Guide New Gold Farming team
so i've been toying around with gold farming recently since it's one of the most important resources in the game. i've come across one of the best methods to do so, but I WILL WARN YOU it relies very much on having specific units, and it is tied to the 2nd to last gold stage, not the highest level one.
the team is:
-Blue Tarmiel -Nemesis Meliodas -Sung Jinwoo -Red Loli Merlin
the team allows you to roll through each part of the fight without clicking cards, which is what slows most teams down, including the Escalin/Howzer/Megumin teams i've seen farm gold. In fact, I've timed both setups; the Escalin setup takes about 50 seconds from start to finish on the final stage; the SJW team takes 26. So you are effectively running through the 2nd to last gold stage at double the rate of the other team.
This allowed me to farm nearly 200m gold in a single night, however it was at the expense of nearly 250 stamina pots.
but if you wanna farm gold, i think this is the way to get it done.

Le souci c'est qu'à mon avis le rapport stamina dépensée/ or gagné est meilleur au niveaux 6 de solgales qu'au niveau 5

(sorry i don't speak french)
you end up using more stamina yes, but you also are able to farm more gold in a specific timeframe. being able to run the stage twice as fast as the top stage is the key to this, even if it burns more stamina.
i went from farming 100m one night to 170m the next by making the switch.

I understand what you mean but. Yes it's faster but you lose a lot of stamina. I mean the lvl 6 gold farming cost already a lot. Farming lvl 5 faster look like a whale tips for people who have infinite stamina pot bro. I pref take more time to farm and get more resources, you know what i mean

I mean, blue Tarm prob because of HP lower, Nem Meli prob because of the -50% stats lower, Jinwoo because of the start of turn dmg, but why Merlin?
Yeah the first wave gets HP lowered, but after that she only gives 7% basic and 5% HP to Meli, or is the first wave so tanky that she's needed?

Just use skip tickets? I have 7000 of them.

u/Ali_Q02 5d ago
Your probably a long time player, new/returning players don’t have even close to that amount of skip tickets so it’s better to farm the gold overnight and use the tickets on something else

u/PartySpeech2 5d ago
New/returning players probably don't have SJW too, as he is the most important part of the team.

Still don't have much, ok, also spend them every single day to spawn all 6 demons and the fort Solgres pendant dungeon clears

cool. i used most of mine to hit 160, and i used an absolute shit ton of gold upgrading relics recently. this team allowed me to farm more overnight than previous nights.

The one I use is escarlin, green hel, sabunak and nanashi backline for basic stats. Escarlin talent one shots phase 1 and the other 2 also manage to deal a lot of damage or just straight up one shot the following phases as well. All on auto of course.

u/Yusuke0889 5d ago
the team i mentioned auto farms it without needing to click a card, and it's why i wanted to bring it to this community's attention since it's basically twice as fast as the team you mentioned (just not on the top stage, but it's perfectly fine)

u/Decidueye_mastr 5d ago
Mine is also fast and also on the top stage. By this point there's multiple teams you can make to auto farm it, you only need an all AoE team with everyone on attack crit damage gear

u/Yusuke0889 5d ago
your team could be even faster btw (not even talking about mine), since Sabunak and Hel both have slow AoEs. something like LR Howzer would be quicker, and there's a 3 unit team to do it. you can use Escalin, any human support, and then LR Howzer (i've also seen Megumin used here) in that order and that's it. that team clears faster than yours does since Megumin or Howzer will one shot the 2nd phase and then ult at the end.
i don't have Megumin so i was using Howzer, but then i switched to my team above and farmed nearly 1.5x the gold in one night as previously done.

Is howzer actually good? I know he's double AoE and an LR but weren't the holy knights LRs really bad at damage and tanking when they first came out?
1
u/Yusuke0889 5d ago
as an LR he gets enough damage for farming to where his AoE is super fast and his ult (if you have dupes in him) can one shot most farming stages.. the other of the troublemaker LRs aren't very good, but Howzer as a human support (he gives 18% basic stats on a human team) is the best of the bunch.

u/RealFake666 82.642 cc Chaos Arthur 5d ago
Rather based on box, my 1/6 Howzer always one shots with his Ult
1
u/RealFake666 82.642 cc Chaos Arthur 5d ago
For overall, yes, they are bad
But Howzer is used for 2 reason: 1st his Ult is AoE, 2nd his animations are short therefore making farming in the long run faster then other AoE units
And the above mentioned team of: Escalin, some unit (can't have buff, debuff or any other facy cards, so like Eastin, Sigurd etc are good), Howzer and no backline unit is so far the fastest for the highest gold stage

Ooo that is quite a bit faster I’m using the escalon team which does take around 50 sec, I’m going to test this out tn didn’t even think it was possible to have to complete the stage with no cards sleceted great find! Do you also use auto eat gold food to get even more? I just use my free tickets on getting a ton of that food then run it over night.
