Thread: Using Two Princesses?

Guess she'll also wreck dragons at anya's revival. But she's already good to have.

She's also entirely unnecessary for an event of this level.

I brought her for Imelia's event because of the lich king.

I use Imelia and Claudia as my primary duelists/lightning rods. I used to use Themis but these 2 (even if not mix costed) are just better. Congrats on having Sherry - I'd love to have her in my lineup.

Eh, I honestly wouldn't worry about it for quite a while given that Princesses have mixed defenses like Valkyrie and can do well against armor like Bandits while the Prince himself develps into a more reliable cheap blocker than pre-SAW Cypria or any of the Silver rogues. Valk ramp can be pretty nice when the devs provide a conga line of goblins to munch on but for the most part there's few situations where maps demand a powerful one blocker AND princesses are obviously too expensive for the job.

She's essentially a watered down Lilia which is decent for newbies but there are plenty of duelists that outclass her in strength/cost ratio.

Anyways, TC like ZeroZet said, the primary issue to be wary of with using two princesses is UP cost. You will likely want a cheaper duelist (Valkyrie or Bandit, perhaps) as an option if UP is tight. Those two total 42 UP together, which is not cheap.

In terms of Awakening further down the road, Sherry is first, easily. Any non-whale is going to love her buff to gold and silver units (and bronze/iron but bronze are highly situational and iron lol). Sherry is offensive in nature, Lilia is defensive, which you actually deploy in a slot will depend on which you need there and then.

In terms of leveling, make sure your core units (healers, archers, Leanne/Bernice/Gellius and Katie/Julian/Jerome/Zenobia) are leveled and CC'd first. Having high powered duelists isn't going to 3* maps for you if you don't have the rest of the team up to snuff. Post your owned units if you want some advice on leveling priorities.

I already had a previous post for leveling advice, and my core team is coming along nicely tbh. I've got a CC Misha who's filling my role as a quick duelist to get in there and delay for a bit-- her self heal is a god send if I have to drop her away from my core healers. This was mainly a thread I made just because I was curious if there was a point in bothering with Princesses or not.

I've got four of them now, thanks to this event. I just drew Olivie earlier today, and I don't see me being unable to get Anya. This game is quite literally tossing these Princesses to me and I have no clue what to do with them all!

All the Plat+ Princesses are fully viable, but they excel at different things/on different teams. Sherry, as mentioned before, is a F2P's best friend since their teams will be mostly gold/silver/event plat and she buffs all gold and lower rarity units with AW, plus she's a great offensive duelist. Lilia is a super tough tank, while Olivie buffs elves (including dark) and dwarves, and I think a few others, and her skill lets her dodge physical attacks (100% rate at max skill level!) while she (being an elf) comes with higher Resistance than other princesses (though less HP as well). Claudia is more balanced with an anti-dragon bonus and Skill Awakening (whenever we get it) gives her true damage (instead of magical), while Sybilla is an engine of death (AW lets her attack at range during skill). Anya is a bit different being more expensive and coming with 2 blocks instead of 1 (higher stats to back that up, though).

TLDR: Which princesses you focus on depends on your team (which units benefit from Olivie/Sherry buffs and whether you need more defensive or offensive minded duelists)

Lilia SAW will let her out-DPS the other princesses, last I checked.

I believe Olivie buffs Spica, Pupuru, Chydis, Marius, Yuyu, Rowanna, Rosalie, Lauren, Noel, and Gustav. And Atla, I guess, if you even use him. Probably some others we don't have yet.

Claudia's default skill has true damage too, not just her SAW.

Post SAW Lilia can hit higher peak stats than the other princesses thanks to having very high multipliers but her base attack is behind the other plat princesses and she suffers from long initial and reuse timers. Overall Sybilla and Sherry tend to beat her out in overall dps if you deploy them properly--Sherry's SAW is a bit situational and trickier to use than the other Princess but the burst damage is stupid powerful when used to full effect while Sybilla's all-around stats and friendly timers makes her dead simple to use. Lilia's real strength is that she can ignore status effects and jack up her defenses enough to duel most heavy hitters whereas the others would often rather rather act as damage support. Olivie also does just fine since increased attack speed is always nice on a unit that ignores defense. Claudia has a ranged true damage niche but people sometimes fail to realize that her attack rate is considerably lower than the previously mentioned units.

Thanks for adding the impact of Skill AW, since we don't have that and I don't play on DMM I don't know much about the impact of the changes it brings.
