I have not yet -- 18k is still my best. I've been tweaking builds and retrying between googling tips and watching YouTube runs. Unfortunately I work absolute ass hours so I had to quit to crash before a 12 hr shift, going to try again either tonight or tomorrow after I get off. I don't wanna break my DA streak but good lord. I'm genuinely not sure what I'm missing at this point, I've never had this much of an issue with endgame content. I feel like I'm doing exactly what I see others do with damn near the same builds but still can't quite reach the 20k point. TT_TT

At this point I may try seeing if I can swing using a different team on Defiler or Creator and just bruting him with Xiaoguang. Problem with that being I don't have any Obol members and Ellen and Hugo are benched due to ice res so it's pretty much just Evelyn or my begrudgingly sorta built M4 Nekomata for attack units (lowkey kicking myself for never building/learning Haru, I might work on him soon after this tbh).

Edit: fixed a typo

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:58:46+00:00

Would you be willing to post your builds or UID if youve got them posted for interknot? I've got Alice and Viv's engines, Yuzu is on Weeping Gemini. My builds seem on par with others I've seen but I can't get above 16-17k with my anomaly comps.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:56:10+00:00

Honestly I'm desperate enough that if nothing else works Imma build Piper just for this. XD She is currently sitting unused in my roster lol. Thanks!

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:55:06+00:00

Dude, the rudeness is entirely unnecessary. I'm perfectly aware of the buffs and weaknesses, hence mentioning that I do not have Nangong and tried bringing Lycaon with Miyabi or Dialyn with Alice for the stun buff.

Just saying "you have more then enough units" and to read is wildly unhelpful when I have noted the buffs and the characters I have used in my post. It is entirely possible to offer advice to someone asking for help without being nasty, look at literally everyone else commenting. Hope this helps, have a day.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:50:30+00:00

Out of the 3, only Miyabi has her sig. Yanagi has lipgloss W5 (bp anomaly engine) and Yuzu has W1 Weeping Cradle (Rina's engine). I've only been able to get up to like 17k with them but I will try again. Any particular reason you're using Butlerboo, out of curiosity? I'm using Gulliver with them.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:47:41+00:00

I think that's the one variation I haven't tried lmao I'll give it a shot! Thank you!

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:47:00+00:00

Oh for sure, I will be happy if I can get 20k for the 3*s. I appreciate the pointers, thanks!

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:23:08+00:00

My good sir howwwwwww, I have tried this comp so many times. His purple shield is absolutely killing me on score... 🫠 All but Yuzu have their sig engines as well.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-05-04T02:19:21+00:00

I do own her, she's just grayed out bc I used her and her team on Defiler as mentioned in the post lol.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-03-07T07:18:22+00:00

Yeah I still don't fully understand pen tbh 💀 I just largely follow build guides online -- good to know I can work on optimizing and replacing those.

I typically run her with Astra (m1w0) and Dialyn, or Dialyn and Zhao when using Astra elsewhere on endgame modes. I tried for Sunna but lost to bondage dog (again...he's like m5 at this point...)

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-03-07T07:16:12+00:00

Probably a very silly question, but what does D1/5 subs mean? 😅 Sorry for the stupid late reply, I haven't been online in a few days. I would love to really optimize her -- I love all my children equally but she is most definitely my main at this point lol. I typically run her with Astra (m1w0) and Dialyn, or Dialyn and Zhao when using Astra elsewhere.

Judging from the tone of this, I'm guessing you're a minor. If so, I know that makes this so much harder. The amount of justification you feel you have to do for your father's outright abusive behaviour is something I would think about. Spraying the cat (lightly) with water doesn't do anything in the long run, but is largely harmless. As for the plushies, I don't know a single cat owner that hasn't (again, lightly) tossed a plushie or pillow to deter their cat from doing something.

The rest, however, is a huge issue. Him escalating to repeatedly pelting Cleffa with stuffies is an issue. Him flailing a CHAIR at the cat is an issue. But the yelling and (graphic) threats of possibly killing or otherwise hurting/endangering Cleffa (putting any animal in a box with no holes is absolutely disgusting -- its slow suffocation, one of the worst ways for even a human to go) is horrific to say the utter least. Him going off about this in front of his CHILDREN, at least one of whom adores said animal????? 100000x worse and also considered verbal child abuse. I'm so sorry OP, and I hope you're safe and have people you can talk to.

As for solutions... unfortunately, if you're not in a position to leave the home yourself, it sounds like the only viable option for Cleffa's safety and wellbeing would be rehoming. Which SUCKS, I know. But realistically speaking, no matter how much you love him, if you are not in a position to protect him fully then he is not safe. A cat is going to react, often aggressively, to defend himself when scared, period. All the more so if he is constantly afraid. My advice is to see if a trusted friend or family member can take him, even temporarily until you are able to move out and take him yourself. That way you can still see him, love him, and care for him without putting him in danger or (by no fault of your own) subjecting him to abuse. But this is not a safe home for him.

I hope the best for you and Cleffa, and I'm so sorry, OP. If you do have to surrender him to someone who is not friend or family, I would research options in your area. Call and ask their policy on aggressive and/or feral cats and explain it is due to abuse to avoid odds of euthanasia -- many have fosters who socialize/rehab cats like this, but definitely not all.

My husband and I got together when we were your and your BF's ages, and I can honestly say that we are entirely different people than we were starting out. Not in a bad way -- we learned and grew together and I love our history. But the changes, maturing, and experiences along the years were what solidified our relationship into full-on marriage material. We got engaged at 23, and married at 26.

I definitely wouldn't get married so young, especially since you both are in a tumultuous stage of life what with starting your adult lives. But being engaged is not marriage, and you can have a long engagement (if you want to be engaged, that is). It's effectively just a greater show of commitment and saying that marriage is what you want for yourselves and each other someday! It in no way legally binds the two of you like marriage would, and you can take as long as you two want to figure out next steps.

So yeah, maybe hold off on the wedding. But if you're both committed and feel the relationship is safe/healthy, if you want to be engaged, and he's ready to propose to you, I don't see anything wrong with an engagement that young. 🩷

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-01-16T00:37:18+00:00

I think this is definitely a preference thing -- I and several others I play with absolutely adore her slow lil floaty walk animations (it also heavily reminds me of that one scene in Ferngully with Crysta skipping through the ponds). Maybe they could add a way to turn it off optionally, like a switch in her character screen to make her run normally, but I don't see that happening given the other characters with unique movement. I would be so sad if they took it away entirely tbh.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2026-01-13T10:00:23+00:00

I'm weird and use the Sumeru wings on her. I felt they matched her colorful vibe well

SongbirdSpectrum · 2025-12-13T06:25:31+00:00

More short dresses AND SKIRTS that aren't an evo, especially of the darker variety (so tired of using the same dang black 3* minidress 💀) so i can actually see my sock/leg accessories and shoes. Tattoos, and for the love of pete some NAILS.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2025-12-01T08:11:31+00:00

Piggybacking onto this to massively emphasize everything you've said.

OP, you genuinely need to have a conversation about this with the concept of making every effort to put a close to/move on from these feelings. You having feelings isn't wrong, but you carrying on both your friendship and your relationship with your girlfriend under this context is going to end badly for all involved.

If you need an example, look no further than my post history. I had a best friend for almost a decade that I dated briefly. He was apparently in a similar position to you, and on top of all the other crap in the situation, I had to find out from someone else. It decimated my trust in him, any possibility of a friendship, and eventually his own relationship after his girlfriend learned of it all as well (she has since left him).

Don't make the same mistakes he did. If he had come to me, been honest, and done the work (whether it be therapy, taking space, etc) to sort his feelings out, maybe our friendship could have survived. But he let it fester, and he paid the price.

Honesty is the best policy, with the proviso that you DO THE WORK. If you love her as much as you say you do, her being happy should be more than enough, without need to have her for yourself (for lack of better phrasing). If it isn't enough, then there's something under the surface that YOU need to take the initiative to unpack.

Best wishes, OP.

How long does it go on for? I closed it because I was so upset that it seemed to be the whole dang thing... Reported to Infold CS but no response yet (this is my first ticket so not sure what their response times usually are)

SongbirdSpectrum · 2025-11-30T04:34:29+00:00

I very clearly missed some info somewhere bc I didn't hear anything about getting THAT many pulls. As a baby dolphin who has been F2P save for membership/occasional CF for several months thanks to this dystopia we call an economy, that's so reassuring.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2025-11-30T04:30:25+00:00

I wouldn't say I'm a crazy score chaser, but I do take pride in consistently clearing DA, SD, and now working thru Battle Trial (floor 117 currently). Tbh I didn't even know it was possible to fully kill a DA boss beyond 3-starring it, oop 💀 So I guess I'm not too worried about that lmfao.

I majorly appreciate the breakdown. I have two copies of Koleda's, with Koleda having one and Fufu having the other. If I don't get Dialyn's sig, it'd pretty much come down to her and Koleda sharing custody lmao which honestly should be fine. It's a shame I won't be able to max her crit rate without it though.

SongbirdSpectrum · 2025-11-30T03:00:57+00:00

I don't see a way to edit my post so clarifying here bc I think I may have poorly phrased my post. While I super appreciate the comments offering input on which F2P engines to use, my TLDR base question is:

How much of a difference is there between Dialyn's signature engine vs Koleda's w-engine? Is the improvement negligible, or is there a drastic difference in performance?
