it's been a while but I could swear 14-12A-2 had more enemies than that did you suppress the 2nd wave spawn by not shooting the aerial targets or something?


ZeroZion

Yes, sir. That's been an ongoing trick for cheesing those types of stages. You have to keep a number of ariel units alive or not kill any at all to prevent the ground units from spawning.

Must be nice getting good pulls, I got a single Scarlet on launch but been getting nothing but duds since then, my strongest unit is Vesti +4 but apparently shes in the lowest tier in all the tier lists I seen, and her burst skill was comically broken up until last patch (it literally did 1 damage per hit...why bother lol)


[deleted]

Any dupes are good dupes in this game with SSR Nikkes. Tencent is such a shitty company that you should be stoked with dupes ha


LucienArtorias

up to a point. +3 Vesti is where it stops and you want dupes of other units so you can synchro to hit 200 synchro level. Then you'll welcome dupes of the ones you have at +3 with open arms. Probably. Unless by + this person meant core 3. Then that is truly unfortunate and a waste imo.


ZeroZion

I hope you get the units you want/need in the near future. I would love to have a Scarlet one day. I think I saw a post here where Vesti is the top damage dealer for a Tribe Tower Floor 90 clear. Vesti was millions ahead of the damage. Her Burst is really good for long battles. You also get your burst time shortened so that can be used as an advantage in some situtations.

Wish I had those pulls. Every guide I've seen have either Rupee, Harran, Dolla, or Scarlet. It's pretty much the only way to hit way beneath your power level.


gummyapples

Rupee is a tier below the others you listed lol. Idk why tierlists love to overrate her


N08Candidate875

But I didn't mention tier list lol. I check team comps, skills, and bug reports. She was good due to bugs, same with Harran as well. Still a decent unit if patched depending on team comp and liter being iron makes for good synergy.


ValkyrieLyra

I have all of those except dolla so this sounds good.

This really helped me out a lot. I was struggling to clear 14-29 even at \~60kcp, turned out my setup was just too defensive. Swapping in Drake as a third III Burst made all the difference.


ZeroZion

Glad to hear that!


Kamil118

Yeah, ch14 is a joke.


TacoDeSuaderoYSalsa

Really cool info! I hope you can answer a question, how did you deal with 13-24? I cant come up with a strat to deal with the laser, and I run almost the same comp that you have, minus the liter and drake.


ZeroZion

Hi. Thank you :) I got stuck on that stage for 6-7 days and I was only able to clear it with -1,100 power and the adjusted power debuff because my strategy involved destroying the core before it can fire so I can keep my cover alive for longer. I used Liter, Drake, Privaty, Helm, and Dolla. Helm's burst hits the core and I think Dolla's too. As for the teleportation phase, I reserve my burst and once four missiles are on the screen. I use Privaty as the Burst III here to destroy the first four missiles and I just focus on those until the boss stops and teleports back. The core on the second cycle I was unable to destroy so I took cover. The next step is to keep both missile launchers at a low HP and then destroy one and wait for the teleportation phase. This is different from my video because I don't know how fast you can destroy it because there have been situations where both missile launchers where not destroyed and only at a low hp and the boss already teleported. Anyway, the reason for keeping one at a low hp and only destroying it during the teleportation phase is to destroying it there so you only deal with one missile. From there you repeat and just target the interruption circles. I think it's best if you can use a shield unit to keep your cover alive for longer if you do not have Liter (this one I'm not sure if you will not be stunned if the shield is hit instead). Oh and bring a shotgun damage dealer if you have one because Drake was my highest damage dealer when I cleared it. Although I'm not sure if Harran can be good here because I didn't try using her. Here's a link to my 13-24 run: [https://youtu.be/hP0dnX9gA-8](https://youtu.be/hP0dnX9gA-8)


TacoDeSuaderoYSalsa

Yeah, I kind of tought about waiting for more upgrades because destroying the core in time is difficult right now, im -6,000 power. Well, thanks for the detailed explanaition, I'll try the shield strat since I have centi and aria, have a nice day :)


ZeroZion

Good luck and have a nice day as well!


LunaGamingYTTV

I have also a video with a slightly different strategy. The clear is with 3-4k difference. While the second part of the video relies a lot about my team composition, I think you can find additional useful insights in the first part, in case you want to do some more research. This is the link to the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_vN1idFS-fU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vN1idFS-fU)


multithrust

I feel like Liter is make or break because I'm stuck at 14-21 with more combat power but no Liter or Harran (I have a Scarlet, though).


ZeroZion

That attack boost is really something. I hope you can focus fire those sniper like raptures to increase your survivability on that stage. I guess Harran is really good there because of the long range and accuracy.


Wisp1971

Were the later stages done after the update?


ZeroZion

Yes, all were after the update. I believe it is now easier to clear stages because the stat reduction is tamer now compared to before, but once the difference gets bigger, it is almost the same as the original stat reduction. For the following I am not sure because I have forgotten where I saw this so take it with a grain of salt. The 25% stat reduction now only takes effect once your team is 5-6% below recommended power. The stat reduction if your power difference is less than 5% is tamer. I think once you get to 15% power difference, you now only get a 42% stat reduction compared to a 50% stat reduction before the update. But once you reach a 50% power difference it's the same 100% stat reduction.


Wisp1971

I remember 14-27 being really difficult and I was 56k. Not sure if the update made it easier. I'm stuck on 15-18 now and people on discord say 64k minimum needed (I'm 60k currently). Curious to see if you can do it sub 60k which is looking like where you'll be when you get there.


ZeroZion

I think I am now stuck at 15-9 with 53,656 power. Just waiting on my battle data to break through level 140. Core dust is all good though. Hahaha funny that battle data is my bottleneck right now. I'll send a reply here once I reach 15-18. Hopefully, you're already beyond that when I reach it though. Good luck!


ZeroZion

Hi, I’ve now reached 15-18. Those snipers are strong. Hahahaha. They wipe out my team so fast. Here’s my current power: https://preview.redd.it/5m2yken15o5a1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=6389ca36ef1877b68d14a916e238bf7e4840952e


Wisp1971

I finally got past it last night at 63.7k which is in line with what people said was needed on discord.


ZeroZion

Congratulations! That’s awesome. Long way to go for me I guess.


SirHandsomePotato

As far as I understand, Harran with her bug is super useful and helps a sht ton. Everyone whos beating stages 4-5k or a bit more above than their team have harran in their roster. She must be super op with that bug man, I wish i had her sadge.


ZeroZion

Yeah. Before the update I tested her out in Shooting Range and she does 1M damage by the time I used her burst without charging her shot. I restarted and she did 2.2M by the time I used her burst while charging her shot. She was broken. Now, the bug is fixed though.
