if only Epidendrum had -15% enemy attack debuff Kerria can draw a boss with Burning Bush in the team. I dont know why only Dahlia and Pitahaya are the only (?) 5 star knights with 15% debuff while everyone else has 10%.

Greenbell gets -15% as well so she's basically magic Dahlia (same abilities but Greenbell starts with -15% for two pests instead of +10% squad attack power, slightly weaker skill but +4% base skill proc chance).

...I should work on getting Greenbell into fighting shape so I can bolster my secondary debuff team. Kerria has New Year's Ivy/Snowdrop/Bride Oncidium/Cherry for a -65% debuff and with Greenbell/Cherry Sage/Dahlia I could give Alpinia a -40% buff to work with.

I wished I pulled Green Bell. Have her in DMM.

Alpinia(maxed) needs -65 to do max damage. I am giving her -60 which is best I can do until I get another -20 girl.
Kerria (maxed)can do with -50 with Burning Bush and never dies(at 45% she dies). Have you tried switching them?



We need more debuff blooms!

Epidendrum is unplayable at only -10 but will become a beast when she finally blooms.
Thinking I am going to add some -20s when I get them. I have Dahlia, Greenbell(wish they had swimsuit treatment)and Stewartia available.
I want to run Dalmatian Bellflower (she gets evade when she blooms) and just totally change out team 4 which is getting avg million damage methinks underperforming. A 5* debuff team should triple performance.

EDIT:
It should be another 5 events until RB comes round again in early October. We will get 6* Apple before then and we got Horse Chestnut this event. They will probably give us a 20 million RB though

I am going to play around with trying to optimize Alpinia tonight. I cant do -70% though until I get another girl.

I'm considering it especially since Alpinia needs all the help she can get at the moment (next to no ampies compared to full ampies for Kerria, only one equipment slot vs. Kerria's three, etc). Granted, I got Kerria from an event gacha a little over a year ago so she may have a tiny head start on Alpinia.

Not that a head start makes any difference; my Alpinia is full ampied and 5/4 and always gets outperformed by my full ampy 5/3 Kerria.

Testing Alpinia with my best debuff team 65%
(million)4.9, 4.7, 4.9, 3.8(died), 4.6, 5.4, 4.5
She's no slouch

An interesting thing happened. My total team score was the best yet 12346140. I did bring on the 5* debuff onto team 4 and put the daily deal dressblooms on Paederia and Dahlia. I am going to rotate Kerria to that team and see what happens.





Edit
Exact same team Kerria 5.3 twice so she performs better but doesn't need all that debuff.

Team with no debuff Lyco, Nerine, Cattleya,Mei, Kerria did even better got a 6.1 (she really needs maximum skill buff to perform her best) but there is no consistency as its how many specials she gets off before she gets KO'd
When we get more debuff blooms she could probably do 10 million all the time.

Kerria is still the best girl in the game no matter what you do with her.

Don't get me wrong, I love Alpinia...it's just that Kerria does Alpinia's job better. I predict you'll find that in your debuff squad, if Alpinia usually survives to run out the clock, then she'll pull ahead of Kerria due to counterattack damage. If Alpinia usually doesn't outlast the boss, then Kerria will pull ahead. It's not an issue of which girl is stronger with respect to damage done, but which girl deals more damage simply by surviving the longest.

Kerria actually outperformed on the exact same team and did even better with 4 skill activators and no debuff. The girl is just broken.

When we get the girls to support her that do debuff and Skill act, the sky is the limit!

for me, Alpinia is 2nd to last to die then Kerria is the last one

finally clear shop cept gold - didn't do gold since dat a lotta grinding
