You can add me for P5 Semmelweis with 401527801! Edit: Gah, the friends list limits you to 50 only! Honestly, I wasn't expecting this many people (thank you all for stopping by! ❤) so I'll do a purge of the list every couple of days to ensure I get everyone in at least once. Thank you all!!!

[@aviellyan.c]

finally someone with p5 semmelweis xD thanks a lot!

@@aviellyan.c She's so pretty!

Thx 💕💕

Added! I rlly love Semmelweis, but right now am still struggling to get P1 :'>

[@mathewhuong3421]

To your edit: thanks! Dang, 50 is a tiny limit :'>

[@MozeFan]

God bless you for explaining Syntony and Resonance to me I genuinely DO NOT have an idea about whatever tf it is😭

[@SeiraTakemi]

I was really surprised that the game never actually teaches you what it is. Hopefully we get better tutorials in the future.

[@GlacianShiverrr]

​@@SeiraTakemiit tells you when you unlock it on branching paths, maybe you missed it

[@SeiraTakemi]

@@GlacianShiverrr That's good to know. Maybe I accidentally closed it when I was unlocking the nodes since I was spam clicking to unlock everything quickly LOL

[@PanzerIVAE]

A Series of Dusks more like A Series of Discs can I get an amen

[@SeiraTakemi]

Amen! I'm so glad they kept Spirit Decanter in the game. It's not as good as some of the new items, but it's still funny.

[@horniiboi]

AMEN

[@Karirirum]

Amen 🙏

if you pick the pendulum catalyst and go solo as long as your survive turn one u can kill everything turn 1 with windsong ult bc u have so many cards in hand from the increased draw limit effect. its easily the fastest way to clear boss stages.

[@SeiraTakemi]

Correct, Pendulum is one of the top tier catalysts especially with Windsong. It was just less hands-off than the ones I mentioned which is why it didn't make it into the list, otherwise Pendulum is the best choice for pretty much all clears. Eager Hoarder with good RNG or Wisdom of Unison are the only ones on par, imo. Arcane Lantern is just super hands off in both artifact organization and for auto.

[@badwulff]

I remember disks already being goated for Echoes in the Mountain (also had tons of fun with them), so it's cool that the trend is continuing 👍

[@SeiraTakemi]

The disks were a lot stronger in Echoes IMO, but they're super good here too especially with Arcane Lantern. They kind of fall off on the later difficulties due to the damage reduction, but you don't really need to clear anything past Fortissimo I.

[@umeshkanala6229]

thanks for the quick explaination

[@SeiraTakemi]

Happy to help!

[@eclaireeeest]

What I like about this rougelike in particular is you need not clear the difficulty from before to unlock the difficulty after. After completing Level 1 difficulty, you can just skip to Level 5 difficulty and not go the long way like having to complete level 2 then level 3 and level 4 to get to level 5. Btw, thanks for the guide~ I was super confused at first while playing yesterday and even had time to read lore (took me 3-ish hours to finish it). And now, I can speedrun my runs in the future. I'm still confused how the content creators I watch can merge artefacts, which can lessen space. I hope I can know more about it while I play. I really like this game mode, but my ultimate favorite is The Three Doors.

[@SeiraTakemi]

Yeah, I agree. Having to play Piano 2, 3, 4, 5 would make me cry LOL Also thank you for stopping by! You can merge items in safe zones by using the Window of Opportunity "shop" and then crafting the artifacts if you have the correct items for the recipe. Just select the item you want to craft and it will tell you what you need. Also Three Doors is my favorite mode too!

[@SeiraTakemi]

Good luck on your runs!

[@pretsenka]

Straight to the point, thank you so much!

[@SeiraTakemi]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@GlacianShiverrr]

I prefer to play resonance catalyst and mix syntony and resonance artefacts in the game. it's really just convenient, just stack thorn buff and other 5, increase enemy genesis damage taken, and stack burn damage taken.

[@SeiraTakemi]

DoT builds are pretty fun in this mode, yeah. In 2.1, we'll be getting Tuesday! I'm looking forward to having an x2 Everheart run with her!

[@BlueJoneleth]

I3 Vila is kind of broken for this mode since she passively heals everyone every turn, negating the fact that hp carries over between battles.

[@SeiraTakemi]

It's pretty good yeah. Most of the time you won't have to care about healing though, I generally leave my Semmel at like 10 HP LOL

[@SeiraTakemi]

Glad to help!

[@cherreyve8558]

it says 'upcoming new rewards' to claim Lorelei's portraits, does that mean we need to wait for next update??

[@SeiraTakemi]

Correct.

[@iver4red]

Thanks for the simple explanation. Are there clear drops as rewards in this game mode? I'm running out of clear drops to pull for Lucy.

[@SeiraTakemi]

Unfortunately not :(

[@sunny_7823]

btw i was using voltaic sets in lucy runs and my dmg was just not it... i heard it was her best in slot so I used it but its not so good. Do the sets and items you showed us in the vid work for lucy teams too or does she have other BIS?

[@SeiraTakemi]

Anything that adds to damage is good for any team. Serpent Arrow is what you want for Lucy because it will increase her FUA damage tremendously. Run with 37, they will be doing tons of damage. Alicorn and Antique Sickle is likewise good for any team.

[@Sweet_Jelly39]

What Psychube is better for Semmelweiss? (As main DPS) Long night talk or the Rougelike reward one? owo

[@SeiraTakemi]

For now, Long Night Talk. She gets her own cube next patch called From the Depths!

[@Sweet_Jelly39]

@@SeiraTakemi I see, Thank you~

[@vulpez650]

Okay, but is it particularly a good idea to just try to get as many medications as possible and just chug chug chug turn one and hope for the best? They're just so compact and neat!

[@SeiraTakemi]

That strategy is really good with Wisdom of Syntony, yeah. Just hope for as many Mistletoe Berries and slap all those buffs on your main DPS!

[@rot1010]

how do you get the psychube? read on prydwen that you get Semmelweis BiS by playing this mode

That's only in Patch 2.0, so we'll have to wait for next patch!

[@SeiraTakemi]

@@chisa._. Unfortunately not. I'm not sure why Bluepoch made this weird decision, but In the Shadow isn't bad. It's a 10% total attack boost. Not as good as Long Night Talk, but it's something you can use if you don't have LNT.

i dont have lucy or 37😭

[@diohamizi6842]

Can i ask something? Some artifact need 2 energy to activated the artifact effect i dont how to activated it do it need a disc or something?

[@SeiraTakemi]

Those are Voltaic artifacts. You can activate them by providing energy to them using either Seven-Day Wonder or Wind-Up Key. Those are the main artifacts which provide energy to adjacent artifacts. Hope this helps!

It really doesn't matter The matter is Lucy and 37 only

[@rachmatzulfiqar]

I have Lucy and 37, but only Lucy is build to insight 3, I don't have mats for i3 37, is it enough? I do have i3 vila though

[@SeiraTakemi]

You can borrow a level 60 37 using the Assist function on the bottom right when selecting characters! I think even I2 is enough for Fortissimo 1 though.

[@mateaja3071]

This a series of dusk is event or no?? I new player not have this mode😢😢

[@SeiraTakemi]

I believe you have to complete up to a certain chapter to unlock this.

[@INKICLIPS]

i disagree with you on the best catalyst, the one where you can move the incantations without having to pay slots/ also it gives you 2 rank 3 incantations of your character choise using only 16 stimulus is the best catalyst (i forgot its name), this combined with windstorm and rank 2/3 artefacts boosts breakes the game, i destroyed the final boss in 2 turns with windstom attacking 15 times a turn with her ult and still had 4 other incantations placement free to use

[@esyn4712]

yeah but moving incantations doesn't matter if this video is just telling us to Auto with 37 and Lucy

[@SeiraTakemi]

You're correct. Pendulum is the best catalyst, but it's definitely not the fastest nor is it the most hands-off. This video was primarily designed for people who just want the rewards quickly, so the suggested Catalysts were catered toward autoplay. If you're not doing auto, Pendulum is definitely the better option especially on difficulty 20.

[@csl_YT]

How do you use the exchange function

[@SeiraTakemi]

You simply click on the items you want in the Golden Alley screen!

[@csl_YT]

@@SeiraTakemi between levels?

[@SeiraTakemi]

@@csl_YT Oh, you meant the exchange function in the safe zones! You need to have specific items for that. It's less of an "exchange" and more of a crafting option. The screen will tell you what items you need. If you're talking about the other two options, you need to unlock those from the Branching Paths upgrades.

[@csl_YT]

@@SeiraTakemi thanks

[@suhridguha2560]

Hey i am new to the game started about 22 days back. I can do 5 but i am having trouble with the others. Any tips?

[@SeiraTakemi]

It depends on what units you have. I would suggest borrowing an Assist DPS like Windsong or Lucy and then using Wisdom of Syntony or Protean Pendulum. Pendulum is the strongest, especially with Windsong, but you will need to play manually.

[@boredaf5782]

I don't have 37, i do have lucy tho.

[@boredaf5782]

Oh, you can borrow characters

[@SeiraTakemi]

@@boredaf5782 Yeah you can borrow a 37! Just select Star afflatus and keep spamming refresh until one shows up!

[@someoneinasia]

or use jiu if you have her

[@LookUs-1]

Or you can use any other character with eureka

[@DaveedBachschmeed]

I have no Ezra, would you kindly replace your Spathodea with her/him :D

[@SeiraTakemi]

I don't have him either, but you can borrow him using the Assist function on the bottom left when you select characters!

[@CoercedJab]

I can’t even clear the first one. Should’ve started with that this was a waste for me

[@SeiraTakemi]

Sorry, I didn't actually consider the possibility of failing Piano I. For this mode, you will want at least I2 units before you attempt it. This guide was made with the assumption that you've been playing for a couple days at least and have cleared other stages/built your units. Is A Series of Dusks available right from the start? I thought it'd be locked behind at least Chapter 2 or something.

[@JuraganEmas]

Go look for a P5 lucy friend, or a P5 37 if your Lucy is already build up. If you still has difficulty, just clear the lowee difficulty and open up all those damage reduction in dusk series. The nodes give you ample of bonuses, and slowly you can grab most of the important rewards.

[@PanzerIVAE]

I don't know how in the world are you struggling with Piano I but my advice is to get a friend with a max support Lucy or Jiu Niangzi then pad the rest of your team with healers. Worst case scenario keep grinding until you get all of the perks, especially the ones that reduce incoming damage

[@polinalokova]

​@@SeiraTakemi but piano I is in balanced mode and everyone is i3 (2-50 for lower rarity)

[@SeiraTakemi]

@@polinalokova Yeah, I thought so. Anyone should be able to clear it.
