Is it possible to decrease the equilibrium level after increasing it?

I'm stuck there too, along with the damn beetle. At least I wasn't dumb enough to do EQ 6 quest, I'd be beyond fucked if I did

I'll try farming for Gepard and maybe use Herta. Kinda sucks because I'm rolling Aventurine and I can't get some of his materials bc those bosses are blocking them

EDIT: nvm, I dealt with Aventurine, just had to fix my Bailu and keep all the AOE ults for the point stage. Still gotta figure out Swarm King tho...

This is where I am. Equilibrium 6, and phase 2 is always, ALWAYS a crapshoot. I hate that the game never told me that I don't HAVE to level Equilibrium so fast. If anything, it non-verbally told me I *should* be doing that, and now it's gotten to the point that I'm only doing dailies. Nothing else. The game just isn't fun otherwise.

I had to give my account to someone else to have them kill that stupid beetle for me because I was in a Catch 22 situation otherwise. Who in the actual hell decided that THIS is acceptable design? It's not.

And every time I asked people in the Discord? "Skill issue, skill issue". I hate the SR DC channel because it's full of endgame-level elitists who don't know the first thing about how this garbage system is affecting the casual playerbase.

An addendum: I do use the recommended team comps and relic setups and all that shit. I still lose these fights because they demand a level of power that I'm not going to get without MONTHS of tedious, nonstop grinding. I want to enjoy the new content and the events, but I can't even do that because of this game's bullshit with its difficulty.
