>We actually died at p10Wow that's a new low
>All these restrictions on VoDBoo
>>550737363Haven't given it a try yet, what's so bad?
>>550739012nta but you have to auto easy modes 2-3 times before you get to... auto the last mode until the boss once for each path for fun and then just auto it all for coins probably
>>550739012Gotta do the easier levels first.Gotta use the shitty level 50 assist chars to clear quests (fates are locked to quests instead of extra reward this time).
Guys I have to sleep sometimes, you all need to do your part. Didn't try VoD yet but checked the shop. Was hoping for another upgrade potion, no such luck,

A whole ass month of VoD for Nydia to dogwalk yippee
>>550741001>>550741463Sure is a lot of spinning
>>550743006Their loadouts are crap
Level 2 easy enough to bring a nova-less Ciri along. Still don't see where it says you need to use the rentals though.
>>5507506791st collection reward
>>550743276Still in awe just how strong she is especially now that I got her got to 3*. It's so late but still considering putting her in to 5* after the witcher gang.
>>550752126I would recommend 5*ing her, no unit comes close to her in terms of mob clearing consistency.
>>550752126Gotta take both sisters to 5*.
Don't forget to do rank challenge 12 with your newfound strength.
You farm VoD for gold. I farm VoD for engraving boxes. We are not the same.
neat

*blocks you're path*wat do?
>>550761161Jump over
>>550752126>>550753497What makes her so strong? After the Witcher units are done in the mines, she's the next one I want to 5*. Got her at 3* now but I probably built her wrong.
>>550773487arrows go boom
Hmm I wonder how that +200% HP will look on Cocoa these days...>1013909Fuck me dead and it's only going up the more runs I do

>>550758580I farm for gold for now because I still have 200 engraving boxes that I can't afford to use
You can never have enough
>>550790029When my gold is almost always <250,000 yes I can
You can get rare blessings now it seems.

>>550761161
>>550798767W-Why is she looking at me like that?
>>550799373She's looking over your left shoulder
Bear school seems terrific. It's like having tankbro from the summon path, but on the whole party.
>>550802282It's just the defense route that the first couple of VoDs had
>>550802282I think dot could be stronger if you have the units for it. Taking the old standby 300% hp but -90% at start is still good but then you gotta then throw Cocoa in there.
>>550803465Cocoa and Camelot with 300% boosted HP are pretty much unstoppableKiya with 300% and then 90% HP missing hits harder than I have words for
>>550802346"just" but you get to start with the -2CD every timeit's even easier
>>550791079So this is just permanent happiness right?Poor Cocoa's out of a job with this one
>>550803682Ooh I haven't tried Kyia in there yet.Usually she just about kills herself or wastes her dragoon jump on targets that get cleared off anyway.On auto at least
Hello?
>>550841415Hi how are you ?
Hey uhhhh I'm kinda getting my ass beat on this stage, what sort of units should I be bringing to this? I had just been bulldozing through stuff with units like Marcille and Inanna SP beforehand.
>>550846753Should've rerolled buffs. Good one will allow you to auto throughout
>>550849732What buffs would you recommend? I was just grabbing things that increased HP and increased damage based on HP.
>>550831676God I'm sad how much she got pushed down starting at SP Samantha. Going to become a counterattack niche unit at this rate.
These highest difficulty stage 7 guys hit fucking hard. I figured that level 35 thing was a joke after the event farming stages said impossible but were definitely possible, but these guys can almost one hit Cocoa through the mega inflated HP perk.
>>550853386Yeah, she's my favourite defender. I hope she gets a great ascension skill one day.
>>550850808200 hp but cuts 90% hp at the startJust heal at the start and you're goodIt's the easy vod strat for a while now and with sp sam, cam and the witcher characters introduced the vod is easier this time
>>550846753This is just learning pains as you figure out what's good and what isn't in this mode.For example at the moment Bear School is good because if you focus on survivability skills you can become almost invincible.Remember that your collection level will help a lot more than your gear this time round.Some good grabs I can think of>+200% hp, take 90% damage (if you have Cocoa or Lifesteal)>+100% hp, take +100% damage +15% lifesteal (Just pumping health)>Gain shield based on health with the above>6 Buffs conditional for the damage buff is very easy to hit>Gain buffs on standby combos with March Command and allows you to both attack and get the buffs>CD reduction and take 10% damage on skill (if you have lifesteal)I'm probably missing a few from the health and defence based ones. I don't know how good the golden skills are, the happiness one sounds really good and can substitute Cocoa I think. Haven't seen it yet though.
>>550850808For a long time the strat for VoD was restarting defensive mode until you got this option to start. Cocoa's ult heal is based on her HP so it scales with the increase. Its weakness is fights where you start split up, faster units who start right in your face (Agata boss) and on auto your faster units suiciding themselves before getting healed.
>>550863559>Remember that your collection level will help a lot more than your gear this time round.isn't it supposed to only add golden options and such in the case of VOD? rather than global stat bonus
>>550863559My favourite combo so far is>gain shields when healed, stacking infinitely>heal at start and end of turn>deal extra damage based on current shieldsCamelot is having a blast
>>550867716I mean we have 5-7 bosses with 3M hpI doubt you can punch through that without the global stat bonuses. They even have the recommendations for when to tackle these.
I still have no idea how her kit works, but Kiya was just healing everyone with every hit all of a sudden.
What skill do you guys use with Kiya?
>>550867716There have been posts about Cocoas and Camelots with over 1mil hp, the stat boosts are here
>ranged attack range increased by at least 6, up to 11>attacking from 6 or more gives highland advantage>single target attack gives 30% more damage and act again>boss stage is Rawiyah, Iggy and all Breaker calamitiesNydia is about to remind them
I just take the Bear one that reduces skill CDs by 2 and spam Geralt's Signs ten times per turn.
>>550888115>>550872690>They even have the recommendations for when to tackle these.that's true, I guess VOD now embraces becoming trivial after you have explored path options once
>>550896741It's no more trivial than it ever was, every VoD has been autoable with a few boss stage exceptions
>>550897223it's gonna be if your collection stat bonus keeps ramping up while enemies remain at the same level
>>550906515Doubtful, I'm almost at the point that C. levels start giving fuck all and occasionally run into non-boss stages that will fail if left to auto such as the one with the desert units that create sandstorms and teleport all over the place.Old reused stages are easier, sure but new ones are keeping it overall around the same as before. The tank summoning path set a lowpoint for triviality and at worst all that can be done now is match it.
lol
Pixel sister sex!

>He skipped thisFor shame.
>>550923626I just didn't think I had enough for units I wanted more after her. I should have trusted the plan.
>>550926926It's okay bro I'll think about you while using her.
>>550923626I don't like characters with wings unless they have bird heads.
I just got the 2-month login reward today. Only characters I have built are the starters and the Witcher quartet but the latter seem like they'll be able to carry me for a while.
>>550939756I imagine they will, 2 Witcher units can easily cover everything that I would have built an entire team around back then and then some
>>550939756You're good. Next is SP Maitha and she's top tier. Your roster will grow even if you lose 50/50
>>550935901Ugly
>>550939756So long as you got all the Witcher units, you're free to save your pulls until the event's over.
Sex with Caris
I'm a simple man. I see Maitha I skip.
>>550972885
Not the map you want to see on defensive mode.
>>550973467Those damn Rayshots
Any OP blessings in the Wolf school?
>>550987579I just take anything that gives Act Again
>>550987579There are infinitely stacking movement and attack buffs and you can get ranged units to basically become that one Ballista from Night Crimson with full map coverage
>>550987579Do these schools actually reflect anything in Witcher lore? Can we make assumptions on what cat/bird will have tomorrow?
>>550993641The schools reflect philosophies of training. Wolf emphasizes versatility, Bear emphasis endurance, Cat emphasizes mobility. Pretty sure they even have a description blurb in VoD.
>>550993641You can see a description of each school in the VoD event notice.>Wolf: balanced>Bear: defense/survivability>Cat: mobility/some survivability >Griffon: terrain-focused>Viper: DoTs>Manticore: potions/buffs

So auto Nydia will basic in melee range with Melee Mega Crossbow if she has no move or other target. Think it's the first time I've ever seen it happen. Kind of like how auto Tristan will only go Super Saiyen if she has nothing else to do with 2 range of somebody.
Don't be like me and forget to do your pioneer challenge. Finally getting the final stages done.
>>550994980>>550995116Oh that's cute. Probably pretty similar to stuff we've seen previously.
Maitha! Fighto!
Why has Maitha forsaken us..
Probably going to be garbage for auto but we'll see
>>551031826>guy posts about cheating on his wife>Maitha disappears foreverMuch to think about.
>>551038784>At the end of the turn, if the character is not within threat range, gains [Invisibility] and increases Movement by 2 for 1 turn.>Increases DMG taken by 100%. At the end of the turn, if the character is within threat range, gains [Invisibility]This route has sweet mutations to stack with each other
>>551041597You gotta stop simpin' for that guy's dumb wifeWhy did she make him so miserable in marriage that he turned elsewhere?
>>551041769wtf that's nuts
>>550973467Who do you sacrifice?
>>551044940My prostateShould've been a Legendary
>>550956892Got all of them and all their weapons. Even got really lucky with weapon dupes. Ciri just hit 4* between all the free shards from the event and spending every day in the mines.
>>550956892Asking for the millionth time but how good would SP Maitha be if you weren't running her in a full soc comp? Is she t0 for an account with just Witcher units and the free soc units?
>>551047126As far as I'm aware she's still like an A tier unit not running a SoC comp. She's probably worth going after on a fresh account. We're also due for a bunch of high powered units right after her so if you're interested in any Elemaners you could potentially skip her.
>>550853386I like her design well enough but she's probably the character I most regret going to 5* for, wish I'd gotten Nydia instead. Her pledge buff to an ally is godly on paper but being single target DPS is so niche and in fairness I should've known she'd get crept quickly...>>551047126From my general understanding of her if you want to play her solo without other SoC units then you need 5* with a unit that gives her act again because she boosts her own trait/unique mechanic attacking herself (check the yapdoc where they discuss this). So kind of a steep investment but worth the payoff. If you play her in an SoC team then you want at least one of Beryl/NoNo/SP Nungal to trigger the rally mechanic.
I'm gonna pull all three Nova Convallaria units even if they aren't meta.
>>551048527Exact same, I just really wanted a second good defender unit besides Cocoa and she was firmly in T0.5 plus had a great design. That being said Nydia is clearly superior now that I can actually play her. They made it seems like she was way more situational than she is.
>>551048527I don't regret going to 5* but her usage has dropped off fairly sharplyNydia is way better, it's not even close, she has absolutely destroyed every VoD route that we have open harder than the units that specifically fit the theme for that route's buffs. I've never felt as justifiably smug about anything as I do about ignoring the calls to skip Nydia.
>>551048864>Exact same, I just really wanted a second good defender unit besides CocoaPart of why I pulled actually was to have a DPS defender for Pioneering Journey >>551049251>I've never felt as justifiably smug about anything as I do about ignoring the calls to skip NydiaIf I recall the main reason people said she was a skip was because she was an AoE Seeker and most people had 5* SP Rawi at that point. And in CNs original release schedule Nydia was after Lutfi who was also a seeker but with a stronger niche.
Decided to trim the fat from my team and I've just been auto farming solo with Nydia.
