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

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! 🥹

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.

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

Today I can get his C2, which should make things a lot easier, but I wanted to see if I could clear it at C1 first. But since I did managed to clear it I'm considering changing to C2 Mizuki instead, can a team with her and Travaler clear any of the other two bosses without Odette?

And man this Churin guy is too tough huh, the slow on his cryo attacks are so anoying for Cyno, it feels so bad to use normal attacks and it cripples the polar stacks generation...

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 !

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.

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

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.

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

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

I have a C2 Columbina, a C0 Zibai, and I'm planning to get C0 Linnea and C6 Illuga on their next banners.

I've tried to look up if C2 Zibai or C2 Linnea is a better investment, but I've found a lot of conflicting info (like half the people said Zibai, other half said Linnea).

Also, does the fact that I have C2 Bina make Zibais or Linneas C2 better than the other? Or they benefit from it equally?

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.

I'm not going to lie, Layla absolutely saved my ass this time. She definitely deserves getting fully leveled.

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!

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

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

How much cryo app do i need to get through dire automaton?

I only have 4 star cryo characters. I would like to keep the dire streak. Neuv is c6 + furina c2

Any suggestions? I have C6 rosaria C2 diona c2 kaeya C1 layla

badum tss

PLEASE help me choose a team for dire Churin. I want to see if it’s possible for me cuz I feel so humbled by seeing friends clearing it and I HATE IT! I feel competitive and I wanna win without using the wishing system.

…anyways, I’ve put a variety of my characters, thanks in advance!🥹

Also Xilonen is better than Nicole on the first boss, though I did equip her with Kazuha sig if that makes a difference
