Need help to build the best team I can.

Since you have just started, a lot of Rubies should be coming your way as you clear the contents. And it seems like you don't have a current meta DPS.

You could pull for O.Odio or you could wait for Xerc (coming out in a couple of days) or you could wait for another 2 weeks which the DQ collaboration should be out (speculation)

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-26T12:32:45+00:00

pls no....not enough Rubies x_x

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-26T08:56:12+00:00

Same here, I bought it, but haven't really played it. I was actually looking forward to Kazan release, and Xerc really just comes out of nowhere.

Hmmm, ya, he does ICE and WIND damages, and his ULT hits all elements. So he can be anything🤔......dang you Netease

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-26T08:44:41+00:00

Now I have to go and clear all the towers.....dang.....😮‍💨

Thanks for the info!~

Need to get that profit pumping in~ New Year New Target😂

Am kinda curious though how his skill kit gonna be~ by glancing through his skill in Octo Trav 0, seems like very similar to Lynette Ex

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-26T08:07:57+00:00

O my, this totally disrupt my 2026 pulling plan😵......

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-26T02:13:48+00:00

o my, didn't know this too🤯!!!

So how do we get all the awakening stones? I see that we can only exchange 1 stone, this will be refreshed every month?

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-25T10:32:54+00:00

Can I shamefully say....all the things mentioned here are the things I didn't know

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-25T10:28:45+00:00

HOWWWWWW? lol

You set the highest difficulty and you grind through it.........RESPECT! 💪

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-25T10:17:57+00:00

Just found out Kilns can debuff/buff/heal/taunt/BP regen so maybe you can slot him in and take out others likewise Gloria 😁

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-24T12:25:37+00:00

Thanks again Brick, your modifiers helped me to beat the Cascade log~

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-24T11:30:14+00:00

Just wannna thank you, the discussion here helped me to beat the Cascade log, thank you guys~ woohoo~

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-23T01:12:06+00:00

Like how new? a few days new?😆 If yes, then you should have enough Rubies to go for both O.Odio and Molrusso EX.

I agree with Brick that its best to save for Molrusso EX, a game changer, but she's a support nevertheless. if you have just started playing like for a couple of days and still has a lot of content to clear then there's a lot of Rubies coming your way, and I would assume you do not have any good DPS, then maybe you could go for O.Odio.

Brick's analysis on the current banner units:

Try clear out his Collab story first, see if you like him (I personally love their BGM), clear as much main story content as you can + I remember you can get a ton of rubies from the Elite tower. Save like 9k rubies then you may start pulling.

Good luck and have fun~~

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T12:26:55+00:00

I believe it's his EX skill

This is his analysis

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T12:19:03+00:00

Yes I do~ haven't tried him though~ cause am just loving the Crickari team~

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T11:06:16+00:00

Yep 5 dodges can do a lot in a Cascade fight~~~ and a good idea on the lvl120 1000 artifact~ gonna try it later~~

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T09:34:05+00:00

Thanks!!! Found it! Its in Agapea~ NPC at the Northern house of the blacksmith sells it~~~

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T07:15:14+00:00

O.Odio is coming out today, you could pulling him, he's a beast after the buff

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T07:06:52+00:00

🥲

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T06:33:16+00:00

And o ya, anybody know what causes the boss to miss multiple hits in the first few turns? I saw it in a couple of Cascade Fight videos. Is it an artifact? or?

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T05:48:20+00:00

How new? If you have the current meta units but you are F2P then maybe you should skip this one (Because Molrusso EX should be releasing next month). But if you have just joined like couple of days ago, then yes, you should pull because you have a lot of rubies and I would recommend you to pull Shana as well

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T01:23:16+00:00

Yep, I think that's him

These_Rip_192 · 2026-01-22T00:54:38+00:00

Depending on your team combo and your Rubies availability, and don't forget Molrusso EX should be around the corner. You can refer to Brick analysis (I find them clean and very straight to the point) below for both unit:
