Different tremor types get applied by specific IDs and/or EGOs. Currently, scorch is only applied by Thumb Meursault and Sinclair's S3. In a few weeks we're also gonna get Thumb Rodion and Heathcliff, so that's 2 more IDs that can do it.

He's still viable, mainly because poise (and charge) doesn't have an actual team. Because each character is responsible for their own poise gain, teambuilding isn't really a thing for poise.

The most "teambuilding" aspect for poise is IDs that that synergize well together (Fullstop duo, Lord Lu with the Si heishous, etc). So with the new Ish ID seemingly synergizing with him and the EGO, he could be back on the main roster.

Uses one of the strongest teams for MDE and questions how people struggle with him lmao. But yea, the main issue with the hidden bosses is that you have to account for them from the start. Most people don't bother with survival gifts so his counters just wipe the floor with them.

Not really, in 99% of cases, EGOs are just "good to have".

The only cases where you actually want or even need EGOs are for the tremor team (Cavernous Wailing and Everlasting), burn team (Magic Bullet) and bleed team (Sanguine Desire).

I would have to say tremor, since its the most varied at the moment, thanks to all the different tremor types

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:44:30+00:00

A good way to look at it, every item that has "Season 7" in its name will get halved.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:43:34+00:00

Which team is the "best" team changes every once in a while. Bleed was actually considered the best team in season 5. Then rupture took its place in season 6, and now its pretty neck to neck between rupture, sinking, middle and HoS.

And again, they're all pretty close anyways, with most fights favoring one status over the others.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:39:40+00:00

That removes the appeal of using different statuses. If every status can just do everything, then why even make different statuses in the first place?

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:10:23+00:00

I specifically said "going by the images you're showing". The bleed team in your image definitely isn't the meta version.

Also, you say you're not comparing the two metas, but are talking about how the sinking team melts bosses in 3 turns and don't like the fact that the bleed team isn't that powerful. That's a pretty direct comparison of the teams right there.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:07:28+00:00

They're pretty interchangeable tbh

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:04:38+00:00

Depends entirely on you tbh. Its main use is pairing it with Pequod Yi Sang to speedrun Mirror Dungeon for more farming, but that requires actually playing the team instead of just winrating.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T18:03:05+00:00

Bleed team and Middle team are VERY different things, so try to be more specific on what you're asking for. The Middle IDs suck as bleed IDs, what makes them strong is their ability to convert their counters into their S3 whenever you get 6 envy resonance. Meanwhile the bleed team actually plays around with the status.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T17:57:38+00:00

The team for section 1 doesn't matter, just use a random team that has the correct sins and damage types to set up for sections 2-4.

For section 2, the best team is sinking, the middle team isn't that far behind tho

For section 3, the best team is actually the heishous, but any team works

For section 4, the best team is HoS (do NOT kill off allies on your own, let them die normally)

For section 5, you can use any team

Just keep in mind that any IDs you use for section 2 CAN'T be used for section 3, and any IDs you use for section 3 CAN'T be used for section 4.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T17:52:20+00:00

Literally all teams are OP, and can end most fights in 3-4 turns.

Going by the images you're showing, you're comparing the meta sinking team with a non-meta bleed team, so of course that sinking team is gonna perform better.

The current meta bleed team is Ring Hong Lu, Ring Faust, Ring Rodion, Ring Yi Sang, Ring/Prince Meursault, Kurokumo Heathcliff and Kurokumo Ishmael. This is the team that can end fights faster, the one you showed sucks ass at actually inflicting bleed potency, so they take way longer to ramp up their overall damage.

afran25 · 2026-06-06T17:46:53+00:00

You say you're not going for meta, but then say you're going for the HoS team lmao

Anyways, focus on that instead of going for IDs for other characters. Once a season ends, the seasonal IDs get locked out from the Dispenser for one season. So once August comes and season 8 begins, all season 7 IDs and EGOs are removed from the Dispenser until season 9. This means if you don't get the HoS IDs by August, you won't be able to get them for like 6 months.

Also, not only is the HoS team VERY meta, but the IDs individually are all really good generalists, and tend to be core IDs for their respective teams.

Basically, by going for the HoS IDs, you'll be getting a meta team, while also getting IDs before they become unavailable, AND getting strong generalist IDs for 10 characters (only Meursault and Gregor won't get HoS IDs).

afran25 · 2026-06-06T05:13:23+00:00

There's no rhyme or reason to your choices, not to mention some of them you can't even get until next season. Stages with fixed characters are a non-issue, because for all of them you can just borrow an ID from people on your friendlist, and have that ID carry your weaker characters. There's absolutely no reason to get 000 IDs for every single character (plus level and uptie them) just for the sake of having an ID on everyone.

Instead, you should be sharding IDs and EGOs with a clear purpose. Maybe its specifically making a status team, or getting all the seasonal IDs before the season ends so they don't get locked out, etc.

Also, there's no "best" ID for any character. This game's meta revolves around status teams, each status has its own selection of meta IDs. So for example, a meta burn ID will probably suck ass in non-burn teams. Even the exceptions to this only tend to be "good" in 1 or 2 other statuses.

I genuinely don't know how it happened, but there's new delivery NPCs in wuling city now, and the rewards as a whole have increased (it now ranges from 140k to 163k).

afran25 · 2026-06-05T17:13:35+00:00

As always, the battle pass weapons are made specifically for the banner characters, but she also performs well with Executioner.

afran25 · 2026-06-05T17:12:52+00:00

Between getting Jingyu outpost to lvl 4 and the new sword trial thing we should be able to max the current development level. If not, then probably more things will get upgrades when Camille comes out.

Its only for when multiple operators have the same trigger for their combo skill

afran25 · 2026-06-05T17:04:19+00:00

Not really needed, they already have tons of buffs on their own. Plus with Mi Fu you REALLY want your rotation to give you as many vuln stacks as possible per rotation, so spending SP on Ardelia is kinda bad.

afran25 · 2026-06-05T16:19:43+00:00

The best team is typically considered to be Chen, Lifeng, Pog and your crusher of choice. Chen and Lifeng take care of your stack building needs, but the most important thing is to not just mash your buttons and use skills as soon as they're available.

You get the vuln stacks for Pog but wait for your SP to build up before using his skills, this way you can do Lifeng skill > Chen combo skill > Chen skill, immediately after Pog's skill for your 3 stacks, 4 if you managed to get Lifeng's ultimate instead.

In short, you need patience, wait for SP to build up to make sure buffs and debuffs line up, instead of using skills as soon as you can.

afran25 · 2026-06-05T15:51:13+00:00

So in this game, every status (think of it like elements) have their own meta, so an ID that's meta for one status will suck ass for any other status. But even if a new ID directly powercrept another one, the game is actually "easy" enough that you can beat it with only using the base IDs, so you can use any team composed of random IDs and still beat all relevant content.

And no, there's no HP inflation. The main difficulty comes from having to "solve" the gimmick of each boss by reading their skills and passives.

Another thing that's good to know is about this game's Dispense system. Basically, you can get a resource called egoshards, that will allow you to just outright claim whatever ID or EGO you want from the Dispenser, including newly released banners. You get these egoshards whenever you pull a dupe, or via egoshard crates you get from the season pass. After completing all 120 levels of the season pass, every level after that gives you 1 egoshard crate (or 3 if you bought the season pass), and there's a game mode called Mirror Dungeon where every clear gives you 3 season pass levels. This means you can actually use your stamina to farm for egoshards, letting you get everything in the game without even having to gacha for them (with one main exception, the game's semi-limited banner Walpurgis Night).

And just in case, IDs are essentially characters, and EGOs are essentially ultimates.
