Can you show us the build and stats ?

[@hybridchicken]

Unfortunately, I forgot to record the build part, but the build is pretty basic because most of the dmg comes from spamming resonance skill. but the key is just to make sure you obtain as many cornerstones as you can, to make sure you have a full 24 preservation blessings + path resonance bonus, especially "Isomorphous reaction" It will regenerate resonance skill every time you gain armor (*fire MC will create a new armor every turn, if you want to build speed for him it will works as well) but here's the build: Gepard: 4 sets of knight armor (def) + Beloblog sphere and rope (def) fire MC: it's just leftover armor that I have, 2set of knight armor + 2set of guard armor + talia sphere & rope *you can fill the last 2 slots with any character.

[@kaizenx5393]

Even when the counter turns negative?

[@seniorwolfy7487]

Dude just go full preservation blessings and have a gepard Enchant "def increase for every preservation" blessing and some other shield and def based blessings Get that 3* destruction blessing which gives 4 fighting spirit every time you get hit because it will increase atk and def Other than that try to get def boosting blessings when there is no preservation blessing because gepard's shield amount is based on his def

[@seniorwolfy7487]

Mine has 5.2k def and it gives me 5.7k shield in normal battles(not in the stimulated universe [without buffs])

[@MrAlexjmercer]

I have Gepard but I haven’t tried Swarm yet as I heard many people screaming in agony playing it. I guess preservation is the key

[@athan_valentine]

Swarm is a Gamble, you either get absolutely insane curios and blessing that make you lore-accurate aeons level of powerful, or you get absolutely obliterated by waves and waves and waves of purple sludge-spitting scarabs, no inbetween

[@astreiya]

If you built Gepard : yes. Preservation is insane, especially with the Nihility interresonance. If you didn't : skip Preservation entirely, because Gepard is, in my opinion, essential for this path to work in Swarm as of now. March works better in Remembrance (which is more f2p-friendly than most paths, may be the most f2p friendly), and Fire MC doesn't give enough shields.

[@saskiazaaura]

You have Gepard, you should take preservation SU swarm but i still use difficulty 1 coz they still 70's Especially mixed with nihility, they're death combo

[@weaboo101]

If you want easy mode, abundance path is for you... Or propagation

just go for the hunt if your team is built with 3 DPS and 1 healer ☠️☠️ (my team is preservation TB with hybrid dps/tank build, firefly, himeko and gallagher) i have gepard but meh couldn't bother building him

[@yosefsts7977]

if march 7 follow up atk deals quake dmg as well, that would be insane ngl

It does! I tried it, and it’s actually a non-negligible amount of damage, even with a shitty build on M7 (she’d lvl 60 on my acc lol)

There is actually a blessing that let u deal quake dmg when attacking but do it work on follow-up atk tho?

[@Felix048]

Just some advice if you tried to play Qingque: Keep rolling first before using ult, so ult will gain dmg bonus together with basic atk. Don't instantly use the ult first.

[@Bonfy]

Usually I activate the ult when I don't get a hand with my skill points

[@Apricoffee]

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind when I build her

[@NeinKyori]

I save my ults for whenever I gambled all my sp without getting a full hand

Just finished difficulty 4 ealier with the same path, but with a couple Abundance blessings aswell and a few Nihillity and Propagation blessings. Put Peservation and Abundance together and you'll get an extreme OP buff. My team was Qinque, Welt, Luocha, and Gepard.

[@anandasatria7734]

Preserve MC is crucial to have in the team, since he fills those reso very fast. Try to have as many cornerstone as possible, each one of the gave you free blessings. Honestly, preservation path is the easiest path to play, even with ftp. Just use M7, MC, QQ, and sushang (to break those red bugs). Focus on getting all reso with nihility and remembrance, and boom you win

[@jayden1164]

Nope, Preservation path Quake damage without Gepard is just garbage.

[@anandasatria7734]

Yes, very much so. Ignore those comments that says no, since they are utter idiots that never even tried. Especially with aoe freeze ult that helps increasing your reso damage a lot. I once reached 20k shield with just one tap of skill, totalling to nearly 50k shield top when I'm done shielding the team. 1m damage each time the reso activates, with 200k bleed damage. The actual key to this path is the trailblazer. Tiny shield, yes, but every time he takes an action, either by basic attack, skill, or ult, it recharges an additional 12 energy for your reso. With the right blessings, you can activate resonance every turn, resulting in permanent amber in your early exploration. My team recomendation is, MC, M7, Yukong, DHIL/QQ Since quake damage can crit, you will want to use Yukong's ult every time it's enemies time to attack in a row. Try to break the red bug that will deal outrage ailment when it explodes. I finished d5 with 7 and less level on the pathstriders
