I made an account not long after the game launched on nutaku a while back and picked up where I left off a few weeks ago. Things were going swimmingly until I decided to dig a little deeper into the game mechanics, and after reading some of this thread and information on the wiki it turned out that every decision I ever made on that account was terrible and I needed to just start over. I started rerolling without really setting a target, and in the meantime I looked through the discord and this forum a bit to see what was generally considered a top-tier start. There's a number of comments about 100%/140% Eidolons being a good starting point, but if there's been a recent discussion on which ones are best and what himes to try and pair them with, I've missed it somewhere. Since I still don't understand the mid-to-late game well enough to identify the "core" himes on my own, I was hoping to get some feedback on my progress and help setting a target from you experts.
So far I have one 140% roll and three 100% rolls with a element-matching hime:
Nidhoggr with no matching SSR himes.
Anubis + Amon Unleashed
Belial + Emperor of Hell Beelzebub
Kirin + Nuwa
I'm working from home for the forseeable future due to the virus outbreak, so my current plan was to keep rolling for a 140% plus a "core" hime of the matching element.
1. Of the four primary elements with 140% eidolons, are any of them substantially better or worse than the others?
2. I am currently under the impression that a Managarmr + Core SSR Light hime roll would be almost as good (but not quite) as a 140% + Core matching SSR roll, is this true?
3. I also heard that dark is (in general) the weakest element at the moment and that even with a core SSR to match, Anubis probably isn't optimal; is this also true, or should I go with my Amon[U]/Anubis roll?
4. I am struggling to determine which himes are "core" for the primary elements. I know some of the "best of the best" from reading through this thread and recent discord conversations, but beyond the obvious Michael/Cu Chulainn, how do I go about determining if a "hundo" with a matching element SSR hime is good enough to keep?
Any thoughts appreciated!
