Thread: Best SR team for each element

Thanks Dreamlitz for your input. I planned to edit the first post with a Light team, but I was overwhelmed by the many options and utility the element has. I mean, the source cited so many conflicting himes - namely I was not sure about running Uzume and Uranus alongside Diana, those 3 provide A-Frame Attack Up!... I'd need to build the team from scratch. Also, Light even got its own Black Propaganda with Forseti.

If I had to summarize a best team for Light, it would definitely have Diana, Amaterasu (I got her, and it is sweet not be forced to pick EX Sniper Shot), and Forseti. Djehuti as sub. Attar or Belobog as healers, or other hime if Andromeda is the Soul or content is easy enough.

Think mihr is worth a mention for fire. Been running essentially a fire SR team, mainly to experiment with, and she brings some solid consistency to it.
3 turns of rampage and +20% bg fill rate (7CD), 1 turn of whole frontline taunt and intercept (idk what the multiplier is but I've seen some high numbers for the shit grid I have), then boost her combo rate (4T, 9CD).

The cds are bit high, but they haven't been a problem getting a full burst every 5 turns.

Team I use is joan (SS), nataku, mihr, brynhildr, uriel.
I have culyune and Hephaestus, but anytime I use culyunes 3rd skill it crashes the game...very annoying.

I am, for the moment, F2P and a total noob. I “lucked” into 3x SSR Hime to start: Mars (fire), Mammon (thunder and Athena (light). As the new player gatcha and rewards rolled in, I ended up with two more light SR hime. The only element to compete was fire (SR Amon and one other), but I decided to go light. The question: go my last noob SR miracle ticket, not sure what to do with it.

Current team:
Athena (‘cause SSR)
Diana (‘cause everyone says so, my first miracle ticket)
Metis
Sukunahikona

I’ve got a few other “R” hime, but haven’t looked closely because I typically use the reserve for leveling other hime during low level content. To me, the obvious weak link here is Sukuna. The question is do I continue to build light and with who. I don’t think I have a healer...so...Belabog, I guess. Otherwise I can work on trying to fill out another element (Fire and Thunder are my most complete options, only have one Dark SR. My only SSR Eidolon align with Thunder and Dark). Thoughts?

Good choice, she will probably remain on your team most of the time unless you draw SSR Artemis, Lugh or Iris.

See if you have Kubera. She will be awesome when paired with Athena's cover - complete dmg nullification every 2/10T for non-AoE attacks, and Athena provides 25% dmg cut 1/3T for the rest. Kubera also has 40% def up for 2/4T at 15% hp cost if you need to turtle more. If only they allowed you to use SR miracle tickets to get R, I would say Kubera is more valuable to you than other SRs.

To me, the obvious weak link here is Sukuna.

No, she is your primary dmg dealer right now (well Athena, too when she bursts.) I would drop Metis asap. You can use her to tank an AoE OD, get her killed and get a sub on, but is dead weight otherwise. Her weapon otoh, is very good for newbie though, so dun fodder it yet.

I don’t think I have a healer...so...Belabog, I guess.

Belobog is your only option if you insist on getting a healer (Attar is an event hime, although if by next April you still don't have her, you should be able to get her from epic quests.) However, I would actually run Cassio as soul if you want heal. You'll need to unlock her for CM anyway and she does the job so much better than Belobog. Also, you mentioned that you are f2p 'for the moment'. If you ever decide to change your mind, the beginner mtix for light gives you Sol and will make Belobog completely obsolete (if you're pretty sure $30 is too much for you or your account is older than 30 days, just ignore that last sentence, I'm just trying to cover all the bases here.)

My vote would actually go to Forseti. If you're going to play light and you missed getting light Ama from events and you don't have Tish, Lugh, Iris or Tsuku, you'll most likely be EX-ing sniper shot most of the time. Forseti's BP is invaluable in that case and she doesn't become obsolete unless you draw Raphael and AW her.

My only SSR Eidolon align with Thunder and Dark).

Doesn't matter. LB0 gacha eidolons suck. Farm as many standard and expert disaster raids as you can and get St. Nick or Barong MLB from the eidolon orb shop to use as your main. Do all events to get MLB SSR eidolons to boost your stats. Non-100% gacha eidolons are really only useful if you can LB them or you got ones with useful actives (e.g. Behemoth.)

DLJ: I like Metis (as she blocks afflictions, which comes in handy against that busted Dark Disaster) but would not main her.Athena is a good defensive hime, so your team's defense seems good with her alone. Still needs IMHO an healer, so either go with Andromeda or pick Belobog.The EX will be Sniper Shot most of the time.

Also, I feel your DPS could do better, as Diana is the only debuffer (aside the mandatory Sniper Shot). Try bringing Caspiel instead of Metis or Sukunahikona. Caspiel will debuff the shit out of the enemy's defense, and Athena will guarantee she won't be hit as often.

So your team could be:

Hercules or Shingen with Sniper Shot (Atk Def -20%) I picked these two because they have the better tools to fill their Bursts before Athena's
Athena (in front row as she will likely have the most HP and may profit from taking most of the damage, filling her burst.)
Diana (Def -15%. In front row because she can heal herself)
Belobog (as healer, and for her Atk -15%. Also her skillset makes both Sukunahikona -Regen- and Metis -afflictions healing- replaceable)
Caspiel (for Def -10%. 2 stacks of her other ability allows the team to reach the -50% Def down cap)

Caspiel may seem like the weak link in that build, but note that Athena and Belobog will work to keep her alive while she melts the enemy defense. She can be substituted when/if Hercules get her Soul Weapon that debuffs defense.

IF DONT WANT TO SPEND MT ON BELOBOG:

Andromeda with Sniper Shot
Athena
Diana
Sukunahikona (she brings in regeneration, but I still think that debuffing Atk with Belobog would fare better at keeping Caspiel alive. OTOH her stacking self-buffs can exploit the melted Defense, which can be a high-risk high-reward deal)
Caspiel

Dreamlitz: I don't think EX Black Propaganda (or Forseti for that matter) is mandatory for the team's survivability. Between Athena covering attacks and cutting damage every 3 turns, and Belobog providing -35% Attack Down and regeneration, the team could tank some Overdrives... Also, Athena, Diana and Hercules can buff their own defenses, so the lack of a group Defense buff is not a major drawback.

While still being a beginner, I advice against unlocking Andromeda. Note, that at first SP generation is very fast from level ups - you get your first legendary soul within days. Second one in a week or so (depending how hardcore). But unless you grind hard, third legendary soul will be unlocked months in. If you unlock Andromeda, you will either lack BP from Morderd or Sniper Shot for a very long time. Not only that, but at that point, you will likely want to go for Herc as third soul... So, unlocking Andro early on, will set you back many weeks. And by the time you get to her otherwise, a lot can change in your setup with even the f2p draws. Note that dreamlitz above recommends Cassiopeia, who is on the route to D'art anyway.

Yup.

Obligatory The "which Soul should I use?" thread reminder.

It is worth noting that sometimes it is even advisable to run Cassiopeia's skillset over Andromeda's. You get slightly weaker healing and Defense buff, and in turn get access to her Chaos Magic without using a valuable EX slot. Resuscitation is not as overpowered as it may seem at first glance.

So yeah, D'art, Mordred and Hercules should be unlocked before Andromeda.

Checked out Mihr on Wiki, she looks awesome. Long CDs don't matter if the damage is high!
