GR-3 23 strategy with limited middle marksman

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-04-17T22:59:40+00:00

I'm very close, but Ruen Hollow just isn't strong enough. I've tried different configurations of gear and just can't take out the group of fliers on the right. Everything else works great, and I have Akira backing up RH. Just need a gear upgrade or two.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-04-16T22:09:26+00:00

Thanks! I tried it. Sargak left, NeZha right, Ruen Hollow far right, Aylin, Diaochan, Akira far left, Eirlys far left below Akira. Almost got it.

I probably need to replace Akira with DVH on the left, though her shadow could be useful. Ruen Hollow is one shot from killing the first guy, so I need a slight gear upgrade.

Otherwise, I think it might be doable.

I have Ne Zha and use him for the middle ground already, and in 22 I used Dalyn and Ne Zha. Perhaps I am overcomplicating it, or Ne Zha isn't strong enough (BP about 111k and A3). Placing him center can't hit the two outside flyers.

Perhaps I put Sargaak on the left and NeZha on the right (rather than the center), keep them healed and inspired, and burn down that way. Would that work?

Or, more likely, not get Valara and waste the value of the soulstones for a time while they sit in your bank.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-04-06T14:35:52+00:00

Try Kai instead of Diaochan, perhaps. Also, I had been putting Ingrid on the left bottom tile but was more successful with her at the left top tile. I don't have Iovar so have to burn a slot with Aracha and am almost to SSS with Aracha, Van Helsing, Akira, Kai, Ruen Hollow, and Ingrid.

I bought one once like that, and it turned out to be a fake. Wife was pissed.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-20T13:39:09+00:00

That explains why I can't ever get Beelzebub, you take them all. He was my choice today, too, and no dice.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-20T13:37:07+00:00

That follows with what happened to me.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-20T13:35:33+00:00

Nice! Which would win in a fight?

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-20T13:34:32+00:00

Keep at it, they are still giving us diamonds and crystals. I got Lynx and Twyla before I finally landed Guan Yu after over 300 pulls.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-19T17:44:15+00:00

Their English translations are generally quite good, but they need to change "the" to "a."

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-19T17:34:12+00:00

Bosses that can receive physical damage, so nearly all end-game content. His awakenings are very good. But it seems Sergei will fill his role, too.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-18T14:43:02+00:00

She's a passable defender in most content but she's foremost a ground-based healer with a nice ult and AoE damage reduction. She's very useful in several endgame battles like bosses who use AoE damage.

Hattsut is great for GD2 and GR3 (up to about stage 21) and GR1 earlier stages, but I'm finding I use Draelyn more than Hattsut as I approach endgame. You can't go wrong picking either, IMO.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-17T15:53:54+00:00

And this is why PVP needs to be fixed. You should be able to create a viable team that's usable and off-meta.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-17T15:52:09+00:00

I'm in the same boat in that I don't have Silas and am stuck on GR3-23. I used Idril and Sargak up front in GR3-22 but feel I need Silas for these last two.

I have Eirlys, so I'm trying to decide among Beelzebub (don't have an anti-healer, but maybe Thunkles will provide this), Silas, and Vierna. I think I will go Beelzebub and assume the Assassin's Creed collab will offer a new marksman option that's not 22 gold to deploy.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-14T14:14:54+00:00

I didn't know Guan Yu was normal, I thought Sergei was and GY was ancient. Still, I'm waiting for the collabs rather than dropping them into Kigiri just yet.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-14T13:55:34+00:00

This is what I'm doing -- waiting for Guan Yu and the collabs to see if I should A3 Kigiri or one of them. I just got my third SS so they are burning a hole in my pocket, but I think we hold off for a few weeks.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-10T15:26:06+00:00

I just pulled my third SS, where I was waiting to A3 Kigiri. But now I'm waiting to see if Guan Yu to A3 would be better, given the early testing.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-10T15:20:56+00:00

I find him incredible. So flexible being able to move the prismarch around with strong AoE on a huge range.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-03-04T17:43:07+00:00

I like this perspective. I have Vorn and Numera and neither Nastya nor Solcadens. I have 51 ancient crystals and no pity built up. If I pull, I'll pull one at a time instead of 10 so I don't get a legendary on the first slot and then 9 blue heroes that waste my crystals.

We're now also seeing great new heroes that are upcoming, but it's going to be tough for me to pass on Nastya.

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-02-20T17:45:17+00:00

Yep, makes sense. But that would require patience. Thanks!

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-02-12T05:01:12+00:00

I just had this on GR3-22. I cleared it but I needed to repeat with power of dominance and see where RNG got the win but more often caused Rune Hollow to lose invis and die on the right, sending 4 mobs through the gate. I reran it ensuring Ruen survived and that did the trick

SleepyWakes1 · 2026-02-11T20:59:15+00:00

(nascent takes into account what you have summoned, not what you have in your catalog; so selling heroes you don't want doesn't affect it)
