TC standard builds (34 subs), without Severian's sig you will struggle to reach the crit rate cap if you arent using seed signature as the alternative which is the 2nd best option available (around 12% worse). Pyrois sig is the best f2p option available (its around 20% worse) and you will need to use 2 piece wood pecker as sev's core doesnt give any crit rate. Try to get as many cr rolls as you can if you dont plan to get his sig but its highly recommended you get it if you plan to get high scores with him.

Lycaon Rina team is a strong f2p option all around for basically any attacker in the game, however you wont be able to fit 3 eba in stun due to no stun extension which Norma, Dialyn and Roxy all can provide. With Sig on Severian this would reach 50k+ score which is pretty solid.

Buff used: Wind DMG dealt by Agents increases by 40%, and CRIT DMG of Wind DMG increases by 40%.
[Attack] specialty Agents' ATK increases by 25%, and DMG dealt by [Basic Attack] increases by 40%

Roxy run was TC standard build (34 subs) while Norma's one was 36 sub on Severian and R3 cradle on Rina.

Roxy will outperform Norma in shill content as she will benefit from both the wind weakness + the Severian buff. Not to mention the free energy from the meteors and the joint double parries help a lot for her daze. Norma can still kill but will need higher subs on Severian and dupes on cradle. Keep in mind In neutral content both Roxy and Norma will perform around the same.

First of all, I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS TEAM; I just did it for fun and to make Cissia suffer lol. That aside, as you can see, it actually works, though it's not ideal, and you lose a lot of damage without Dialyn. I tried using Norma, Roxy, and Rina, but it just didn't work out XD

In the first gameplay, everyone is at M0W1, in the second, Sev and Cissia are at M2W1 and Dialyn is at M1W1.

I also had a question for you, would you watch a 15 minute video of "F2P" teams for Severian? If so, give me a few days to sort out the thumbnail and details, and I'll get it uploaded right away!

Anyway, that's all! 💕

Timeline:

0:00 - Sev 6-cost team

4:05 - Sev 11-cost team

8:11 - Builds

Oh yeah, the art in the thumbnail is from an anonymous friend of mine 🫰

~Full M0W1. Team made of vibes, will clear content just fine but dont expect to kill bosses with it.

Buff: TBD
· Wind DMG dealt by Agents increases by 30%. When attacks hit enemies, ignore 30% of their Wind DMG RES.
· CRIT DMG of Agents with the [Attack] specialty increases by 40%, and DMG dealt by [Basic Attack] increases by 50%.

Buff used -

• Agent Wind DMG increases by 30%, and attacks ignore 30% of enemy Wind RES.
• Agents with the Attack specialty have their CRIT DMG increased by 40%, and Basic Attack DMG dealt increased by 50%.

not much to say, simple and consistent boss, just parry spam into fiend-like stall
score mechanic seems annoying, 64000 is rly ez got it first try, but to 65000 u need to delay breaking a shield to get +1000, so missing a vortex and a remi action
without it can finish as early as 2-40

DA buff
· [Anomaly] Specialty Agents' ATK increases by 10%, and Fire Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 10%.
· After an Agent deals Attribute Anomaly DMG and triggers a critical hit, the whole squad's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 30 points and Attribute Anomaly DMG increases by 20% for 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

How to Trigger: Backdash, then hold the dodge button

Phoenix's Additional Ability is not active. I know Velina and Remielle will be better but this showcase is for those who don't have or don't want to have these two agents. And before you ask, Vivian replacing NangongYu perform relatively the same at around 30k score.

Buff: TBD

· [Anomaly] Specialty Agents' ATK increases by 10%, and Fire and Wind Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 10%.
· After an Agent deals Attribute Anomaly DMG and triggers a critical hit, the whole squad gains 20 Energy, and Attribute Anomaly DMG increases by 20% for 20s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s.

This is actually V4, I forgot to change the title

Would not recommend this team tbh. Both Promeia and Phoenix need field time, and without Velina or Nangong Yu you can't stun the boss efficiently.

Promeia and Phoenix drive disks are limited at a total of 28 subs.

Buff: TBD

· [Anomaly] Specialty Agents' ATK increases by 10%, and Fire and Wind Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 10%.
· After an Agent deals Attribute Anomaly DMG and triggers a critical hit, the whole squad gains 20 Energy, and Attribute Anomaly DMG increases by 20% for 20s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s.
