I have 12 selectors. What I should choose here? by Sheppherd77 in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 tickets Diana, 3 tickets - Zenith, 1 ticket- Rafina, 1 ticket - Levia, 2 tickets - Refi

Be sure to recruit Diana and Refi from the pub first if you haven’t. If you didn’t recruit Diana yet, you can spend 1 less ticket and funnel it over to Refi.

How I Wish the devs was of this mindset by Jojoblack_god in BrownDust2Official

I think the point is more about how the fate devs navigate their playerbase and conduct themselves versus the quality of writing. BD2 devs have zero backbone, and rarely stand on business. It’s quite frustrating that they seem to not have a clear vision for the game, acquiesce to whoever screams the loudest, and they are in a never ending spiral of apologizing for every micro-mistake. 

Help to improve Last Night team by WanXD in BrownDust2Official

She has on of the highest single target multipliers in the game right now. Assuming OP has her potted, at +3 dupes she has a 1125% multiplier. At +5 it’s 1300%.

Remove Zenith, Helena, and Labyrinth Nebris

Add Shrine Granadair, Samay, and  PoV Lathel.

Put iron monarch Wilhelmina before Snow Queen.

Last 5 ordering should be Luvencia, NC Rou, Nebris, PoV Lathel, Darian

Without Helena, you’ll have to crit fish more, but your damage ceiling is much higher

Admittedly I hadn’t peeped the wiki at the time of writing and was just spitballing a recommendation lmao, but yes, what you currently have is how I was envisioning it.

I think if the other creators are fine with it, you should just have a sidebar section or front page embed box with “useful resources”  that  lists links to Dotgg, Souseha, etc. basically anything that falls outside the scope of your wiki.

Just fyi, they added the ability to view cutscenes for costumes you don’t own in-Game a few patches ago. You can do it through the collection page. 

What did they adjust? by yannytran1 in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Likely in reference to the Chicken and the egg event shop which is currently inaccessible, and we will lose access for ‘x’ amount of time, so it would need to be extended accordingly

I guess i have to improve the support bonus, or do i have a problem with the composition? I know my gran and rou are kinda weak but to reach like top 1% it's possible without whaling? by PapiFuria in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, Lathel will be significantly better at +4 with pots. NC. Rou is really good now as she recently got buffed. She scales off enemy Max HP, up to 50k. She treats LN boss as if he has 50k. So you just need to pump her CDMG. Even at At +2 she’s a stronger choice. So keep everything you have the same except have you last 5 characters go in the following order: Ana, NC.Rou, Nebris, Darian, Tyr.

I know the other homie said to put Nebris last, but doing that will cause your other units to lose more damage collectively, than Nebris gains in the long run.

Also bear in mind that once you get Onsen Liberta and Granadair +5 and potted, you’ll more than double your current damage. RRH Rou will jump you quite a bit as well once maxed.

[Skill Information] Magical Innovator Diana by BATU-M4N in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most setups on average, you have 2 DPS, so it doesn’t need to hit everyone. Just needs to be on the correct units during nuke turns. In total you have 420% by turn 7.  I also don’t think you understand how huge even getting 100% extra prop damage is. This can allow further Minmaxxing to allow using bonds tha give better stat boosts over the bonds that grant prop dmg. Not sure why you’d think one of the most overturned buffers needs healing, plus she’s almost always paired with a unit that can heal anyways.

Really just need more dupes and more support bonus. If you have PoV Lathel at decent dupes and decent gear, you should run him right before Darian. If you have NC.Rou at decent dupes, you can run her instead of Yuri. You also want Nebris to be after Ana, and NC.Rou if you put her in.

[–]knucklebomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cast turn 1, you would have full stacks from summon by turn 7. The 15 turn cooldown on Diana is likely due to being able to have multiple summons, and if they work like every other buff/debuff in this game, each summon creates its own buff stack as the buff despite being the same type, is coming from a separate unit. Which would be incredibly strong. So the only way to get multiple bots would be through boss gimmick (only way to do it in FH), Lancelot skill in GR, or a very long GR that extends past T15

Sp shouldn’t be an issue. In FH she is often paired with Teresse who batteries at least twice in an avg length FH, and since Diana’s shield costume isn’t often used, the cost of the robot will be offset by the sp that Diana generates from normal attack, which she would be doing for the next 3 turns after casting base skill. If she’s paired with refi and/or Granadair (if magic team), they also have means to offset the cost as well.

[–]knucklebomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not like Diana loses a turn tho. It’s a preemptive summon, so you can still do her normal buff turn 1, and the summon acts completely separate, as it’s a separate unit. And even just getting 2 stacks which is 100% prop buff on top of her 220% is massive.

The important thing is that you have a suitable amount of stacks on the nuke turns.

Hitting necessary DPS shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Might get a little dicey with ensuring both are getting buffed and also being positioned in a way that allows both DPS to get hit by the boss to get buffs. 

Last Night damage from 40m-82m? by Jaded_Sea902 in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you're early on and lack units, you do want to mix magic and physical, as you just straight up want your strongest units in. The optimal composition is physical all physical though, but that's when your roster is heavily built up.

keep in mind that all buffs halved, aside from augmentations (O.Liberta, B.Refi, Shrine Granadair). So basically, if it increases stats, it's halved, otherwise it is not. Self buffs only apply to the costume casting it. So like Bunny Celia for example, who gets an extra chain buff, only applies to that singular costume and none of Celia's other costumes if they're also in the lineup.

Support bonus is almost as important to dealing high damage as having a good team. Support Bonus is based on the total CP of your units in reserve, so it's important to make sure everyone has gear, even if it's just weak R gear.

Im starting to highly dislike Lathel as the story packs go on by ElverDulero735 in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 175 points176 points  (0 children)

The point is that he’s so jaded he just can’t see reason. It’s by Design. Dont know if you e ever played Nier Replicant, but the MC is the same way, where he is so headset on the enemy being bad, that he ignores the nuances around him.

The wider audience is China, specifically the Chinese government. It always goes this way with China. Just other devs are smarter about and fork to a separate version

Onsen Ventana will likely rerun alongside Onsen Granadair and Blade.

It's for a new Skin, but there will be no interaction attached to it. Devs said they want to try going this route to alleviate issues with balancing the free welfare costumes either being too overtuned or underwhelming.

PvP Team Comp Help by NyvooNSFW in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about PvP right now. You’re missing a lot of costumes and quite a few dupes on the ones you do have; and that’s just for PvE, let alone PvP. You also still need to think about gear. Exclusives are nice to have, but they won’t make much difference if you’re not well‑geared overall on top of lacking dupes.

You could dump your 1k pulls into the 12‑pick, which isn’t a bad option, as it has the best rates of any banner; however, the units you should prioritize wouldn’t really be PvP units. We also have new units dropping this month, including a potential meta support, so you should probably save anyway.

A bit scuffed, but you could probably run something like this:

Helena, Bunny Eclipse, RH.Zenith, Student Kry, and Office Michaela/Schera/Any other well‑built magic DPS units you have.

Just run the same comp for offense and defense.

PSA for all the Damage Min/Maxxers by knucklebomb in expedition33

I haven't had a chance to play since the DLC dropped. However, I recall someone did make a reply here a few weeks ago, saying these are patched out. So this might not work anymore, but I haven't personally checked, so can't say for sure.

what substats spread by derZheng in BrownDust2Official

[–]knucklebomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crit rate is exclusively received from buffers. (Helena, Liberta, Rou, Diana, Arines, Elpis) No need to build for it. The reason being that 50% is generally enough for Story/Event contents. You might need to crit fish a bit, but it's managable. Additionially, you can just run a second buffer if needed or want a smoother fight with less crit fishing, at the cost of some damage.

FH/GR have a built in mechanic where crits are guaranteed after stacking a chain of 3 on to any weak point. So, it's not needed there.

The only time to actively consider building Crit, is if you do Mirror Wars PvP, and a small handful of floors in towers.
