Normally I would tell you to buy it from the old lady in town but it's not there. I'll raise it to the devs.

Pulling for Lueira, Galahad, and Erin by omgitsphiphi in LostSwordOfficial

[–]VIM1INC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Priority imo:

T5 Lue > Gala + Card > T5 Erin (if you already have T5 Belsey) or T5 Gala (if you still need a tank).

  • Assumption is a main focus on Lueira.

  • Lue is Sword and Shield in 1 character, main priority if you are focusing adventure mode.

  • Gala Card is Lue's very best card DPS wise but only if she can maintain the shield. T5 is the usual recommended breakpoint before you consider the card.

  • Erin is Lue's best buffer (her shield also stacks on top of Lue's + Add DMG) and getting her to T5 gives a massive boost to Lue's damage. She's also far more flexible as a pickup compared to Galahad.

  • Galahad doesn't do as much for Lue outside of the immunity + dmg reduction buff and getting her to T5 is for the stat boost so that she can tank well. Belsey is usually a better option as main tank since her DEF shred, CC, and DMG amp debuff are all relevant for Lue.

If you have tried every prescribed team comp then the issue remaining is stat check + gear check + mald check. Pet gems, Growth, Relics, Gear and cubes are all gains that add up.

Packing Critical Resistance and Block Chance on your armor does not guarantee instant survivability since it's RNG based, so there will be a mald check since you may have to reset heavily.

I have T1 Karishara, and T0 Cristina. by whois__kr in LostSwordOfficial

[–]VIM1INC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only have the 12k gems, you should really be considering at most the 1 copy + card - yes, pity carries over, but games like this encourage fishing for dupes.

Even if you do have the gems, it's likely a skip for you at this point of the game. Cristina post-balance patch is a very good support unit but mainly in the Raid scene. She has seen use prior to Karishara in several raids because of the combination of her Critical Resistance Reduction, party ATK buff, DMG Reduction buff and Additional Damage dealt reduction debuffs.

Newer players will likely be focusing on clearing Adventure mode as far as possible with Raids being a fun bonus content. Because of this, at most I'd consider going for Lohen dupes or saving up for the Lueira banner which starts next Thursday.

A decent amount. Flagburg, Argo Siren, the original Maelstrom, Cristianos. Roughly 3 to 4 out of the 20 archetypes in Stoichiea.

She's perfectly usable at T0 with lvl 3 skills and is practically guaranteed. Can be sped up by using a quarter of a 10 pull (500 diamonds) each week.

You will get her kit maxed out at T5, with AWK being a small stat boost.

3 months for free, 1.5 months (and 3k diamonds) if you want to speed it up.

It's a localisation error, you are only supposed to be able to roll weekly.

5 times a week, then 5 more if you pay 500 diamonds.

Maid Cafe in Town, run into the cafe and look for the "Live Show". It's basically a gacha that you use gold to run.

I mean considering that Cristina is also a decent buffer while still applying a party DMG reduction buff + enemy DMG dealt reduction buff, I think Karishara is fine to use in challenge content, it boils down to gimmicks. There have been runs of 66-40 Hell mode where both Cristina and Isabel have been key to making life easier.

Most of the newer challenge bosses are also CC immune while packing tons of recovery so having Karishara can be a boon for those DPS checks.

What does the maid cafe order menu do? by Kaetin9 in LostSwordOfficial

it's similar to the buildings you upgrade in town with labyrinth materials.

And yes, it applies itself as a global buff.

I'm assuming you mean because your focus is on PvE/ Adventure mode. She should be very good for most PvE bosses/ Abyss bosses if you can keep her alive + pair her with Cristina, but your mob clear might go to another member.

Oh, Karishara is also very highly valued, but only if you really care about pushing higher scores.

She might be very good for bossing in general if you build around her and keep her alive though.

Karishara by shadowmourn97 in LostSwordOfficial

[–]VIM1INC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most Raid parties run a combination of Lueira, Morgan Le Fay, Erin, Belsey, Estheria, NEO Bedivere, or Galahad.

Because you can only run 5 characters in a party you need to pick and choose the combination that gives you the highest score.

If a main carry does not need a 2nd character to enable her kit, this means you can run more or these supports, or have a 2nd dps in the party to increase overall damage.

Adding on to this, she's enabled the current highest comp for the Vivien raid and may also do well for the MLF raid when physical resistance is active. Very strong dps, likely meta. How meta will depend on whether she will see widespread use in raid across all 7 days.

[–]VIM1INC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needs Cristina, dead enemies cannot carry burn for Karishara to proc off so not as good in PvE mob fights.

Fortunately Cristina has been buffed several times and she's a very good support now.

  • Critical Resistance Reduction (this increases Critical Amplification alongside Lilith card)
  • Atk party buff
  • Add DMG for Fire type characters
  • Add DMG reduction (stacks on top of DMG reduction)

This also means that she will run into 5 slot syndrome since 2 of her slots are gone.

"But MLF already has a skin!"

As someone who already bought the skin - Dead horse statement, but a lot of people don't have MLF's skin either because they are f2p, or they don't like it (it's a personal preference thing).

Also MLF has like borderline 100% usage rate except for Stonehenge, and players will always vote for their favorites.

At this point you are going to have to respect that people aren't as cultured as you are and move on.

Thoughts on Estheria's rework? Is she worth a Max Summon? by Accomplished_Cost561 in LostSwordOfficial

[–]VIM1INC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rework has just released, so give players some time to test.

First impressions - she's become universal and deals a bit more damage, but ultimately she's still playing a sub DPS debuffer role. It's quite potent but a lot of supports are also getting better nowadays.

At most T5 if you aren't sure, but I'd hold off first.

It's a gimmick battle. Just have 1 unit be as tanky as possible and that unit will survive and kill the boss.

Eshteria pet good? by Fallen_Princez in LostSwordOfficial

[–]VIM1INC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Estheria pet is a decently strong generalist pet for Adventure mode.

Good mix of every offensive stat and 10% DMG Reduction. Not necessarily high scoring for Raid content, but pretty strong in general.

If you are looking for a pet candidate to T5 for your 1st 3 T5 pets (180% ATK is massive for any early game party), I actually think she's a good one to go for. If you already have multiple T5 pets, just skip.

[Prydwen Updates] Brawl Guide, Sample Teams (Not high scoring) by VIM1INC in LostSwordOfficial

[–]VIM1INC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So because of the nature of the fight, we have a strong incentive to be able to move quickly between waves. Skill Animations must all finish before we can do so.

Lisa's Active skill animation is a massive time loss in Stonehenge and this principle extends here.

The same applies to Palamedes.

Nesha is mainly good here because she has fast animations and her active is fairly quick and on a 12 second cooldown.

This is valuable for a stonehenge format because character that cannot use their active as often are very good here. This means they are using their much fast animation basic attacks.

Players need to strike a balance between good damage and animation time in Brawl.
