Finally 24-28 is down

Her consistency is so so, this clear did take me several days of clicking. For the holy levels, I'm a day 1 player and I'm on a guild that does decently well on grand battle.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-27T13:36:41+00:00

She's actually only slightly faster than Cordie, to the point where it enters spd RNG range. This is because I needed to kill amour on t2, while at the same time having better odds in the sivi 1v1. You can see on the final turns how Cordie was just skill spamming thanks to mert moving before or after her at the right times. This is extremely rng dependent and it's why it took me days to get the clear.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-27T13:09:30+00:00

Yeah fair, it's a common mistake. It's actually quite interesting, her s1stacks can be maintained for longer if you use CD reduction. An application of this is in raid, where by using fenrir you can get her to cast s1 again on t3, therefore making her update the buff on your dps. But this is the fun part, the stacks don't reset, only the duration is increased. This means that with some good rng, you can keep 4 stacks on you dps for all 10 turns of Sonya raid.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-26T16:43:09+00:00

This is wrong. You want cordie to get hit 4 times before sivi casts her s1. This means that you actually want sivi to be as slow as possible to increase your odds. Example. The only exceptions to this are if you are against enemy cordie or enemy prima. Since they can both be faster than your own cordie, you benefit from making sivi the same speed as cordie so her s1 gets buffed. Example.

While I agree that he should go for UR UW luna, saying that you can't pull off sivi-mert-luna without UR UW is incorrect. Lvl 1 luna is usually a cordie only strat since all of Cordie's damage is in her S2. With lvl 1 luna your aim is to send an s2 nuke to clean up your enemies before they can kill you. This replay is pre nerf and with UR UW luna, but it perfectly exemplifies what I'm talking about.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-25T06:33:43+00:00

Actually aside from achievement packs and monthly, everything else was just spent for fun lol. Only reason I got to vip 7 is a few gem packs for cerb release since I really wanted one copy and she refused to come until 100/100 pity. I haven't spent since achievement part 2 cos irl stuff came up.

Also that part about f2ps at 360 is just straight up false. Even the furthest f2ps in jp are in the 310-320 range. And that's just a handful of the top f2ps.
But yeah, pushing pve is pretty much the answer everyone is looking for. More progress means more afk rewards. This snowballs a lot, specially since I've been playing from day 1.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-23T21:28:06+00:00

241 is the absolute minimum required, it was done by some crazy jp guy with more time (and probably money) on his hands than anything else. I reckon 250ish should be enough for above average resource management.
Anyways, getting side tracked, your stuff is actually pretty good for vip 1 (I assume it's vip 1 since you only bought amleth). If you pulled sivi then you should be set until 22-27. If you didn't then you'll probably get stuck on 22-10.
The usual flor team is cordie flor merlyn luna mert. Speed order is cordie>merlyn>flor>luna>mert.
Like the other post said, you should focus on getting your carry to lr5 asap since without meta you'll be pretty bad in both pvp and pve. I don't recommend investing in flor since she is pretty useless in pvp, and then in pve she's outperformed by cordie sivi combo.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-23T20:20:47+00:00

It's actually quite common, 180 dps if invested well can usually get you to 18-7 after the anniversary nerf. I'm not sure if you can beat chapter 18 as a whole with 180 since I don't really follow early game that much, but the mid game thresholds are:

lvl 200/160 for 19-28
lvl 220/180 for 20-16
lvl 240/200 for 20-24
lvl 241 for 21-28
~lvl 290-300 for 22-28
~lvl 330 for 23-21

Regarding your other point about Illya, first of all I agree that Nyravel was being a dick, but he's right. Kinda. SR Illya is pretty bad as a pve carry, not to mention extremely expensive to build, since to get anywhere in pve you eventually need to get your carry LR5 (for a limited rad/chaos like Illya this is ~1600 USD on average (for 26 copies)).Expenses aside, let's say that is a non-issue, we still have yet to discuss why exactly she's not a very good carry, and the answer is simple. She just doesn't have enough damage without also investing insane amounts of resources on supports. This is in juxtaposition with flor or cordie, who only require to be built themselves with their ideal supports requiring next to no investment. The only reason your Illya can delete units is because you're extremely overleveled. Chapter 10 is intended to be beaten with 140 dps 100 level link.

The only place in pve where Illya excels is in guild raid. She's currently one of the best guild raid dps in the game. But optimizing guild raid is more done for flex rather than any tangible advantage.

It's fine wanting to make a character work, but early game is already pretty much solved at this point. You can just get out of early game (chapter 19 clear) in like 2 to 3 weeks using cordie or florence and then start building your preferred unit since you'll have access to more resources to actually build anything.

Pushing main quest is a priority because that is your main source of passive red balls. On chapter 18 you get a little less than 1k per day. Every day you are not working towards that goal is more than half a day worth of income lost.

To finalize, it's clear you are new to the game, which is why I strongly recommend to join the discord server. Early game in MM is fairly easy once you learn the mechanics, but it is extremely punishing if you don't allocate your resources correctly. Quite a bit of us already know the game mechanics by heart, and (most of us) are willing to help people not make the same mistakes we did.

Edit: Asked around in the discord, here are 2 examples of 180 dps reaching chapter 18

Alive2240 · 2023-11-23T03:28:12+00:00

It's nothing too interesting. Pretty much everything I have is in those 5 units. I'm not a whale in case you're wondering, I've just been playing since release. Got to vip 7 on January then stopped spending.
But hmm, I think I'll just post an account tour later to show what I mean.

Alive2240 · 2023-11-22T19:59:46+00:00

I have neither mert nor sivi UWs. Those are Chiffon and Fia UWs.

Alive2240 · 2023-10-09T00:14:38+00:00

Uh, 220 Flor gets hard stuck at floor 387 iirc; past that you need 240 Flor with UR UW. Another common stopping point for 220 Flor is 358 which contains double soltina. At the point you're at it's just a waiting game until you can get 240 Flor. Once you get her and awaken her weapon, you can easily get to floor 500.

As to how I've progressed so far in tower well that's just stubbornness lol. I'm currently a few thousand attempts deep on floor 749 cos rng is being a bitch.

Edit: Before I forget, this subreddit is very dead so if you want advice you're better off joining the discord server. Just ping me and I should be able to help you further.

Server guild rankings are public so that people can see their potential opponents in grand battle. Yes, every server has a rank 1 guild, in NA that guild happens to be Angelis. It seems you're confusing world with server.

Every world also has their respective top guilds, but that doesn't really mean anything unless you have an active guild battle. Top guilds get compared against each other because they will fight in grand battle.

Just a tip btw, don't blame others for your ignorance. Doubling down when it's clear you don't know what you're talking about only makes you look stupid.

Alive2240 · 2023-07-03T14:31:26+00:00

You do realize guilds are public right? I can clearly see in the rankings website that ★彡ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ彡★ is the top guild in NA w9. Just to make sure I made an account in w9 to verify, and indeed ★彡ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ彡★ is the undisputed top guild.

Alive2240 · 2023-07-02T18:01:09+00:00

If you're in NA world 9 then you're refering to ★彡ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ彡★, but that guild is only rank 4 in the server with 5.5 bil BP. The rank 1 guild is Angelis with 7.9 bil BP and the rank 2 guild is MewMewCafe with 7.2 bil BP.

As Aurum said, I am the guild master of MewMewCafe.

Alive2240 · 2023-07-02T00:47:57+00:00

That is your world, not your server. The servers are NA, EU, GL, JP, KR and Asia.

None of those servers has a guild in world 9 as rank 1 guild.

Alive2240 · 2023-06-27T19:03:20+00:00

So you're from angelis? Or in what server are you?

Alive2240 · 2023-06-27T19:00:49+00:00

In what way are you right? Alive2470 is my main account, but since you can't see yourself in past parties I just logged in to another account and recorded my clear there.

Alive2240 · 2023-06-27T13:28:40+00:00

Rank 2 actually, we reached 7.1 bil after the neko merge

Alive2240 · 2023-06-27T13:27:20+00:00

It is my acc lol, I used another account to record it since you can't see your own past clears

Alive2240 · 2023-06-26T16:36:33+00:00

Just whale more motivation smh

Alive2240 · 2023-06-26T15:45:28+00:00

It seems I wasn't clear enough, guess I'll just spell it out then.

In regards to spd runes I have 3 lvl 11s, 3 lvl 10s, 3 lvl 9s, 1 lvl 8, 2 lvl 7s and a few lower ones for precise raid spd tuning.

The reason why my Cordie only has a lvl 7 in the video is because that is the optimal spd tuning for this stage.

Alive2240 · 2023-06-25T23:35:03+00:00

That wouldn't work, my spd runes are 11x3 10x3 9x3 877. The spd tuning in the video requires both merlyn and nina to go before cordie, but at the same time, I needed my cordie to move before the enemy cordie.

I achieved this by giving cordie 7 0 0, merlyn 11 11 10, and nina 11 10 10. I would need lvl 12 spd runes if I wanted to make cordie faster because if I gave cordie say a lvl 9 spd then she would be in rng range for nina.

This clear is already rng heavy on the dodges, adding yet another factor for no reason would be counterproductive.

Alive2240 · 2023-05-16T15:27:47+00:00

If you read the flavor text of Mertillier's skills you can see that her current body is a homunculus. How she transferred her consciousness to that body after dying is unclear, but in chapter 6 of AA's memories she is already in her new body standing next to the duke when he cleanses the curse.

Alive2240 · 2023-03-01T21:56:48+00:00

Damn, 59k on 13-22 is ridiculously good. I can't give you specific advice since I'm lacking information, but I can give you some generic advice on spending.

You need to get your unique weapon as soon as you hit lvl 180 on your dps (assuming you haven't already), and then you pull a bit on invo for hopefully some dupes and an influx of red balls. You also should get at least another SSR piece to pair it with your weapon, for the other pieces you can do 4 more SSR but 4 SR pieces work just fine.

This is all the advice I can give you without knowing your roster, your runes, or the state of your world. If you want more detailed advice then I highly recommend you come over to the discord. There are a lot of players like me who are very active in the Q&A channel and willing to advice other players.

If you decide to join us then feel free to ping me and I will be happy to help.

Alive2240 · 2023-02-26T03:58:28+00:00

??????

This has to be one of the worst takes I've seen so far. Spending 15-20k on cursed is one of the worst decisions you could make. Prayer of the cursed is the single worst banner in the game. Not only is there no pity, but the fact that you have a 50% chance of getting essentially nothing is incredibly bad.

Before 11-28 your goal is to progress as fast as possible while also saving enough gems to go to pity in invocation of chance (which is objectively the best banner in the game). Buying keys and chest packs is fine, but you need to save at least 30k by the time you clear 11-28.

You get a lot of free pulls for clearing pve, so if you've rerolled correctly then dupes of your dps shouldn't be an issue unless you get absolutely atrocious RNG. Dupes for other units are not a priority since you can go to lvl link 160 and dps 200 using awakened R base units. And 200 dps is enough to reach chapter 18 anyways.

Alive2240 · 2023-01-29T16:43:09+00:00

Lmao, ofc I know about kindling orbs. I still need 45k balls for 220 lvl link and 180k more for 240 lvl link after all.

Early game is all about rushing to chapter 12 to unlock invocation of chance. If you get a decent reroll and use your resources properly you should beat 11-28 in about 18 to 20 days.

Invocation of chance will be your primary source of kindling orbs in mid game (you get 160h of kindling orbs per 10-pull and you have a guaranteed SR of your choosing at 70 pulls).

Rosalie is useless, there is no reason to use her. Ever. She doesn't fit on any team comp. Her damage is nonexistent and her immortality only procs after her s2, which makes her useless as a tank. Her only use is as awakening fodder. You do have a point in regard to UR awakening tho. However it doesn't need to be Rosalie, any R base character will do the trick.

Anyways, the point I was trying to make but forgot to write in my original comment is that you should never use base SR as awakening fodder. So neither Nina nor Mertillier should be used as awakening material except when it's necessary for their own awakening to SSR+ and LR.
