I need to spec into Razor cause I got him after I already had a decent line up and I’m finding it hard switching to him. Find him slow (it’s the nature of the claymore). What are the best artifacts sets for him?

mon the other hand, Jean is starting to grow on me

Anything that ups attack, really. Berzerker, Martial arts, Gladiator. Also, he's one of the only ones in the game that can naturally speed up his attack speed. It's only during his Ultimate, but with how he works, he can build that up almost instantly.

Also Bloodstained Chivalry:

And if you're trying to maximize your elemental reaction damage there's this set I got last night:

I don’t think there’s an optimal team as most characters are viable. For Spiral, you can check the types of enemies you’ll face on each floor and chamber, so your team has to compliment each other in terms of elements (to proc elemental reactions) as well as be the elements that enemies are weak to. At floor 5 you’ll be required to have two teams of 4 to proceed. Not all your characters need to be fully levelled up, but you need to make sure your DPS characters can carry the rest, and that the rest are useful in terms of healing or their supers and elemental reactions.

For example on floor 6, the first team will face mostly Cryo/Ice enemies so it would make sense for you to have Pyro/Fire and Electro characters in your team. The second team will face mostly Pyro/Fire enemies so you’d go with Hydro/Water and Electro or Anemo/Wind (I think anemo procs “swirl” elemental reaction against fire). Use this concept as the basis for how you set up your teams for Spiral, and take into account how your characters elements and abilities support each other.

I think I saw you mention Amber, I personally wouldn’t invest much into ranking up Amber. Combat wise I don’t think she’s good enough, at the very least there are better options to carry or help carry your squad. Amber really only sees use for me for puzzle solving. And looking at character tier lists across the Internet, both Chinese and English ones have Amber ranked as the lowest character in the game. But obviously if you enjoy playing with her go ahead, most characters are viable to some extent.

Anemo causes swirl against ever element reaction, fool, lol. Cept maybe Geo, since it's also neutral like Anemo is.

Amber's easier to build up to a degree tho since she's a story character that also has a starglitter purchase option for an easy constellation.

I think Amber is trash. Waste of resources.

Ult is weak, her aggro pulling elemental ability is :mjlol: She’s just not for me

I did the Wolf boss and got a 5 star Gladiator piece with ATK as the major stat. I have like 1200 primo gems and a couple wishes left. I’m thinking of converting the primo into wishes and trying my luck at the slots today but I don’t like the current banner. I have all of them characters except Klee and I’m not sold on her despite she being one of the best DPS in the game.

I’m thinking about trying the non event banner cause that’s where I got Jean from. I’d also be happy with another The Flute sword to reach higher refinement :lupe: Decisions, decisions

:dwillhuh:I seriously don't know why folks spending shyt load of money when you can technically get the most by just playing the game, or just getting the monthly pass. 3 hours in, I got like close to 8 to 10 characters, 3 to 4 star weapons, and a shyt load of currency :banderas:.

4.99 and some free time>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>spending your bank account and taking out loans because gatcha :camby:

Some people are dumb or have a surplus of money. Problem is, when a character(s) come out that a f2p cat really wants they either need to save for months or get lucky. Its inherently a trash model but generally games get more generous over time but IDK with this one because the whales are especially spending with this

The only Gatcha portion to be honest is bulking up the characters, but seriously this is the most open armed F2P game since PSO2. Like why would you even be a whale in a game that's not even heavy on the multiplayer :mindblown:. This is not like Warframe where farming and spending is a must, it's just a cheap BOTW clone that's catching attention due to how polish the game is for being a F2P title. Yet, it's going to be a shytshow in the long run due to this addictive type of behavior:aicmon:
