Probably one of the Hardest Stygian Onslaught. What about you?

I am a simple man I see hard SO I do menacing I happy I see easy SO I try Fearless I happy😇😇
DekuSenpai-WL82026-01-24 15:52
Thanks. I'm happy for you also.
Fast-Ad-24152026-01-24 15:44
this SO is only hard, if you don't own the right characters to make it piss easy, which are optimally build... because if you own the right perfectly build characters, its super easy to the point, which you show even yourself with this picture, that you can solo these enemies... and if you would't stupidly limit yourself with "Solos" just for your Ego Stroking , your time with that crab boss would have been even significantly faster, if you would have added a second Hydro Character at least minimum for the hydro resonance and thus 25% more HP for Neuvilette to deal alot more Damage per hit, plus some other helpful Characters for more wheelchair DPS, like Yae Miko, Lauma, Albedo, Fischl, Flins just to make Yae/Fischl deal Lunar Charges, if you happen to have those characters naturally.. or simply a Barbara, just to make your Neuvilette more self sustainable and less reliant on his blue balls (pun intended) to survive...
But everyone who has the shilled optimal Characters and has them build optimally as at least C0R1, has it always alot easier in SO, because of the right Characters/Combat mechanics hard countering the enemies, so that you don't waste alot of tiem with them, unless you can brute force the battles with massively overpowered DPS characters, like Mavuika and Skirk, which is here the reason, why you were able to do the first Boss, just because you had Mavuika, so you didn't need to use any Lunar Reaction Characters, like Flins, Columbina or the yet not existing Zibai, for which this boss is designed for, because Mavuika with your Triple DPS Support from Xilonen, Kazuha and Furina (which should have been optimally Citlali at best instead) just brute forced it for you with her insane Burst Skill likely in 1 to 2 strikes
DekuSenpai-WL82026-01-24 15:58
True. But bruteforce was also hard.
Fast-Ad-24152026-01-24 16:47
yeah, a bit of understanding the battle is naturally helpful too, if you basically do the dog, without knowing, what the dog can do all, and how to counter it, then the battle naturally becomes for an unprepared team significantly harder, than neccessary, because at the harder difficulties, it has so much health, that it can peform successfully its true mechanics aside of its simple tail, teleport and swipe attacks, because then comes his Shadow Shield and Summons into play, where you have to decide yourself, do I focus myself now fully into the summoned minions and kill them off ASAP, or do I focus myself onto the Shield of the boss, which leads to the Boss losing alot of Health, if you can successfully break its Shield, before the boss is done with charging up his follow up attack, that will hurt alot, if you don't stop it by breaking its Shadow Shield, or all of its summoned minions first.
Anybody with a fitting Lunar Reaction Team has there naturally a big advantage then against the Shadow Shield (as Lunar Reactions are very effective against it), that can be otherwise overcome only by absurd Burst DMG from Mavuika/Skirk, because the Shield isn't hit based, but total damage based. So as long you are able to dish out fast enough big damage, you should focus on attacking the Boss to destroy its Shield and waste not any time with the minions

Without the dog, it would be one of the friendliest Stygian ever. The other 2 bosses are even on Dire C0R0 actually doable. You don't even need Columbina for the middle boss. Just Flins+Ineffa C0R0 can do it.
In terms of viable teams, it's pretty bad with the shilling. But that's nothing new for Stygian. Just gotta hope for more cooler enemies like the plunge boss.
babangelsin2026-01-24 16:11
Did you kill the crab without using Neuvillette, Mualani or Skirk?
YH_Kuro2026-01-24 16:19
Obviously not. I used Neuvi, Furina, Kazuha and Xilonen all C0R0.
As I said, in terms of viable amount of teams, it's pretty bad. But the fact that the premium teams at C0R0 can reasonably clear Dire, makes me really happy. It would be even better if more than just the premium teams can clear Dire C0R0, but it's Dire. What can we expect?
For Fearless level clears, it clearly sucks, but that's not what I was writing about.
I have seen a C0R0 dog clear, but didn't seem at a level I consider reasonable to me.
babangelsin2026-01-24 17:09
Well I am sorry to report that "without the dog" it doesn't become the friendliest Stygian because Crab exists.
YH_Kuro2026-01-24 17:16
That's probably true. Should've used a different word now that I think about it.
For me, a friendly Stygian is anything that can be cleared Dire with C0R0 teams, even if it's only the premium teams. That's obviously different from what you usually consider a friendly Stygian.
Limited team options and shilling is something I've already given up on in Stygian. It's Stygian after all.
PrestigiousIdea74712026-01-24 17:29
I used Noelle, Furina, Yelan, Xilonen. So yes?
babangelsin2026-01-24 17:35
Constellations on Furina and Yelan?
PrestigiousIdea74712026-01-24 17:37
C2R0 on both.
babangelsin2026-01-24 17:41
Ah OK, then I cleared the faceless dog with Navia Klee Bennett Xilonen
Not missing the point at all are we
PrestigiousIdea74712026-01-24 17:47
I mean, it's not like I can disable constellations that I own. Had plenty of extra time on the clock though, so I'm sure that zero con clears are definitely viable with some practice.
babangelsin2026-01-24 18:11
They aren't viable.
The crabs transfer the hydro damage they take to the main crab. That is what kills the boss in this setup. Noelle, even in the most busted build, doesn't have anything close to the single target damage required to deal enough DPS to the boss crab in its short vulnerability phase.
Ecchify2026-01-24 16:45
nah even then it'd be bad
that said it's very hard to have an objectively easy stygian. it kinda requires the herra (i'd say that's a rare boss people liked) and one easy cheese boss (maybe the bird from last SO?) and whatever else is less restrictive (maybe plunge boss from last SO too?) idk
BoughKeeper2026-01-24 16:56
>~~Just Flins+Ineffa C0R0 can do it.~~
Just Jean
YH_Kuro2026-01-24 17:02
Fair point. From what I've seen, it looked like a "I want to delete myself from Irminsul" Jean clear difficulty, so I didn't include it.
BoughKeeper2026-01-24 17:03
true, its vastly harder to pull it off for him than the previous two(i did the last 2 easily)
Chtholly132026-01-24 16:42
2nd boss always gives me trouble despite having the characters supposedly to clear (overload teams). Just not quick enough to take out the shield fast enough with them. I still cleared but it's the boss that annoys me the most. Nefer/Neuvillete took out the other 2 quick enough.
Ricksaw262026-01-24 16:52
Did menacing, call it a day. I could maybe do fearless, but i don't want to break my head on it.
PidoveEnjoyer2026-01-24 16:54
Dog is the shilliest shill to ever shill.
Weirdly enough, I remember being able to brute force the second boss with Skirk the first time it came around. This time I couldn’t even tickle the shield. I wonder if it was bugged or got reworked?
Vakhoris2026-01-24 17:10
It felt like it would regenerate much faster.
ApplePieLife2026-01-31 00:49
Yeah, I was able to do fearless Skirk last time but this time my dmg is not even tickling the shield.. zzzz
irllyshouldsleep2026-01-24 17:08
Easiest one for me as a Neuvi and Flins main. They shilled my best characters that I use every SO.
DI3S_IRAE2026-01-24 17:17
I have a team of Nefer, Columbina, Lauma and Barbara/Sucrose/Fischl and the 1st boss was very difficult, and I do Menacing, not fearless.
So even the right team can't breeze it in any way.
I could optimize builds by adding a favonius in there, so I can burst earlier. But Columbina with 209 ER can't get her burst ready soon.
And damage is overall low. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with Columbina, to be honest.
She's on Silken Moon, Lauma on DM, Nefer on the lunar dps set.
Barbara when I use her, is on TToDS and SoDP, Sucrose Sac or Fav and VV, and Fischl is on stringless and GT.
ApprehensiveSell6022026-01-24 17:46
I also blame the players. During Nightsoul Descent. bro, just use the Traveler if you don’t have a Natlan character. Switch to Traveler. Now it’s niche and the dps drops. The boss is literally a dps check, and already has its own niche mechanics.
Fountain niche? Sorry, I don’t remember. It’s niche barely matters
