I cleared Stygian Fearless as F2P!

For the first time 🥹🥹

All c0 5 stars! Only Furina and Flins have their signature weapon.

The ineffa quickswap team was the hardest rotation

Wow! Mad impressive for me OP! Also Ineffa basically acting as Main DPS on the 2nd team. She's just crazy strong.

Fynelepy2026-01-27 00:19

ineffa’s the goat fr 😝🙏

She's indeed stupidly strong but also extremely shilled, I was struggling with clearing it, I had cleared it with furina + varesa but had to change furina for skirk clear in 3rd boss, couldn't get ANYWHERE close without furina, I got Ineffa early after losing 50/50 at the start of the patch, got her to lv70 and cleared it at the first try like it was nothing

kudos to you. that said, stage 3 could be easier with a aero character to break the shield of the smaller crabs.

Mande1baum2026-01-27 00:40

In Fearless breaking the smaller crab shields is not the priority, stacking damage on them is. So stacking -res auras on them to amplify the free vapes is a LOT of damage. Each crab deals 60% of Hydro you dealt to them to boss, x3 crabs, x2 for vape = 360% DPS when they are up compared to just attacking boss. You can't take advantage of them when they aren't there either because you are breaking the shields too quickly or because the boss is down. And it's really hard to swirl Hydro on them (have to swirl boss onto small crabs and boss often has Cryo aura instead with Citlali or Escoffier) and you'd have to do that for every wave of small crabs. All of that equals less DPS uptime and less DPS. And Neuvilette will break their shields and get 3-4 down phases on boss just naturally. Def can use Swirl, but it's a very different team and maybe higher skill ceiling.

I have it cleared under 70 seconds in fearless (i think it was 68 second or so), with Kazuha.

I think people often forget the fastest way to break shield is aero swirl. even not considering the small crabs, you would still be better off with aero to break the sheild of the large crab. you could actually beat the 2nd stage in fearless with just 4 star characters (XQ, Sucr, Fischl and Ororon) preciously due to swirl effects.

Mande1baum2026-01-27 00:58

Sure, and people have beaten Fearless with C1R1 solo Nuevilette.

Did you use Citlali or Escoffier on the team? Cause don't they mess up the hydro aura making it hard to get VV Shred? Or did you use an Electro instead since you can have both auras up making swirl easier?

Ezzaroth_VII2026-01-27 12:11

wtf even is aero bro, you're playing a different game

Electrical_Set_44602026-01-27 01:12

One dayyy

Technical_Plum_34722026-01-27 01:37

Thanks for the ideas

random117142026-01-27 01:40

Nicely done. I'm a dolphin but struggled because I'm missing a lot of meta units. No flins, durin, ineffa, neuv, escoffier, or furina. Was my first time clearing fearless.

Mac----2026-01-27 02:59

Nice OP! F2P here too, been playing for a little over a year and still haven’t cleared fearless.

Well done!

temptillbday2026-01-27 06:53

Hmm, it seems I can somehow replicate this for the 2nd boss. I even have a lvl 70 Aino 😭😭😭

I'll have a problem with the other two since I don't have Flins or Escoff. I can only hope can eek out something with Navia...

KnightOfBoreas2026-01-27 09:06

Congrats buddy! I'm yet to clear Fearless for my account. Not able to clear that damn crab without Neuvillete lol
I've only been clearing Menacing in last 3 Stygian Onslaught.

StandardCaptain2026-01-27 09:12

Neuvilette without c1 with only cryo and hydro on the team was something else

MarauderShieldxD2026-01-27 09:16

Rotation for second team?

jiaqian1312026-01-27 10:12

can I get ur uid to check ur builds out? thanks

Fynelepy2026-01-27 17:07

Yeah sure! My UID is 676126495

nexxlevelgames2026-01-27 13:31

Congrats!!!!

Awesum work.

I wish i could be like u

EntertainmentIll15672026-01-27 15:12

> Columbina Flins Ineffa Durin Escoffier Citlali

Yea... f2p... sure.

> Lvl 70 aino.

Aight my bad. That's f2p behavior. Sorry for doubting you king

clown_20612026-01-27 16:53

All i needed was one ineffa.

Fast_Plantain80982026-01-27 20:17

Nice. I F2Ped it last time too, but without a lunar team this patch is quite the hurdle. I will settle for the Menacing reward.

NeitherAd72812026-01-27 21:43

I'm not F2P and I'm struggling with Menacing 😭
