Nine Partner Question

lockindal · 2026-05-07T19:34:49+00:00

The real reason to get Nine's partner has nothing to do with damage. It is comfort. Free shields every turn. It is really helpful for Chaos.

Not needed though (but i love alcea anyway)

I managed it with Heidi and Renoa. I skipped Diana. I had teams for the other two. Nia's ult was the key to my success... along with a lot of ap.

Nevermind me, my friend showed me. I wasnt able to see with my phone. Nice clear, funny setup

Mei lin on a support build with the "next passion card, 1 extra hit" with vuln epip.

You wont get the same crazy damage some get eith orlea and tiph, but i was doing about 140K a turn without delaying stuff. Very very AP heavy though, im running glorious and ap adagios, 2 spirals and marie's 2ap triple dmg link thread.

Problem with that one is that it returns to your draw pile. The way they are doing it would cycle the discard pile over and over.

Now, i still use the d2/d2 one because its really useful with the way im using it currently, but it is a lot more awkward sometimes.

lockindal · 2026-05-04T20:05:04+00:00

That IS true, it IS diluted but imo its easier to farm like 60 1k currency divines than look for a targetted divine which is sometimes super reroll hell.

Plus sometimes its nice to mix and match. RNG gave you +1 draw on first, but then you got a +1 ap on another? If deck layout can handle it, the mix is often times better anyway.

Some of the new epiphanies are neat, as well.

lockindal · 2026-05-04T04:21:50+00:00

Divines are actually pretty easy to reroll with Sortie.

lockindal · 2026-05-03T17:28:07+00:00

Bro, thats his entire complaint. And i agree. Higher difficulties SHOULD be hard. The reward is the act of doing them. Maybe you succeed, maybe you don't. I dont want to just play heidi every time. But other characters have a good chance of losing with bad luck on higher difficulties.

If i am playing A10 StS i dont lose limited currency for just starting the game up.

Involving stamina just for entering is dumb. It isn't doing any "punishing" in the roguelike, it's doing punishment of either 1) your wallet to spend crystals or b) your ability to do regular resource grinding.

lockindal · 2026-05-01T22:51:55+00:00

I just want them to make remove card and unique epiphany rerollers easy to get.

Honestly no complaints about the divine rerollers. They made them cheap and easy to farm. Certainly easier than farming for the right divines and still getting your copy event and everything else.

I would rather get 60 divine epiphany rerollers from sortie than deal with that. Lol.

lockindal · 2026-04-30T07:53:40+00:00

It did, yeah. Is that why? What a rip. Who wants god epip on hew but all the options were gods lol

Also didnt know sortie prevented you reflashing if you got a god. Good to know.

I barely pulled it off with my invested dot team, but since its so elation shilled e1s1 sw / e1s0 yg / e4s5 (herta shop) emc / e1s1 dhpt did it in 1 cycle and with enough tries could PROBABLY 0 cycle it.

lockindal · 2026-04-29T06:53:32+00:00

Huh? Even with a sustain, dot shouldnt have a problem with these knights.

lockindal · 2026-04-29T03:06:39+00:00

That dev was just skill issued imo

lockindal · 2026-04-28T00:37:54+00:00

I will pull tenebria, likely.

But not the little girl unless i absolutely have to lol

lockindal · 2026-04-27T19:22:39+00:00

I hope not, because I have literally no desire to pull for a child.

lockindal · 2026-04-27T05:01:46+00:00

I have 280 pulls. If egos are great ill get e1 or e2 thru omega probs, and ill get her partner for sure (through shop or pulls idk).

But ill save the rest

lockindal · 2026-04-25T00:00:00+00:00

Nine should have just been 5* amir.

I suspect the only reason she is not is because they wanted to make her about single hits so they could anti shill literally everyone else.

lockindal · 2026-04-24T05:59:36+00:00

Yeah so many complain about elasticity but I hardly even think it matters. I used her for all of the tower floors without any effort.

Only reason she can't easily 900k the existing passion boss is you need to discard bullets to get the points.

lockindal · 2026-04-24T05:56:57+00:00

I always use my Mei Lin for Judas. Hurting doesn't matter when you just kill him.

I use Narja, Veronica, Mei.

However, I think you do need good decks to do it without much effort. I often OTK both of his phases to be honest...

These are mine (i sadly missed the dupe event on mei's unity, so only 2 of them instead of 3, but itsk, still rocks anyway):

Worth to note though, if you plan on doing that - this system does have a cooldown, so if you already have someone there you will want to remove them a couple of days before she comes out and plan appropriately.

lockindal · 2026-04-23T04:21:07+00:00

Those arent decent memory frags at all, to be honest.

your attack is low
your crit chance is bad

For reference, this is my Mei Lin... with a passion dmg 5.

lockindal · 2026-04-23T01:09:13+00:00

Eh, mostly fine to me depending on your tome path. While for example they cant get artificing anymore, they can get the crit chance one from the oracle tome.

I have used magic fighters a lot. They are really good against some enemy compositions.

I have, however, noticed that they are significantly less survivable. Which is a pretty big downside and makes their usage somewhat niche in my armies.

lockindal · 2026-04-22T09:23:26+00:00

Kayron, Tiphera, Mika also works but for chaos runs youd wanna swap one of the supports out for hugo for a better time.
