mampfoid Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm becoming too lazy on offense, accepting 120 matches just to use L!Leif to cheese maps. Defense doesn't work as perfect as last week, but -60 at this point of the week is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Oh yeah, I was considering Hawkeye... But now i lack feathers for upgrading a 4 star. I used what I had recently on someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 6 hours ago, Vicious Sal said: Make sure you have teams that focus on visible buffs but also teams that do not use visible buffs. Panic is so common and your Sothis could very easily get -12 or -13 to all stats by being panicked and debuffed. Most people have their shrines at max lvl so your sothis will most likely attract all chills since I don’t expect you to build your team around supporting Sothis with units that soak chills for her. Then, if you buff her with L!Azura for example, she gets +6 to all stats (or 7 if using a hone 4) which will most likely turn to panic since you’re not looking out for those things. That means her 46 speed turns to 34, 35 def becomes 23 and 40 def is now a measly 28. That’s a paper bag sothis. (Took the stats from a previous reply, don’t know if that took in consideration the in combat buffs sothis gets, but the point stands.) Oh, yeah, only 54 HP after two Mythics leaves her vulnerable to the last two levels of Panic Manor, unless she's Summoner supported or picks up HP buffs from other sources. That's definitely a concern. The stats I gave assumed neutral Sothis with just her weapon buff accounted for, so that looks about right for getting hit by Dark Shrine 5 and Panicked Tactics buffs. A properly supported Sothis will see +10 Def from double Naga, so she's not as squishy there as she looks. It's a shame that M!Corrin's dead, since she'd probably appreciate his support if B!Ike isn't going to get it. Unrelated, last night I encountered the defense of someone who must really hate Altina. They had a F!Delthea set up with 56 HP and Panic Ploy, plus the ability to, after Bonus Doubler, Def/Res Bond Seal and Death, hit 49 Def. Plus roughly 80 Atk. I'm kind of surprised she didn't have Hardy Bearing (their Deirdre had it and she wouldn't have done anything but die horribly against Altina), but given the formation, I think she was built to just tank Altina's attacks regardless of if Altina was baiting raw or already in Vantage mode. Unfortunately for her, that setup didn't do jack for her against B!Ike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Oh yeah, if Sothis is getting debuffed to hell like that, that would explain why she's getting killed so easily. I don't know how to avoid those debuffs though. I tend to use drive seals to buff units as well as hone and fortify skills. So if she's debuffed to heck regardless of which type of buff she's trying to utilize, well...yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because mine is +10 but she doesn't need Hardy Bearing to survive an EP attack from her. She's surprisingly tanky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't think you can avoid standing under a Panic Manor or getting hit by the odd Panic Ploy/Panic+ Staff/Sudden Panic/Aversa's Night, then increasing her HP is probably your best option. Summoner Support C, a single Dragonflower level and HP +5 Seal would put her at 63 HP, would make her significantly harder to Panic. 5 minutes ago, Landmaster said: As someone who uses F!Delthea on Dark yet strangely runs into a lot of Altinas, HB isn't really necessary on her.

Though the one I faced was tanky enough that only greens would be guaranteed to kill her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already maxed her dragonflowers, so that HP seal is going to have to be what I try. I've already used up my Aether for today though, so I'll have to try tomorrow.

Vicious Sal Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Astra is so much easier to score highly, with unmerged mythics I still got front page. It won’t hold since people will start doing their matches today, but still, rank 49 right now with not even a perfect week is rather absurd.

Anacybele Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I don't know how I'm staying in tier 21... I lost nearly every single battle this week. But I'll take it, I'd rather not drop a tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landmaster Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Made it to T25 even with no Ladders for the past couple days~ Can't remember if 8 Successes is my best but 6 in a row certainly is~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRay Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I used up all my ladders, and I lost an additional 3 matches, so Kronya is not doing so hot this week. Still reached Tier 23, but nowhere close to a Gold Throne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Teams loose with Kronya and double Duo-hector and a Bolt Tower. Hardy Bearing Seal + RazzleDazzle Healer + another unit that checks Vantage and its mostly game over for her.

She can counter Firesweep staff units just fine now that I gave her Null C-Disrupt. She does have consistency issues, but I am just banking on luck to get me a Gold Throne right now.

XRay Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 1 minute ago, Hilda said: with Null C-Disrupt she might be missing killing power to deal with the other targets. That is what the 2 AMH!Hectors are for. Generally, the only units she has trouble killing are bulky armor units with Armor March/Armored Boots and Hardy Bearing nukes. Kronya can usually dodge most bulky armor units (assuming they are placed far enough away from her) since they are so slow, so all I need to do is to just Reposition AMH!Hector forward to deal with the armor units after Kronya dealt with the rest of the team; however, bulky armor units with Armor March/Armored Boots got enough mobility to cover the team, so Krona does not usually work in those situations. Hardy Bearing nukes are usually well protected, so there is not really much I can do, although I can try to Panic it with AMH!Hector, but sometimes there is not enough space to do that or that the Panic debuff simply is not enough.

Landmaster Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This week's Replays Overall, very successful week~ Alfonse and Sharena continue to be the main carry but Raven managed to put in some good work this week in not dying Turn 1 most of the time and catching all these End Turn Altinas off guard.

LordFrigid Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Bit of an "oof" this week, as my Astra seasons continue to be inconsistent. It was fine earlier on in the season, but towards the end it became pretty obvious that my raiding parties' variety was too limited. I made some adjustments, but it was too little too late, and one final slip-up on the last battle put me 30 lift short of T26. RIP. I'm optimistic that those adjustments will help a lot next Astra season, though. On the plus side, the defense team continued to put in work, with a rare -0 performance. Two no-kill losses happened during lift loss protection, allowing me to fully enjoy the creative setups the attackers used to dismantle my team.

It's actually 3 mythics but the foe forgot their bonus structure. The stat boosts are just the +3 from Peony. Interesting to see the new increases in structure levels, and I'm really glad that the Offense ones use Dew. Tactics Room Lv6 might mess with my usual Anima map build though. Oh well.
