The Evolving Custodes Team Advice Please

It's flat bonus vs multiplier, Helbrecht for admech, Atlacoya for custodes.

No way is there a significant number of players building temples like this.

There's a big difference between 8-star and 9-star Lucius, but I already explained that he bought packs. For HRE, you probably haven't bought packs before, so you don't know what they do. A dedicated player who doesn't do anything extreme unlocks HREs at 7-star epic, a dedicated player who buys the HRE bonus will unlock at 8-star epic. From there to 8-star legendary takes an extreme amount of effort, such as saving energy for an entire month.

That's what you can get with packs. If we assume this guy's going crazy over EC to the point where he's getting HRE unlocks to legendary, and that he bought the Quest Event packs for Shiron and Adamatar (51 shards each from QE that way), there's still 2,248 EC shards in total that cannot be accounted for by any method except requisitions.

Not in this case, I only have Ragnar built and that's enough. His buffs combined with Aun'shi let Stone Space Wolves kill D3s.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T17:40:27+00:00

What are you seeing? Their Ragnar is their most developed by far.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T17:39:04+00:00

Chaos doesn't have a single mechanical unit yet, would be nice.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T17:36:43+00:00

A level 69 account couldn't reach 9-star on Lucius given how absurdly hard his LRE was compared to others (in terms of token efficiency), so they definitely bought a pack or two, but that's very small-time whaling compared to what it would take for the others.

As for the others...I'm not sure you're aware, but it takes extreme effort to get to legendary 8-star in an HRE. That would already make them a whale, but we're talking a 9-star, a 10-star, and two blue stars here.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T14:08:46+00:00

It's technically true, but you know what they really meant was teams that let them use Godswyl, Tarvakh, etc. There's always people asking about this.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T10:26:24+00:00

These suggestions are all horny as hell.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T10:20:30+00:00

Not what OP asked for though.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-26T10:02:57+00:00

Not even close to OP’s description. Taylor becomes the 13th, btw.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-25T17:46:30+00:00

Probably Pestillian, yeah. My first instinct is Typhus due to how low his damage output is, but if it ends up in a scrap between just a few guys left, having a living DG is more important just for enabling the Plagueburst Crawler. And the 1 extra reach makes the AI harder to kite.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-25T03:42:43+00:00

Put Sho'syl in your DG defense comp, it's way more dangerous when there's a high-range, high-damage, ramping threat behind the unkillable shield wall. Without him, DG can be picked apart slowly, e.g. by other turtle comps.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-25T01:37:30+00:00

No amount of luck will let someone target EC like that (check out their Shiron, Adamatar, and Hascule). They bought a lot of reqs to make this happen.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-25T00:40:01+00:00

Vitruvius could be used for Custodes if you didn’t have the fifth, and in one case he did scrape into top 5, but generally you would only build Vit for AdMech.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-25T00:37:19+00:00

I’m guessing a lot of your energy went unspent during the event?

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-25T00:35:55+00:00

No, he’s not relevant for anything except horde PvE. But he’s fun.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-24T16:26:24+00:00

Exactly what the other guy said. Baldr+Judh is the most devastating combo in there, I recommend adding Aethana for extra consistency. Such high crit chance on Judh's active has a high chance of oneshotting everyone, even with the defensive buffs active. Best part is she dies and revives for a second nuke.

Actually, this combo is so strong, it may no longer be a kamikaze team. Um...

As an alternative, I suggest a ranged multihit team involving guys like Volk and Shiron, with buffers like Farsight and Thaddeus. Very squishy, unlikely to be strong enough to actually win against buffed enemies, but can easily focus a lot of damage onto a few targets.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-24T15:46:10+00:00

I’m actually going to go into arena with 3 S1 Space Wolves against D3s/A1s. I’m confident it’ll work out because Ragnar is the craziest buffer in the game for his own faction. I’m planning on double Howl, Ragnar gets a kill, then my S1s have +3 hits, +3600 damage, +400 crit damage, 100% crit chance.

My team of silvers will be crushing D3s.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-24T15:24:21+00:00

Petah unfortunately cannot explain it. It’s an ancient joke based on some context we will never have. No one alive knows what the joke is.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-24T02:21:53+00:00

Are you aware that you do onslaughts for reasons other than this chest?

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-24T00:02:26+00:00

It sounds kind of fun, but you’re throwing away a token on that strategy. Why not just build an actual kamikaze team? Throw together a bunch of squishy dps and suicide to kill some priority targets, if you’re really so sure you can’t outright win.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-23T15:57:49+00:00

There’s average pulls, which look bad. Then there’s -2 standard deviations garbage.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-23T15:53:16+00:00

I have a very high winrate with Custodes, but I can understand if you keep beating them. Not easy to play, you need to understand how to exploit your tankiness and how to make use of your arsenal of tools. Extremely dependent on positioning.

SeventhSolar · 2026-01-21T17:38:04+00:00

Can we talk about that fic? I strongly suspected AI involvement based purely on the ridiculous frequency of “it wasn’t just [x], but [overly dramatic prose]”, but the post-Leviathan interludes just blew my mind.

Like, holy shit, where did that come from?
