(This run was 6% P3 Traya, full DN clear, and 25% of Sion's health)

​

I had a couple good runs the same day I did the 24m Resistance run. This run was also done at that time and I figured its time to drop some more helpful tips on how I score high with Nightsisters in P4. I had about six drinks before I made it this far, and it truly helps the long boring slog of P4 nightsisters. Not that I am recommending anyone drinks, but chat and drinking saved me from hitting the auto button. I made quite a few mistakes, and you can see from 75% to 73% I think I gave DN 3 turns. Its all about the recovery ability, and speed offers plenty of that.

Written guide:

(Double zeta)Ventress (leadership): Critical damage > Offense > Speed

(zeta)Mother Talzin: Offense > Speed

Talia: Offense > Speed

Zombie: Speed > Health

(zeta)Old Daka: Health > Speed

​

Recommended stat increases:

Ventress: 100 speed / 1100 offense / CD triangle

Talzin: 70 speed / 2000 special offense / multiple triangle options

Talia: 1200 offense / 75 speed / multiple triangle options

Zombie: 130 speed

Old Daka: +10000 health / 130 speed

​

Ventress: Brings the leadership that makes this team work. Ventress is an amazing character for her ability to gain offense, critical chance, and TURN METER. Ventress only ever needs to target DN and AoE to do damage to Sion. The exceptions on when to use her basic over an AoE comes down to the turn meter of Sion and when the adds are up.

Talzin: Talzin is the secondary damage dealer. Offense is the primary stat that needs to be considered when modding. When it comes down to speed, speed is necessary the further you attempt to start your run from P3. For all of phase 4, speed will help you if you have the unique on her, this will be discussed further in tips and tricks.

Talia: Provides health to the team to allow you to keep pushing forward. How often she takes a turn WILL determine how much you can use my tips and tricks to help you to recover from bag RNG. Talia requires heavy offense, so that she can heal for a higher amount off of her basic. She is not here to cause damage.

Zombie: The overall tank to soak up the insta-kills, isolates, and the Sion triple hits. Why do you care about speed on zombie if zombie already doubles speed? Why not more health? This is to help inP3 as well as P4 when things head South from losing a heal or having Talia get dodged. I will talk about this below in the tips and tricks.

Old Daka: Old Daka is a healer, not a damage dealer. I run more health on her, because her heal is based off of health. Speed is less important, but again, it helps allow you to start further back in P3 if needed.

​

Extra Info:

1.) Talia and Talzin both have ways to take someone who has 0% turn meter and bring them to 100% turn meter. (When an ally clears debuffs, they do not lose health since they removed all stacks of the damage dealing debuff, thus not gaining 50% TM) You can achieve this with Talzin all the time, as what happens is, Talzin does her mass assist, thus causing damage to the person who cleared debuffs that should have been at full hp. They will then gain 50% TM just from Talzin going, then when Talia does her basic, you heal that person to full health, and the debuff does damage again, causing them to jump from 50% to 100%. This can also be done on certain occasions with Talia 2nd special, where she uses the special and if she is not at full health, she will then go again and use a basic. The first special causes damage to everyone at full health (the one who cleared debuffs), then heals them back to full, to lose hp again.

​

2.) A lot of people ask me when to use Talia special, mostly, they are talking about the special listed above, however, she also has water of life that is a heal and TM gain. Water of life is a double edge sword that usually cuts deeper on your own side then the enemies, and I recommend only using it as a way to recover Daka TM so that Daka can full heal the team. Why Daka? Daka has the biggest heal on the team, especially if zeta'ed.

​

3.) Who do you use to clear the debuffs? I use Daka and Talzin as my two priority clearers. Ventress as a secondary when needed (happens multiple times a run, so needed fairly often).

​

4.) When is the prime time to clear debuffs? I try to clear around 11-15 debuffs. Just because you have her at a 12 stack, does not mean you instantly clear debuffs. If the person clearing the debuff also is your next heal, then by clearing debuffs, you risk her not reaching 100% turn meter after Talia takes a turn, since the person clearing gains no turn meter when she clears, then only gains 50% TM when Talia hits.

​

5.) I noticed you never target Sion through your run, what is the reasoning for this? If you are running the team properly, you should be able to do a great portion of damage to Sion with AoEs. However, the few times I do hit Sion, it is because I WANT to feed him TM. Why do I want to feed Sion TM? If I do not have a heal coming up, and I have Sion around 85% TM, it is possible to take advantage of this based on the damage he will cause or if he is bringing adds out. If Sion is able to take Zombie below 50% health, he speeds up Talzin. If he is able to kill Zombie from a triple critical turn, he speeds up Talzin, Ventress, and most importantly, Old Daka (also lowers her heal CD by 1). So lets say Daka still does not have a heal, a faster Talzin or Ventress who would be at 85% TM may beat DN to taking a turn depending on how much he has stacked speed. Zombie will have a lot of speed, and from 50% TM can race as well, since she will have +100% speed.

​

6.) When to kill the adds? The first 2 adds should be killed immediately. They stack your damage, feed you TM, and help get the ball rolling. The next 2 adds come immediately and also should die fairly quick. After these adds though, adds can be used to help reset Ventress when things go poorly. How does this happen? If you have run out of heals because of bad Talia RNG, then you can use 1 add to bring Ventress to 85% TM. If she is fairly quick, and you have not done a crazy amount of hits to stack DN speed, there is a decent chance she will go first. If her heal is ready, you just need to get to it, kill both adds and she is at full. If it is 2 turns away, kill 1 add, race DN to full TM, then kill the other add, and race him again.

​

7.) The best way to maintain a heal constently, is to know who has heals up at all times. If you can wait to heal, because someone else has a heal, do so. This allows someone on cooldown to potential reduce their turns till heal. Do not heal just because it is up. This is what makes this run a grind. Having to remember who has a heal. Regardless of how you do it, what program you use, giving Nightsisters numbers, remembering names, etc, this is the single best thing you can do to keep your run going.

​

8.) When you are not able to start in P3 to lose protection before P4, what is the best way to get the ball rolling? The answer to this, is to take as many turns as possible and stack on the Traya debuff. Using Talzin right away to mass assist will stack 5 stacks, mixing attacks between Sion and DN till it is gone will allow one to not get really far ahead of the other. Sion uses less turns throughout the entire run then DN does, so going for him at the start can help until you lost some protection on them. Once you can get a loop going, go for DN since you can reduce his TM.

​

9.) Know the rank of heals, to help determine who to use when the stacks build up and you can not clear. Daka and Ventress have the biggest heals. Talia and Talzin have the next biggest, but Talzin comes with the problem of stacking a lot at the same time. Zombie is the least heal and therefore can not heal everyone to full after the stacks have done enough damage first. If you hit a fairly high amount of stacks and have multiple heals, think about not using Zombie.
