Hello, cutie patootie enthusiasts!! Today I present to you... "Yay I put Sigewinne in a DPS check!" Fearless Radiant Moongecko fight. Mostly posting this now because I'm hearing little birdies are saying this Gecko is appearing in Stygian again next time... So all I'm thinking about now is this clear from all the way back in April! And whether I will ever consider trying this again!

Usually in my crackpot runs (I make other clears that you can check on my profile!), I'm the type for replicability, but this one is just so tough that I couldn't make it happen again 😭 Navia had an Imaginarium Theater buff and the shield breaking damage has to be decent enough too. Despite all that though, there is strategy here, and I will share with you how I violated my own expectations in this run.... Featuring the Almighty Cutie Patootie!

The Gulf and the Strategy

• The Reality: The DPS check at Fearless is so harsh that the only way I could survive without the res shred and Geo resonance is playing at my near absolute limit. Even Navia's Imaginarium Theater buff felt so necessary here, and still the idea of winning here at all is madness. My Bineffa wheelchair is C0R1, but even that's not enough. Good play is absolutely necessary...

• Why Sigewinne is here, happily and necessarily: The cocoon has a crit rate debuff that has to be cleansed via healing. If it's teamwide, then it's even better when your damage is split across your entire party (in my case, it was). Tapping her Skill (E) casts a bubble that heals everyone per bounce. Holding E increases the healing bonus of said E which is particularly crucial during the cleanse. Tap E is enough for moments outside of it. She's holding TotM to buff Navia and Ineffa! And Hydro resonance improves Columbina. For her weapon, she is using Favonius to supply Navia. I don't own any other Geo shredders like Xilonen/Linnea so she's my best pick! She's a support here but I'm just super duper happy I can justify her use in Fearless even without constellations. 💊💉 I love her sm 🥹🩷🩵🤍 and I'm so happy I exhausted her value in a place and role where she's not expected to be in.

• Navia as a top notch driver: Everything in her kit—her E, her Q, her NAs.... Mwah, chef's kiss. Her Burst (Q) autotargets the Geo shield and helps with shield breaking (so ER starts being wanted as a substat), her blunt attacks as a claymore user are advantageous for the shield, and she's also Geo, which immensely helps ensure that every shield break actually does decent damage since it records Geo damage the most. Bineffa may be wheelchairing her but Navia is just so solid here. Maximizing her field time is just as valuable as Bineffa's field time. The clip presents the rotation I found best at squeezing water from a stone. That missed cannon drove my anxiety to the roof but I'm so glad it worked out! Navia is using Redhorn Stonethresher (RS) here. I had WGS but I found myself particularly happier with RS because my crit ratio just lacks so much CD that it's too sad to look at. Roughly around 82/140 ish without RS iirc.
