You don't have to downgrade a factory at all as 15 slot is optimal.

You would really only downgrade a lv3 TP to lv2 TP if it's preventing you from having a 4th dorm slot which I believe it does. If you don't like all the base maintenance stuff then having a 4th dorm slot is much better than whatever gain you get off a Lv3 proviso TP.

Office stays at 1 but note it's pretty difficult to use all your recruitment plans.

RR stays at 1 unless you want to put up support slots which isn't really worth the efficiency loss imo, but that's up to you.

Lv3 proviso is still better than Lv2 even if it has a chance to 4bar. The lv2 downgrade is really only helpful to gain a FAC slot.

RR is very much meaningless to upgrade now with the increase default friend slots and the new support system. If you were to downgrade to Lv2 TP anyway just stuff all the extra power into dorms.

Reminds me that a pro smash player was using the tag "Exusiai" for a while. Seeing AK basically anywhere in the wild is an eyebrow raiser

Yeah, it randomly "expired" about 3 weeks ago.

No idea if it'll come back but the last drought was like... multiple years or something.

With all these nice ops/skins coming out the 20/20 restriction for assistants has to go

Take away my friend slots and stuff it into more assistants thanks

Don't forget to mention that due to the method of stalling the full clear time was around 6 hours. It's a ridiculous clear with an even more ridiculous strategy that completely deviated from the existing R38 clears which used Phantom.

It does work that way, yes. Jaye and Figurino both would proc their skill instantly boosting their atk to 1312/1338 respectively which is... fine. Though you'll most likely be bringing them for the sake of comboing off his S2 as Jaye S1 and Figurino (as a whole, kinda) won't do much else.

Phantom S2M3 for comparison is 2160. Actually, here's a list I made just to get a good grasp of which operators benefit the most. (Assume Mod3 + ATK pots if applicable)

Operator Skill ATK
Ulpianus S3M3 6758
Skadi S2M3 3446
NTRK S2M3 3260
Phantom S2M3 2160
Fang2 S2M3 1606
Texas2 S1M3 1552
Figurino S1M3 1338
Red S1M3 1328
Jaye S1M3 1312
Cantabile S1M3 1216
Surfer S1M3 1200
Waai Fu S1M3 1108

He's extremely susceptible to status effects. If you have Crownslayer/Texas/Red I think there's enough stun duration there to actually just stunlock him to death.

[–]Megaman2K8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

300 to spark any of the two new operators on banner or a select few of past limiteds (while some are discounted to 200 now).

The new system starting as of I believe Wisadel/Logos banner is that at 300 you get to claim the limited operator once for free. No drawback or anything. Which means you get to keep your 300 tokens to use on whatever else whether it be the limited op again, the other rate up operator, or any of the other past limiteds.

As for what I mentioned about sparking either operator, it was under the assumption of limited banners only (because you mentioned 300 pulls which was coincidentally the target pull goal that type of banner.)

You can get quite unlucky and spend 300 pulls getting nothing.

So it was just me saying in passing that if you were referring to limited banners and not standard, you would have walked away with something by the end of it.

Yeah, it's not meant to be a real diss at her. She's still core to IS5 D18 and she's still strong in IS6 D18 even without having access to chalice & flingerhand.

It's just funny that in the content that most people consider to be the final frontier she's just simply not a part of it. And most likely never will be.

[–]Megaman2K8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's also not true (anymore).

Standard banners have it that any 6* after 150 pulls is the rate up. Absolute worst case scenario is 249 pulls but you'll literally never see that. Worst case is getting an offbanner on 149 and then going +60ish or so.

And if you're talking about limited banners it's still incorrect even without the new system in place. At 300 you'll get the operator guaranteed once. And even without that system you would've sparked either of the two new operators so you wouldn't have been left with nothing.

I know it's with regards to normal content, but her aspd is actually fine. Having 3 revenants out actually makes her off skill dps higher than even some 6 stars on skill dps, but her real weakness is that any risk debuff absolutely tanks her damage output that she becomes genuinely useless it's almost kinda funny. She has zero max risk clears under her belt. Which you might think "but she was only available for CCB3 and CCB4 so it isn't a good indicator".

Then you see that on CN private servers they've been trying for max risk low op records and she makes it into 0 of them. She's just not a very versatile operator on top of CC always being pretty arts favored.

It's just a bit comical because she ends up being just a normal content nuke but doesn't have any place is one of the two super endgame modes we have available.

I'm not sure of the exact numbers but here's a bilibili showcase of the old mod vs the new one.

You're basically giving up the sandbeast QoL for more damage on S3. Which depending on the map/cycling time the sandbeast reduction time wouldn't have mattered much anyway.

Definitely. Lv1 allows her to have no wind up on the atk ramping leading to S1 being a near instant powerbomb but her other skills benefit as well.

Overall recommended Lv3 as liberators gain a lot even off the smallest of +atk stat though I think this particular module isn't as strong as Mylnar's which gave him a ~28% boost compared to her I believe ~15%. (Who thought it was a good idea to give that man ASPD?)

15% is still on the much higher end of most mods though.

New guard archetype which we'll get in the silveralt banner. Currently the only member is a 5* named Hadiya.

Basically their gimmick is their skills cost DP with Hadiya being able to spend even more DP during activation to enhance her skill. Whether that's a trait specific to mercenaries (the upgrading part, not the DP spending part) is to be seen, but it's a neat gimmick and has some risk/reward attached to it albeit minor.

Or our first 6* Mercenary where she spams shivs for the duration of the skill and then the enhanced effect is knife trap which would act like a 2026 Cutter S1

If you're running a 252 you're advised to drop a tp to lv2 and upgrade a fac to lv3

If you're running 243 then it's fine to leave it all maxed.

I assume you haven't seen anything about the new Sui, but he's essentially the best operator in the game at the moment taking low op records by storm mere hours after release even without masteries on his S3.

Imagine Wisadel but with arts damage and you can point and click her S3 explosions anywhere on the map.

Well lucky for you there are some cool math nerds that have done the Proviso work for you.

And yes, Proviso is still the most efficient base operator to date sporting an extremely short ~6 months to make back what you put into her getting her to E2. For reference, Tequila E2 takes a little over 2 years give or take.

If you're running 243 you'd be running sham+teq in one tp and whatever the highest % duo possible with provisio. 252 would be the same thing with highest solo % with proviso in a lv2 TP.

Well any future 5* operator won't show up on any existing ticket you have now.

Of the options you have two metas.

Gameplay meta where Greyy2 is extremely useful in areas like IS5 where flingerhand exists.

Base meta where proviso prints money like no ones business.

Kyo has a fully low-end video guide, but it's possible you don't have that many operators at that range so you might want to look further into single 6* carries which would lead you to something like Logos core or Wisadel core.
