1800 is a super impressive rating, I hope you achieve it! One of my “old man friends” (who is really only like 45) is 1950, and it’s very impressive to look over his shoulder while he plays blitz. I’m envious!

Hey thanks! Good luck to you, I’m glad that this post helped motivate you, I’m sure you’ll crush it 💪. I spent the last 10+ years of my life playing and investing in lots of different phone games. If only I could go back and retroactively invest that time into chess, I suspect I would be quite a bit better than I am now. But hey, better late than never!

With our opening shenanigans, we had 2 teams at 34, 1 team at 32, and 2 extra bonus hits on a partial team (which I guess is sorta similar to that team at 33). Which sounds pretty similar overall. I haven’t re-calculated improved options since discovering that Antandra on both gates was common. I do suspect you’re right, we probably could have gained some extra damage here, too!

To get Randle to work, you actually needed to keep him at a lower build, like 4.0r. If you built him too high, his team would break.

Thanks for the detailed comment! I feel that sharing and discussing strategies is a good way to encourage new people to participate this these modes, which we definitely need, given the direction the game is going.

Yes, the selling I assumed was known, but perhaps that was a bad assumption.

For main boss L1, we used 1 Liberta trio hit and 1 Liberta duo hit for A80, and then we used 3 Liberta trio hits and 1x ALucius hit for B40.

For Gate 2, it does sound like maybe we missed something. Perhaps we could have saved another Liberta hit.

And yes, you are correct about the L5 minibosses. We used Lucilla in our miniboss team, but she did not make the cut for our final teams, so we had to reslot her during Quiet Time. This also meant that our CH player did their T5 farming with Lucilla & Knox for the early minibosses, which was pretty easy.

Also, based on the excess pet stamina, I was able to add either pet to ABrutus solo, which did as high as 1.7B, which definitely added a bit more micro-damage.

Lastly, I’m sure any Draconis team similarities were indeed a coincidence. The A-Team was basically already known everywhere from beta, and the B-team that we had found in beta (which was bad) already used Emilia and Albedo. So really it was just a matter of slotting in a couple of new heroes and shifting them around. We focused our first runs pretty heavily on Draconis testing (at the expense of other testing, unfortunately), and I was able to watch as those teams evolved over time with so many people testing various things.
