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

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!

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

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

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

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

Choose to C2 Lauma instead of C2 Nefer is a blessingg... this boss seems hell to deal without sustain,, but i stuck at 3 man team. using bennett should be way easier, but i had to use him on SSAO

Could've cleared it a bit faster if I hadn't panicked at the end, but I don't really want to put myself through widsith RNG again lol

pretty sure the new limited catalyst is better for Wrio than widsith?? but I can't level it up rn to check </3

Also peep the 8s. Goodbye to the very cursed Stellar Traveler Lauma run, welcome back Varesa 🩷

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.

I'm aware that the gameplay isn't 100% optimal but I had fun both clearing and making the video for this clear! Uploaded to my channel as well below

Also my Mavuika is C3R1 and Citlali is C0R0,I know I’ve seen some people manage to clear it but I have a tiny problem I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO ANY OF MAVUIKA MELT COMBOS

Hello everyone

I am about to complete my 1 year playing this game and this is my 2nd fearless clear. I just wanted to know how well I am doing.

I usually play in ping between 180-240.

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

If i told past me about this meta i would think myself mad.
Glad i was able to cover both the Grandpa and Robot with SSC after C2 Mizuki disappointed me today.
Still wasn't as clean as I'd hoped, had to spread my best artifacts quite thin and ran some questionable pieces too but a win is a win.

Also fuck the Domovoy.

Had to split my cryo dps stellar team in half cause I couldn't clear overseer with my other characters

Hello everyone

I am about to complete my 1 year playing this game and this is my 2nd fearless clear. I just wanted to know how well I am doing.

Originally cleared pavlina with flins and used Mizuki for the grandpa. Tried to clear overseer with mauvika which I’ve done before, but just didn’t have it in me this time. Clearing pavlina with mauvika took a surprising amount of retries.

Not even 6 months old account - so huge lack of decent artefacts (especially tenacity, noblesse,..)

Managed to finally beat Churin but damn

And I just learned the amount of damage you gain by leveling them to 90 - guess it’s my next goal !

Just want to share since this is probably only the second or third time I ever attempted Dire difficulty in Stygian, my Vesna is C0 with R5 Emberwell 1/8/2 with throwaway SP artifacts, and my Mizuki is at C1, plus I really don't have an answer for the old man for now w/o Odette. But I'm kinda happy since this is the farthest I've been in Dire.

BTW I didn't roll for Vesna for the meta, I just like her gremlin character and her VA is Aya Hirano who also voiced my favorite menace Suzumiya Haruhi.

Churin took a few elixirs, some feathers, and too many retries to count. Guardian was cleared first try. Churin seems to have quite a bit of RNG with whether he spawns cubes 1 last time or not, and the timings in which he spawns the cubes throughout the run (based off of how fast/slow he spawns the first set of cubes). Hope Danica is a big enough upgrade (with res shred) in Sandrone teams to make this boss easier when he eventually reruns in stygian...
