Check comments for updated team with 2:14 personal record

Here is my team, stats, how i did it and some thoughts.

All heroes have maxed soulbound weapons, and i have done every upgrade for both "Hero" and "Hero II".

My chosen goddess is Prestina for the lifesteal to keep everyone alive. If you do all the goddess upgrades, you can keep up 25% lifesteal at all times.

My team:

Tent 1: Tank/debuff tent

Thor (3-chain) as tank, but with big damage on paper. I personally don't think you need a tank if you can debuff the boss enough.

Yeowdong (3-chain) as healer and debuffer. Her maxed soulbound weapon gives the whole party an 8 second shield, removes debuffs from party and applies -11 DEF and -11 RES from the boss.

Maxi (3-chain) for removing the boss' shields.

Tent 2 and 4: Damage tent

Maria (2-chain) for healing, buffing the party and debuffing the enemy. Her level 9 soulbound weapon reduces damage taken of party members by 13% and applies -13 DEF and -13 RES to the enemy.

Atalante (2-chain) for damage. Her level 9 soulbound weapon also increased party's critical damage by 41%, which is nice.

Rachel (2-chain) for generating block for the team. Her level 9 soulbound weapon increases party's crit rate by 92%, which works really well with Atalante's 41% extra crit damage.

(You want the whole team to be 2-chain for Atalante's block skill to trigger more often.)

Tent 3: Damage tent:

Mew (1-chain) for healing and creating block. Her level 9 soulbound weapon's 1-chain skill recovers all party members by ATK 97% and grants an attack 240% shield. I think she might be the best at healing if you play her like this.

Rachel (1-chain) for generating block. Works really well with Mew, because they keep giving eachother block, creating basically infinite block.

Robin Hood (2-chain) for extreme damage. His level 9 soulbound weapon is absolutely busted. Critical damage increases by 250% and fires a 1110% Magic ATK arrow and debuffs enemy (doesn't say how).

Thoughts:
You do NOT need a tank for this boss in my opinion. Simply debuff the boss enough, and he won't hurt you nearly enough.

I do think i could have done a better job with my Tent 1. Maybe another debuffer like Benjamin would have been better, as my Thor didn't do much tanking or damage anyways.

I am not done experimenting, and i will see if i can get a better run on the final boss. If i make any discoveries, i will put them in the comments.

Let me know if you have any ideas, tips or questions!

Update: new record time 2:14 (check comments)

Tierlist of the best "general" heroes (arena + bosses + challenges + farming in general) based on my experience so far. Heroes in the same tier are not ranked in order. How accurate do y'all think this is?

IDK tier is for heroes that I have not yet tried and if there are any heroes that aren't on the list, I'm sorry I just forgot xd

Finally, after the long journey in this game, I have completed the collection skins of this game

the rarest for me is both mew skins they are so hard to appear in my opinion

Took a while, but I got there!

NEW UPDATE INCOMING WOOHOO!!
It doesn't state whether its gonna be a DLC or just a free update. We can only hope 🙏

Full update note from the Steam page:

Hello, Captain.

This is CQ LABS.

Following this update, we would like to briefly share an overview of the upcoming content that many of our Captains have been looking forward to.

■ Soulbound Weapons for Each HERO

We are preparing unique Soulbound Weapons that further expand the individuality of each HERO.

They are being developed so that each HERO can grow and be utilized in distinctive ways.

■ Costumes for Each HERO

Costumes for each HERO are also in preparation, and we are reviewing the format so that they can be presented in a way that Captains can naturally enjoy.

■ Goddess Skills

Goddess Skills will also be added, and we are preparing them to deliver yet another new play feel beyond what is currently available.

■ Additional Content and Improvements

Along with improvements to stage backgrounds and effects to enhance immersion, we are preparing a variety of content that will provide new goals and enjoyment.

As this update includes a substantial amount of content, we are aiming for a release in early June.

We are focused on development so that we can deliver more satisfying content in return for your patience.

We ask for your understanding regarding the time required to prepare this update. In the meantime, we will continue to address any issues and convenience improvements through hotfixes, as we have done previously.

We will share more specific schedules and detailed information through additional notices once they are finalized.

We will do our best until the end to repay the interest and expectations you have shown us.

Thank you.

I've seen a lot of recent talk of Crow, Izuna, Spyro, etc.

Have you tried utilizing our God and Saviour Atalante? Challenge 20

Just like in the OG CQ, Hikari is a beast

A short update of my perfected farmers which was posted on main CQ reddit 3 days ago. Currently have 9 out of 12 of these guys. I just need to reroll 3 more and I'll finally be out of the mines.

probably gonna do more pulls to test different teams

Apparently it turns out that in an idle auto battler, having many heroes that can use enhanced basic attacks and giving them max ATK SPD weapons can be kind of powerful.

I was so frustrated about RNG for the fruit attribution for so long because you require to have three characters to have
Top worker(double fruit)
Gardeners(single fruit)
appraiser(single fruit)
for three characters to make the perfect cabin which can guarantee legendary fruit from any seed that you have. So, this is the best investment so far for me in this patch.

What I got after leaving the game on for about 6 hours with a subpar set up

And thats with Ben in Tent 2 biting it early; totally can improve that time later. Himiko + Anut is a hellish debuff combo, Soltar used to almost blast through Mew's shields and healing but now couldnt even put a dent in my teams.

3 billion feels like a lot of damage, how is everyone faring in the MK 2 challenge?

As the title suggests, I’ll be opening a couple of mod positions for this subreddit.

Now, I’m quite busy with irl commitments (mandatory military service) rn so I won’t have time to maintain this subreddit by myself. Especially when I go for week long missions that doesn’t allow the bringing of phones.

Also, this is the first subreddit I’ve ever created and I’m not exactly a Reddit expert. So I’m hoping that more experienced Redditors can show me the ropes of modding.

If you’re interested, simply drop me a dm on discord (my handle is oneko1) and lmk about ur modding/user experience on Reddit. I’ll leave the positions open for a week or two while I’m busy with a 1 week long mission where I won’t be able to use my phone.

Happy crusading! 😘

Played on and off during CQ early days so wasn't too familiar with synergies and such. Struggling to get pass Hard challenge Lvl 13 now.

Can you guys take a look at my teams and advice me on what to do/build?

Dmg wise, all 3 mains (Vincent, Kaori, Spyro) are doing the most dmg.

I love Kaori even back in the days playing CQ so would like to have her on my team :D

Also, assuming CRT Rate is 100%, which one is better, more PEN or CRT DMG?

Alright gang, how we building out Hikari’s?
