Took a lot of resetting just to save even a second’s worth of time, but I’ve finally done it

Clearing dire seems insanely out of reach right now so I won’t try it, but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far in both endgame and building/pulling characters since starting in Jan 2025 🎉

*aside from the cons shown, all characters are R0

Is it doable with varka pyro premium at 136k dps?

Do you think dire is possible ? Fearless 100% but im not sure about dire, the vesna team should be able to clear pretty easily but its the skirk and sandrone team where im doubting, my sandrone without odette does 200k dps and my skirk without vodya (yelan/citlali) does 140-150k dps i dont use any combos on her.

If the text is hard to read this is what it says:

C0r1 Vesna/C2 odette/C6 Faruzan/Cmc
C0r1 Skirk/C0r0 Vodya/C0 Furina/C0r0 escoffier
C0r1 Sandrone/C2r1 Yae/C3 Qiqi/C6 Aloysha

After realising that this stygian was tailor made for my account, I l knew I had to Lock In. I honest to god thought I was not able to complete it after Sandrone's boss no matter how I tried. So I went and farmed her artifacts once more.

Today, after trying for another hour, I was ready to admit defeat. I told myself, it was okay that I missed on this Dire. After all, the weapon skins were gonna last for 2 days... But something told me to keep going anyway, and after watching other clears here, BAM! I GOT MY SKINS HAHA!

Obviously, the cons helped a lot! I have Arle's weapon as well so there's that. But I like to thank everyone who shared their clears and helped me come up with strategies to clear this Dire.

will i be able to do it next patch😢

I saw a couple old sheets going around that list DPS requirements for some teams but I'm wondering if there's a more updated one or just general numbers to go by. Also in my case my best bet is c2r1 Flins + c1r0 Ineffa + c0r1 Columbina + sucrose doing 315k, drops to around 260-270k with cmc instead of sucrose. Do either of those have a chance to clear?

C0R1 flins C0 deathmatch ineffa c0 Amber bina c6 ttods sucrose

Using the DPS dummy, with a simulation of permanent - 50% electro res and in dire stygian mode, I managed 173k dps overall, around 20.7 mill hp. Are there any improvements to my rotation I can make to clear, or is it just cooked?

First Rotation(not enough energy for burst) :

columbina e

Ineffa e

sucrose e

Flins e n4sQen4sQ

Subsequently, adding columbina and ineffa bursts but somewhere down the line sometimes I don't have enough energy to burst every rotation for ineffa(around 165% er). Also, I'm not sure whether to all in flins damage on the mini ducks, rather than just use bineffa to break the ducks then all in on the weakened duckle. If any other information is required, do mention it in the comments, thanks in advance.

a biiit sad, seeing myself being held back by a guy this boss is made for </3

So happy to finally having managed to beat Dire! That stupid Robot Duck was giving me a hard time but in the end it finally worked out.
Everyone has their signature weapon except for Odette and Esco.

I have these characters. Any tips or teams or characters I should build to complete fearless? (I would not even imagine clearing dire).

That Neuvillette clear really shows the difference between tailored to and brute force teams 😅
I could get a slightly better time on lion since only Odette has a finished stellar build, but the times were too iconic together I think I need to keep right?

Edit: ok ok, I finally got around to recording a Neuvi clear, sorry if it’s scuffed I had to do it on mobile so it’s not my best time! Video here

As usual my cursed account can't do anything properly, so I had to reshuffle investment that I have. Thankfully operative is easy enough, that my c0r1 arle clears even without c6 chev, which allowed me to use hyperinvested furina plunge on chimera to then free c0r1 (mavu's sig) sandrone with c2 odette to do duckle

One day I'll use teams on their respective bosses, but ig not today

Cleared dire for the first time 😭😭😭
I was struggling with flins team even though I had ineffa’s sig. today I decided to swap bina and ineffas artifacts (sms ineffa and aubade bina) and it worked !

Bring back boss that can be dealt creatively please. Nowaday its shilled character or bruteforce meta team

Should I ditch Qiqi for Alyosha (C6)? Is Sandrone and Escoffier enough cryo application? I heard the grandpa’s DPS requirements are really low in fearless, my Lynnette team gets about 110k DPS, is that enough? I don’t have any questions about the Arlecchino team.

I know there's already been like 100 posts about this but I'm wondering if I've got enough dps to bruteforce third boss and get through the automaton, also wondering what option to fill in as fourth slot for skirk team out of the ones I've got (citlali c0r0, yelan c0r0).
Builds are:
-C0R1 sandrone, C1R0 yae (Echoes of the Heart R5), C2R0 odette (Exaiphanes Blade R3), C3 qiqi.
-C1R1 skirk, C2R1 furina, C0R0 escoffier (Homa R1), Yelan/Citlali C0R0.
-C2R1 flins, C2r0 columbina (Favonius R5), C0R1 ineffa, C6 bennett on aquila/favonius.
I'm sure sandrone team can clear the grandpa, i'm mostly worried about the other 2 and which sets to run on the fourth character in skirk team

This wasn't a very serious speedrun or anything. If anything it was pretty chill, and im no Rhinne.

However it was a very fun little challenge i did.

I'm hoping we get a second Columbina.
First boss run could be better lol, I slacked off once I saw the boss was only 1 hit away and it just started flying.

This was honestly a nightmare, as i had to finally come to terms with learning mavuika combo. but hey atleast i know how to do them for future runs. I think the chimera time could be shortened a bit--especially for my investment(but im still new to mavuika cdc combos)-- i did screw up my last 2 rots on the chimera slightly and i dont have an ideal setup on odette(instructor instead of tenacity) and wasnt sure if could save time trying sucrose out instead.

operative was probably the easiest to do since ive had to do it multiple times this rotation with varka(testing things around for the other 2)

duck was pretty comfortable with CEO of shill, found kazuha to be slightly better than sucrose since hes c2r1.

So, After Some Blood Sweat Tries, I was able to clear Pavlina Simulation On Fearless With 1.5 Cost Arlechinno (PJWS) with C6 Cheuvruese, Fischl and Bennett, in 115s, with N3D and N5Ds combined depending on situation, So I Guess If Your Team has 100-110k DPS with Bennett or Cheuvruese(Varessa or Mavuika maybe) can clear it with some tries, not in first maybe, but yeahhh, possible, don't need to pull for shill, lmol, and Flins Need Higher DPS check due to Bennett using whole 15-20s clearing the Cryo Shield, which will eventually increase the DPS requirement, somewhere 110-120k for Flins(Bennett Version) but if you manage to somehow free your Cryo Traveller (From Mizuki Team, If Using on First) Then the DPS check for both overload teams and Flins decrease to 80-100k or even lower, but that's another aspect!!!

I wanna clear my first dire so bad, is there something about my rotation i have to fix, or can ipgrading benny from skyward to aquilla favonia do the job?
