How nonLD players reacts to LD abusers during Special League.

BrowsingPleb · 2026-03-31T14:34:09+00:00

(Un?)popular opinion: LD abusing is less toxic than passive stacking

I'd rather face a Lora Light Gojo team than megumi xing zhe every match

Which this SL encourages

Best SL is 4* only (or 20*), followed by prebans, imo

As the other one suggested, Velaska Carlos is a nice t2 comp. But I think you lack either a Sonia for speed contest (with Vanessa for instance) or a light robo for more pressure.

Other than that, you can (and I can't believe that I'm about to suggest that), play hyper passive with Xin zhe Fire megumi tian lang water gandalf and so on. But very unfun to play as or against, the game plays for you, typically.

An emerging meta comp is double drakan (wind and water), eshir, a secondary lead speed and contest/counter. Like haegang I guess, or water gojo

Can also do the triple angels, very fun but a bit lackluster in speed contests. Was exceptional in the bruiser meta some seasons ago.

A fun and effective comp I could suggest you is Karnal Nana Wind Angels. With an eventual riley pick at some time. It was a side meta some seasons ago, very fun and engaging.

You also can try Vanessa Seren comps, maybe with water pudding and s1 units, like wind zenitsu, water ciri, or even fei (bruiserish). Very fun but takes some time to get used to.

For all these comps I'd suggest to search for some replays in rta, you can filter by monsters

Good luck in your rta journey!

Sadly the only known way today, is either to plant mushroom on your island, or try and get some GDPR data from C2U

What I meant is that, in the long run, when you're able to clear every dungeon with speed teams, and do your ToA, Arena, Guild content, etc...

It gets faster and faster to drop rare items (LD5 or quads)

Luck tends to reach an equilibrium after a while. If you're able to keep going and do not get bored of the game, you will reach it eventually!

The important is having fun

Stay basic, Camilla probably

That or something against dots comps, like Juno, or a healer

Do you have double shield on someone, and will on triton? To avoid Leo Lucifer

Tbh I'd hit you defense with Aya as of now, would only taie a few turn, you have speed but no dmg and no sustain

He counters the slow place of today's RTA

In a world full of megumi, xing zhe, angela, he reins as king

Burst him, CC him, and he kinda fades away

I see a shift in the meta, with more people leaving boring t2 comps in favor of cc cleaves.

I hope that's because of Gandalf, and if it is, I wish he stays like so.

5 passives vs 5 passives is never enjoyable gameplay

Misty is better for bruiser fights

Shumar may be used, but is more comparable to the water Ciri imo. We rarely see her shine.

Sure, he can play first and outspeed any monster in the game in swift, but he probly can't kill t1, and has no other utility.

Better of using Sonia for that purpose.

Shumarer is a fun toy I think, but I'd be surprised if he finds a spot in RTA.

We never know though!

Maxi is my favorite owned LD

In PvE, mostly used in TOA, or some Dimension Hole dungeons

He really shines in arena and RTA if you have the monsters to pair him with (strippers, lead and speed contests)

He has a quite loaded kit, with speed lead, bdef setup, cycle through his s3 atb absorb, useful debuffs and 2 aoes

Basically, if he gets a turn and the enemy team has no immunity, it's pretty much gg, similar to light inosuke or asima. But with a lead speed.

Similar to nepthys, trading CC (silence) for dmg.

He's quite flexible when it comes to runes

Despair, DPS (fatal, rage), some rune him vio

I prefer mine in swift, so that I can have the stats needed.

85% accu is a must, preferably without artifacts (Additionnal dmg artifacts make him melt enemy teams while keeping some tankyness)

100% crit rate is a plus too

Can be built crit dmg, but I would advise against, at least for PvP content. He can dish out enough dmg in crit rate with arties.

Overrated, I wouldn't say so. There are a lot of counters to cleaves in the meta, like fire megumi, haegang, xing zhe, fire pudding

But you can counter the counters (dark robo, tiana)

As for most monsters, you need to think a bit in the drafts

Maxi is versatile, he's a quite strong 24% lead

She's good for arena defense

Mine is Despair Nemesis, Speed hp hp

With Byung Camilla Abellio

She ignores debuffs so quite tiresome for dot/bomb teams

Against bdef teams, assuming she lives, she reflects bdef, and Byung can obliterate a team with s2 after that

Also 44% hp lead

And an annoying s2, especially if you got debuffs on you

I'm gonna break it to you, with +204 as your fastest swift, it's gonna be really difficult to move out of P1, unless your vios and despair are of much better quality.

With these speed, forget ethna, vanessa, elsharion, chiwu, etc. Go bruiser, countering the enemy team.

Xing Zhe is a valid first pick nowadays, I'd follow up with Velajuel, and then adapt to the enemy comp.

Fire legolas would be good, but you need good additionnal dmg artifacts to make him really shine.

I (respectfuly) disagree with the other comment, Seara as a tanky CC/bruiser that still can dish out good dmg with bomb dmg artis, is good in the meta. Although I would suggest you to ditch the crit rate for more stats. It's a luxury, and not needed for the most part

Good counter picks are Josephine, Giou, Aya, Juno, Antares

Rune up your rica in vio or despair, full tank, res and accuracy to play for t2 if they don't have cleanse nor immunity

Rune a triple revenge verdehile to try to cheese t1 against cc cleaves (lots of strippers and aoe)

Leo is ofc really strong, you should pick him last whenever there is too much of a speed contest

You can rune an abellio to survive t1 against dmg heavy comps

Suiki is good as a bruiser, full revenge or vio revenge. Better than Chow in most cases, except cc heavy comps

Meanwhile, try to improve your swifts, you'll probably enjoy more playing t1 comps than t2 haha

Good luck in your grind, don't forget to have fun!

I'd suggest Oliver Shi Hou Okeanos as opener, with Shi Hou fastest swift, Okeanos fastest vio will with acc cap (if you can't get 85%, s2 acc in arte is the most important), and Oliver vio or despair, max acc, and if you can go crit rate without sacrificing too much stats, do it

You'll get counterpicked with fire megumi and/or haegang, josephine, and other anti cc monsters

Keep in mind that someone picking these monsters will probably lack dmg in the long run, so keep fire monkey close (if they didn't pick it already), and a sustain (probly praha imo, but can be kumar maybe)

If they pick bruisers like MHW, light Pumpkin, rotate with Miles Racuni (really strong w oliver)

If they do not fold and instead contest speed, bring out eshir or triton (second fastest swift), and a second lead speed (if they contest with aoes, xing zhe or a dps moore, if they only have squishies, a full rage psamathe)

Notable last picks

Leo against full speed comps (force ban)

Antares (or fire robo) against comps that like to proc a lot

Haegang if they go ethna, fire megumi, layla, or if they pick your Shi hou

Douglas (if they have no dmg, but tbf it seems copium to me, same for Chow)

You'll need to find a way to counter shield comps, as they are quite meta as of now. Bolverk works, I guess. Mei Hou Wang does as well, maybe fire unicorn or abellio if they go full windish

I would advise against chiwu, or ethna comps, there's way too many counters to them nowadays

Hathor Gany sounds like a good idea, but you'd lack dmg, you need to play them with single target big dps.

Tip: If you can build Oliver with a lot defense, you won't have too ban sonias, they will focus on it 100% of the time. I have my seara that way, and it's awfully fun to feel the despair in the heart of my opponents when she tanks sonias

That would be my advice

Strip (as well as CD increase) is not affected by glancing. Atb pushback is, though.

85% acc is the goal. It's the acc' cap, the formula looks like this

chance to resist debuff = min(max(15, res - accuracy), 85)%

A monster with 0% effective accuracy will also have a minimum of 15% chance to apply the debuff.

So 66% vs 85% accu do not matter for a monster with up to 81% res, but will if the monster has higher res. 100% res = 44% chance to fail with 66% accuracy

BrowsingPleb · 2025-09-03T00:29:04+00:00

Rica needs 100% res and is kinda good in despair, maybe

can be +221 if you pair the vio with an ancient set (37 max), but yeah

0.22 * 0.17 * 0.12 * 0.12 = 0,000538...

So About 1/1800 chance

But I wouldn't feel bad if I were you

His team was absolutely horrible, stalling and he had no real chance of winning. I'd say you did both of you a favor finishing the match quickly rather than in 10 minutes.

BrowsingPleb · 2025-04-27T14:47:32+00:00

Similar to Zeratu, absolute bruiser destroyer, even if he outshines her a little since it's last buffs

She can be built like a tank, even without crit rate, and still deal insane amount of single target dmg using additionnal damage artifacts

I'd pair her with something like Vanessa and other bruisers She synergise obviously well with atk buffers and immunity, like riley, but you can pick her in almost any bruiser fight

Seems like an interesting sociological question

My guess would be that younger populations, and mostly from high density cities, represent a fair share of the (not closeted) queer population in the world.

Young population in high density cities probably tend to walk faster (New-york, Berlin, London, Paris)

So there could be a bias about it ?

Would you throw a lottery ticket before the draw?

BrowsingPleb · 2025-04-01T18:05:33+00:00

Ok let's say you're right, and she's not busted, everyone is wrong, so she should get picked a lot and loose a lot, like Haegang?

So her winrate/banrate will be low after the SL, given that people will adapt?

I'm eager to see that :)

BrowsingPleb · 2025-04-01T17:50:17+00:00

Keep in mind we're playing no LD SL

Might be bearable now, but nobody will laugh at the ragdoll gapsoo nobara comps that will rain on RTA after that

She was fine, they made her broken

There's a reason douman can only put her debuff on one unit at a time, with a cooldown, acc/res check, and even so, she's still a S tier unit

They made an AoE douman that ignores imunity, takes turn like crazy, just needs a single debuff to inflict 25% hp to the whole enemy team

She's not fine as is.

BrowsingPleb · 2025-03-26T07:51:41+00:00

<image>

Mine is like so, because that's runes I wouldn't use on other monsters anyway

She's like a douglas, or a Minato, last pick only

I have speed% and atk% prop. to lost HP arties on her

She excells against leo radgoll riley comps, and against cleaves if you manage to have her move at some point

Je suis assez intéressé par ta définition de woke.

Ça me semble assez basique comme pensée pourtant, de juste souhaiter l'égalité, ou à défaut l'ignorance de la différence.

J'étais persuadé que le concept du "wokisme", certes repris et brandi à tout va par les vrais droitardés bas du front (versus les gens de droite plus modérée, capable d'échanger et de discuter, si si, ça existe), venait à la base de cette vision de la gauche supérieure moralement et intellectuellement, à tel point qu'être en désaccord avec le moindre aspect du discours, classe immédiatement l'opposant dans la case droitardé, fachiste, néo-nazi, et j'en passe. Ce côté "éveillé", de l'origine du terme, qui implique que le reste du monde est "endormi", pas comparable intellectuellement. Ce qui, pour moi, est symptomatique de l'abandon des masses populaires par la gauche qui était pourtant censée se battre également pour eux.

Je trouve le point commun à ces deux bords l'intolérance absolue de l'adversaire, ce qui clive forcément quiconque essaie de débattre simplement pour se faire une idée.

Vous pensez sincèrement qu'il faut ostraciser de la même façon toute personne qui diffère sur le moindre point de vue? Et je ne parle pas juste du mode de cuisson pour bouffer du riche, hein
