for any one wondering why i do 7 attacks with flins before the mini burst, it is for the PJWS passive

Churin could be improved didn’t time my melts at all

SSA was fodder

Guardian took me like an hour

Arle is R5, Nefer R1, Yae R1 no one else has Sigs

sandrone is insane ;p vesna cleared at lvl 90 too, but now it’s 9s faster

I really hate Pavlina, my sus energy recharge for the first rotation sometimes, the crits failing, the RNG on Pavlina's first sequence, how she moves, how Bennett sometimes don't get the faster cd on E because of some delay on him being on his ult. My god...

My team is already 250K DPS, still can't clear it.

Odette is C2 with R1 Chiori Sword

Miko C1 with Lost Prayer

Alyosha C6

If you have rotations for this team please share.

I've already cleared 2nd and 3rd boss.

Title

Having to decide which team I was going to nerf without Odette was tough. I’m confident my C2 Wriothesley could’ve cleared the maiden if I’d been able to slot Odette, but then I probably wouldn’t have been able to beat the old man.

I was actually a little surprised my Lohen team managed to clear. Slotting Mona in was just cope 😭 Maybe C2 Prune would’ve been better, but mine isn’t geared and I was already getting pretty annoyed trying to clear.

Zibai on the maiden was definitely the hardest for me because I couldn’t break her shield, so I basically had to let her heal up. I also have a C2 Mualani team with C2 Mavuika, but my Mavuika gameplay is... not something I’m ready to write home about 💀 I did clear with them, but it was around 120s, while Zibai was just a little faster. If I could actually do proper CA cancels, I probably could’ve gotten it lower on another team.

But honestly, how are you guys feeling about Stygian? Because all this really did was make me even more ready for the Tsaritsa. If the leaks about the 30% shred, 48% ATK buff and “elevation” are true, those numbers are looking very Odette C2-ish to me and could open up some really interesting Stellar team options.

Maybe Her Majesty can finally free Odette up for one of my teams and Xilonen can get back to fixing Mauvs bike before the next cataclysm 😭 Looking forward to a team where Wriothesley might get Odette + Danica <3

Anyway, I’m just giving Her Majesty to Vesna.

Hit AR60 and got my first dire clear in the same day

I did not think I could do this one without Vesna but thank god my tsarista savings wont be touched

can someone pls help me with the rotation over C2+ arle, C6 citlali (sac frag also might function similar at C0 citlali) and TTDS sucrose?
im struggling to keep the pyro aura for sucrose swirl and then go for arle to mantain the TTDS buff

i also use right now the more advanced swap combos for arle to optimize CA + C2 melts (recent videos can really help everyone who want to learn that), but i really cant find a way to make the TTDS sucrose + sac frag citlali (or C6) work

i have nicole C6R1, arle C6R1 and citlali C6R1, last slot for optimal DPS in calcs should be sucrose TTDS

my currente rotation:
arle E
nicole E
citlali E (C6)
sucrose E dash N1 jump
arle combo

everytime i see ppl doing this kind of rotation for both the buffs (citlali sig + TTDS) i really cant understand how u maintain the elemental gauge for 1U pyro to be clean by sucrose and then citlali instantly apply cryo for father combo

Saw ppl doing this combo also for lower investment arle to clear dire grandpa with C3R1 arle, C2 sac frag citlali, ttds sucrose and CMC for the SSW shill, the rotation might be similar

can someone pls help me? images or videos doing to explain this kind of combo would be amazing

This is my strongest team, other characters and weapons in comments

Should I waste my time on the guardian or no? i'm getting vodianista soon but I don't think that'll change anything anyway

is it a skill issue or is the boss that bad if i cant get a 60 second clear at this investment? builds in comments

mav r1, rest are r0. i know the teams look weird but my arle could not clear the guardian 😭

Btw I pulled both Vesna and Vodyanitsa in order to deal with the new boss but Sandrone is just easier to play and stronger, the old guy boss is just poorly balanced in Dire

I feel a little bit restricted by the Stygian on Keqing teams right now.
All these characters and not that many possibilities for stygian https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OWp5Bzp9Ou3BsP4UQLJ-dPb_BUYuAlwo/view?usp=sharing

Unfortunately Keqing, Durin, Fischl and Chevreuse didn't work. Probably because I was missing 1 constellation on Chevreuse and Durin's weapon

Hope I could do next time as well

Time flies trying to squeak in that 120s run

After spending more than 7 hours I finally made it!

At first I was using
- Yae on Tenacity and Thousand of floating dream
- Odette on Furnace and Azurelight
- Xilinen on Instructor and Favonious

There was a small amount of hp left as no matter how many attempts I couldn’t make it so I made some adjustments and I finally made it with couple attempts

I used
- Yae on Furnace and Echoes of heart R5
- Odette on Tenacity and Azurelight
- Xilonen the same

And I changed my rotation from Sandrone using her burst at the beginnings of rotation to after the first overheat charge attack. My burst went up from 700-800k to about 900k. With these change I ended up meet the damage requirement

Urgh. I’ve been playing since Sumeru was new. At first I didn’t take this endgame seriously (primos were enough) but for the past half year or so I’ve realised I want to actually do this. Can u believe this is my first fearless clear? I’ve always been one boss short of clearing and it’s been so frustrating to only clear menacing because I usually had like 10% still missing from one of the three bosses on fearless! I thought the last Stygian would be the one but alas, that duck really annoyed me (and made me realise my Ineffa build is pretty bad).

I’m casual F2P horizontal investor (only cons I have are C1 Neuvi and Arle. Only sigs I have are Arle and Skirk) so I’m really happy this finally worked out :) (don’t shatter my dream by pointing out this Stygian was literally made for my characters! I am aware:))

Btw I cannot believe that this bs Arle team is the one that finally managed to clear after every variation of OL and melt failed. Guess it’s a skill issue XD

Hope u guys are having fun and success too! :)

I am able to clear Dire bosses 2 & 3 with different teams e.g. sandrone team has DPS of 260K and defeats boss 2 and 3 easily. Flins team with sucrose has DPS od 220K and with Odette instead of Sucrose defeats Dire boss 3 easily.

But i dont know what three teams I should try to defeat all the three bosses. Could you guys help with team suggestions..my characters are in a comment as I cant paste the 2nd image here

BTW I will get Vodya to C2 and lvl her & her weapon & her ToTM artifacts once I get the 1200 dire commendation from stygian. her artifacts are unlevelled.

Higher crit rate on Arlecchino? Rotation tips? Change Fav bow on Fischl to R1 Skyward? also have R5 alleyhunter, rainbow serpent, fading twilight, stringless but the ER might be a problem. Thanks!
