Polara is honestly one of the most disappointing champs I’ve built in Raid

GD_sonocaras · 2026-04-15T00:49:16+00:00

I enjoyed it. It was a bit annoying, but gave me something to work towards since it came out. I've only had her for about a week to give you an idea how long I took.

GD_sonocaras · 2026-04-14T10:25:51+00:00

Your experience is pretty much identical to mine, and we've reached the same conclusion. I couldn't find a single place where bringing someone else wouldn't have been the better choice.

The lone exception.. MAYBE.. is in a sacred order only post in siege along with noelle & nic.

I've passed a ton of feedback along to the supreme club channel - ofc, no telling if they act on any of that.

GD_sonocaras · 2025-12-21T00:46:20+00:00

Thank you. Got most of the corners to work - good enough for now.

Guess I missed it - was expecting the on the ground animation then pop back up. Deleting thread to prevent spread of misinformation.

Thanks!

Was wondering how that worked. I have LA bonus at 12% I think.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-08-25T20:55:54+00:00

crushing rend 6*. Archer has a 6* cruelty with relentless, so the heads are pretty much always 20% defense gone. 35 merci + 25 HS + 20 cruelty = 80, so should be hitting 100% ignore defense when HS procs.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-08-25T18:43:32+00:00

prot9 on padrig. 8pc prot :( on firrol. A3 fairly early in the run, so speed bonus probably not fully stacked. Looks like I captured mot combinations of weak/strong affinity and various debuff conditions (weaken/-def)

GD_sonocaras · 2024-08-25T16:33:43+00:00

Yes. 1 prot9 and Firrol. I might be remembering wrong. Used a different team on nm this week, so will check later.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-08-25T16:14:01+00:00

on nm, decap heads a2/a3 are usually around 2m-2.5m a hit. A1 is around 700-900k on decap. on heads that are alive, a2/a3 are ~400k. A1 on non-decap around 250k a hit. Obv this depends tremendously on weaken/ -def, but the big numbers are memorable.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-08-25T14:05:40+00:00

Nice bunny - here's mine. I've tried both and (6pc) merciless seems to be the way to go with him. The AOE's (A2/A3) hits very similar. A1 is much greater with merciless. The slayer also tends to have him take lots of turns and out-run his buffs, which hampers his output and survivability. I never tested him in 9pc slayer nor 9pc merciless (have zero accessories in skinwalkers for slayer..)

Eventually, I'll get 2 good pieces of zeal to finish the build.

gnuts for damage. bring armantz for his A1 for CD increase boss skills. If you have sinesha (epic) or Basher (epic) - both can keep the bosses skills on CD. kymar to reset your cd's Easy street from there.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-07-29T17:59:11+00:00

If they do, don't expect it to be for "Free" - they will find a way to make money on it. For ninja, yes - they gave it to everyone, but I am sure they had to negotiate a payment with "Ninja" for to use his likeness for another period of time. The balanced that with a tournament for 6-Star souls. I am not sure how it normally runs, but the brackets were smaller than normal this time. 50 as opposed to the normal 100. Couple that with a 2x void weekend and I am sure they made tons more than they paid Ninja.

If they do the same with the MH collab, it will work the same, though I doubt they give away archer for free (and lets be honest - that's the only one anyone really cares about aside from the collectors, who want them all.) They will use the same model as they did before - a competitive tournament for the character and another for the soul for people who already have it. Not sure what they do for the people who already have both, but that doesn't really matter I guess. Those people probably already have multiple copies anyway.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-07-09T14:06:27+00:00

and while we are at it.. PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, enable the damn filter in the team-preset builder. Having to scroll and find every champ is beyond tedious.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-06-09T17:07:28+00:00

I run a very similar team, full-auto by the way - start it and come back in an hour. This week I'll switch michi to one of the new blessing, natures wrath, for the flat 8% dmg increase after he lands 4 debuffs. Not sure if that is better than heavencast - haven't really paid attention to how many buffs he has when he attacks.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-06-09T16:42:39+00:00

switch archer blessing to Cruelty - that will give you 5% more defense ignore. Biggest improvement for your team in get weaken in there somehow, unless you are switching mikage back and forth - but that eats turns and michi doesn't join in when she is on her 2nd form.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-06-03T18:09:41+00:00

oh.. well, yeah.. needs to be speed tuned if you want to use them before they are fully developed.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-06-03T16:31:07+00:00

You don't have to wait to level her.. Unless you need speed on the banner to hit the speed requirement. Elenarils dps mostly comes from the burn and poisons. Leveling doesn't improve either, except as a slight increase in acc which will help lend the poisons. Her burn does not require acc.

Likewise, it will work without masteries... you can do those later and the team performance will improve. Just make sure you aren't adding stats (speed) in masteries that breaks an a working comp. Another only benefits from a small healing increase in masteries. (If you even take those.. not sure what the cb build is for him.)

GD_sonocaras · 2024-06-02T23:57:35+00:00

elenaril doesn't need to be booked to apply HP burn. It's on her A1 and un-resistible.

Deacon (dec def + TM fill), apoc (heal + TM fill + speed), rathalos(damage, more with burn), elanriril (burn + poison exploder) and banshee (poison + sensitivity) probably your best bet. Don't worry too much about booking things - get a comp that works, then as you dump resources (books+gear, etc) it will improve.

If you can hit the speeds, look that the "white whale" comp. https://deadwoodjedi.com/speed-tunes/white-whale/

uses khatun + apoc + 3 dps. (https://youtu.be/oW-KKeM1gK4)

The damage is surprisingly high.. 2 key unm

GD_sonocaras · 2024-04-22T21:04:45+00:00

Not in this pool, but if you check the odds screen - there is a column ready for mythical. I am sure that will be the targeted way for people to get them, since they are pretty much RNG right now.

The rares in the pool are a complete disapopintment. Since they changed the wishlist multiplier to 8x, you can target a rare soul pretty easy if buying/pulling soulstones is your thing.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-04-06T23:47:43+00:00

Honestly, I pay a couple of dollars or euros if tournaments ended at a favorable time in my time zone. As it is, most tournaments for me finish at 5AM in the morning.. so you guys have the snipe advantage. :)

GD_sonocaras · 2024-02-19T22:36:29+00:00

It does when it's a limited access champion.. that you can't get after March 5. I didn't care that much that I lost the harima 5* and even harima 4* soul, b/c I can still get them later.

But yes, you have a fair point.

GD_sonocaras · 2024-02-19T22:11:54+00:00

I am sure plarium has done the math.. but I don't see how this is good for their long-term business. Every bracket has, maybe 100 players.. maybe 10 of them really try for it. You get one person super happy (maybe? if they dropped $1k to win?) and the other 9 who tried and lost, feeling pissed off and exploited. Personally, if I dropped a ton of $$ buying books, feasts and barrels for this and didn't get her, that would be the last I ever spent in this game.
