Thread: New Flower Tactica [aka share your best teams here]

This is my new intercept team using the shinny new girl Knotweed Valentine as core, suggestions are always nice but well I don't have a lot of unit but I'll keep in mind to save my FS and summon for them:



The whole idea behind this comp is to buff Knotweed Valentine so she can be fat and ugly, then she'll solo the rest of the battle by building up her Evasion stacks.

Angelica Swimsuit + Dusty Miller Parallel Academy can max out my crit chance and 200+ crit damage is not too bad.
But after that I think this team is still lackluster.

Red Spider Lily Parallel looks great, but I afraid I need to get rid of Dusty Miller Parallel because she buffs Guardian type, so I need to change my Knotweed's type attribute to get the most out of her buffs. But I doubt I will be able to get her anytime soon.

And I kinda want Usagigoke too.

Fennel seems a bit out of place. I understand the point of covering all weaknesses but it's not guaranteed and Knotweed don't get any weakness damages buff to really need it. Evergreen Candytuff may be more interesting since she is magic herself.
You can use Red Spider Lily School and give Guardian Type to Golden Lace while Knotweed keep her Attack type. She will still buff Knotweed and makes Golden Lace more offensive with her intercept. And all the other girls will benefit her 100% intercept anyway thanks to Golden Lace miss debuff.
Usagigoke is good too but for other reasons.
Or you could go for less Crit and use both Usagigoke and Red Spider Lily without Dusty. Less damages but more survivability if you need it.
For weakness attribute, you can still use FM to give the attribute you need at the right moment.
Vanda after promotion can be used as filler too. Or you can look for another promoted girl but there is so much that I lost track of them and can't say who do what anymore...

Anyway, I think it's better to strat with as much girls as you already have. Knotweed-Golden Lace-Dusty-Angelica is a good base core. Just look for Usagigoke or Spider Lily depending on who came first. The mosrt important is knowing what you want to focus on. Raw damages or Intercept.

Also, it seems changing girls' Types works again.

Meanwhile, I made this team based on Tritoma:

I wanted to do something very offensive without Ancient Flowers. It destroy Honeyshucle in one turn, even skipping her healing.
the idea is maxing Tritoma's damages for her combo hit. Asian White Britch is perfect for that with attack and weakness damages, Spring Star School cover skill damages. Orange fish the job with more attack, more crit and more weakness damages. And bring Blue weakness for Honeysuckle fight.

I'd like to replace Stockes' Aster with Dracaena of Hinoki but I don't have them. Cardamine Lyrata (Halloween) would be fun too. Maybe better as she gives Act Again for Asian White Britch, Spring Star and Orange.

Red Spider Lily Parallel seems to be very new, at least I checked the wiki using History feature and she was released not too long ago ? So my chance of getting her from cheap 3000 FG seems to be small, so I better look for Swimsuit Usagigoke it looks like. But I have to admit Parallel girls are usually very good.

I think nowadays buff girls with [For 1 Ally Type] buff like Hinoki (Parallel Academy) are the better ones than those [For 5 allies], because the buff is bigger and buffing support girls (usually 2-3 per team, unless they're also decently offensive which is ideal but I can't find a lot of them) doesn't seem to be that beneficial ?

If things goes well, she will be in a 30FG gacha around november/december. Same for Hinoki. Usagigoke swimsuit will be in a 30FG gacha somewhere during summer.

I think buffs for 1 Ally are good when you can easily target the ally. Back in the time, there were buffs for less than 5 but targeting random girls (ex old Kerria) and it was hard to use and not that great. For 1 Ally Type] is great indeed. Being able to change ally type as you want help a lot. The only limit is when you want two buffs targeting different types.
[For 5 allies] is still great when you rely on multipe attacking girls. I don't really know if 5 main girls teams are as good as 1 main 4 support. I guess it's the case for more defensive team build like counter or pure intercept.

So after spending some time crafting a team for Sigilaria, I dropped my idea of running her with Valentine Knotweed, I finally find my own goal, I need:
- Girls with skill activation rate, even turn 1 x2.0 is great because all I need is a great turn 1 for Sigilaria so she can do x1 skill x1 act again x1 skill
- 80% Act Again is needed, so I need to give Sigilaria a great FM for Act Again, and then her teammates need to cover the rest
- A very strong attacker with Pursuit to bypass 1HP Seal (optional)

So my draft team will look like this:
- Sigilaria (star of the show)
- Plum (for x2 skill activation turn 1), sadly I don't have her, any Turn 1 x2 skill will be great, honestly I might just go Pincushion route and run a Skill Drain support instead to keep my units at full HP, also another sadness I don't have Pincushion even after so many unlucky x110 banners.
- Corn_Cockle seem to be my best bet, she also buffs skill activation rate to secure a great Turn 1

Now the hardest part is 2 slots with as much Act Again as possible, I have some but I need them to support my Corbett, 80% Act Again is ideal, but I know that's not easy.

Apple Bride
1.6* Skill Act, 15% Act Again. And she will be guaranteed for 150FS in June in the Bride 30FS Gacha.
Or Pincushion. She should came back in her reprint event gacha (I guess? I don't remember if 5* have increased rates too). It's two events away, expect something like 4~5 weeks.

For strong attacker with Pursuit, Cactus? Not the best but at least you already have her and she works weel with Apple Bride.
For turn 1 skill act, regular Cymbidium works I guess. Pursuit+Act Again for self.

Instead of a non reliable 80% Act Again, you can also think about Negate Damages and Retain HP. You don't mind if you activate Sigilaria turn 1 or 2 if you don't take damages.
Sickle-shaped Solomon's Seal
is clearly good. She can protect you with her 50% miss while Sigilaria is inactive, gives 2 Negate damages and x1.36 skill act.


Or even better. Use both Corbett and Sigilaria in the same team. I think Sigilaria is not a girl you build around. She is really bad to do the job by herself. It's better to make a team based on another strong girl and use her in the process.
I haven't used her yet so, I may be wrong. I'll try to do something.



Sigilaria, Plum, Corn Cockle... I know someone who saw some youtube videos

Apple Bride looks like a top tier support, definitely add her to my wishlist, she's pretty much similar as my Bluet (Rising Star of the Sparkling Fairyland), one of my best supports.

I kinda want to go the brute-force route because this route is kinda fun to me, I like the summon mechanic.

So far I tried Sigilaria a lot and I think the differences between being able to summon or not being able to is pretty huge, but to get enough skill activation rate and act again is my current problem, should I just go ahead and max out her skill with my Skill Flowers ? I think Skill Flower is pretty easy to get so I just want to spend them without thinking, somehow even with decent skill activation rate she just doesn't want to use her skill.

I'll continue to search the wiki more to find if there's even a unit with Turn 1 Skill activation + Turn 1 Act Again, with a great turn 1 Sigilaria can keep her summon forever, that's the real good thing about her.

I tried a bit Sigilaria and I can't do anything solid with her. Even with an ancient knight (Zinnia), I end with a weak team unable to beat anything. I guess I just don't know how to use her but right now, she is just a gimmicky debuff. Good but she don't do better than my usual debuffs. I'll see whe I'll need her specifically.

I think her problem is not having enough perfect supports to help her, she needs a lot of act agains and skill activation rates, but thoses are considered expensive buffs in this game, at least that's how I think about act again and skill act, very hard to get 100% skill act, and act again is still very rare, especially 30%.

But because they're rare, so it's even harder to try to get both in a team with only "5" girls.

Skill rate is very common but yeah, it's not easy to reach 100% with only 4 girls (Sigilaria already take a slot and don't have skill act without her summon). You only needs x2.7 skill act for 99.9%. It's obtainable with Apple x1.6 and 3 other x1.36 skill act.
Act again is more a problem. Kinda rare for 5 allies and it's usually low (~15-20%). There is still Regrets and kindness FM for a good 25% act again.

Another way to use her may be to treat her as a regular Debuff and just pair her with another good debuff. She still have -40% Def, -40% ATK, -50% Crit and -20% Skill rate.
