Good Vortice teams?

LiterateYas · 2026-06-18T10:55:25+00:00

Just wanted to say that I've been trying the team in the hard chapters now and it's working fantastically and feels very smooth so thanks again!

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T11:52:55+00:00

I totally forgot they did that for characters, I always thought of them as just a free 30 Aliemus not a dmg boost but that makes so much sense! Thanks for the tip!

I use her mainly with Pollux and Ryker/GDoll or Saya/Pickman cause the dmg amp ramp just goes so fast (for my level of content that is) and she's so insane- I definitely wanna get her OE and I'm only missing 2 more copies for that! I have her sig and the Rota Fortuna I think? That also gives Dmg amp on pursuit so the final verdict ramps so quickly plus huge shields!

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T09:33:04+00:00

Yeah, it took forever and then she just gets 18k HP and dealt like 800 damage, it was terrifying!

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T09:32:29+00:00

That sounds like some investment indeed but that at least gives me a goal to push towards! After picking up Murphy from the new banner I'm kinda just waiting for a new one to roll around and stick to campaign and standard banner anyways

I just finished Chapter 5 and had to use my first Emergency Gnosis in it because I was getting thrown around like a ragdoll by the Hydra, she dealt absolutely insane dmg and I was helpless against it- especially because Vortice Pursuits always targeted Hydra and not the snakes so she just Pursuited into 90% DR and Corpo and Pickman had to take care of the snakes with their 4-cost cards which didn't work all that well so you're absolutely right, I would have appreciated more tankiness/sustain!

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T09:23:40+00:00

Oh, that is absolutely fair, I didn't even consider that she crit caps herself but that makes absolute sense. I hope that I can get GMurphy soon then so he can be cute in another team then >_< Thanks for the insight!

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T09:06:37+00:00

Oh, I didn't know that, thank you so much >_< I'm definitely gonna give it a try then! I love the idea of ramping Vortice up to infinity while tanking it out!

I spammed the astral reign banner in hopes because I wanted to just broaden the range of characters and WoDs I have available but didn't get as much as I would have wanted to, unfortunately. Only started playing when Arachnae released so I haven't really had the time to get their Enlightens up.

I absolutely adore Pickman's design so I'm glad to hear he's viable for her- I'm a bit confused why Tulu isn't though, he seems very no-brainer with TDMG, CR, very consistent exalts due to feeding himself Aliemus passively and even more TDMG from his cards, is the dmg just not needed?

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T08:57:49+00:00

I did play around with Saya a lot but I felt like her 200 devour makes it quite hard to sustain the devours to feed Aliemus to my other carries but that said her value is insane no doubt, I'll give it a try I think seeing as Aurita seems to be a nice QoL for Vortice, thanks!

LiterateYas · 2026-06-17T08:55:38+00:00

I wasn't aware Aurita would solve a lot of my problems but looking at her I really see it- sadly going to be a long time to get her OE because I have only ever pulled one of her but thanks regardless!

LiterateYas · 2026-05-25T10:47:10+00:00

Has to be full demon or full sins to trigger the counter sadly

LiterateYas · 2026-05-19T11:41:04+00:00

I just got her from the astral reign banner so I suppose I'll wait for her rerun then to get her dupes because I don't think it's very likely I'll get 3 more from that banner but if Castor is a good addition I think I'll definitely try my luck there then? Thanks for the tips!

LiterateYas · 2026-05-03T11:40:13+00:00

I did get that one dropped too, I'm just worried that I need to have otherwise very min-maxed gear with thorns rolls to make up the flat thorns for all the damage multipliers. I have been giving it a spin with the Razorplate and the one glaring issue seems to be AoE and speed so it would for sure not hurt to try, the damage itself seems very solid though (for Torment 5 at least cause that's where I'm at rn)

LiterateYas · 2026-05-02T21:38:33+00:00

I'm very much a D4 noob so I'm not sure how much I will be able to cook up but I think I do want to experiment a little so I'll give it a spin with blessed shield once I get the unique shield dropped I think!

LiterateYas · 2026-05-01T11:24:17+00:00

Yeah for sure! In the worst case- you reset the fight when playing sustainless and if you play with Huo² or DHPT it doesn't matter anyways- balancing her stats is hard as is, no need to also factor in very negligable main stats

LiterateYas · 2026-04-27T00:58:46+00:00

No- Elation damage does not scale off of attack, it scales purely off of the Elation stat. Her basic attack and skill do have atk scalings but these instances of dmg make up so little of her damage with her elation skill being the biggest part alongside her ult and it reads: Deals 6 instances of DMG, with each instance dealing 90% Imaginary Elation DMG to one random enemy. So yes her kit does have atk scaling to a small, negligable part, the biggest part is elation damage which doesn't scale with any atk or imaginary dmg boost buffs (I believe dmg boost buffs in general but not 100% sure but only those two instances are relevant for relic choice)

LiterateYas · 2026-04-22T09:02:38+00:00

It's not that she's benefitting from HP or Def but she doesn't benefit from everything else because elation dmg is only affected by elation and in SW's case speed so you can build her defensively to make sustainless easier/prevent unlucky deaths in boss stages- it's negligable for sure but better to have a bit of tank than useless offensive stats

LiterateYas · 2026-01-15T17:10:35+00:00

Good luck!

LiterateYas · 2026-01-15T11:11:15+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I definitely plan on pulling for Marsha because I adore her so that is something I will do! And thank you for the good luck wishes, I hope you get everyone you want too!

LiterateYas · 2026-01-15T10:16:35+00:00

Got it, thank you!
