On a contrary, isn't it good to start transitioning to Thunder, if you have 100% Eido? Likely, you will be able to fill in the Thunder team faster, than you will be able to get 100% light Eido...

Probably... Tidalwake seems to be complaining about thunder being hard to play though. Sometimes having options is more important than hitting hard, and light definitely provides options given the himes he has. Dejnov gave more details on light himes that further expands the tactical options. I know very little about thunder, so I don't know whether it gets easier/more versatile with the right himes so I can't comment further (where are the thunder mains, Slashley you want to comment?)


Also, I didn't notice this until I reread the posts but:

The affliction block is on 7T so it's hard to use Eros to consistently speed up your team, but it definitely helps.

Very important note about Eros AW - whenever she bursts, she can recast the affliction block, so on a fast light team, she can have it up pretty much all the time unless you're up against bosses that spam DoT every turn or something (but that also means your team will be super fast as a result.)

I'd say Thunder is still a very straightforward "kill it before it kills you" element. Technically you can play a more "control" build now that Dian is out, I guess. Or a Phantom Elemental Lord Thor build, I mean, that's always an option.

Either way, the problem with Thunder is that unless you have Thunder Aphro, Fire just does the whole "kill it before it kills you" thing way better. With Kirin, if you want to be serious with Thunder you need to be looking at the first MT of 2020, which will hopefully give us mere mortals Thunder Aphro. So, if you want to commit to that build, grabbing Marduk/Dian/Raiko would probably be a good option for now.

EDIT: Oh hey, I just noticed that the guy we're talking about has Kirin, Thunder Aphro, Marduk and Raiko, so is only missing Dian.
If his Thunder feels squishy after that, he'll just need more Assault/Defenders in his Grid (or a Phantom Gun Grid, I guess?).

Shamash has blob eat on burst (!!) and Atum has a single source heal (~5k or so) and Vigor buff (+50%) on burst. Combine either/both with Michael and Tishtrya to keep them going can be a potent combination. That gives you one heavy hitter a (Vigor/TA/Crit/ Counterattack) buffed Shamash or, if she's doing well on life, you can try buffing others with Vigor as you go through each full burst.

You can rotate Eros out as needed on heavy affliction content (as it's hard to have room for Sol these days). Another option with the Shamash and Mich/Tish combo is to add Vishnu instead of Atum as she generates a 4T barrier on burst (Shamash also draws attacks) which can swap in a 2nd heavy hitter. That drops the Vigor buff and the 5k solo heal from Atum, but adds the second big hitter and makes the team even faster. Or if you're aiming for DEF down, you can add/swap Lugh/Tsuku/Arty to the choice. I believe that Tsuku is a weaker choice compared to Lugh and/or Arty, but will work to meet the DEF down cap.

Depending on what you have and the content you're facing you can switch Himes out and in as needed. Building 'content' specific teams is how Light overcomes difficult content. Wind does this also very very well. The biggest issue with this gameplay, as opposed to the get the few borken Himes for you element, is that you have to build specific rosters (I have four dedicated rosters atm, but am trying to find a 5th slot and different Himes) and then you will also have to farm enough accessories and magna for all of those teams. Some elements can get away with the '4 best Himes EVAR!!' and that makes it cheap to keep them going. I'm struggling to get my wish list below 7 or 8 foundational Himes. Mike and Tish are in almost every team, but the others rotate as they're needed. I see a lot of Light Rag farming in my future...


Dejnov.


P.S. Keep forgetting about Iris and how she'll change the game... just a couple more months...

So, SR Miracle Ticket is available from the new Panel Missions. I'm surprised there isn't already a dozen questions on what is the best SR to get. Well, maybe that'll happen tomorrow, since it's rather easy to take your Gem Gachas before you reach page3, locking you out for today.


And on a slightly related note, no, I don't have a good answer for who are the best SRs for each element.

[Kitty]

IMO, best SRs for each element:

Fire: Argos or SR Nergal (that's who I picked) <3
Water: Haurvatat or Venus
Wind: Iblis or Oberon
Thunder: Cyclops or Gryla
Light: Diana or Durga or Forseti
Dark: Paimon or DDiana ... or Buer <3

Notable skills:

Argos taunt/intercept/heal self
SR Nergal is basically a baby Gaia but w/ a nice DATA buff to allies
Haurvatat is taunt/intercept
Venus is a baby WRaphael
Iblis and Oberon are both nice debuffers, Iblis having a nice elemental team buff
Cyclops has a lovely zeal/regen combo and Gryla is a good healer along with a 30%? ATK buff to allies (for 1 turn)
Diana is easily the best light SR with her allies 15% ATK buff + -15% DEF debuff to enemy, Durga is a fun random buffer to have w/ rampage/intercept, etc and Forseti is a mini mordred but with Combo rate down to enemy? iirc.
Paimon is a baby Shingen, short CD on cumulative burst DMG stacks, DDiana is a 1.5K healer iirc and Buer is a healer + potion maker.

Bonus KH - Mithra is super good with SUPER short CDs and OP buffs

Light DMG (3x Burst DMG). Uses all Charges for DMG↑ (+90% per Charge)

Deal Light DMG to an enemy and applies 2 Charges (Max.: 10) (3T CD, no expiration)

ATK/DEF↑ (B Frame +15%) to self. By consuming a Charge, increases to +30%. (4T CD, 3TD)

Guaranteed Double Attack to self. By consuming a Charge, changes to Guaranteed Triple Attack (4T CD, 1TD)

Assist: Obtainable Gems↑ (+5%)

[Laventale]

Wind: Iblis or Oberon

It's funny that, even with all the powercreep, these 2 characters that have been since, pretty much, the start of the game, keep being so important to poorfags like me.

[Chrestomancy]

Still no SSR Fire for me, so SR Nergal looks good - if available.

[Kitty]

IIRC, you can get any SR that came out even after the MTix came out.
e.g. next event Metis comes out, and you can claim her from this campaigns SR MTix.
Not sure, though. It was like that for DMM ones, and the previous SR MTix we got.

(but yes, SR Nergal is definitely available, as that's who I picked myself.)

My team consists of the following: Uriel, Svarog, Argos and Culyune, as well as Belial. I just bought the miracle ticket (and got nothing from the 10x pull) so I was wondering who I should snap up from it. My options (at least those that I know of) are Amaterasu and Ares, but are there any other kamihime worth getting from the MTix? Please enlighten me.
