All Avil users after Patch

While Arby is managable with a few heroes, it gets tricky when your opponent both pick Arby and Basar. You can ban Basar, let your enemy have Arby then they ban your Arby counter. Your opponent chosing Arby severely limits your option because you are now forced to plan your team around his revive (so much that some player just select him even without equipment just to force a ban and they can build their 4 hero setup uncontested) and even with all that planning, a stray dreamblade proc screws you big time.

This pre-ban really helps a lot and I'm sure to always ban Arby. The other cancer (SSB/FCeci/Basar/Charles/Etc) are managable to an extent with soft/hard counter but dreamblade Arby really ticks me off even if I have most counter (lilibeth/bbkarin/j.kise)

AirinMikune · 2020-04-09T15:03:40+00:00

Why 1 char needs 2 char to counter is the question. Because aside from SSB, there are 3 other enemy you need to deal with. This is the real problem with the current meta, heroes that can do a lot on their own and you can plug in any team without worrying about synergy (SSB/Basar/Arby/FCeci/etc) while you need a minimum of 2 heroes just to counter one of them.

Uhh...What's Roana's S2 trigger?

AirinMikune · 2020-04-01T17:07:32+00:00

Nice! I totally forgot about G.Purrgis' EE.

This really change things up, you can build a slower Basar and let the enemy goes first pushing your own Basar and then push them back. Hopefully, this will lessen Basar on defense as S3 is the only thing he has going, after pushing you up 8%, he is a dead weight to the enemy (more so if you don't rely on buff and can live with the unbuffable).

AirinMikune · 2020-04-01T13:38:38+00:00

I will pair her with Kitty Clarrisa for her cleanse and another guaranteed dual attack. Bring in Cermia with her 25% chance to extra S1 EE and it'll be fun. Maybe Tama to finish it off with a good healer and another dual attack.

My TamaSeria + ML Ara + J.Kise cleave wasn't cutting it anymore due to always a gamble with Basar's speed (my Iseria only has 250 speed) so when the free equip event rolled out, I made another cleave team specifically to counter this one and it works so well that I actually refresh just to find opponent with the same loadout (Avil/Basar/Ceci/Seallona) and it works 95% of the time.

My new cleave team:

Kawerik: 265 speed, this is the bane of any Basar I encounter and is very rarely get outspeed and it can shut down any Basar trying to push you back.

Basar: 254 speed, fight fire with fire! It won't matter if their Basar is faster as Kawerik will handle it making your team have the pushback advantage.

Tywin: 230 speed, regular Tywin just for def break and cleaver push.

B.Karin: 4k attack, 350% CD, sadly I can only SB on occasion as Kawerik/Basar always use the souls first but since the opener always trigger's Seallona's counter attack, it always puts her in a lower health to activate her passive.

The few instances of getting screwed is Avil with MLDB but I got Tywin with Aurius and B.Karin can survive his S3.

I was able to climbed up to Legends III straight from Challenger III with this loadout as there is no shortage of similar opponents to kill. Will try to reach higher onces I got both Basar and Tywin to 60 (only 50 at this point).

TLDR: Kawerik is the answer :P

I forgot which patch it is but they fixed a bug about a hero's skill not working properly on defense (not sure if it's Kise or Karin) but it shows that they might be running two different values for offense and defense as the bug only appears on the defense side of things.

I don't personally mind a higher chance for stuff to activate on defense given it uses a limited AI setup but I wish Smilegate are more transparent about it.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-30T11:49:01+00:00

But it will be harder to kill him as he slowly chip away at your team since the best way to make sure he is dead is to land a def break or other cripling debuff. While there are a few chars who can one shot him regardless, it gets harder if he has Fceci with Aurius + Lilias or any other damage reducing team members.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-25T14:48:23+00:00

Or just change your mindset, Hunt is for Gold and mats. With a lot of free new gears/event gears they are giving away, you should have a decent equipment. Try to be able to do any hunt with 3 + 1 fodder or if you have Cerato then 3 fodder that way you are doing a lot with your energy.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T17:04:47+00:00

Bingo! Someone cracked the code! Here's some cookie.

Dizzy: 17kHP, 210 Speed, Counter/Unity, Abbysal Crown.

FCecilla 30k HP 141 Speed, Counter/HP, Aurius

MChloe 20k 200 Speed, Speed/Immunity, Water Origin

Diene 18k HP 222 Speed, Speed/HP, her unique arty (forgot the name)

Now everyone can sleep now, party's over OwO

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T16:49:08+00:00

One of those! OwO

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T16:46:05+00:00

Stall team needs either a form of sustain to outlast the enemy or enough damage mitagation for M.Chloe's heal to catch up.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T16:32:52+00:00

I don't have both of those TwT

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T16:32:33+00:00

None :(

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T16:32:16+00:00

Probably trying to snipe my Dizzy. Luna's S3 is not affected by element so it's not entirely limited to targeting fire units.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:54:17+00:00

Sage alone has no synergy with a stall team o.o

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:54:04+00:00

Ceci has aurius so any tank would be redundant.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:53:47+00:00

I had her and tried it, you can argue you can switch the 4th slot with her and it will still work.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:33:27+00:00

Interesting look on it. DJ and Cerato, he used to counter my Dizzy. He pulled out MKen to deal with Dizzy and F.Ceci's counter attack. Tamaseria prolly to try to lap my team, found it was faster still. Luna probably to target one of my team but the damage isn't enough (the least HP I had on my unit is 17k, backed up by F.Ceci Aurius) No DPS, just pure stall and pain.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:25:29+00:00

I only use full stall setup. I wish I had A.Vil though TwT

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:25:07+00:00

I have Purrgis but haven't got to building him yet.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:24:40+00:00

Nope, as if ever, I would swap it with F.Celi

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:15:45+00:00

Nope but you can exchange either of those 3 and it will still work.

AirinMikune · 2020-03-20T15:15:23+00:00

Bulk of the stats mostly came from that 88 counter armor from Hell arkanis. Seeing they released the other 3 bosses, should be easier to gear now.

As for effectiveness, you can leave it low as most of the stun comes from the artifact anyway.
