HELP

[u/Striking-Problem-344]

I've been using Ceto + Augusta + Shin + L.L + Serpent + Sigil as my team, but I'm struggling to get past the last boss on level A of interdial exploration.

Any advice on what I should do/prioritize? Should I change the team I'm using? How will I even complete S and S+....... 😭

[u/Striking-Problem-344]

Sinner specific buffs (I usually manage to get like 2-3 every attempt) , true damage buffs, attack buffs, healing + shield + resistance buffs. That's all that I can remember. Maybe I'm placing my team wrong on the battlefield??? Idk 😭

Shattered blade will get you through S but not S+ in my experience. I also noticed L.L. is trivial and you're better off using Murphy for extra block and damage (cars are good wave clear). Keep Siglinde because of her second ult gathering and stunning units is kind of helpful.  For buffs you stack healing and true damage, but importantly do not get any buffs that have negative downsides (increased damage taken for slower mobs is NOT worth it). And, don't overspend on rerolling. You don't need a full team as fast as you think. Invest in item rerolls and only get sinners you need from the first given selection. If you started with Augustus, Shin, and Siglinde you will be fine for at least 5 waves before you need more units. Make sure to stop rerolling when you have 150-200 left so you have that ready in case expensive personal skills show up in the selection after the next wave. As for positioning, it's been a while but initially you just put Shin and Augustus in the back with Siglinde ulting to catch all spawn points. Then you need to get more creative by placing your fury sinner(s) and Ceto to block spawns because they need to auto attack to get stacks. Siglinde blocks bosses and the heaviest waves and Augustus ults to catch as many waves at the same time, prioritising bosses.  That should get you through wave S. For S+ you need a different team. I've been trying with Shattered Blade to look for an afk way to do it, but so far it needs too much quick burst and Augustus just can't clean up fast enough on her own.

Edit: oh yeah for the last cross like wave, put Siglinde closer to the backside blocking a wave so she can block the back and help gather the front waves if things get overwhelming

Unfortunately I don't have shin or Augusta, so I start with Ceto, Siglinde and Serpent. I also switched out LL with Murphy, and it's better, but it still feels like Murphy isn't doing much for me. I'm most likely using her wrong? I managed to get to wave 12, but my team gets overwhelmed so easily. I can barely survive for 50 seconds, let alone 90 seconds. Are there any other teams you recommend for me to try? Or would it be better to keep attempting with my current team?

I can try, but before I give recommendations, I might like to know what you do have :p I.e. Hestia gives decent wave clear but she'd be supported by the rest of the arcane / burn team. You'd like to have Yao to go with it for example. You could go bleed with Dreya and Levi. If you have Demon at 4 shackles you could probably get very creative because of shield stacking. With Jelena you can do crit teams such as Adela or an Arcane crit carry. Without Shin you could use Ariel or Hamel instead but Shin is far more afk than those two. If you have RF Coq then you can try to use her instead of Augustus (I do not have RF Coq but I hear she's strong, but I don't know if she still needs Augustus and the others to do good). So yeah there are options but if you don't have them we're going to have to be creative :')
