Some core 5* and 6* can round out a team, many of them even at E1.
Adding to this, highly recommend looking up Eckogen and KyoStinV on Youtube.
They both do guides for clearing all endgame content with only Low Rarity Squads. In most cases, 3*s and some 4*s (hell, sometimes even 2*s) with like maybe one or two 6*s depending on map (sometimes you just need a fuckin' boss killer and 3*s ain't cut out for that). They both come up with different strats so I recommend cross-referencing and finding the one that works better for you.
And you don't have to follow those 1:1 (a lot of it is like... stall strats and sometimes some specific timing etc) but they function as a good baseline for "Oh okay, here's how the map works and what I need to do to be able to handle it." I consulted those two a lot when I was first starting out.
There's a quote I remember seeing once that I really liked, that really stuck with me. Went something like "There's no such thing as bad Operators, only bad Doctors." Basically to put it another way, any and all Operators are perfectly viable. The game allows for clears with all 3*s! Not many gacha games let you do that. Sure, E2 M3 6*s will steamroll shit, but you can clear maps with any combination of operators and any sort of rarity. It might take a bit more effort, but it's doable.
Invest in 3*s and 4*s when options are limited, they are extremely cheap to build and honestly very effective if you put resources into them.

Back when I started I spent way too many resources leveling 5s that seem to have limited use now.
Most 5* units outside of ones like Manticore or Mr Nothing are useful in many circumstances. Boil it down to roles rather than operators to see where you’re at.
Yeah all my 5s are either worse versions of their 6 counterpart that I have, or overcosted to the 3 or 4 I'll use in a tight mission or in the rogue like.
It's what is advertised on the box. It's anywhere from truly random, to having limited randomization based on your settings.
My personal experience with it is probably not a great representation, as it gave me some late game ability things almost out of the gate and everything else was trivialized, but I am not really capable of not being completionist, so all it ultimately did was slightly alter the first handful of hours, and then it was functionally like a normal playthrough.
If you're a person who likes that sort of thing and challenge yourself to beat it immediately or whatever, I'm sure it makes that potentially interesting, with a risk of occasional frustration.
It doesn't hurt the experience, but since the only thing really that is randomized is gear locations, and there's no real way of knowing what progression upgrades are where, and the castle itself is identical, there's ultimately a limit on how different it can really feel. Like any randomizer, it kinda turns into a rush to check the easiest locations/bosses first to see if they give you the stuff you need to clear things, and can be hit or miss.

I think the headhunting contract currency also converts to crap tomorrow
Is that the 6* guy character they released? I haven't gotten him either. Kinda gave up, would rather not spend any money.
Also spent most of last night grinding the event cuz I mixed up dates and thought it ended this morning instead of tomorrow. Can't for the life of me get the trim on that EX-8 mission. I guess I'm killing too many flames? It's so god damn hard to tell and I don't understand what exactly makes the dragon insta-nuke the screen (it feels like it's if he eats too many flames?)
Ling is the lady summoner in the same family as Dusk and Nian. The guy is Lee. Ling is limited and guaranteed not to be pullable until 2023 if you don't get her now (but also don't be tricked by gacha FOMO, make responsible decisions).
The flames give the dragon a longer health bar if it gets to absorb them, up to 200% health if you don't kill any. If by insta-nuke, you mean left-to-right flame breath, that will always happen on phase 3. You need high defense + medics to live through it, or otherwise be able to win even after everyone gets killed by it. If you mean the ground stomp that fails the mission, that is based on a timer, there is a limited amount of time to win the entire stage, you must go somewhat quickly.
Oh, then Ling is the one I did get then :P I didn't get Lee.
And yeah, I mean the ground stomp. I guess letting too many flames go through is slowing me down too much then. I need to figure out good operators to bring for short term burst dmg (besides Surtr who I'm already plopping down). I've tried to follow a couple different videos that say they get the trim but either I just die horribly and can't match their run despite having crap at the same levels or I win but I don't get the trim
Try this
Or this
FWIW, these are the two I tried. First I could never make work (I suspect the timing on Ling's specials are super exact because I had dragons dying in places that video didn't), second didn't get me the trim even tho I tried it a few times (I'm assuming Eunectes being swapped for Hoshiguma would have been fine.. all she seemed to do was hold adds and I wasn't gonna level her for that :P )
I looked at a couple others but they had big teams of lowbie operators which always tells me "this is going to have too much stupid exact timing and swapping and stuff to even make it work" :P
i just don't have time anymore to do all 8 ex levels and 8 challenge modes in a week. i had a ton of time the week before but couldn't finish the event this week so now i'm just going to miss the entire back end of this event
shamare has still got it
It is a bit obnoxious that we were given around 5 days or so to do 16 levels, you basically need to do it on the weekend or risk missing it altogether.
An oldie, but a goodie.
So woo.. Now to just grind currency until the thing ends
The video:
Out of curiosity, what were you doing with your energy instead of just farming the event? I was assuming the event shop was more efficient than other things anyway.
Grinding XP and money. I didn't have all the missions done for the event and I was kinda too lazy to finish them for awhile or I would have done those. Tho I didn't realize at the time the last couple missions didn't have drop rewards anyways so I probably could have done some.
after figuring out that the story boss is just a fancy crownslayer i got him with this setup
barrens tequila autocharged thorns so i could hold mid, wrath of spaghet + popeye spinach means pallas, mudrock, and blue posion shredded the boss in a bout a second. I think Mudrock's spin might have hit for 6k
That contract is gonna age like sour milk, but go get your money Naz.
WELP that said I had a pretty fun clear with TB-3 CM. I saw Holes my mind went straight to one place: THE YEET CANNON

Calgary also sends a 1st round pick to Montreal as part of the deal. I've read the conditions on the pick 3 times and I still don't have a handle on it.
That mess seems to stem from the fact that:
So there's a bunch of bullshit that has to work those scenarios. The simple version is: if the 2024 Calgary pick is late in the first round, then Montreal has the option of taking a pick from another year. But that pick has two states - the one in which Calgary receives Florida's 2025, and the one where they get Florida's 2026.

But man am I ever looking forward to the London parade. Great time to be on vacation.
Anyways, I beat my head on the wall for awhile on the 9 and 10 stages, they were much easier than I was making them.
EDIT: also hit 120 finally.
