No cons run [SO]

Do you think the Stygian Onslaught this time is a bit easier than the previous ones?

You know I'm no where near this, but like why did your neuvi hit more in a single strike than your arlecchino?

Crafty-Zucchini-57292026-01-21 09:13

Vapes from the crab

Inside_Fun31412026-01-21 09:18

Oh yeah that makes sense lol

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 09:14

Vapes hit harder than overload.

Fool_an2026-01-21 09:09

Definitely not. Last the bat was a joke with cheese strat. This one, without neuv the crab is pretty much unbeatable. It might be doable with Skirk or Mualani, but it's still not easy

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 09:17

Ofcourse I'm talking about the difficulty without the boss gimmick cheese exploits involve and if you fight it the natural way.

I agree with the crab though. Neuv really makes it look and feel so easy.

Prestigious-Tree71172026-01-21 10:01

I beat it once with a freeze Mualani team (mua furi esco cit). But I can't replicate it again 😂

SecretSpectre112026-01-21 09:33

Did you have any signature weapons?

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 09:34

yes, on 3 of the main dps.

Maydup_Nem2026-01-21 09:41

Whats your rotation of the Mavuika team? I have trouble melting her ult in her BiS team let alone yours 🥲

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 10:05

Just 3\[CDCF\]. You dont have to worry about the timing since most of the entire rotation, the boss have hydro and electro aura because of Lunar Charge.

melinerunen2026-01-21 14:24

This and go practice on the miliastra stage so you can see how many melts did you missed or not

QuantumPie_2026-01-22 01:57

Whats your rotation from start until killing first round of chickens? I'm not coming close but tbh I've never liked playing Mauvika so I'm probably doing it wrong.

EDIT: Just realized you could go directly for boss instead of chickens

SpinachHumble2026-01-22 03:44

I think you should only go for the chickens if you don't have a nod krai character. Otherwise, just brute force the boss directly.

dhambz232026-01-21 09:44

Does C6 Chevy contributes to breaking the shield because I can't break the shield fast enough.

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 09:57

Durin is the one that helps break the shield so on the very first rotation you need to funnel your energy particles from Arle E to Durin, then Durin E to himself, and Chev E to Durin. Once his burst is up, Fischl E, then Arlecchino CA NA spam til it breaks.

dhambz232026-01-21 10:30

I misplayed my rotation. I didn't read any of Chevs cons and mine is currently at C2. Thanks for sharing.

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 10:32

NP, glad I could help.

RicePirate912026-01-21 15:04

I can't even break shield period with this team. Wondering if my skill is completely chopped atp.

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 21:55

try the rotation I mentioned earlier

babangelsin2026-01-21 09:47

Fearless never really needed cons when you have the square shaped block to fit the square shaped hole

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 10:01

I never implied that we need it. The image I posted is to show the clearing time speed of no cons for each bosses which goes back to my question about this season being easier than the previous ones.

babangelsin2026-01-21 10:09

Well they kinda go hand in hand. The faceless dog for example is the highest effective HP boss we had so far and it will be impossible with C0 to clear it unless you incorporate lunar reactions. Or employ some AoE comp to deal with the smaller dogs instead.

Particular_Web32152026-01-21 10:11

Do you think skirk could clear the crab, with XQ as the fourth slot? I don't have neuv?

Eeekpenguin2026-01-21 23:12

Skirk double hydro clears crab easy

StanTheWoz2026-01-22 02:53

This has not been my experience haha...I'm sure it's possible but it's been hell for me trying to get it

Plane-Worldliness7962026-01-22 12:51

Without sig on skirk easy is an overstatement but possible

Omniholic-2026-01-21 10:18

The dps being in 3rd slot got me all kinds of fucked up

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 10:29

I find the the number 3 on keyboard my comfort and easiest for my fingers to press xD

Appropriate_Gate11292026-01-21 11:12

Mine is 2, tho my friend tries to teach me to put characters in rotation order 🤭

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 11:19

I prefer assigning characters based their roles than rotation order. Usually, the roles for my slots that my muscle memory is used to is something like this:

3 for main dps
2 for healer/shielder
1 for support
4 for sub dps

Eeekpenguin2026-01-21 23:15

What, I've been doing DPS 3 for years. 3 is right above w whereas 1 is between tab and q. I've seen others do it too.

crescentpieris2026-01-21 10:38

how fast is that on lower difficulties?

AncientAd49962026-01-21 11:30

Everything but the abyss cat & his chickens were rather easy this round, to where I've had to neuter my other teams just to deal with it

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 11:32

Yeah, that first boss is really quite a hassle. I wonder how will players without nod krai units deal with it.

AncientAd49962026-01-21 11:39

I've heard that the chickens he spawns have normal resistance & can be dealt with without Lunar reactions. Killing them all will result in the same weakened state and HP loss for the main boss if you had just depleted its Lunar shield, but they require grouping so you need a team that accommodates that. which I didn't.

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 11:42

I actually tried grouping it with Kazuha then have Mavuika do Burst on it and it didn't do much. It's quite tanky AF xD. Maybe I missed the melt.

AncientAd49962026-01-21 11:43

I think Sucrose works better in reaction teams than Kazuha, who specializes in Mono teams

Impossible-Ice1292026-01-21 12:10

Just no cons or no sigs as well?

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 12:24

with signature weapon.

Expensive_Grocery8762026-01-21 12:22

Xilonen/Ineffa/Mavuika/Columbina

"I've got no nod-krai dps but must do lunar reaction challenge" aaah team

Pancham_No6742026-01-21 12:59

Hi! I honestly gave up on menacing mode, but seeing this makes me wanna give it another try. May I ask for the 2nd team's weapon and artifact set please?

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 13:07

C6-Limited Event Spear Chev Nobless, C0R1 Durin Emblem, C0R1 Arle Whimsy, C6 Skyward Harp Fischl GT.

Pancham_No6742026-01-21 14:58

Thank you so much!! You're a great help🫶🏼

MachinegunFireDodger2026-01-21 14:03

I've been throwing myself at it for hours with no success but by some miracle i have all of those characters. imma try it out and post results.

Edit: Nope, fuck that, I dont even deal enough damage to her through the fatui guy's shield.

SpinachHumble2026-01-21 14:16

Let me share to you the rotation:

Durin is the one that helps break the shield so on the very first rotation you need to funnel your energy particles from Arle E to Durin, then Durin E to himself, and Chev E to Durin. Once his burst is up, Fischl E, then Arlecchino CA NA spam til it breaks.

MachinegunFireDodger2026-01-21 14:46

Alright, i managed after putting literally everyone but Arle on Fav weapons. Absolutely bananas. Thanks mate.

chxmak2026-01-21 17:02

can you show me your Arle run ? That score is very impressive.

Vezko2026-01-21 17:18

It's easier for people who pulled the right characters and harder for those who didn't.

StanTheWoz2026-01-22 02:52

Quite the opposite, this is the first time I remember having any trouble at all clearing fearless (crab; I don't have Neuvillette)

SpinachHumble2026-01-22 03:45

I see. Neuvillette with Furina really makes the crab feel so easy. Did you try with Skirk?

StanTheWoz2026-01-22 04:43

Yes, that's more or less my only team even close to capable of doing it. I was just barely able to get it a minute ago after probably 20 attempts. I cannot explain or replicate it. Too much weird RNG with the small crabs. Most of the dire clears I've been able to get have been easier and more straightforward. I truly hate this boss

sheorderfishfillet2026-01-25 14:14

Did the shock trooper's second shield phase come up for you or did you stagger him to skip it?

SpinachHumble2026-01-25 14:29

with Durin's Burst + Fischl & Arlecchino NA spam, you can easily break it.
