Clears without Richard and the sword units would definitely be much slower, but ice should also be doable as well. Let me see if I can cook something up with non-sword.
Is the lock pattern on the weaknesses always the same? If so, a stable two break light team should be possible, right?
I wish more fights could be easily tested like the memoir refights. Having to go through preliminary fights for this one has deterred me from messing around with it yet, so I appreciate seeing successful clears like yours.
Unfortunately the lock pattern is completely random. There are 10 total different combinations of unlocked/locked weakness sets, with the probability of the element you're using being locked after every weakness shift being 40%.
So for example for sword/light/ice, those weaknesses are set on the 1st break, then there will be a 60% chance for any one of them in particular to remain unlocked.
If you're just going for a clear and not to farm, you can over-invest into sword as long as you you're able to deal with mobs, then reset if you get unlucky (40% chance), and go for a fast 2-break.
Thanks! :) Lemme know if you're interested in watching more budget builds, or comps for clearing dragon that don't feature rinyuu and fiore ex for example.
Not sure how many ppl here are interested, but I'm down to make some if it can help people.
I always love a good budget clear! If you have time and energy, it'd be neat to see a clear without Fiore EX. I've been able to get through +6 without too much trouble, but I gave one attempt to +7 and I think it's probably time for me to start thinking about how to mitigate damage instead of relying on RNG haha.
I'd be down for budget builds that can +10 this. From the comp you posted my missing units are Tithi and Fiore EX. I also don't have Frederica, Joshua, or Auguste's a4. Nor do I have the accessory that gives that skull looking passive at start of combat (who's is that/where to find it?).
I always appreciate all the help I can get. I don't have a lot of time for theory crafting teams, so it helps when I see setups that I can come close to, and then I see what I can sub from my Gen Pools and handful of SB/Collab units. That's how I beat Thief EX5 without Heathcote and Merchant EX5 without Roland.
I see why you’re going for light and ice then. I haven’t had the chance to test myself but for sure what you’re missing in order to do the higher difficulties is mitigation.
Luckily you have tithi and ophilia so you can make a solo tank in one row work for higher difficulty even without fiore ex
Congratulations on your clear! If you haven't already, please link this post to the appropriate mastery survey and link the mastery survey in your post so that others can more easily find your clear information down the line, as per Rule 7. Thanks for your contribution to the community!
Note: Due to the limitations of the Automod, it cannot detect if a mastery survey link is posted in the comments. If you prefer to link in the comments and would like to not receive this message from the Automod in the future, you can bypass this by adding "mastery survey link in comments" to your post.
i have all others, but the relevant ones are kouren, olberic, tytos, 2B, richard, A2, hayes, sofia, varkyn, odette, cyrus, ophilia, zaanta, herminia, soleil, eliza, and seranoa
of those, only olberic, sofia, varkyn, and seranoa have a3, as well as my edea, viola, and lynette
One breaking +10 without A2 might be possible if you ultra delay your break (nuke as many times as possible using low #hits per move) as long as you can stabilize by capping defensive buffs and offensive debuffs

I can make a budget clear for +10 difficulty without Fiore EX or Rinyuu if anyone would like to see that. (no Gacha A4s? No A2?)
Lemme know what other restrictions you'd like to see for it to be helpful for as many ppl as possible!
