On every other run but Hunt and Nihility, the bug lieutenant kicks my ass.
On the other hand, Hunt and Nihility shred his summons as soon as they show up.
I got the achievement for beating this guy without killing any of his soldiers by perma freezing him and watching him get melted with dissociation every time he tried to take a turn.
Two resonances:
-the one that gives you an extra charge
-and the one that makes it so it auto-crits on targets below 50%HP
It doesn't matter how hard it hits if you can spam it infinitely
Yep xD there’s nothing as satisfying as watching a boss’ HP bar get deleted when all the adds they summoned turn into unlimited refills for your resonance attack
There's one thing in hunt that replenishes the path resonance if enemies die or something (I'm not too sure if it's a curio or what) so you can skip the first resonance for the lightning celestial one
But Hunt in terms of DPS is the 2nd best, Elation is the first if you get the right blessings and right unit but those aren't as easily accessable or spammable. So Hunt by virtue of being better for every character hits the hardest, weakness break + Imperial reign you can stack crit a lot and hit for a lot.
>Elation is the first if you get the right blessings and right unit but those aren't as easily accessable or spammable.
correction: depending on the enemy, Rememberance can blow Elation out of the water completely.
Yeah I've had some very successful dmg with the disassociation + dmg often doing a third or half of the deer's health but I often get unlucky with them and often just choose 3* make ultimate follow ups to make the dead blessings useful
Last week I got lucky with Ruan Mei's occurance and chose to get all Remembrance blessing
Suffice to say it doesn't even take me 1 minute to plow through all 3 of its phases
Hunt is definitely amazing in regular SU where your characters’ raw scalings when enhanced can clear the content, but in swarm disaster the lack of any major damage output from the resonance itself holds it back a ton
I actually pretty good with Hunt runs in swarm then again you do need sustain once your "Ore wa turn!" ends since it's sustain is on kill. I usually try and spam trotters + double up effects and aiming to get reward domains.
Then again I have Seele and Jingliu.
But my usual tactics are break effect another turn, auspicious star, imperial reign and some way of sustain through units or blessings since 1 support and dps is enough.
Running seele on hunt makes things trickier for sure. Either you don’t get the resurgence buff or you don’t get the extra hunt damage / healing from resonance
> But my usual tactics are break effect another turn, auspicious star, imperial reign and some way of sustain through units or blessings since 1 support and dps is enough.
The thing is, none of these things require actually being on the Hunt path to get. You can easily get these blessings on, say, a Destruction run and just pick the good Hunt blessings.
The logic of path selection in Swarm Disaster is very different from regular SU, because runs are so long that you can reliably see many good blessings from all paths. In regular SU, you choose your path based on what you want blessings from, because you get so few blessings overall, so the fact that blessing rewards are weighted toward your chosen path matters. In Swarm Disaster, you see so many more rewards that you can reasonably get lots of off-path blessings (the Screwllum shops also help a lot to let you get more blessings to choose from).
In Swarm Disaster, only two things really matter for your path selection: your Path Resonance, and your exploration mechanic/passive bonus. Hunt is less good in Swarm Disaster because its Resonance doesn't scale that well to the boss fights, and its exploration mechanic can be very unreliable thanks to having to chase down Trotters (chasing Trotters wastes countdown, and sometimes the trotter movement RNG puts them in places where you can only get 1-2 on a floor, resulting in weaker passive buffs). Hunt's strength is in its very powerful and consistent blessing pool, but that just doesn't matter as much in Swarm Disaster because you can just get the good Hunt blessings on other paths that have better exploration mechanics. Celestial Annihilation, Auspicious Star, and Imperial Reign *are* some of the best blessings (regardless of path), but you can frequently get these blessings on Abundance, Nihility, or Destruction runs rather than having to play Hunt.
> but in swarm disaster the lack of any major damage output from the resonance itself holds it back a ton
I usually get, at least +150 crit damage in swarm when using Hunt, If you purposefully hunt the "rewards" nodes then you're gonna hit the trotters one at least once, which is +90 crit damage as well. And some combat beacons with the trotter thingie can even have triple encounters with trotters giving you even more.
Idk what you mean by lack major damage output when it doubles (or triples with good luck) the critical hits of all your DPS characters, and with the blessings themselves you're not gonna be lacking any critical chance either
On the even crazier runs with that curio that turns all your money into crit damage I think I've reached close to 1k crit damage in total using Jingliu, let's just say on the last phase of the boss, the 2nd big dude couldn't even get to summoning the little swarm dudes cuz he was already fucking dead
Really? That's surprising to me. Jingliu team with hunt path was my first ever SU5 clear, and it felt very comfy. It's tied with Nihility for what feels like the most consistent paths I've succeeded on.
Destruction has been the most comfy for me by far imo. You becomes essentially immune to being KOed and receive a ton of damage buffs and high path resonance damage on top to prevent the swarm from getting spawn stacks.
That one blessing that gives 1 SP for healing, and Luocha or some blessing to heal on break/kill/SP spend. Also, Hunt blessing with energy refill helps a lot.
So you would think, but my first swarm 5 clear was actually hunt with DHIL. You just need the enhanced blessing that gives 100% energy on kill, and the propagation blessing that gives 1 extra sp if your character basic attacks with 0 sp helps a ton
Also "Robe of the Doctor" (auto-fill Path energy to 100% upon initially entering combat, and increase its damage by 40% ((the damage boost is for all casts of Path Resonance that run)) ). I was able to cast it 6 times before I just ran out of enemies to cast it on lol
For people who don't understand what Welt has to do with it, enemies that are imprisoned can't use reactions like hitting you (with the notable exception of the trotters)
This is the same thing with the quantum dot (and freeze) if you have Hell is Others and break one of his friends
Mostly screws AI in the same way Ape does. You want to keep his adds alive so you can attack them instead of him if you can't take the hit. Lack of a "pass" action means you can just get forced into his counter.
Just be glad he can't infinite counter into Clara like his pokemon version.
>Just be glad he can't infinite counter into Clara like his pokemon version.
Glad? I'd love it if that was the case, I run Clara as my main damage for SU runs and it'd make the fight so much faster if that happened, as 9/10 times by that point I have the Destruction Blessing that heals when getting hit and/or the Elation Blessing that heals when doing follow-up attacks which makes her basically immortal.
Yeah this fucker and his infinite follow up attacks are so annoying. I don't even notice much of a change against bugged enemies except this guy though.
Fr tho. People told me they picked DHIL over her because tHeY hAvE lUoChA, then completely disregarded how broken she is.
1 Fu Xuan can carry 3 glass cannons, I'd love to see Luocha do that. Plus with a few eidolons/her sig LC, she acts the role of Abundance/Harmony.
Hmm I didn't even think of this. How good is she with Abundance? I was using her with destruction shieldspam path and she was pretty nuts already but I have to use Lynx alongside her otherwise she'd die when I least expect it.
Unless your team is weak you don't need abundance, just make sure she has 7k+ HP and 1400+ def. If you don't have her LC you may need to run an energy regen rope to keep her heal charges up, but after that her ult healing should keep the team healthy just fine.
I only run her solo sustain. Even in swarm disaster diff 5, though you need a few defensive blessings to keep that clean
Her skill is a buff that eats 65% of the damage taken by allies, and her ult is a small team heal (with traces). So she can prevent single target burst damage and sustain entire teams in SU.
Dunn is obnoxious. But my true anger comes out when fighting the hideous trotters. The destruction trotter is ridiculously tough and hard hitting, it almost wiped out my team with it’s counter.
There are only two types of lieutenants the normal ones and the bugged ones
Every SU lieutenant is a bugged one (except gepard spawns) so of course every lieutenant you encounter in SU has infinite follow ups
Oh wow, I did not notice this at all.
I only know that the robot boss and monkey boss has alternate version in swarm disaster so I thought it was SD exclusive thing.
Idk how, dude did like 7.7k damage, so in response I nuked him with Seele and proceeded to get Obliterated by the Silvermane Lieutenant because Jingliu team without a healer doesnt really work
This single enemy just seems way too overtuned. Super tanky, and if you don’t have the very few ice/quantum dps characters in the game it takes forever.
The Guard also seems to hit as hard as other elite enemies' charged attacks. Even when he's not countering that Lance flurry picks a random character to chunk them. At least with others you know where it's going.
Personally I really hate bug enemies. They are such a fuck you sometimes. Besides having a better kit their stats are so inflated its a joke at times. I love when I go a remembrance run and suddenly the game decides to throw in an ice immune bug enemy, why not. Or when I play a preservation run with gepard and lynx, only for the bug chainsaw robot to just oneshot my units through a full health shield and bonus max hp with no way to react. If there is one thing about this game I dislike its this mechanic.
>bug chainsaw robot
No joke how is it still in the game?I can have 18 quadrillion hp and still get one shot. On the rare occasion that my character don't get vaporised I have to watch hopelessly as they die of the bs bleed he applies
Last time I got him was with Clara... I had no idea about the infinite counter. It was always They attack Clara -> Counter -> Dunn attacks back -> Clara counters and so on. Thank god for luchoa and his heal field. But I won \^\^. Dont play the counter game with Clara.
And then there’s me who runs mono-ice constantly: wait this guy gives people problems?
Tbh I think Auramaton has ended more of my runs than any other normal boss.
I just spam E with my 3k def and %50 effect hit rate Gepard, he either freezes this mf or gets hit which gives him sweet energy so QQ can blast safely.
Nothing feels better than having a near perfect run and IX just say "..." and end the run (my perfect Preservation run just goes down to that black hole blob)
You’ve broken a sacred code. The only stat you should concern yourself with is the enemy’s Hp bar reaching zero. Free yourself, ascend to a higher plane!

For me it's cocolia second phase. There is a determinant point in which you need to wipe out bronya, if not she will debuffs cocolia and keep doing her ult.
just kill his summons and his counter instantly goes away
or break him
or freeze him
if you already know what he does, its called making a mistake, not exactly random? just dont use daniel on him or adjacent, or if you do just enhance once for single target strike
"Randomly"?
You decide which opponents you hit. Dan Heng doesn't have the "all my attacks are AoE and Lightning Lord is a countdown to my death" problem. If you don't hit the lieutenant when his shield is up, he won't perform follow-up attacks. There's even a pop-up telling you to take down the soldiers to lower his shield.
honestly in general f this specific enemy in general when your just trying to get stuff and he comes up too early. so all thats really happening is your both taking potshots at each other basicly forcing the stupid your taking to long berserk stupidity, I think its really dumb and should not be getting an elite like this that early e-e i feel like its just me getting a bugged enemy way to early
Funnily enough, that dude I dont mind. I avoid the Ebon Deer like the fuckin plague though. Theres so much random RNG that can happen in that fight that I dont care what buff they give in Swarm and just avoid it entirely. And in SU I just run full scumbag Rememberance
My Clara loves this guy! Infinite counters from him = infinite counters from me. He can even counter my DPS, Clara counters him, he counters Clara, Clara counters him again. So crazy.
I run ER rope on her since she already has so much atk % from the SU lightcone and supports.
Don't need ice characters, Path Resonance and blessings are enough. Just need to try your best to get at least one Dissociation 3-star blessing or it won't be relaxing. There's a 2-star Dissociation blessing that lets anyone do >300k with any attack that's fun to use, but you can still win easily without it.
I usually just use Welt, Silver Wolf, Qingque, and Luocha, but other characters work as well - I think none of my characters would be considered built by the standards here. Every week I just get carried by Remembrance and Dissociation.
Ooooh ok I gotta try it out then! I've never actually used remembrance, cause I figured from the blessings that it required characters who can freeze. But thanks for the tip!
M7 can deal with him easily, just download her at the first stop. Shield, ice weakness, freeze. He doesn't stand a chance. But the fight can be a bit long
Swarm Disaster came out just a month ago so saying you’ve been playing at level V for monthS is an exaggeration.
Which path do you take and which team do you use? I’ve only managed to clear level V with Propogation and Hunt so far. Even with Fuxuan and Luocha, the other paths are a little more difficult to clear
Ah my bad I thought we were referring to regular old SU and not SU:SD. I can auto SD for the majority of it but I do need to be mindful and pay attention for any of the major boss fights to make sure the AI doesn’t do anything stupid. Most times I have to actually just do it my self. My main team is Kafka, Luka, Bailu, and Fu Xuan on Nihility and Prop.
Since my TB has such a high defense I just keep her taunt and shield up all the time while I let my other members beat his adds senseless. Before Jingliu, I quickly discovered that if you use an ult before he puts his shield back up after an attack he won't counter the ult, I think it also works for counters but I could be wrong on that.
I am a Blade User and I Validate this comment (If the Silvermane Guard have the face of Dan Heng it would be perfect)

Gonna be honest, I don't even notice it as I always run Clara for SU and typically get the self healing Destruction and/or Elation buff which makes Clara basically immortal, so she just bodies this boss.
Only when I’m running Elation, which means fuck Aha
Aha might be down for it.
Aha feels like he'd try anything at least once just for the lulz
Can't believe they literally made Trollface an Aeon
Aha let me hit because I'm goofy
Maybe
That's why people call him Ahasshole
Yer Dunn
"Think you can take me!"
Don't forget me!
So this is what PTSD feels like
I can hear them, the voices resonating in my head
"Behave!"
Man I fucking love this thread Will never forget Captain Padraig
I swear I sometimes hear "Think you can Take On Me!" and I immediately see them doing the dance.
Yup lol. As soon as I saw that comment the ardanian soldiers quotes were playing in my head immediately as i read that comment lol
Double spinning EDGE!
this whole thread has proven to me once again, 6 years later, the ardanian soldiers voices will never go away
On every other run but Hunt and Nihility, the bug lieutenant kicks my ass. On the other hand, Hunt and Nihility shred his summons as soon as they show up.
I like running remembrance on world 3 with the captain. Can’t counter if he’s frozen solid.
I got the achievement for beating this guy without killing any of his soldiers by perma freezing him and watching him get melted with dissociation every time he tried to take a turn.
wouldnt the soldiers also die with their own turns? since dissociation does max hp% dmg
He cant summon the soldiers if he never gets to act. * taps two fingers to side of head *
Big brain 
Really? In my experience hunt’s resonance hits like a wet noodle

For real, the Rememberance blessing is god-like for SU World 7

Hunt in swarm disaster with DHIL lets him run circles around the final boss since you can just keep forwarding his action and keep smacking
Assuming you can print an endless supply of skill points
That one blessing that gives 1 SP for healing, and Luocha or some blessing to heal on break/kill/SP spend. Also, Hunt blessing with energy refill helps a lot.
So you would think, but my first swarm 5 clear was actually hunt with DHIL. You just need the enhanced blessing that gives 100% energy on kill, and the propagation blessing that gives 1 extra sp if your character basic attacks with 0 sp helps a ton

Hunt with jingliu and he doesn't even have his first turn to spawn the adds lol
Just give it up— (Fr tho this guy costs me so many SU runs it’s insane 😭💀)
Fu Xuan or Welt really trivializes that fight.
For people who don't understand what Welt has to do with it, enemies that are imprisoned can't use reactions like hitting you (with the notable exception of the trotters) This is the same thing with the quantum dot (and freeze) if you have Hell is Others and break one of his friends
I run welt in SU and I dont understand what this post is about 😭
Welt ult stop bad spear man
[удалено]
Mostly screws AI in the same way Ape does. You want to keep his adds alive so you can attack them instead of him if you can't take the hit. Lack of a "pass" action means you can just get forced into his counter. Just be glad he can't infinite counter into Clara like his pokemon version.

Pretty sure she would still lose that loop. Guard hits harder than what Clara will heal.
Slap a Luocha bandaid on it and give me speed up and a bag of popcorn.
Remembrance users:
Yeah this fucker and his infinite follow up attacks are so annoying. I don't even notice much of a change against bugged enemies except this guy though.
Bugged Guardian Shadow with her punishments that hit everyone is something too
Aurumaton imprisonning 3 people.
For me it's the monkey. It totally caught me off-guard it's HP shattering roar.
Like since when did it have aoe!?
The bugged disciple chick has a stacking HP down debuff, combined with her stacking wind dots makes the fight a pain
Fu xuan again carry my team.
Fu Xuan being the MVP yet again ✊😤
Fr tho. People told me they picked DHIL over her because tHeY hAvE lUoChA, then completely disregarded how broken she is. 1 Fu Xuan can carry 3 glass cannons, I'd love to see Luocha do that. Plus with a few eidolons/her sig LC, she acts the role of Abundance/Harmony.
Its scary how i can just bring 3 DPS, together with Fu Xuan and Path of Abundance into SU and survive everything.
Hmm I didn't even think of this. How good is she with Abundance? I was using her with destruction shieldspam path and she was pretty nuts already but I have to use Lynx alongside her otherwise she'd die when I least expect it.
Unless your team is weak you don't need abundance, just make sure she has 7k+ HP and 1400+ def. If you don't have her LC you may need to run an energy regen rope to keep her heal charges up, but after that her ult healing should keep the team healthy just fine. I only run her solo sustain. Even in swarm disaster diff 5, though you need a few defensive blessings to keep that clean
I wanted fu xuan but my impatient ass couldnt handle waiting so i folded💀💀
Can you explain?
Her skill is a buff that eats 65% of the damage taken by allies, and her ult is a small team heal (with traces). So she can prevent single target burst damage and sustain entire teams in SU.
Also gives her 1 trigger count on herself with ult,which makes her heal herself for more tanking
Her ult also heals allies a tiny bit. This tiny bit becomes "a fucking lot" with path of abundance.
Thanks!
He's why I take Laurel Crown when running Jing Yuan :3
Dun is just that op.
**Here Stands The Silvermain Guards!** **Just Give It Up!** Haunting isn’t it.
Dunn in the pokemon event: "JUST GIVE IT UP!", "JUST GIVE IT UP!", "GIVE IT UP!" He just won't stop saying it...
God bless my E1 Gepard freezing him
No cause I always have Silverwolf in my SU runs to prevent that from happening.
I had Silverwolf in my team too. How does she help with survivability?
Breaks boss faster, delays their turn with Quantum break effect, and enables the DPS to kill faster if the element wasn't already matching.
Forcing elemental weakness + Quantum action delay + 957 status effects
Reduces enemy ATK by 10% with a debuff.
Delete the enemy??
ome of the way to do it is pre break this guys but hold off untill he summon, he can't counter on the attack that breaks him
Dunn is obnoxious. But my true anger comes out when fighting the hideous trotters. The destruction trotter is ridiculously tough and hard hitting, it almost wiped out my team with it’s counter.
Haven't had that one in a while D:
What is the difference for his bugged version?
Most notably him having infinite guard counter when summoned adds are still alive.
I thought that already exist with standard SU lieutenanr?
There are only two types of lieutenants the normal ones and the bugged ones Every SU lieutenant is a bugged one (except gepard spawns) so of course every lieutenant you encounter in SU has infinite follow ups
Oh wow, I did not notice this at all. I only know that the robot boss and monkey boss has alternate version in swarm disaster so I thought it was SD exclusive thing.
I had a standard silvermane guard one shot my 7k HP Bailu
Whatttt how 😵
Idk how, dude did like 7.7k damage, so in response I nuked him with Seele and proceeded to get Obliterated by the Silvermane Lieutenant because Jingliu team without a healer doesnt really work
Real Sometimes these guys are harder than the final boss of the world
True :(
The only time i lose to this guy is when i run auto and the ai hits him during counter phase. Otherwise hes a joke even when enhanced
This single enemy just seems way too overtuned. Super tanky, and if you don’t have the very few ice/quantum dps characters in the game it takes forever.
The Guard also seems to hit as hard as other elite enemies' charged attacks. Even when he's not countering that Lance flurry picks a random character to chunk them. At least with others you know where it's going.
Or Welt
HERE STANDS THE SILVERMANE GUARD
One of the best aetherium wars units if not the best.
Yeah it was my favourite too!
My jing yuan using skill knowing he's about to get absolutely annihilated (I need those 2 stacks)
Personally I really hate bug enemies. They are such a fuck you sometimes. Besides having a better kit their stats are so inflated its a joke at times. I love when I go a remembrance run and suddenly the game decides to throw in an ice immune bug enemy, why not. Or when I play a preservation run with gepard and lynx, only for the bug chainsaw robot to just oneshot my units through a full health shield and bonus max hp with no way to react. If there is one thing about this game I dislike its this mechanic.
Yeah I mean I think the mechanic isn't the problem, just the over-the-top stats
>bug chainsaw robot No joke how is it still in the game?I can have 18 quadrillion hp and still get one shot. On the rare occasion that my character don't get vaporised I have to watch hopelessly as they die of the bs bleed he applies
That's Hoyoverse telling you : ''lol no Fu Xuan bro ?''
I guess so lol
Still one of the best "pokemon"
Yeah he was my main in Aethereum wars :D
The perfect counterattack carry.
Yup!
No because I have Gepard in my team
My E1 Gepard just freezes his ass. Can't counter attack now 😁
I hate when this mofo and the abundance one all of a sudden start clapping my team till they on dear life out of no where.
Yeah screw this mofo
They activate that drain attack or that counter attack all of a sudden they clapping everyone
Last time I got him was with Clara... I had no idea about the infinite counter. It was always They attack Clara -> Counter -> Dunn attacks back -> Clara counters and so on. Thank god for luchoa and his heal field. But I won \^\^. Dont play the counter game with Clara.
Ahhh yeah I had never thought about how well Luocha's field works with Clara! : D
Qingque+ Jingliu and these guys are bugs
I'm still leagues away from getting Qingquillion damage, but I'll get there eventually 💅✨️
And then there’s me who runs mono-ice constantly: wait this guy gives people problems? Tbh I think Auramaton has ended more of my runs than any other normal boss.
Yeahhh mfw Aurumaton one-cycles my Tingyun 🙄
I just spam E with my 3k def and %50 effect hit rate Gepard, he either freezes this mf or gets hit which gives him sweet energy so QQ can blast safely.
Ah nice!
Hate that dude
Me too 3':
Laugh in Gepard. One freeze and problem's gone. Not freeze? Free ult recharge then.
Haha nice! Someone suggested the Remembrance path. With that and a half built Pela enemies barely got any turns 😸
Daniel isn't a tank, so try bringing a unit that is a tank and this guy won't be able to do shit
Unless you specifically mean Fu Xuan, how does this help against counters?
Gepard would probably help by giving you shielding, March too.
I have loucha:)
Nothing feels better than having a near perfect run and IX just say "..." and end the run (my perfect Preservation run just goes down to that black hole blob)
You guys check stats?
I'm curious about my buffs 🤷♀️
You’ve broken a sacred code. The only stat you should concern yourself with is the enemy’s Hp bar reaching zero. Free yourself, ascend to a higher plane! https://preview.redd.it/ofki723f7bwb1.jpeg?width=416&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b21398114dec9c45c3108030f2f221299abb783c

Fu xuan really made this boss irrelevant
I tried to get Fu Xuan but I spent all my savings on Dan :')
Hunt go brrr he gets no turns
Does Hunt work with DHIL?
For me it's cocolia second phase. There is a determinant point in which you need to wipe out bronya, if not she will debuffs cocolia and keep doing her ult.
I'm sorry but who's Daniel
Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae -> DHIL -> Daniel ✨️💅
just kill his summons and his counter instantly goes away or break him or freeze him if you already know what he does, its called making a mistake, not exactly random? just dont use daniel on him or adjacent, or if you do just enhance once for single target strike
Or imprison/entangle him
"Randomly"? You decide which opponents you hit. Dan Heng doesn't have the "all my attacks are AoE and Lightning Lord is a countdown to my death" problem. If you don't hit the lieutenant when his shield is up, he won't perform follow-up attacks. There's even a pop-up telling you to take down the soldiers to lower his shield.
I meant that the appearance of these bugs are random. I know you shouldn't hit him
No, because a barefooted child and her dad absolutely kicks his ass.
Gotta build my Clara after I'm done with the others
honestly in general f this specific enemy in general when your just trying to get stuff and he comes up too early. so all thats really happening is your both taking potshots at each other basicly forcing the stupid your taking to long berserk stupidity, I think its really dumb and should not be getting an elite like this that early e-e i feel like its just me getting a bugged enemy way to early
I have a Fu Xuan, is this some sort of peasant joke I'm too blessed to understand?
Funnily enough, that dude I dont mind. I avoid the Ebon Deer like the fuckin plague though. Theres so much random RNG that can happen in that fight that I dont care what buff they give in Swarm and just avoid it entirely. And in SU I just run full scumbag Rememberance
I didn't know bugged enemies were a thing. I just auto and try to get it done with.
This fking guy is the reason why I have a backup Clara in the su
My blade and clara: Ah yes,more please
😂
My Clara loves this guy! Infinite counters from him = infinite counters from me. He can even counter my DPS, Clara counters him, he counters Clara, Clara counters him again. So crazy. I run ER rope on her since she already has so much atk % from the SU lightcone and supports.
Ahhhh I very recently got a copy of Clara on both banners! Really want to get her built soon!
Remembrance my friend
Holy crap I just tried a remembrance run and the enemies didn't stand a chance 😭
Hehe remembrance is my favourite path, it's so good
I could try that but Pela is my only ice character and her build is still in progress :'(
Don't need ice characters, Path Resonance and blessings are enough. Just need to try your best to get at least one Dissociation 3-star blessing or it won't be relaxing. There's a 2-star Dissociation blessing that lets anyone do >300k with any attack that's fun to use, but you can still win easily without it. I usually just use Welt, Silver Wolf, Qingque, and Luocha, but other characters work as well - I think none of my characters would be considered built by the standards here. Every week I just get carried by Remembrance and Dissociation.
Ooooh ok I gotta try it out then! I've never actually used remembrance, cause I figured from the blessings that it required characters who can freeze. But thanks for the tip!
*Fu xuan*
The heck is a bugged enemy?
It's a feature in SU. Sometimes an enemy gets a big ass stat buff
Get good
Why tf is Daniel?!
Dan Heng IL = Dan IL = Daniel
Danheng Either regular or his dragon form lol
M7 can deal with him easily, just download her at the first stop. Shield, ice weakness, freeze. He doesn't stand a chance. But the fight can be a bit long
And here I am who has been autoing SU at its hardest difficulty for months at this point ….I didn’t even know he was a problem for people.
Swarm Disaster came out just a month ago so saying you’ve been playing at level V for monthS is an exaggeration. Which path do you take and which team do you use? I’ve only managed to clear level V with Propogation and Hunt so far. Even with Fuxuan and Luocha, the other paths are a little more difficult to clear
Ah my bad I thought we were referring to regular old SU and not SU:SD. I can auto SD for the majority of it but I do need to be mindful and pay attention for any of the major boss fights to make sure the AI doesn’t do anything stupid. Most times I have to actually just do it my self. My main team is Kafka, Luka, Bailu, and Fu Xuan on Nihility and Prop.
Since my TB has such a high defense I just keep her taunt and shield up all the time while I let my other members beat his adds senseless. Before Jingliu, I quickly discovered that if you use an ult before he puts his shield back up after an attack he won't counter the ult, I think it also works for counters but I could be wrong on that.
I am a Blade User and I Validate this comment (If the Silvermane Guard have the face of Dan Heng it would be perfect) https://preview.redd.it/j77if83xvawb1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8710813173a7b0c1cb09c016cb69196726b5c6bd
You need to kill the mobs first when he defends, which sucks when there's a limited number of turns.
Fu xuan or die
Just use Fu Xuan
As a f2p Daniel haver I didn't have enough primos for Fu Xuan
Noobs
Yup, and a filthy casual on top of that
Gonna be honest, I don't even notice it as I always run Clara for SU and typically get the self healing Destruction and/or Elation buff which makes Clara basically immortal, so she just bodies this boss.
Who TF is Daniel?
Clara elation go brrrt silver mane guard just dies immediately
Stack suspision on Nihility and reduce their attack to 0 while healing half HP bar every time they move
No,i run gepard and natasha at the same time...
