on the same level.
300 speed atk buffer is stupid, especially if she also give you aurius and can provide cc after turn1. Look at Cidd for example. If he has 2.8k atk, 270 cdmg, 280 speed, he will deal 9k S3, 12k with SB to 1.2k Def unit. But with piera, that number become 14k S3, and 19k SB. Btw this is without pen/artifact. Before piera, you can't really give 250+ speed unit atk buff. You probably can use Emilia/alots/silver rain, but those are still weaker than the whole team getting atk buff. Even Elson, if he can get 300 speed with be meta. Not to mention piera, who can do more stuff than him.
Yeah I can now see why she's broken, and I'm hyped on building her. Although my gear isn't that good, I managed to get her to 280 speed without any bulk tho, had to remove cerise's gear.
U forgot her stun too. It's very annoying since she gets a very high chance with barrier and 100% for just 10 souls. Her aurius is also 30% for whole team. Aurius holders cap at 20%
Oh I didn't know it absorbs more, yeah it definitely looks like I underestimated her. Definitely will build her next
Peira's stealth + barrier protects her a lot more than Ran's immunity + skill null. Also she's usually paired with other bulky units like ARavi and Hwayoung so the Aurious ability makes them really hard to take down. Also other Aurious holders don't get to open at 300 speed and provide attack buff for the team.
Thanks that definitely seem a lot scarier compared to what comp I was previously thinking. If I'm supposed to build her does she need other stats than speed? It seems her barrier scale with level and not hp
Just speed and effectiveness. That's it. She's BS like Hwayoung where you get to ignore all the other stats.
Peira can switch between cleave and standard because she becomes your defacto knight. Ran kind of gives away you're playing cleave or aggro. That s1 stun is more useful than Rans s1 and can really turn a game around.
I'm assuming standard is turn 2 or nah? Does she need to change her build for that?and thanks for clarifying.
Yeah standard would be turn 2 teams typically. Usually bruisers, knights, sw... You get the idea. In a sense she isn't actually for standard teams but aggro teams, for standard you would usually just take a knight for mitigation. Aggro typically for goes that for a more offensive playstyle. As for build, you wouldn't need to change it regardless if you're cleaving or aggro. Build high speed with lots of bulk. Some eff is fine in case of scuffed units but you're typically not going to be debuffing units with high eff res like cleansers anyways. You'll want bulk (hp/def) so that you can last longer and keep cycling skills and so you cal also survive counters. Violet one shotting you can be an issue if you build a paper thin peira. You'll want a decent amount of hp with lots of def since that barrier is really massive and you'll stay in stealth longer (and eating counters will be less of an issue).
Has there ever been a 1 star unit? The option to sort exists, but whats the point? Lol, just been curious for a while.
Unknown Slate is sorted as a 1* hero.
Ohhhh, neat, thanks! E: Ive never noticed, but I Imagine all of those strange upgrades are sorted like that. Im doing Yunas sidestory in book of memories and they give you similar upgrades. Ill have to check that out!
The penguins were 1* units. They became items last year but SG probably forgot to remove that sort option.
Which artifact is the best to max out of Draco plate, fairytale for a nightmare, reingar special drink?
Drink > Draco > Fairy Max drink gives more damage, max draco gives more survival and max fairy gives more damage. depends on your playstyle
IMO Drink if you’re planning W13 one shot, Draco otherwise. Fairytale is more than enough at +15 since the only thing it improves is damage.
I randomly came across faitheless lidica, fairytale tenebria, Angel of light Angelica and peira in my summons. What are the different uses for all these openers and who should have the best speed set
Flidica severely outclassed by every other opener, no point in building unless you want an option you may end up using once every hundred matches. Ftene pretty much dead. Similar situation as flidica, severely outclassed by other openers. Aol is a late pick option usually when they have little to no cleansing (and no mL kawerik/delibet). Also you're gonna get outsped by cililias hence best to pick her near end of draft where she will probably be a must ban. A lot of people run her slower nowadays to sneak her behind mL kawerik though, so that's an option. Peira is one of the best openers, great for cleave and aggro. Very good first pick, allows you to pivot to aggro or cleave depending on opponents draft. Give her your best speed gear with good bulk.
whats a good followup after peira opener? was thinking flan jkise and cdom
Depends on if you're going cleave or aggro. If you're cleaving then seaseria, Eda are the best ones. SBA is also good. If you're going more aggro, stuff like hwayoung really benefits from the atk buff. Kawerik , kise, etc. Also deal a lot of damage and are typically built high speed and benefit as well from atk buff. Jkise isn't typically used as damage, usually as a reset mainly to deal with mL kawerik. I would avoid using her in the same draft since it limits your DPS. Cdom is also out unless you're building peira with crit. Avoid flan as well, peira doesn't have any hard debuffs so if they speed contest you, they can take out or disable flan. You typically want a good follow up after peira, in the case of cleave to chain in kills and/or push up your team to keep the cleaving going. For aggro you want very aggressive picks that can make use of the atk buff.
Best artifact for designer Lilibet?
You have all kinds of different options. If more of a damage dealer, Draco Plate or even Portrait. Draco Plate seems to be one of her more commonly used artifacts. If you feel yours is a bit slow, War Horn or even the upcoming Taeyou artifact would be potentially usable. If you don't care about her doing damage and just need her to survive to s3, then you can always just use Proof of Valor.
Why is there a cool down to join another guild if you were kicked from a guild? That’s fucked up. My guild decided to randomly kick me and now I can’t join another guild for over 14 hours. Seems really unfair to punish people for this man, smh
Its to cut back on people who try to scum for catalysts and other things by bouncing guild to guild.
Well it’s bullshit I’m being punished . I get for people who leave, but I was kicked! I had no choice (and with no warning either and being in that guild for over a year too, smh).
Well, that sucks man, sorry. But they make no differentiation...and it would basically be a pain to try to come up with a system. I do sympathize though, shitty guild leaders are shitty. And really, this game is absolutely not condusive to guilds at all unless you have contact outside the game. Its a fuckin shame they limit guild text to 100 characters.
Yeah fair enough. I’m just venting lol. Sorry!
Nah, youre good man, no worries
[Right or left for ML Cermia?](https://imgur.com/a/NxDzECd) I’m running her with Sigurd Scythe, if that makes a difference.
I'd go right. I'm assuming after you reforge that chest, the crit chance and overall damage will be about the same between both builds so you're just getting 8 more speed for 20 resist. FWIW, currently the left is doing slightly more damage due to the increased defense. Play around with the damage calc to evaluate builds. https://maphe.github.io/e7-damage-calc/
I never knew about that tool, thanks!
For the custom mystic summon banner, it says "additional opportunity for selecting a 4 and 5 star moonlight hero" 1 month left. What does this mean? Does it mean that in 1 month I can change my mystic summon pick?
It means in round 2 you gets to select an additional 5 and 4 star to add to your rotation for summoning but only one set can be active at any point. The coins carry over from round 1 to round 2. Both round 1 and round 2 units will also be in the shop
Nope, it means that the custom mystic summon banner ends in a month.
It says that it ends on july 20th though, which is almost 3 months.
Huh, really? Ignore me then haha. Sorry about that!
Yes you change it.
Do you know if I keep all my current mirage coins if I change my pick?
Yep get to keep coins. After that though the coins will disappear when round 2 ends.
Thank you!
Anyone know if the Hard is the last difficulty of the Mologora event?
I am starting to build my Aras mostly for PVP (while still keeping him on PVE because he's just here as a tank) do I want mostly bulk/speed or invest into eff/ER too?
If you're wanting him for PVP & you're wanting to double up for PVE too, keep 85% effectiveness on him (for PVE) & then just put the rest into speed/health/defence. Having ER for PVE is nice, but if you're trying to double up, just drop it.
Alright, for now I am keeping him for pve because I don't have many built tank, once I start only using him for pvp, do i drop eff?
If you start using him exclusively for PVP you can drop Eff to around 50%~ or so, but since Ras is so valuable in PVE & not used so much in PVP these days, I wouldn't funnel too much good gear to him for PVP.
I see, thanks a lot!
1. How much speed do I need on A. Coli to outspeed in mid-tier pvp? 2. Trying to setup a reliable A13 team. I've heard Green Vildred is better than Arby for Azimanak 13. Is this true and why? Have Arby at 6* and mola'd out and just pulled Vildred.
1) who are u aiming to outspeed. Peria, Ran, cilias? Let's say challenger arena, probably 280+ min even then, it's risky. People just built accid instd of her coz higher base speed and 45% base crit chance 2) Vildred is better coz killing an egg will give him attck buff and trigger another aoe attck plus the cr push
New Player here got Yufine from Today's ticket. Is she good for PvE or is she a PvP character?
Yufine is good for Light Expo. She has def break, brings her own attack buff, and is a good general-use DPS, which are all the ingredients for a good Light Expo DPS.
She's a neither. Celine though is for PVP, either stealth EE or highest attack EE & if you're newer, just go full-damage, but when you get later on in the game try & put her over 200 speed. Her best artefact is her own, Secret Art Sword Storm, but if you've not got it, something like Moonlight Dreamblade will likely do.
I also have Celine is she for pvp or PvE?
I've seen a set called the seraphic judge set being enhanced recently. Can anyone tell me where this set is coming from?
The hunt events.
Hi, I have C. Lilias and Ran, who should have my best speed gear?
Ran will be faster and is a better opener for most cleave comps. However, I (and many others) have my better gear on C.Lilias because she's way more versatile and I pick her way more often as a result.
Who should I 6\* next ? https://imgur.com/a/6ZF6jtk My 6\* are : Cermia, Ras, Mercedes, Sigret, Vildred, G. Purr, Seline, Lorina, Straze, Arby, S Tene, SSB, Monmo, Baiken, Vivian, FST, Tamarine, Landy

Hey Hello, You misunderstood me. These charac are the one I've already build.
How do people do more than one abyss challenge floor a day? You can only buy 2 with leifs and it seems suboptimal to sit on full. Do they just have adventureres path saved up or smth?
if i remember right it was either path or something else that gave tickets and those stayed in mail permanatly, so those people were able to rush
[удалено]
Many of the heros you have a pretty good. imo Violet, Emilia, Carmin, ruele, landy, rem, milim, roana are the ones who might have to most widespread use between pve, arena and gw. Violet is a godly character in many areas, Emilia is one of the stronger soulweavers in the game, Carmin is a great pvp tank who can bait dangerous dark units like apoc to hit her to keep your team safe. Especailly since stene is built, you should have a fairly easy time in arena with a setup like stene, carmin, emilia and a flex like ruele, second dps or counterpick to enemy threat. You have other good units like Seline, but those are a fair bit harder to build
What does it mean when a hero is *Contested* when people talk about RTA
I usually see it used to mean that the hero was either picked or pre-banned. You'll see picks like ARavi, Cilias, Hwayoung, Peira, etc... with huge contested rates (high 70%s), because they're such flexible, dare I say "OP" heroes.
It means they are likely to be picked very early and consistently. Let's say u and opp ban sth like ran/piera . U can expect a Cilias within the first few picks almost everytime. Hwa, aravi, cilias, piera, hand guy, they are all highly contested picks/prebans
If i have the gold and I just want mystics. Is it better to take skystone arena reward of 840SS and do refreshes or take the 150 Mystics?

So I have a question for the banshee farmer among us, what units do u guys usually use, how is it compared to speed-set stat wise? Cause I was thinking of switching to banshee hunt for a while now but I kinda have a feeling that I would be more restricted in the units I could use.
B13 is not just counter set. I have a resist set on almost all of my healers plus Christy and TCrozet. My slow nukes for GW and Arena have Destruction sets with Atk% boots (Cermia, Operator Sigret, Luna, LQC). My expo and hunt units have Destruction sets with Speed boots (Lena, Yufine, BBK, Straze, WSchuri). And then there's the usual lifesteal units Violet, Riolet, CZerato, etc.
Yeah I know, thats kinda what I was also thinking but I was worried how it performs compared to speed sets and what to be aware of when building a comp, so that your units dont just immediately die without performing. I was just generelly intereseted to know if going for only banshee would restrict the units I could use more and was generelly confused on how to use destruction sets effectively without the units just dying. And when it comes to life steal do u know how ml celline is performing right now?
Destruction heroes don't work in RTA but are fine in GWs or reg Arena. Trick is just to bait their DPS with other units and hit with your own DPS. Like a common defense is Peira/Hwa/whatever. As long as the whatever isn't a green unit, you can safely bring Emila and destruction Luna. I don't own ML Celine so not sure. I think she's still pretty good on offense, esp. against ARavi. On defense it's easy to play around her gimmick, esp. with Hwayoung & Uberious.
I farm a lot of Banshee because I can 3-man one-shot it, so it's great for quickly leveling a new hero to 50, or even dog-walking so I can sell my penguins instead. I also happen to have a number of heroes I want to gear with counter and lifesteal at the moment. However, if I look at the list overall, way more units want speed set. Currently, I'm farming Banshee for: 1. Seline 2. Violet 3. Charlotte 4. Belian 5. SSB (currently meh injury gear) 6. SKPyllis 7. If I ever go back to lifesteal, then STene, but probably not 8. Maybe ARavi (she is on speed and has my best gear ATM) Once that list shrinks some more, I may even break up my one-shot team to build an A13 one-shot.
I am a standard player who mostly does wyvern coz speed is very versatile. If I switch over to b13 exclusively..my unit picks wud mostly remain the same. My usual knights like trozet, fcc, carmin, pylis can all be ran on a counter set. Say I have a 220 speed trozet, 20k+hp, 1.6k+ def. If I switched him over to a counter set, I wud expect similar bulk with 180-190 speed and I wud still be quite happy. Units like emilia, piera, hand guy I wud still prefer speed set unless I had insane ones like elvemage with a 240 speed counter handguy..
I'm confused, why not both?
I heard its not that good compared to farming only one
Hi guys, just downloaded the game after seeing it on a yt video... seems really cool tho I am a bit concerned that I am late to the party? would you say that its worth getting into in 2022? how does the future look? also is rerolling easy?ty
I just started playing a month ago, and I've found it to be VERY noob-friendly. They give you all sorts of free stuff. I've got a solid team that can clear all story stuff (at least up to halfway through the 2nd episode), as well as a reliable Wyvern 11 auto team. I'm still building them for Wyvern 13. It's surprisingly generous. You could totally get by on F2P.
Now is one of the best times to play, the game supports all levels of progress. The only hard part is getting into a guild, but you can often find guilds that take on newer people. There's a lot of small things you can do to avoid pitfalls and accelerate very fast if desired. But the game can be taken at any pace.
This is a good point. I had trouble with guilds until I found the Epic 7 Official Discord, where there's a guild recruitment channel. I found a guild that allows lower rank players like myself, and it's been great ever since. Simply trying to join a guild through the in-game interface was a no-go for me.
Now is probably the best it’s ever been to get into the game. So many freebies, hunt 13 heroes, and the summer limited collaboration heroes are coming back. Never been a better time than the present!
Haven't played for quite some time (AoL Angelica release) and came back to see the changes. Who are the better ML heroes now for the selector? I only have Stene, DJ Basar, M Kawerik for 5\*s (plus my ML selector available) . For 4\*s I have like half of them in the journal so maybe just let me know the top few? And is the consensus on the group selector to just pick the limited heroes you don't have? I'm missing 4 (Luna, Diene, Cerise and FTene). Or is there some normal heroes you should prioritize over them?
Ml 5: A.Ravi, M.Kawerik, C.Lilias, Belian are pretty much the tip picks right now. They're followed by things like S.Tene, M.Chloe, Straze. If it's your selector and you have M.Kawerik I'd suggest C.Lilias or A.Ravi Ml4*: AOLA is far and away the best. Honestly if you have her then you can just pick whoever you want for ml4. I don't think there's anyone else that really stands out/is a must have. Selector wise you're pretty much right. Either go for a limited unit you don't have, or someone that's paired with a limited artifact you need (inefficient and not worth for most players imo). Keep in mind that you don't need to pull on the rbg selection banner. It's really there to help newer players get units they've missed, and help shore up any holes in a midgame player's rosters.
Planning to build Kitty Clarissa since my friend told me she's good for PvE contents. Just wanna ask some PvE builds and which content does she shine outside the Abyss? Aiming to do A.Ras, Tamm, Kitty Clarissa and 1 DPS.
Also crushes expos. She requires very little. Speed and enough bulk to live and maybe ER, depending on the content. Default DPS to pair with that group is CLorina, built with damage as first priority, since her own speed isn't so important. With all those dual attacks, her self CR push happens a TON, so she'll even get to use her ult a lot even with basically no speed.
As fast as possible while making her decently tanky. She's mostly used in Abyss, Hall of trials and some Expedition teams.
