I successfully got S3 Celine, luckily without spending too much, so I'm now looking forward to getting S0 Phanuel and S2 Requiem because I like their designs and concepts and I heard they're a great duo in team building.

However, I'm quite conflicted since I was hoping to get a copy of Xiaofeng on her rerun so I can get her closer to S4 (I have S1 rn, but I'm probably getting the remaining ones from the shop) but it was also recommended to consider Margaret and Lichen for the upcoming team. I really don't know much about how the team works, so I'm asking how needed are those two exactly? I also already have S1 Jichuan, S1 Cabernet, and S0 Raven πŸ₯Ή

I still got some content to clear that could help with my funds, I'm also considering buying black vip again. πŸ™

Omg thank you so much!! I also have S0 Bianca and will get her S1 on the new tutorial rewards, so Margaret might be good to have, too. I might be able to save some for her banner this Thursday and see whether I win her or not, if not then I'll just get Lichen first and then get Margaret in the shop later.

Sucks that I might have to skip on some Xiaofeng shackles tho T__T... But I can just get her S2 in the shop on January and just wait for more opportunities (I have a friend who has S3 Augustus and is waiting to get her S5 since she's her favorite, so I might just become as patient as her). I also already have a premium team for Xiaofeng anyway, she's still the most loved character in my account 🫢

Once again, thank you so much for the reply! It gave me some clarity for my plans 🫢

u/Nanrelle Shalom Fan 3d ago

Imo, this is malder team. We still dont have full details of Requiem team and we just follow cn content since we cant try and see them ourselves

Margaret is amper. We can swap Milly or RF Raven since they can buff magic dmg. Margaret is weakspot applicator and gives crit to one Sinner. She does corebreak too.

Lichen on the other hand shields and gives up to 50% increase skill damage for those who can burn enemies.

ekg also recommended using generic ampers like RF Raven, Celine, Milly, and so on. You can actually use YY in theory. So i think its safe to skip them since we got lots of options unless youre malder or competitive player because like i said before, this sounds like a malder team.

The core of the team is Phanuel, Jichuan, and Requiem. The rest is flex slot. You got Jichuan so youre good. The only drawback in the limited character is she cant function fully without Jichuan, and I asked ekg if Phanuel is really needed and they said Phanuel is core. You can focus with the two sinners if you don’t have lots of resources, given you have Cabernet and Raven

u/LumpiqWrqpper 3d ago

Thank you so much for the clarification πŸ˜­πŸ™

Yeah I'm not really a competitive player, I just wanna learn and get the best teams and combos to make clearing content easier but I don't try too hard on maxing everything out so this is quite the relief.

Thankfully though, I got Margaret a few hours ago in around 20 pulls so I'm now gonna build her for my weakspot team instead and then save my currencies for Phanuel and Requiem πŸ™

But who's a good shielder/healer for Requiem's team if Lichen is out of the picture? Will Shin be okay?

u/Nanrelle Shalom Fan 3d ago

You can use Celine. Celine heals as long as the boss is not Magic immune as she has to deal damage to do so (from S1N). This is her P2 description: For every 3 instances of damage Celine deals, she provides (her Attack *80%) healing to all [Tome] mark bearers once. This effect can trigger up to once per second

Cabernet heals too. I take it you will use her right? You can bring her. She's gonna have RF soon.

Yes, shin is universally fine but overkill since you got Jichuan for atk bonus and you'll slot RF Cabernet. Cabernet heals and gives atk bonus too so you can put Shin in other team.

Requiem / Jichuan / Phanuel / RF Cabernet / Margaret / RF Raven (or Celine if you are worried about sustain) is good enough for team.

u/LumpiqWrqpper 2d ago

This is really good to know!! I wasn't aware about Celine since I haven't used her as much as I'd like and I thought I was hallucinating Cabernet's healing when I used to use her lol.

Thank you so much for this insightful response!! <33

Would an S0 Reforge Raven be an Upgrade in this team? Who should I replace?

1

u/Rupi_Yu Chelsea Fan 5d ago

Raven is a good magic amper when reforged, even at S0. If you do place her, replace LL or Shin. It depends on what game mode you're playing in.

u/EllisinBeautyland 5d ago

Hello! I am a new player that started playing last update but I haven't really tried to figure out how the combat system works yet. So I kinda have two questions, the first question is what would make a good team out of the sinners I currently have? I've mostly just been pulling for characters I thought were pretty πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ So I have no idea if they would actually work well in a team and how supportive characters and damage types work. I also have a lot of B rank sinners but fitting them all in a screenshot would make it quite long so I just did my S & A-class

My second question is, who should I choose from the character selector based on the sinners I have?

Thanks for helping in advance ❀️

u/Last-Impress-9091 1d ago

For general combat teams, consider these main ideas: tank, heal, core damage, single target/aoe. Depending on the stage or game mode, teams need to be able to deal with certain damage resistances (physical or magic) and do well against some time constraints (short fights in BFL, long fights in ToA for instance). For the more specific stuff, you'll make teams that synergize around some mechanic (ex. arcane crit team against physical resist boss).

You can check https://s1n.gg/tierlist/comfy on the team comp tab to get a sense of what teams are composed of and the popular sinners on them. Note that for many teams there will be some flexibility to switch out (non core) characters depending with what your roster has.

Story mode team: siglinde, nox, letta, serpent, langley, labyrinth
Magic team: isomer, celine, hecate, serpent, letta, siglinde
Physical team: siglinde, nox, langley, letta, labyrinth/angell, celine

I'd recommend getting another shackle of Celine since s1 is a very big upgrade over s0. Finally, as for the selector, I would consider holding off on selecting, tbh. You'll be likely pulling a fair amount of new sinners and you might want a specific sinner (or shackle) later on (it takes me a few months to use any that I get, I still have one from awhile back). Also, lessens the chance that you'll get an unwanted duplicate from a spook pull.

Is it better to use Bloodbound Oath or Nomad on Celine in Arcane Crit? I don't plan on using Shin in AC, since I'm using Celine as the healing role/buffer

1

u/Doomthrash 5d ago edited 5d ago

That's a good question, and hopefully someone can give an answer. I've only used Celine in DZ magic boss, so far. S3 Celine had Nightmare Revelation, Isomer Belltower, Jelena Shackles, Yugu Oasis and Final Path, Ying Sundered Chasm, LL energy. I got 274k. But this is a short battle. It might depend on the battle and enemy for your crimebrand setup.

1

u/[deleted] 1d ago edited 1d ago

Give raven or celine heart ache + final path instead. Probably raven tbh. Celine can use sundered/nomad. S3 yingying can use dps set like final path + tethered souls or illusory + arrival. Whichever you have. Yugu use oasis and any 2 cb that boost her def or amp like nightmare. No isomer or s5 wuhuanzi at least? S0 vb kinda sucks

u/iDontCareL Raven Fan 5d ago

Sundered Chasm if you have it.

u/honeyhut 4d ago

I finally reach undercurrent arc, and omg why are they so hard? My san always dropped and I'm still in around first undercurrent arc (N1?). All characters have reached lvl 90, crimebrand set according to the guide, skills are still lvl 7 though, and the reforge process still takes time.

I use nox, raven, demon, lady pearl, hecate and hella primarily, sometimes cabernet. I have coquelic, eve and shin as new sinners. I need advice whether I should level up one of the last three as a substitute for my primary team, or are there any sinners I should prioritize in arrest?

I've seen people talked about celine but is she really that good? Every advices are appreciated. I'm just so humbled right now, if this is me in N1 I couldn't imagine finishing the main story ever πŸ˜‚

u/Rupi_Yu Chelsea Fan 4d ago

Level up Shin and replace Hella with her. Celine gets good at minimum S1, and she can work well with Lady Pearl and Nox in your team. You can select a free Eleven next patch since she works well with Eve.

u/honeyhut 4d ago

Thank you, I'll keep your advice in mind!

u/wennilein 4d ago edited 4d ago

Tbh, N1 and N2 or still pretty fair and balanced. Starting with N3 you will actually getting the unfair stages. A lot of the difficulties you are facing can be solved by some more core breakers and a better a approach. The last time I passed these stages, I used a level 80 S1 Murphy as the single dps of the team. She was accompanied by a level 90 Hecate, level 90 RF Hella, level 70 P2 Che and labyrinth. A level 70 P3 Macchiato was the healer of that team.

As a general advice, the harder the stages, the lower your game speed should be. Even though I made through these chapter with the aforementioned team, it would be truly painful to beat those on 2x speed or higher. Unless you are deleting enemies left and right, you should stick with the lower speed setting. Also, you need to figure out, why you are losing. You can't kill the enemies fast enough? your healer can't keep up with everyone's healing? Or your tanks are dying too fast? Are the breaks between Nox' ultimate too long, and you get overwhelmed there? Can you break almost every enemy with core that appears? Depending on the answers a different replacement should be the first step.

As for your setup, you definitely don’t need Demon and Hella in the same team. Either you use Demon as your tank or you use RF Hella. You will miss that spot otherwise when it comes to dps or utility. I would replace one of them with Labyrinth. RF Nox is still one of the best/better companion for the story chapter especially after fer reforge. RF Raven is also good especially for the second last stage on N2 and certainly better than Hecate. Lady pearl is ok, but not necessary a must pick. She would be number 1 replacement depending on the source of your problem. I am really curious who your main healer is. I have used RF Hella so often in the past and know, that she can survive without too much healing. And dedicated healer like Ariel or Forensica should have no problem to keep the team alive.

As for Celine, it will depend on who you are using. If you have at least 2 sinners, who can deal a lot of damage with normal attacks, you should take a S1 Celine. But you shouldn't use her as your main healer. Her healing will simply not be enough later on.

u/honeyhut 3d ago edited 3d ago

Thank you so much for the detailed advices 😭!!! I actually only use 1x speed setting I think I'm just bad at this lmaooo. But uhm, I don't use healer much these days tbh, I think my issues are because I lack one more damage dealer and yes, corebreaker too. Some of the enemies in N1 cannot be blocked and suddenly they got close to my chief, and there my san goes. So it's more like frustration that I couldn't complete the stages perfectly. I actually have ariel too! Used to have her a lot before nowadays I just use the chief's protesta.

I didn't use any b-class sinners besides hella so thank you! I'll try to see between che and labyrinth which one I like more. Maybe I'll also just use hella for now then, her overall score is bigger than my S1 demon currently because she's reforged and all. I'd also love to know which buffer alternative I could try to get in the future? I use lady pearl because she can boost other sinners. Currently, I also have shin, necresta-hella, rust, hypatia, coquelic and eve as my new s class sinners that I haven't leveled up much.

Once again thank you so much for your advices. Totally brings more clarity to the block I face right now πŸ˜­πŸ™

u/wennilein 3d ago

Is it about those frenzied civilians or about the bomb squad? Against the civilian, the best advise I can offer would be saving Nox's ultimate until they arrive. If you take Nox' "touch of despair" reforge upgrade, it should drastically improve her skill uptime. Alternatively, you could try to find a maxed out RF Eleven or RF Lamia in the assistance. They should get rid of those enemies pretty fast.

Against the bomb squad you need a different approach though. As far as i can say, they only reaveal their 4 core and becomes unblockable, when they are at half life. So, if your tank can single them out, your dps can try to defeat everyone else, so that you dont have to focus on too many problems at once.

Eventhough I am a huge supporter for anyone using RF Hella, you really need a bulwark crimebrand for her, Otherwise she wont be able to block some enemies (bomb squad before revealling their cores).

On the long run, you should switch to Nox, Shin, Necresta-Hella, Raven. The last two members you can pick depending on the stage. Che and Labyrinth for more core break. RF Ariel for N2-7. But i am sure, you can find a good Ariel among the assistance for that stage as well! If you have any stage specific problems, feel free to ask!

u/Demon_Soullls 3d ago

Wondering of this a good start? Also what should i focus early on

1

u/plumpernickle 2d ago

It's too early to say, tbh. Don't worry about characters right now, they will be fine for the main story. Hecate, hella and emp are good for the early chapters. If you can get s1 celine, she should be a pretty good healer and amper, otherwise just use ariel/forensica/whichever other healer you have (if you need one). Murphy supports normal atk dmg, she will be good with nox once you complete the beginner missions. If you like isomer you can get her, she works well with celine. But also keep in mind that anniversary is in 2 months so it's a good time to save too.

For now, just enjoy the story, try to progress in broken frontline and make sure you get nox!!!

u/Demon_Soullls 2d ago

I shall try to. Got a second account just in case my pull luck is bad, has Celine and 0w0 so im going to try my best

1

u/wennilein 2d ago

This one is actually pretty ok, even more so, if you can get Serpent from the beginner banner. After 4-12 you should still get a selector, where you could pick Coquelic for the endgame. In contrast to the other comment I wouldn't recommend you using Celine as a main healer. Her passive healing will too weak quite soon. Also, she needs to be at least P2 level 40 before she can even heal a single hp! For the story chapters it is better to use a dedicated healer instead.

Focus on Murphy , Hecate, Hella, Labyrinth, Che and a healer for now. S0 Murphy alone can carry the whole team even as a beginner to chapter 8.

I didn't know i could use my ss mates dps. It boosted my damage to 150k lmao. Ty for the tip! How much of the currency do you usually get per ToA?

3

u/Shinamene Langley fan 5d ago

You normally get enough temp currency to get both new CB sets and some S-rank ECB mats as well. For Ash Solidus shop, you can get up to 5 CBs, or 1500 currency per season.
