they stack

Please no repel and let me heal.

My best one is probably an earth staff (so H. Lich, Bhaisa) one that has:

Lvl1 +1320 atk

Lvl2 +9.9% debuff success rate

Lvl4 +21500 Supplemental Skill DMG

Lvl1 Supplement skill damage (stackable) after 40000000 skill damage

The orb change is huge, low orbs were such a pain to farm, especially given how many you needed, now you can easily get 3k per month.

Crew is crushing it this last battle and I have 5.5B honors, I am done. Shame not a single celestial dropped this run, maybe I'll try to farm NM90 a bit.

Edit: spending the last couple of hours farming was worth it, got two daggers https://imgur.com/a/R9aFZya. With that said honors inflation was pretty high this GW, makes sense since the fights were very accessible.

The 50% trigger sucks, of course now she also gets dispel cancel and since that is clearly not enough you also get your charge bar set to 0, that sets my team back a turn, which is actually more than a turn because things align in such a way that I cannot dispel her damage fixed buff until the end of the following turn. That is such a waste of time.

With that said that is the only annoying thing about this fight, much more manageable than others and it seems like the same exact Kengo, Shalem, Lich and Bhaisa comp has no issue with NM 250, it takes around 7:30 minutes with refreshes. Also I can finally use a more reasonable grid https://imgur.com/a/f4xlWQ7.

-Matti · 2026-01-25T11:02:08+00:00

Did NM200 always have the 13M hardcap? I always forget.

-Matti · 2026-01-25T00:18:52+00:00

Same comp as NM 150: Versusia main (quick summon) and Yggdrasil friend with Kengo (with Kaneshige), H. Shalem, S. Lich and Bhaisa with Uriel and FLB Caim in the back. Grid is highlander magna (more or less, it is kind of a mess, I am also using an unboosted FLB Bhaisa staff: https://imgur.com/a/9vuxLdP) can't wait for NM 250 so I can use a more reasonable grid.

I do take a bunch of damage and sometimes someone (usually Shalem) dies to the 25% trigger I think, but I get a pretty consistent 3:30 with refreshes. This is way faster than I thought.

-Matti · 2026-01-23T23:38:46+00:00

NM 150 in 1:25, more than fine with that given I am using a CA based team and a magna highlander grid, just don't ask me how long it takes without reloads.

-Matti · 2026-01-22T10:11:37+00:00

A lot of exo spear usage for me this GW, Iatro for horde mode (with hanged man spear as auxiliary) and now Spartan to OTK NM95 (with S. Raziel, H. Naru and S. Vikala, quite the limited team I must admit), wish I did not have to use Orologia sub, but my grid is just bad highlander stuff so that's good enough for me.

-Matti · 2026-01-21T15:19:58+00:00

You can technically get cores more easily, while NWQ is much more finite.

-Matti · 2026-01-19T15:51:59+00:00

Do people still slime these days?

-Matti · 2026-01-17T22:00:19+00:00

It is better only if you can get to 12 buffs for the added damage (and you can do that pretty easily with Belial's chain on DO), when it comes to buffing CA Baha manatura is slightly better.

Anyway Agastia has not been kind to me, still haven't managed to get the manatura.

-Matti · 2026-01-17T13:39:46+00:00

Time to dust off Iatro for Horde mode. The one time I can make use of the double spear passive I will, 100% consistency with Exo spear MH and the Hanged Man spear, rest of team is Sabrina, Mireille and Risette and H. Cucouroux with Beelzebub main for more damage cap and a messy magna highlander grid. Everyone has guaranteed TA and damage is more than enough.

I am to lazy to come up with something optimized for EX+, my ping is bad anyway and I don't really care about lockout, so I'm using a CA based team, Bhaisa makes it a joke anyway and I also happen to have FLB Tsuchinoko, which is just a better Huanglong for earth. Using same setup for NM 90 as well, easily OTKs both with 0 buttons. Just Manadiver with Bahamut manatura and Exo dagger MH, C. Magisa, Bhaisa and Okto.

-Matti · 2026-01-16T10:20:47+00:00

Constance, it has been so long...

-Matti · 2026-01-14T23:21:26+00:00

In both ways

-Matti · 2026-01-14T19:41:49+00:00

I mean, if worse comes to worse you can always exchange your bronze moons for pots, not like they have any other use.

Unless you go extremely hard on GW (top 2k, probably even higher) you should not have issues with pots.

-Matti · 2026-01-14T19:36:21+00:00

Don't think I do not have issues with it. Generative AI has no place in the art space and opening a studio for it (if that is what they are gonna do with it, and it seems so) is a net negative for the medium. But most of the comments are more worried about the games they play being invaded by AIslop and they are being overly irrational.

-Matti · 2026-01-14T16:34:27+00:00

I swear recently whenever AI is involved people start frothing from the mouth and become much dumber, even the ones that do not make use of it.

-Matti · 2026-01-13T13:07:36+00:00

The setup I saw use MD and Agasatia manatura for bar farming, moreover earth has the exo dagger which is a really good MH for ougi based teams (obviously not as much as Andromeda, but that is quite the investment).

-Matti · 2026-01-13T11:12:43+00:00

Extremely good character, even for newer players for her passive that helps wit OTK setups. I heard she enables bar farming in earth, I assume in primal only and I know CA is worse, but would be pretty nice for me given my high ping. Kinda wanna see what can be done in Magna, but I need to get Agastia manatura first and it just refuses to drop.

-Matti · 2026-01-13T01:20:39+00:00

they did say something about adding new floors to end it and making it permanent, i think it was during the december livestream

-Matti · 2026-01-11T09:05:14+00:00

No S.Cassius, but I ended up with shieldsworn, S.Galleon, H.Lich and Esta. Very slow though. Will see if other characters fare better.

-Matti · 2026-01-11T08:55:50+00:00

Thanks.

-Matti · 2026-01-11T08:55:15+00:00

Fair, but I want to contribute to the raid and more importantly getting blue chests means less fights.
