Updates are necessary. The current GO cycle isn't Dullahan, and the thread was kept updated with each stage mobs and shit. Also, it's not like the thread is gonna disappear, it just won't stay at the top of the forum.

Because GO is an always-on "Event" and this part here is VERY important, especially to newer players:

Correct, but it's Cycle 2. You just go to that link and that gives all the info needed for Reiki this (and next) week.

I actually have a co-worker (really nice guy) who is named Todd Johnson. We all call him Todd's Johnson...


Dejnov.

Don't double post, thank.

There doesn't seem to be much resources for GO targeted towards players that are still building their teams (45k power-ish), so I intend to make a new video series:

GO for those who can't wanpan

If you're a vet that's just been AAB-ing GO, just ignore this post please unless you actually want to be helpful to newbies (telling ppl to wanpan and AAB-ing GO with elemental disadvantage is fun and all but is NOT helpful to newbies.)

I will do my best to post GO clears within the following parameters:

• Use teams with power level around 45k
• Use only f2p weapons and eidolons (I will use 100%+ support eidos though - just reroll your friend list until you get one if you don't have 100% friends)
• Use the soul required for mission
• No elemental advantage
• Avoid using SSR himes to the extent that I can

The motivation is to give ppl ideas on how to clear GO with an underpowered team and move people from getting 1 ori every 2 weeks to 2-3 ori every 2 weeks (you have to be able to clear the final stage at least once to get to 10 mission points.)

Note that these videos will most likely feature the following:

• Light or wind teams - since those are the ones I have readily available
• Highly defensive teams
• Long and boring (price you must pay if you try to clear with weak teams)
  
  • I will post a brief description of the (intended) strategy and the time when the last wave starts in the video description so you don't have to watch the whole thing
• Lots of stupid mistakes you can point to and laugh at (I normally use all SSR light teams, so I will be using himes I am unfamiliar with in these videos)

These videos will most likely NOT feature the following:

• All himes survive
• 15 turn clear

Disclaimer:

• I cannot guarantee that I can post clears for every GO within the aforementioned parameters - I only know that every single GO in the current cycle can be cleared with a light team using SSRs with less than 50k power, no personal fluffy no phantom grid no exceed weapons, 'cos that's what I used and gotten 20 mission points for every single GO last time round
• I cannot guarantee that I will be able to post clears in a timely manner or even for every single GO - it all depends on how much spare time I have, which is not that much - whatever time I spend on this will be coming out of time doing rag raids btw
• Please don't complain to me about how it's impossible to get to 45k power - if you can't get there, that probably means you don't even have a full disaster SR grid with a few MLB event SSR weapons and eidolons. It MIGHT be possible to clear with even less firepower, but honestly it'll probably take me too much time to plan and I don't have infinite spare time unfortunately. Aim for clearing first 3 waves so you still get 1 ori every 2 weeks if you can't get that level of firepower.
• Please don't complain to me about how you don't have the specific himes I used and therefore the video is completely useless to you - for my first video, I am using 3 SR and 3 R, if you can't put together a team that is better than that, you NEED to reroll, there's not much I can do if you have literally nothing to work with; this is meant to give you ideas - go study the himes you have and usually you can find a combo that works (good practice for tower if nothing else)
• Please don't tell me about how stupid it is to use defensive teams unless you can post a video of you clearing GO with a 45k power glass cannon team with little or no SSR. My personal experience is that endurance teams have the highest success rate for weaker players in most single-player content - the main downside is that it takes a lot longer to clear content. It's not like there're unique solutions to GO, so you are welcome to try different strategies, my intention is only to show what CAN work.
• Please don't tell me to wanpan or AAB GO unless you can post a video of you wanpan or AAB-ing GO with a 45k power team; for the record, I have been AAB-ing GO after I'm done with all missions on day 1 this time round, so it's not like I can't do it. I am making these videos for people that are still building their teams and trying to limit myself to tools that most ppl will have access to.
• Please don't complain to me about how long and boring the videos are. Just read the description and skip around or skip the video altogether if you just want ideas. I do the videos mainly as proof that it can be done so ppl dun bite my head off every time I propose an idea that they think is unworkable and stupid and/or insist that it can only be done with a certain skill that they do not have. E.g. I've seen some ppl say that Reiki can't be done off-element without good dmg cut and therefore Andromeda clear is impossible 'cos they dun have a dmg cut hime - simply not true.
• Btw, I do a lot of things in Kamihime that a lot of people consider very stupid. All I can say is that it works. If you can do things better/faster within the same limitations, feel free to call me whatever names you want. If you're doing it with your MLB 100%+ eido and full FLB grid and multiple MLB kaisers, just remember that most of us dun have the good fortune of having that (yet) and we're just trying to get by with what we have.

Now, with all that out of the way, my first video is up: Reiki clear with a 45k power wind team using Andromeda (as required by mission), 3 SR and 3 R, no gacha weapons and no gacha eidolons. Made tons of mistakes and took me half an hour, but most people should be able to put together a better team than that, so it should take most ppl less time.


tl;dr - ideas for trying to clear GO with underpowered teams
if you're a vet, nothing of interest to you here, continue AAB-ing GO and ignore this post

How do you manage to get such high HP values? I’m 44k power and the highest I can get is 8.9k HP with double Huanglong

That particular team had Andromeda's HP soul weapon and Garuda axe both at SL20, which adds up to 40% defender value. Your double Huanglong setup should give you 40% defender as well though, so if you're at 8.9k HP, that means your base is around 6.3k only. My base is around 7k+ for that video. Do you have all MLB event eidolon grid yet?

8.9k hp might be cutting it a little close you want to replicate my stall-heal-revive strategy. If you have a hime that provides dmg cut or other defenses, it can make up for it though. Joan EX revive is also workable if you can spare the EX slot.

Btw, I hope no one is waiting for my 45k SR-only Solomon clear for Reiki. I tried twice and failed with my light SR/R-only team - low-powered Solomon doesn't nuke nearly hard enough for me to bypass phases and provides no utility, so I'm gonna have to borrow at least one SSR to make up for it. With UE push days coming up though, I'm not sure if I'll have time to get it done.

EDIT:
I should also mention, if you intend to do the clear with [X] soul missions with an underpowered team, it is strongly advised that you invest some MP into that soul, particularly the utility that the soul brings (e.g. max out heal on Andromeda, max out ability dmg on Solomon etc.) It is also a good idea to max out DATA if you have the MP to spare, since soul is usually the bottleneck for burst.

If you don't have the resources to invest in the different souls that GO requires, just ignore those missions (e.g. I think next week it's Sieg, I would NOT invest in that soul unless you're drowning in MP.) You don't need to do the soul-specific missions if you're just aiming for 2 ori per cycle and even if you're aiming for 3 ori, you can get it if you clear every other mission.

Fuck Icarus and her 2 fucking purges.

And fuck her debuff resistance as well. Should I build a team with mostly buffs then?

It turns out that if you bring enough dmg mitigation, you can just turtle and let Icarus burn herself to death. Used 1 SSR (Gaia AW), 2 SR and 3 R and took me 40 min, but cleared GO with 37k power wind team, no losses XD

My wind grid absolutely sucks as you can see at the beginning of the video. If you have a more passable grid, it shouldn't take you nearly as long.

I will not be attempting a Sieg clear with 45k-ish power team btw, too busy this week to come up with a non-cheese strategy. I will try to do a proper Mordred run for next week, but no promises.
