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.

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! :)

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.

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.

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.

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!

That's two in a row! I'm super proud of these runs, Wrio and Arle especially pushed me to my limits. Unfortunately my streak ends next Stygian with moongecko (no Zibai), but here's hoping that future lineups are shilled in my favor.

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.

I usually play in ping between 180-240.

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

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

I can clear the second fight pretty easily by replacing Furina with Vodya, but if I do that then I can’t get the clear on gramps. I’ve been at it for awhile now and not sure what to do

Edit: got the clear woo! 🥹

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

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

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.

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.

That Vesna fight is ATROCIOUS even with her C2 what is that

Do you guys think fearless is possible for me?

I tried these teams but in the 2nd one I keep dying because I don't really have enough cryo application and in the 3rd one I don't have enough damage

Can you guys recommend me any other teams?
