It sucks that they don’t let you use red deri for anything anymore, bosses always have buff removal, over-amplify, damage reduction per buff on you, ignore dodge, increased damge against demons, decreased damage from demons, and now damage caps.

Taunt Rimuru would of been so good for this if he had UR gear and better stats. His Since stance has a taunt, grants debuff immunity and heals 50% of diminished hp.

[@hysteppes10]

as F2P it is near impossible. I only 5 have out of the main 9 are red gowther, diane, sariel, margaret and elizabeth. the only one i have at level 90 is margaret with gowther and sariel at level 80 i know that the game will alienate the F2P playerbase as time goes on so i am glad this is not my main gacha game

[@Disabled_Dog]

The constant meta shifts and required investment on units make the game a terrible experience for free to plays like me. Especially with how jewy net marble is always making activity’s so time consuming with such little rewards. Then the time gates are also just so aids you can’t even just sit down and farm all you want for most necessary materials you have to come back every day and repeat the same shit over and over and it’s just not a good experience at all

[@hysteppes10]

@@Disabled_Dog i agree entirely. if netmarble took a break a week or two between every new banner/event it would be possible for people to actually play the game. i am saving diamonds for the festival gowther banner and i have never saved diamonds on the game before. the process of spending a lot of time on content which is not fun does not have any appeal and if i was asked if it is worth playing i would say no. my main gacha game is Azur Lane and i could gladly spend a few hours a day playing it. it is simple but it is appealing to me and the creators actually care about the player base instead of milking them for their money. i can farm what i want and when i want on there because i am not locked out of any material farming other than when my oil (the game's stamina) is low or my characters are low on moral. also unlike netmarble with grand cross, yostar (the devs of Azur lane) listen a ton to the fanbase while making the gacha the most free to play friendly thing ever, players will save up cubes (main currency for pulls) between events which is usually a two week gap. rates for new characters will be from %2 upwards with one character being 0.5% because you can get them from the event shop by just farming for the event currency. I have spent on AL before but that was for skins. it was my first time spending on the gacha in it only in it's current event, only because i knew that the character i was missing can be a guaranteed drop from the gacha if i am unlucky. i have played it since february last year, where as 7ds i have been playing since the re:zero event this year, and it is proof that having really nice graphics does not mean anything. oh damn i ranted a bit, i have bias towards Azur lane yes, but i can't help compare how friendly one game is to it's players while the other is a piece of crap to it's F2P community.

[@utkukilicci2896]

As a F2P I got the meta team of b deri margaret elllie and sariel. all of them 90 and SA6. Still couldn't do it but you are a lazy F2P probably

[@thecalamityguy2664]

I couldn't get Margaret I spent hundreds on diamonds and barely got anything. So it's hard for me to do f2p teams when every time now seems to heavily really on Margaret which sucks. I don't play this game as much I play other gacha games more now because this game is pretty unfair for f2p players especially after the holy relics.

[@hysteppes10]

[@p1cko_]

doesn't merlin have a powerstrike card? why isnt she in the list ? or am i missing something here?

[@brunolm94]

does Deri command reduces de boss damage too? Since all his skills are ranged

[@TickleMeHarder]

I can beat the first stage about 25% of the time depending on card rng. I use Margaret, Sariel (for the powerstrike which is necessary), green Princess Elizabeth, and either blue Drole or Gowther

[@superrunnerx1]

This is fucking ridiculous. Lol you basically have to rely on rng to even have a chance at beating it.

[@patcole7038]

Which Growther? And how do you keep blue drole alive for this?

@@patcole7038 probably red gowther, drole has increased hp related stats so I think he heals way more from liz heals while using his taunt.

@@patcole7038 I only have red Gowther so I use him. The bird has an effect that eliminates any attribute advantage/disadvantage for himself and your team. And I use hp/defense gear on Drole with Tarmiel link for the extra heals

@@TickleMeHarder wouldn't it be better to have recovery gear on him then Hp? Would make heals more effective. 1 set of recovery gear with 2 defense sets

[@patcole7038]

How do you survive the 2nd battle where the bird starts off with debuff and weak point without Green Diane? His weak point just kills anyone else with taunt as he debuffs first from what I see

[@Ferfa0407]

quick question, i've seen using green liz everytime, why not red? she will give constant heals, and her ulti's effect is soooo good as she heals for 3 turns... yeah you loose the 2 ult gauge bonus with green liz, but i think that having constant heal could be more effective

Maybe they should start thinking on bringing new game modes capping sistem, like free to use skills mode, but with and energy limitation based on card stars or with a cooldown skill and ult use. And with maybe I mean for sure as hell should do this because the card rng limitation only gets you so far. And it´s not like there is masisve strategy variation for the game today. F2P or P2W

[@LRsonic]

It’s a stupid theory but I’m guessing for now we can only slowly farm the first stage and get our main 4 units for this boss to unlock their relic first and after acquired the relic, it will starting to feel easier cos your unit will be stronger.

[@michaellouie3948]

Blue drole actually works pretty well for the stages, at least 1

[@MeteoriteNero]

He is good because he taunts, but derieri deals decent damage with his ult and has buff removal

[@faliorn2716]

Still struggling here as F2P. My team: Sariel, G Liz, G Diane and Ludo Margaret. The first bird is ok, but I haven't been able to beat the second stage yet. Got to the 3rd stage, but either I spend my Sariel cards and miss dmg, or I don't get there. No Green Gowther or Brunhilde here :(

[@michael85052]

I feel as though this team you also is requiring to have your units 6/6 because I have mine at 1/6 and my serial is 6/6 my 1/6 units does not do no damage at all on the last phase so I got to rely on him to do all the damage last phase

[@phill6332]

Can u keep farming the 1st stage or once u get the rewards that's it?

[@AleksanderHryniewiecki]

Why didn't you mention that this 3500% attack always misses if you have taunt up? Also, about passives boss gains on phase 3 stage 1, and phases 2/4 in stage 2? It's random so depending on the passive you get especially in stage 1, stage 2 might be much harder some times.

[@riwanramli7604]

Is brunhild is a mist have if i already owned sariel? Is she better than sariel?

[@MrNaz04]

I barely get any power strike card. I use brinhild and got like 2 or three power strike cards. And then I tried sariel and got no power strike card until phase 4. The rates on getting power strike card for me was like 0.01%
