Mostly just grabbing a random dupe from vault that is naked and throwing leftover gear that rolled poorly from my hoarder stash.  

The problem is going to shift from killing too fast, to not being able to beat at all very quickly I assume.   I'll spend 5 minutes on the first wave of each stage using a1s to complete trials time permitting until then.  With sintranos done for the month and live season complete, nothing else requires actual time in game, correct? 


Im kinda waiting for this too.  Not looking forward to trying to land 20 stuns while also not getting cracked in the face by 300 speed + 9000 attack enemies.

What are y'all using for Shadowkin Hard FW Stage 4 w/o Yumeko?

I have a two completely unbuilt toons that have one turn reduction on a kill, and that is all I can see in my roster (Chonoru & Genzin).  I recently took a Chonoru to 6 star anyway.  I guess I'll have to put her on the front burner, but it won't happen today.

LOL. I think they want us to build Ginro. Possibly the worst Void Lego in the game.  I will definitely try with Chonoru first.

Having a ton of naked vault champs and hoarding gear has proved very useful.  The crappy builds on other champs is also a bonus. I think I'll be giving up on 3 stars very soon though.

worth noting that masteries work for conditions as well. i think harima's cycle of violence did more work on that stage than genzin's a3 did and i've done several duration stages off of lasting gifts/master hexer alone.

Merciless + Impulse sets.  Make a preset for each and shuffle it around.  Unless you're a big ol kraken like Davey with access to every champ you'll need to use sets at some point.

Legitimately dont know a single thing about his kit.  I frequently forget he even exists.

I used her and Hotatsu.  Totally spaced that Shadowkin have a nice AOE leech champ.

Just planning on powering thru and then coming back to it?

I'm assuming it's going to be a struggle just to beat the later stages let alone 3s, so I'll give each a go or 2 then move on.  I didn't finish NM campaign until the mission (Marius or ramantu? ) and that was a little bit easier.   I think getting Marius was the only time I really rushed to getting a "one-time" reward.  I thought it was stupid at the time, never thought he was going to be THAT good.  😆  in retrospective no regrets on that one.  But that was easy, just tons of gems and masterful planning :)

Makes sense.  Marius is literally game changing everywhere, Polara I suspect will just be a good arena nuker.

Thanks. No idea why I was only thinking about skills and not gear for the FW challenges.  Used a couple of my Sintranos presets and made short work of it.    

Did the Orcs last night using Tuhak & Vrask on manual. Gear would've been much simpler. LOL.

It's just a different approach, to some degree.

I will say I think there's a good argument that the gear swap economy needs to change in a hurry because silver costs are going to be a thing unless we want to be super patient in terms of pushing hard FW.

Really think they are concerned with that? 😆
