Still got 3 slots open if anyone needs.

Ok, time to include my first 6* into my helper team.

I'm still not sure which utility ability is better - chocolate nodes from Chocolate Cosmos or small pest damage reduction from Japanese Iris/Toad Lily. For now I've chosen Japanese Iris, since this ability rescues strong squads from being grinded down before they get to the next fight, which really helped me in the later scenario maps.

I think Japanese Iris ability is better since chocolate nodes give not enought HP with 3 node max. At least small pest damage reduction help a lot on most of the maps.

I agree with Maotd, Pest Damage Reduction is a great utility ability to have. Some players use their own spawn Solar Node/ Healing Node girls/run Solar Nodes for their SB teams and the two node types don't play nice together. (Apparently Chocolate Cosmos was part of a promotion/give away before I came around so many players have her laying around) so that can reduce the usefulness of having that particular skill. But then again I'm not aware of many Solar Blast teams being around/any of them really relying on something like Strawberry Candle's solar shrine node spawns.

Also, Maotd, I love your Disconuts Sig.

I use a strong Solar Blast team with Strawberry Candle in it. And her ability is very very useful. Even if I not rely on it a lot, I still prefer have Shrine Node instead of Healing Node. On ultime maps pests hit too strong and heal is not enough efficient anyway.

That's really cool Maotd, I didn't know you were a SB player. Any other tips on squad arrangement for SB teams? I actually hadn't planned on using Strawberry Candle when I got a SB team ready, but now I'm probably going to level her up for the team.

In my SB team I have Ardisia, Lavender, Edelweiss, Night Phlox and Strawberry Candle.

Ardisia, Lavender and Night Phlox give +40, +20 and +20 percent of SB damage. Ardisia also give +15% damage to the party. Edelweiss is here for her +50% speed due to Lavender low speed. Strawberry Candle add solar shrine. I use Night Phlox for her great attack and healing skill. But you can use Convallaria or Lavender instead for their 3 target skill.
Lavender is really cool here since she is the best SB event girl (and the best event girl) with +20% SB damage plus max skill/max slot due to her event girl statut. But her catastrophic speed can be annoying.
German Iris is also good too with her +25% SB damage. Maybe the best 5* for this king of team.

For Strawberry Candle, her ability help a lot the SB team but also the other teams if you have troubles with certain groups of pests.
But note that this ability is useless on certain maps like manyu or dragons maps (there is no free nodes here). Certain missions maps are also not good for that if there is free nodes where girls can't go (like decorative nodes or nodeson moving pest path). But if you plan to rely on SB or only use it for fun, Strawberry Candle is your girl. And her sprite is so cute <3

About to hit Level 110 and get a new spot, any regular players on here got a spare spot?

My total power is above 350K and my first squad is 110K (on my screen anyway)

Invite sent.

Thanks skasio, added

I have another slot as someone dropped me, any other regulars got a slot?
