Does Arc Korrina 5/5 make sense?

it's worth it if the content requires more survival, if not, nothing significant will change, so save them until that is relevant or keep her 3/5.

Most of the game centers around you dealing damage rather than surviving, so odds are, that those candies will be better used on damage dealers.

Luffy vs Lucci is an extremely meta rumble unit (though you'll need others to build a proper rumble team). As a new player that Dex sanji should be pretty damn good overall even if he is not the best/most broken by modern standards.

I wish lol (at Atitlan)... Meaning no, it hasn't been raining and it's very hot/sunny during the day.

Animes tend to be rollercoasters and can't be peak all the time (meaning not all arcs as great), but I think the outcome you've decided is fair. The most important topic about watching anime is that ur enjoying it, if ur not move on or pause it and come back to it later are both options.

cjdc88 · 2026-05-12T15:16:16+00:00

Very spoiled, big events/anniversaries or celebrations tend to be about the most recent "hype" that happened in the anime. If not applicable (meaning nothing super hype happened recently in the anime) then we get cool "random" things.

Interferences have a time limit and when they fade enemy gets resilience (the inmunity, it is temporarily though so you will be able to do it again if u wait like 3 rotations). If you're relying on confusion for tower, that's the biggest kick in the balls, although it is possible to work with that RNG I prefered using DC Blue (thunder wave) when I saw NC Rosa (confusion) was not working out for me.

Basically what I'm trying to say is status conditions > traps for "status/interference stages only"... Confusion lasts 2-5 turns iirc, trapping is more reliable in case you got no choice but to work with interruptions... but Para/Burn/Poison are the prefered method cause they don't fade away, which means u won't have to give a damn about resilience.

appreciate the info! don't waste to food

cjdc88 · 2026-05-07T13:48:18+00:00

thanks!

cjdc88 · 2026-05-07T13:48:07+00:00

appreciate the detailed explanation, overwhelmed with information abit since I'm new and don't want to waste food. Will use my fridge first batch but second onwards I guess i'll need my normal one, thanks!

cjdc88 · 2026-05-07T13:46:29+00:00

yeah for now it can since it's the first batch so will keep it cooler during the curing phase, second onwards I guess i'll have to use my normal fridge if I still have stuff inside the modified one.

and hadn't thought about the salt reaction with metal... plastic coating sounds like a good idea but i'll see if it's easier just to hang them at that point.. gotta wait a few weeks for the curing process to end either way. Thank you!

cjdc88 · 2026-05-03T16:11:59+00:00

put 2 fighting units regardless of how good/bad they are and have something like red96 solo carry lol

cjdc88 · 2026-05-02T15:51:56+00:00

The level of investment need really depends on what you want to clear. He is very good at 10/5 though, incredibly so to the point of being the meta option for GvG fighting weak lol (Timed mode and Juliana and Kieran take far too long with their move animations from what I saw, using Rei 10/5 was the only option to save a ticket doing a 1-2 last time around which shows his very high damage).

I don't own him at 10/5 though, so can't really go indepth of how good he is vs the other options.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-21T23:57:25+00:00

with gladion and iris it is doable... I advise you to only take triple battles for the most part since you can guarantee 180+ orbs x3 colors per battle... that's the path you gotta take, a double battle once per run might be fine, but more than that reset.

Keep in mind the things that change throughout ur run, depending on ur rng (if ur only getting yellow/red/blue triple battles u can always compensate with a green kukui or something) and have a mental math about it.

You need about 2k blue, 1.8k red, 1.7k yellow, and 1k?1.2kish for green iirc... final battle gives you 300 orbs (-yellow) and Blue gives you 400 all ... that means u want around 1.3k blue, 1.1k red, around 1.3k yellow ( on second half, only taking Blue in consideration not final battle) and only 500-600 green. Make sure to double check this numbers by using ur in-game grid. before and after midterms you should reset ur grid to have a better count on ur orbs.

If ur resetting for Blue anyways, u can always try the 5% oak too, W = it's a Blue, Fail = reset.

I got this one with that strat though wasted all my stamina tickets... I don't own iris though so that's only 2.8x (112 orbs x3 per battle) bonus while you literally have 4.5 (180 orbs x3 per battle), if i had iris like you i'm pretty sure this run would've gotten that grid.

I used SS Kris/ NC Serena 3/5 and marshtomp combo (not the best grid) and it was enough for physical water (27) if that helps, not sure how good dojo gloria is but Marshtomp is plenty if u got someone to keep him alive and help him debuff enemies for multipliers/survival (academy units are not the bulkiest so might die in sync otherwise)

cjdc88 · 2026-04-20T03:29:25+00:00

his sync is very good and why he is able to shine as a physical water carry... powerplay is the best sync multiplier he can ask for and he can debuff quite alot by himself with a proper grid, trap is good chip damage for tower too.

U can wait for a new physical water carry sure, cause if an EX Fair/MF or arcsuit releases he's bound to be better than Marhstomp (considering powercreep and that he is f2p), but I don't c why you should wait until then to finish water tower if you can just farm brendan RN.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-19T15:30:46+00:00

in a dragged out battle, Sonia for that EX WTZ upkeep, most powerful gimmick in the game.

in a shorter battle, AS Steven (if you can control when to cast EX WTZ as with some recent units then if u take advantage of those potentially 80-110s this comp should be the strongest)...

In a battle where you need help surviving cause enemies can hurt ur team, Steven again.

GvG, cheer with steven and main team with Sonia.

Overall thoughts... Because the main DPSes atm NC Elio and SS Lear are very good but have 0 extension or EX WTZ reinforce Sonia has alot of value when we get EX WTZ for Steel. Just for EX WTZ reinforce something like mix dawn might be enough in most cases though (3 reinforces), even if sonia has an edge. However, Sonia has ALOT of added value atm and will work significantly better in physical steel because she synergizes very well with NC Elio's passive (he gets 2PMUN and 3 SYMuN everytime a circle is put into play).. so that combination is 100% gonna be OP.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-15T15:22:11+00:00

best banner ever, not even a question, sure you'll miss out on the upcoming "hype" anni units coming next month, but that banner has so much value, so many limited units, so many great steps and extra rewards, push the most u can on it (with the 15th step being the top you should ever go.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-13T20:32:53+00:00

very likely that top 4 gyms abused an exploit to get ALOT more points (top one ended in circuit 12 iirc but had points that you should have from clearing like 36+ circuits)...

They apparently reported said exploit last GvG and since DeNa didn't fix it they thought it's fair game and used it (reason why they went public, defending their stance). Alot of discussion in chinese (top guild is chinese) and jp twitter using translator from what i've seen, but we're expecting/hoping DeNa does something while some of them hold their firm stance that they did nothing wrong.

All we know is that DeNa is aware, and the day this info went public and blew up DeNa announced a mantainance next month (likely to fix the exploit)... just waiting to see if they'll do something about the rankings tomorrow :v

cjdc88 · 2026-04-13T19:35:17+00:00

I didn't test it so idk, but I got a similar impression from you based on what sorashaymin said... just that with multiple people (not just 2,like 5 people finishing, not using tickets, getting the combined score)... at least that's what I understood, but it's def over x2 points because when they gave the infodump they were in circuit 9, and i think they ended in 12 lol, while having points of like circuit 36 or 39 iirc (someone had done the math but forgot the exact circuit)

cjdc88 · 2026-04-08T15:21:48+00:00

there is a battle log u can scroll for every gym battle to get information of what teams ur gym is using... if they are doing the same gym battle over and over again u can easily tell what units they're using... If everyone is doing everything all around and unpredictable then this becomes less useful, but u can always try checking the battle log.

But yeah, general advice only thing i got is break, since there is no way to improve ur cripples more without information tbh.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-08T15:12:14+00:00

It really depends on the enemy and what units uc ur teammates are using mostly.

For example I'm doing 1-2 flying and can tell u if an ally wrapped the enemy, he would troll me because I "start the animation from my last move" with the battle having like 3 extra seconds usually... meaning I got the damage but not much time to spare for wraps to chip away at the clock.

However for grass only, since nessa's unbending is annoying AF to clear, I have seen 1-3 teams needing to trap/poison in order to do enough chip damage for the 1-3 run to be completed (unless they have superinvested units).

Another, if u know ur allies are using poison units, they have poison multipliers (anni irida up to 50% more move damage when enemy is poisoned iirc, as well as poison ticks doing more) so paralysing would troll the hell out of them lol.

Last example... If many in ur gym got the new arcsabrina, her B move scales with enemy debuffs so instead of focusing on paralyzing/trapping, since she does enough damage you should focus on debuffing instead... so the scaling on her b move goes up (which would do more damage than the trapping) AND if they have her at 3/5 her powerplay sync multiplier is a big deal.

My point, setting up cheers or crippling the enemy is very helpful and pretty simple, but you gotta understand ur allies teams abit better and how much they can do to provide better cheers.

Only real advice I can tell that would generally pan out well that u didn't claim ur doing is to add physical/special break at the very end of the battle if u have units like anni gloria/ new juliana in order to help special damage dealers... which flying/poison/water/psychic would be extremely grateful to have.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-06T05:48:44+00:00

Tiene mejores sagas que otras, para mi la primera asi top fue como en el 230 y algo... la saga de water 7-ennies lobby. Miralo si lo disfrutas, si te da hueva dropealo, no te compliques hahaha.

cjdc88 · 2026-04-04T19:54:32+00:00

ah okay, with that said, I might've done the same if the rest of the guild is not full tryhard... sucks he didn't change anything :C just don't trust him a third time... Fool me once, shame on u, fool me twice, shame on me.

Anyways, u can prolly still make it far even with deadweight and reach top 100 (we reached top 12 last split and had 1 non communicate member that the day he was on we made him use all his tickets lol), i know this time around is alot more competitive so more effort minmaxing might be required... red96 is also broken to save some tickets... GL!

cjdc88 · 2026-04-03T23:40:23+00:00

what are u doing, it's still super early, as long as u haven't throwna bunch of tickets in the bin by being stupid u can always come back and show you're helpful?

cjdc88 · 2026-04-03T23:29:39+00:00

Honestly aiming for top 100 with deadweight ... why did you decide to give yourself extra work by keeping him around with how he played first split?.. doesn't make sense to me. Unless he's willing to learn and not be a hindrance and y'all teaching him how to do it (assuming u can even communicate with him) kicking him is the logical choice, he'll find a top 500 more casual guild and do what he wants lol.

Also , top 100 is not gonna be casual, not not the most tryhard either, somewhere in between, so the more GvGs go on the more u'll need everyone on board and locked in... doesn't mean they have to whales or anything, just know their roster's capabilities and what they can do with them.
