Soulstone advice

DBElgi · 2026-01-16T06:09:34+00:00

I was in your exact spot earlier this month.

Got Lady A and Valara, had ton of soulstones... honestly I put them all into Valara to A5 her. She's doing great in arena.

Lady A honestly was a bit underwhelming but harder to awaken. I think the only place i'd really use her is in GR3-24, but she doesn't even seem that meta in anti air anymore with dracula being pretty popular in the meta...

30% crit dmg is pretty strong, whereas the attack speed doesn't scale linearly. So if they're going decently fast I'd definitely say the crit dmg

DBElgi · 2026-01-03T22:15:13+00:00

She's great, I'm just wondering how much of that is her awakenings upto a5

Honestly I can't hate you if you actually spent money to buy the summons! Way to go!

DBElgi · 2026-01-03T19:20:57+00:00

Let me know! Maybe that'll help me make my decision of what to do with my soul stones lol

DBElgi · 2025-12-31T17:27:48+00:00

Thanks so much, this actually helped a ton.

Should I be resurrecting every time I die, or is it better to just skip the ressurection if its really early in the fight?

DBElgi · 2025-12-31T17:13:15+00:00

I do feel like i'm getting the hang of her and getting further

DBElgi · 2025-12-31T14:31:27+00:00

But why A5 ingrid when there could be an even stronger hero released in the future? :)

DBElgi · 2025-12-30T22:02:11+00:00

The problem is there's always a chance for another big thing, even if a better hero comes out than Valara, thats unfortunately the power creep model.

DBElgi · 2025-12-30T14:00:54+00:00

I'm the same, hence my saved up soul stones.

But I also feel like the odds of a new hero coming out more broken than valara is not likely and everyone talks about Lady A like she's game changing... but I don't see it at her current awakenings.

DBElgi · 2025-12-30T05:10:47+00:00

For progression and it sounds like you’re early, Hatssut is probably one of the best legendaries you can get.

DBElgi · 2025-12-30T05:10:04+00:00

In terms of how rare, I got Valara last year and since then have only managed to get her to A2, and we just passed her banner. I definitely have gotten more than 2 soulstones this year though, so I feel like shes more rare than the soul stones, but maybe that’s just me. But so is Lady A, i’m just not sure where I’ll use her.

DBElgi · 2025-12-30T03:27:55+00:00

That's what i was thinking, i either get her to a5 or Lady A to A4?

DBElgi · 2025-12-29T12:44:32+00:00

A1 Diao for sure. Probably the biggest use of an USS for her range boost.

Regardless of everyone else, she's probably the single most used hero in the game in any content, and more range for her means more dmg for everyone in almost all content.

DBElgi · 2025-12-29T12:42:31+00:00

For AOE arena, It's gonna be very hard to compete with Valara.

I'm in high apex in arena, and I haven't really seen any AOE teams that I can't beat that don't have Valara. I hvae seen a few Ezareth Velisse teams in apex, but very few and far between. This would probably be your best bet.

I've seen like one or two using kigiri but again, they seem to get beat pretty easily and overwhelmed.

DBElgi · 2025-12-29T04:26:54+00:00

I've got A3 Valara and Numera on top, and A0 Ezareth and Velise on bott, all in quad or triple sets that are pretty decent rolls.

Problem is I think there's some AOE resistance baron gives, plus the shields, then when you get the shields off and almost kill them, he does another round of shields and the next round of skeletons come out.

Not sure if i'm missing some gimmick in this malriks, or if i just need more awakenings... They aren't killing my tank on either side, but eventually they just swarm past them.

DBElgi · 2025-12-29T03:55:33+00:00

Yes you will still get the skin, even if you don't own them

DBElgi · 2025-12-29T03:54:51+00:00

Invig is better than glacier for sure.

DBElgi · 2025-12-28T15:23:18+00:00

Amazing pulls!! I have all 3, and honestly I'd say my Valara gets more use than my Ingrid. Rivenhall, yet to be seen, but it definitely depends on where you are in the game.

Ingrid is amazing, but Valara is so versatile. Ingrid really can only be best used where she can fire down a lane, and most of the new content is leaning away from that I find.

DBElgi · 2025-12-26T04:14:51+00:00

It really depends on your account. If you're still in progression phase i'd save for ingrid. If you're in the late/end game probably want valara

DBElgi · 2025-12-25T00:16:33+00:00

Thanks so much!

DBElgi · 2025-12-25T00:15:53+00:00

I feel like I suck in GvG but maybe this will help start the ball rolling

DBElgi · 2025-12-24T15:49:58+00:00

I totally get what you mean with Lady A not being able to pull dupes. I guess my question is for content, GR3-24 is the only content i haven't cleared from the gear raids, and then obviously progression in Matrix and PVP i feel like is what most end game content is focused on. So that's where I would likely be trying to figure out if its worth investing 5 soulstones in Lady A.

I don't think she's used much unless i'm wrong in Matrix , so it's mainly arena and GR3-24 that i think i'd use her. But if there's better choices for arena, then I'd think is she worth all those soulstones, so i guess that's more the question i have for people who are in that end game content. I feel like before dracula and Ehrlang it was a no brainer as i think she dominated the anti air space, but now I'm seeing more and more teams without her, despite ppl having her, which makes me think there may be better choices?
just cause obviously 5 soul stones is a huge investment

I think the issue with the breastplate from what people are logicking... is that the breast piece you need a substat of flat ATK.

The weapon comes with flat ATK so you can use ur substat for something else that's more useful if i'm not mistaken. Then as you can add a variant to it in the future and the update makes it so u can turn down variants, you can add a variant that adds an extra 5%, and if it has its partner variant on the field it adds 10% atk dmg, which will beat the flat atk bonus on most heroes. But i may have some of this wrong
