Uff thanks for clearing that up. I was concerned about claiming some stuff I didnt even fight for lol

... what kind of teams are people fielding?

Without Oberon, I'm finding it difficult to make a proper team. Despite having three SSRs:
Odin, entirely unusable due to taking double damage 3/8 turns in AAB.
Gaia, who would be amazing when Awakened, but without, she's largely useless in AAB.
Titania, who is entirely braindead in AAB and is literally only good for her +30 self-Burst generation every 4 turns.

Eventually I ended up with Mordred with Trial by Jury, Titania-Scathach-anyone-Sol. It's... such an awkward team with -50% Atk and -25% Def, but it works.
I've also tried Cass with Black Propaganda, Titania-Scathach-Cybele-Sol, but -35% Atk and -30% Def with no Blind and Charm tends to end in disaster even with double heals and double Dispels.

I only have 1 wind SSR - Titania, who I only got about 4 days ago too. And ye sadly, I don't have Oberon either. :<

Until recently, I've just been running Arthur(w/ ambush)/Tita/Cybele/Zeph/Casp. Been doing fine on AAB even up into the lvl 300 bosses, yes even with half my himes being R, LOL. Though recently, I've taken Caspiel out of my party to test some issues related with the freeze/crash issues.

Cassiopeia w/ Black Propaganda, Cybele, Guan Yu, Oberon, Zephyrus.
The highest I've solo'd is somewhere in the 140's. I don't think that my union even gets above 150's/160's. Works out for me though, since I play manually, so I'd probably get exhausted if we went higher.
You guys know why Cybele/Oberon/Zephyrus are there. But why Guan Yu? That fifth slot kind of doesn't matter much. Caspiel would be better, and I do have her. But I kinda got tired of having to use her debuff every 3rd turn. I should swap her in for ults at least, though. Among the rest of what's available to me, I opted for Guan Yu having two direct damage skills for rage gauge manipulation in case I screw up somewhere. I usually don't need two, but mistakes have been made at times.

I'm using my light team cause they do double the damage my wind team does... on this thunder event. Lol.

I used my wind team for a while on day one and my party was Joan+Black Prop, Cybele, Oberon, Cronus and Zeph. I could probably have used someone else instead Joan though,in which I was opting for Cass but I tried my light team once and basically just use them now for this event.

Caspiel huh... come to think of it, I could use her. Since Ultimate uses Atk Up - which largely negates the advantage you get from Caspiel - I had just bypassed her. But since Ultimates are starting to be done, I could certainly use her. That means I can also swap Mordred for somebody else, that'll make turns notably faster so Caspiel's debuffs would stack just a little more.

Why Arthur instead of just plain Gawain? For the cost of an EX slot, you get a tiny bit of extra Atk, the combo+ passive (active 3/5 turns) and more Burst. Is that worth it?

If this were a solo event, you would probably be right with that. But with an active union, and with only 3 available rooms in experts at any given time, I find myself pretty much never alone even if I tried. And most of my union teammates have far better teams with better debuffs than me as well, so I can just rely on my union mates to carry me and cover all the debuffs. ^_^
So really, that ex slot pretty much becomes useless considering whatever I can fill in that slot is usually always covered anyway.

I've had leeches come into my solo Ultimates and cause a wipe because they triggered extra buffs and didn't bring Chaos Magic to clear them.

Managed to AAB a Level 152 Expert Demon!

I'm running this team:


I use Chaos Magic on Mordred, which keeps the buffs off. Been auto-battle soloing 60+ Ultimates with this setup with Cybele instead of Iblis (who is a new addition). Not sure if the weaker class B debuff will be worth the Blind.
