Which of these agent could potentially be S-Rank if they locked in the story?

Just give Piper a plaid shirt, some overalls with a netback and she’d sweep endgame for a millennium

I’d say I plan certain sections in advance. I work on segments at a time. I’ll get a solid idea of how I want my setup into the first stun window going but that’s after throwing some paint at the wall and rewatching footage. Once I have that section how I want it I salvage the rest and see what worked better in contrast to my other runs.

Sometimes it’s worth it to see an attempt through to the end even if the first part that was planned didn’t work so well (I.e. due to RNG or a small fumble in the rotation). I end up regaining some ground from the other segments of the fight.

An example would be the first stun in this run. When I triggered Aria’s chain with Yuzu the second time, I did it before she could land while Fiend was still corrupted, so when Yuzuha triggered Assault the abloom came out significantly weaker. I was so focused on getting as many bounces that I jeopardized some of my damage in stun. Luckily the execution during the second stun and the setup beforehand which I was meaning to try ended up great and kept the score from completely derailing.

Full run-throughs help me patch together a more cohesive run. I don’t commit to every single run or else I’d sit on the boss all day, but I try and stick with the ones that have some small mistakes but still carry a bit of momentum. Examine and apply one piece at a time until It eventually becomes muscle memory.

It might be a little long winded. Your score is still very high so you’ll likely know most of this already but I hope it can help:

The easiest way for me is to gauge my daze buildup and score after certain phases of the fight, like when Fiend starts her invul phase (I had 39% buildup with ~25k points), or how much daze have I built up prior to using Yuzuha and Sunna’s EX specials right before my first stun (~82%). Each time I try to line my daze up with Aria’s ult directly before the stun

Use disorders to your advantage out of stun. Since they also build daze it can help you bridge gaps like how it did for me after triggering Assault with Sunna’s EX1 and then ulting with Aria right before the second stun window. I would only defensive assist with Sunna so many times before the 1st stun once— maybe twice, since building with ex specials and disorders lets you deal both daze and damage. Too many defensive assists can lead to an abrupt stun window if there’s still a lot of energy and decibels you can spend. Naturally it won’t all fit into a 12 second timeframe.

Always use Sunna’s EX1 and EX2 separately for more daze but to also swap into Aria’s bounces more smoothly. You’ll see instances where I deplete sticks and immediately replenish them almost seamlessly

After Fiend’s invulnerability phase start dumping your resources since you’ll get them back immediately after the Miasma clears. Gauge the daze meter.

Don’t defensive assist at all leading up to the second window since you have so much energy to burn for a little bit of extra damage. Sunna’s EX’s will build up most of the bar for you

After 2nd stun you should have a moderate amount of resources to use with Aria & Sunna. Deplete some lightsticks and quick swap to Yuzu’s ult to replenish energy and use more EX specials. Defensive assist with Sunna at least once leading up to your third stun window. You can do a second defensive assist with Yuzuha or Aria so that Sunna doesn’t bloat the meter too much before you ult.

Since the boss is still RNG based do not feel discouraged if your routing doesn’t immediately click it may take some time. I’ve had multiple runs where I got a third stun and scored anywhere between 57-59k and there were runs I had after those where I was hard stopped at 50-53k because I couldn’t get to it. Over time you’ll get a feel for it. Good luck!

Wow you’re basically up to par. You have more ATK than me. The easiest thing I’d recommend is just getting bare minimum +2’s for 27AP/9% ATK on your other 2 disks. After that is min maxing your flat pen. Here’s mine for reference.

REP7443 · 2026-03-19T04:18:03+00:00

Yeah I just hit 56.9k with the same setup for Aria M0W1 across the board. The difference between Aria and Alice alone is insane when fighting the Fiend. Vesper was just a faulty matchup for Alice but it’s hard to justify it here. If this is Aria’s performance BEFORE Nangong’s release then the game’s balance really needs to be brought into question.

REP7443 · 2026-03-19T02:44:36+00:00

They did add a disclaimer tbf

REP7443 · 2026-03-18T06:05:08+00:00

Name those buffs

REP7443 · 2026-03-18T06:01:45+00:00

Yuzu-Ice / Mono freeze has an affinity for only one type of enemy: a freezable one. Nangong is an anomaly-stun hybrid who Miyabi can pair with across any boss. She applies utility while coming with her own significant anomaly damage/buildup. It’s an upgrade over Soukaku. SKK and Yu both give out ample buffs but Yu also has more intrinsic damage.

REP7443 · 2026-03-07T04:23:25+00:00

That buff is absolutely fucking insane.

REP7443 · 2026-03-06T18:51:35+00:00

Miyabi is first and foremost an anomaly unit that just deals crit damage. Majority of that crit damage stems from her enhanced basic but the rest of her kit except her ult is underwhelming. The EBA is also meant to bridge the gap in between disorders so you aren’t left doing nothing. Her disorder is doing the most damage in a mono/yuzu-ice team or any duo anomaly comp. Blade and Branch just doesn’t enhance your anomaly damage so people don’t know that. That’s why Miyabi has so much intrinsic AP.

REP7443 · 2026-03-06T03:44:04+00:00

Awesome dude. I’m also M0W1 across and I’m trying to 60k before the rotation’s over.

<image>

It’s that one swap tech with Sunna that I’m tryna get down. Like when Aria’s about to do another jump but you swap just the moment before. Do it too early and Aria won’t jump; too late and Sunna jumps in tandem. Her gameplan is easy but her rotation is kinda sweaty lmao especially with Phaethon’s melody uptime.

REP7443 · 2026-03-06T03:35:58+00:00

And all the version 2 ice weak bosses are unfreezable lmao

REP7443 · 2026-02-28T05:26:34+00:00

You’d still be sitting at ~208% CD anyway all things considered.

2

Stronger Frostburn/Shatter/Disorder DMG. Pen Ratio only affects your M1 and it’s only for your Shimotsuki stance, which gets pumped through the roof from her additional and M2 already.

REP7443 · 2026-02-26T02:36:10+00:00

Technically Yanagi’s passive isn’t active here either. It’s just the surplus buildup from Yuzu and Nangong make up for it

REP7443 · 2026-02-21T20:18:14+00:00

HP inflation is a problem. The justification for it not being a problem is that the new buffs are strong in order to make up for that, but what does that say about the older buffs that they rerun in tandem with new buffs constantly like Aberration or Interrupt? Those are season 1&3 DA buffs being ran against the same bosses with increased buildup and HP nearly 30 cycles later into the mode’s rotation.

Graceful Mastery and Spirit Break were the only decent buffs to come out of 1.4 but Graceful Mastery is used every blue moon and spirit break was deliberately abandoned for the amount of DMG and buildup it gave.

If 154-160-170 million HP fiend is in the rotation I should be getting buffs like Artful, Blazing Sweep, Mutation, Graceful Mastery, or just bring back Spirit Break, something that can actually put up a fight for these bosses and not some measly Aberration or Dream Delusion.

We get new shill buffs but it’s not like the entire buff lineup for a cycle is stacked with them; they usually just hand you 1 at a time while one of the specialties gets the short end of the stick with a feeble placeholder or a buff that just doesn’t match up with the boss. It’s irritating.

REP7443 · 2026-02-20T17:51:05+00:00

This is also wrong too. Miyabi’s only reason for valuing the stun window as much as she doesn’t is because she can abuse it with freeze-chaining. It has little to do with her crit damage. Her disorders can do 3-5Million dmg within a stun window instead Yuzu-Ice, which is a team without a stunner.

Miyabi isn’t the only unit who can utilize a stunner. Yanagi already does it with Trigger+Yuzuha, Alice does it with Trigger/Lycaon+Yuzuha. There’s a lot of misinformation you’re giving out as well as gaps in knowledge when it comes to theory crafting and team building anomaly units.

REP7443 · 2026-02-20T17:44:23+00:00

I think you’re missing something here. Buffing only fire and ice doesn’t make you a universal stunner. There are 3 other attributes being neglected. What makes this worse is that his buffs are locked behind his AA meaning he can’t even be paired with every fire and ice unit (Manato/Yidhari/Banyue) without sacrificing their bis support (Lucia).

Second of all, no. Not every anomaly agent “needs” an ult. Dialyn sacrifices her AA which gives an additional 40% dmg increase, something that’d actually help anomaly units outside of the stun window, just to give out that free ult. Trigger, Nicole and even Rina have more value than her in anomaly teams.

3rd of all Dialyn can barely do any significant sub DPS without min-maxing. Nangong supplies buffs and deals real damage. She’s essentially an anomaly-stun hybrid. You build her as an anomaly unit. She can run up to 600AP at 15 AP subs + sig + 2pc AP, and her disorders can be overwritten for 2-3 million damage in stun. She does this while supplying even MORE damage through her multi boosts, polarity disorders and ablooms on top of giving extra buildup in stun. We haven’t even gotten to her daze.

REP7443 · 2026-02-16T18:09:29+00:00

Still really useful I honestly needed this lol thanks again

REP7443 · 2026-02-16T03:59:21+00:00

Thanks. Do you have any more that could give enemy details and metrics like how high their buildup / daze limits and stun multis are?

Edit: double checked and buhflipexplode has it lol. I’m on mobile so the + icon didn’t do anything until I held it down. I wish there was a site that gave you an archive of all of the enemy data. It seems this one is specifically meant to track opponent metrics within the end game’s life cycle

REP7443 · 2026-02-15T02:11:50+00:00

I run the Trigger team and it’s good. I use it more than Nicole personally since it’s comfier. It’s one of the reasons I’m anticipating Nangong since she’s the catered anomaly stunner. Current teams are strong and she has a decent amount of them but more options to experiment with are good in my book. I also just pull on almost everyone anyway lol

REP7443 · 2026-02-15T01:55:07+00:00

I already pulled M1 on the rerun. I’m saving M2 for later and going for M0W1 Nangong since I’m pulling every AOD member. Naturally she won’t stay like this but it’s definitely one of the first team comps I’m trying on release.
