He is so new this might not be the case for him. Yet. Eventually, absolutely.
"-- and I should focus more on weapons/himes than eidolon?"
MLB Eidolons will give you a lot of stats - especially HP. For veteran players, the difference between 30% and 50% is not huge, since it's often a difference between 270% and 290%. Is 290% better? Sure. But not by that much. And we're not even talking about the difference between Character Atk (Sleipnir) and Elemental Atk (Vlad, Fafnir).What can I say - I love math.
What I don't like is math which might be horrendously wrong. I noticed mistakes and had to revise a couple of times, so things could be badly wrong there. Should've made a spreadsheet to calculate the stuff for me...
I need to check those maths proper once I get back home from x-mas stuffs. Yeah, busy times for everyone.When I stopped playing for four months, I had all Water SSRs except Ea and the two healers (much to my annoyance). Since then, Neptune, Water Osiris and Celia have come out, I believe.
I'm running Herc/Cthulhu/Snow Raph/Ryu-Oh/Asherah. The biggest reason for this comp is that it runs a fun balance between control (two Orb eaters, BP, -35% Atk debuff, 30% damage cut) and damage (PF, -80% Def debuff) with Asherah and Fenrir there just for Crit and burst memes. Is it optimal? Hell no, but I just love playing control too much. Having access to a on-element healer sure would be nice, but what can you do. RNG is going to RNG. Oh RNG, why you give me almost all Waters, but zero Lights (1st MT was Sol) and almost zero Darks? Anyway, Dark AQ5 was great fun when juggling Orb eating, Charm and BP to take zero Overdrives. Am certainly looking forward to that again next week, I bet something will go horrendously wrong~
I have masters degree in maths and... well, I probably love math much less than you. But numbers are nice.
Understandable, that's composition looks actually really good and I'd change either Ryu-Oh or Snow Raph (probably former) for Sarawswati only if I wanted more damage. Yours team is more stable though and if it's not about complete damage race it should be more fail-proof. My choices are quite... constricted, so I am working with what I have.
I've played for about 5 weeks and am also maining Water, having started with Rudra and Ryu-Oh. There've since been a few events beneficial to Water (including the upcoming Rahab event which I'm super excited about!). The back-to-back Miracle Tickets also helped my start, which I used on [Snow Angel] Raphael and Aphrodite.
I probably should've delayed the second Miracle Ticket as I drew Nike (Unleashed) immediately afterwards from a Premium Ticket (interestingly, Nike Unleashed and Jupiter back-to-back. I've found drawing two Premium Tickets one at a time has consistently given me two of the same rarity, though I'm not sure if this is a bug or coincidence. As a new player I'll probably get a good amount of mileage out of my two healers before I have too much HP for them to have a significant impact, and Aphrodite gains greater usage where her status cleansing skill is relevant.
I don't have nearly as much going on for other elements alas, mainly Thunder and Dark as I have one SSR Kamihime each for them in Jupiter and Berith respectively with an Ouroboros I started with to help buff them a bit more (am phasing Ouroboros out of my standard lineups though due to her low stats compared to limit breakable event Eidolons). I'd want to focus on Wind next if anything to cover my Thunder weakness, but I just have a bunch of Wind SRs (Heimdallr, Meave, Cybele and Neamhain) with no SSR Eidolon to boost them yet (I have a Level 100 Houkei as a Wind Eidolon but hope to replace her with something that can boost Wind damage a bit ASAP.)
For the next Miracle Ticket I'm at a crossroads between Asherah and Cthulhu. I've seen the merits of these two debated and contested before and am leaning toward Asherah with the future of the element leaning more towards buffs and burst damage. That said, Cthulhu would synergize perfectly with my current defensive control set-up and is confirmed as Awakenable later down the line which is nice as I don't have any Awakenable Kamihime so far. I'm saving up my Magic Jewels until Vohu Mana is featured, I have 17325 so far and hope to have at least 30000 by then, so that could influence my pick as I reckon she'd synergize with Asherah. I've still got a while to go before I can unlock Shingen and Provisional Forest though, so I tend to use D'artagnan and Mordred for Souls (D'artagnan for easier/repetitive fights to boost drop rates and Mordred for harder fights and am going for Hercules next. If someone has advice going forward that would be much appreciated.
for next MT u just have to wait and see what u will have at ur disposal at that momentFor the next Miracle Ticket I'm at a crossroads between Asherah and Cthulhu.
