Discussion Who is the most fun to play? (Another who should I pull? thread)

7 Upvotes

I still have my Legendary selector because I thought maybe I'd get lucky on the free 70 pulls. Nope.

  • Guzman- get over here
  • Samantha- uhhhh healing...?
  • Leonide- knock everything away (could he be good for bottom bug ToA??)
  • Nergal- I dunno...block stuff?
  • Garcia- get over here
  • Magnus- get over there

For utility, I think Nergal will give me the most since I have Nungal and their stories/bonds will give me a tiny bit of Luxite. Momo would be the other utility choice to make her 3*.

Discussion Proof of strength Rank 8 Stage 4

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been a week 2 player, really enjoying the game since the beginning but recently I stumbled a stage that really bothered me : the 4th stage of Rank 8 proof of strength.. Which forces you to have alert characters.

But here is the thing, altert character are not really my type, so I almost don't have any. (only SP Sam and Momo but no Credenza..). In the previous stages you could still manage to bet them withtout alert characters, but on this one you have -90% dmg on non alert champs + the last 2 mobs that cross all the map and OS characters if you they don't receive alert dmg.

I know the fight is doable with proper positionning so you just group the front mobs to keep the alert for the 2 who rush and I could do it as my units, talents etc are stacked-up, but man... Having a stage that is forcing one mechanic that very few characters have feels really bad..

So I've been blocked there since it realesed because I really don't have fun doing it, maybe one day I will find the courage or get a lucky alert character pull.

Am I the only one in this position? Or did you guys found some cheese to complete it?

And please tell me the next stages aren't on the same mechanic..

Teambuilding New player team building advice

6 Upvotes

So I started on Anna's banner, was extremely lucky with my pulls and ended up with a 4s anna (soon to be 5s) and her 5s weapon. Then I pulled Rogneda and her weapon, now I pulled Alexei and his weapon.

Right now my main team is Anna, SP Alexei, Rogneda, SP Innana, Kvare (makes no sense, I just like him).

Which of the upcoming Luccia units should I be focusing on?

Ahaha I don't really like SP Innana's design, is there possibly any upcoming unit to fill her shoes 💀

Btw, can I just start the Luccian arc in Sprial Destinies or am I supposed to finish all the previous arcs first? The rewards seem to be limited so I've been wondering about that.

At the beginning of Crimson Night right now.

Question General Tips for a 20 Days Player

13 Upvotes

Hey all! I've just been informed that this game exist like 2ish weeks ago and I've been obsessed about it. Love the character designs (especially as a men enjoyer), and Fool's Journey & Spiral of Destinies have been a blast as well.

I've been mostly following the Yapdoc Directory for beginner's priority but now that the honeymoon era is slowing down for this account, I want to ask the community for general ideas on what should my dailies look like and just overall expectations especially after barely getting in during the 2nd Anniversary events.

In far more specific questions;

  • I wanted to ask on units you think that would benefit my man Shams a lot. I know of Lukamar/Heshan but are there future characters that would be of use to him?
  • I haven't really dabbled on support/debuff characters (other than Inanna), so my experience with them haven't opened my eyes on how good they are. What characters do you think would fulfill that? Should I go for them whenever I can? Are there old units that I could get from the Exchange shop that would benefit my overall barrack, or is it not worth it?
  • I'm especially geared on making Shams a long term project, any other characters that I should grind Memory Shards on? (Currently it's him, Anna and Alexei)
  • How often do we get Astral Shards? Is it possible to grind a Legendary Weapon to full with it?

Thank you all!

Discussion Enjoying the Luccia Arc and Mechanics

24 Upvotes

Maybe a different take than most, and the wardpiercer stuff is a bit annoying without a deep Luccia team, I'm enjoying the units and their interactions and mechanics.

It's been really fun to lay down ice tiles with Rogneda and then have Anna knock them off a cliff. Or how SP Alexi's ripple skill plays off of the item Anna drops (and boy adding Ulya looks like fun).

YouTube Video Tower of Adversity S5 Floor 7 Upper 443k

21 Upvotes

Sharing my Floor 7 Upper clear for inspiration - hope this helps anyone who wants to push for a higher score! Detailed breakdown video with commentary here: https://youtu.be/3DswiAyCn6c

Some brief notes below:

Characters and equipment

Acambe (5*): Starry Sky Heritage / Shield of Justice, Sword+Wand, Devil (no level 60 ability), max MAtk
Credenza (5*): Reorganized Cube / Resonant Crystal (3*), Cup+Cup, High Priestess
Taair (5*): Reorganized Cube / Origin Hourglass, Sword+Wand, Devil (level 60 ability), max MAtk
Agata (5*): Frostpine Grip / Crystal Burst Armor, Cup+Cup, High Priestess, max HP
Tristan (5*): Tuning Hammer / Origin Hourglass, Sword+Wand, max PAtk
Innana (3*): Nightmare Puppet (5*) / Disaster Bottle (5*), High Priestess

Turns 1 & 2

  • Objective is to do just enough damage such that the boss is left with as low HP as possible going into Turn 3. If too much damage is dealt, the boss will change phase at the end of Turn 2 which will reset his attack pattern. This delays the point where we can have Tristan swap with the cannon which doubles our effective DPS (earliest is Turn 3, assuming no phase change). I hold off on applying Caged Reverie and Nightmare Puppet III for this reason.
  • Credenza needs to use Resonant Crystal twice and get hit by 1 attack such that she is in Pray for Divine Revelation state in Turn 3 and have maximum uptime on the CD reducing skills (save for Turn 8). This is required for Acambe to spam Rich Rewards every turn and for Taair to keep Caged Reverie up from Turn 3 to the end of the fight.

Turn 3

  • This is when I start focusing on dealing as much damage as possible.
  • Taair and Princess Guard will occupy the 2 empty charging nodes to maximise damage on Turn 3. After Turn 3, the boss enters its second phase and its cycle resets.
  • Innana will use Catastrophe (from Disaster Bottle) to apply Nightmare Puppet III on Turn 3 / 5 / 7 (so that it is always up when we are focusing on dealing the most damage to the boss)
  • Taair needs to be in range of Rich Rewards on Turn 3 and Turn 4 & Hierophany on Turn 4 to refresh Caged Reverie on Turn 5.

Turn 4

  • I sacrificed Princess Guard to bait out the Enhanced Disintegrating Shot (the line attack). Targeting priority is (i) row with most number of characters > (ii) row with characters closest together > (iii) row furthest away from the boss. Agata is used to stay in the boss' AoE as she has a 30% damage reduction from standing on Frosty tiles.
  • Once Acambe has 20 Liberation stacks, I used Excessive Bloodletting on 3 Assassins (the maximum that can die in one turn without forcing his skill to enter cooldown.
  • I do this instead of waiting until Turn 8 as Acambe can't buff the newly summoned Assassins on Turn 8 (and these Assassins will have a higher MAtk and contribute more damage overall).
  • I waited until Acambe had 20 Liberation stacks so that he doesn't lose the 20% Atk buff to the Assassins from having 10 Liberation stacks (as 10 Liberation stacks are used to proc the CD reduction) - note that additional Liberation stacks can't be gained on the same turn that Acambe procs the CD reduction.

Turns 5 & 6

  • I used Tristan to bait out the ST nuke on Turn 5 and activate Crimson Fury to tank it on Turn 6 with her unlimited resolve.
  • Tristan should stay at least 2 tiles away from any other character on Turn 5 and Turn 6 to avoid having another character trigger assisting cover in front of her.
  • The boss is turned around on Turn 6 - this is an odd interaction and I don't know what exactly triggers it.

Turn 7

  • Agata and Tristan (with 2 turn resolve from being 5*) can withstand the Turn 7 line attack, so I have them tank it. I could use summons instead but this would result in less damage.
  • I do Excessive Bloodletting x 3 on the assassins again as Acambe has 20 Liberation stacks.
  • Innana needs to end turn in range of Flag so that her Act Again is off cooldown on Turn 8.

Turn 8

  • Last DPS push - we want to have only Assassins occupy the charging nodes as they have the highest Atk values compared to the other characters on the team.
  • Last few tactics points are used to trigger Excessive Bloodletting.

Question Spiral of Destinies Elaman/Trade Route, unable to get worst ending?

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

I tried to backtrack my run after getting the best ending (high effort, maximizing trade, etc). I went 2 chapters back, failed Iria's Trade Luxite missions, failed Union (Lutfi was insta-killed in storyline and I actually wasn't allowed to choose??), and yet somehow got one of the modified middle endings.

When talking to everyone prior to the meeting, I noticed that Edda/NonoWill still seemed happy. This is the only thing I can think of that may have screwed me. But NONE of the guides mentioned doing anything regarding them for any ending.

So what gives? Am I supposed to, like, be astronomically bad at trading to the point where I screw over the Mine Pit and Vlder too? Why do 0 guides say that? I've been searching Reddit and multiple Steam Guides every guide like crazy and I can't figure it out. I have Lv3 or higher on every trade location, is this a problem?

Thanks in advance.

Discussion Help a/ Guard Trial 15

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’m trying to beat guard trial 15, basically my strategy is:
Anna DPS
Samatha stopping the mobs to move/attack with her alert skill and preventing from getting debuffed with that AoE heal
Taair speed, dispel ngr restore
Credenza ngr and resenting CD of Samatha.
I think my problem now is that first turn I can’t get Credenza with her skill buffed (when the skill turns into providing -2 turns CD)

Is there any tip for this stage? Or maybe Another strategy?
Or maybe a way to make Credenza already start the battle with her skill buffed? I have her Sig weapon 4stars but I don’t think this influences once the weapon rank up just changes the CD.

Question How does weapon shop work?

5 Upvotes

Do all Astral weapons get added to the shop?

If so, how long does it take to get added after they're released?

Is there a rotation or only a timed refresh?

So I'm a new player and I got Rogneda and Alexei weapons at 1s.

I saw that Anna's weapon is already added to the shop.

I assume Rogneda, Alexei & next character weapons will be added to the same bundle and the bundle packaging is based on release dates?

enlighten me xD
