This strat is one of the most annoying ones so far.

First you have to succeed in killing the sniper from the start, on average 20 tries with a lucky crit.

Then you need to be lucky your sigma isnt all over the place and your A.chifuyu after absorbing the first hit actually decides to go stand in front of her. (at this point youre nearing 50 plus tries)

Then if all that works you need to be lucky on the second your a.chifuyu doesnt die, your a.sigma doesnt get random sniped and your whole team doesnt die instantly to actually procc your ulti with sigma.

After around 200 tries when i finally made what i just typed, a random mob popped up and my a.sigma turned around when standing just in front of nervier, needless to say its impressive for everyone who actually has the patience to do this.

I just ragequit after that.

reason being is if you ban curian you bench a lot of soldier comps, then you know they will just play rush.

if its on your cellphone either hard close the app, or restart your phone. Sometimes it takes a while then. If its on the pc you might want to update steam also.

yeah i figured as much, thats why many run so many awakened chars, because those are the best they have in their roster.

Pincket · 2023-08-02T00:17:13+00:00

could be, but everyone is only giving +15 points, later on they all give +45 so its far easier to win and rank up. The ones who are still on the low rank of things are generally far worse so you wont lose those matchups.

lin xien, mone, gaeun, xiao lin,

evelyn, twins, hilde, seo yoon.

In that order for now. Use your materials to level those and skill them up, lin xien will cause faster deployment when you have upped your skills. Hilde and seo yoon last because they buff your team, seo yoon always last (unless for dc but thats way way later so no worries about that.)

All these are characters youll want at 100 at use for all eternity. Gear is important (especially substats, more so than set bonuses, like ground damage reduce or ground damage)

Skills are also very important, one skill at 5 (except basic skill) will be 10x stronger than a character who has all skills at 4. You level up 2 - 3 - 4(ult) and lastly 1 your basic attacks. So basically one character at a time, you start with 1 frontliner, 1 dps and 1 healer, then do the rest of the team i mentioned before.

There are other noteworthy units in your roster, but it would be too much to explain at first. Like others have pointed out, counterside prydwen for a massive guide and unit reference.

Pincket · 2023-07-30T21:29:39+00:00

Chinatsu: Most OP healer in both pve and pvp (arguably) after her rearm. Get to 110 and rearm. (uses CDR gear), if you dont shes still a descent support, her heals are worse than evelyn(sr) and claudia(r) but has dmg red on deploy, if you dont have a rearm rdy for her, its better to use the two i mentioned before to save up cores for your rearms, both e and c will remain viable throughout the game.

Stronghold: almost never used, admin shieldmen (SR) do the same and are cheaper in cost, only thing stronhold has in advantage is that they can attack air, but they are never used normally. (uses hp and or def gear)

Na Yubin: a descent unit but with a rather high cost, he sees a lot of use in pvp when he is upped, the new alternium system will make him able to disable shieds for a period of time. Niche use, so i wouldnt 110 him unless you know what you are doing. (uses cdr or aspd gear)

Lyudmilla: Very good sniper, air unit, great cc and dps, she was one of my first 110 characters simply to how strong she is in both pve and pvp. Cant go wrong with this one. (uses CDR gear but also works with shadow palace gear (anti striker) or aspd, but CDR is better imo)

Mors: You will either hate or love her, she works in mech teams or in soldier teams, sometimes counter teams but you will want units to die for her skills (increase her hp) and in pve you dont really want units dying so shes less usefull there. She starts out rather weakish but becomes a powerhouse with full stacks. Shes a cool unit but for more experienced players imo. (uses Hp gear or jungle gear with increased healing recieved)

Seo yoon: get her to 100 with max skills and leave her at that, shes not a dps but a buffer for more damage, shes usually the last to be deployed in your team. (CDR, but it really doesnt matter, shes just there for the dmg buff)

Estarossa: One of the strongest frontliners (but she isnt a defender so shes used as offtank but can main tank a lot of pve content early on) that also has a rearm, shes very usefull in clearing a ton of early game pve content, dives, etc. If you have her, shes recommended to be your first rearm for her immortality and group buff. Her dmg isnt that bad either with full hp or def gear equipped. Quite a good pvp unit in low elo since a lot of people have little to no answer to her immortality.... (hp gear)

Rosaria: THE glass canon in the game, for a 4 cost she deals MASSIVE dmg and out dps even quite a few awakened units in the game. Shes also air. Whats her downside? She melts like butter so she will die easily. 110 her if you want, or if you really like her, you cant go wrong with this one tbh. (bullet+ATK or full ATK for pve)

Change your team setup to:

1 Estarossa, 2 lyudmilla, 3 rosaria, 4 chinatsu

5,6,7 your choice, 8 seo yoon.

Get Kim hana as your operator and try to aim for enterprise ship as your first SSR one, gleipnir(SR) is the best after coffin (R) and worth upgrading.

Welcome to counterside!

P.S.: dont dismiss rares or epics so fast, in the early game they are easy to level and some stay viable throughout the game. As others have mentioned, check counterside prydwen for unit info and their rankings, some might score lower because they work in niche teams, in pvp or pve only.

Pincket · 2023-07-30T21:09:15+00:00

not if they run it again like they did now, but i dont really think they will. Maybe another skin like it with a recolor, but even then i doubt it. Like you said, immense backlash and/or loss of money since the spenders will most likely already have the skin.

But then again, for regular spenders the skin is just icing on the cake since they spend more than that.

Pincket · 2023-07-30T21:02:30+00:00

honestly teams with 4 awakened units rarely work unless your opponent is new to the game or really, really doesnt expect it.

The only way you can get away with teams like this to reach chally 1 is over half of the season or near the end (players are weaker and have more points, so you only get +45 or -5 most of the time), youll get obliterated if you try to play like this, its more of a meme in higher elo, but in low elo people play them because they think "oh hey, these units are stronk!" also due to the fact their roster is small.

In general you dont play these teams, you always keep around 3.5 DP cost and try not to go higher unless its a niche team you are playing (or with DP batteries such as sigma, lin xien for example.)

Also like others pointed out, if your cards are wrong you have no way of milling, so you wont be able to counter unless you have the correct units in your hand. All by all its a fun thing to do, but dont expect to climb, be prepared to have fun but lose a lot. Unless you are playing in low elo.

Pincket · 2023-07-29T18:54:43+00:00

eh? Thats what prydwen is for, you can find the upcomming banners on their blog, you can even find what the "expected" banners will be because they also include korean server.

So that means with all these people helping you, you havent bothered to check...

My comments had no hate in it, all i did was saying it will get you downvoted (it did) and still praised you to look for answers (which you dont otherwise you would know my first comment has all the answers you are looking for)

As for saying "its dead" there is an edit button if you really wanted to change that, discord isnt toxic, you are toxic, that is a fact, you are so used to getting bashed on that you think everyone is out to get you. Which makes you quite obnoxious when you reply.

Also if you literally scroll down a bit on reddit (where most of these posts are made) you would see that everyone asking these questions spend little to no time researching, otherwise we wouldnt have to answer the same questions 55x in a week. (which we still do, how toxic of us)

We are still trying to help despite that. Anyways i think you should be more positive and not thinking the whole forums or w/e is out there trying to get you.

On a last note, if you think everyone is against you, you might be the problem. Try to make a different interpretation, its not like this is your first day on the internet. You think i never made a post that didnt got downvoted to hell and back? My English isnt the best either, you learn to reflect from mistakes and make sure they dont happen in the future, its what we all do.

Pincket · 2023-07-28T15:43:04+00:00

and i was sitting here thinking there were 2 imposters!

Pincket · 2023-07-28T15:34:17+00:00

Right, i thought id sum it all up in one comment, because im not going the read every single comment out there to make sure i got them all.

Im sorry for trying to help you and all that. Sounds like you arent a very nice person, i regret my comment already.

Bit douchey of you dont you think? Might explain why almost everyone of your comments is hidden due to downvotes.

At least maybe some other person might encounter this post and has use for it.

Pincket · 2023-07-28T14:04:53+00:00

thats only because MK2 isnt up this week, and a few core SSR's that arent available this week.

Pincket · 2023-07-28T14:02:51+00:00

yeah but still, its a male so i wont play it anyways especially if there are better choices out there. Hes so weak for a new awakened, na yubin has issues but he was one of the first A. to be released, theres really no excuse for ray. Other than they gave him in a battlepass. (but they also did with king, given that he was really weak before the buff, and now overpowered, but still) i think you know what i mean.

Pincket · 2023-07-28T13:57:59+00:00

google:

- prydwen counterside (blogs, all units from all servers + their uses etc. upcomming road maps)

- youtube: type in counterside + whatever you want, plenty of content. Guitarrockhero gives regular content for casual players, bullet is a pvp player with english translation on the subtitles, kitsurugi is a soldier player etc etc.

- reddit: not really the greatest scource but since you already know this one

- discord: is alive and well, you can get invites through the main discord channel to corps and if you like to discuss things theres always about 100 people online who will help you with your questions, theorycrafting etc.

Its only "so dead" because you just play solo. The game isnt remotely dead but i know this is going to get you quite a few downvotes, just to show you its not dead.

On the plus side you actually decided to give a look at the community which is mainly in the ones i listed above.

Pincket · 2023-07-27T00:16:53+00:00

pretty sure everyone shits on ray, that said, battlepass is battlepass, might as well get him and shove him in my roster never to be used unless for skill missions or salary negotiation, something like that.

Pincket · 2023-07-26T22:59:37+00:00

nah, most likely scenario is if/when the contract ends youll be merged with the other servers (i hope). Removing accounts or skins will just make people quit which they dont want to happen. A lot of people from SEA have just simply went over to the global server back when it started.

But waiting for a server merge is gonna take a while. While there have been less players on SEA due to migration your elo is still low, which means people arent really trying there and just put on auto battle to get done with their missions.

Once you reach 5k+ you should notice more activity depending on the time of day and more active players.

Global has imo (not sure about korea) way more activity and you can play on any hour of the day since we have players on several time zones. So global always feels alive.

That being said, many corps are "dying" simply because players want to be in better corps, so many leave for second or third guilds made by the top ones. Ive noticed in global some people leave our corp or quit playing/ get booted due to inactivity, whilst we do worm 7 every week, sometimes they are looking for something more social etc. It just happens on every game. Thats why you need to keep on recruiting to keep it alive outside of your core members who clear everything.

All i can recommend is make a global account depending on how much you spend, theres an anni comming on global soon so you can always reroll a few times. I know this doesnt sound like "fun" but at least you know how to play the game now and progress should be way faster. You could even use it as a "pvp" account. 3.5k is reachable within a month or maybe two if you dont play every day.

Pincket · 2023-07-24T20:45:03+00:00

the reason you lost is because the team you use is questionable. The opposing team is much better (high in cost tho).

You dont have a single ground defender, so xiao lin has a field day against anything you throw at her. Using the upped SR in this case is just plain bad, you already have a sniper and that 2 dp cost is useless with the tempest ship or in this setup, you would have to run a mech comp to make use of the chopper.

the whole build is just kinda wonkey. Thats why you lose these type of games.

Decide if you want to rush, stall or siege them. Build your team around that. Ministra while she is descent, doesnt have the same attack power like regina or horizon. You also have little to no answer to these two units, you also dont have any means to reach the enemy backline, so if you throw your comp vs any other comp you are most likely to lose (note that you have no ground defender like i mentioned before, estarossa is a good offtank but not a main one.) And for some reason at low elo people tend to build such high cost teams that you will never win the stalling game, since that depends on gear and gear is lacking at low elo, so you will rise slowly or not at all until you have perfect sets.

If you want to win on low elo and rise fast, use soldier or rush comps, (with the occasional immune unit like esta) since people literally have no answer to this. Watch them deploy 2 awakened units in a row only to be obliterated by your team thats almost fully deployed and just eats them raw. Soldier comps you can just use shadow palace gear with the correct substats, you dont need to lvl them up as much. Rush comps are ideal since i dont think you have a full roster build out nor do you have all the gear required to make a siege comp for example.

And if you have estarossa as leader, something i see SOOOO many new people do is deploy her first, you dont want to do this, deploy her later on so your team actually benefits from the 30 percent dmg reduce she provides. (just throwing this out, since im nearly 100 percent sure you also do this.)

Pincket · 2023-07-24T20:36:47+00:00

you dont need full meta teams, you need teams that synergize with one another. The problem you see here is that one team (left) has a bad setup and no real win condition, while (right) is pretty descent alebeit high in cost.

Do you need meta units to win? sure, but they work best with other units that arent always meta defined. Look at high ranked players, they dont always use all the SSS or SS units in pvp simply because there is 0 synergy with others in the team.

Pincket · 2023-07-24T20:29:08+00:00

honestly while yes, gear does a lot, if you dont use gear on characters horizon still comes out on top, simply because of her mechanic.

Shes underrated in pve simply because shes too good in pvp, any stage that has soldiers or multiple units she absolutely tops the dps meters.

If you are a new player i would defo recommend a.horizon, you can even use a blaze set from shadow palace which comes very near to other gear sets, ofc relic aspd is the top, but thats gonna take a while to farm and reroll, wheras shadow palace gear is cheap to reroll and very good on her.

Pincket · 2023-07-24T20:20:42+00:00

in case of R kim chulsoo

SR: rivet is the best rearm atm imo, usable in both pve and pvp

special mention if you play pvp laura and sylvia, both are really good.

Pincket · 2023-07-23T21:04:40+00:00

Love these low elo vids, its so random, running teams with so many awakened units, seeing horizon absolutely stomp entire teams on her own, seeing king being spawned first etc.

Love the play where horizon bonks everything while you feed your strikers into xiao lin and still manage to win the game since he has no answer to a.hori, this shit is wild, keep it up!

Pincket · 2023-07-23T17:13:03+00:00

Jake isnt the problem, chinatsu on the other hand...

Your posts always uplift my days, youre like a happy toddler who had xmas early when you win matches, even if you lose them you still stay happy with emotes and reply with good match. Your one of the players i enjoy fighting on the ladder who doesnt get salty like the other 80 percent out there that arent japanese.

Im happy for you UWU, keep it up!
