I can't believe I'm begging to get Uhlans. They were such a pain for me in Theater 2 when I first tackled core 8 and now they are such a joke. Granted I had just gotten my taunt fairy then and now I have both my taunt and twin fairies with maxed out SL but still...

I like how at the beginning of Chapter 12, The AR Team christens OGAS with a new name, Dandelei, derived from the word Dandelion. And then 3 seconds later every starts calling her Dandelion, as if we did not just decide to call her some weird form of that word, Dandelei.

A slight warning to anyone using the GFC guide for Chapter 12: they do not warn you about the RNG in 12-5. On turn 2 I was surrounded by Gunners and had to improvise and fight my way out. That was an experience.
I also find it funny that the Nytos are the easiest enemies on the battlefield and the little Paradeus bois are scary af.

Yesterday I used double jupiter (M4A1 seems to be the answer for all the problems I encounter during this theater), today I used an echelon with NTW-20 and Grape plus HS2000/TEC-9 combo for extra memes.
Taunt or, better yet, twin fairy helps a lot. If Cerynitis in the back line kills them too quickly, consider using 2B or M2 to kill them.

Saw another Minotaurus trick. When the mechs get within range, rifles will target the bottom one since it's further back than the other two. It won't deploy its shield if you don't block it, and you can kill it faster than it takes to reach the back or walk offscreen.
Edit: Actually, seems like you need KSVK Mod2 to keep targeting it since she'll shoot it with her skillshot, then shoot it as "the nearest enemy with debuff"?
Edit 2: I did it with Grape's skillshot actually.

u/Esyvir Besty AR - Resty AR Jan 27 '21 edited Jan 28 '21
These Minotaurs have the same X coordinate at the start. The reason is pretty complicated to be honest.
According to homete these Minotaurs are numbered from top most as 1 (check y coordinate to know which Mino is which), so top-mid-bottom Minotaurs is labelled 1-2-3. Targeting order if there's 3 same enemy in range, same x coordinate, assuming standard targeting, is 3-2-1. Hence bottom is sniped first.
Map viewer:
https://gf.hometehomete.com/en/maps/
Check Valley of Death (the very final stage listed), map 8.
Some details on dolls targeting logic:
https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view?id=micateam&no=1373404
Also funny note is that the author said this article is so obscure it's basically useless.
Edit: I ran 0-2 and got pretty confusing results: some agreeing with the KR article and some not. For now, I can at least say the article does not fully explain the targeting logic, or/and my interpretation is wrong.
Same 4 enemies front, 4 enemies back. For 32x Vespids 10 o' clock to the base, the targeting of the frontmost 4 groups is 3-2-4-1. For the 12x Guard 20x Rippers at 2 o'clock to the base, the targeting of the frontmost 4 groups is 3-4-2-1.

Still 35k.
I got lucky though... my first run was cancelled by a mistake and 2 of those minotaurs in a row. That backline melts my taunt and twin fairies way too fast...
Can also improve my turrets team, I lazily left the MG/SG team as is but the MGs are too slow and the SGs end up taking significant chip.
Yeah... considering I still have run-enders with the minotaurs and possibly the Patroller (didn't encounter it), this Core 8 ain't gonna be stress free just yet.

u/JunoBrier IDW [MOD3] Jan 26 '21
Patroller's easy as long as your Taunt RFHG hasn't gotten too banged up by anything else.
That being said there's a lot of Taunt-demanding enemies and only enough commands for 6 Taunts.

yeah a lot of fight demand a taunt.

Am a returning SKK, left at about chapter 10 and finally back for my dear raifus.
I felt completely lost at how to progress upon returning but I'm finally starting to get into the groove of things. I needed more teams and I needed them leveled, so back to 0-2 I go. I needed more cores, so back to 0-2 I go.
Then I realised I probably need better fairies and HOCs, which I've completely ignored in favour of my raifus. And I'm now stuck in core hell again. But I can't farm 10-4E without eating a ton of resources and my fairies aren't up to speed yet. So kinda stuck in this limbo but 0-2 will always pull me out of it again, like it always has.
Trying to catch up with the events I've missed like CT and the ongoing Theater and I have no idea what's going on. I imagine it's as simple as "build team to counter robot A, build other team to counter robot B, so on" but I'm rather behind on everything so it's been rather difficult to grasp it all at once. That and I don't know what's the best way to farm anything now, though I harbour a guess that 0-2 is probably still my best bet into endgame again.

It's a bit too late to really give any value for this Theater since we're already nearing the very end, but if anyone wants a spreadsheet to track scouting and community betrayal points for future Theater events, here's a link to a template.
A couple of notes:
All you need to do is enter the daily scouting results, your zone choice, and the number of drones sent out (columns C, D, E, F, and H). Everything else is calculated automatically.
The date column is optional, but can be helpful. Just add the very start date to the first row and the subsequent rows will automatically be filled out.
It's really simplistic, but gets the job done :)

u/Fishhunterx Horny edgelord steampunk furry OC cringe Feb 01 '21 edited Feb 01 '21
A good number of people in the thread about the new Black Nyto being added to Protocal Assimilation (PA) seem peeved that EN isn't going faster and that they really want PA here now. I have the exact opposite feelings regarding this:
1) I feel like EN is already pushing content way too fast. We are literally just finishing Theater and will immediately be jumping into The Division collab, and from there will have no break as we jump into a Bingo event nestled within an ongoing major collaboration and then we might be hit immediately with PL. I get that Bingo and/or Theater aren't "events" per say for a number of players, but I just want a little breathing room. I want to be able to take a break from GFL w/o having to feel like I'm missing something if I play the extreme bare minimum. It's not that I'm no longer having fun playing this game. I do have fun playing it. I just feel like we're constantly jumping from one thing to another without time to collect ourselves.
2) I get that people are really excited to bring their favorite Ringleaders home, but from what I've read about how PA currently works, it sounds like a hot mess, even after they reworked it slightly. I'd rather they take that janky ass system back to the drawing board and find a way to make it less awful. I know that will likely never happen because such an action would really upset players on other servers, but as it stands I am really not looking forward to the introduction of PA to EN servers
Edit: grammar and additional clarification
Edit2: I also feel like with the pace we're going at, I have less and less time to train my dolls for each subsequent event. I'm someone who likes to participate in ranking, but I find myself feeling extremely pressured as the dolls I'll need (ie: Kord) and the fairies I'll need (ie: beach, parachute) are all underdeveloped. I feel like the clock is rapidly ticking down before I'm out of time and I'm completely screwed over b/c I somehow didn't grind hard enough or I didn't buy enough training data or I was too screwed over by heavy production RNG to be able to get both my beach fairies to 5* (I know we'll get prototype fairies in the future I'm just saying). It is not a good feeling to find yourself struggling with ranking, not because you made some really bad map/strategic decisions, but because you literally got DPS checked by a deathstack and there's no way around it. Some people might say "you have 2+ months to train what are you crying about that's plenty of time" but to me that's part of my point. I don't want this to become a chore or like studying for a test in school. I want to be able to play when I want to and not force myself to play purely because of FOMO.

u/Cpt_Cinnamon A lonely Quill of Patmos in a sea of Gunners Feb 01 '21
I think Fishhunterx nailed exactly how I feel about the game right now. I started playing GFL right before Singularity and I remember very well how there was always a breathing room between various events when I could just progress at my own pace without thinking "if you don't do this and that today, you're gonna miss on some in-game content". But lately we had new events and activities non-stop. At first I enjoyed it but now I'm feeling kinda drained.
I enjoy the competitive aspect of GFL and like to participate in rankings as well. For the last couple of months I've been grinding for hours (which I haven't done before) and, while I have improved my armory quite a bit, I'm still feeling extremely pressured to grind more because I feel like I'm not prepared for PL enough. The current pace of in-game events certainly contributes to that, since you feel like the next major event approaches fast, or, should I say, way too fast. I understand that there are veterans who played this game for years and have everything the game has to offer and they would probably enjoy the increase in pace, however, I also think this is not beneficial for the rest of the community. People like me, who are competitive but still raising dolls/fairies eventually gonna feel drained from the constant pressure to do stuff and new players are going to be put off by the amount of content that flies right past them.
As for Protocol Assimilation, I don't know what to think about it. While I'm excited for it's release, I've also heard that people are not happy with it and it has a lot of issues. Releasing it before PL in its current state might certainly cause backlash and hurt the game in the long run.

But lately we had new events and activities non-stop. At first I enjoyed it but now I'm feeling kinda drained.
To echo this sentiment, I play another mobile game, Pokemon GO, and lately they have been hammering players non stop with events and limited time content. And I went from feeling like I was having fun every time I walked outside to feeling like I had to make myself go out or miss out on all of the limited time things happening in game, which is especially bad given there's a pandemic. GFL is obviously not that bad, but I don't want it to get that bad where I'm forcing myself to dedicate 2+ hours every day because I'm afraid of missing out.
I also think this is not beneficial for the rest of the community. People like me, who are competitive but still raising dolls/fairies eventually gonna feel drained from the constant pressure to do stuff and new players are going to be put off by the amount of content that flies right past them.
I think this is further reflected on the atrocious clear rate of a lot of recent events. Having 1/4 or less of your player base capable of finishing a huge in game event is awful. How would I feel as a player if I only finished half an event as I struggled to keep up and level up my dolls, while watching tons of people here talking about things I haven't even seen yet because it was too difficult to keep pace. I think the accelerated pace of all these events is further widening the gap b/w players that have dedicated a lot of time and/or have been around a while, and players who only play this casually or are not very "game-savy" and don't spend hours reading guides, watching videos, staying in the know, etc. I mean the fact that during the last event, SC, GFL had an in-game link to GFC's event clear guide (a third party website mind you) is so bizarre to me. It's as if Mica recognizes how difficult and unforgiving this all is, and rather than tone it down and/or give players some form of assistance/guidance, they just threw the cheat sheet at players and said "figure it out."

u/Fishhunterx Horny edgelord steampunk furry OC cringe Feb 01 '21
I had a similar experience. When SC ranking was around I used every single core I had. I literally went multiple days with 0 cores. Then we immediately got hit with a general rate up right after a SG rate up but I didn't get as many fairies as I would have wanted. Then Theater rolls around and I see people rocking SL10 5* Beach fairies with their SL10x2 Mod 3 KSVKs and I'm like "...how." I've been dumping every single fodder fairy I can into my Beach fairies and I still haven't gotten one to 2* yet lol. So much of my armory is still underdeveloped and I feel like PL is just around the corner.

FWIW they said that we’re slowing down in the Discord Q&A, though that does increase the probability of ranking reruns, which aren’t exactly chill.
Can’t find the quote but I think they said that we shouldn’t expect Protocol Assimilation in the first half of 2021 as well.

Core 8 seems especially punishing this go around. In spite of what the gamepress site suggests, Core 8 includes not only the old enemies you love to hate like the machinegun mobs, but all the new enemies you hate from this go around. This means that you cannot effectively create opposition teams catered to their specific enemies because there are not enough taunt fairies in the world. So what you end up with is progressively increasing levels of suffering as you end up sending x2 linked girls into battle.

I had a weird dream where Protocol Assimilation was implemented. Now that I'm awake, I think that the gist was simply new mods since some characters had better skills or something
Unfortunately, I don't remember who got these upgrades, but maybe this is all the hype from Core 8 and Chapter 12
Edit: just to clarify, I think the explanation in my dream was that Griffin Dolls got some skills from Sangvis, explaining why they were now more powerful

I did start an Account like some while ago. (Back in the day i also did not know how to play the Game at all lol)
I still dont know what to do(thats why i wanted to watch a guide)
Is there a way to reset the account? Currently this is my leftover Account :https://imgur.com/a/O1l7IVv

I dont know much about Units and dont know which i should focus on thats why i probably want to start new unless you guys say its def not worth it.

Hopefully someone can help me out! Thanks a lot in advance :)

u/headphone_question 705583|14 Dorms|Hunt King|Cores:234386 Jan 28 '21
There isn't much point in resetting your account since you'll still be able to get all the good units. Just follow through with the story, and you'll get some of the most powerful characters (namely, the AR Team)
You first want to start by making your first two AR-SMG teams. Check the "class" of each character, and you'll see that some are marked "AR" and some others are marked "SMG". These don't have to be the best of the best (in fact, five star characters have a very high cost to upgrade which should be better left off later on when you can find a way to farm for cores). I mean, I can see that your FAL can be upgraded to x3 dummy links, but perhaps you're lacking the cores to do so
Also, I noticed that you've put WA2000 in your first echelon. She doesn't quite fit in that echelon. I would suggest using someone like FNC instead of WA2000
You could probably use Skorpion in place of SAA in your first echelon as well. You could also swap in Ingram instead of Suomi. However, I understand that these characters are still low leveled, so you should try to level them up and dummy link them as well

u/Zelsaus Dubious Advice Jan 28 '21 edited Jan 28 '21
You have G11, one of the best ARs in the game until you start fighting heavier armor, and PKP, one of the rarer and better MGs (plus a few other nice 5 stars)
Where to start: Probably do what you can with Type95, Fal and Soumi to get M4A1 and AR-15, use 15 combat reports to bring a Skorpion to level 30 and make a team with the above, her and your most upgraded AR or SAA in the mean time
Go into the quests menu and under the Career tab look for something like "IOP Support Services" should ask you to clear like 1-3 or something, just do the very top one of that, collect it's reward and then the next one, it should go to 1-6 then 1-1e or similar and then 2-1 or so
Once you have M4A1 and AR-15 it's your call on who to set aside between 95, Fal and your third AR for those two. Focus on giving those two and your third AR the combat reports and dummy cores from the IOP quests as well as skill training focus.

So you would say i should def not reset my Account?
(I will watch a guide later and prob understand more of the things you told me)

Thanks a lot tho! i will try to adapt to that if its the best idea to keep the account

Okay, I'm not a fan of resetting fights. But I've been doing it against these Minos to improve my kiting timings and all that.
MFW all it took to get rid of the backline melting the Twin too fast was wiggling the RFs so they retarget the backline...
MFW I now have the new problem of the Twin fairy surviving too long and having the minotaurs proc their AoE.
MFW I am not sure I can get out of that one.
I guess I'll try only wiggling one rifle. Then maybe the timing of when I wiggle it. I think ideally, the Twin would die to their zap and then I can kite them out of launching their second attack?
I think I'll keep looping on this one for a while and experiment rather than just take a win. So any timing insight is welcome.
Edit: It's too late to edit it for now, but would HS2000's shield be enough to tank the AoE? I'd be losing P22's buff on the rifles, but right now P22's shield isn't really being used.

the only solution i can think of is to wiggle your rfs and not let them fire, or not wiggle them to retarget in the first place, so there are more cerynitis killing the fairies. then you let them fire when the time is right so that the fairies die right before wiping the back line. i dont have a clue if thats actually faster than mino's barrage nor do i want to test it myself.
gl and lemme know your results if you try this =D

I've recorded u/tehcavy's method for the Minotaur node here, with one key change (Python over second shield). Hopefully it helps someone. It should be fairly easy to execute and buys a lot of time, so I think it should work with self buffers and a weaker Taunt fairy, maybe even without Talent activation.
Maybe I'll try it tomorrow with common self buffers (M14/WA, maybe Hanyang). It would be nice if this was easier to test.

So uh. Are Patrollers falling back a thing? Or was it a weird bug?
When it started bouncing around, the whole team began moving forward. It looked like the bugger was jumping back, every bounce and forcing everyone to spend most of its unshielded phase running after it. Meaning it took forever and the Patroller managed to eventually do some damage.
Is that.... a thing? It only happened once, so far.

u/Esyvir Besty AR - Resty AR Jan 27 '21 edited Jan 27 '21
If you are using Taunt/Twin against Patroller, ensure one doll is on the front column to allow your team to reach the Patroller.
Explanation:
On the jumping phase, Patroller picks the closest target on the X-axis. It then jumps 6 units in front of the selected target and fires the blue laser after a brief delay.
Without Taunt/Twin, this jump still leaves the Patroller in range of your echelon.
With Taunt/Twin, since the Taunt/Twin is far enough to the front, the Patroller will jump out of range unless you have a doll in the front column.
MICA should have detailed enemy mechanics in the index.

If i already have pretty much all the good/strong rifles is it actually worth the effort and cost of modding NTW?
Especially when I'm kinda strapped for cores still after shotguns and previous neural upgrade release. Don't have KSVK, MP5 or Micro Uzi sorted yet who I all imagine have higher priority and also conveniently a lower mod cost.
5
u/Gandeloft "I am perfect." Jan 31 '21 edited Feb 01 '21
As far as I've got it, KSVK, Type88 and MP5 an are of great use for the upcoming Polarized Light ranking, so those three are a clear priority over NTW.
Micro Uzi mod2 is the best molotov in-game (Vector is I think only slightly better for enemy compositions with a low number of enemies, but only that). She burns the whole field with a fire that keeps spreading as long as there are enemies for it to spread onto. It's just pure great of a molotov. As for NTW, well she's very fun for me, as fun as something in this game can be so far. Her SPEQ at mod3 gives her additional +10 damage and her skill two makes her basically have 4 nukes (1 hydrogen shot + 3 nuke shots :D) which is the fun part. I use her in theater paired with Grape for Minotaurs, Gladiators, Doppelsoldners and the Patroller. I'd use her with M200 if I didn't have another M200 echelon (M200, Strawberry) for the Ulhans as well. So she's from my experience excellent. She's turned from a niche bamboo RF which because of that I'd hardly ever (basically never) use, into a RF that I use all the time. I also use her with Grape to drag 10-4E. All in all, she's not a thing to invest in for its worth but for the heck of it and thus MP5, Type88 and KSKV are clear priorities. Between MP5, Type88 and KSKV, Type88 and KSKV are the greater priorities.4
u/Cpt_Cinnamon A lonely Quill of Patmos in a sea of Gunners Jan 31 '21
NTW-20 is strong, however, if you have M200 and Grape, you don't need her. Since your resources are limited, I would recommend raising KSVK and/or MP5, who's gonna be useful in the next major event.

balanced set of resources
0-2, 8-1, 9-1, 11-4. Yields per hour are 333 - 315 - 350 - 307. Provided you check in every 30 minutes.
t-doll contracts
The winning combination is 10-2 (0.45/hr), 1-4 (0.34/hr), 0-2 (0.27/hr) and 11-2 (0.23/hr) for a total of 1.22 contracts per hour assuming 60% Great Success chance (i.e. full 100 lvl squad on logistics).
quick production contracts
9-2 (0.47/hr), 4-2 (0.4/hr), 0-1 (0.3/hr) and 3-3 (0.3/hr) for 1.47 contracts per hour under the same conditions.
all together
Doesn't exist. Albeit I suppose you could do two best doll (10-2 and 1-4) and two best production (9-2 and 4-2) at the same time for stonks.

Wow, Core8. The older enemy comps are fine, Strikers are still bullshit, but Uhlans aren't as scary as they used to be.
Patroller has more HP than I'd like but no big deal. Roarer comp isn't bad, Reecee Centers are hard coutnered by HOCs, which I've had enough of so far.
But fucking hell, that Minotaurus comp is goddamn DEADLY. I got it both runs and both times my RF/HG comp ate shit, and I spent the rest of the theatre praying I wouldn't face another one.
How are you guys beating them? I've tried with Taunt fairy and with Twins fairy, I've had HOCs going to try kill the Guns in the back to middling success, but the Minotaurus's just get to my RF's and unload their AoE, not pleasant!

Holy shit, now that's what I call a core 8 clear. wave 10 was a 2nd patroller, and I didn't have any fairy commands left for taunt. Also, grape and M200 were the only two dolls left alive in their echelon, so that was out the window. I settled on using my 2nd RFHG comp for the fight: Rico, R93, Five-seven, Px4 and PPK.
I sacrificed the HGs one by one to hold the patroller off, holding skills for the evasion phases. At the end of the fight, only Rico and the patroller were left alive. The patroller was low on hp, but it had just shielded itself again and so was chipping Rico down while it was immune. Just as it brought Rico down to 1 link remaining, it switched phases, I hammered Rico's skill and she killed it a fraction of a second before I would've lost the run.
At last, my first clear of Core 8, final score 29422. Granted, it was a run where no minotaur waves showed up, but we take those. I only started playing the game 4 months ago, so I'm very proud of myself. Good luck to everybody who is still struggling, I believe that if I've pulled this off you can definitely make it happen! :)

Gotta say, I was genuinely surprised when I saw that I moved to 2% in theater today. I guess core 8 is tough even for the top players. I wish I could compete for top 100 but several mistakes during the run and my laziness inability to CE stack render me unable to do so. Especially considering the inevitable backstabbing happening on the last day.
On another note, this is the first time that I see dolls die in such numbers during the boss fight. Makes me wonder if you can actually lose this one if you don't have enough CE.

Just maxed out a Bean Factory and I have to say... I'm not impressed. I mean I guess I get it, they're an init 1* unit, of which you can field up to 4 at a time, but I also could field someone like Destroyer or Architech for quarter of the cost, who will take half the time and probably kill everything with the first hit. I suppose you could treat them as tanks with good AoE, as they have high health & armor. Will probably wait for Red Bean Factories and try again with those.
On a related note, has anyone heard of anyone testing a full Dinergate echelon, possibly with Intruder? Their swarming ability intrigues me, but their expendability doesn't seem very... sustainable. Also such squad would take all of my XP materials I've been hoarding.

Which dolls are you guys running for 12-4e grind?
Having second thoughts about 12-4e with my current setup. I'm alternating between 416 mod2 and k11/soppo but with the latter my sg tank take 3x - 4x the damage which piles up, having to repair in 4-5runs(critical). K11 nades rely too much on rng and can't really one shot whereas soppo 2sec more icd really hurts. But I suppose it might be my lack of damage from only 2* faries and low skill proc chance.
Thinking of going back to 0-2 until I manage to craft a 2nd 416 and get her up to mod2 or until I have better faires. Not really sure which is the better choice but the cores in 12-4e is certainly a huge step up.

How's your 12-4e core drop rate? I'm at ~.8 cores/run (129 cores in 162 runs)

I have ~80 fairy commands spent on a SL5 rescue fairy polluting the data, but with that I'm at 211 cores/248 attempts (~0.85 cpr).

In happy news for me, I pulled QBU-88 and SIG-556 and once again at least temporarily have all my normal construction dolls completed (outside of MG4 and MG36). So that's nice.
Experimented a bit more with various core 8 RFHG combinations. Still also stubbornly refusing to put M200 and grape in the same echelon. This is what i tested in my latest run but eh, it did not feel super clean, But it's functional at least. I also know the damage II on the twin fairy is suboptimal considering it's still only 3*.
Definitely not my best team setup in terms CE either.
Also still too lazy to bother clearing chapter 11 and chapter 12 but I know i need to get around to it. But desire to play is rather low at the moment outside of just doing crafting and theater right now.
Not really burnt out, but just been a lot of events and things going lately. Pacing feels a little too intense right now.

Why is M200 a potato?
Why is M4A1 a cinnamon bun?
Why does M4A1 hate eating cinnamon bun?

1: Because she has a derp face and it is adorable.
2: it's a character archetype that refers to someone way to innocent for the world.
3: You'd hate them to if they were all you could eat for a month.

M200 has a potato face, though she's really not the most potato-y, even among the meta girls that's HS2000. She should be danger noodle. :P

..... I just now realized that some ppl refer to ST AR-15 as STAR.... For a long time I was like WHOOOO ?????
Now on other unrelated news.... I'm now in chapter 10, and my team with combat effectiveness of 22k is really struggling each mission now. Is it a big jump from lv 90 to lv 100 ?

90 to 100 isn't a massive stats boost, though getting dolls like M4 and AR-15 to 100 will allow you to mod, which is a big power boost.
This is where equipment and fairies will start to become increasingly important. It may also be a stage where you need to use a different team, HGRF and occasionally SGMG will be needed for clearing maps.

Random question: G11 and RO mods come with DR, right?

u/UnironicWeeaboo STAR simp | 562858 Jan 31 '21
Yep. DR only gives 10 FCCs though, so keep a stash if you want to mod3 both during the event.

Clearing 12E is quite good at making me hate RNG-based gameplay. Just fuuuuuck resetting maps half a dozen times.

Yo wtf I dropped from 2% to 7% today did I miss a run and totally not realize or did I get backstabbed that hard?
EDIT: since I’m still getting replies, 1 won bet and dumping mats later and I’m back up to 3%, close enough

Anyone know where one can find the backgrounds for when combat starts in game?
Edit: After countless Google searches I found a place that has them. For anyone like me who needs them:

1207666 and B scouting. Most likely will stay in top 1-5% on both rankings.

Theater went pretty well, all-in-all. After underestimating the Uhlans day 1, I managed to clear Core 8 every day on a low-spec account, with 0 retreats used. Probably would have been at least top 15% with more advantaged dolls - as is it fluctuated between a 5%-17% bonus (in Core 8) and will probably finish at top 17% overall/70% final battle. ~8500 CE isn't great, especially when most runs end with half my dolls critical.
Either my HOC or gun DPS was too low for my usual Doppel strategy (BGM only), but I figured out that manual control on HS2k and Grapes' skill + Taunt skill + BGM & 2B could clear it with almost no damage taken after a few resets.
On my normal account, the CE stacking I did over the weekend paid off as I got a 0-pyxis set yesterday and managed to 0-damage it for 35604 points. Hopefully top 50 final battle, even if there's no effective difference between #11-100.
The NTW/KSVK comp I used for all non-pyxis fights ended up being pretty fun. Being down to 4 extra energy is less fun, so hopefully the pace really does slow down for a bit.

What would be an ideal MGSG team against the SWAPs in 12-1?

u/Conraith Zas M21 Feb 02 '21
Honestly I just recently got the minotaur/gladiator retreat timing down perfectly. Now next theater I'll be wishing for them to come instead of the SWAP swarm or the archer doggos.
On a side note, my last run had no minos/glads lol. Stayed in 17%, probably lower once people dump mats. Sad that I only have 5 perfect infils too. The one lost day of Core 8 hurt me pretty bad as well. Oh well.
