    This is partially why those bricks are so damn precious... they don't come easy!! Don't buy anything else in that store and only brick the most/best Hime game breaking weapon you can find... Vishnu glaives, Mammon guns, Tish Lances, Raiko Hammers, etc.

    Wasting it on an FLBing an advent weapon you forgot to limit break at an older event or just a decent assault/defender weapon will have you crying in the long term.

    So, Dark Tower is over. For future reference, here are the results:
    Code:
    01. Sirocco	10800 [59k,330H,120E]	(Drama Club)
    01. Rori Juice	10800 [71k,289H,120E]	(Isekai)
    01. nonsensei	10800 [62k,265H,120E]	(Drama Club)
    01. blubber	10800 [74k,321H,120E]	(Susurrus)
    01. Sora	10800 [79k,317H,110E]	(Susurrus)
    01. igt		10800 [76k,314H,120E]	(Perfection)
    01. BadRiddance	10800 [70k,315H,120E]	(Susurrus)
    08. Geidt	10790 [63k,302H,120E]	(Drama Club)
    09. Xellosp	10780 [62k,276H,GE]	(=Akatsuki=)
    09. geoffchu	10780 [63k,224H,110E]	(Isekai)
    11. raistlan	10770 [66k,297H,115E]	(Drama Club?)
    11. alex	10770 [74k,271H,120E]	(談笑颩甡學習俓驗 (Talking and laughing))
    13. SiegeDragon	10760 [73k,273H,GE]	(Isekai)
    13. Bam		10760 [76k,341H,120E]	(Drama Club)
    13. Kayn	10760 [60k,252H,115E]	(DarkHell)
    13. AsD2038	10760 [76k,300H,100E]	(談笑颩甡學習俓驗 (Talking and laughing))
    13. dreamlitz	10760 [62k,272H,120E]	(Nonsense)
    18. Madnug	10750 [75k,340H,120E]	(=Akatsuki=)
    18. mlw61520	10750 [65k,275H,GE]	(Axis Mundi)
    18. PPT		10750 [72k,283H,120E]	(談笑颩甡學習俓驗 (Talking and laughing))
    Notice, Atk numbers are not reliable at all, as the number listed here is for whatever team they had when I inspected them. Also, as a new addition, GE means Guardian Eidolon. I can't put a number on it since the number will depend on Grid.

    Lots of perfect runs this time around. That's why next Tower will feature five more floors, probably stopping all perfect runs for a while again. We will see. I'm surprised that geoffchu dropped 10 points on floors 9/10 (I think), but only 10 points in 11-15. I've never seen him use non-Light, so him doing F15 off-element in 9 turns or less is quite impressive. Or maybe he just ran two Light teams, that's plenty plausible these days I guess. And finally, damn dreamlitz. You've been playing for ~9 months and have THAT Hime count?! Congrats on top20, though. Good work.

    Personally, rank94 is more than enough. My Light Grid is utterly awful and my Light Hime are AWFUL, so perfectly happy with this result. Let's see if I can actually accomplish anything in the next Tower, considering how RNG has blessed me with almost all Water SSR Himes and Leviathan.

    You liar, Cobble. You liar! Come back and fulfill your promise like a man!


    Ooookay then. There is a looooot for me to say for the second coming of Fire Tower, in about two weeks. First off, take this. I tried to compile a list of Hime who can do useful things for this Tower. I make no guarantee I didn't fuck something up, but hopefully somebody will find it useful:

    Many of these can be found from Aken's spreadsheet in a better format, but since not everything is there (such as burst+), I figured I should just make a small list.

    And then, up next, the plan itself.

    Jesus fucking christ what a hot fucking mess. I hope you can understand something about floors 16-20. Those floors don't mess around though. Like F16. Don't have Februus? Get fucked. Debuff immune boss with one blob, can rage which lasts for ~8m HP, and rage Overdrive is 9k AoE. For reference, F15 last boss is 8m HP total and debuff immune. So if you can't oneshot F15 boss (from full health!!!), you will probably spend all six keys trying to kill this fucking beast. What a complete monster, christ. And then there's still four floors to go!!

    I think the other thing I want to say is that wiki claimed that F18 Doom is 1t, which isn't true. It does NOT instantly kill you like 1t Doom would (the first tick happens before you get your turn, okay?). It's 2t Doom, which means that you CAN Cleanse it immediately and not die. You however DO NOT have two "turns" on your side to Cleanse it, since the first turn ticked when the Doom was applied.

    I have tried to gather damage numbers from DMM videos ~11 months ago, but it is difficult. It's mostly just ENORMOUS space whales who have videos up (that I could find), soooo... yeah. That made things difficult, but I've tried my best to get information on Rage gauges as well as damage numbers. Mistakes may have been made, you have been warned.

    The reason why I've put extra effort in this time is because I am going to tryhard this shit. And by that I mean I'll try to hit top10. Is that going to happen? Proooobably not. While RNG has blessed me with Leviathan (that I bricked to MLB) and almost all Water SSRs (I am only missing Aphrodite and Ea, plus the Limiteds Shear, Osiris and Diana)... my Grid is purely F2P. And not even +99'd yet. I am aiming to miss out on 10 points from the first 15 floors (aiming for 9 turns with Dark in F15), but this kind of rushed gameplay is so far from my style I will probably fuck up somewhere. Particularly my HP is low, which means that any fuck-up might even cause me to lose the entire floor.

    My theory for those floors is:
    1. Shingen EI +20
    2. Earring Set bonus +30 (Shingen uses turn1 abi1 for +35)
    3. 3 turns of attacking for +30
    As long as I bring one Hime that has +10 burst on her, that should allow me to Full burst reliably on the fourth turn. Shingen herself can be a problem... and another problem is that I'm not sure if I have enough time to grab all the Earring slots that I'll need. All SSRs are already done, but I need to slot lots of SRs too. And even if I do, my Earrings themselves are trash. Like level 1 trash.

    So, um, yeah. All in all, I'll try. But I might flop horrendously. I doubt I am clearing F20 with Dark, and especially not with that Water team. We will see.

    F16 Debuff immune 15M HP with 9K AOE?

    Right then. I guess that's more keys for floors 1-15 for me, then. I expect there will be a ton of players who exactly perfected floors 1-15 and nothing more. My usual tactics like Poseidon won't work; my water rely on debuffs.

    I will see what can be done to maximise damage from a zero-debuff team full burst. I'm assuming all that incoming damage will get me to full burst before it kills me, with a little help from my team. So, 1 team to kill the first room, maybe get a million on the boss before dying. To beat that in 3 keys will require around 6M burst damage on a non-debuffed enemy.

    Good luck Slashey, and thanks for the heads-up.

    Well, things have gone as planned on the first 15 floors. I doubt that they can help anyone, but videos:

    Took the team I was going to use on floor 15 to floor 20 because I forgot to move down and still somehow managed to beat it.

    Lol, so you ended up turtling 15F and cleared 20F normally?

    Congrats on full mission clear btw, you'll probably rank really well.

    Yeah, not what I intended but didn't have many himes left for floor 15 at the end and figured I'd play it safe. And thanks!

    Welp. I failed miserably. Lost 300 points on F18 after all Def Downs missed (failed 5 Hime alive). That alone probably dropped out of top20. Then lost 500 points from failing off-element clear (having my Shingen sniped on the last floor of Tower is kinda a tradition by now, but at least this time it was my fault for playing like shit). Will probably be outside top50... for somebody with almost all Water SSRs and 160% Levi, that's just outright pathetic.

    Sigh.

    Oh well. Videos:
    F16:
    F17:
    F18:
    F19:
    F20 off-element:
    F20 on-element:


    Anyway, until yesterday, I didn't understand what the whole turtling thing was about. Dreamlitz has mentioned it before but never properly explained it I believe. I didn't connect the dots from seeing somebody post a solo video of Fire Rag kill. Why didn't anyone tell me that SR Dragoon buffs last 3 turns instead of 2 like SSR Dragoons...?
    I should probably make a thread about turtling tomorrow. After work and hours of Tower, I'm too tired for that.

    In previous Towers full missions when losing 10 points per floor from 10-15 basically meant being outside top20. I wonder how much different things will be this time.

    I flopped hard on 13, wasted 2 keys and now I have no hope to past 16 because I am all but out of defensive hime.
