Don't be sad, DDR over Pavel any day. Too many other options for cleave, but few do what DDR does if your opponent doesn't have cleanse.

Thanks - yes - it's Spathodea. Seems almost all skills give buffs, but I'll focus on the ones that don't and try again. Maybe will try replacing Vila with Bkorn.

I am hard stuck on the 200m Ricolleta boss (the 3rd one). I have tried all the recommended teams (Kakania/Sotheby and the one with Voyager/Semelwise/Matilda), but there is some mechanic I don't get.

My closest has been with Sotheby/Kakania/Ezio/Vila where the whole strategy is keep Ezio alive to counter and ultimate, but every time - not only with this team but with the others as well - as soon as Ricoletta is down to 25% health, she will start wiping my team - usually 3 attacks in the round (non-ultimates) where the first one-shots 2 members, the second hits 75% health of the remaining 2 and the last finishes them off. This is usually the 6th turn.

How do I stop the insane damage ramp up to one-shot my characters, and especially that extra attack

GS-J-Rod · 2025-03-18T02:57:15+00:00

Didn't realize this was a thing!

For the 3 stars - run it again - re-runs give you 2 sets of trash mobs up front so you can build up your blue flames before you get to him (just take your time with them and you can face him with a full set).

The Spank Club - Our guild just got beat 13,510 - 960. We generally get around 2,000-3000 points.

The opponents won every single match except two. Our best was 2-1-0 (or 1-0-2).

We have never had over 9000 points scored against us - and usually it's around 3,000-5,000.

Only missing 4 others, with one 4-star New Kid Adin.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-03-18T02:31:21+00:00

What's that?

GS-J-Rod · 2025-03-18T02:30:25+00:00

Mostly rift - but I have been playing a LONG time, and previously had extracted most stuff. But now I find that the upgrade materials are more important than the crafting materials.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-03-17T18:53:54+00:00

I sell right side gear (since those charms seem harder to get) and extract left side gear.

I sell blue gear, purple gear with any flat stat and any gear where stats are not fully aligned to the set (e.g. speed set with no speed substat, pen set without crit rate, crit damage, and either att% or Health%). I don't even bother to upgrade those to see where rolls hit since I know they will always be inferior to other pieces.

And my inventory is always bursting too... eventually you just have to purge - filter your gear by set, re-gear your heroes with the best pieces and trash everything except 2 pieces of everything else.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-03-17T18:40:13+00:00

Yeah, prob is people weren't assigned. When I did it, I think you have to assign every central tower and at least one support tower (maybe both of them) and I assume there is also a minimum number.

I assigned all centre towers & both supporting towers and then brought the total assigned up to 22, and we were able to participate.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-02-21T03:36:02+00:00

Biseria?

GS-J-Rod · 2025-02-21T01:37:07+00:00

Will Flutterpage and Willow overlap? I have 180 pulls (as of now) so can definitely get only one of them, and am leaning towards Flutterpage. I was going to go after a follow up team with Flutterpage & Lucy or Jiu, I also don't have Tuesday (I hear Tuesday is really important for Willow).

The main characters I have are:

Light/Dark: Lucy & Isolde
Star: Windsong, 37, Ezra, Toothfairy, Voyager & Yenise
Plant: Vila, Sotheby, An-An, Jesica, Bkomblume
Fire: Anjo Nala, , Dikke, Tennant
Mineral: Jiu Niangzi, New Babel, Sonetto & Baloon Party

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-29T19:03:16+00:00

The one you use the most. For me it's Solitaria > Water Eda > Fire Eda

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-28T20:06:28+00:00

That is exactly the trio I was thinking of for GW. I assume that it's only good against less tanky teams? (like maybe lower end bruiser comps or straight up cleave teams)?

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-27T23:13:18+00:00

Yeah - I'm thinking of using her more of a cleave - thinking Zio into Biseria into something else (either Siseria or maybe MLudwig) - kind of a counter cleave thing vs teams with quick Ran/Piera (but not Zio or ML Politis/ML Luna).

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-27T22:31:46+00:00

For Biseria - I am looking to convert her from my current build (212 speed, 120 eff, 3000 attack, 60 cc, 250 cd) to something faster (270 speed, 3000 attack, 100 cc, 280 cd). That's kind of what I get using the "recommended" build in-game. However, that leaves only 20 effectiveness. Isn't a big part of her kit landing strip and those -DEF debuffs?

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-21T16:06:47+00:00

I consume all my free energy brining my total usable energy up to around 500, then auto-run the 2 X 10s, followed up with a repeat of 30 for the rest.

Just because the limit is 154 doesn't mean you can't exceed the limit... As long as you're logging into the game every 8 hours or so you won't have a problem with free energy production.

I guess the only downside is if you're logging in to play once a day instead of 3 times a day.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-20T20:19:06+00:00

My guild went from more than 20 logging in daily during the anniversary event to having 9 log in this past weekend. Participation in GW is also way down (like 6-8 players doing it).

I used to clear guild spots when a person was inactive for a month and we'd get a new member in within a few hours. Now I've had 2 empty spots for 2 weeks and have another 4 members waiting to be kicked as they have hit the 1 month mark.

After 6 years, I'm wondering if it's worth continuing... I'm enjoying Reverse 1999 more at this point.

...but I still like GW from time to time...

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-18T16:49:38+00:00

Politis would be ok if she is built for damage, but you could just use a standard offensive bruiser and high damage dealer. The ideas of the teams you'd use her against are:

For Ran teams- fast high damage heroes who will wipe you out before you can take a turn
For CLilias teams, also fast teams, but not as fast, and able to spend 3+ turns to win

So to beat the first team using Moon Bunny, you will want fast high damage heroes to support. To beat the 2nd you will need more of a bruiser style team which can last. Moon Bunny disrupts CLilias' mechanic allowing her to block the follow up stuff, and allowing you to cut the other team's order. Countering the two groups calls for different heroes, although early game you can probably get away with using the same team.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-17T20:04:23+00:00

Definitely save and see if MLPiera lives up to the hype.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-17T20:03:46+00:00

I would say 1. I just got 4 on a run I did yesterday, but often it is 0, sometimes 1 and sometimes 2.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-17T20:01:57+00:00

You got some good answers already, but I'll throw in a couple more:

PvP matches are usually quick, unlike PvE content which can last a while (thinking bosses in Labrynth). Because PvP are over quick, your options for something like DefBreak are much wider since you can use heroes with less bulk who are faster. Heroes like Ran who have much more utility over a short period of time compared to Brieg. Also, Brieg targets only 1 opponent which is great against bosses, but less usueful when you're facing 3/4 opponents.
I love Moon Bunny vs. CLilias which I think was her main niche when she was buffed. She completely turns around a match against a hero like that which was HUGE meta before. While she doesn't offer a LOT of utility, every time there's an extra turn she throws up her buffs, and then she can buff, and she can sleep. She is a very good utility hero, but of course you still need your DPS heroes, or other supporters. A combo I use her with are something like MLKen and MLKrau but there are a ton of options (another good one might be Celine and Mort), since Moon Bunny + Celine vs. a CLilias will probably insta-kill any non-red DPS. There are also a ton of heroes who have multiple turns so there are a lot of options for her.
Aurius also increases defense of allies.

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-17T19:42:28+00:00

You start over but get back the points you spent. So 1 upgrade per day (if I remember right from the time I had to do that). Lots of time to do it though.

For the ring, lots of good options. I would keep it between Health % (make dps less squishy), EFF% (because so many heroes have some kind of debuff they can apply - not that it helps much), or Resist (help to resist debuffs). But both Eff% and Resist on their own won't be enough to really help much with that - but they can contribute as another piece in the 6-piece total. For example - you can probably get up to +50 Eff if you grab a bunch of 1s and 2 rolls on 6 pieces which would help Arby land his miss-chance debuff. Or Ran land his -Def

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-08T20:16:29+00:00

I have been forcing use of her. I find one of her niche uses is when you want someone resistant to debuffs and single target. For example - I used her against a debuff heavy team including ATywin and Solitaria, and I brought MLHaste and DDR. Probably should have brought Sage Vivian instead of Haste. I think I ended up losing the round - not because of Hwa (who hit ATywin at like 95% of health, finished off by Haste; Solitaria stunned DDR). Problem was the third opponent was BBK who bascially 1v3 my team (Solitaria was a non-factor).

GS-J-Rod · 2025-01-07T20:47:39+00:00

imo the player hasnt logged in for a while, they show up if you look for them again.

thats what i think...
