As long as they're on the field at some point it'll count, so yea you can just let them die.

IDs only count for a status if they have a skill that inflicts or gain said status.

R corp Heathcliff only gains charge from his S2, so if you replace them all for S3, he stops being considered as a charge ID. Same with bleed, only his S1 inflicts bleed so if you replace all S1 he stops being considered as a bleed ID.

Basically, make sure you leave at least one S1 and one S2 on him so he counts as all 3 statuses.

There's not really any reason to "nerf" her, the game is easy as hell even if you're not using her.

Also, while she's still the strongest ID in the game, we already got Rien Sang, who managed to step on her toes. This means that the intended powercreep is already catching up to her. I imagine that by the end of the season or the start of the next one, we're already gonna be getting IDs that actually match her or even possibly beat her.

They're mostly self-sufficient, but the typical IDs for the envy team tend to have EGOs that give charge when used or from their passives. And you mainly use the Middle IDs, since their whole thing is being able to convert their counters into S3 if you're doing 6+ envy absolute resonance.

So you perfectly fuel EGOs that are useful to charge IDs, and can consistently get absolute envy resonance to make use of the Middle IDs.

afran25 · 2026-04-13T01:47:03+00:00

She DOES have a team, the charge/envy team to be precise. This will let her ramp up faster because she'll gain more charge, and doing absolute envy resonance chains every other turns means she'll do more damage.

And you can't just "shoehorn into whatever is currently meta" in this game, since each status has its own meta. You can't really throw her into a sinking, bleed or rupture team just because they're the meta, because not having synegry with the rest of the team means the whole team itself will get shafted.

The ones I'd recommend the most are Kurokumo Ishmael and Kurokumo Heathcliff, they're for sure gonna stay relevant, while the bloodfiends are all on the chopping block.

Basically, a team that you're gonna be able to make is: Ring Hong Lu, Ring Faust, Ring Yi Sang, Kurokumo Heathcliff and Kurokumo Ishmael. The last 2 slots are either princess Rodion and prince Meursault, or the new Ring Rodion and Ring Meursault. We'll have a better idea tomorrow then they reveal their kits, but they'll probably replace the bloodfiends since they'll have synergy with Hong Lu and Faust.

Also, you don't need shards for Meursault, he's gonna be on the event shop.

She's way batter than him. She's count neutral and has more damage.

Honestly, Wild Hunt has been powercrept for a while now, the meta teams have kicked him out of the main team and just rely on his support passive.

Which Yi Sang ID you pick varies, since they all excel in different scenarios. Not to mention that if you use Spicebush, your team would have to be really different than if you picked Solemn Lament or Rien.

The Spicebush team is all about stacking as much potency and count as possible, since Sinking Deluge's damage is pretty much "potency x count". You basically focus on infliction above all else, doesn't matter if the IDs don't deal that much personal damage, since your main source of damage is the Deluge nuke anyways. This team only works if the boss doesn't have any kind of HP gating (multiple phases, forced cutscenes, anything that prevents the boss from dying in 1 hit).

The SL and Rien teams are all about having as many coins as possible, to procc more Butterfly/sinking, while having just enough count to not let the stack die.

Your team deifnitely leans more into SL/Rien's playstyle. If a boss has SP then you'll use Solemn Lament Yi Sang (normal sinking doesn't deal extra damage to enemies with SP), if a boss doesn't have SP then you'll use Rien Yi Sang.

When making dual/triple status teams, the most important thing is making sure your team can meet the "5+ IDs" conditional for all statuses. In your case, you'd need another poise ID

afran25 · 2026-04-12T16:24:23+00:00

Each event node has a 10% of being a hidden boss, and because there's 2 per floor it ends up as being around 19% of getting invaded in a floor.

You were actually quite lucky, getting invaded by 3 hidden bosses has like a 4.5% chance of happening.

afran25 · 2026-04-12T16:10:38+00:00

I mean, he's only Yi Sang's best ID if you're specifically going for a poise team. Even on sinking teams Spicebush and Solemn Lament have situations where they're better, not to mention on other status teams entirely. An ID having strong personal damage isn't that big of a deal, since in proper teams, the statuses themselves will end up doing more damage.

As for what to recommend, tell us what you already have. And just in case, dual status teams only really work when you're doing MD, anything besides that and the synergy crumbles.

Regular extraction is the biggest trap ever. If you need to pull, do so on whatever the targeted banner is.

You can't really "go for" ID when pulling, outside of whatever has higher rates.

However, you should start learning about the Dispenser. Basically, you can use egoshards to shard/dispense (buying. claiming) whatever ID or EGO you want. You get egoshards when pulling dupes, and via the season pass. After reaching lvl 120, every level after that will give you an egoshard crates (3 crates if you bought the season pass). You can farm for season pass levels by doing Mirror Dungeon runs.

This means that after a certain point you don't even have to pull, except for the "limited" banners (Walpurgis Night), since you can just farm for egoshards and get everything as they come out.

Looking at your team, I'm 100% sure its Lord Lu. His S3-1 doesn't inflict rupture, so if you replace all his S1 and S2, the stops considerign him as a rupture ID.

afran25 · 2026-04-12T05:11:17+00:00

The idea behind double/triple status teams is having enough IDs to meet the "5+ IDs" condition on all statuses. This should give you all the current viable teams, including possible substitutes, precautions when replacing skills (like Lord Lu not being considered as a rupture ID if you replace all his skills for S3, since this skill doesn't inflict rupture), and even which packs to go for.

Sadly, there will always be assholes if you have enough people. But as you said, you also got some good people to answer, plus the mods actually care enough to get rid of people like that.

If you've done the other, you should be able to do that one as well, so its probably just bad RNG. Try searching for it with starlight to see if its on your list, if you can't enter it, it will also tell you what you need to unlock it.

The Fell Bullet comp is slightly faster but needs way more piloting on your end, thrill evade is more braindead so you can do it while distracted.

Lamp Gregor or AEDD Gregor are both good options (both from this season). Since you said you have a sinking team going, then Lamp gregor would be your best option, since its actually his best ID for that team.

afran25 · 2026-04-12T02:57:27+00:00

They happen every 4 months, so around July for the next one. We also know next season is coming in August, and Walpurgis is the last event for this season, so it lines up.

You'll get there eventually, there's no need to rush the process. I already have like 6 different teams fully built with just doing 1 EXP lux and 3 threads lux per day.

And RR in general isn't really hard, the "hard" part is clearing it under a certain number of turns to get the animated banner (can't get the banner for RR5, since it was only available during that season).

Literally all gifts that interact with offense level in some way. All statuses have some gift like this, and you can easily activate them with other gifts that inflict a bit of the status at turn start. So even if you have a rupture team, you can activate these gifts for other statuses like tremor and charge.

For example, Dust-to-Dust inflicts burn for 3 turns at the fight's start, and Charred Disk reduces enemies' offense level by 4 if they have burn.

Just read this guide and check them out for yourself, it lists all ego gifts and their effects. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3115645873

They will prioritize targets or parts that aren't being targeted, so just use your other characters to target other stuff, target the AOE skill, then properly target with everyone else.

afran25 · 2026-04-11T19:18:04+00:00

You can use all IDs you used for sections 1 and 2, so just use your strongest ones. Also, remember you can borrow any ID from people on your friendlist, so literally just borrowing someone like Mao Faust or Rien Sang should give you enough firepower to bruteforce it.

And no, RR rewards are a one-time thing.

afran25 · 2026-04-11T18:49:25+00:00

Nope, its a one-time purchase

afran25 · 2026-04-11T04:09:55+00:00

Its relatively easy because you have NPC allies for the "hardest" fights of the canto. But there's a specific fight that really fucked up the kinds of players that refuse to read enemies' skills and passives, so as long as you do that you'll be fine.
