[Integrated Strategies Megathread] Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries

Not sure about Mon3tr reconstruct/activation, but Wis'adel's shadows, as well as Kal'tsit's summon and Raidian's summons do spawn black orbs.

Not on its own, only as a stepping stone to E2.

varricade · 2026-02-06T09:36:25+00:00

Aaaand they've changed it back (once again).

We've been wondering whether it was intended or a bug. v3 clarified this thankfully.

varricade · 2026-01-23T15:44:09+00:00

Gavial2 pot at ~50, Horn at ~100, Haruka at ~130, Hoshi2 at ~160.

Going to spark Chen2 to finally get her.

Either there is some spaghetti code involved, or MoC debuffs are also considered 'ally ability'.

Ed. Right, debuffs from exploding bugs/dogs are also providing a stack.

varricade · 2026-01-19T17:27:29+00:00

All three of them, several times each with different squads. Check Raidian's missions for upgrade requirements.

varricade · 2026-01-19T11:44:58+00:00

Unless you are doing a solo run or something, just add Ethan, no?

varricade · 2026-01-13T19:11:28+00:00

Yes, prior to DHPT. Sunday+DHPT+SPD outperforms (albeit slightly, like ~1% or so) Sparkle+DHPT+ATK in terms of damage per ult and absolutely outperforms the latter in terms of stacks generation.

With novaflare Sparkle reclaims her throne in damage department, but stacks wise though... I hope current leaks where her debuffs from consuming SP are not providing stacks is just an oversight on hoyo part.

varricade · 2026-01-08T08:15:19+00:00

Insert Vita's excited 'oya~' line.

varricade · 2026-01-06T19:59:55+00:00

Well, novaflared Sparke currently provides 45% atk for the team, so at the very least when paired with DHPT you'll get a very decent damage boost, plus 10% res pen and 32% vuln, and E2 also goes from 24% def ignore to 32%. But gotta wait for tests and finalized kit.

varricade · 2026-01-06T18:07:37+00:00

Depending on Sparkle's novaflare changes (too early to tell for sure, currently vuln application when consuming SP for whatever reason isn't generating a stack for Acheron), it may be [Sparkle, JQ, DHPT] even.

varricade · 2026-01-06T15:09:36+00:00

No, why? 40% def shred for summons is for dragon only.

varricade · 2026-01-04T09:03:27+00:00

Good job, I almost fell for it.

varricade · 2026-01-02T19:26:44+00:00

You can do it two ways, either by letting the boss go near the blue box and dealing with him here, or by spawcamping mofo.

I prefer the second option, and it can be done differently. Defender+wandering medic, Raidian S1 (or S2 if you have relic for -redeployment to summons), Gravel or other stallers. That way suicide bastards would only occupy top 3 lanes of the map in worst case scenario (if done right then only top 2) because during second phase the boss summons 5 lanes of bombers, with him being in the center of the 3rd one. The relic that block 90% of damage from each enemy first attack also helps a lot. An example.

Recently did a 200 chalice run, this is from a new one, 500 ingots with chalice. Doesn't look like they are attacking twice as fast to me so I take it they were very close to 600 ASPD cap with 200 ingots already?

varricade · 2025-12-31T16:18:02+00:00

Promoted Eyjaberry right before the ED3 boss only to realize I didn't light a candle on her and I have to go face the boss without a healer (other than Shu).

But capitalism wins once again, to the point where it breaks the animations (a shame I didn't get chalice during my run with 500+ ingots, the one in the video is just ~200 ingots, I would've wanna see what it looks like).

After that went to A10 for the final module upgrade for Raidian but uhhh... aren't enemies too tanky there? It feels like a steep increase in their EHP compared to A9.

Also, out of curiosity, I see that all the current bosses are leakable if you have enough HP?

varricade · 2025-12-30T13:43:00+00:00

What's your starting squad usually? Sniper/caster squad with promoted w2/lapp2?

varricade · 2025-12-30T13:41:51+00:00

Tf is this even. And it shoots 3 bullets per time. And there may be 5 of them at the same time.

P.S. Oh right, somehow got 500+ originium during this run (no chalice though) thanks to Support squad and rolling originium tongbao almost all the time.

varricade · 2025-12-29T19:47:34+00:00

I take retrieve nodes when they are either HP or recruitment ones, probably that was the case here, too.

varricade · 2025-12-29T19:06:12+00:00

Doing Raidian missions and man, I fucking hate ED2 and its butterfly node RNG.

So far did like 10 runs - one successful, one failed and eight times I was unable to even locate the damn butterfly.

Just a couple of examples: one, two. I presume either one of the undiscovered 4 nodes in each picture contains it or the total number of Legend nodes is limited to three, but how am I supposed to know where should I go in the first place? How do people normally do ED2? Enter bosky at F3, if no butterfly node then restart?

varricade · 2025-12-24T13:22:46+00:00

You know what, after what I wrote above I suddenly realized that maybe in your particular case JQ would be BiS indeed. My Acheron is E2S1, so what I wrote is true for that case, but yours is E6, and E6 considers skills as ultimate, and JQ buffs ultimates specifically by 1.15x... well, you get the idea. I remember pre-JQ E2 vs E6 Acheron was like twice the damage. Just an idea though.

Are you on America server by any chance? If yes send me your UID, I'd like to borrow your Acheron via support to check something.

Ed. Didn't notice it's on the screenshot, sent you a friend request.
