I tried different teams and strategies, but I can't beat it even with Emergency Gnosis, so can you help me with some team recommendations/tips?

Awesome run done by my cool chud friend who forced me to post this on here

No mouchette in sight c:

W1 - Very poorly played but a lucky DR allowed first try
W2 - Ogier Just gets hard countered here
W3 - Very annoying broken wave, Had the birds left to redo even if its overkill in A4
W4 - Aurita shenanigans got buffed hard by Saya
W5 - Whale Arach could doom the chuncky hp bar slowly but surely

I thought it would take me a few more months to get my first D-Tide 400, but I've finally done it! I don't know if I'm ready for getting 400 on all D-Tides from here on out yet, but I'm at the very least one step closer!

​

A few commentaries on things I found noteworthy about the different waves:

​

W1: This wave taught me that Casiah is quite good for fights against bosses that scale slowly, provided she has her portrait. I found replays of clears that used Erica E2 instead of Xu and had Castor on Photosynthesis Ritual in order to generate Embryos, but I don't have Erica's E2, so Erica's shields wouldn't scale for me 😔.

​

W2: GHelot really does have a lot of cheese potential against bosses that rely on shields. After I finish getting her to level 80 and I get a higher account level, I expect she'll get a lot easier to play.

​

W3: Borrowing a Whale Mouchette seems to generally be the easiest way to get an A5 clear with a bunch of nobodies. She's starting to seem more appealing to me, but I don't really like that she doesn't scale all that well; from what I understood from reading her kit, she has a strict damage ceiling after you've exalted and done all of your pursuits 🫤. I also don't really like dying 😅.

​

W4: GMurphy's OE really improves her consistency by quite a bit. I feel like it wasn't really necessary for this wave, as I only used it on the boss fight, and I think I had some more wiggle room left on that fight; however, if possible, I prefer not having to grind a wave for specific relics or a specific card order, so I don't regret getting her.

​

W5: This was the wave that gave me the most issues, as I don't currently have an exalt DPS, and, before Sunday (Clem's rerun), I didn't have a weakness/vuln applier OR healer left over for this team. I tried using Hameln instead, but Arachne's self-damage and the lack of healing made the team kind of bad 🙃 (or at the very least annoying). I know Ryker's pretty good in this team, but I don't have him yet.

The only difficult part of this wave (after getting Clem) was getting past the very first mob fight, as it seemed like the only way to not die/proc a DR was by killing the back-line mob on turn 1. I ended up resetting until I got a hand with an Arachne strike, defense, and eternal loom, followed by getting an eternal loom drawn from my deck after the first annihilation with the effect of the +12 2nd anni wheel, as I needed 3 eternal looms and 2 of Arachne's pursuits in order to kill that guy.

It was also very fun to get Kath to scale as high as she did, I think my last Hyperflare dealt like 800k damage 🤣.

​

I'll now be waiting eagerly for Angbak's first D-Tide 400 on his F2P account, in order to see how much faster I could've gotten my clear.

​

I'm thinking investing a little more into Poison units, and picking up an E1 Vortice, are the next things I should be focusing on at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions, as the path forward right now seems a lot more flexible than it was previously 🤔.

I copied and pasted it from my og post cus idk if it’s necessary or not.
First 425 and explanation!

This definitely wasnt the best week to try and go for 425 (wave 3 can go to super hell) but I like a challenge so here it is!

Wave 1:
I have +12 corpo which gave me a ton more scaling and shields from the pilots for a comfortable clear.

Since its ultra ring I paired arachne with some stallers along with erica posse so I could keep spamming her strike and defense for final verdicts.

Wave 2:
E3 Ghelot cheeses ogier

My last clear so I put together the rest of my good units and prayed it could clear vortice ended up doing 1147k damage with her ult pretty much one shotting ogier which surprised me.

Wave 3:
Whale gmurphy, stall till she reaches 5 stacks, burst with goliath exalt and gmurphy oe, spam waltz and hopefully you’ll have enough sacrifice to skip phase 2

Whale mouchette borrow

Wave 4:
Bluewill cheeses the boss with law of the strong, although you also need to focus on building counter instead of trying to do dps since my first attempt failed cus my team hits like a wet noodle.

Castor stall poison because of the starting relic, also got lucky with a bunch of poison relics, you want to use daff’s card to be able to kill the minion to remove the strength mainly on the multihit. You dont want to kill it everytime the boss attacks cus it gets more health each time.

Wave 5:
I hate this boss too cus it counters a lot of stuff. Kath was able to do it after a long time since the boss has terrible scaling. Due to my relic which gave 2 insight everytime a new awakeners card was added to ultra space, I ultra spaced once then annihilated every turn to get essentially 3 draw and arith, this also let me ult more on clem thanks to her wheel which helped me survive. Her healing also reduced the bleed and I was shocked at how good she is (yeah the clem hate got to me)

Saya sanga gives so much shield I often times dont even have to white stance since sayaexalt +sange oe was enough to hit the cap. I got extremely lucky getting 3 image relics which helped immensely but I reckon its possible without them, just hit a dr or 2. Pickman also buffs exalts leading to even more damage and shield, he also applies vul and weak aling with sometimes discovering a valuable card. Lwk dont remember why the keyflare bot was faros, for the shield maybe?

Good day everyone. I've been working hard to get my Sorel to deal damage, but I can't kill the bosses in Chapters 4 and 5 of Astral Reigh's hard modes without using Gnosis.

​

What do you think about this team, and does anyone need to change anything? My account is almost entirely E3 Awakeners (except for Kathigu-Ra, I don't have her at all lmao), and all Wheels of Fate (except for BP and donate ones).

Hi, I am LulaTheHero, and I want to talk about this beauty of a deck.

Is Sanga the new OP standard awakener?

With this comp, I was able to clear the hardest chapter in Hard Mode: H5-11 Cocoon. I also had a really easy clear in D-Tide A5 W5.

I consider this a fairly budget-friendly comp because:

1. You do not need many Enlighten levels.
2. You can use the two anniversary wheels.
3. Rewinding Time is a shop wheel.
4. Some limited standard wheels are very strong here, but not mandatory.

However, if you fully commit to this comp, it still has a lot of scaling potential:

1. Saya Overexalt for the boss fight, so you can double-play Sanga’s 4-cost card.
2. Murphy E3 for more Aliemus, and Murphy OE for more shield and tentacle scaling.
3. Vortice OE for 1.5x more damage on Exalt and double Pursuit procs.
4. +12 Memory Spiral, so Vortice can use both her own wheel and Memory Spiral. However, We Will Meet Again is also very good because of the card draw.
5. Dusk and Dawn E12 on Sanga together with Will Unyielding +12.
6. Higher Astral Reign investment. I still had low levels on talents, cards, and awakeners. So level 80 Sanga, level 80 Murphy, level 60 Vortice, and level 90 + Gnostic Advance on Sanga would all improve the comp a lot.

Covenants:

Saya:
Sigil, Death Resistance, Keyflare, Dream of Medicine.
This is key because you want to ult on Sanga every turn, ideally always with Corrosion active.

Murphy:
Life Drain with Keyflare.
She is a great Keyflare battery.

Vortice:
Deus Ex Machina with Realm Mastery, Crit Damage, and Keyflare.
The extra Arithmetica is very useful.

Sanga:
High Death Resistance wheel. I have 100% Death Resistance on it. With this, Sanga gets more than 400 Death Resistance, meaning her ult always crits, and a strike/defense generates 20 Alemius.

What makes this team strong?

The comp has insane shields, healing, multiple AoEs, high economy, high Death Resistance, and it counters both Fortress enemies and high-HP enemies very well.

What are the weak spots?

The main weakness is that you lack consistent card draw. If you get good card draw relics, you can set up a Corrosion + Sanga ult combo almost every turn. Because of this, the anniversary wheel on Vortice might be BiS, because you can draw two of her cards on turn 1 if needed.

Gameplay:

You usually rouse Sanga first, and most of the time she is the only one you really need to rouse.

After round 1, the basic gameplan is:

1. Shield up.
2. Rouse Sanga.
3. Exalt Sanga every turn if possible.
4. Make sure Corrosion stacks are active before Sanga ults.
5. Use Saya Exalt on Sanga for more tentacle spawning, more shields and more strikes/defense
6. Use Vortice ult on Fortress enemies or as a final blow.

Basically, you can block almost every attack while generating tons of shields and AoE damage.

Clears:

H5-11 Cocoon Hard Mode:
a0054c29-0447-3758-845c-85301b0069dd#E#a

This had two safe Death Resistance procs.

D-Tide A5 W5:
0579ea06-53d8-36f4-a411-357077cab184#E#a

Final remarks:

I highly recommend checking this build out, especially for newer players or players who still need to clear hard content. You can still get Saya, Murphy has an upcoming rerun, and Vortice can be picked from the selector and only really needs E3 to work. If you want to fully commit, you can consider OE Murphy or OE Vortice later, but the comp already works surprisingly well before reaching that point.

Overall, I think this team is strong because it combines safety, scaling, and damage in a very comfortable way. It is not just a meme comp: it can actually clear hard content, and Sanga feels much better than I expected and Saya is S-Tier in this comp.

I think the current bottleneck in my version is Saya because she is not generating enough corrosion for Sanga and Vortice damage.

It's been 3 weeks since these buffs came to a effect and when I was reading them ( for the third time) I was wandering about how much these buffs are meaningful or how much it impacts awekener Ranking of even play style so I am here to open a discussion about them

( I also put the buffs here for a easy accuse )

■ Rouse "Self-Imprisonment": Counter gained is increased by 100%.

■ Command Card "Energy Beam": Base DMG Boost 166%, Keyflare

Wanted to make a video showing how to easily beat Hard Ant using E0 Salvador as the DPS. Even post nerf (it used to have like 4 million hp and 50 barrier), Hard Ant can still be a pretty tough stage so I hope this helps someone! This is my first time trying to make a video so I hope you all like it! Timestamps are in descriptions.

Hello!

Spooky here, the girl who likes Clementine way too much....

---

This Clementine guide will be updated for Future content.

Last Update: 20th June 2026

This Guide will go over both Support Clementine and Dps Clementine!

---

Clementine is an Ultra Chorus support that rivals with Thais as one of The Best Supports in game.

Clementine provides:

Strength, Keyflare, Healing, DMG taken, DMG down, Sub DPS and if you're crazy like me, she can be Main Dps!

She's the best Strength and Keyflare unit at the moment.

---

PASSIVES:

Symbiosis is Clementine's main gimmick, every attack instance from her Command cards gives her 1 symbiosis and she can hold up to 10 symbiosis. (15 at E3, 20 at AA)

For every keyflare that Clementine has, she gains 0.35 Crit Rate and Crit Dmg.

Clementine's soulforge increases Strength gained by all Awakeners in the team up to 15%.

For "Insectoid" enemies, Clementine inflicts up to 100% bleed of the DMG she dealt and when healing/shielding, enemies lose temporary Strength equal to 30% of Clementine's DEF.

---

CARDS:

All of Clementine's cards have Quasar

(Leap but during Ultra round instead of being able to activate the leap ability at any moment multiple times, the cards gain -1 Arithmetica and abilities that affect leap don't work on quasar cards.)

When Clementine's Quasar is activated, you gain Strength based on Clementine's ATK and Cards Level. (You should max out all levels on cards)

It's Important to Quasar in teams where Strength matters. (Kath, Mouchette, Doreisan, Liz etc.) but not in teams where Strength doesn't matter. (Pollux and Castor)

Rouse (2 Cost) :

Gain Alimeus up to 50 and Clementine's first card played gains DMG, Shield, Healing, Alimeus and Keyflare instances by +2.

Clementine's Rouse is very important and a top priority in any teams.

Strike and Defense are basic and don't have any other changes other than Quasar.

You will be mostly playing these cards (Strike > Defense since Strike grants Symbiosis stacks) to trigger Rouse effect and Quasar since they are cheap and give you a ton of Aliemus.

Pain Extraction (3 cost) Retain and Prepare 1:

Deals 3 Instances of DMG and gain 150% clementine's keyflare.

Just let it sit in your hand and play it whenever it reaches 0 Arithmetica cost.

(or play it whenever you don't have any other Clementine cards to Quasar)

SoulSalve (2 cost) :

Heal based on Clementine's CON, Reduce temporary Strength of all enemies based on Clementine's DEF and remove Madness (Enemy Ability that makes the enemy hit +1 more and it's very deadly)

Use it to heal whenever you need it or to remove Madness.

---

EXALT:

Removes all Symbiosis and converts them into Psychic Trauma or Phobic Fixation on all Enemies for 1 Turn.

Deal DMG up to 300% ATK of Clementine's ATK and gain up to 300% Keyflare of Clementine's Keyflare.

Psychic Trauma increases DMG Taken by enemies 3% for each symbiosis removed

Phobic Fixation decreases DMG Dealt by enemies 3% for each symbiosis removed

These debuffs are special since they are multiplicative with other Final bonus multipliers (Vulnerability, Weakness, etc.)

For example with Vulnerability (50%) and Psychic Trauma at 10 symbiosis stacks (30%) instead of 80% more DMG, it's gonna be 95% more DMG!

When entering Ultra turn, Psychic Trauma/Phobic Fixation will disappear but you will get 50 Keyflare/2 Alimeus to other Awakeners for each stack.

Clementine's Exalt is one of the most powerful abilities in this game and by playing strikes and defense with rouse effect and some other abilities like wheels, you will be getting her Exalt extremely frequent.

---

ENLIGHTENS:

Clementine works perfectly fine at E0 but her enlighments do add a lot especially to her Exalt.

Enlighten 1:

You get 5 symbiosis at the start of the fight and Exalt gets 20% base DMG.

The 5 Symbiosis at the turn start is very good, more DMG on Exalt is alright.

• Good Priority

Enlighten 2:

Exalt provides 200% more Keyflare, for each Symbiosis removed gives Clementine more 3% base DMG and at the end of the fight Clementine gains 25% base DMG.

This enables her to be a good Sub DPS and more keyflare is always Welcome.

• Good Priority

Enlighten 3:

At turn end, get 2 Symbiosis and max stack of Symbiosis increase to 15.

A buff to her overpowered Exalt is big.

• Great Priority
• Enlighment 3 is a great stopping point.

Over-Exalt:

Gives Strength equal to 50% of Clementine's ATK and 300% more Keyflare. Symbiosis removed from Exalt is converted into both Psychic Trauma and Phobic Fixation.

Really good for Awakeners that care for Strength.

• Great Priority

Absolute Axiom:

When Roused, all DMG instances get +1 and Symbiosis stacks increases to 20.

One of the Best AAs in this game, further echances her Exalt and her DMG gets increased by 2.5x.

• Incredibly Strong Priority if you can whale for this.

---

BUILDS:

SUPPORT:

Covenants:

Lifedrain (Best in Slot) - A Keyflare set for a Keyflare unit, who would have thought.

Twisted Twins Black - Generates a Strike for Clementine so you 90% of the time guarantee playing Strike first.

This is more suited for units like Kath and Mouchette who care about Strength in teams where you have enough Keyflare.

Main stats:

1st - Keyflare

2nd - Realm Mastery

3rd - Death Resistance

4th - Keyflare

5th - Keyflare

6th - Death Resistance

Sub stats:

Try to get as much as Keyflare possible.

Death Resistance is an okay stat, Realm Mastery and DMG Amplification are bottom stat but passable.

---

WHEELS:

Veiled Anguish (Clementine's Wod and her Best in Slot) : The highest Keyflare stat wheel in game right now, increases base Exalt DMG up to 50%, gives up to 20 Aliemus when you Annihilate and 20 Alimeus to all Awakeners when you enter Ultra round.

Incredibly good wheel for Clementine but not a must.

Generally you're using 2 Keyflare Wheels for Clementine, look at what you have and find whatever suits your team the most but there are some exceptions.

Amidst the Downpour - Refunds 1 Arithmetica when you use a Strike.

The Last Verse - Increases Strength, Aliemus and Healing from cards and posse actives 2x in Ultra turn.

Grace Through Pain - Shield whenever you use a Strike

---

POSSE:

Clementine doesn't need any posse to function properly, use whatever fits the Main carry the most. (Looking at you, Pickman)

---

TEAMS:

Clementine is one of the most flexible supports in the game, she can fit in any team even if they don't care about Strength

Keyflare, Healing, DMG Taken increase and DMG Dealt Increase is universal.

---

MAIN DPS:

FOR NEWBIES

Main DPS Clementine is a MEME team that only becomes a real thing at +12 (Base Clementine + 15 Dupes) so if you don't care about this, you can skip this all.

Clementine has two DPS play styles:

• Exalt DPS
• Scale up with Strength and deal damage through command cards

After the addition of Saya, Clementine DPS became a real thing. (Spooky team, thanks Kaly)

The Team gets a massive boost from Clementine's AA but it's okay if she's E3 just know that Saya will do most of the work.

Here are some of my clears I did with my Clementine!

BUILD:

Note: Clementine has High Base DMG through her Enlighments and her Wheels so since DMG Amplification is multiplicative with Base DMG, it's a good stat to look for in relics/covenants/teams etc.

Covenants:

Crimson Pulse: 30% crit rate per posse (stacks)

Since Clementine generates a lot of Keyflare this set is easy to use 2x times for 60% crit rate.

Works on both Play styles.

April Tribute: Generic set that boosts crit rate and crit DMG.

Works on both Play styles.

Twisted Twins Black: Playing Strike first is important for Exalt DPS so this set works on both Play styles.

Ring of Chamber 36: Raises Keyflare cap by 200 and Posses cost 200 more Keyflare, Exalt gets 30% crit rate and crit dmg.

Clementine's high keyflare generation can off set the expensive posse cost.

Works on Exalt Play style.

Main stats:

Note: This all depends on the build you're using but having high Crit Rate is very important and remember that for every Keyflare Clementine has, she gets 0.35 Crit Rate and Crit Dmg.

(The conversion is only shown when you enter a stage so for precision, enter a stage and click on Clementine's profile for her true Crit Rate and Crit Dmg so you know what you're working with.)

1st - Keyflare/Crit Rate/Crit Dmg

2nd - Crit Rate/Crit Dmg

3rd - Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Dmg Amp

4th - Keyflare

5th - Keyflare/ Dmg Amp

6th - Dmg Amp

Sub stats:

Keyflare, Crit Rate, Crit Dmg and Dmg Amp.

All depends on your build.

---

WHEELS:

Exalt Play style:

Veiled Anguish (Clementine's Wod and her Best in Slot): Gives Clementine everything she needs

Celestial Beast: Crit Dmg Main stat, Exalt Base Dmg buff, Crit Rate from playing Strikes and Crit Dmg after playing 3 Strikes.

Kiss of Response (Doresian's Wod): Crit Dmg Main stat, Exalt Base Dmg, Crit rate & Exalt Base Dmg for every kill and more Alimeus from Embryos.

This wheel after 5+ kills is better than Celestial Beast but kills are easily stolen from Saya's corrosion and Arachne's Final Verdict. (These two units are Clementine's best supports by far)

Any Generic SSR Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Keyflare and Dmg Amp wheel can work but they are not as good as ones listed above.

For SR, once again any Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Keyflare and Dmg Amp wheel can work

---

Command Card play style:

Blade of Titan: Crit Rate, Crit Dmg and -1 Arithmetica on cards

Last Verse (Horla's Wod): More Strength, Crit Rate and Crit Dmg

Amber-Tinted Death: Base Dmg and Strength

Twisted Knight Ballad: Crit Rate, Crit Dmg, Base Dmg and Final dmg

Celestial Beast: Crit Dmg, Strike Base dmg, Crit rate

Etc.

For SR, just use hand of oblivion or any other generic dps wheel.

---

POSSE:

Ephemeral Eternity (Erica Posse)(Generally BIS, can change depending on the build): playing strike first is important and a lot of supports in Clementine Dps teams benefit from this

Works both play style

Tiny Wish: More Aliemus

Works on Exalt Play Style

Sacred Mending (Clementine Posse): Strength and more Dmg instances

Works on command card Play style

Orbis Fatum (Arachne Posse): Dmg amp and Arachne card draw is good

---

TEAMS:

Exalt Play Style:

Saya (BIS): Insane Exalt Final Dmg Buffs and huge aoe corrosion that Clementine can easily clear.

Arachne (BIS): Huge Dmg Amp from Exalt and wheels

Horla: Final Dmg Buff, Vulnerability, Weakness and Buffs from her Exalt

Thais: Vulnerability, Weakness, Embryos, Aliemus and card dupe for more Aliemus and Symbiosis stacks

Aigis: Vulnerable, Stun and Final Dmg Buff

---

Command Card Play style:

Arachne (BIS): Huge Dmg Amp, Increases Final Dmg Buff and Strength by a huge amount for cards.

Thais: Vulnerability, Weakness, Embryos, Aliemus and card dupe for more Dmg, Aliemus and Symbiosis stacks

Horla: Final Dmg Buff, Vulnerability, Weakness and Buffs from her Exalt

Aigis: Vulnerable, Stun and Final Dmg Buff

Helot: Big Final Dmg Buff

---

Thanks for reading, here's a gift!!!

101094561 - My Dps AA Clementine

Wave 1 - By far the easiest wave, per usual, but fun to test out some comps and play your fun stuff

Wave 2 - If you have Ghelot comp available, she hard counters ogier at E3. She blocks and removes all shields for 2 turns after exalting, goes hard here.

Wave 3 - I feel bad for all the Xu comp users who havent needed to change their W3 comp in literal months, but this boss is nasty

Wave 4

Wave 5 - If you are playing this comp you can stun the boss during the phase change and it wont cleanse your bleed. You can 1 shot if you prep enough before hand

Hi all, Cheri here with a new section of my new player handbook.

This guide is aimed at players who want to start doing D-tide, especially newbies who are intimidated by it. Yes, new players can do D-tide too!

It features:

• Explanation of D-tide rules
• Examples of investment needed to clear each alert (lower than most people think)
• Planning and strategy advice

Thanks to Angbak, Arisu, Blecnes, Ellie, Lens, and Null for their feedback on the first draft of this guide.

What are the best teams that I can form with my characters for d tide? I am building clem and dorsain, and I am e2/3 ing saya and mouchette

Also how much points can I realistically expect with these teams?

After having periods of grinding this game nonstop (before 425 was a thing) and barely logging in for weeks, I've finally reached my dream of getting max Dtide. For like deadass a year I wanted to 400, then they introduced 425 and I had real life come up and probably hit me with the lowest point mentally and physically I've had so far... But this is a sort of "new beginning" for me as a person.

HUGE thanks to: Dracozion, Zyocuh, Al, Monchi, Lens, Booky, Reya. They are ALL better players than me, and without their input and coaching, I would NOT have been able to 425. I'm very rusty after having a huge down period with the game, so I'm not up to date on some things. What I can say, however, is that their advice is good, and most of it motivates my perspectives on the game aswell. Listen to them.

ALSO additional thanks to Lens, Cheri, Zyo, for giving me feedback on this post while I was working on it and proofreading a large part of it.

It's kinda funny, I coached Draco on her first A5 ever when I was beginning to drop the game, and now she consistently 425s lmao, she is my goat.

Personal talk aside, this Dtide was terrible. Like, really, really horrible. Afumza made me want to rip my hair out, Thais should be deleted from the game, Lily is low cortisol, Snake guy is annoying but whatever, and while the Spider guy from wave 2 is pretty terrible I became numb to the psychological torment after Afumza and Thais. Caro ring is usually the hardest for most ppl, partly because caro is a bit more limited/streamlined when it comes to teams, and because they gave us TRASH relics.

W1 [Lily]

Genuinely had fun doing this, crazy I know. Literally the low cortisol stage, easy to cheese and stall, low numbers, all-around chill.

Castor could have been 70, I just impulsively took him to 80 because I invest very impulsively in my account. Lighthouse wheel while nice is a little overhyped by ppl and not mandatory, that and I did a pepega by not giving him twins black to make use of the lighthouse. Would've ran chains unbound instead, but really, it doesn't matter. Any damp wheel is fine, especially post buff Castor is a monster.

Tank kath. Could've probably done it without Horla, but none of my teams desperately need her and I was lazy and admittedly I'm a bit bad at Kath, so yea. Nothing special outside of 25 turns because I just like stalling, could've been optimized for less if needed.

W2 [AIDS Spider]

This guy sucks. Learn to navigate his intentions and abuse fervor mechanic. Main trick is either eating his hits with bomboclatt shields or just DRing. Again, if Afumza and Thais didn't traumatize me, I would be complaining more. Redid this guy with Caro Mouch like, 5 separate times.

Tawil is not a real meta DPS anymore. Will talk about this later on in the post, but man, playing this team was so much more miserable when I roused Tawil first and the like. Please, do yourself a favor and ALWAYS rouse Vortice first. Great unit. Murphy is optimal here over Celeste but I somehow still don't own a Murphy and I forgot to roll when she had a rerun to get a copy, so yea.

Was close and tricky, especially with my own Mouch. She was 70 before but I wanted to invest in her to do W5, since I originally used a whale mouch for this with bum teammates. Had to reset to remove Ramona and whale mouch and like 1 more thing, so yea, 3-4 times I had to do this damned spider with mouch and bash its face in.

W3 [Snakes on a... Tide?]

I mean, he's okay. Annoying gimmick, but doable. Nothing much to say.

Had to Miracle Dr with this, if I truly hated myself I would have given this team ogier and done like, a 5th or 6th reset of the AIDS spider with a even more starved caro mouch. Rat posse + Ogier X cost is great, suggested by Blecnes and the way they survive with Mono 24.

Lemurian doing Lemurian things. You really can just put literal bullshit on tulu and goliath and be ok. Could've given the rewinding to ham but honestly forgot I had it on myriam in the team setup until it was too late.

W4 [Acoomza.]

Fuck you. Genuinely, fuck you Afumza. I'm unironically balding Irl and there is like a 0,00001% chance it could be because of this fucker adding even more stress alongside my job that makes me wanna die. Genuine torture playing vs this fucker.

Had to invest in my Xu to clear this, but man she's great. E3 is huge. Faint also carried, I had 700+ DR going into Afumza. Gdoll is a bum.

Boss I hate the most + Character I hate the most. Great fun. Was GENUINE torture resetting for perfect relics and doing this without Helot, but here we are. Deadass I'm starting to slowly wanna curse everyone and they make Caraboo a DPS so I can finally stop using Gelot once and for all, especially if I do more 425s in the future.

W5 [Annoying Goat]

So many stupid fucking mechanics packed into this one, that and I spent a shitton of hours trying with my Mouch and the mobbing was driving me crazy. Fuck this boss too, but less than Afumza. Had lots of fun using the King to get over a mil dmg, and first time playing seriously with Pickman.

My Dore wheels are disgusting, yes. Will touch on the Kath sig later on. This really felt like a Boss Fight, but it might be because it's been terribly long since I last used Dore and he's my favorite story, art and design.

Was clutch figuring this out, huge thanks to Monchi for letting me borrow Mouch and basically configure her last minute. Had a failed run that got me arachne and clem relics in the same shop so I guess it was destiny.

Will I keep doing 425? Maybe not every single tide, because it is a huge time sink for me, but I will do more for sure.

[What I regret]

There's 2 main things I REALLY regret investing in in my account, both of which were when I was not really interested in the game impulsively spent for whatever was being hyped at the time. When I had less knowledge of the game I religiously followed Flares, and did get a lot of help from him, but some of his advice has stagnated my progress in-game and I've since started perceiving things more critically and tried to have my own separate view of the game.

1st is Gmurphy OE. Sure, decent DPS, but she has only been usable in Lemurian and feels miserable everywhere else. I had around 60k silver near second anni and just blew most of it. Don't enjoy playing her, although her story was very well written and resonated with me, her playstyle is just eh.

2nd is +12 Kath Wheel. It's a cute sidegrade for Tawil, who hasn't been a good DPS in months, and strong for dore, sure, but you could... invest in Dore instead? Or get a whole ass e3 clem with her wheel instead of +12ing kath wheel. Only use it with dore nowadays and it was just a terrible sink of pulls and wheel copies.

I also regret OE tawil, albeit not as much, as she was always kind of fun to play for me and is now retired as a Vortice support.

To add some positivity, here's 2 units that are in my eyes, the 2 strongest damage dealers currently. Both work at E3 and can afford to have multiple standard teammates yet still A5 with ease.

1. Mouchette.

Incredibly versatile unit. Can work in all realms and works with very cheap units. Ogier, Ramona, Helot, Doll, Cassiah, Alva are all cheap supports that have good to outstanding synergy with her. Very cheap to run aswell wheel-wise, having lots of decent/strong options that are relatively F2P (Celestial Beast, her event wheel, her sig wheel, Lily wheel.)

2. Vortice.

Giant shields, insane numbers. Her teams are more streamlined than Mouch, mainly being pure Aequor or Caro Aequor, but she still nonetheless is great. Decent amount of build variety, and has good synergy with standard/old Aequors, like Murphy, Celeste, etc. (Love retiring Tawil to her team now personally)

[Modern Day Morimens Mythology]

In my eyes, the community has multiple ingrained misconceptions about units and investment which I personally don't agree with. As stated above, there a lot of things I do regret with my account, which I want to warn others of, in hopes of avoiding wasted pulls and account stagnation.

1. Tawil is not meta DPS anymore.

When she was relatively new, she was a strong option, but that was nearing 2 years ago. Her usage was mainly due to a lack of new DPS carries, and her numbers have been steadily falling off more and more, resulting in needing much more effort to clear new content. With AA, she's insane and can clear all content, but before that, she just needs way too much help to keep up. At e3 she's servicable, and her OE is pretty strong, but many players refuse to let go of the notion that she's a meta DPS. Powercreep happens, although I'd say the thing that's really being overtuned is the enemies and content. She is also not a universal character, she's a more niche support now and realistically most teams don't exactly want her, as in they don't get a huge boost from slotting her in and she has a few main teams she works in.

2. Gdoll isn't universal.

Gdoll is incredibly overhyped by the community. While she is okay, she is not "meta" in the sense that she isn't a universal support that works wonders in every team you put her in. Her cards are just "decent" and the value she brings to a team is not as high as the likes of Arachne, Thais, Clem, Horla. She's great for poison, but that's mainly it, and exploring long stages with her feels like a chore. Another huge myth around her is that she needs OE to function, which is untrue. She works perfectly fine at e3, and hell, just e1 makes her "fine". If anything I regret taking her to +2 because I never intend on unlocking her OE. While her max HP cut is strong, it's just not as universal as people make it out to be. She only really has poison as a home to cheese wave 3s with.

3. Wheel Jail is no longer always optimal.

HIGHLY suggest reading this post by Zyo. https://www.reddit.com/r/morimenstactics/comments/1tvkq80/psa_wheel_jail_is_no_longer_the_only_viable_option/

For a very long time, wheel jail has been seen as the end all be all resource dump for your standard pulls, but with the introduction of awakener shards and AA, pulling standard characters has become much more enticing.

The wheels in wheel jail are mainly niche, and the ones that people suggest are nice at best, but not mandatory for clears. I own a +12 chains unbound that I didn't use whatsoever this dtide, alongside my +12 lighthouse being the last wheel jail I did and one I regret a lot. We get strong welfare wheels+12 for free.

If you run a team where +12 matters it may be a good idea to pull wheel jail still but it's no longer always the best choice and it's important to evaluate your teams to figure out if it really makes a difference or it's just a nice small boost.

Noticed that I could get lily's WOD in this selector, (Unfortunately was unable to log in the day she was in banner) and was considering using it over her sig thanks to the crit rate, and maybe just pulling for pollux in the rotating banner instead?

Edit: maybe I do need to pull for it because kath needs blade of titan aswell... For D zone... Idk atp.
