How to achieve [Finale] quickly for Isolde - Reverse 1999

0:00 4 turn Finale - Party of 3, no other burn unit
3:40 4 turn Finale - Party of 3 with other burn unit
7:40 4 turn Finale - Party of 4, no other burn unit
13:40 3 turn Finale - Party of 4, with other burn unit
What is Isolde? A Support? A DPS?
I often notice that everyone is calling her a support, yes she have crit Def down, reality Def down, power burst, rousing morale
all amplifies our party's dmg
but her damage is no joke as well, comparable to recent DPS we get (slightly lower than Jiu) as per my other video
Now, how to use Isolde?
First, regardless of whether you are going to use her mainly as support or sub-DPS, you want to hit Finale as Fast as possible to gain excess to Power Burst.
At P0, she needs 15 stacks to hit interlude and then 40 stacks to hit Finale
At P2, she needs 10 stacks for interlude and 30 stacks for Finale.
*Is NOT WORTH getting her P2, why?
Max Burn Stack is 30, so she only can gain max 15 heat stack per turn.
Now, at Round 1, it is Impossible to hit 30 stacks even with full Burn team even on a 4 party team set-up.
Let's say, Isolde, Spathodea, Ulu, and TF.
Due to Isolde and Ulu, start of Round, 6 burn stack on enemy. Isolde also grant Preignition to the party.
Isolde debuff atk, +5 Burn
Spatho atk and crit, +6 Burn
Ulu debuff atk, +4 Burn
TF debuff atk, +3 Burn
Total = 6+5+6+4+3 = 24 stacks (12 heat)
Round 2, assuming we now hit 30 stacks, 15 heat
Total 27 heat, can't reach Finale even if she is at P2 at round 2!!
Round 3, assuming we hit 30 stacks again, 15 heat
Total 42 heat, we now hit Finale regardless if Isolde is P0 or P2!
What about non Burn Team??
In a non-burn team, Isolde granting Preignition to party means that everyone in the party are able to inflict burn.
Round 1: 3 stack at the beginning, 5 from Isolde, 3 each from other 3 units (assume all atk)
Total = 3 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 17 stacks (9 heat)
*Since we are at 9 heat, this means that even at P2 we can't hit Interlude yet, so it doesn't matter so much what incantation you do in the first round or if you actually inflict Burn stack at all. What matter is DURING Round 2, all units should attack to dump all Preignition stack. If you did not Atk in Round 1, now your units will have 6 stacks of Preignition
Assuming no one atk in Round 1.
Burn stack = 1 at start of round (this stack is carried forward from the previous round)
Isolde = 8 stacks
Unit 1 = 6 stacks
Unit 2 = 6 stacks
Unit 3 = 6 stacks
Total = 27 stacks (14 heat)
+2 heat from the previous round, 16 heat, hit Interlude
Round 3
Assuming everyone is attacking +14 burn
Total = 13+14 = 27 (14 heat)
Now heat is at 30 (P2 achieve Finale)
Round 4
Assuming everyone is attacking + 14 burn
Total = 12 + 14 = 26 (13 heat)
Now heat is at 43 (Both P0 achieve Finale)
* So here, P2 have advantage of achieving Finale 1 turn faster, not a big difference IMO
Alright, what if we have only 3 party members?
In a 3 Party team, and without P2, it is not possible to reach Finale just relying on Preignition.
Isolde had to use her Ulti by Round 4 (her Ulti gives 10 stacks to the targeted unit)
Round 1
3 start of round
Isolde = 5
Isolde debuff = 0
Unit 1 atk = 3 burn
Total Burn = 11 (6 heat)
Round 2
Everyone Atk (now the one of the unit that did not attack previously have 6 Preignition)
Isolde = 5
Unit 1 atk = 3
Unit 2 atk = 6
Total Burn = 5 + 5 + 3 + 6 = 19 (10 heat)
Total heat = 16
Round 3
Isolde = 5
Isolde debuff = 0 (Her Ultimate should be up next turn)
Unit 1 atk = 3
Total Burn = 9 + 5 + 3 = 17 (9 heat)
Total Heat = 25
Round 4
Unit 1 atk = 3
Unit 2 atk = 6
Isolde Ulti = 13 (3 due to intermezzo at beginning of round, and 10 from Ult)
Total Burn = 8 + 3 + 6 + 13 = 30 Burn (15 Heat)
Total Heat = 40 (Finale)
Once hit Finale, do whatever you want as now Isolde provides Power Burst every turn regardless of Burn Stack. You don't have to bother so much about her rotation anymore if you are mainly using her as a Support.
But if you still want to use her as a Carry, at this Junction Isolde Ulti will hit HARD provided you continue to stack the burn and ensure it is at 30 stack with excess Burn when Isolde uses her Ulti.
Is this achievable without other Burn Support? YES!
At Round 4 we are at 15 stacks. Let's assume we keep the rotation similar for Isolde, so she gets Ulti in 3 rounds.
Round 5 = 15 + Isolde 5 + Unit 1 atk 3
Total Burn = 24
Round 6 = 12 + Isolde 5 + Unit 1 Ult 3 + Unit 2 atk 6
Total Burn = 26
Round 7 = 13 + Isolde 5 + Unit 1 atk 3
Total Burn = 21
Round 8 = 10 + Ult 1 atk 3 + Unit 2 atk 6 + Isolde Ulti 13
Total Burn = 30 + 2 excess
This simulation assumes the most strict team (3 units with no other burn unit)
So, in a 4 team, and with other burns like Ulu or Spatho, we can Easily hit 30 stacks with EXCESS
LASTLY, A HUGE DISCLAIMER! all your burn stacks dissapear if enemy cleanse or died and we can't gain heat.

[@Destr0th]

Please read video description for detailed breakdown of Burn and Heat stack Calculation. In general, regardless of team, fully utilize Preignition by Round 2 to gain Interlude and by Round 4 to gain Finale.

[@estelle4778]

yea totally pointless because getting to Finale is not how it works. Because regardless of how good Finale is , it is not a priority all the time. For example, in Jiu comp no matter AP you use, Jiu must be the one priority to use AP and it has to be 2 every time otherwise you are losing damage. And again regardless to my comment, obv you cant read so dont bother

[@Destr0th]

@@estelle4778 then in that context it is the matter of team comp. Strictly on Jiu, most of her DMG is from her follow up atk and to a degree power burst and Rousing Morale get consumed quickly on low reality% atk and so those buffs are not beneficial for Jiu unless is timed properly for her Ulti. And given that context as well, Jiu will also be dumping all Preignition stack every turn and contribute towards heat, while before that u mentioned that u rather stack up Preignition and use it to increase Isolde's Ulti damage. So please don't just throw example in just for the sake of argument. There is no one specific playstyle, so why are you being so hostile and claiming that this is the wrong playstyle? you could instead comment that this may not be applicable for certain scenario and situation and there are better rotation for Isolde depending on Different unit or different boss fight, then we are open for more constructive discussion. I say that u didn't read! Because I did state my assumption for this analysis and this is the result that I get, if u don't like it or have your own playstyle then go ahead, u don't have to come and tell ppl that they are wrong. Just to add on to that, even raid, I won't be doing 3-4 turn Finale, 1. Is difficult at early raid to accumulate heat due to Boss resetting until they enter endless mode. 2. We probably take 6-7 turns to reach endless mode and due to that, I will have more turns to build up heat (when boss doesn't reset to next phase) so I won't be rushing for Finale quickly.

​@@estelle4778 oh ok I thought that's what u mean lol, cause if we stack really high numbers of Preignition on let's say Tooth Fairy or maybe 6, then dump it all on the enemy before using Isolde Ulti, we can achieve a very high numbers of excess Burn, each excess stack is 15% incantation might. can be pretty insane.

When I get her in my first 10 pulls I did notice that it didn't take her long to get into [finale] and I thought some people were exaggerating a lot with "it took her a long time to get online because she has to stack 40 heat" But things happened and I ended up getting her 2 times while trying to make pity for the next banner, now thanks to that I have a P2 Isolde and Jessica against my will. I wonder if with the rate-up I should chase the P3 or leave it at that already to save Good video by the way, helped me to know the most optimal rotation

[@Destr0th]

I will stay at P2. P1, P3, P5 are all to improve intermezzo's dmg, but quite a lot to be honest but to keep her dmg high, we have to ensure the Burn stack is also maintained. This can be quite difficult, like sometime, we needed to heal, buff, etc and cant be attacking the enemy every single time might make it a bit difficult to sustain Intermezzo's dmg, most of the time however it should be fine, but if against Boss that cleanse, stage with weak enemy but many enemy, or stage with many Wave, she might feel a bit lack luster. So taking all the factors and variables in, personally P0 Isolde is good enough, and since u have P1 already, that already make her a pretty solid "DPS" unit.

@@Destr0th p1 got her dmg increase 3%. I dont know if it’s worth it now i come to think of it.

[@Destr0th]

​@@BK-jp4ys Nono, is 3% reality dmg per burn stack. So after she uses Ulti and enemy is at 30 burn stack. She now does 30*13% + 50% = 440% AOE dmg As opposed to P0, it's 30*10% + 50 = 350% So u gain 90% more reality dmg (per enemy) 270% against 3 enemies More over, after the Ult intermezzo, at start of the turn, she deal another intermezzo but this one max burn stack is only 15, hence at P1 she does 245% AOE reality damage as opposed to P0 she does 200%. So don't worry, u are good 👍

But reality is 6 can just stand there and give us amazing buffs for free every turn.

[@estelle4778]

The p2 is not a must but it is a good add. The best for dmg is p1 p3 and p5. However, p2 is the good portrait for support unit later if you want her to act in support position. Due to not only it speeds up process by 2 turns, it also tremendously good in stage where there is alot of cleanse and you can check in 6-2. Isolde is completely useless in there without burn stacks

[@Destr0th]

@@mechdilan3092 every burn stack is additional 10% reality dmg, at 30 stack , Isolde FUA does 350% reality dmg (this number is similar to most AOE Ult , Jessica, Jiu etc) The interesting part is that even the burn stack is already at 30, inflicting more burn stack will count towards EXCESS burn stacks (game has no counter for this), and each excess burn stack increases incantation might by 15%, 10 excess stacks = 150% incantation might, making her hit really hard.

[@estelle4778]

This is also not a correct way to demonstrate btw, Isolde can get incredibly quick finale but that is not the whole point. The whole point is to get Finale while using the rights amount and AP priority. This is just a show case to GET her to finale ,not an actual show case of real combat where you would optimize both her and other DPS . The normal tip is to have passive unit like TF or pickle, aal and just stock up preignition burn stacks and use it when you need. Also P2 is not useless, P2 in normal term will speeds up her burn by 2 turns. And why it is not useless even with 2 turns? Because it allow not only faster power spikes, it also allows her to reach phase burns easier in a condition where her power is limited such as 6-2. You can try to do exactly same test at boss 6-2 and see how it goes

[@Destr0th]

You obviously did not read the description. As explained, getting to Finale first, then once we hit Finale, it really depends on how you want to use her. As sub DPS or as support, you are right, I am not showcasing her gameplay but "how to achieve Finale quickly". So the first 4 turns are crucial to dump the preignition stacks so more burn is applied quickly. Once we hit Finale, it's better to have a passive unit like TF and to drop all the preignition stacks especially before Isolde uses her Ulti. Finale also meant she start giving more buff Quickly. So prioritize getting to Finale then do whatever you want later that suite your playstyle. Then pls read the disclaimer, I mentioned that if a boss cleanse, or fight with many waves, then this demonstration is not applicable cause the burn stack disappears. No need 6-2, but the current Boss Fight for 1.7 is actually difficult to get heat stack due to boss resetting it's status and removing burn stack while doing so. PLUS, reason I use 6-1 to demonstrate? Obvious reason as above, 6-2 boss cleanse, my gameplay will be different, my point about dumping Preignition stack that is on other units in the early 4 rounds will not be valid BUT how many fight that Boss actually cleanse? To do a comparison, there need to be a certain fixed variable, I clearly didn't label this video as "How to use Isolde" but "How to achieve Finale". I will do Isolde gameplay demonstration on the Raid. As for P2, up to you, if just simply based on Limbo 6-2 and then you decide to pull for P2, that entirely on you. How many fight does the boss cleanse or that which have many waves? Lastly answer me this, even with P2, will you use Isolde in the current Limbo 6-2?
