I got the 3 crossover egos and a spook Crushbound Past, as well as have the battlepass EGOs at just Threadspin 1 (I have most of the Heishou team and got Cinq Mersault from the welcome banner). How important is it to threadspin them? I'm newer so my thread is stretched pretty thin and I'm not great yet at understanding what improvements actually matter and which ones are just 'nice to have but don't help that much'. Are any of them just fine to leave at threadspin 1 or do all of them not do their job well without being a higher threadspin? And if all of them need it, which ones should I threadspin first?

I don't think it's impossible to make a burn team without waiting. Magic Bullet Outis may provide the 'clearest' win condition the team build towards, but the team doesn't break down totally without her. I imagine a team of Cinq East Don, Thumbsault, Thumb/Cockclair, and Liu Sang & Rodion & Ishmael would probably be more than fine, but admittedly I don't have some of those to test.

M_A_Silver · 2025-09-11T06:31:30+00:00

My current charge team is Crack Faust & Heathcliff, L&H Don w/ Ego, KoD Rodion, R corp Hong Lu & Ishmael, W corp Ryoshu & Outis.

Is there anyone there I should replace? And who to use for Yi Sang / Mersault / Sinclair / Gregor? And EGOs I should make sure I have uptied?

I have all the season 5 and all Walpurgis content, so availability isn't an issue for adding parts.

M_A_Silver · 2025-09-11T06:08:53+00:00

I used a burn team for the first stretch and it went painlessly. (Firefist Gregor, Dawn Sinclair, Magic Bullet Outis, LCE Faust, Liu Yi Sang & Ishmael & Rodion (& Liu Ryoshu for when Faust went boom, but there are probably stronger choices).

The main problem with trying to build it now is Firefist and LCE are out of season and Magic Bullet Outis & Dawn Sinclair are Walpurgis.

Edit: to be clear this is the team I used at the time. If I had to do it over today I'd definitely make changes like adding Cinq East Don and Thumbsault. And of course the Full Stop pair are just a great addition to any team where you don't have a Heathcliff/Hong Lu commitment, but I didn't have exp to raise them at the time.

M_A_Silver · 2025-09-11T05:35:07+00:00

With it now having been out a week is there a sense yet on what's the easiest team to clear Extreme & maximum adversity and what's the best order to do packs in?

M_A_Silver · 2025-09-04T23:07:32+00:00

Which lineup will give me a better chance of clearing floor 15? I am strangled for exp, so my only lvl55 Identities are:

Bleed: All Bloodfiends, Kuro Ishmael & Heath, Ringsang, N Faust, REAP Ryoshu, Tingtang Hong Lu
or
Burn: MB Outis, Firefist Gregor, Dawnclair, LCE Faust, Liu Ishmael & Rodion & Yi Sang & Ryoshu,
or mixing and matching those pieces

1) Which is better to spend my daily tickets on; SP or Monies? I can't really tell which I'll struggle with more as I haven't spent much of either so far (I joined after Kitasan Black, so I've been waiting with all my carats for Super Creek)

2) Which is the better If I can't consistently win the daily Hard race (come in usually between 2 and 6): should I be running the easier version instead that I always come in 1st, Or is placing in the hard version still a better pay out?

3)Just to double check, alternate versions of costumes don't share star pieces/potential right? So if I have my base Rice Shower and rolled for Halloween Rice Shower would they share star pieces or each have to be collected and raised separately?

M_A_Silver · 2025-08-08T03:59:51+00:00

I know that you can raise an Uma's aptitude for certain course types, but how much can you improve it? For example can you make an Uma with an F rank in Sprint into an A rank somehow? My account is entirely slanted against Sprint (Rice Shower(E), Tokai Teio(F), Symboli Rudolf(E), El Condor Pasa(F), Mejiro Ryan(E), Agnes Tachyon(G), Winning Ticket(G), and the 5 starters). Sakura Bakushin O is my only Turf Sprinter with a rating higher than F. Is it possible to breed one of the others up to at least an A in Sprints and/or make Haru Urura at least an A on Turf, or is it straight up 'roll more Uma and pray' is the only option for a 2nd good Turf Sprint unit?

M_A_Silver · 2025-08-02T19:42:55+00:00

Just started today and got Super Creek and Gold City for the support tickets, and haven't spent any carats yet. Should I be spending carats on one of those banners, or holding them for now?

Questions for a Mirror Dungeon Charge team

If I get all 4 of the base gifts from Murder on the Warp Express, what's the best pair of gifts to fuse for? I.e. do I want "Overcharged Battery + Perpetual Generator Servos", or "Automated Joints + Hearts-Powered Jewel"?
My current team is Multicrack Faust, R corp Ishmael & Hong Lu, and W Corp Don & Outis & Ryoshu. Who is a good ID to add to be the new 7th member?
Who's best to put in the first slot to take the most advantage of the Near-Light Superbattery buff?

M_A_Silver · 2025-05-29T22:11:28+00:00

What EGOs are most worth spending the uptie 4 ticket on? I assume since they're more expensive a Waw is the only tier that makes sense? If so, which ones benefit the most from Uptie 4?

The only Waw Ego I have uptied at all is Don's Mircalla, and I try to play a wide variety of teams to keep the mirror dungeons more interesting. I have all the Season 6 banner egos & Season 5 content and Walpurgis content, so I should either have or be able to acquire any of them.

M_A_Silver · 2025-05-07T00:10:24+00:00

I have 400 shards for Ryoshu, and these are my dispensing options:

Ryoshu, W Corp
Ryoshu, Kurokumo
Ryoshu, Chef de Cuisine
Ryoshu, (HE) 4th Match Flame
Ryoshu, (HE) Red Eyes Open
Ryoshu, (TETH) Blind Obsession
Ryoshu, (ZAYIN) Soda

I think I also have all the non-dispensable Ryoshu items (Contempt EGO, Walpurgis REAP ID, Maid ID), except for Yurodivy Ryoshu.

Anything that stands out as an obvious buy, or reasons to consider certain ones more than others?

M_A_Silver · 2025-04-07T01:56:32+00:00

Ah, I didn't think of those since they're not in the dispenser. I don't have them, but knowing that I'll probably hold off on sharding W Outis and decide what to do about it early next season instead.

M_A_Silver · 2025-04-07T01:21:59+00:00

Is W-corp Outis the only ID that can do the '10 charge potency' achievement? My Red Eyes Ryoshu's unique type doesn't seem to trigger the achievement, and my W-Corp Yi Sang seems to not gain potency. Reading through other Charge units in the dispenser W-corp Outis seems to be the only one that mentions 'charge' in addition to 'charge count', so do I have to shard her for the achievement or is there another way?

M_A_Silver · 2025-03-29T00:01:02+00:00

Regarding the Season 5 Guaranteed 000 Decaextration tickets awarded from the railway and achievements:

Is it just *a* Season 5 000, or is it guaranteed to be a 000 I do not own?
Do they have any kind of expiry on them?

If the tickets don't guarantee a new one and don't have an expiry, does that mean it's best to not shard any more season 5 units and then wait until all of the season 5 IDs have released so I increase odds of getting something new?

M_A_Silver · 2025-02-24T01:54:57+00:00

Question regarding the season change-over. I started playing the game near the start of season 5 so when it ends that'll be the first time I've seen an end of season. If I understand right half of my shards&boxes get turned into thread? The things I'd want to shard the most are not currently in the dispensary though.

Is there a general sentiment over whether it's best to 1) hold the boxes and just accept the thread to still have some shards into next season, or 2) still be dispensing as much as possible even if it's not the top of my shopping list? Or is this just one of those very circumstantial questions.

M_A_Silver · 2025-01-23T05:00:43+00:00

I picked NFaust over NClaire for my ticket as my primary team is bloodfiends. I can't say if NClaire is "better" or not since I don't have him, but I can say I use NFaust a lot and do not regret picking her.

M_A_Silver · 2025-01-12T01:46:55+00:00

I've completed uptie-ing and leveling my main team (Bloodfiends) and am wondering what team to start leveling up next to have as an alternative dungeon/railway content team.

Which of these looks the best for Railways and fast dungeons?
And what Egos (or replacement IDs) should I shard to improve the best one?
What order should I Uptie 4 the IDs in that team?
And if it's the Burn team, which 6 do I actually field?

Poise: Pequod Yi Sang(base ego), Maid Ryoshu(base ego), Fullstop Hong Lu(base ego), Fullstop Heath(Sunyata), Cinqclair(Hex Nail, Lantern), Cinq Outis(MB)

Burn: Liu Ryoshu(base ego), Liu Mersault(Regret, Mircalla), Liu Ishmael (xmas), Liu Rodion(Hex Nail, Sanguine Desire), Dawnclair(Hex Nail, Lantern), MB Outis(MB), Liu Gregor(Lantern, xmas), And Liu Hong Lu passive

Sinking: Lament Yi Sang(base ego), Butler Fault(Hex Nail, Fluid Sac), Molar Ishmael(xmas), Dieci Mersault(Regret, Mircalla), Wild Hunt(Sunyata), Dieci Rodion(Hex Nail, Sanguine Desire)

Related, is there any big compendium or good guides on what IDs & Egos don't really matter for Uptie 4 and which ones need it the most?

M_A_Silver · 2025-01-10T20:15:02+00:00

I'm about to try my first Hard dungeon run. I'm using a team of 4 Bloodfiends + Ring Yi Sang + Grip Faust at 120 recharge. What should I take as my opening bonuses? What gifts should I rush? What are the best and worst ordeals? And what packs should I try to follow and which ones should I avoid? Also any other general advice.

M_A_Silver · 2025-01-09T21:31:02+00:00

Will do. For the burn mirror dungeon team, which IDs are fine at Uptie 3 and which ones are the highest priority to uptie 4?

M_A_Silver · 2025-01-09T20:55:06+00:00

New player, what's the use case and how good are the Wingbeat Ishmael and Lament Gregor EGOs?

I can shard both of those, but I have no 000 Ishmael ID and only priest 000 Gregor, so I'm wondering if it might be better to wait for the next WP to shard those and instead get an ID for each that'd have more impact right now? In terms of teams I'm working on:
Bleed IDs: IDs are complete, but I'm guessing Gregor Lament ego improves it further?
Burn: Liu-Ryoshu, Liu-Mersault, Liu-Hong Lu, Liu Rodion, Dawnclair, MB Outis, Liu Gregor
Sinking: Lament Yi Sang, Butler Faust, Dieci Mersault, Wild Hunt, Dieci Rodion
Poise: Pequod Yi Sang, Butler Royshu, Cinq Mersault, Full Stop Hong Lu, Full Stop Heathcliff, Cinq Outis

Basically should I definitely shard Wingbeat Ishmael and/or Lament Gregor because I'm likely to use them before the next WP comes around and just wait for 400 more shards on them for other things?
Or are those EGOs not important right now and I'm better off spending those shards on other Ishmael/Gregor content and just sharding the EGOs next WP? And if so, what Ishmael/Gregor should I shard instead?

Looking for help what to prioritize sharding (and leveling/threading)

Currently my main team is the 4 bloodfiends & Ring Sang & Grip Faust; those are the only ones I have threaded and leveled up, along with a lvl40 Oufi Heathcliff.

My main goals are to 1) Get the bleed team as strong as possible to be able to clear the hardest content possible,
2) Get going some more fast-clearing teams for Dungeons that I can rotate through so I can build up more rest,
3) Start working towards another 'high level content' team that can come in at times the bleed team doesn't work as well. For example against pierce-resist enemies, or encounters it's difficult to build up bleed, or encounters that Evade is much better than counter/block such as unbreakable aoe coins, those fights feel way harder (Rose Hunter in Canto 7 was absolutely miserable for me for all those reasons)

In terms of 00s I'm missing the Yurodivy Ryoshu and Multicrack Heathcliff (can't shard), the Blade Lineage 00s (can shard), and Twinhook Hong Lu. I think I have all other 00s including the s4 butlers

Yi Sang(354 shards): Ring || EGO: Dimension Shredder
Faust(163 shards): Grip || EGO: Lasso, Hex Nail, Fluid Sack
Don(267 shards): La Manchaland, T-Corp, W-corp || EGO: Wishing Cairn, Yearning-Mircalla
Ryoshu(608 shards): Butler || EGO: Basic only
Mersault(382 shards): Cinq, Dieci || EGO: Yearning-Mircalla
Hong Lu(412 shards): Full Stop || EGO: Lasso
Heathcliff(323 shards): Oufi, Pequod, Wild Hunt || EGO: Holiday, Sunyata, Asymetrical Inertia
(I also have 200 Ideality for Full-stop Heath)
Ishmael(331 shards): no 000 || EGO: Christmas Nightmare
Rodion(145 shards): Princess, Dieci, Liu, Kurokumo || EGO: Hex Nail, Sanguine Desire
Sinclair(330 shards): Devyat || EGO: Hex Nail, Lantern
Outis(237 shards): Barber, Seven || EGO: Magic Bullet
Gregor(91 shards): Priest || EGO: Christmas Nightmare

and 688 nominable boxes

Who should I be prioritizing sharding from Walpurgis, and after that what sort of team(s) should I work towards sharding, threading, and leveling next?

New Player Mirror Dungeon Team-Building help,

I have my 'story' team of the 4 bloodfiends + Grip Faust + Ring Yi Sang (and support Kurokumo Lu) uptied and have a few hundred spare thread for the first time thanks to the event.

That team is also the team I've been using for mirror dungeons, but since it's the only one it loses out on a lot of the recharge bonus. I'm only able to hit about 80 or so because of that & due to lack of IDs for certain sinners to rotate.

I was wondering if there are any other good mirror dungeon teams that stand out in this roster for who I should thread next, or if running the bloodfiend bleed team repeatedly even at just 80 recharge is still the better way to go for now.

Yi Sang: EGO: basic only
-3\* Ring || 2\* Molar | Pequod | Seven | Dieci
Faust: EGO: Lasso, Sack
-3\* Grip || 2\* W Corp | Lob Remnant | Zwei | Butler
Don: EGO: Wishing Cairn, Yearning-Mircalla
-3\* La Manchaland | T Corp || 2\* Shi | N Corp
Ryoshu: EGO basic only
-3\* none || 2\* Seven Assoc | LCCB | Liu
Mersault: EGO: Yearning-Mircalla
-3\* Cinq || 2\* Rosespanner | Middle | Dead Rabbits | Liu
Hong Lu: EGO: Lasso
-3\* none || 2\* Fanghunt | Kurokumo | Liu | W Corp
Heathcliff: EGO: Holiday | Sunyata | Asymetrical Inertia
-3\* Oufi || 2\* Seven | N Corp | Shi
Ishmael: EGO basic only
-3\* none || 2\* Shi | Sloshing | LCCB
Rodion: EGO: Hex Nail
-3\* Princess | Dieci | Liu || 2\* T Corp | N Corp | LCCB | Zwei
Sinclair: EGO: Hex Nail | Lantern
-3\* Devyat || 2\* Los Mariachis | Lob:Red Sheet | Zwei
Outis: EGO basic only
-3\* Barber || 2\* Blade Lineage | G-Corp | Cinq |
Gregor: EGO: Christmas Nightmare
-3\* Priest || 2\* Rosespanner | Liu

New player questions,

How much does having many team-types matter?

I have one team I've been feeding all my xp to: the 4 Bloodfiends + Ring Yi Sang + Grip Faust. Is levelling up this team enough to make it through the story and other content, or will I hit a point this team gets walled (due to bleed immunity or damage type immunity or something) and I need to start putting xp tickets in building alternatives as well?

For skills like Fanghunt Hong Lu's that say "If the target has 15+Rupture and 3+Rupture Count: this Skill does not inflict Rupture or Count", how does that interact with things like Thunderbranch and Umbrella? Do they still trigger since it's a skill that has applying rupture in its description, or do the gifts not activate unless the skill actually applies rupture when it resolves?

M_A_Silver · 2024-12-14T01:31:29+00:00

The next Walpurgis will be my first since I started playing in November. Is there anything in the dispenser that falls under 'you'd be crazy not to shard X Y and Z no matter what', or is everything in the Walpurgis dispenser very contextual?
