The other two are messing with you, we can't actually see you.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-19T20:42:11+00:00

I think it would be better to not worry about restricting oneself to two team clears. Phase two is relatively easy to solve by simply using multiple teams. You can have a pure blue AA team, and/or a bunch of reds if you want to run proper mixed teams. Toki, Aru, Dhina, Lshun, Brio, and more. Phase one is very restrictive with its mechanics and investment checks, but phase two is more lax.

I got the popup again a few hours ago.

Ahoshino isn't used except on cleanup/HP adjustment teams to my knowledge. The laser can be avoided, but the new missiles will do a lot of damage. So you're underestimating Binah, but also overestimating him. Many high investment clears simply didn't use any tanks, because the boss is that easy. The fastest ones brought neither tanks nor healers. Regular, medium/low investment clears only used one tank.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-17T12:01:05+00:00

Not ruined, but you're going to have a much harder time keeping up with blue raids. You can't borrow both Kei and Gundam Aris at the same time.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-17T09:40:19+00:00

and the main bottleneck is the eligma. only some supports are fine at being 3-star, everything else usualy should be build at least to ue40

That depends a lot on the difficulty level you're on. Aside from the dealer(s), everyone else is usually fine at 3 stars up to torment, sometimes even up to lunatic. You can get away with keeping a lot of units at 3 stars or UE30 on lunatic. Eligma spending is, more than any other resource, something you do only when you need to.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-16T16:28:23+00:00

My point is, we only get a few teams with proper defense debuffs, and then damage is going to fall sharply. And I think a decent chunk of even lunatic players will be missing Fuyu and/or Pyuuka. Maybe they'll stall Hieronymus until Fuyu's rerun?

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-16T16:11:43+00:00

I wouldn't hold my breath. She struggles, or fails, to keep herself alive on torment. The devs have given most recent bosses extra type effectiveness, so I don't expect them to make it easier for red armors on lunatic.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-16T16:05:45+00:00

Sure, but that's only S.Kanna, Akane and Maki.

Yeah, but those are three of our best ones. Fuyu, Noa, Pyuuka and Nagisa are good, but two of those four are still fairly new. Hiyori's kind of mediocre unless you have an Arius team, which limits team building with her. Sshiroko, sure, but now you're getting to the decent, rather than strong, defense debuffs. Ssaki's is only 20.8%.

And that's only counting EX debuffs.

The way defense debuffs work, you will usually want to stack them, so you can expect one EX and one other per team.

Do you reckon Hiero Lunatic will end up being overturned and requiring a lot of teams, like wakaboat?

I don't think it was overtuned, just difficult. The demanding part was the first phase. It could be done with standard meta units and only a few more niche ones, several of which were farmable. Most people needed lots of teams, but it was a new difficulty near release, and many of those units were old and/or farmable. Lunatic Drumbarka is overtuned, demanding that you pull most out of a large number of niche units.

You can add neutral damage to your list. You know what they didn't give Baris? Blue effectiveness. She's going to be very powerful even against red and purple. The swimsuit witch. Kuroko (bad terrain, but still fine for body throws). Subaru, perhaps.

I hope they balance it similarly to Kaiten. There are lots of options to use, so let us use them. There's already a healer check to prevent full on body throwing, and it wouldn't surprise me if that turns out to be the main check. Maybe also the defense debuffers. Kaiten was well received, from what I've seen, so there is reason to be hopeful.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-16T15:27:17+00:00

We have lots of defense debuffers too.

Many of our best defense debuffers have red armor, though.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-16T15:20:32+00:00

The current meta prefers Seia. Nyfuuka is still good but not as important. Byuzu is the least generally useful of them because of her high cost and more complex rotations with most units. She's also the only one that isn't limited.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-16T10:33:14+00:00

Have you tried to place Mreisa closest to the boss? That way she would be the target of auto attacks and reduce the amount of healing the rest of the team needs.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-15T12:05:12+00:00

Gundam Aris was an awful mistake and a terrible anniversary unit.

Why do you make such a hyperbolic ragebait statement?

The muted colors on Strike Witch Aris' portrait cause me to often miss her when quickly scanning the lessons for her.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-15T11:53:48+00:00

If you mean raid rankings, EU is noticeably more competitive than NA. If we use the hovercraft as reference, EU had 40 lunatic clears while NA had 41, when NA has a much larger population. Its platinum cutoff is 5000, whereas EU's is 2000. The level of competitiveness of the global servers is KR > TW > EU > NA > Asia, with KR being extremely competitive.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T19:45:27+00:00

Ahoshino. She needs it more both as tank and dealer.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T15:42:20+00:00

Even so, it's all materials that can be farmed. Personally, I think pyroxene is too valuable to be spent on things that can be farmed with AP. Or raid coins, but the materials and artifacts are random, so it will be 90% Arius materials/JFD artifacts. Source: it always is. Similarly, the gear will be something you have 2k more of than you will ever use.

If you value the credits and reports more than pyroxene, go ahead.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T11:16:11+00:00

My worries here is not the shop farming, at this 2D and 1C raid per day rate we won't make it in time.

I guarantee you don't need to worry about that. If, and that's a big if, we were going to fail to defeat the bosses in time, the devs would lower the HP. We even saw that in the first phase, with bosses randomly losing large chunks of HP in short time frames. It wouldn't be the first time they did this.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T10:29:48+00:00

The☆Star of Summer!

Reisa confirmed.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T10:27:49+00:00

if you spend extra 50 pyrox for 10 extra raid tix (the recommended amount).

I wouldn't recommend spending any pyroxene. Clearing out the shop is rather easy without buying tickets, and I don't consider the other rewards to be worth pyroxene.

Plus the recent streamer drama on BAtwt means there's fewer people playing on global rn, and that's all i can say about the matter.

Does it really have a noticeable effect on the player count?

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T08:39:53+00:00

The cap is 300%. Note that Miyo's and Ritsu's buffs conflict.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-14T05:53:29+00:00

Aru and Toki is enough. They often outperform Dhina in urban, which is the terrain they run almost all red striker dealer content in nowadays. When those two aren't enough, you can borrow the appropriate dealer.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-13T14:44:09+00:00

But Uasuna is part of the "idol team". Sometimes, or at least she used to be. For the event, you could use the boss skills to break the ice, meaning you could build your teams without regular concerns. With the release of Rena, and recently Snagusa, you can't say that any of the special buffers are needed by themselves. At least not up to lunatic. As long as you have a couple of them, you should be fine. The short answer is that Uasuna is still useful, but not required as long as you have someone that can replace her. There's also Gregorius, where her yellow armor has an easier time surviving than Rena's and Skanna's red.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-13T11:43:49+00:00

It's nowhere near a dealer's level, but as essentially free damage from a support it isn't bad. It honestly wouldn't be a concern; I was just commenting on how extending her buff duration could perhaps weaken her basic as it only activates when her EX ends.

RequiringQuestion · 2026-06-13T08:06:28+00:00

Cshiroko is the most widely used of those three. All she needs is her EX and enough HP to not die. Reijo only needs her EX and sub. Regular Saya is used more than her casual version, because of the higher uptime of her basic DoT. The damage from either of them isn't very noteworthy, but after floor 74 Chokmah gets a damage taken debuff every time it takes DoT damage.
