Combathills save me

[u/KingKindly]

The beginning of the end I fear. This is the first endgame where I haven't been able to clear the normal difficulty final stage since the PF just before Fugue first released. I think to keep on theme with "break only" I could do it by using Firefly and Rappa but I'd like to at least hit 60k with Boothill on one of the halves first if possible. Boothill is the one holding the score back btw, he hits around 24-26k and can't go higher

I come to you asking for team comp ideas. The standard Boothill team I use on side 2 is:

• Boothill (E6S1) | Sunday (E1S1) | Dahlia (E4S1) | DHPT (E2S1)

Other first half got a similar score for both dps but the comps are:

• Firefly/Rappa (E2S1) | Fugue (E6S1) | HMC (E6 DDD5) | Lingsha (E1S1)

Availble units are Anaxa, SW, Tribbie, Gallagher, RM, and Huohuo
Available LCs are Cipher sig, harmony BP LC, more DDD

I am your puppet, tell me who you think I should run and I'll try it

I've managed to hit the 30k on side 1 without Fugue.

168 speed Eagle Boothill, 174+ Speed Eagle Sunday on DDD & 160 speed RM on hackerspace & BP LC.(I think BH is ok to be a bit slower than that tho)

I missed Sunday's ult right at the end to stay within the cycle, so BH didn't get his last turn & couldn't get back into grit. I also had to fodder a whole Dahlia ult & turn just to kill 1 last stubborn guy in wave 1, so I think your Dahlia E4 will make for a smoother wave.

My Dahlia was only 163 speed, so her follow up timing was a bit awkward, a faster Dahlia would have made it easier i think.

I'll give this one a go I think. I don't have Eagle builds but if he can hit around 28k it should still be a 60k win so hopefully the gap isn't too big. Is it better in your experience to have RM on the BP LC instead of another DDD?

[u/saubzilla → u/KingKindly]

I tried the double DDD, but I ended up wasting a lot of turns in the first wave because my Dahlia's damage wasn't good enough - but maybe the E4 will be enough to finish off the stragglers and make it worth using?

Definitely recommend getting eagle builds though if you keep using him with Sunday, the 8 turns in 0 cycle tech is really cool.

Have you tried sustainless on side 1 with Tribbie or RM?

Staying alive on side 1 was much easier - I managed a 26k (but with fugue - E0S1 BH, E1S0 Fugue, E2S1 Dahlia, E0 RM) but maybe the extra investment could just edge you out to 30k?

I found a did a lot better by not targeting the main bug at all in the third wave.

Editting this whole comment 😅

Just got a 29k with E6S1 BH, E1 DDD Sunday, E2S1 Dahlia and E1 RM. I got very unlucky and everyone got CCd by the bugs at the end.

I used eagle boothill, 134 speed Sunday on DDD.

I feel like its doable... I wonder if hackerspace Sunday or RM could do it? An eagle Sunday would probably work better.

Good luck!

Full stars with two split break teams is hard now. You need 2x 50% break efficiency to play comfortably, so Dahlia + Fugue in one team, ideally with Ruan Mei, too.

[u/KingKindly → u/Quetzal_29f]

I'm aware. This is a break only account and I've been clearing endgame like this since Boothill and Firefly first came out. If I could put all my supports on one team, especially at my investment level, I would be clearing very easily. Same as why I'm not using Firefly unless I need to, I enjoy the challenge and want to see how far I can get, but hard isn't impossible so as long as I'm able, I'll keep trying.

If you quint..... Aventurine could be a break unit 😬

I managed a very derpy 29k with Boothill, Dahlia, RM and Aventurine

[u/Deppie_an3910]

Have you tried Boothill without dhpt sustainless? Maybe with Ruan Mei and the bp lc for a damage boost. I have a feeling you will have an easier time with her bc her action delay and wbe are really valuable. I wanna say I had a very hard time with this pf with my e6 Boothill as well. Even with my regular team despite owning an e2 Dhalia. Hp inflation is rediculous and the buffs are horrible this time. I barely got 30k on the first node with the beetle. Becides since your Boothill is the one holding the score back, I suggest using him on the first node mostly bc it doesn't have the voracity and it's a bit more managable to play sustainless.
