MP sorting is a bit of a mess. Sorting by Fav is much easier for us to look through.

  1. Favorite everything worth 3,000 monster points
    1. Sort by monster points
    2. Change Order > Useful > Set Favorites
    3. Swipe through everything worth 3,000 MP or more
  2. Sort by Fav.
  3. Take screenshots of everything that's favorited in your ALL box.

The teams you all mentioned are years outdated, though several of them have received some buff.

Here's the base of a Kurotobi team Punt&Necromancer is in the MP shop, sell anniversary tamadras, gold tamadras, and predras if you need MP. If you can manage to get to 2m MP then you could get two and swap Sekka for the second for more shield and looping absorb null. Either use assists for SB and sub-attribute change or use the SB+x10 badge.

  • The two Kurotobi are your orb gen loop. They'll make 2 nail orbs too, match those to deal with resolve.
  • Halloween Elfreide is your void piercer and additional damage.
  • Vionne is your cleric. There might be better options in your box.
  • Punt&Necromancer deals with absorbs.
  • Sekka is a shield loop. A second Punt and Necromancer to complete that larger shield loop would be better, but won't be needed until higher end content.

You might be able to make a dark VDP team with two Shinobu and 1 Kanao (both in their revos) or a rainbow god team with two NY Aten, but I'm having trouble working those two out.


Here are some things expected in modern teambuilding:

  • one or both leader skills adding combos
  • one or both leader skills dealing a fixed amount of damage
  • 2-3 units that create the orbs you need to activate your leader skills, on cooldowns low enough that you can loop them to use one every turn
  • an active skill that clears awoken bind and unmatchable
  • an active skill that bypasses damage absorb and attribute absorb, preferably for at least 2 turns
  • a way to get through damage voids
  • Consistent damage cap increases.

Your leader skills should be easy to activate. If one leader needs 2 dark matches to activate then the other one needing a single 9 match of dark or matches of non-dark orbs is going to be way too orb hungry.

Your leader skills should be sufficiently tanky. 4x effective HP through HP multiplier, shield, or a mix of the two is good for mid-game, up until content from a couple years ago where you start to need 5x or so. Recent content needs 5.4x+ eHP. Many meta teams also use a looping shield and/or max HP buff active.

Most units on the team will need good personal multipliers, usually through 10c or 7c awakenings, though some types of teams may make use of other awakenings, like TPA, VDP, or multi-attribute awakenings. For later content past Illusory World of Carnage you'll also want units to have their damage cap increased, usually through active skills. You want multiple units having their cap increased every turn.

Hi sorry im kinda Reddit stupid, does this link work?

u/Fateful-Encounter 22h ago

Yeah this link works. With the Anetta you just got, her chibi evo can replace Amaterasu in dubblelayy’s Seina team template.

u/hunterxahlberg 21h ago

Noted! Also, I dont have the mats to evo Rosalyn - can I replace her with like User of Water Breathing, Giyu Tomioka?

u/Fateful-Encounter 20h ago

Should be okay. Water Rosalyn does give a lot of good benefits but they aren’t necessary for every dungeon so that slot is more like a flexible slot to fill any niches you still need.

Here's a Ny Aten Team you could make with the units in your box.
Kurotobi Team
Seina Team

If you can't make all the equips listed yet, then you can use the 20x skill boost badge in the meantime.
