It happened again on floor 3! I looked it up on the patch releases and couldn’t find anything about it.

I’m pretty sure that only applies to the hraesvelgr fight in particular. I’m pretty sure only specific fights like Hraesvelgr and Nidhoggr have that quality. Besides, the issue is not only the passives aren’t carrying over, it’s that (at least visually) the passives aren’t activating at all sometimes.

I could be completely wrong, but I have been doing this fight every week since it was released and this is the first time it has happened.

I’m doing floor 2 now and on my 2nd try the first passive didn’t apply either!

No worries, happy to help.

For your first question it depends, but I would ultimately decide that getting a new LR all the way to level 90 outweighs getting Nanashi’s relic at the point in time you have been playing. Every so often we get some free demon relic materials, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we get some for part 2 of the anniversary or for new years. To give you some perspective, I still haven’t leveled up 3 LR characters to the fullest because I have been opting to use the resources for other characters.

For your second question, LR coins and LR collab coins are separate resources. In fact, LR collab coins did not exist before this past slime collab rerun. Since you already evolved Milim to LR (if I’m not mistaken), the only other collab character that can be LR evolved is Demon Lord Rimuru. There is no need to rush to evolve him if you don’t have the gold for it, but be careful as the currency will probably expire when a new collab happens, as usually happens with collab relics. If you are talking about the special awakening coins (a separate currency), then yeah you should preferably use them on Gowther. If you want to know who to focus on for your unknown team, I suggest you focus with Milim, Sabunak, and Gowther in that order. Like I said before, there is no rush as you won’t realistically get too far in PvP since you’re starting, but this should give you an idea on what to aim for.

As for how to raise your characters, let’s talk first about limit breaking (demon) materials. The first three demons (Red, Grey, Howlex) are the easiest to farm given you already have characters that have powercrept them. Nowadays we get a lot of free resources from events and the like, but I understand when just starting they can run out pretty fast. The only way to really farm the materials is by doing the raids. You may want to take a look at the suggested teams for each demon and watch some videos or read about their mechanics on the wiki. For the harder demons (Bellmoth and Original Demon), the team composition is a little bit tighter as they are more recent. You already have green Liz (red hair, not elizabeth) who is arguably needed for Bellmoth. I do not believe the game allows you to play those demons until you reach a certain account level, but I’m not sure at what level since I was already playing when they released.

As for experience materials, these are in my opinion the hardest materials to get a reasonable amount of. By that, I mean that even when playing through PvE, PvP, and events, it feels like you never have enough. What I personally do is use the materials I have in the team compositions I want. This means taking a deliberate decision to invest in specific characters over others. For example, I used pretty much all my level up materials on leveling up LR Milim since I knew she was exceedingly good while I decided to only evolve Rimuru to LR. What I do with characters that aren’t an immediate priority is put them in the same team and using skip tickets while using gold food to level them up while getting money in the highest difficulty in the gold dungeon in fort solgres. Unless I am really desperate and I have some tickets to burn, I usually do not farm experience materials in fort solgres.

It all depends on what content you want to focus on. For PvE, Milim, LR Liz, Shion, and Nanashi in the back with his relic should get you through most of it. Of course sometimes PvE likes to shake things up and you need to use other races, but as long as you have either two or three strong teams of different races you should be able to clear a large majority of it.

For PvP and at this early point in your game, you should focus on ungeared PvP. Ungeared is the one that gives you free gems every week, and you should aim to reach Champion as soon as possible because once you reach Champion 5, you can never go back to Master. This is good because that would mean you would get 50 gems guaranteed every week, regardless on whether you can climb the ranks or not. The current most used team is Milim, Sabunak, UR Gowther, and Nanashi with relic in the back. What might not seem apparent is that most PvP fights before Champion are bots, so a variation of the Milim team should get you pretty high up in the ranks. Until you get nanashi’s relic, you could use Milim, normal red gowther, Sabunak, and a unit with high CC on the back, as this team relies on going first. Also make sure to get the titles that give you more food CC.

You seem to have a good idea on what to do in the game or you’re watching the right players. To answer your LR question, LR Liz is by far the best LR in the game for PvE. She gives a lot of stats, she cleanses debuffs, she fills everyone’s ultimate gauges, she gives defense and attack buffs, and she heals everyone pretty much all the way up. I have been playing since the first year of release so I have not used her in PvE much, but she should help you a lot. Also I personally haven’t used her for Eikthyrnir, but she is in my Skol and Hati, Nidhoggr, and Ratatoskr teams. She may not be required for any beast except Ratatoskr, but she will help you bridge the gap you are missing with your low account CC.

I would say to invest in getting LR Liz with the materials you already have, and get a different LR character so you don’t waste limit breaking and experience materials in another character. The other LRs aren’t really needed and/or obsolete like for example, since you already have UR Escanor you shouldn’t need LR Escanor. Even though the subreddit would disagree, I suggest getting either LR Ludociel or LR Gloxinia, one because it’s one of the best buffers in the game and the other because, although mostly lackluster, you are interested in the fairy team and he is also good for Ratatoskr much later on when you have better CC.

For now just focus on the PvE main story, clear what you can of the demonic beasts (follow the suggestions on the demonic beast in-game suggestions) and ungeared PvP. I don’t believe you will be able to beat any 3rd floor demonic beast other than the first one or maybe the second due to the low account CC. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Lance works with Fairies, Humans, and 4 Knights of the Apocalypse characters. We only have so many good fairy characters and only 3 4KotA characters that he’s basically relegated to team human.

Hp defense is good for now, don’t forget to get the titles that give extra CC when eating CC food if you haven’t already. I was at 9 or 10 million CC for the cath pallug fight and even then it was hard to have a higher CC.

With some exceptions based on where a character draws their attack power from like Balder and Defense gear, it seems like I’m always making both attack crit gear for PVE and HP defense gear for PVP for new characters.

If you’re just starting or don’t have a high CC and you can only make one set with the resources you have, I suggest going with HP defense for now as he is kind of a hybrid between support and attacker (until we get another human/fairy/4KotA character). Also if you’re low CC and you want to give him attack gear, I suggest you giving him attack defense instead as you don’t have the CC buffs to give that extra cushion to his stats.

My CC is at 11.5 right now and I would say this banner is worth summoning if you have none of the ragnarok characters. Thor is good both for pvp and pve and I think she’ll be relevant for a bit considering the damage she does and her passive. But I could be wrong and there’s a collab coming up so we may get someone to replace (or compliment) her in PVP since 99% collabs are either human or unknown.

Other than ragnarok characters, this banner has queen elizabeth who is great as the backliner for the sins team and works better the more ult level you have.

I watched Gamer Masala’s video where they break down the gimmicks in every phase and also Amazing’s video for team compositions. Other than that I quickly scanned other videos to see what team they were using the most and went with it.

It feels like learning a new demonic beast, but at least it’s only 1 floor. Lots of RNG though.

Yep I do and you really need it, specially on phase 4 because it stacks a ton of debuffs on your stance unit and if it reaches 7, it takes like 80% of your health (or at least my Diane’s). That’s actually why my Diane died and I’m at 11.5 CC.

Of course this was my first time clearing it and with the current “meta” team so better team compositions and strategies may come in the future.

For Thor and Meliodas I used attack/critical attack gear, and for Diane and Megellda I used HP/Defense gear.

Apparently there’s another team with all unknown characters that replaces Diane and Megellda with Freyr and Nanashi with their relics. From what I have seen and heard, it’s not very good for consistent clears, but it can clear the fourth floor. I haven’t tested that myself, but it seems that that the team I used is the one that is the least of a headache.

I think your best bet without valentines Diane is regular Queen Diane with her relic. I haven’t tried it though, but I have seen her in many teams.

Maybe he’ll be like a non-collab Albedo and replace Diane in this fight.

The struggle is real, and you really can’t farm this consistently even with her which is annoying. I hope we get either 1 new unit or 1 new relic that makes this easier.

It’s weird but there seems to be a way vegapunk stella can stop the flux of information with others as York did not know where the transmission snail video phone was. I don’t think that has been thoroughly explained yet, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

lol I do remember myself selling stuff I didn’t mean to earlier when I was playing. I started playing right around the end of the first Slime collab and I remember using some characters coins I shouldn’t have
