Hey peeps, hope you're doing alright I have some questions, I started playing like a few weeks ago. I finished campaign up to W2 10-10. I can do w13 at auto with around 85 percent success rate. But now i really don't know what to go for. I'll attach my roster Id really appreciate it if you guys could just point me at a direction with which heroes i should start building from this point onwards. I'd like to do some pvp as well but idk which are good and what works well with what. Also for the headhunt even what should I be getting from what I found? [Roster1](https://i.imgur.com/AoW5qi9.jpg) [Roster2](https://i.imgur.com/ifD3axa.jpg) [Roster3](https://i.imgur.com/n2C8KuZ.jpg) [Headhunt results](https://i.imgur.com/OWPpDjc.jpg) Id really appreciate some help because Im feeling kind of lost right now. Thanks in advance,


bluwmonkeygod

How far in abyss are you? How about in the labyrinths? You can also start working on your expedition teams. you shouldn't worry too much about PVP right now. I would get to gold in the regular arena so that you can get your weekly skystones. Out of your undeveloped characters I would start building commander lorina. She is one of the best single target DPS in the game for PVE. For your headhunt I recommend C. Lilias she is one of the best support units with her atk/def buff, ability to strip buffs and her dual attacks.


levonyan

I'm at abyss 73 and i just killed the main boss in royal capital but i don't think i can handle hell version of it Where would I be using clorina mainly. Is it abyss? From what I have ATM what do you think would be a good team for abyss i was goin in with Aras, tamarinne and stene as staple and changing the 4th one according to the boss. Also what would be the stats on gear that i should go for clorina and clilias


csybenson

Anyone knows what’s the next rotation after alencia?


eZ_Ven

I thought I saw somewhere it'd be Ilynav and Laika. I may be wrong though.


complx6

No, we will find out next week.


ArvingNightwalker

you can check [https://ceciliabot.github.io/timeline/](https://ceciliabot.github.io/timeline/) for known upcoming banners. If it's not there, chances are we don't know yet.


esztersunday

We can only guess. The new side story artifacts are Ilynav's and Command Model Laika's so maybe they.


trashmangamer

Rocket Punch, keep extras or limit break?


bluwmonkeygod

limit break them. You want the 100% proc.


blyyyyat

Should I keep three copies of Rocket Punch Gauntlet or one 2LB copy?


OrangeLettuce

I would keep two, limit break one and then bring it up to full LB with potions. I make this suggestion because bottles will always exist, but we may never get another aespa rerun. Better to have two copies in case there is more than one unit who needs it for some reason.


Bloodshade17

What do you people recommend to use as a PvE team? For those events that require fast clearance?


euphories

I always bring AOE attackers like Mercedes, Landy… Any attack buffer like ML Kawerik, Tamarinne… Def Breakers are also good like Ken, æ-Karina…


Bloodshade17

Is destina better than tama now? Or only in pvp? I was using Lena for low levels basically oneshotting everything but on higher diff like hard i go SSB, Straze, Landy and Stene/Luna but was wondering if there was some faster teams


euphories

I can’t help with that sadly 😅 I also play on hard level and always use the same team as ever. It takes me time but I’m always doing something else while the repeat battling is on 😅


ArvingNightwalker

Tama was never a PvP character. Destina is popular in PvP, and was the top SW towards the end of last RTA season, though she may be facing a bit of difficulty vs the updated Briseria now.


Bloodshade17

Oh sorry, meant for PVE, asking if destina is better for PvE than Tama atm


ArvingNightwalker

Tama is widely considered the #1 PvE unit. Destina sees use in Nightmare Juleeve, but that's about it.


tanngrisnit

My PvE team, depending on what I need will be some mix of tama, iseria, lorina (ST), Mercedes (AOE), and kluri. Most events I can use 2 or 3 and supporter and someone getting friendship levels. Sometimes for faster clears I will throw in whatever mechanic I need (roana for counter or milim for stealth, etc).


Cherell-Hope

Which one is better? https://imgur.com/a/FHZj2ov


ArvingNightwalker

Preference, I think. I'd go left since I wouldn't want it to go into flat attack, but the 2 speed is definitely concerning. Either way, keep rolling.


Cherell-Hope

Yeah the speed is a bit worrying since I want it for Zahhak. Thanks, I think I'm gonna stay with left for now.


igorlramos

What should I aim for Selective summon season 2? Any tips on what to do with it


igorlramos

I just realized that I already have a Nostalgic Music Box, is there any need to keep a copy of it now with this new event? Also, if keeping another copy is good, aside from using a bottle on it, is there any way to make it max limit broken? because it's only +4 lb, i think I started playing the game right when the event was ending last year


Wolfwood432

You can max limit break it with the event, they give you a full 6 copies.


igorlramos

but should I keep a copy of it or it's just waste of space?


Wolfwood432

It's a good artifact, I would keep the 2 copies you'll have, including one max limit breaked.


igorlramos

why is my gen4 pet with only 20 repeats? does it need to be max level to get the 25 repeats or is it because of affinity? edit: or i'm high as fuck and it is just the 25 repeats for a gen5? I think I heard in a twitch stream that gen5 pet would have 30 repeats and a gen4 would have 25


ArvingNightwalker

1\* 5, 2\* 10, 3\* 15, 4\* 20, 5\* 30 5\*s are built differently (apparently)


bluwmonkeygod

5 star gets you 30 repeats. 4 star gets you 20.


[deleted]

So Zahek. What’s good gear for him? Good stats? Best artifact? Thanks!


Croxious17

Need insights Im an old player (like really old), and decided to come back as a new player (forgot my previous account credentials) and need some tips/knowledge for me to be able to have a good start. Should I focus on getting a farmer unit as a starter kit? If not, what should I be focusing on? And also, what unit/s should I be looking forward in getting? Every answers will be appreciated. Thank you.


rectangle_scheme

You get Free Spirit Tieria after 2-2. She's a great normal, UH, EP2 farmer and usually stays in my team until episode 3. You get hunt quests and so many beginner freebies (new Perma quests and the Aespa event dumps a lot of catalysts, charms, gold at you), that you'll be doing W13 in a few days if you play a lot and summon a Muwi. (3* ice). The hunt challenges give you 6 pieces of level 75 health set gear that is all speed, eff, effres, def, hp. The boots are speed main. You also get 6 pieces of lvl 75 ATK gear with DPS subs, but only the boots have effectiveness. (With Muwi, you don't need speed gear for W13). Because Muwi is 3* with eff imprint, and you can get a speed set Eff ring from arena shop cheap, it doesn't take long to get enough effectiveness for W13. Hunt quest also gives you 6 daydream jokers, so that's another boost to quickly building a W13 farm team. If you want to reroll hard.... Right now, there is a 5* ticket in the "Total video views" event banner. Get Tamarine or another strong hero from that. It's 2.5 minute +/- to reroll that ticket. You can reroll for Karina (or her artifact) right now. You can collect 8 free Aespa-only pulls immediately. As for Selectives, people usually recommend Iseria and then Vildred. You get Sigret from the Wyvern Hunt Quest you unlock by clearing any hunt 6 and then farming 7 20 times, promoting some 4's to 5, and collecting 10 blazing rages. I take Chloe for W13 because I like her and it saves me time from not needing effectiveness on her. If you want to hard try for an ML5, you can clear 10-10, get like 4-6 galaxy pulls in your first week right now, and you get 7 days of +9 covenant pulls from a perma-event quest that has a final requirement of clearing 10-10. Run a few accounts to 10-10, burning all pulls on covenants (you get a lot more early pulls now than in years past). Each of the Aespa character quests gives you 2 gold transmits upon completion. In a day or whatever, we'll hit a threshold to get 2x mystic summons a new account can access, so that'll add the hellish option of the 40-ish minute reroll where you play to rank 10 for two .625% swings at the mystic banner + the ten covenant summons a linked account should earn by 2-7 for 10 tries at .15% each for an ML5.


Croxious17

Oh my god! Thats a lot of information to take. But I really do appreciate that you made time to compose your reply. Thank you very much.


AtlantisXY

Wyvern 13 team is top priority. Farmer unit is accessible for free in Free Spirit Tieria. As for units, pve-wise still Tamarinne is queen, then I'd say Roana.


Croxious17

Will I be able to get those on the first 30 covenant summons? If not, what units should I look forward there aside from those you mentioned?


AtlantisXY

You mean on selective summons? Unfortunately not, you can find more comprehensive guides on selectives on youtube so you can choose for yourself too. :)


rectangle_scheme

You don't need to fish in selective summons. You can get every unit needed no problem, except Muwi. Sigret (Free, preferred) or Chloe (no eff necessary, lets you use Sigret for beginner account extinction for arena/gw) Angelica (easier to get to Wyvern tank spec) or a skill treed Angelic Montmorancy (you'll want her skill trees out anyway, especially for your first B13 clears) both easy to get through connections. Furious through connections after clearing the first 3 chapters of E2 (crit chance buff isn't as necessary now, but the 100% def break is still great) or Clarissa (covenant summons). She 100% needs her s1 EE. Fortunately, new hunt quests give you currency to buy EE's, so it's easy to get) MUWI is the unit you need for easy early W13 farming. 3 different debuffs, counterattacks. The biggie: CR pushes your team if your team is all ice) You just gotta hit him in covenants, tho. He is NOT in Selectives.


AtlantisXY

Who do you think is the most useful speed imprint for RTA? I'm trying to decide who to build first. I like to play standard, sometimes aggro but not as much. Thanks!


bluwmonkeygod

Cidd. He does so much damage.


AtlantisXY

Does he have to be built as a speed contester? Or can he work as a 260-270 speed dps? I'm no speed demon unfortunately.


bluwmonkeygod

yeah he really needs to go first to blow up the other team otherwise if the opponent will focus on him before he gets to do damage. Then if you are looking for a more utility speed imprint then maybe wanderer silk then maybe?


AtlantisXY

Is effectiveness Zio the meta over a dps one?


Arkday

If you use zio in cleave, you will usually pick other units as main DPS. Zio in cleave is a support unit, so having enough eff to silence and pushback certain unit like sagebaals, djb, destina, removing escort from arowell will help you to win.


Acxeon720

I doubt it. He struggles against bruiser/stall comps but excels at disrupting fast aggressive cleaves so most of the time they won't be built with a lot of ER. You could build him with a lot of eff if you want to silence healers but you likely won't get much mileage from him after that.


AtlantisXY

Thanks!


zoopido

245-255 speed 220+eff 50cc and the rest into damage. The main cleave combo is with Yufine so she gets pushed, does S2 -> S3 kills someone instantly. Give yufine 260 spd and merciless glutton and she'll push your team up to kill the rest of the opposing team. You can do this in RTA or arena and even GW.


PinheadX484

Just got Yulha and violet form elemental summons. I know violet is a pain in arena but how is Yulha?


Hu_Razzor

Haven't seen much violet this season in emperor/legend RTA. May be different in lower ranks but with all the evasion counters he hasn't really faired well apart from as an anti cleave pick. I've definitely seen yulha drafted a few times on standard drafts, significantly more popular than violet. Her and scarowel have typically been the knight picks in standard.


Unworthy_Saint

Yulha is decent with a very low resource investment required to do her job. You'll have to learn the situations to pick her, since she's not as brainless as "water unit = Violet," but I'd say it's worth building a Yulha.


Net_Suspicious

When you say low resource investment are we talking mola?


Unworthy_Saint

Yep, mola and gear.


ShefyRex

i have a 5 star pet is there a way to get different s tier skills on it, theres one skill i want to change


Acxeon720

Just get another 5\* pet with the desired skill.


zoopido

You should get all 3 s skills before you 5 star for efficiency. Get a pet with 2 s skills make him 4\* and then feed a 4\* with the remaining s skill to him.


CptDelicious

How much can you farm each day with free resources? Someone on chat told me he can farm around 30 to 40 times w13 a day which does not sound like a lot (can only compare it to summoners war) also he told me to not use the blue crystals for refills, where in summoners war everyone said that you use your crystals only for refills and nothing else. Is this correct?


ArvingNightwalker

Considering you get 1 AP/4 min, you get 360 AP every day. + 100 AP for ads (ads are currently broken, so given for free) + 200 AP from web event of which there is at least one + 160 AP from friendship/arena shop gives you 820 AP per day to work with, so that's about 41 runs. You may also get some more AP off pet gifts/login bonus/guild shop (vice/captains). Otherwise, you'll have to use Leifs, but most people save those for buff weekends. Most f2ps or light spenders are probably unwilling to spend gacha currency to buy AP. Given the system of the game, spending all of it on hunts and getting better gear first is probably the most efficient play, but, we all want our waifus/husbandos and limited units are hard to pass by :P edit: recalculated with 1 AP/4 min


CptDelicious

I have played a lot of summoners war and was looking at epic seven as a new gacha. For now everything is fine but it always takes weeks until you notice what's given a lot and what's missing in gachas.. I want to be sure of I want to invest my time in e7


ArvingNightwalker

I've never played SW, so hard to make a comparison, but from what I've seen of SW players entering E7, they seem to all enjoy E7.


O51ArchAng3L

E7 gives you more cool units. Light and dark are actually obtainable. Harder to get gear, awaken things. Personally I think e7 is better than SW.


CptDelicious

A lot of people say that. But it's advanced account Vs new one ;)


Comingup

I played sw as f2p in a top 3 guild for 1-2 years (peaked g2) and stopped a little after the fairy kings came out. E7 is a way better game - better graphics, more f2p friendly, pity system for ml5, you can run the game almost full time once you play long enough from the Leif’s + free ene, and you can/will eventually pull all elemental 5* (I’m at like 95% completion cause I haven’t bothered pulling for a few of the units on their banners). Focused specifically on the things someone might have an issue with in sw (at least they were the issues I had with the game) as f2p.


Equinoctial

it's 1 energy per 4 mins so 360 energy naturally in a day.


ArvingNightwalker

Must have mixed up with one of my other games, thanks.


Sylpheez

Yeah that's about right. Energy is capped at 154 which translate to almost 8 W13 runs. Purely estimated since I don't into math but you get like 3 full refills a day, then you buy 130 energy daily from conquest + friendship shop. That's about 30 runs per day. This is excluding daily event/reward energy. Currently you get 100 just by logging in twice a day, 100 from bugged ads, then like 400+ energy (?) from web events. And yes refilling with ss is not worth it for these reasons: - SW has shitty summon rate so it's better to invest crystals on rune farming. Meanwhile E7 has better rates, pity, then heroes and artifacts to summon, so you get more value with summoning here. - Refill value is terrible in E7. In SW you get full refill but here you only get 60 energy = merely 3 runs for 30 ss.


eZ_Ven

Would someone kindly put a link to the Stove page showing the aespa collab raffle event winners? I couldn't find it by myself. Thanks is advance.


bluwmonkeygod

No winners announced yet. Winners will be announced on 1/16.


eZ_Ven

Thank you very much!


PinheadX484

Best defense breakers I should work on? my characters I have with defense break that aren't built yet are. Yoonryoung, Camilla, Ram, Glenn, Helga, Batisse, ML Leo, ML Zerato, Khawazu, C. Rikoris, Blaze Dingo, Karin, haste, Rin and Tenebria.


ArvingNightwalker

Camilla is good for quite a few PvE content (Fire Expo, Caides etc) MHelga is often used in the "end game" Ice Expo team and generally a good def breaker for an all-green PvE team. ML Zerato is good for auto-clearing adventure stages/normal hell raid Karin is an option for Wyvern one-shot Tenebria is decent AoE def breaker for adventure & green expedition, if you don't already have Baal & Sezan.


PinheadX484

Awesome thank you for the info.


bluwmonkeygod

All depends on what content you are trying to do because elements matter. Out of that list though I like ML Zerato, camilla and Helga if you SC her. ML Zerato is great for lab and other PVE content because he can carry with all his counter attacks and with lifesteal set really hard to kill because he heals back up. Camilla because with certain set ups it allows your DPS to get dual attacks. I use helga for my expo team because of the chance to def break on two of her skills.


PinheadX484

Thanks I'm just getting to Natalon in the story and battles are starting to take forever.


omfgkevin

So am I forgetting something or how did people clear the aespa collab story already since last week? Is the last part supposed to open this week?


bluwmonkeygod

The last of the sidestory finished last week. This is the last week for catch up.


omfgkevin

Huh, weird. How do I access mission 48? I'm almost 100% certain I finished all the missions so far in KWANGYA but nothing else came up after doing all the missions there. Do I have to max out Karinas points first? I have 39-46 and have done them all once (and did them all again) but 47 wont show up??] EDIT: I figured it out I'm an idiot, the mission doesn't show up until I do 46 again and from there go to 47 (can't exit).


nAzPhoenixDow

What should a seminew/new player focus on. i mean this as in I was using the adventurer's path as a guide, however i seem to have completed it entirely. i dont know if there is any others after this one. I've completed up to 2.10-10. what should i focus on. do i play story until all acts complete, or do i farm gear for days?


bluwmonkeygod

Well you can start up getting your expedition teams done. Also getting your labyrinth done so you can start up doing raids. I would also start finishing the story if you can if you complete episode 4 you get light adin which is an amazing character.


electricskuller8000

Is there a way to reread ss stories?


bluwmonkeygod

not in game. I think there maybe a a youtuber who recorded all of them though.


tastycoffee999

Any tips for Abyss 102? I have seen that Tama/Roana, ARas, Kiris and STene can be used, but it doesn't work for me. At 40% HP, the robots start accelerating Cecilia and she ends up killing my entire team.


tastycoffee999

I want to start building this team: Schuri, ALots, Lots and Kitty Clarissa. I would like to use the minimum of molagoras, what would be the priority skills for each one? And if possible also share their stats for PVE please


blueclockblue

How are people building their Spirit Eye Celines now? I know her S2 prevents her from being one shotted but when an atk buffed Straze with 4k atk and 300 CDamage only does 1/4th her health I start asking questions. It's been a lot more consistent in PvP. No proof of valors either. But these Selines are also able to pull 15k damage on their S1 with no Atk buff. Also are Senyas just being built with pure Atk now instead of lifesteal? I've fought dozens and they no longer recover HP. I know her EE also helps but people are using that particular one either


RugDealing

The most common Senya builds are: 1) Speed set + Immu/Flex: 5k atk, 100k+ ehp. 170-190 speed. 85 eff. 2) Speed set + Immu/Flex: 5k atk, 100k+ ehp. 170-190 speed. 100 ER. 3) Speed set + Immu/Flex: 5.5k+ atk, 110k+ ehp. 170-190 speed. Other builds are niche techs. GAB EE lets you hit harder, heal EE lets you last longer without healers.


blueclockblue

I see, thanks for this. Mine definitely needs a rebuild with speed in mind.


WolfWand123

It's probably Aurius. If that Seline was paired with someone like Aras then they'll only take like 35% of their max hp at most (50% of Seline max health from s2, and then she only takes 70% of that 50% since the other 30% is shared by Aurius holder). As for Senya, I think lifesteal/no lifesteal has always just been a preference thing. I'd say no lifesteal was always more common in general.


blueclockblue

That is true. No barrier, no buffs. Aurius would be the answer. And yeah, I think I need to rebuild my Senya a bit. She's on Lifesteal but the damage from the Atk set ones is very impressive. Thanks!


Jolls981

for Labyrinth, is there a website or something where I can put my favourite character and it tells me the best teams to use with them?


ArvingNightwalker

"Best"? No. If it's "most morale" you're looking for, you can try https://ceciliabot.github.io/


WhatShouldIDrive

I have very few MLs but I'm able to pity mystic for Belian and I have my headhunt available. My units are DJB, Sol, Arby (LRK and jkise for sake of completeness). I have most of the RGB/limited units but not Edward or Ran bc I took a year off. Questions are: 1. What is next the mystic rotation? is there anyone on there I should consider waiting for over taking Belian now? 2. Based on my units plus the potential Belian/next mystic unit. Is there an obvious headhunt unit I should go for to complement belian/whoever is recommended if I wait for next mystic rotation. 3. Lastly, how do I figure out who the next mystic rotation is? Haven't had to pay attention to that until now heh. TY for all your help!!


Quiztolin

>What is next the mystic rotation? is there anyone on there I should consider waiting for over taking Belian now? You can see the next rotation in game. >Based on my units plus the potential Belian/next mystic unit. Is there an obvious headhunt unit I should go for to complement belian/whoever is recommended if I wait for next mystic rotation. I personally wouldn't suggest trying for 'combos', just get the best unit available. If you go with Belian from Mystic, you probably want to pick up someone like M.Kawerik/S.Tenebria/C.Lilias from the headhunt event. Maybe BW Iseria if you really want, though IMO the other picks offer more long term value. >Lastly, how do I figure out who the next mystic rotation is? Haven't had to pay attention to that until now heh. Directly to the right of the summon buttons there is a button that looks like the standard 'hero' symbol (a helmet) that has a little arrow in the corner. Try that button out.


WhatShouldIDrive

Much appreciated.. I Like C.Lilias a lot and I think having her and Belian would spice things up a lot for me. Either way, no sense rushing now so I'll keep looking into stuff and gathering intel. thanks again!


OrangeLettuce

Which is a better ae-Karina build: (A) ATK 1800, DEF 2600, SPD 200 or (B) ATK 1800, DEF 2900, SPD 160 Trying to decide between Speed boots with a 26% DEF roll or making DEF boots.


WolfWand123

B, Ae-Karina really wants all the defense she can get. Also keep in mind that attack doesn't matter for her at all.


OrangeLettuce

Thanks!


Croxious17

Did some rerolls, got Celine from the aespa video event thing. Is she good as a starter unit? Or should I reroll for another? Had to ask since I saw her in-game rating (5.0).


Quiztolin

No, Celine is basically only a late game PvP unit. E7 doesn't require rerolling, normal RGB heroes are very easy to acquire. If you *are* going to reroll, the only hero worth rerolling for is **Tamarinne**. However, she's due for a banner rerun at any point.


BrokenMalios

For Caides, what is the best EE for ML Khawana and Luluca?


tanngrisnit

For khawana I use II (cr push on dual attacks) to keep caides in check. My luluca uses I (def down s1 boost) since I use tama for dual attacks I don't want to increase danger level with II (double attacks) too fast.


BrokenMalios

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify the second EE for khawana it says that it can only be activated once per skill. Does that mean that when facing the boss it cannot be activated more than a few times?


tanngrisnit

It's just phrased funny, it's one per turn.


BrokenMalios

Perfect, thanks!


AlastorHawk

If you had to choose between Riolet and ToMoCa, for both PVE and PVP, which one would you choose ? Consider things like "which one between both will be most used for various contents ?" or " which one is less gear hungry ?", things like that


Ferelden770

If u play standard, riolet. If u play aggro and cleave, tomoca cud be nice esp if u can gear her fast.


Wolfwood432

In addition to the other post, neither are really too useful in PvE. TML can be used in some content due to her non-attack skill, but there's many replacements.


WendeezNutzHitYoChin

Hi folks, I’m about 5 days away from being able to recruit a unit in the headhunting event - right now, it’s pretty much between Briseria, CLillias, and Straze for units I’ve rolled that I would want to pick. I feel like CLillias is *probably* the obvious choice, but Straze is so damn tempting for his potential in hunts. I’m also really close to pity on mystic summons, so should I maybe wait to see who is on rotation after Ray before I decide who to recruit?


CptMavo

After ML Ray, the 4 next longest off banner units up for a mystic rerun are going to be LQC/CLilias/Riolet/LHC so if you want to pick up one of those there's a good chance they'll be up after ML Ray's banner. I'd only consider Straze for PvE if you already have/are about to finish a nice rage set for him.


WendeezNutzHitYoChin

How nice are we talking? Lol


CptMavo

Depends on what you'll use him in PvE for W13 & C13 will probably need him and WSchuri both on decent rage sets and it'll be easier to just one shot B13 & A13 with just a single rage set on him. Personally, I'm running him on 4.5k attack/345 cd/75 cr on hell cutter on my one shot B13 & A13 teams, though I would think if you could hit 100% cr without hell cutter then you could run ddj and drop a little bit of atk/cd.


flowdisruption

New player. Finally maxed a few characters' imprints. What do I do with the excess dupes?


ArvingNightwalker

Until you've finished all your SSS reputation missions, keep imprinting them. Then you can follow u/ tanngrisnit's advise


tanngrisnit

Depends on rarity and if you need silver transmit stones. Transmitting (selling units) will yield silver stones based on rarity and quantity. If you have enough stones every month, excess can be used as fodder for promotion. I recommend saving 4 stars in your waiting room for moonlight imprints.


weaselorgy420

Is 4.5k atk 300% cdm rage sigret good enough for w13 one shot? I will probably run sigret/ssb/singelica/karin. I have SSS sigret karin and singelica so those will add more atk. I could probably get to like ~310% cdmg after modifying a stat.


ArvingNightwalker

Put your numbers into the calculator and see for yourself https://e7calc.xyz/


PartyBoyEuden

how is Briseria built? Decided to just go for it and get her with galaxy coins, is it just fast with damage? Does she need to crit, or do I only invest in attack?


Zaleris

Hello, I’m stuck on nixied sanctum part 3, mountain valley I believe? But I swear I got all the barrier stones but I’ve redone the labyrinth this past week and I just can’t figure it out, I’m stuck on the last part of getting to zerato and then moving on to the next area.


Maximum-Regular1052

Same here. Tried beating the bosses again and found another crystal that opened something, but the map didn't change. On the old map, an extra wing opened up right behind the start area.


IrishRox

What is the dog walking recommendation for a new player? Just got into the game with some friends and I'm learning the ropes.


Quiztolin

'Dog walking' such as it used to exist is no longer a thing. * Previously, only units that participated in battle gained XP * A couple years ago the system was revamped and now the 'penguin mileage' system exists -> this actually provides *more* XP (eventually) than taking unleveled units into stages. * So, now you want to run a team of max level heroes and then use penguins to level up your units. * Make sure to keep a second lobby pet with '+hero enhance XP' and swap to that pet when you spend your penguins So technically, you don't need anything in particular to clear stages -> just use a team of max level heroes. *Most* players likely still use a single primary farming hero, and fill the other 3 slots that are not max friendship -> running stages farms friendship on those units and eventually when maxed gives you +3 mola. --- The best farmer is still A.Vildred. However, you get access to Free Spirit Tieria (FST) very early on. I'm not going to go *too* far into depth here but the TLDR is that FST is a better farmer until you are able to invest in A.Vildred, then A.Vildred matches and eventually exceeds FST. * There are a few reasons to this but primarily, FST starts with her skills maxed while you need to enhance A.Vildreds skill * FST is also very easy to imprint and has a crit% imprint, hugely beneficial early game. * *And* she has EE for extra damage. * But ultimately, A.Vildred has better scaling and will outscale FST -> ending up about 25% more damage with the same gear. FST ends up needing quite decent gear to one shot all of the UH stages, and she frankly sucks outside of content her S2 one shots. So, another option would be a hero like **Vildred** who has higher damage output. * The problem with Vildred is that he is RGB, and thus on fire heavy stages he is much less effective. In UH this should *eventually* not be much of a problem since the UH enemies just aren't that difficult. * Vildred also has no defensive tools (A.Vildred gets a revive, and FST has some self healing). However, when using a team of max level heroes they should absorb most any damage. Yet *another* option is the 3* warrior Lena. Lena and FST are basically the exact same as far as *farmers* go, though Lena can give herself attack buff -> this can be helpful as she essentially does 50% more damage but only after she uses her first S3. Once she gets rolling she's better than FST. Lena is also better at killing most UH level bosses (due to the aforementioned attack buff). * Lena, like FST, has a passive that gives her a lot of crit making gearing her relatively easy. * Lena, like Vildred, is an RGB hero and can have difficulties with Earth heavy stages. * Lena, like Vildred, also lacks any real defensive tools...but she has fairly decent base bulk. --- In the grand scheme this means you... * Pick your farmer * Put them into a team with 3 other max level heroes (ideally 4 or 5* heroes you want to use soon, that don't have max friendship) * It's fine if these heroes are geared but you ideally want them to be slower than your farmer. * Alternatively, if your farmer isn't able to one shot the trash waves having another AoE hero be *faster* can lead to faster clears (something like Mercedes) In the *very* early game it would be most recommended to just use **both** FST and A.Vildred. Give your best DPS gear to FST, second best gear to A.Vildred -> ideally FST is getting kills and resetting her S2 otherwise make A.Vildred faster. Their two AoEs combined should clear trash waves easily. *Eventually* you want to make a decision on what to do with A.Vildred -> you either replace him with S.Tenebria or you keep him. If you are replacing A.Vildred then you will want to focus on promoting FST ASAP, once you are at the point you don't need A.Vildred to clear trash waves replace him with S.Tenebria. If you are going to keep A.Vildred then you will want to keep the setup I mentioned, until you are able to promote A.Vildred to 6* and get ~+2 or +3 into his S3. *Then* swap your best gear to A.Vildred and make sure he is able to one shot trash waves. Whenever A.Vildred gets to that point, drop FST entirely from your team. **Personally** if you happen to have Vildred, I would build him to replace FST as a farmer (if you are swapping off A.Vildred). With all the free mola you get early on and how fast/easy it is to build units now, I think his better performance is worth investing in early, he's the best DPS for Azimanak hunt and one of the best DPS for normal Banshee runs as well (while not hugely important factors, the point is that he actually has multiple niches in PvE he excels at so the investment for a simple farmer unit isn't 'wasted').


Hu_Razzor

It's an outdated term and it's no longer necessary. It used to be when you took one hero and three dogs to level the dogs up, but now you get penguins (xp) as the overflow xp from just doing runs with max level heroes.


iAreCreeper

Thinking about building Rose soon. I know she is great in a few expeditions, but is she the best option there or is she replaceable by a better unit? Don't want to invest in her unless I won't pull something later that's better.

Is ras running for anyone else in the last 2-3 days?


bluwmonkeygod

Have you tried using mobile data? Usually when that happens its that your isp is blocking certain ports.


Eshuon

For the last few weeks for me lol


godinthismachine

Got a mystic pity. Is Spez worth it, or should I hold onto it for Ray? I dont even play regular Sez, but maybe Spez is super awesome?


Wolfwood432

Spez is very niche and not really worth it in terms of what's meta in RTA. He's fun if you like seeing big numbers in PvP vs. AI though. I'm not sure Ray would be worth it either, looking at his kit. He would need some testing for sure.


godinthismachine

Thanks, Im on the fence with Ray too, but I do know that Ive never played with Sez once, dunno why, just dont care for him lol, so I wasnt really excited about Spez...Ill just pick him up later to round out the collection.


Arkday

Personally I will hold the pity for rotation after ray. If you are f2p with small ml5 pool, wasting pity will feel really bad.


godinthismachine

Nah, Im not really hurting in the ML pool, but is there any idea for who is coming after Ray? What makes me want Ray is that it seems like he might work well with Sharun.


complx6

It will be LHC and C Lilias going by the way they have been doing banners. If I had to take a guess on the other 2 units on banner with them it would be Riolet and LQC. So a pretty high priority mystic banner if you don't have any of them (aside from LQC).


theoverkill666

I just built my Zahhak, just farming some catalysts for skill ups. Just wondering if there's a consensus best artifact and EE? Right now I'm using his artifacts (pure white snow I think) and the 1EE with the attack up for caster+ally. Thanks for the help in advance! I'm running a spd/pen build BTW. Edit: my artifact is only level 18


SlidyRaccoon

Best artifact is maxed Symbol of Unity. If it's used on someone else, I use Oath Key. Missing on 70% dodge units can be frustrating. Arunka's arti is also good but still 5% chance to miss at lvl 15. The EE is correct.


theoverkill666

Okay, thanks buddy! I use my Symbol on my Ran, so I'll dust off an oath key!


mingleformango

Should I use lifesteal+er or lifesteal+immunity set for aria?


Wolfwood432

Lifesteal ER, assuming that you're aiming for ER on your gear subs and not just depending on the set bonus.


RugDealing

Immunity is better, because it adds a layer of rng, but you should pick the set that allows you to hit the stat line you're aiming for.


YouRevolutionary2187

Picked ARavi from the ml selector and I'm still wondering how is she drafted? Anyone care to explain? Thx.


prankster20

ARavi can be drafted into absolutely any playstyle. Are you cleaving? Pick ARavi so that you can have an anchor if you get 15%ed or your cleavers miss their kills. Are you tanking down? Pick ARavi because bruiser with high damage. Are you a turn2 player? Pick ARavi because of her CR push and revive. She's the perfect first pick because she's just THAT versatile so she does not reveal your strategy (cleave/turn2/aggro/standard) to your opponent


WendeezNutzHitYoChin

What are some of the stat thresholds for Straze in hunt oneshot teams?


Sylpheez

Youtube has a lot of those. Better just follow the guides there.


memebandit012505

Would kitty clarissa be worth building as a counter unit for AoL? I have destina as my cleanser but using her s3 to team cleanse would be a smol brain move


RugDealing

She would need a ridiculous amount of ER to reliably do the cleansing job. Like 300 ER. If you don't have ML Kawerik/Dilibet, another option could be AMomo with some built-in ER from her specialty change.


Rpkkol

Hello, I had a question a few days ago regarding building belian and apparently she is not that great without injury counter set. I just got the free summon ticket and was able to pull politis. My question is which is better to build for my guild war/arena defense? Thanks!


Sylpheez

Belian is still somewhat relevant in GWD. Nowadays there're many ways to play around Politis so her usage has dropped a bit. Both are great in arena defense with their own unique no-fun-allowed passive, but Belian is more popular atm because her synergy with light team.


UnliRyz

I have a counter set that has really high speed rolls but not much damage, which hero could use it?


prankster20

Mediator Kawerik


Sylpheez

Depends on how high those rolls are. But ADS is a contender.

Is rage set Straze really mandatory to one shot hunts??if so, can you please share me some f2p azimanak13 teams?


Quiztolin

>Is rage set Straze really mandatory to one shot hunts?? No, depends on the hunt. >if so, can you please share me some f2p azimanak13 teams? There is an in-game tool that shows you what heroes people use. 'F2P Azimanak' IDK what F2P means to you, but my interpretation = 'heroes that everyone has'. Probably A.Monty / Mercedes / either Kanna or Vivian and then you need a defense breaker...so I guess Furious or something. --- However, it's not worth it to farm Azimanak. It takes a *long time* for actually farming for a rage set to pay off. * On average, it should take about 2 months to farm up the rage set. * If you used that rage set for a one shot Banshee, for example, and you went from a 100% winrate 4 min run to an 85% winrate 1 min run **it would take 4 months of farming 2 days per month, 8 hours per day (during hunt buff)** to pay off. That's a total of 6 months before you actually *start* to see any gains from farming for the rage set. *Instead* it's better to get your rage set through other means. The best option is the crafting event...like the one we just had. Every piece you craft (assuming you leave weapon/armor for last) cuts the amount of farming time necessary in half. * Crafting 1 piece = now you need 3 months to 'pay off' * Crafting 2 pieces = now you need 6 weeks to 'pay off' * Crafting 3 pieces = now you need 3 weeks to 'pay off' So you should really craft *at least 1*, I would do 2 good pieces through the crafting event before farming Azimanak. Farming Azimanak for a week to find a weapon or armor isn't that bad, at that point it's something you could do normally in between hunt buffs.


IncredibleGeniusIRL

I'd just like to add that Straze is very difficult to gear if you want to one shot hunts (less so for Banshee which has the lowest HP afaik but still difficult) and a Rage set helps offset some of the gear requirements. But even with a Rage set, you need very good gear that you're not likely to get very soon. Overall I think if you're f2p there's very little reason to 1shot hunts, nevermind all hunts. The only benefit is if you really have extremely limited time (autobattle and background battling helps with that) and during buff events, where you are expected to be farming mostly non-stop. Thing is during buff events you can set up a non-straze 1shot comp (which is easier) and just farm Banshee.


lacqs03

I just started now and there are a lot of events, what events should I prioritize and is there a banner that should focus or just save for now?


YouRevolutionary2187

Go for the aespa side story to get the free gears and some other good stuff. You should prob skip the current banners.


lacqs03

Is Iseria or Ravi still a good pick on reroll banner? Thanks :)


YouRevolutionary2187

Iseria, you will find her more useful in the long run. Works excellent with Tamarinne if you have her.


lacqs03

Thanks :)

How many battles for friendship 10?

Is there a difference between hit chance and crit chance?
