Gravedigger Special Interception Full Stage 9 Clear Strategy Guide - Quick Reload Team [Nikke]

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

For those looking for a shotgun oriented team composition, the new video is out now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWeYYWCIltmHos0

[@DeaminZaints]

Its nice to have people explaing WHY something is good rather than just saying "use this character"... Sometimes you need an alternative and understanding why one of them works is nice to know so you can figure out what else might work

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Appreciate it! That's what always goes through my mind when I look at any guide for any game. I want to understand why something is happening and try to come up with alternatives

[@emrydelva5205]

Thank you for this comp. I've been struggling with grave digger and alteisen for a while, but, with this comp and another I recently learned to take on the train, I've finally been able to t9 clear every special interception. I honestly didn't think I would be able to accomplish that until I got either extremally powerful gear and/ or more powerful nikkes. This should speed up the development of my account and I couldn't have done it without you so I just wanted to show my gratitude. Thanks again and I hope you keep on making great content.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Super glad that you're able to clear all the special interception bosses now - I just got to that point earlier this week as well! Really appreciate your kind words - just happy to hear that this is helping out the community in any way!

[@Sui_turnip]

WTF BRO I LITERALLY JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS VID AND TRIED THE COMP. I CLEARED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THANKS A LOT!!! SORRY FOR THE CAPS I'M JUST SO HYPED

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Glad you were able to full clear it! 👍 Check out my other videos if you need any help - I have guides for all the bosses

[@Sui_turnip]

@@SquishyRollingPanda yes!! My only problem right now is alteisen I can't seem to clear it even with Sakura, Ludmilla (missing viper, Guilty) so I'll check your vids out!

[@faan9969]

First time seeing a special interception lineup that I have all of them, 4 of 5 are my usual lineup for campaign also (Vesti instead of Drake for quick burst cycle). Nice. I cleared stage 5 on first try with tier 7 equipments on grave digger while clearing even stage one was challenging on other bosses. Thanks for the video.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

That's an awesome jump in stages! Can only go up from there!

[@Herogaze]

bro again with the god comps, just got my first gd clear. i was always in doubt of how good drake was, but after trying with modernia and pepper, drake is key for this to work. I also needed some clutch rng too

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

That's good stuff - glad you cleared GD!

[@Minamoto1989]

I love your videos, you heped me clear a lot of these bosses.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Glad to hear that you're able to clear them! Appreciate the feedback!

[@m_k3535]

Thanks for this! Your videos are really easy to follow and explain exactly what you're doing well

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

My pleasure!

[@TheCrosshare]

Have to give this a shot, might drop Crown in there as she makes it possible to survive one "oopsie". She can survive two if lucky :D Her reload is an issue as well, so might help with that.

[@WOLFMANF14DFIGHTER]

I use Liter, Scarlet,Privaty, Guilty, Noah

[@jasio1916]

thx it help me from stage 6 to stage 7

[@badjeng]

Gotta try this lineup later. Goodluck to me. Hahahah

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Fingers crossed! There definitely is some RNG involved. If the interruption circles are clumped together, I found them easier to break. Abuse the retry function!

[@erwandywijaya9965]

Thx for the guide! I happen to have everyone(Liter Core2, Admi Lb0, Scarlet lb0, and lb2 Privaty) except drake. Although i have lb1 sugar, so maybe that could help is dealing eith the red targets faster :)

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

My pleasure! Sugar should be a decent substitute. Will test out a full shotgun comp when we reset today!

[@erwandywijaya9965]

[@zealous404]

still can't do it even though I have better scarlet & use sugar instead really one of the worst bosses alongside the train - only got to 8 something bout my dps or burst timings that it always falls off whenever the next "dps check/three spots" show up

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

There's a part in phase 3, where you need to have full burst ready to clear the first set of 3 circles. But you're really close!!

[@peroperokid]

i don't have scarlet. which character can fill the slot ? great video btw! thanks for the guide.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Thank you! I've had success with a built Sugar or Drake to substitute for Scarlet

[@WOLFMANF14DFIGHTER]

I have a team that prevents your team from been annihilation by that meat grinder and Manuel burst setting. Pepper, Suger, Scarlett Guilty and Noah.

[@WOLFMANF14DFIGHTER]

I reach all the Lv 8

[@orknomad]

I've finaly managed to get a full clear of this boss with this team. The only alteration I had to do was swap Drake (I don't have her) for Anis SS.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Congrats! Given the release of SSR Anis, I would probably choose her over Drake. Especially since she pairs so well with Privaty, Admi and Scarlet

[@baskoroartdy5193]

Is it better than sg team? I can get reward 9 easily with my sg team but will try this team for today's intercept, looks fun

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

To be frank, I think a SG team is easier to use - since it is way more forgiving in terms of aim. But since I lack good SG units, I have to use a fast reload comp with Scarlet instead. My team would be more of a fun aim challenge for you 😃

[@hotmegoi504]

I was pike, oh something i might be able to do cause i wont need liter, dolla, or rapunzel. Then he said noah and i lost motivation.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

You don't need any of them! The strategy with Noah is only a last ditch option, if you can't full clear Gravedigger!

[@minamotonoyorimitsu1656]

The most 2 interception i hate after Alteisen 😑 Last week, i try this comp too Maybe i just have skill issue 🥴

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

You can do it! Just ensure that Admi & Privaty's reload buff skills are levelled high enough + resilience cube on Scarlet

[@hashakahwantstorepent.4176]

With summer anis it would be even faster

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Absolutely! I started using her and featured her skill set and combos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvPgoefp7ZshtE

[@sialiasialis.]

This is a solid video but I absolutely cannot clear with this team. My Scarlet probably must have a skill maxed to 10 or something. Or maybe skill issue, etc. The missiles are a constant problem.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Thanks - my Scarlet's skill 1 is level 10 and she does have 1 OL gear that gives extra ammo For the missiles, you can also try to just go into cover last second, instead of destroying them

[@sialiasialis.]

@@SquishyRollingPanda I can manage Clear 7 but a Full Clear just isn't possible at the moment. Tried a number of combinations: Pepper - Viper - Scarlet - Drake - Privaty Liter - Viper - Scarlet - Drake - Privaty Liter - Admi - Scarlet - Drake - Privaty The Noah strat, in my attempts, lacked DPS so I'd get drilled multiple times as a result of not being able to clear Phase 2. Phase 2 is pretty much the run killer. Phase 3 is squishy but very fast, so if you can't DPS check 2 then the rest of the run is forfeit anyway. Maybe I should build up enough skill mats for the Snow White cheese. I dunno at this point lol

[@ianlee0800]

Is it possible to run with Sugar instead of Drake?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Drake is preferred for her skill 1 (boost team attack during full burst). Sugar has a lot of self buffs, but should still be possible

[@ivansotaku8701]

It's possible. But a little bit harder

[@tomgarcia4782]

What if I don’t have scarlet

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Give your strongest DPS a shot, such as: Modernia, Alice, Drake, Sugar Full shotgun teams also work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWeYYWCIltmHos0 And I'm putting together a new guide with the bunny girls (Noir & Blanc) soon!

[@joshuabowyer5431]

I still don't have liter and it's really starting to get on my nerves.

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

I feel ya, even with the wish list feature, it's still very difficult to get the Nikke you need

[@jackson_weder332]

What is your configuration in *Speed of reticle movement *Screen vibration *Aiming assistant settings

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

*Speed of reticle movement - 125 (my crosshair in game matches the same sensitivity as my mouse, since I record my videos on PC) *Screen vibration - ON @ 50 (I like the effects/immersion) *Aiming assistant settings - ON @ 175 for PC (as for certain boss mechanics, it's helpful to show where to aim). On mobile, I play @ 25

[@WTFLegacys]

Damn I really am bad at this game. I have your comp except 6k more power and I've tried for 2 hours and can't break past the final part. Massive skill issue. Depression lol

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

I'm sure you can do it! Just ensure to hold your full burst, so that you still have it when phase 3 starts I usually pop my full burst near the end of phase 2, so when phase 3 beings, I have just enough DPS to clear 1 set of QTE circles

[@Alend222]

if I got no scarlet but have modernia will it work?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

The substitutes for Scarlet that have worked for me: Drake, Sugar. I'll also be uploading a full shotgun team composition video next week. Unfortunately with the magazine reduction + ramp up time for machine guns, Modernia loses DPS since she spends a lot time sitting idle/ramping up

[@Alend222]

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Yep, but Scarlet alone is not enough. There are some viable shotgun comps out there, but I'm trying to put together one without Sugar.

[@feryssr2736]

@@SquishyRollingPanda my team is liter,dolla,modernia,laplace and drake is it good enough?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

@@feryssr2736 Depending on your gear equipment, it's possible! I've tried that team before - the only caution is timing your Modernia burst, so that the burst uptime overlaps with the interruption circles as much as possible. Having an overload equipment piece with hit rate for Modernia + resilience cube is ideal. Outside of full burst, it was very difficult to clear the circles - so you might need to manually quick spam Laplace's rockets to build burst ASAP.

[@feryssr2736]

@@SquishyRollingPanda thanks for the tips. I will try sometimes after i got the right gear

[@CruelViper88]

Aiming for that bouncing ball is kinda annoying

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

It's definitely a pain to keep up! Working on a shotgun team comp, which should allow for an easier time aiming wise.

[@Kakashi99999]

Can somebody do the special interception without a single upgraded equipment for people like me who cannot get past this because every guide I find always has at least one enhanced gear?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Very unlikely to full clear without upgraded gear for Gravedigger, since the interruption circles require high DPS. What I can suggest is using Noah to cheese as high of a clear as possible. Here's my guide featuring her: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4rNd4BtZ9p0ZtU

[@Kakashi99999]

@@SquishyRollingPanda sadly no noah. Which interception is the easiest to hardest?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

IMO: Chatterbox, Blacksmith, Modernia, Gravedigger, Alteisen

[@okularnik125]

Me choosing Guilty because i foud her the hottest

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Waifu > Meta

[@lrdalucardart]

I find it funny how ppl say "oh this comp is easier to make all you need is have NOHA"... like... she is a Piligrims, you know how hard those are to obtain...?(excluding Modernia, cause she had a Rate Up Banner so everyone got her to 3*)

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Of the people that have Scarlet, I think a sizable portion got her from rerolling - including me. In any case, I made a Gravedigger guide that uses no Scarlet, no Pilgrims: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWeYYWCIltmHos0 The team with Noah is only if you cannot full clear and want to settle with stage ~6-7 rewards. Hope this helps!

[@lrdalucardart]

@@SquishyRollingPanda Ok I did got Scarlat recently, but is there any option for those who don't have Litter? (Aside from N102)

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Volume, or Pepper + Dolla

[@erture1]

What if we don`t have Noah :D

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Noah is not needed for the quick reload team - just Admi + Priviaty + a high DPS Nikke. Noah is a last ditch option, but leveraging her invulnerability skill, for people underlevelled gear that cannot full clear. Full guide here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4rNd4BtZ9p0ZtU

[@nightknight2355]

any substitute for admi ? i have rupee

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

For this specific team composition, Admi and Privaty are irreplaceable, since we need both of their burst/skills for maximizing reload speed buff But in other high DPS comps, Rupee is an excellent B2 attack boost character

[@jona2149]

No liter 😔

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

N102 can be a substitute if you need the team ATK buff. Or Volume, if you want burst cooldown reduction + critical damage

[@zackstrife4771]

Replacement for scarlet

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

An invested Sugar or Drake can work!

[@Zendavth]

I guess I'll never clear GD & Alteisen with my potato phone 😢

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Ah, why not Gravedigger? Alteisen is definitely annoying, due to a limited FOV on phone. Landscape is not even an option, as things are way too tiny

[@Zendavth]

@@SquishyRollingPanda I cant seems to destroy circles when it's up to 3. Too difficult to aim cuz frame drop and it's annoying moving everywhere lol. Blacksmith only up to rank 8 reward. I manage to clear Modernia and Chatterbox but always almost limit time cuz low fps 🥲

@@Zendavth Having your frames drop, stopping you from clearing the boss sounds super frustrating! Hopefully as you're able to level up equipment and output more damage, it helps you to compensate for that

[@riceboigone]

A lots of these comments and trying to copy the build. It won’t be the same. He has a couple of T10, even tho your wearing max t9 manufacturer. It won’t be the same. You won’t clear it. Be happy if you can do a video with no t10s. Give us a idea

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

The point of this video/team is to showcase the synergies of Admi + Privaty, which is based off their skill levels and not gear dependent. For the strongest DPS on the team, they will benefit from better gear, whether it's Scarlet or someone else. But to give a point of reference, I've full cleared this with a T9 manu Sugar

[@Gink01]

Is this possible without overload on scarlet?

[@SquishyRollingPanda]

Definitely possible! My max ammo overload gear on Scarlet doesn't matter much in this case, because while in full burst there is a >100% reload buff = infinite ammo on Scarlet.

[@Gink01]

@@SquishyRollingPanda okay, I will try, also can I replace drake with sugar in this comp ?

I prefer Drake, since her skill 1 buffs the entire team during full burst. But Sugar should still be viable
