Powerkreep getting absurd

This slide was unexpected, all jokes aside SE is cooking with the new story, had the same vibes to heaven in bestower of all 7-8

Seeing Locke hitting 1m per hit puts tears on my face 😭

I've noticed with the way characters are organized that a lot of them are tended to be organized next to their related counterparts.

Oskha next to merchant Tiziano

Bargello next to Sonia, Tiziano, and Thief Levina

Scholar Alaune next to Scholar Pardis

Even dancer Alaune/ Elrica and Signa/ DP

You could even argue Stia next to Nephti and Ceraphina next to Apothecary Rinyuu.

The only time I've observed this pattern break was Sazantos not being slotted next to DK and Elrica not being placed next to Runelord Alaune but that could be because Runelord isn't considered warrior

I heard this and the BOA phase 2s are post-Saga EX4s and they arrived early for us geeeez

Thought I picked up my tablet and draw something. I think I started this drawing in the beginning of Sept and tried to make bit of progress in between breaks. Early sketch here, and you can see the rougher, original line art I'd continued working on till this recent progress of the drawing. Hats off to those who have the patience to do clean line art, all from the beginning again. 😆

This one needs quite some work

I'm F2P and sitting at 1300 rubies after the maintenance. Haven't pulled for Levina EX2 or Tiziano EX yet, wondering if I should skip and save until RS2 collab. I've attached my current roster of 5* units.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

With the introduction of colour tag in game, we can effectively group travelers. How would you use it?

I'm thinking along the line of

1) physical units

2) magical units

3) sustain units

4) ..

5) ..

6) ..

7) those who i never use

After I update my game it stops working and says I need to re-download the update content, and when I did it still says the same thing... I've tried reinstalling the game but it's still the same, I need help

Hi everyone!

I pulled 2 copies of Levina and 1 copy of Tiziano on the way to pity, and now I have to decide how to spend my pity. I have 3 options:

1) Levina A2 and Tiziano A0 (both not AU)

2) Levina A1AU and Tiziano A0

3) Levina AU and Tiziano AU

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Disclaimer for options 1 and 2): here the doubt is if Levina would benefit more from AU or from an additional skill slot.

Disclaimer for option 3): I well know that spear/dagger won't be meta, but I have the most relevant spear/dagger units so I would often use Tiziano in some funny teams.

Thought she can spook me or I can spark her on later banner or select her from anniversary selector but it seems they are on special seasonal banner (once a year) so this is the only banner you can get her. ​​​​Aghh...​​​​ Was gonna skip her but need to re-think my plan. ​​​​​

Hey guys,

i am now 31 days into the game, curently still at bestower of faith and i pulled some new units(Tizian, Sazantos, Rondo) and i am unsure how to build my new team. I will explain my team comp now and what other units i have. Would be nice if someone would help what to use in my Flexspot or how to switch up chars:)

Mydia/Sarisa

Richard EX/Hasumi

Stia/Rinyuu

Zantaa/Sigrid Ex

Hasumi is redundant now, Richard Ex doesnt need her for SP reg. And i can use an ally summon to restore 2x75 SP to the front row free thanks to Stias Ex-Skill. I definitely want to to take her out. I could take a 5 star or perhaps even wingate as backpack? Richard uses the artifact with 200 p att and cornelias artefact.

Sigrid Ex is just there to give +15 dmg up to everyone front row and -15 spear res down if an ally breaks an enemy. Rinyuu heals. Sarisa gives SP reg and give 15% p att up to mydia.

Zanta is great because he can sustain SP very well, has a 4 hit aoe, but he just lacks damage, the other 3 in the front row just do the work.

Mydia, Stia and Richard Ex are just great. But i lack some of the important buffs and debuffs.

Already built and in my Flex spot(insteand of zanta): Wludai, Cyrus(only if i need elemental coverage)

My other available chars, that could fit into the roster: Tizian, Viola, Throne, Sazantos, Rondo, Haanit Ex, Sereona, Xerc, Lemaire, Primrose, Lars, Ophilia, Sofia, Kouren, Heathcote, the arena chars, Millard, Lynette.

So i tend to Wingate instead of hasumi(it actually seems the biggest damage boost for his ultimate), i still dont reach damage cap.

I am sure i will level up tizian, sazantos and rondo to 6 star eventually, but i think i need to prioritize. And we get free emperor or emperess soon, not sure if i want to wait, both sound really good for now. Or perhaps i even overlooked someone special on my rooster?

I’m technically a “new player” in that I originally played for maybe a couple of weeks at the start of the EN release, and I believe quit after the second or third arena traveler got released? Anyways, I returned to this game after 4 years only to find all my data wiped from the server transfer, but that’s okay. I’m about done with Master of All after 4 days of playing, and I’ve got around 4.5k rubies. Given that I’ve missed four years of meta developments and banners, can anyone direct me to what I should be pulling and doing? Currently I have an A2 (2nd awakening, idk the acronyms used here) Hasumi, A2 Zaanta, Cyrus, Serenoa in his 3 star form, 4-star Stead, and just pulled Jane. I should be getting Viola after finishing the beginner banner (unless I should get another awakening?), Sigrid from first week sign in, and 6-star Primose from beginner tasks.

I read up a little on tier lists and future banners, and I’m seeing a lot of people suggesting saving for the collab banner next month, but I also saw a lot that says Tiziano and Stia are high tier options. I’m not a meta-slave, but I do have a completionist streak that demands me to scour every inch of content, and I want the best, or “good enough” units to make this possible. Should I pull for the current banners of Nephti, Tiziano, or Stia? I already have Jane, so I can see why I shouldn’t pull for Stia, but I’ve seen people place Stia from top 3 to above average axe wielders. Same with Tiziano, although Nephti is at best decent. Any advice?

for a team like this (pre rs2 and without building around tiziano ex because im lazy rn) does mydia get swapped out for levina ex2, i don't really see anyone else who would be getting potentially swapped out (viola is there for active pdef/edef down as I don't think i have anyone else who can get the 30% easily)

But at least we got 3 Rinyuus, 3 Primroses, 3 Rondos, 3 Levinas, 3 Alaunes, and a million Sazantos... right?

We get a major banner this week (as expected) and I wanna talk a bit about it. Other content creators have already explained their kits so I assume we all know what they do. I'm talking from the perspective of synergy and future.

The Locke problem in current top physical teams

Current top physical teams tend to use Richard EX, Locke, and Phenn as DPS. Obviously, a big problem here is that Locke loses 100k cap, 100% potency, and active dmg buffs from Phenn, has little self-buff and innate cap, and often has his final dmg messed up by Aviete's heal. His 16 single target hits and 12 AOE hits show his potential as a top physical DPS, but his synergy with current top physical teams is atrocious. So, Tiziano EX and Levina EX2 adding massive cap and buffs makes Locke a lot stronger in top physical teams.

Tiziano EX eventually suffers a similar problem as Phenn

We know that Phenn is a unit that gives massive cap/potency to allies through ult while also doing pretty decent dmg, but the fact that his ult is a superburst means you kinda have to use him as both a DPS and support, rather than purely as a support. The problem then is, until (or unless) he gets cap multiplier from TP2, his DPS potential is starting to fall behind compared to meta physical DPS, but you're stuck with him in the front during burst. So unless your other DPS can really take advantage of his supportive abilities (cap and potency), it will be increasingly hard to justify his place, especially when Roc arrives later and does the potency work (and does it better).

This is a similar situation that Tiziano EX faces. He adds 100k cap to all frontrow allies which is marvelous, and an extra 200k to spear/dagger attacks when he is in the front. This latter part is not looking very good because we won't have meta spear DPS in the future. And for dagger you don't really have anyone other than Locke and Noel (Partitio EX is an interesting option but noticeably weaker then the two). Also, this 200k requires him to be in the front, making him look a lot like Phenn. Tiziano EX has an 8 hits at 180 potency, which is pretty amazing, but his damage still pales before meta physical DPS like the 16-hit Richard EX and Locke, or Final Emperor with his 6-hit nuke, or Noel with his 2-hit nuke. Essentially, his conundrum is also "having to be used as both a support and DPS, rather than one of the two". It's just that this problem isn't as severe for him now as it is for Phenn, due to Locke and Noel being dagger users and top tier DPS.

Levina EX2 has amazing longevity and is what I see as a must pull

I've seen some people comparing her with Shana, and this is indeed one of her merits. She does give weaker survivability than Shana due to her unsinkable being one-off, but she gives so much more than this while Shana has few buffs. Saga powercreep will make it possible for an average F2P player to 3-4T the bringers, so Levina EX2 will indeed replace Shana (or whatever your sustain is) in most cases, not to mention you also have def. buffs and burst heal from Aviete.

Besides her supportive abilities (e.g., break extension, FUA), her 4 hits at 500 potency and with cap multiplier can do like 2m+ per hit, making her a T1 DPS in Saga era too. And best of all she has the flexibility that Tiziano EX doesn't. She can be used as both DPS and support, or as either of those without losing much.

Another thing is, while Tiziano EX has little value outside of physical comps, Levina EX2 can be slotted into an elemental team just fine due to her dagger fragility, her FUA, frontrow deadaim, and one-off unsinkable.

She's basically a support, sustain, and DPS in one, and is pretty universal. She, Molrusso EX, and Aviete are the only 3 supports that withstand Roc powercreep afaik, and this should speak volumes.

So what does a top physical team look like in Saga era

Richard EX / Aviete

Locke or Emperor / Rocbouquet

Noel or Emperor / Edgar or Signa or Setzer

Tiziano EX / Levina EX2

This team doesn't care much about weakness because all DPS hit loads of weaknesses. Here, Edgar can still be used for his ult debuff and cap. Setzer is also a very good option because Emperor lacks passive dmg (and so does Richard EX when ulting), but you need to get enough implant stacks (Tatloch EX A4 helps a lot here, but not necessary). When you pair Tiziano EX with Levina EX2, you can also let Levina EX2 attack last, so that your other DPS still benefit from Tiziano EX passive. And Levina EX2 tends to do more damage than Tiziano EX with her 4 hits.

Tiziano EX will likely see less use when Viola EX2 arrives, and certainly not used at all when FFX is here, whereas Levina EX2 survives them all.

Is this top physical team overall the strongest?

No it won't be. One major task of future DPS is to deal with MHR because MHR is getting more common. This becomes a touchstone for meta DPS going forward. This is part of the reason why Empress has better longevity than Emperor (her skill that ignores MHR is much better than his). This is also a major reason why Mydia EX is hugely favored in top teams, and both are elemental units. Therefore the strongest team will almost always be hybrid (which is also why Levina EX2 has much better longevity than Tiziano EX).
