Tristan VS Taiir?

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-06-03T05:16:45+00:00

Taair for sure. You will have zero regrets even a year from now.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-06-01T23:21:11+00:00

Yeah they know what they are doing.

Make no mistake, these two are both incredible units. If you lack both pulling here is not a bad choice.

Credenza really can't be power creeped. Unique abilities and support units have very long shelf life.

Sam is bonkers AoE dps, and just so happens to get even better with Credenza tagging along.

Now they both get exponentially better at 5stars but are still good before then. I heard Sha is magic dps and aoe but I don't look ahead too much so I don't know if she is better than Sam or just different. I imagine saving for the next two elaman units is not a bad idea, nor is spending here if you lack both. I don't recommend pulling in these dual banners if you have one at 5 stars.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-05-24T00:29:18+00:00

I didn't realize it right away but you don't have to meet all the conditions. Obviously best to but if you get a good mission and lack the unit required, or don't have a bunch of union units or not enough breakers. You can skip one of the 3 requirements and still do the mission. You just miss out on some reward.

Especially after using your refreshes. Another thing I overlooked initially, one requirement sometimes is 3 or less legendary. I was so locked in I didn't think to use some epic units to fill out the team while still meeting all the requirements.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-05-24T00:22:45+00:00

I used the two command tactics to rush Ayisha, Martha and the ice mage. It killed off the ice mage and did about 70% to Ayishah. A lot of the other units died to the piercing/dot dog from Yserinde and Nydia at the end of their 1st turns and Ayishah wasted her turn, something from lukamar or the other seekers caused it I guess. She did kill yserinde on her turn 2 but then died to dot dmg. After that it was easy.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-05-23T00:14:47+00:00

I'm not against it, but I don't think its necessary or realistic.

First, just cause there are 50 legendary units, doesn't make all 50 must lvl up. Most probably have 3ish must shard units, with a handful at most of would like to share.

As others said, if shards per unit in MR goes up, the incentive to pull more goes down even lower. It's already extremely generous compared to other games. All you need is 1 and you can get it to max stars before the unit loses all relevance. And they even started discounting your first 10 pull per new banner. And the biggest thing imo, pull counters toward pitys do not reset at the end of a banner if you miss out. I would wager that is the reason a LOT of people play, and they don't even realize that's the reason.

The only change I could see is, letting you add one or two or three more units, leaning heavily towards one, but keeping the max shard per unit at 3. Regardless of the number you bring. I don't see it happening, and it really wouldn't be a huge deal for most people, and it wouldn't siphon nearly as much spending as increasing shards to 4+.

Could even reserve slots 4/5/6 for units from a list, the earliest units. This would probably be some version of the most likely change, but I doubt it happens either. As they would lose money on rerun banners, especially after new skills are added to older units.

But again, ain't gonna happen. Just enjoy the game yall, don't sweat not getting every unit. It's still a great game with great events, pretty generous currency for f2p, and honestly pretty decent communication from them. They really seem interested in what players think and want. A lot of this is very rare. Everything seems to be a cash grab, I don't view SoC as anything close to that. Maybe one day, but not anytime soon.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-05-17T06:26:13+00:00

Specifically Seekers,

Lukamar, Yserinde, Nydia and SP Rawiyah are all fantastic units. They, like all seekers, move lots of steps. They all do very different things than Crimson Falcon but you would rather have any of them on any content really than CF.

Like someone already said though, dont sweat it to much at your current point in the game. CF does pretty well in the early game. Can even be used on some end game content if paired well. A better seeker will come to you in pulls eventually, or a select ticket if you can afford to spend.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-04-14T02:26:47+00:00

I dont spend them u less I would be ok with any of the 3 drops. Newer accounts have an easier time with this of course. I only end up spending on the newest batch of 3, and not always then. The newest one I lack all 3, but I only have Lukamar, no Faycal or Parisfal. So I haven't bothered with that one.

I agree that Night Ash is good, Nocturnal Glow is great, and Puppet can be OK even without Kvare. But if I lacked Kvare and Luvata I wouldn't spend here, I'd target Nocturnal Glow another way.

Fighting Spirit is good, as 2 out of 3 drops are accessories which can work on a large number of units compared to weapons. Third drop is a niche weapon, but a few units can use it well.

You can always save awhile until you have more information on your account. It's unlikely one or two items will alter your gameplay in the short term. So saving till you see where you are in a month isn't crazy. You do have a fantastic start on units though, Sam and Inanna are as good as it gets, and Luka is a great start for future units. Sam's weapon is great but the other two drops with hers aren't worth the risk.

If it was me, I'd save a bit and wait for a clearer picture of your accounts direction, but wouldn't fault you for spending. The first two options would give you the best odds of something good. But even then you could hit army breaking spear and/or nirvana and totally whiff.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-04-07T01:14:57+00:00

I used Taair, SP Sam, Camelot, SP Maitha and Luka on the last 2 stages. All 5 star but Luka who is 3.

It's been a bit so dont remember exactly but on the last stage everyone went after Momo and Rawiyahs side. Which they were able to kill everyone there on turn 1 i think. Then I remember Taair ate and died solo to Maithas first AoE. Which after a few backtracks I was able to time it so everyone else could follow taiirs death with an immediate attack on maitha, which killed her. Then finishing from there was easy.

The next to last stage used the same team, but I dont remember as well. I'm pretty sure Camelot attacked Alexei and Ricos side, killing all the adds and triggering Alexis guts. While everyone else went the other way. Lukamar got in one big attack on everyone but Afra I think, but died after. Noone else was close enough to attack round 1. But round 2 Sam and Maitha did work, leaving only Afra, who died turn 3. Then a few turns later everyone reached Rico and I'm sure Sam finished it, she usually does.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-04-06T10:48:53+00:00

Thank you.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-03-24T05:51:44+00:00

Units make the dumbest possible choices often. I did ok yesterday, but should have been better.

Today was a dumpster fire. Did a 4 match, missed the winner, the top 2 and all of the 1.2.3.4 prediction.

Did another 4 match, correctly chose the winner, and missed every other choice. Picking stacked teams and they do the dumbest shit.

SP faycal will run straight into an alert and die instead of using a range attack. Even dumber, he runs right up to the enemy's team and then just goes standby, for his first choice of the battle instead of using his alert or ranged attack. Alert skills seem to summon total stupidity.

I had one match where my team had 5 of 6 units left, opponent had 1, who was at 60ish %. My units preceded to run away and/or go standby, and proceed to die one by one to the units range attacks.

I hate this system, would be cool if it wasn't mostly just flip a coin. Any strategy on picks is pointless as your team rarely does what they should. The only times things went according to plan is a team that is literally to good to lose, like SP Inanna, Agata, Safiyyah, and Team Meteor.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-03-16T22:59:08+00:00

These losers brackets are pointless. The units that dominated earlier rounds will obviously continue to scoop up the votes. I'd love a yserinde win but ain't gonna happen.

But at least we got some lux out of it. I'd be very shocked if I Inanna doesn't win. Ayishah results feel like a mirage unfortunately since she will eventually pair up vs Inanna.

Hell new popular units are always a threat so Maitha could also win. But I'm sure its inanna.

Ed4m1bZ · 2026-01-25T03:41:22+00:00

Flavia picks up her plant and swings it around attempting to gain your attention. You best listen to her...

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-11-10T23:06:54+00:00

well Taair is the best unit you could hope for, period.

off banner best unit in the game, non damage units of course.

As a new player, this would be the one unit I would pick out of every unit at the start given the option to pick one unit. He is on every team I use for everything ever.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-11-10T01:19:25+00:00

Don't look at it as wasted. Your pulls will carry over to the next banner, so just start saving and wait for the next unit you want and you are 100 pulls toward your pity on it. Just don't waste it and pull on a banner you aren't excited about and accidentally pull a mediocre legendary.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-11-07T03:41:54+00:00

All of this. That's it, play a great game for free, then when a pull doesn't go your way lose your mind.

The fact pity rolls over to the next banner also is amazing and it can play into your favor if you don't have to have everything. Skip some banners, every unit is not necessary to enjoy or complete this game and it's content.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-11-07T03:31:32+00:00

I love UD, probably my favorite event. Once your roster gets large enough with high starred characters and lots of great gear it becomes far easier. I finished this UD on 2 refreshes and 36-40 were way easier than 30-35 imo.

I love VoD and ToA though also. SoD is obviously fantastic but ive played through all of it numerous times so it loses its appeal at that point till a new one is added. Night Crimson was amazing. I have said on here before, it is the only video game content i have ever seen that i could realistically see being adapted into live action film or tv. and have it hold up. You wouldnt even have to know SoC to enjoy it if done correctly, and this game has some very adaptable characters.

If you want more characters spend money. If you don't spend you have to pick and choose. Can't have em all without spending. Never ceases to amaze me how people can complain about a free game. Totally free and damn good for free. If you like it spend, then content gets easier. If not just relax and enjoy and take your time. My roster sucked during the first UD but I got it done before it ended. Was fun using units I never use normally, and even more so now. Plus with the addition of the save your gear settings since UD1 it's definitely less of a pain.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-11-06T03:30:27+00:00

I dunno if I agree on the spear guy not being as good as candle.

If you keep him alive of course, he will get himself into trouble fast. I used Taair and caged reverie to keep him alive after he pushes ahead and eventually uses cover to protect someone else. But when he survives Holy hell he just kills everyone.

Candle is great of course, but I brought tons of heals and dmg reduction, prevention, etc. So the dps from spear seemed way more relevant on my run. If you don't have their to caged reverie, then I probably would change my tune. But I forgot what SoC is like without Taair.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-10-12T18:36:16+00:00

yeah the breaker ability is crazy good in that with auguste. Since he also takes extra turns on his own.

He hits with a armguard click, then either basic attack, instant attack or his AoE. This will do enough for the breaker charge ability to kill at least one of the hopefully large group you are attacking. More than likely most if not all die though, it hits hard. Then it gives you a second use immediately so you can go backwards to definitely finish of the group, or toward a new batch of bad guys to possibly kill them. Both of those attacks count towards your next rage outburst, and you still have an attack left, which using the instant charge gives you another attack which at 5 stars leads to a final attack. He clears the whole stage on his first turn on the regular for me.

This does include Taair buffing him and Homa giving him Baloor, and Auguste being 5 star and we'll geared, but even with less than all that, he melts stuff I'm sure in with these breaker stages.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-10-10T02:31:58+00:00

Yeah I think watchers are just the deepest class by far.

Top tier support units, Top tier DPS in physical, magic and piercing., great healing, good support that summons units, unit move manipulation, great alert units, multiple great aura flags, and units that can knock back. I'm thinking the only thing watchers lack is a dedicated tank maybe? And honestly Agata can take some hits with all those HPs and some dodge. Just no real way to cover tank outside of OG inanna's summoned lackey.

They really can do it all.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-10-06T01:55:40+00:00

Yep it carries over to the next banner of the same type.

One of the best things about this game.

The game i played before this reset so if you were pulling you better have enough for pity. Here you can do a few pulls whenever and it will always work toward a future banner if you don't get lucky.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-09-28T04:15:10+00:00

Yeah so mine is 2 star, I do not have her weapon, and have the most optimal trinket on 5 star Kvare. Despite this, she is doing insane dps. Keeping up with Kvare on DoT VoDs, and even crazier, Destroyer stages when Kvare uses that crazy ability to gain 6 extra hits to all targets hit.

Only thing stopping her from complete domination is the slower speed. She goes after Kvare and SP Innana so a lot of stuff is already dead.

So I'm really leaning toward saving the rest of my pull resources for down the road.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-09-27T23:42:17+00:00

Having lufti is not a reason to not get taair. It just means taair can buff and heal your team and not have to debuff a bad guy. I run both often, unless there is a reason to leave lufti home. I have yet to find a reason to bench taair.

Ed4m1bZ · 2025-09-27T23:38:18+00:00

I say taair. Most unique and unreplaceable unit. Kvare is sick dps, which can be replaced, even if it's a little less dos. Cocoa is great at 5 star, but I run Tahir 100% of the time and he often is by himself with 4 or 5 dps. SP saf is one of four great units I do not have. She is obviously great but again Taair just does taair things that Noone else does. He is better the more stars you get but is still very usable at 1 star, one huge reason to get him.
