Miracle ticket thread

The problem with that is, there isn't much else you CAN build your team around. Because yeah, debuffs really are that good. I remember asking Bear the "then what?" question, but Bear being Bear, he basically just waved off the whole question. I think his best answer was "Berserk + Guard + Intercept", which is nice... for a turn. If the enemy happens to triple attack that turn. And only works for a select few element with select few exact Hime.

Aside from Svarog and Uriel, there's basically no Hime that can do respectable damage when debuffs aren't up (though we are getting more). Debuffs are extremely central to the game, and high resistance bosses just ruin the game for everyone who isn't an ultraspacewhale. You know, people not able to bring forth the very best full SSR combinations of on-element Hime into every fight.

You work with what you have, and debuffs are what makes "what you happen to have" work so far. Well, actually, we're past that stage now - you work with what you have and you have that full slvl20 Assault Grid to back it up.

You're on the right track. Work with whatever you have, but the idea is that you take your focus away from debuffs as the main cornerstone of your teambuilding strategy moving forward. That does mean you're working with less, and the idea sucks, but that's how it is.

It's a good thing to have, a luxury, that when it lands, you take full advantage of it. But you can't treat it as a necessity anymore, not with the incoming mainstay mechanics that invalidate debuffs. You can still use debuffs to handle the current content in the future, but you gonna have to use something else other than debuffs for the higher level content. It alone simply is not sufficient.

There actually exists a perfect (relatively) dps setup for light in DMM right now, if you're willing to take some time to look at the DMM wiki. (Which is why I banzai'ed light somewhere else). The future himes do actually do a lot more than just debuff and do have respectable dmg output methods (fast burst setups, fast nukes, you name it). That's where I'd be aiming my theorycrafting at, future content. Because as I feel this forum tends to miss, it doesn't look very far at future content and wonder what they'll be doing with it at all. There isn't any reason we shouldn't be using the information to our own advantage and yet we're kinda staling with the old meta.

Exactly.

Link?

Let's face it, the DMM wiki is an endless bog.

Uh. The DMM wiki is exactly what I used. As well as talking to some DMM players.

Let's just start with a single example to get you up to speed. Look for "Roux" (supposed to be Lugh), and see how borken she is for starters.

[Slashley]

It was just four months ago when I PM'd you an analysis on Lugh (06-29-2018), after Bear shrugged you off...

Anyway. I thought that there's some DMM page that does a full page on team comps, hidden somewhere in that endless swamp, but apparently not.
EDIT: Hey, that's more than four months. Close enough!

I forgot lul... Sorry these things slip my mind very often.



A list of light himes to look out for would be Mike AW Lugh Tishtriya Iris Takeminakata Metatron AW... basically a whole lot of light himes. Probably every light hime post-tish helps with dps in one way or another.

If I were to convey what Bear was trying to say from all the way back it would be this: accept the loss of debuffs being the cornerstone strategy and move forward. It's about time to think what we can do without debuffs.

Cthulhu should work pretty ok with Vohu Manah (and everyone and their mother want Vohu), --

I still don't understand the value of Vohu. I had a discussion about that in here. Which is, of course, closed now, since Laventale would much rather have this place be a chat rather than a forum.

Getting back on track:

So, here's the question again:

What CAN you do?

Mind you, none of those Hime aren't even out yet (well, uh, Michael is, just not Awakened). So that's not exactly an answer when you're going to need the next... 3-4 Miracle Tickets to get there. Mind you, on Nutaku saving up Jewels is probably useless (unless they have just changed the bonus rate).

At the moment, the best answer seems to be "better hope you are lucky and get all the SSRs and have a full Grid and get good rng against bosses lul"

I still don't understand the value of Vohu.

Vohu is 30% def down (water ele down to be exact) together with being fast at gaining BG.
30% ele down means you can get just one 20% def down Kamihime or SS as extra and you have 2-3 places for whatever Kamihime you like.
Fast BG gain means she won't be deadweight when it comes to FB.

Nutaku did boost drop rates for Kamihime (it's 15x now). Aside from that you can get Michael and maybe Atum, hoard for Lugh/Iris and mtix other one... not that great plan tbh with Atum being rather weak now and all.
SSR Artemis is not bad either. You can probably mtix both Tishtrya and Lugh. With team of Lugh/Tishtrya/SSR Artemis/Michael you also have quite ridiculous team.
There are some options.
