Why does GDoll call the keeper puppy when they've hissed twice and never barked? Is she stupid?

Which D-Zone should I be taking Lemurians to? I tried D-Zone 3 Alert 2 and wiped but am able to do Alert 1 and I'm wondering if I should be taking them to a different battle that's more suited to them.Honestly I feel like Goliath and Faros don't even do anything for me and it's all on Tulu and Miryam, I wish it showed me a nice damage breakdown
>>
>>556110242
when people here say Lemurians theyre generally assuming GMurphy is involved because she gives by far the strongest and most build-enabling bonus. point being I don't have any sense of what should be expected of the other four without her.
>>
>>
>>
>>556112432
At Alert 2, Goliath can still do decent damage. Spend a few turns pumping up tentacle damages > Red tentacle > Goliath Exalt, right option

When you want to use her, which could be now, the next year, or never. In my opinion just unlock her now so you have her to play around with.

>>556112669
Whenever you're comfortable with your standard awakener roster and wheels. Her kit is a bit harder to use than regular Ramona, and I'm pretty sure they count as one awakener for D-tide, so there's no rush unless you really like her.

She is hard to play. Hope that helps. Jokes aside. Make sure to give her last hit as often as possible. She benefits from exploration stages and killing normal enemies. ALWAYS make sure she can last hit. Main thing is her Thousand Mirrages exalt that allows you to create your cards and orison them. You use her cards as sorta setup/nuke. And you need decent STR stacker and dupes for her to go online. That's honestly about it. Have someone who can ramp STR + make sure she kills enemies for her reaver damage. It's mostly about timing.

It's 99% likely Cthulhu yeah but we can't be certain at this point becausethe "god" Tulu was connected to disappeared or stopped responding for whatever unknown reason towards the end of Lemuria.
I guess we'll know in November when GTulu's chapter releases.
>>
>>556120373
as someone who owns everyone around the E3 level Daffodil is the most useless limited awakener even more so than Wanda. the way her exalt works is you have to build around it very hard with strength scaling which just isn't worth doing before OE because it won't do enough, and her command cards are really bad in general. i'm not saying this to be mean but just so you understand the challenge of trying to find an appropriate place to slot in a
>>
>>556121675
No, I am talking about that one document from the fanbase about Awakeners and their inspirations. Tulu is Ctlulhu but also something else, a short story about a guy who is dreaming that he is something deep under the sea and needs to wake up.
>>
>>556123458
>>556120373
And as a daff main ill say that you dont "find" a spot for any carry, you make it
And i played her a lot before i got her OE and can say that she works perfectly well but you have to play around her and her strenghts, her OE is not even great unless you're poison stacking
Obviously she's not for every type of player but definitely not useless if you like her

Remind me again why I shouldn't stick my dick in this cute bug
>>
So for D-Zone 1, I should take a Defense/Counter team. Thinking Alva/Ogier/Tinct/Nautila. Zone 5 wants Poison so probably Xu/Thais and two mystery slots. Probably Salvador and Agrippa?
and I have no idea what Zones 2 and 4 want from me. I'm quite weak so one of those I should probably sweep with a borrowed Kathigu-Ra right? Making teams for this mode sucks when you're still missing like half the cast.

>>556143819
W2 relic help with STR, but the main thing you need to know about the Jenkins boss is that she'll hit you harder if you hit her during her burst turns, so don't do that.
W4 specifically wants a team that can survive without exalting every turn, or you could just one-shot the boss with Mouchette.
W5 wants a team that doesn't play a lot of cards per turn.

>>556150597
with Daffodil you ideally set up two 0 cost poison cards in ultra space, then on the ultra round use them with another poison card you exalt and huge str stacking to ideally inflict tens of thousands of poison in one turn. This requires a huge # of things to go right and requires tons of messing around setting up for boss fights. Theres a stupid take people like to repeat over and over that ultra is le difficult to play and its generally not, outside of Daffodil who requires this nonsense to be functional as a character (and Wanda for reasons unrelated to the ultra mechanic).
Ofc you can also just roll Daffodil OE and ignore the ultra space nonsense because the 75% scaling on the ultra round in mixed teams means you want to use your cards outside of ultra round anyways.

W2 and W5 is particularly brutal (compared to last two rotations, but only W5 is "hard" by the usual dtide standards imo), but you should be able to beat one alert 5 with a borrowed Mouchette, she destroys everything.
>>
>>556166107
I could maybe get 5 more points if I'm able to alert5 wave 1 with a borrowed mouchette, I just have no teammates for her after Dorestink took Thais, Kath took Tinct, my own Mouchette took Helot+Aegis, and the bird boys needed Faint to A4W5. I also kind of hate all the pre-boss fights with mouchette NGL.
I'd have a similar point outcome if I was able to get discard (corpoE3 murphyE1 auritaE3 casiah E0) into a state where it could W1A4 but man that team feels absolutely hopeless.

its 3 str per insight on a very leveled daff in arc2. it was released in a comically broken state (it would be 40 str per insight) and brought down so hard that it could never be a real problem again.
>>
>>556170336
I could try that, could W1A4 with Xu and W4A4 with GMurphy (who both cleared W3A4) and it would be +5 points overall. Though lemurians vs madness bug could suck... we'll see might have to move other stuff as well.

The bosses present an interesting challenge, its the cancer of the normal fights in W1 W2 W5 that filter me the hardest. This is the reason I dont regret my mediocre E3 pollux, he makes normal fights feel good.

>>556173430
Yeah Kath and especially Lemurians are relaxing. Mouchette still stresses me tho, because even if you have energy for T1 exalt you cant do anything with it if you dont have a bunch of mouche in hand. Grace Through Pain helps but I play Lily so mouche cant have it.
I dont find Xu that great vs alert4+ tier mobs, mine isnt turn 1 killing anything and str down only does so much. She's an improvement but its still pretty painful.

Why not nerf the trash mobs? I just don't get it, I want to have fun, but I can't get to where the fun is, why make garbage trash mobs so fucking hard.
No wonder the whales I added when I first started in January, are all gone, even money can't help you if you don't do everything perfectly (talking about dtide story was okay).
I hope they change course soon if they want more player retention, guess I will be cucked out of A5 for a long time.
>>
>>556174635
Throw Aigis with some madness omen, Tulu's wheels, and Gdoll's SR wheel on any team that you want the have an easier time with normal fights. It's stupid and I love it.
I guess for Xu it was more of making poison team having an easier time in mobs (gdoll lol). I usually spend like five turns on the first fight then cruise through everything with Gdoll Xu Lily Nymphaea.
My most important tip for anyone trying for A5 would be to spend a turn or two durdle a bit before ending each fights.
>>
>>556179325
because when they make the game easier, certain people start complaining
and to be fair a5 isn't for everyone, there should be some kind of super hard mode for whales to play with their toys and that's fine
>>
>>556180841
>>556179325
I haven't experienced it yet but if I get stronger in time, I also expect the game to get harder so that I can keep having fun. I know it is autistic but I prefer it over how modern arknights or other gachas are for example.
>>
>>556180841
>certain people start complaining
Gatekeeping your game for less revenue is fine with me, I was just going through my friend list yesterday, and after a month of play I saw some whales I added on early 5 of them left, they have 1 to 2 month of play time. That's when I realized that they were not having fun, and I asked myself do I have fun, the answer was yes, but I understood their mindset as to why they would leave even after spending so much.
>>
>>
>>556180841
yes I'm at 385 after 68 days just on alert4s. yeah I swiped a lot but I really shouldnt be able to 400 yet, I dont own any limited or standard OEs I have years of optimization/improvement ahead and I'm glad there's still something pushing me forward for a long time.
>>
>>
>>556181174
Whales have money where their souls should be. They buy out and max an entire character roster in a gacha over the course of a few months, get bored at the gameplay being "too easy," and move on to a different gacha they haven't bought out yet. People like them are the reason we have so much gacha slop these days.
I like to imagine there's some alternate timeline where Morimens is an incredible single-player game without any gacha involved.
>>
>>556186952
>I like to imagine there's some alternate timeline where Morimens is an incredible single-player game without any gacha involved
Is that not just this timeline when Morimens inevitably goes EoS? I remember reading that the dev team would make an offline version when that happens.
>>
>>
>>556187432
>Maybe, but that would also mean they'd have to rush the ending of the current arc (again) and leave lots of things unexplored.
If you mean current arc as in "whatever arc the game is on when EoS hits" then yeah that's a good point, I dunno of any gacha game with a plot that actually ended the story as intended and then went EoS soon afterwards.

You can google translate JP Thais kit below
https://gamerch.com/morimens/954364
She's definitely nerfed (like most things in JP), but she still has mostly the same kit.
>>
>>556220410
her hand size wheel being aliemus regen instead of keyflare regen seems like a pretty big nerf though that isn't really a nerf to her
getting the -1 cost from devour instead baseline and not getting an additional -1 from e2 seems like a huge nerf, she doesnt really seem worth investing in past e0 in jp
>>
>>
>>
>>556223528
on global, e3 passively increases embryo generation which is relevant for longer fights and oe shits out babies/constantly upgrades to superbabies
on jp basically every single one of her upgrades tries to make her some sort of dps despite her not having any damaging skills

Hameln and whorela, on global at least. I don't think anyone plays JP here.
>>556227192
Gmurphy is great from the get go. She just gets even better. It's basically an A+ character going to S+.
>>
>>
>>
>>556227556
Word of advice on horla, stop at e1. e2 is arguably the only dupe that is detrimental. Giving all her cards retain might sound good but you'd rather not have them clog your hand. Happy stance already lets you keep them around anyway since it gives everything retain. As far as hameln goes, he is a pretty general support. Free insight cards+ STR is nice is basically any team. Discounted or doubled cards from his rouse is nice in any team. And a doubled cast from his exalt is nice in any team. Like you won't always take him but he is pretty much never bad.

Why is retain considered good on everyone except for Horla E2?
>>
>>556239153
The only "problem" with Horla e2 is her 2 cost; the card is expensive for the cost and tends to get stuck in your hand eating up your handsize. All of her other cards are great to stay in your hand. If you can sell that card, the problem goes away.
For Karen, I think Flares is viewing from the perspective of her playability with Tawil teams, which tend to focus on deck cycling, so it's a plus.
>>
>>556239153
Part of the reason is that a lot of horla's best teammates want to fill the hand with their own cards. And you can't do that if horla is eating up all your handspace. In karen's case you gotta keep in mind it's only two of her cards that eat hand space and a lot of her best teammates aren't just letting all their cards sit in your hand until a burst turn. Karen is also like that from the get go, if you are playing a comp that ends up too tight on handspace you just wouldn't bring her to begin with. Meanwhile you COULD bring e0-e1 horla but might struggle to fit e2.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>556228229
i don't buy this. E2 lets you actually use horla's mechanic and switch psalms on turns you want to with a guarantee you can go back into another psalm the next turn. you can use red much more often with kath. I recently went from E1 to E2 and it's really good. without it you constantly draw into happy psalm with draw cards and miss the transition otherwise.
>>
>>556244617
It's comp dependent, which is why it's "arguably" worse. Kath doesn't care about it, Castor/Pollux does, and Ghelot does to some extent. Mainly, those who regularly hit the hand size limit will care about it.
>>
>>556245185
i've had fewer hand issues with E2 because I'm allowed to leave joy. you will constantly feather into psalms with castor which is a big nuisance without E2. If there are actual players who regret activating E2 fine they've seen both sides of it I guess they're entitled to their opinion.
>>
>>556246026
I think the biggest issue is that if you activate it and realize it fucks something you play you can't unactivate it. Why games don't include toggles for these things if only to let people test out weaker builds I'll never understand. I've played plenty of gacha where a skill ends up messing up certain things.Zhuge's stun.....

if you have a way to guarantee her strikes in your hand (helot devour, ch 7 gimmick, etc) the +3 arithmetica is better but technically its draw 2 almost always good cards and gain 2 arithmetica so i prefer it on mouchette teams
some are designed for explicit use with their awakener (doresain, xu, pickman, kath) explicitly do bonus effects if you have them on your team and are worse than normal posses without them
especially relevant if you are doing dzone because you cant use the same posse in multiple teams

What are Doresain's issues and how bricked am I without a Lily for poison?
>>
>>556271726
>Doresain's issues
He scales with enemy missing hp so against a boss with 2 million hp it takes him a really long time before he can start dealing meaningful damage. Also generates 0 cost cards when last hitting enemies which becomes progressively harder when even trash mobs on alert 5 can have 30-50k hp. His signature also has scaling from last hits so the same issue there. He's basically a win more character.
>without a Lily for poison
You can play poison without her just fine.
>>
>>556271726
>What are Doresain's issues
His cards will prioritize enemy with least HP. Which means his targeting is actually quite fucked during some fights. Also he can't generate corpses fast enough if there is no adds to kill and no adds means no special card to play. This things affect his damage. He is ok otherwise. Well you still need to cover for his STR needs and someone who can punch the boss a bit. Or you meant plot?
>how bricked am I without a Lily for poison
Lily is stat stick and her poison is irrelevant for the most part. Poison teams do struggle with survivability. But any other tank will do.
>>
>>556271726
Doresain just doesn't damage enough, and has almost no tools to help you drag out a fight (which you'll need to do because his damage is low). it doesn't help that april praise is a bad fit for his kit and crimson pulse is so mediocre by comparison and he has no other choices.
>>
>>
>>556271726
> how bricked am I without a Lily for poison?
You can play Ultra Xu, I think Chaos is way better but Lily (and Gdoll) is the reason to play Chaos
>>556273462
> her poison is irrelevant for the most part. Poison teams do struggle with survivability
Lily with Xu is how you steamroll A5 mobs with a poison comp. She tanks everything and does just enough AoE poison for mobbing. She can also do significant damage against multihit enemies.
>>
>>
>>
>>556281372
E1 should be fine on A4, but she will be a lot less consistent without her WoD + Alva's WoD combo.
Do note that Lily is a shielder, and just like all shielders, she scales extremely hard with stats, so soulforge and levels matter a lot. Specifically for Lily, you'll also need a Feast from Afar covenant with a lot of death resist (my set is 90%).
Yeah, high investment, I know.
>>556281768
E3, you'll barely get any Dreamlure stack without E3
>>
>>
>>556282480
It's the first thing you buy from that shop; ALWAYS buy it.
Passive effects aside, the difference in total stats between Soulforge level 0 and level 10 is 30%, the same as the difference between level 60 and 90.

>>556281768
>>556282317
Doesn't she stack the counter buff?
>>
>>556281768
I find Caecus to be the most fun counter character. There's just something incredibly satisfying about copying (or multicasting) his 3 cost and watching the extra counter numbers and tentacle counters from exalt delete the health bar of the enemy.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>556292048

counter stealing will always be niche because enemies will never have an amount of counter high enough to threaten themselves with and pandia just doesnt generate enough permanent counter on her own

So I can't do it before OE? I am currently missing Clem and decided to try it out on a weaker farm stage. Daffo/Xu/Thais/Horla. I am still missing covenants and my Xu is only E0 but I feel like she does more than Daffo who is E2.

And it's honestly rough without at least E3 Xu bc as I said it's a dps Xu comp, whereas she's fine at E0 for supp
You want to stack 10 spellbound fast and pop it on Clem's exalt
Without OE daff you wont get to do 5 poisons in 1 turn (3 normal + 2 on ultra) but you can do 1 + 2
I imagine it still can work but you'll need one more exalt rotation
