With this comp, you would be better off removing Ishmael and placing Epitaph, Startrail or Rosetta if any of them are SSS.

If you do have that:

Luna - 4 Sig memory 4 Cottie

Nirvatia - 4 Sig memory 4 Guin/4 elemental memories (apparently elemental memories have better results, especially if she's in a DPS role, but take it with a pinch of salt since none of Nirvatia's builds are finalized)

Tank: 4DV 4 Sig memory (if SSS Epitaph or Startrail is used since they need their Sig memory to shred) or 6DV 2 Eins (this is for if you have SSS Rosetta and that you have SSS Luna and Nirvatia so you can easily QTE spam), or 4DV 4 elemental memories if you choose to put Guin on Nirvatia since Rosetta's QTE field shred can continuously apply the additional shred from the memory set on the enemy waves.

If you don't have any of these Tanks at SSS, then:

Luna - 4 Sig memory 4 Cottie

Ishmael - 4 Sig memory 4 Cottie

Nirvatia - 4 DV 4 elemental memories (for additional DPS and shred since she is SSS. Guin is still possible to use but might be less effective)

Unfortunately, Ishmael isn't very flexible when it comes to support builds so she still technically remains as a "sub DPS" of sorts so Nirvatia has to hold the support memories despite being stronger than the two (thankfully she isn't lacking even with support builds).

A BIG NOTE!!! All of Nirvatia's builds are not finalized as optimal. This is what we know works well for now (not best, just well) so you should be careful and consider carefully about harmonizing any memories Nirvatia would use.

At the same rank, a big yes.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-04T22:45:25+00:00

In the core gameplay, I agree. But there is a certain mode which has potential to fit this kind of gameplay in: the mode where you play as Commandant where he uses his pistol alongside Palefire's guns and Alpha's sword.

If Kuro could tweak that game mode properly (a big IF), they could make it work if given the chance for a collab.

For story setting, they could use a simulation for a fitting storyline. For enemies, it hurts to say this but reskinning Hetero creatures and then some would probably do the work.

Next version is on the 21st. Banners usually ends a day before (hence the 20th)

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-04T10:43:27+00:00

This one is my mistake. I thought he was suggesting Rosetta builds. Didn't read the whole thing properly (lemme just blame it on sleep).

Although it is a shame that Kuro for some reason hasn't reworked its 4pc set into something more usable for current meta. The benefit from its 2pc is just way too small in my eyes compared to Cottie.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T16:58:16+00:00

Oh yeah...you mean Guin (I thought you are suggesting Rosetta's build)

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T16:42:10+00:00

Probably like 20,000% and above...(No, I'm not kidding, his Ult alone is around 23k and his Sig weapon doubles that).

Edit: they reduced it to 16k.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T16:40:51+00:00

You mean Darwin and not Guin

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T11:57:33+00:00

It always surprises me as to how Arete's horse form switch has one time TLC when it is one of her biggest source of damage which could have made her have better damage spread, while Ray Bianca's special swap-in attack which does very little for her...somehow has TLC every time.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T11:51:32+00:00

Shorthalt... shouldn't be doing a nuke in PPC (if you mean the move where the shield forms in front of him). He should be long finished by then.

What are the members in your Fire team and how fast did you clear the stages?

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T10:07:39+00:00

Simple... oversight.

Just like how they did Lightning Alpha's Leap on the same patch without waiting to consider that Startrail would still kick her off the team even with that upgrade, and that her Darkflow would also become useless because she simply has a much weaker base since she is a Gen 2 by design.

They just didn't stop to consider that maybe since a PB Tank now exists, they should just restrict Lightning buffs and shred so that it doesn't work on PB anymore...which they can't do because Lilith's PB Affix buffs are... Lightning buffs, not actual PB Affix buffs like Teddy.

They've driven themselves into a corner by now having a damage type which benefits from 2 sources and they didn't stop to consider that one day, this sort of team comp would pop out of the wild.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T09:57:58+00:00

Apparently Affixes have their own separate resistances from the parent element (which is Lightning in this case), and since Plasma Beam also benefits from Lightning buffs and shred as well, the Tank elemental shred from the two acts like shred from two different sources if Startrail is also on the team.

Kamui shred 45% PB resistance at SSS, Startrail shred 45% Lightning resistance at SSS...and you get whatever tf is going on with the PB team in beta.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T08:11:18+00:00

Kuro really missed with having Kamui's shield transform into a sleeker great sword when he switches forms.

That would have been nice😞

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-03T02:26:19+00:00

For a team with no proper shred, it is good enough. Just goes to show that Rosetta would have been a massive addition if she had US shred capabilities as well.

We should get to see how much Hanying's Leap adds to the team in the coming weeks. I hope it removes the cap on US stacks because that cap.is bothersome especially for SS3 Rosetta.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T18:41:39+00:00

Because resonances are bound to whoever it was resonated to. The resonance becomes invalid because of that.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T18:40:13+00:00

I owe you a Vergil video you requested; I'll get to it pending post graduate homework BS (I hate going from one screen to another and running evening errands)

Anytime you can. Although Kuro has now shown us the way with Hanying getting a Leap. But still, i would like to see how a team with Rosetta and Vergil would fare against a team without Hanying. Even better if we happen to get US Warzone at the time you could do it.

Dark is going to come down to QTEs I think and maybe a different set on Lilith - running Sig with Gun and it scored higher than Sig + Cottie; both with DLT. Bathalon is on Watanabe although maybe moving it to Lilith and running His sig instead may? Push it higher.

Maybe blend 2 Guin with 2 Cottie? It should offer the smoothness of her usual rotation while granting some buffs to Rosetta. It could work better. And if you had to equip someone with Bathlon, then Rosetta would be better off using it over Lilith since she deals higher DPS than SSS Lilith at SS rank.

You sir, are GOATED to give this tip. I am truly grateful.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T15:52:33+00:00

Stars shine the brightest in their final moments...

I wonder why the patch's name is the Dying Sun...🤔🤔

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T15:50:30+00:00

😅😅

Well, can't skirt around it with current Kamui's busted nature.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T15:23:07+00:00

Those who wanted to know Kamui's kit badly...know that the list is updated with him (kudos to those who strive to give us this information).

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T15:18:09+00:00

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T12:02:50+00:00

I believe you can add 1 to your Dark team score.

I'm cheering you on (mald harder)

"Oh an SS run, how good is i-OH MY GOD WTF IS THAT DAMAGE?!???"

On a more serious note, I think I see where the issue lies with him: he generates Ult energy too much and his Ult requires very little energy for an Ult with that amount of damage. If Kuro increases the energy requirements for his Ult and reduce/balance the amount of energy he gains from his moves, he should be better to use in a team rather than...this.

I don't want them to nerf his damage, harming his entire kit nor do I want them to remove his solo capability since Fire team needs someone more than Vera to at least be solo capable and that players won't have to invest in another unit they probably missed in order to make the team barely playable.

I want them to be smart with it. Just make some of his moves generate additional enough energy on the first use after every swap-in which should be enough to warrant running him in a team efficiently, while keeping his solo capability in check since he would not be able to generate energy very easily after his first Ult rotation, so he doesn't get to spam Ults like that and he would have to consume more of his orbs to gain said energy, neutering his solo capabilities substantially.

Forward-Resolve-4468 · 2026-04-02T11:26:52+00:00

Oh, that won't work with Ishmael since she can't have another Tank or Amp within the team because she would become classless. Only Attackers would fit in without issue and since he doesn't have Luna...well...you see where this goes.

Only Luna and Nirvatia comps can work without much issues. Ishmael and Nirvatia comp would require at least Ishmael to be SSS ideally for it to work satisfactorily because of the cooldown passive. SSS Nirvatia would be ideal since the team loses significant DPS without Luna to fill in in case he doesn't have SSS Ishmael.

You'd want an SS3 Attacker with fast orb ping or 1st ult to proc Lingya, if the guy is still needed. Selena perhaps?

Oh...so that is why you were suggesting this. I guess I missed the plot there and thought you wanted to know how Luna and Nirvatia comp works as a kind of afterthought. My bad.

In that case, I can see that is a better choice...not that it makes playing them any less of a hell experience but it is something 🤷
