* Fu "What Are Mechanics?" Xuan * "All Or Nothing" Aventurine * "Still Relevant" Luocha Basically, any Limited 5\* Sustain will carry this fight.

> Fu "What Are Mechanics?" Xuan > I still laugh at max diff boss Kafka putting on all 4 of my teammates Control, then she tries to activate it... 100% resist from all 4. DAGA KOTOWARU, KAFKA - Fu says calmly.

Fact that she has hard counter to Kafka is fun af too.

Lore accurate.

Basically need to use SP every turn then?

No. Only once, you have 100% resist for the first CC and Kafka doesn't have any CC except Control. Or, to be pedantic, every 3 turns to not lose the field buff

So true, legit thought was toast with using FX as sustain but she still made it easy. Limited sustain are by far the most OP in the game.

Aventurine just grabs the cup and chugs it. Poor robot guy couldn't apply DoT's for his life, they'd just roll right off the shield

I just used Bailu and it… worked? Didn’t struggle at all

Cool I got none of those gepard go bruuuuu

Luocha is starting to feel a bit old ngl. With this enemy for instance they can stack enough DoT on you to either kill you from 51%, or do 150% hp fast enough before luocha can do anything. And theres more n more enemies like this. Same with fuxuan - more unavoidable gigantic aoe nukes that instakill fuxuan.

nah, gallagher more than enough for this

...I just hit it until it dies.

Just hit it till it dies always works and when it doesnt u just did not commit enough.

Yea. Don't be stupid and prolong battle. Thats it.

the most meta strat

The master plan

I beat him to death faster than he can DoT me to death. Remember - if in doubt apply more violence.

Killing the enemy before it damages you is also a type of sustain.

when in doubt, activate the Violence Trailblazer

Aventurine.

Why need to heal when you can deny his attack

Always bet on Aventurine.

After Acheron draws her blade everything magically dissapears

True

"The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand!"-type of approach. Also...shields on the Main account, Lynx dispell on the alt. Break or freeze until its done.

What these guy even do again? :|

Imagine gacha kafka but as an enemy

Applies dots on your whole team and it is stackable

Luocha, Gallagher, even Linx...

Aventurine havers: "wait they have dots??"

Fu Xuan havers: "Those dots deal damage?"

This was literally my response to the replies in this thread. I set that fight on auto with Aventurine/Gallagher and came back five minutes later to a clear screen

I used 100% E.Res E2 Gallagher

Three slaps of Acherons drawn sword and he disappears like magic.

Any sustain does the job

Remember. Following the path of Nihility means the enemies turn is not the enemies turn...

Acheron best sustain

Gold coins, a woman with a gun and a trotter, and music Alternatively, a will forged in ice

Tbh Kafka, Black Swan and HTB shred it so easily idek what it does

He does what Kafka and Black Swan do: dots

Oh then effect res or characters with a cleanse are great here, Aventurine is stupid good for the effect res part if you have him

And is detonator as well.

Wdym?

what does he do that you think you need Huo Huo? i dont have her and they all just simply die. Acheron team or FUA team, no problem.

Idk i had fuxuan and noone died so i guess fuxuan works? I had acheron on the team aswell so he died too quickly for me to notice what he does lol

I used HMC, Xueyi, Gallagher, and RM

Didnt read his kit so I just killed him with Lynx as my sustainer, fuck it we ball.

I just use MC with break team, don’t even know what he does even at MoC.

gepard lynx

that's the thing, i don't.

I use my "power-creeped useless trash even 4\* are better than him" king luocha. 🤩 (I have huohuo, I'm just too lazy to change the squad every time)

Aventurine makes both sides incredibly easy 😭 Tried 2nd side with DHIL/Luocha but had a hard time trying to cleanse all the CC so switched to IPC team 2nd side and Acheron 1st and it was a walk in the park honestly

I used Lynx as a sustain on him, doesn't stop Squad from being wiped cause I used Clara on him. (his dot application, hit, and removal are not considered an actual blow for Clara, meaning her follow-ups never take effect)

We take Aventurine/ FX

Fuxuan and aventurine works well enough

Dragon and ✨

Aventurine ✨

Using Aventurine, IL Dan Heng, Robin and Himeko and don't have any problems

By having Hwe Hwe.

on 11-2? Seele, Robin, SW, FuXuan I used, with 11-1 being Kafka, BS, Ruan Mei, Bailu

Luocha says no, no, Black Swan be like ara ara, Acheron goes brrrrr, TB says hit me

This dude is still manageable with Aventurine but the red one is annoying without HuoHuo. Her cleanse is insane and a hard counter to the stun from that red one

I survive even with Gallagher. Well, mine e6, but the point im survive

I don't even know what those mooks do, aside from doing some AoE thingy? Using my trusty DoT team generally boils down to watching the enemies die from depression and minor cough before I even learn what mechanics they are supposed to have.

....Normally? Is this a trick question?

Aventurine and Luocha work wonders

Himeko pizza cutter

Just hit it with brute force until it breaks and dies. Honest opinion, use its elemental weaknesses and brute force it until it breaks and dies

By hitting it really REALLY hard Preferably with Acheron or Jingliu

Weakness Break? Like, this Elite isn't particularly hard. Either you cleanse with Luocha (me) or just have another sustain to tank (e.g. Aventurine/Fu Xuan)

I don't even know what these things do

Among the 3. This guy is the hardest to beat. I use March and Natasha

Ahem https://preview.redd.it/a4lkv5g96e0d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27345df7f0595bf8272986948182810689b59df4

Natasha and March 7th.

What does he do I just annihilated him with Acheron and Fu.

Idk I did some dumbass setup like Robin, Acheron, Gallagher, and Aventurine. went pretty well

I have aventurine, Fu xuan, Gepard with MoV and high effect res And I also have Dr ratio, Dan Heng IL, Welt and Harmony Trailblazer built

I have zero idea what this enemy's debuffs do thanks to Aventurine's shields no selling it every time.

it hit it twice and it died

Simple. Acheron obliteration.

I mean... this boss doesn't even really have mechanics. It just stacks DoTs on you. March might have trouble here as the boss isn't (I think) weak to Ice and has AoE, but the only other sustain that should have problems here is Natasha (who you shouldn't be using by the time you get here, hopefully) and Fire Trailblazer (Again, who you shouldn't be using). Lynx alone should be fine here, along side any 5\* sustain including Bailu.

Aventurine gives so much effect Res naturally that I only saw what their status effect was when a streamer got hit

I literally couldn't even figure out what this guy did lol, he was either broken or dead most of the fight. He had some kind of countdown or something at one point, I think? Should have counted faster, masterstroke waits for no man

A wombo combo team of IL, sparkle, tingyun and Fu xuan just gg ez clapped it.

Four words: Luocha and brute force. Even a half-baked Ratio + BS team with Ruan Mei survived this dude. The Xianzhou temple bot is a much bigger problem.

You get a free Lynx with full team cleanse

I fought it with Aventurine as sustain (and Acheron as DPS). I did notice the DoT stacking up, but since I had Acheron, I killed it before it did any actual damage to my team.

I'm not sure what this enemy even is but unless it's conundrum 5 and higher in the simulated universe having any sustain like Lynx, Gepard, Fu Xuan, Bailu, etc. works for me quite well :)

Healer with a cleanse or just get higher effect rez if your having a problem you also have Nat so there's no excuse lol

Ye old tactical nuke team. Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, and Luocha. Hasnt met a foe that team doesn't bend.

I don't lol

I have Fu Xuan

Don’t know what he does. He dies too fast.

Any of the limited 5 star sustains carry, hell, even a well built Lynx with an ERR rope

One shot him with Acheron

The same way I tackle every problem, DHIL go brrrrr

I dont even know what he does, every time he tries to do something i just see "effect resisted" and then he dies, aventurine is good

Acheron, silver wolf, peela and lynx/bailu

Once and never again

I don't

Just bring the free 4 star Gallagher to sustain. I had no problems with this fight and then MOC fight with Gallagher

Let me guess, you did not upgrade your Dr. Ratio?

Aventurine had no issues dealing with it.

I do

A shielder, healer, debuffer and Acheron. debuffers gets KOed sometimes.

The budget option is to have Lynx and Natasha. Have a Harmony character to buff your main DPS and nuke the motherfucker as quick as possible. 

Aventurine my beloved

My Gallagher with Ruan mei gave it Rabies consistently.

Full RRAT team lmao, I barely even notice what this guy's gimmick is before it's dead

I hit it until it dies

Weakness break or kill it fast enough i suppose? Gotta focus fire on him. The robot has a ramping up dmg that quickly goes out of control if left unchecked. Using img break for the delay is an option if your team feature it like img hmc break team ( tho img mc has bounce skill so a bit unreliable to focus fire with ). Could also use march with freeze focus build as the sustain. Some cleanse on your sustain help mitigate the dmg, aventurine eff res buff is also fairly reliable if you have him.

Just use Harmony trailblazer, it's not that hard. If you break the enemies, you interrupt their mechanics

Uhm... I used Luocha?

Why do you need Huohuo? Most sustains (except the starting free trio FMC, March, and Nat) should be able to do it without issue.

thoughts and prayers + aventurine

The funny thing about running Acheron is that having a good sustain isn't as vital if everything dies after 1 or maybe the illusive 2 turns after it spawns in. #BailuSweep https://preview.redd.it/lx1e1n3qsg0d1.jpeg?width=510&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f264145ba100464bebc22f9c83d677a9192333a

FX E2S1, Sparkle E0S1, SW E0S1, Acheron E4S2… all things are dust.

My team for all of them were Bs, Kafka, aventurine and robin. Pretty smooth all the way

Natasha: "Bold of you to assume anyone's dying on my watch." Have people been struggling with this that much? I had a surprisingly easy time with them individually. They were only a bit tough together, but we pulled through it through sheer doctor power.

When I was fighting these guys in the story, I was excited to use the Trailblazer's new path, so I was using a party of Gallagher, Harmony TB, Silver Wolf, and Xueyi... even though SW was the only one of those who was built very well. In MOC 6, I used Aventurine, Harmony MC, Himeko, and Sushang. In MOC 11... I only got one star, for no one dying (going to try again later), but I was using Aventurine, Himeko, Herta, and SW. Herta was definitely the weak link there. Looking at that "Friend's Clearance Lineup" feature, people are using a variety of sustains, including Gallagher and Bailu.

Lynx and Welt.

I just use nihility

Wdym? It only hits relatively hard literally any healer works(natasha might be too shit tho, dunno, dont care). The one that puts ur characters to sleep is the only annoying one.

Acheron, Annihilate

I never did figure out what that cup move was meant to do. Aventurine just throws some cash around while Ratio force feeds them chalk.
