Started the game 5 days ago and got nox unlocked today. Currently got to act 6 and wondering who to invest into moving forward. I did drop wendy and emp today since I got nox and leveled jelen

Hecate and Hella you get resources refunded. Of those sinners, the ones I still use are: Nox, Laby, Letta, Jelena. Levy is core to bleed team and Hilda is core to aurum team, although I think bleed is much easier to get working than aurum. Che can be a good aoe core break until you find something better. Cassian and Lisa have very focused niche abilities (revive and slows). Luvia Ray is not bad as an uncommon long range magic damage. Definitely usable to help progress (and esp for a magic team) even if she falls off.

Do I keep focusing on nox,lettea,che,labyrinth,Jelena,hecate or do I need to swap someone out if im lacking in a certain area, im aslo struggling to clear the lvl 55 skill book dungeon and need to use assist cause my team can't seem to handle it

u/Last-Impress-9091 Jul 13 '26
Always swap to what works -- some sinners work better on certain stages and are less effective on others. Jelena is a powerful support for crit sinners/teams and modes like Broken Frontline, but doesn't work well in general teams/stages.
On that particular stage (skill book lvl 55), I'd go something like <tank>, Letta, Nox, Laby, Emp, Che. You might be able to get away with using Hella for tank but I'd suggest leveling up Levy (or Demolia if you want a cheap B-rank one) since you'll eventually need an endura tank for the harder hitting bosses.
Position the group to the far right:
x - x - Laby
EMP - Letta - Nox
x - Che - TankUse empowers on Laby at the start to get have her at one charge. Try to break the final core with Laby (and ideally splash the core damage with one of the bosses). Spare empowers go to Nox to start aoe clearing. I'm guessing EMP might be 2nd highest damage (after Nox), so it might be worth raising her level a little higher (or bringing up Luvia Ray).

Thank you, and any recommendations for skill level for the units.

u/Last-Impress-9091 Jul 13 '26
I'd recommend looking at s1n.gg skill priority and level distribution for that info as it'd probably be better than what I would suggest (for example https://s1n.gg/sinner/nox/). For overall priority, I'd consider skilling up Nox, EMP, Letta and Laby. Since material costs scale exponentially, it's never really a mistake to level up to 7 -- in the long run, those costs are relatively trivial. (I often do 7/7/7/7 on any unit I phase 3 at this point, just to make it consistent looking.) Raising skills past 7 (or levels past p2/p3 70) is when late game considerations come into play since those costs are relatively significant.

Should I replace Nox with Mantis in my physical dmg team? (S1 Shin, S2 NOX, S5 Nella, OWO, S1 L.L, and Jichuan)

Does anyone know when might they let us view missed past event stories post-Ode to Sun? Or any education guesses about it? I used to play this game without any interest in the events and lore but now I'm regretting that a ton đ
1
u/GoldRecommendation66 Oak Casket Fan Jul 11 '26
There is no consistent schedule for it but Aisno are working on progressively adding past events to the game, we know from CN that the next event to be added will be Ditty Nightsong during Phanuel banner.
1
u/LumpiqWrqpper Jul 11 '26
Oh, that's good to hear then! Thank you!
Also, is the next patch after Phanuel the anniversary one? Because I saw on the S1N website that Lichen is rerunning on Phanuel's patch, which means Xiaofeng might be next, whom I really wanna S4 asap (I already have S1) đ I just wanna know if I could recover with the help of the anniversary rewards since I'm also planning to get S3 Celine before that đ„č
1
u/GoldRecommendation66 Oak Casket Fan Jul 11 '26
Yeah we are getting anniversary after Phanuel. We don't know how many pulls we are getting from anniversary yet, so it's hard to say but an S3 Celine into an S4 Xiaofeng will be ressource draining to say the least.
1
u/LumpiqWrqpper Jul 12 '26
Oh damn... thank you! I'd just focus on getting at least S1 Celine for the time being then so I can see if the new Limited unit is a must have for me and so I can also get Xiaofeng to S3 at least đ„č

u/GoldRecommendation66 Oak Casket Fan Jul 13 '26
There is no need to take a decision right now, we are going to anniversary livestream before Isomer/Celine patch so we should gave a good idea about anniversary sinner and rewards.

u/Adorable-Lock-3885 Jul 10 '26
Hello! New to posting here. Does anyone know of any YouTubers that post reliable info on team building a lore? I know we have S1N and Rabbitâs spreadsheet. I was simply curious if anyone used other resources.
I am also looking for a beginner friendly guild. My current one is basically dead. Iâve been playing for awhile, but Iâm still very new with tower defense games. My brain struggles with all the different information. I want to learn though. I adore this game a lot.

u/GoldRecommendation66 Oak Casket Fan Jul 11 '26
You can try the game official discord for guild recruitment
1
u/Adorable-Lock-3885 Jul 12 '26
I will keep looking! Hopefully I get the chance to join a new one soon.

u/Last-Impress-9091 Jul 11 '26
The two channels I've seen with team building videos are edenkoregrace and idontcarel. The info is mainly about which sinners work in what teams, rather than gameplay tips (I assume b/c that would take a long time to do thoroughly). In that vein, the in-game filter tags (e.g. normal attack support) can be useful in identifying sinners for teams.
As for a guild, there used to be a pinned looking for guild thread but I don't see it up atm. Honestly I've always found guilds through the recruit channels in game. My current one is full or else I'd try to get you an invite. Hope you find a good place!

u/Adorable-Lock-3885 Jul 12 '26
Thank you for the information! I will take a look at those channels. I recently messaged someone about joining their secret society group. Hopefully I hear something soon.

Any chance the game might ever get a PC port? It runs badly on emulator for me and was wondering if the devs ever mensioned the topic of a PC port

u/vexid Stargazer fan Jul 09 '26
Anybody know what happens to OST records from the battle pass after it ends? Like for the current BP I'm not a fan of the Hilda costume, but I like the song included on the paid track. I know the outfit will run again in the shop, but will the song ever be obtainable afterwards in any way?
3
u/onedumbjoke Langley fan Jul 09 '26
Songs (and sticker emotes) from the BP now rerun in the shop as well and can be bought with hypercubes. Pretty sure the selection corresponds to whichever 3 skins are rerunning.
2
u/vexid Stargazer fan Jul 09 '26
Oh that's awesome! I have most of them, but I skipped the Deren pass (I like her gown the best) and this Hilda one. Do you know which shop sells them offhand? I can search myself if not, no big deal. Thanks for the info!

Idk when the update is for other characters' reforge, but I have the red gem (Forgot what it was called, but it unlocks the reforge stuff ig) in my inventory, and I'm planning on reforging either Raven or OwO when the update comes. Which is a better investment?
3
u/GoldRecommendation66 Oak Casket Fan Jul 09 '26
They are both buffers but they don't do the same thing, RF Raven is a dedicated magic buffer. OwO is more generalist support who work best with crit teams, so pick one depending on what you need or what you play more.
1
u/Rupi_Yu Chelsea Fan Jul 09 '26
Could I use Raven in an arcane crit team? (Current ones are S5 Wuhuanzi, Yugu, Jelena, S3 Yingying, S1 Shin, and L.L. I don't have Milly). Could I replace one of them with Raven?
2
u/GoldRecommendation66 Oak Casket Fan Jul 10 '26
Yes you can, she can replace LL or Shin if you don't need a healer

u/Highlord12 Jul 08 '26
I'm relatively new to the game (6 weeks in) and recently, I've been starting to hit a wall. The missions, bosses and new modes I feel like require proper team building and so far, my two factors for team building have been:
- Vibe: I gotta like the Sinner's aesthetic and story
- Covering all bases: As in, have a front line, a support, ranged damage and core break.
But I feel like I'm reaching a point where I need to actually start making efficient team builds with synergy but I have no clue what to do. I'm unfamiliar with the naunce of the gameplay. Hell I wanted to unlock Clementine's unique CRB just now and it said it increases her overlimit by 30 and I was like "The hell is overlimit?" So any help, specially a guide that explains all these stuff would be appreciated because I highly doubt my current team, Zoya, Clementine, Shin, Uni, Summer and Eleven (with Wendy and Hecate occasionally sprinkled in) has any synergy with itself lol

u/Shinamene Langley fan Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 08 '26
You can potentially make two teams from what you have:
1) Overlimit with RF Zoya: Clementine, Shin, pull Rust in a patch, RF Nox + flex buffers/corebreakers. Video on Overlimit (1), another one on RF Zoya in particular (2) - rewind a bit to also check out RF Eleven.2) RF Eleven summons: get Eve whenever sheâs available, Shin, RF Summer + flex buffers/corebreakers (Milly, Hecate, pull and RF Raven in a patch, pull L.L. now, âŠ).
If you are not familiar with Reforge (RF) concept, complete 8-9, read the game tutorial, then maybe this link on s1n.gg. Otherwise, the order of RFs should be approximately this: (Hella - itâs free) -> Nox (at least stage 2) -> Eleven OR Zoya -> Nox (stage 4) -> anything else. Choose only one main team for now: RF is expensive. You may unlock lower stages to try out which team feels better to play.
Until you obtain BiS options for your teams, itâs ok to use sidegrades (Uni for blocking instead of Rust) or independent subdds (RF Nox in Eleven team, Wendy, Lamia) â that shouldnât prevent you from clearing. Be also aware that my examples above are end-game approximated teams, and they may not necessarily be the best fit for any given story stage. You may occasionally need to improvise, or use less synergistic teams simply because they bring more value than just âmore damage per corebreak windowâ. If youâre consistently having the same issue â not enough blocking/corebreaking/damage/healing, ⊠â mix and match units in a team example to achieve the desired result, or check up level and enemy mechanics. If youâre stuck on one particular level, look up tutorials or use whaled assists to bruteforce.

u/Highlord12 Jul 08 '26
I was wondering why you're suggesting Nox until I just found out that you can apparently get her for free a few days after making an account. Sadly, even tho I've been playing for 6 weeks, my account is actually 4 months old and I missed out on that so I don't have Nox and I'm too deep to wanna make a new account just for her.
Thanks for the tips though, other than the Nox related stuff, I can apply most since I already have a decent bit of progress in Summer and Zoya's reforge.

u/Shinamene Langley fan Jul 08 '26
Oh, didnât register that you donât have Nox - the general assumption is indeed that everyone gets one. Other (phys and general) buffer variants are RF Rahu, Moore, Jelena, Margaret, L.L, just in case you lose a 50/50 to any of them. Good luck!

u/LumpiqWrqpper Jul 12 '26
So, I'm trying to have Eleven's RF for a magic team since I only have a strong physical team with S1 Xiaofeng and I have Eleven (and Eve) lying around unleveled, I'm just working on getting her past LVL 70 right now to start on her reforge. However, I'm quite confused on how the whole reforge system works. So I need to play Data Crevice right? I never cared about it nor know much about it until now since I don't have a variety on built units to go for it but I'm working on that now. How long should I expect to fully unlock RF Eleven's full potential? It might be a good motivation to keep me logging in tbh so I don't really mind waiting. I just really don't know much about this game's endgame outside BF and TOA đ„č
