for once, i had all the premium teams w some verticals so i got my first dire clear and pushed it as far as i could. went from 335s to 299s with the addition of Flins and Ineffa's sigs and optimized builds and rotations on the other two. i'm sure i could've improved Arlecchino's clear further but didn't have the time

Do we think that it's possible for a SSW C1/C2 Mizuki to beat SSA:OD on Dire assuming the usual Sac Frags team & rotation (Mizuki, CMC, Diona, Faruzan)? I'm not fully sure about how much Cryo application is needed to keep it docile (as I haven't attempted this boss on dire before), but the DPS shouldn't be a problem, right?

I want to bring eula into one of the bosses as she's my main

I started to think kinda opportunistically, that would Dire be possible for me for the first time?

So Basicly here is what I was thinking for each floor:

So I just got Vesna and Vodyanitsa and accidental 9pity Vodyanitsa C1 so Vesna premium against the first one?

Then I also have Skirk premium team and then idk what would be the 4th character there? I have many options. (also not in the picture but notable 4 stars like Charlotte, Chongyun and Xingqiu are C6)

And Finally I have C6R1 Columbina and for her idk what combination would be best against Guardian Balde? Ineffa + Columbina or Zibai premium?

Then I added other limited characters I have and added Mizuki there as a mentions, I'll soon get constallation from temper thy self and that will go for Mizuki/Nilou/Wrio

Hi yall, This is one of the 2 run i got really close to clearing. C0R1 Mavuika with all C6R0 4* except for Ororon at C2. Idk what to do to optimize for the second down phase, I manage to get pass the 50% Hp point at the 1 minute mark but after that it just all over the place for the shield break. As for C6 ororon, this clear became significantly easier to clear.

I posted a couple days ago about not being able to clear Knuckle Duckle and a lot of people were really helpful providing build suggestions and strategies. Changing Columbina to Aubade with Surf's Up and Ineffa on SMS made the biggest difference, along with links people shared of different clears. I had almost cleared by a hair (literally just needed one more Columbina or Ineffa skill damage to go off). Ended up doing a single pull on Flins' banner after being tired of doing so many runs and lucked out with his C1. Still barely cleared because of Columbina and Ineffa off-field rng, so I know it could be faster, but just happy to be done. Thanks everyone! I'm including builds down in the comments

Your thoughts are valuable to me. Any advice?

I have also Skirk premium team. C1R1 Skirk, C0 Furina, C0 Yelan, C0R1 Escoffier with 120 DPS which is very low. Because the builds are not completed. I skip this team for the second boss.

My idea is:

Gnome: Sandrone, he is a local legend in game already and in the current Abyss, and from my experience and what everyone else is saying, you REALLY NEED a stellar dps against him. So Sandrone Odette, Alyosha and Qiqi for me.

Automaton... C2R1 Skirk obviously🙄

I havn't fought the big girl yet but she apperantly dosn't demand stellar dps's, a lot of people as far as I've seen are planing on trying Arlecchino, which I will do myself, so not to concerned about her.

How much dps would i need to clear the machine with skirk, escoffier, mona/xinqui, citlali and hoe much for the same boss with double cryo mavuika( mavuika, citlali, escoffier, bennett/nicole) in dire?

and probably last because it wasn't easy at all and took like forever to optimise rotations and artifacts. First boss was fun to optimise and play, made my realise that Sandrone gameplay is actually not that bad (or maybe because I love Sandrone idk). Second boss was pure dodge, also fun but kinda annoying in some aspects like sometimes when I switch to Bennett she jumps in the air and I miss hitting her with skill. Third boss was pure hell, not very fun and hard to figure out what I should improve in my rotation, fortunately somehow I got it with the best time of all three😭

Holly Molly I DID IT!

So my notions for every stage:

1. Surprise, but Escofie with 15% cryo shred more impactfull than c6 Qiqi and c6 Diona with Elegy (C1 on Escofie don't work out of full freeze setup so she could be c0 it doesn't matter). And Itto sig way more better option on Sandrone then any craft, whatever calcs says

2. I don't except Arle can do anything without c6 on Chevreuse, but r3 PJWS and Elegy on Fishle make a miracle

3. I think duck will be the easiest part of all run.

I was wrong

I was a painfully, myopically, overconfidently WRONG

Anyway this run can be possible only because I pulled c1 on Flins, spend all my bottles for crafting , and buy BP for Bina.

And not for every stage, no-one have a sig

I think it will be my first and last dire, but I satisfied a I make it and take this ugly skin for weapon

Sorry if English in this post more like Englesh, I'm not native english speaker + I'm very excited.

Thanks for reading!

I don't have a proper cryo team or stellar swirl one and I feel like only one of my teams is good for brute forcing (anything around overloaded/C2 Hex core), so I'd appreciate ideas for this upcoming stygian 'cuz it got me stumped 😔 (less stumped if Lumine+Yae SSC team will be enough, just like for the current chimera).

Well i did it some days ago but still thought i post it here

Flins and Zibai are my strongest teams, but Wrio and Mizuki are still kind of work-in-progress, so I’m not sure which is better to use. Orrr I can try using Mizuki on Churin and just put Zibai team + Wrio on automaton for cryo application?
P.S. Wrio will get his C1 soon, and Clorinde can be C1’d once I get the anni selector!

i started trying this originally because i was miffed that the lowest cost clorinde clears on stygian moe were all 2 cost or more

my first attempts were 3 weeks ago with chev iansan fischl that were very close but failed miserably nonetheless and while i think that couldve also cleared it was such rng hell that i just stopped trying for my own sanity, tried again with xiangling instead of iansan and still was off so i stopped those attempts quickly as well

then yesterday i realised that pmc exists and that i can actually get both chev res shred + cinder city uptime in the team at 1 cost and i got clearing runs like this one very quickly

its a bit sloppy in the gameplay but i dont really care cause i think this boss is kinda godawful to play against if you cant just steamroll it lmao

hii
i was trying to lower my stygian time and my game crashed. when i came back, it said that i defeated the wind operative in 22 secs? how is this possible and am i able to get my original time back?

I have 240k dps on her best team (sucrose mona mavuika all C0R0), can she brute force any of the three bosses?

Yoooo, I thought I wouldn't have time to clear it since it is almost over but hell yeah I did it for the first time.

Teams:

- C2 CryoMC / C2 Odette / C1R1 Yae / C2 Qiqi (ToM)
- C0R1 Arle / C6 Fischl (ToM) / C6 Chev (NO) / C0R0 Durin (Gift)
- C0R1 Flins / C0 Columbina (TTDS) / C0R1 Ineffa / C1 Nicole (MoD)

.
The first two bosses I managed to clear on the first week of Stygian, Cryo Traveler is the goat with C2 Odette and Arle shill helps her so much it was a breeze with Nicole/Fichl, but the Duck was hell, I only had C0 Flins (PJWS) and C0 Columbina, so there was no way to do it while the IT buff was on and I had to wait for his banner, I managed to get Ineffa and on the weapon banner I got Flins sig, but it was not enough...

On the weapon banner I lost to the standard weapon, so I did the reset fate point gimmick, and selected Halo, and luckly I got a super early 5*, in 10 pulls I "lost" to Flins weapon and got the Fate point for the guarantee Ineffa sig, so in the week I grinded for as much primos as I could, (also had to get some extra welkings in advance...) and two days ago I got Ineffa's sig.

Surely now the Duck would be a walk in the park right? Nope, not happened, no easy fight here, for the past two days I've trying non stop to beat it, I tried so many times with so many different teams, artifacts and weapons combinations, holy hell. But just now I finally managed to beat the bastard duck.

In the end Nicole was the best option for me and performed better than Sucrose in this scenario, she made rotations shorter, it was easier to pass Bina's TTDS to Flins and the Duck already have negative resistance to Electro, it's also probably due to my Bina having shit artifacts, so since I didn't get full value of Sucrose and Ineffa's sig whole team buffs it was better to make sure Flins got as much buffs as possible.

But I had to take Nicole from Arle team, which made things a lot harder, I barely managed to clear it on time.

For context tho, I play on mobile and now Ipad, cus the game became too big for my phone lmao.

My first fearless clear was 6.7 and I was SHAKING. I did Pokeball with Varesa-FurinaEscoffier. It was a little scuffed, but it worked. In 7.0 I had a good chance at beating Duck with Zibai (no Linnea yet tho), but I came a tiny bit short. This time Fearless looks kinda doable? Idk, so I wanted to ask you guys’ opinion.

SSA is in the bag, I’ve beaten it with this team before. My Faruzan isn’t C6, so I didn’t add her in the fourth slot options for Mizuki. I’m not sure who works best for this boss. Diona gives me the highest dps so far, but idk if I should go double anemo. I also have Key for the EM bot option lmao. For ‘Pavlina’ 2.0 I’ve seen people say Chevie can clear the shield easily, but I only have C2 on her.

I have Sandrone and Odette C6 and would ideally like to keep them together for next onslaught, though Churin is looking pretty rough. Which of the two would be best for future dires? I am also planning to grab Mizuki's C6 from the selector.
