my team has been clara / m7 / natasha / tingyun and i feel so powerful, follow-up attacks constantly with svarog's laser just blowing everybody up. feels bad having to see a little girl cry all the time, but that's a small price to pay

if i could get bailu to replace natasha i feel like i'd be sitting pretty, but it's not really necessary for now

Would he be a better option over Welt or Dan for a Tingyun team? Not sure if her attack buff works on the dots.
Swap Dan out for him, yes, the buffs work on the DOTs if Sampo has the buffs on when he applies them.

finally managed to power through World 3 by just going all-in on Shielding and Shielding accessories like some kind of Space Hank Hill

feels good

god World 4 is a joke though..I guess World 3 is meant to be "the wall' that makes you interact with the roguelite, consistent progression element of it all - but holy smokes did they ever overtune it

Yeah, the thing that makes both of those easy is The Hunt resonance with the powerup that refunds charge on kill, and just using that to nuke the adds. But you have to buy those abilities in the progression system.

I don't really have a consistent team, other than always having a shielder.

The only healer I have is Natasha, but I haven't actually reached a point where I feel the need to have her leveled up. Except maybe the final guy of World 3.

I'm at the stage where I want to level and use everyone.... but that's right before the point where it's actually going to cost some significant investment to keep all the characters I want to play leveled and traced.

Beat world 3 on the second try, first time I lost to one of the shield guys who summons a bunch of dudes since I didn't have good single target dps to take down the little guys quickly. Got lucky on the second run and didn't hit that guy.

I have level 40 characters with level 40 cores, and a little bit of relic upgrading and skill upgrading. The someone dies then doesn't, put them at 1% hp and the all damage is shared by the party, with the upgrade to reduce it by 15% as well are the main preservation blessings that let me pull it off. Sushang, Natasha, March, and Bronya for the team, though Bronya didn't really contribute much. Had some other blessing for more survivability and hunt blessings for damage helping out my Sushang.

Remember to level your hat relics for the hp, characters not getting one shot has been very, very important for surviving combat.

Some ill-advised pulling got me 2 copies of ice sword boy (1 from standard, 1 from limited) so now I think I'm obligated to build him as a 5* with consteidolons. All I really wanted was clara. Only having a single non-5* healer feels a bit weird too, since it basically means I'll have to shove both shielding units into a second team to handle incoming damage.



Suggestions on effective teamcomps with this roster? I have mostly been running with fireMC/bronya/natasha/serval thus far. Just made it to space china and the enemies who res are annoying to deal with. It's starting to take more than ~1.5 rounds to wipe normal encounters too, so it feels like its time for a team switchup.

e4 hook is a legend and you're close there, but I would say you're basically running three supports so the issue is serval and you need more dps

or one less support

This would prolly be pretty excellent. If you'd rather save Bronya for a Team B though Tingyun would also work real well to further boost Yanqing's damage output.

Falling into despair everytime someone posts their roster cuz I've only got 11 characters, except one of them's that nerd with the dog that I'm never gonna use so I've actually only got 10. All I get are dupes and cones and dupes and cones and dupes and cones [beatboxing]. The gacha brainworms are surely working their dark magic...

It was mentioned earlier that every unit gets a cool, dope ultimate animation in this game and that really does make a huge game feel difference I think. It's super nice that it's not only 5*s that get to be over the top. Heck Dan Heng has one of the dopest ult animations and he's a freebie story 4* unit!

Sampo can turn into a monster in Simulated Universe, with Nihility buffs pumping his DoT effects way up. That was one way I found to beat World 3 -- while damage can't penetrate Shield for All directly, the DoTs could and ate away the megashield in nothing flat in one run.

There we go. Jeeze. I stubbornly refused to swap out for Nat for the debuff and instead just stacked disillusion and freeze blessings and even then the last few turns were 3 of my party mind controlled and only won due to the big freeze damage nuke from disillusion at the end of their turn.

The roguelike really depends on your blessing/curio rng, and can make or break your run. My success on world 5 came right after a failure when I changed up my blessing alignment.

World 6 seems rough though at equilibrium 2. Might have to wait for that one.

What is stopping me from starting a Simulated World run and picking the 50 token -> curio option to hopefully buy a curio I haven't collected, and then immediately quitting the run to collect my 30 jade currencies? I need a few hundred jades to finish off this 10-pull...

I was completely flabbergasted at people talking about how easy they found world 4. The boss there is absolutely murderous unless you have some pretty intense DPS, with his last phase seemingly 100% designed to punish turtle strats. First time I went in to him with a mediocre blessing build I got absolutely flattened, and second time I squeaked by narrowly because he decided to grab Bailu 3 times in a row and completely lock out my healing for the entirety of phase 3.

God tier blessing synergy makes things very easy, and mediocre/bad blessings makes things borderline impossible.

Serval + Fire MC + Nihility tree made easy work of it. If you get the blessing that prevents DoTs from falling off, you pretty much auto win because stacks are preserved between phase transitions. By turn two you'll likely have 99 stacks and every time he takes a turn he'll lose like 25% of his hp, likewise for all the adds that get summoned.

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
People talked about the freeze blessings build being good in the Simulated Universe, but I didn't realize that Disassociation seemingly does %max HP damage. So it stunlocks AND the blessing that allows you to remove Disassociation when attacking can do 20% of a boss's HP bar.

With level 50 Fire MC/Bailu/Himeko/Tingyun with all +6 to +9 purple gear the hand grabs in phase 3 were hitting level 50 characters for around 1000 damage alongside the disable, and if a hand got to live long enough its self destruct slam would hit people for about 2k, and he was summoning a new hand every turn. :haw:

You get a freebie lightcone from the 3rd world's currency shop that makes Harmony characters give an attack boost to whoever goes after them; seems like that works well with Bronya.
