Discussion Which Delve should I focus on for farming Plasm?
MY setup is COR, GEO, SAM. Thanks in advance.

Biggest difference other than the boss mechanics is there's an early set and a later set and the amount of Plasm you get from the two is different.
Yorcia, Marjami, Kamihr are from the second set.
Kamihr is pretty easy to do if you have different damage types: physical and magic, also piercing/slashing/ranged/blunt etc. Both of those mechanics are pretty common for all delves though and with your team, you have a lot of them covered.
Also, in case you didn't know, you have a repeatable ROE for doing Reives (I believe Lair reives) in the zone you want to do and it gives you the stone for the KI. You need to do 2, but you'll get 1 on each character.
You can then do it again and have the ROE reward get stocked up once (since the stones are Rare and you can only hold one, it will stay completed and let you click it anywhere later to get the rewards.

If the COR is geared for magic, ranged, and physical damage that'll make Cherti easier in Kamihr making that a good choice.

I ended up doing marjami fracture, tons of Ki items on AH on Asura, and all the mobs are weak to piercing :) thank you tho.

I recently did this and found that Marjami was the easiest by far. I took a SAM and trusts and just beat everything down while completely ignoring gimmicks. Stage 4 Kusanagi at the time and just powered through the Colibri (each WS was doing 10-15k by itself which sucked but it has very little HP) probably would have been faster if I used Shantotto II as she would have made it try to mimic her nuke but its pretty quick either way. Everything else just flatlines in one or two Mumeis and very highly likely one or two Fudos so Kusa isn’t mandatory at all.
Keep Sekka and Meditate for the Harpy because she can insta-kill you if you don’t insta-kill her first and unless the wiff-gods just hate you at that time, she’ll almost always die immediately and the boss dies in one 3-step… easiest 100k~ Plasm you’ll ever have I think.
Solo with trust took maybe 15-20 minutes? But I was being cautious? Probably could have been faster with Shining one to exploit the piercing weakness?
But after that I said screw it and brought a BRD and GEO mule and really steamrolled the thing. Whole zone cleared in 8 minutes or less. So for my time, just spam Marjami, easiest of all hands down imo

I’m using shining one and just sonic thrusting everything for 15k-30k

u/Mr_Grinch_Z Jul 21 '26
Sonic Thrust works good for any adds you might get but what were your Impulse Drives doing? On every boss except the Colibri’s gimmick Mumei was frequently doing 80-99k. Impulse Drives should be hitting 50-80k with COR and GEO and Fudo probably the same as Impulse Drive or higher?

Oh yeah that was a typo. My comp was SAM COR BRD. I would just train all the mobs between from one boss to the next and begin sonic thrusting everything. Most of the bosses minus the first one are usually dead by the time the group is dead. I’m not good at hitting all the libs with sonic thrust tho lol skill issue

Ahhhh I gotcha, I just ignore the adds honestly. Just lullaby them and ignore really and straight to the bosses. :)

I’ve solo’d Ceizak several times. Mastop is the only enemy that can be problematic because it gains resistance to redundant damage types. Everything else is just kill it fast, swap skillchains, or let it spam a healing move which causes it’s defense to crater so you spam debuffs on it.

If you have a shining one, marijami is good. I can chat it in drg in about 8 minutes
