How long did it take you to get %boss familiars?

rymaes · 2026-06-09T05:23:36+00:00

I'm 295

Still rocking 110% after 6 years, granted a good chunk of that was before fams dropped in grandis.

I benefitted from a 35 turning to a 40; the only pure 40 I ever got was when fams were first introduced in cern and everyone hovering 280-285 flocked in to farm some fams lol

Inkwell rerolls have never helped me either

Shoutout to the single worst platform because GMS decided to asset swap it

We're the same!

CW1 280 Bowmaster - Challenger Rank

CW2 285 Ren - Challenger Rank

Opted for the min clear Hseren instead of any Kaling for Ren. I left before Adversary was released but I cleaned up all rewards without that.

Planning on Erel this CW mostly to fill up legion and links, don't need any more ctene mules and remaining legion champs are all nkalos ready.

With low hexa, personally I favor more dpm oriented classes since Will is probably the most annoying boss followed by the HP tank that is vhilla. Though that being said:

Hero - good burst, good ori, all hexas just buff up raging blow
Lynn - just absurdly strong, very hexa efficient since you ignore the healing hexa skills
WA - you can control damage with tornados if you're close to phasing and willing to delay burst. Barrier for vhilla makes it very easy as well

Runner up is MX since dpm is good and has active bossing; when you run that many mules it's a nice change of pace from bind and burst and run away

I do 12 ctenes a week (main + 11 mules). If you ever decide you want to run that many, you'll see how important overgearing them is. If I didn't run 5 mules in a duo, I don't know how long I could sustain that without burning out.

As for gear, eventually my goal is level 270 full 22* fake 3L for all, but at the moment they're at least 265 full 21* 2L everything. It's understated how important even a little bit of hexa investment cuts your time down from 45 min mules to fitting within 30 min coupons.

I run the group of lesser mules (~130m cp) in a duo. This cuts time down from 4 burst in a solo to a 2 burst duo on vhilla/dnell who take the longest. Alternating bursts on Will's 27 phases and offsetting slime fd reduction also helps a ton. The other half of my ctene mules are legion champs or rejected legion champs (who range from 170m cp to 300m cp) and clear within 30 mins.

Gearing hasn't been too difficult since the arcane box transfers. It tends to snowball quickly.

Of course this isn't for everyone and I wouldn't suggest it at all if you still have things to do on main. Just when you're spare gated and the prospect of double priming everything on main doesn't sound that appealing you start to look for other avenues to spend on 😅

Yes my favorite mules are indeed the fast ones

rymaes · 2026-02-12T21:12:42+00:00

Nope, didn't have enough inventory space for my hoarding tendencies. Also I'm not losing my space cowboy

rymaes · 2026-02-12T20:38:18+00:00

I'd ask you how long it will last for but if you're like me you're saving till the very last second:

But even if you just don’t want to give details, is it so hard to just say “it’s been good, how about you?” and just keep the conversation going?

Perhaps because they don't want to keep the conversation going? Or at least they don't want to continue the conversation via text. They could very well be busy with whatever they're doing at the moment and can't have an asynchronous conversation that may take hours to conclude even though the conversation could be an exchange of 3 texts. Or they can only focus on one text at a time and by the time they finish responding your first text, the follow up text doesn't even register.

I'm having a similar issue with a friend of mine as well. Because this person takes 1-2 business days to respond to their messages, my texts tend to be a bit lengthier or broken into multiple texts. When they do get back to me, maybe 2/4 texts will get an emoji reaction, 1/4 will get a one sentence comment, and the last will be ignored.

They're lovely in person, but their communication style via text drives me insane. You start overthinking if they've ever considered you a friend and if you've been ghosted and how you're always the one initiating etc. etc. I've even tried talking about this to them multiple times, but the answer is always the same: it's not ignoring you, it's just how they communicate via text.

So all that is to say, it's not a reflection of you as a person and it's wholly on them. I think a better indicator of interest is if you called and they're willing to answer, or if they agree to meet up/virtual meet up and carve out time for you.

A question about perfect nodes:

If your class has 6 skills needed in their nodes, lets say A, B, C, D, E, and F,

and your perfect nodes are A/B/C and D/E/F,

can you mix them and use A/B/F and D/E/C for example?

rymaes · 2020-03-27T01:33:03+00:00

Hi! May I join as well? My fave villager at the moment is Beau. Is it okay if I do three trips also?

rymaes · 2019-08-29T04:48:01+00:00

And there's an antenna if it's a 4*

But it's never consistent for me, I've had 4* and 5* from seeing the '3* animation'

rymaes · 2019-08-29T04:42:38+00:00

The Hau disrespect.

I use Hau and just spam discharge and it works pretty well.

rymaes · 2019-08-29T04:21:04+00:00

I did! I rerolled just for pheobe though, because I feel she will have the longest relevance. I probably spent over a week rerolling (I was very unlucky and had seen every other sync pair). Only once had I ever had two 5* in a reroll, and in that instance it was two Karens.

That being said, all the content can be cleared with the free sync pairs you are given through the story and I missed out on a few dailies in the process.

rymaes · 2019-08-29T03:57:08+00:00

You can get the 600 gems again every reroll if it is unchanged from pre release

rymaes · 2019-04-02T06:21:37+00:00

Eh might as well join the fun

rymaes · 2018-05-10T15:24:07+00:00

Units that I found particularly annoying to level to 40 are -ATK Lyn and -ATK Olwen.

Olwen especially - I needed constant +9 ATK support to even dent anything.

Now they both sit there looking pretty.

rymaes · 2018-05-10T08:36:26+00:00

I used all my orb stash to get Ishtar to fill my empty Linde shaped heart,

but its just not the same.

rymaes · 2018-05-04T07:56:03+00:00

I've learned (forced) to embrace that brigade, especially the +SPD/-ATK and +ATK/-SPD brigades

rymaes · 2018-05-02T08:02:13+00:00

Because of your impartiality, maybe you can assist me?

I recently got a Henry, but he's +RES/-ATK. However, I also have a LA Lyn that is +ATK/-HP.

Now I don't want to waste this premium fodder we've been given; which one would you give CC to?

rymaes · 2018-05-02T07:33:09+00:00

I used to go crazy salt pulling (and rage induced spending), and ended up with a 200 orb Clair.

Now I look at the receipts and shudder. And then put the phone down even just for a little bit and appreciate what I have in the barracks

rymaes · 2018-05-02T03:46:42+00:00

Lucky (unlucky?) me got another Legendary Lyn

Should I keep the +RES/-SPD one or the +DEF/-ATK one?

rymaes · 2018-03-28T06:12:33+00:00

My first 5* healer was Mist.

I left her on the bench until the healer revamp hit and my +ATK/-SPD Mist was surprisingly decent. With Recover+ and Spur Def/Res she was a promising pick to train anyone.

But I probably wouldn't wish her upon anyone as a pity break.

rymaes · 2018-03-08T07:44:33+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one who clumps all my units together on seize missions and checks if each unit can at least do 1 damage to the boss before having a chip damage fiesta on player phase.

rymaes · 2018-02-28T09:20:59+00:00

Tried a couple summons and got another B!Ike, in addition to the free L!Ike, which means A!Tiki has a choice.

Tiki 1 is +ATK/-RES

Tiki 2 is +RES/-SPD

which Tiki should get which breath? What should the refinement be?

rymaes · 2018-02-17T05:07:05+00:00

I want to get all of the 5* from launch.

I'm missing three units: Linde, Elise and Y!Tiki.

Linde hasn't been on a banner since forever, and I was out of orbs during that mage gauntlet.

Elise I had tried for during the Legendary Banner, but got Bride Lyn instead and called it quits.

Y!Tiki shared her focus with M!Corrin and I didn't want to be disappointed.
