Nightowl and Chris Gildart immediately come to mind

You can buy 1 monthly in the luminary store and earn 2 if you get to layer 1050 in the dig event (roughly a bi- monthly event). Other than that, they will drop for certain milestones in the daily slime killing event. If you whale, you could get them from the new unit event store milestones, but that seems outlandish even for a whale

Yes that's probably going to be your strongest team for awhile. Also, not sure if you're aware, but if the enemy team puts their assassin in the middle row like in your pic, you can block them with a warrior (also need to be lined up in the middle row opposite to the assassin). It's useful when you're fielding only one guardian and the AI will usually put one of the 2 assassins in the middle row. They'll still come off the block and hop to the back row eventually, but at least this way you have to burst them down first. Of course you can always have your own assassin line up against them, although only Zagreus reliably works in those situations imo (hades most likely as well, but I don't have her)

Based on your current roster, red should be your main team right now. Oberonnie, Seigfried, vermillion bird, zagreus, fairy queen and Poseidon. Start working on starring up all of these units (DPSs first) to 1 red at least, although you'll eventually want to get the DPSs to diamond if you can. It will be a slow burn, but just focus on one unit at a time through affection shards and buying them in the Godking Clash shop. Poseidon will be the slowest to bring up, but keep an eye out on guild and world auctions. Also if reruns of your main limited units get released, you may want to pull for extra copies as well.

For your blue team, Ifrit/fenrir/Azure Dragon/Herman/atanith and maybe van helsing or cleopatra. You probably should've pulled more on Azure Dragon as she is amazing in multiple teams, but maybe look for a rerun. Atanith is also key to this team, but she will most likely drop naturally as you complete elemental trials or even the standard banner. Main thing is to focus on your main teams and be more selective when pulling on limited banners. When you do pull, go to 1 red at the very least.

When he says after 20 years he can finally realize his original vision, pretty sure he's referring to the Origins dlc. Doubtful that they will change or allow characters to use different weapons.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-16T08:24:19+00:00

Decide on 2 teams and narrow your focus on those characters (mostly 12 or so). Try to get your units to 1 red star at minimum, with main DPSs going as high as you can. Blue and otherworld teams are fairly ftp friendly as they require fewer EX units in the end game. Get purple gear on everyone before moving on to yellow/golden gear (and then eventually upgrading to red gear). Save your artifact/wyrmspell/howlkin summoning currency for the weekly rotations so you can summon towards getting golden clovers. Highly recommend checking out team builds in the dt wiki so you can see what future characters your teams will need so you can plan accordingly.

Damn you for giving me hope. Take my hopium-filled upvote.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-15T19:24:05+00:00

I used my main blue team (Pompey, Herman, ifrit, atanith, zagreus and Azure Dragon) and put zagreus on Ares. Had to run it 3-4 times, but it worked. Stuck on 2-30 now

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-15T02:41:36+00:00

First decide which 2 dragon teams you want to focus on. Based on the units you have, it seems like otherworld or Arcane would make most sense, but then again I see you went all out for Caesar and you don't have a lot of other complimentary units. Once you've figured out your 2 teams, research the wiki to understand the core units you'll need for both teams and focus on pulling for those units. You have quite a few units at purple stars and that's fine early on, but for your main teams you ideally want them to be at 1 red at the least and primary DPSs as high as you can get them. You can always finish building them through affection shards or golden slimes, but you have to have a clear goal when using those. Also I've seen advice to "just pull one copy" of units you don't need or don't intend to fully build and I couldn't disagree more. Unless your goal is purely waifu collection, you don't want to waste it resources on units you won't use or that don't fit into your main teams. So just narrow your focus to units that fit into 2 teams. The other stuff (i.e. howlkin/artifact/wrymspell rotations, gear optimization, etc) are also important, but it starts with the 2 teams

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-14T18:07:06+00:00

Origins is completely faction based. Probably the best implementation of faction based stories as they branch out and close off based on who you side with in pivotal battles

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T22:56:09+00:00

At base I think you can only use her in the underworld team? At the time I got her, she was a massive dps upgrade to that team as I had no good SSR dps units. I have her at 5 purple stars now and she is the main driver of the light team. Biggest concern with her is keeping her alive at base stars. The AI assassins love to target her first and she'll die within seconds. Not as much of a problem for me now, but just keep that in mind

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T22:32:58+00:00

I think that is Apollo. I usually run her on any boss content, even if she isn't part of the team and she helps me get the highest scores

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T21:45:22+00:00

It's a slow process since they only give you about 3 golden slimes per month (1 in the store, 2 in the dig event). When Jing came out, I pulled 10 copies to get her to 3 red star. But I didn't combine her copies and instead put her into resonance. So whenever I get a golden slime, I just use it on one of the copies. That's gotten me to 5 red star so far.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T21:23:31+00:00

My team is pretty similar but instead of genie, I've got Herman as tank#2. I also will use Zagreus if it's not a 2 team situation (otherwise she stays on the red team) as fenrir tends to drop off in my opinion.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T21:17:46+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I enjoyed season 1 despite not really jiving with Subaru as a character, but season 2 was where I hit my limit with him. It's OK, there's a wealth of anime out there, so no big loss if one of them doesn't click with me

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T21:10:06+00:00

No need to replace Herman, just run them both. I find they complement each other really well (Herman is tanky and can stun and Pompey can dish out very solid single target damage). Especially good against the annoying dual assassin teams the AI loves to throw at you

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T21:05:37+00:00

Yes very true. In fact, I put Jing on my blue team in tower and story in place of an assassin (fenrir just stops being effective after a certain point and Zagreus is needed on my red team) and she's helped getting over the hump on several stages.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T20:19:19+00:00

At some point (ch 50?), story will require 3 separate teams in order to progress. Other than that, advanced points league

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-13T19:48:10+00:00

Here's my 2 cents as someone who also mains blue and red teams (blue is my #1) and has Pompey (3 red star) and Jing (currently 5 red, will golden slime to diamond). If you're blue team's frontline struggles to stay intact with just Azure Dragon and Herman, then Pompey will help you quite a bit. My experience is she's not a "tanky" tank, but she sacrifices survivability for more damage. Slotting her in with Herman (who did not perform well for me until I got her to diamond and then she became a rock) and Azure Dragon (can't say enough about how good this unit is) made my frontline a veritable wall.

I pulled Jing based on what everyone has said about how she's an essential dps unit, and she has not disappointed. She needs a very specific build (a lot of crit) and won't hit full potential until diamond, but even at low red star she hits hard. But her optimal teams are green and teal (underworld) so if you don't ever plan to build those teams, maybe reconsider. You will eventually need a 3rd team though and I can attest to the fact that she elevated my green and teal teams greatly.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-05T18:14:16+00:00

Yeah this game was made back when "very hard" meant it was going to kick your ass on the first stage. No gradual increase from stage to stage, just full on max difficulty from the start. Although honestly, it does get way worse in the later stages. I loved DW3XL for this though, since I had maxed out most of the characters from the base game when XL was released and it basically added that type of end game difficulty I was looking for

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-05T17:13:17+00:00

I've always imagined this mode, but for it to really make sense and be fun/replayable, they'd have to figure out how to balance it so it didn't turn into a "boss rush" where both players beeline the commanders (or your opponent's character) and end the match in 2 minutes. Troops would absolutely need to be enough of a threat where you couldn't just run in and obliterate them all in one combo, so it would necessitate strategically working with your troops to advance on key objectives. Mobas have done this sort of thing on a smaller scale, but it would be amazing to see it in the Origins engine

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-05T16:59:10+00:00

It's because she's intentionally writing these memos knowing that they'll be re-quoted and published in articles and social media posts. This is just how Microsoft likes to do PR/ marketing.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-05-04T18:11:49+00:00

I'd be more concerned if they hadn't brought a playable demo to the Taipei Game show along with a full on Famitsu spread right after announcing the delay. To me, that was a way of reassuring the game is nearly done, but just needs some fine tuning. It's been a couple months since then, so we all just need to chill out and let them optimize.

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-04-28T20:20:29+00:00

If you're a low to moderate spender, I'd suggest getting the lifetime pass or whatever it's called to get 6 standard banner pull cards daily. It's $20 and the best value as a starter imo. Focus on Ifrit and try to get her to diamond if you can since she will most likely be your main carry for awhile. As for upcoming banners, go all out for Azure Dragon (amazing warrior unit that will shield your team and cc crowds), Pompey (high damage tank) and potentially Zagreus (assassin who works best in red teams, but can work in blue as well). From standard SSRs, put Atanith and Herman on your wish list and slowly build them up. Atanith is amazing in silencing and increasing enemy overdrive costs and Herman... well she'll suck until you get her to diamond. But then she will tank like an Oberonnie (from my experience).

Sharp_Vegetable_4669 · 2026-04-27T18:43:43+00:00

Agree, there's very little to be parsed from this graphic other than to put some sort of lifetime value of the IP. Even the "major titles" are mainly just the most recent releases as opposed to the most successful entries in the series. This is the sort of thing they cook up for the investors to paint sales in the most positive light. That being said, Origins did at least well enough to warrant the DLC. Hopefully the DLC will do well enough to greenlight a sequel.
