When i started on DMM, I failed to reroll into ptw eydo and picked Vohu + Lakshmi account. I guess that they+ Venus/Belphy from sr miracle + nike sr + Tiamat were not weaker, but much stronger starter team then Rudra+ r/sr team. I was suffering from no water events with disaster weapons, but Rudra acc should be in the same situation. In long term PTW eydo should be better as single item than almost any hime, but it doesn't mean that you can't play with no Hrae/Rudra/etc. You can have enough 100% eydo for GO/rognarok advents etc even withount friends. Why everybody (including me) advices to reroll into 100% eydo? because a) you can't miracle them if you ready to spend $50 like any non-limited hime, and b) you will have a lot of friends with 100% eydo. But acc with 2+ same element core hime shouldn' be weaker if you are not lucky with your rerolls.
Team with trash characters + 100% eydo can't deal more damage than good SSR team + 40%/5%data or 45% eydo. If we talk about water, Tiamat=>Rudra is about 25% damage boost. It's a lot, but any r/sr =>Lakshmi/Shiva aw - it's much more damage boost. (Lakshmi release in this April, so it's not so long wait).
Thunder has Gryla as free healer hime. You may use her or off-element heal if needed (Sol aw/Seth etc)How are you supposed to use a thunder grid efficiently?
I spent some time improving my thunder team for the upcoming water tower, but it just feels meh.
My hime are Tyr (Awakened), Jupiter, Mammon, Raiko Backline: Thor and that SR healer hime.
The Soul and not having a healer hime (not even with a miracle ticket) is a huge problem
I cant decide on a soul weapon because I feel like they just die if I dont use Andromeda.
. I'm at around 51k attack and they sit at like 11k hp ingame, and if I use another soul like Herc or Shingen, I make it to A4 thunder Q at like 50% hp on my hime and then barely scrape by defeating the boss. Same thing with Guild order, maybe they can barely manage Water but can't ever kill the other elements. And rag raids are just big bags of hp with meh damage, but u gotta sustain it somehow.
I know Jupiter is kinda meh, but honestly Thor feels like trash and I'm glad I didn't awaken her. But what other hime could even make a difference if your just gonna be dying to the boss after your done with the trash mobs?
For comparison I Can auto Thunder AQ 4 on my water grid (which is indeed a good chunk better), but not AQ 5.
Or is thunder just a shit element if you didn't manage to pull Thunder Aphro?
