From what early reports I saw, the healer has amazing skills but her stats are really really bad. Ian seems to be this rounds Lena and is really good.
The early reports on Ervalen are that he's going to be a beast. His mods are great if something has more than 6K HP than him, which if that works for PvE, he'll be a monster. I'd save some BM/skystones for next week.
I lost against 4 different teams, then did a refresh, and suddenly 4 teams are a single person on defense so that's four easy wins. I beat the 5th team of full slots, and then four of the next 5 teams are also single persons. So I'm climbing from low Gold IV to Gold III super easy off of this. And these defense teams are all Gold V or Gold IV.
Do folks just ignore defense even as they climb out of Wood tier?

It's not uncommon to see people not quite realize the whole defense team thing until they get a big higher, yes.

They're doing it on purpose so you hit them and they can Revenge you for easy points. Though that didn't stop me from farming those teams straight to Master where I now only do NPC battles and no one attacks me.

Also Ken did good in his first guild war. Kise not so much. Well Kise losing in her slot was because of a team with some strange speed timings. My broman got outsped by a ml lidica just barely or speed tie. But a bbk was fast to cut in front of my cdoms getting pushed by my broman crits. Was a strange team. They didnt really do dmg but my broman is made of paper and died to the bbk but the other two lived even my cdoms so yeah was just meant to cut. The ken I brought against a kayron arby comp with ml haste and ml krau. We got the arby down twice then he got his s3 stun off on the kayron to kill him once. The diene just sat there till the end heh. Him getting his energy faster is real nice.
So I took Rose, C. Dom, Sigret and Baal&Sezan into arena against SSB, Arby, Krau and Roana. You can probably guess how it turned out, and it pisses me right the fuck off.
Rose buffed my team, Baal debuffs, C. Dom deletes SSB and Sigret deletes Arby. And then C. Dom also deletes Krau a couple turns later.
But during all that, Baal&Sezan get killed by Krau because of course they do, and Roana is functionally immortal.
So I guess my question is what do I do against defense teams with 25k HP absurd defense soul weavers who can stall forever until the damage timer kills me? And why the fuck is something like that in Gold 3?
Is there a good reason why the overtime advantage isn't with the attacker and not the defender? I bought two counters for their two DPS, grrrrr
Gonna swap out B&S for Ken, I guess?
Edit: nope; without B&S landing crits on Arby and Roana, my C. Dom doesn't have the juice to one-shot SSB. Not to mention Ken can't open with S3, so I don't have enough souls for C. Dom's S3 because my Tagehel doesn't have any copies yet.
Edit edit: that dude's in Gold V actually, lul. Sandbag much? I cut my losses and refreshed, and hit Gold II. I'd still like to know which units to look out for to break the blue/green immortal healer with seemingly infinite defense and effect resistance brick wall comps
Sometimes you run into folks that don’t care much and have decayed into lower levels with well geared units.
If your C dom can’t kill Roana solo, you just need better gear. She barely heals and is usually slow. Her main trick is healing off counters/dual attacks.
I'd forgotten Daydream Joker existed so I'm through Abyss 63 now, lol.
I don't think I'm going to hit Gold I, most of the defense teams I'm seeing now are faster. Turning my focus mostly to NPC battles. I'll have enough for the slate in a couple days, so that's nice.
Oh man. ML Krau just too good on gw offense. Chips dmg off nicely and near constant uptime of immunity is just nuts. I have his speed about where it needs to be for where we are at in gws to always have it up against the popular bruiser teams. Just horse biking things to death. Such a simple kit but one of the better ones they have done lately.
Don't take the free unequip from the event until you want to use it. It only lasts 6days in your mailbox and redeems when you use it out of the mailbox.
Yeah it's RNG for those until you get enough to bash together in the Alchemy Tower. Which is how I got mine because boy did it not want to give me that slot at all
These new abyss floors are challenging for the wrong reasons. On multiple floors you essentially need to pass RNG checks roughly 20-30 times in a row to succeed. If you fail, sorry try again. Attempts take 20 minutes.
Krau in 25 and Ervalen in not yet because my resources are thin and Landy burned me with the minute one pulling, lol. If he's that good I'll try to snag him before his banner disappears I guess.
Got Ervalen in 30 pulls. No arti so I tried another 60 or so and no dice. Gave up to move to Krau banner. He's one of my most used units, so I wanted to try for an imprint. Ended up with 2 holy sac's but in 60 pulls or so I got my imprint. I have 300 skystones right now and no BM's, so SG better do a couple re-run banners next lol.
He is a little shit. But is one of the best bruiser team breakers released yet. And that is all you see these days really. Fat. And you know I think Lilias is worse on the character story front.

I want some of the other ones with good kits. Even if they have 3 star stats they will most likely be good for those outside of the top 1%.

They used to be used for the final skill ups on nat 5s. A while ago they were removed from skill costs so now you just break them down.

That’s less than engaging gameplay.
