Taunt is an amazing skill if you have something like a bloomed Saffron.
Enemies forced to attack her, but the cannot hit her because the 80% dodge. Meanwhile the 4x counter is ruining their day.

Yep I have it on my Mistletoe on the off chance that squads does not 1 shot everything.... she doesn't get attacked often but when it happens it's glorious.

I was looking forward to next whale missions for giving Helenium this taunt, but if bloomed Saffron gets those stats, then it becomes a must-buy for sure with the sun medals.

Now just to hope we get Bloom Saffron soon enough.

Are the new "chance" nodes bugged or nerfed? There's a big difference between a 10% buff on Nutaku and the 40% buff it apparently gives on DMM.

I don't think they're bugged or nerfed; my guess is that when DMM first put them in they were 10% and later moved up to 40% to adjust for harder missions. 40% would be overkill on Nutaku right now.

6th whale is rather hard tbh. i ain't swimming in 6* gals, do have to admit, got one full group of them. 4/5 fully ampied and 2nd affection'd and whatnot, but that 6-5 still a cointoss for me. wasn't like that in previous ones, sometimes did them on full auto even. seems like stuff buffed the boss dmg output across the board to account for the SB thing and chance.
sure hope i am being paranoid to tell you the truth

I found it really hard too. And my Slice ship is my best ship. I can do 5th missions really easily, even on auto with more than 50% life at the end. But 6-5 is too hard. I failed twice on it with all girls max level, max affection and full of event equipement almost max level + 4 rainbows max ampie/2nd affection and Oncidium greatly ampied and 2nd affection too.
This 10% instead of 40% is really painful. This and the lack of bloomed girls available.

So... let's farm the good old neutral whaleship maps.

i had 6-5 done on first try, apparently for the lulz of the fkg gods. cause next 3 attempts went the way of hillary clinton. do have to ask, gear really affects the outcome? groupwise, after my 6* goes the way of Valhalla, it's pretty much on to the last stretch, that is bossfight. Where, as much as i gathered, equip matters jack.

i know the break-thingie-argument to equip your gals, i wondered if it's any good outside of that.

It always started at 40% on DMM. One indication it's bugged on Nutaku is that the number doesn't change if a team dies.

Equipment stats count for the ship and are therefor vital.
