r/stygian_onslaught

Very stoopid boss

First time clearing Fearless without 'cheese', but not without Sigewinne - the MVP of all three clears, and with Klee! Hundreds of tries on Papilla alone: constantly casting and dodging while strategising the CD's alignment for the next short DPS window is hard.

Columbina and Ineffa are R1.

Edit: 'S1' to 'R1'.

I did NOT struggle through the atrocity of Nefer Ningguang on gecko just to fucking fail Herra. Help with teamcomp pls. Diona has 300 er and still sometimes doesn't get burst in the beginning. Both XL and Hu Tao builds are mid at best.

Im Crine this is the 3rd time i cannot do dire because of 1 team haha

I have C6R1 Furina but I am not sure who else to put on the team, other than maybe Xilonen if she gets fully built. Also wondering if the Wolf can be cleared with that team, was also thinking of putting a team with Varesa, Bina, Ineffa, and Sucrose instead of overload and then give nefer Aino
I have all other 4 stars except diona and razer but they are not built.

Got C2 Lauma at like 15 pity and that paired with Nicole not like allat made me give in and up my Nefer investment from C0R0 to C1R1. Would’ve been C2 if Mona didn’t come home but hey, at least Columbina is Lv. 95 now.

Fuck this Gecko man. Stupid ass two separate niche mechanic checks with 20-30s long invulnerability phases making me run Fav Deepwood DEF/DEF/CR Navia in a Nefer team. Never again.

Nice to use Kinich. I didn’t like him as much as I thought I would in the story and before this I wasn’t willing to learn how to play him, but doing this clear I got the 5 cannon rotation down pretty consistently and it’s fun, and he’s about to get Nicole too anyways since I have a guarantee now. Went from planning to pull to not planning to pull to planning to pull. Pretty funny. Either way, my Kinich struggles outside of his shill though since it’s only C0R0 Emilie + Durin and I only have C1 Iansan.

Melted the Herra last time with Wrio, did it again this time. Since last time, I’ve gotten C2 Furina and C1 Coffee, so I just walked up to it and did it in one try with no sweat. It’s a little depressing to see my C6R5 unit get outdamaged by a modern C1R1, but thanks to his flexibility in Melt/Freeze/upcoming Cryo reactions (?) I’m always able to find a side where I can use him.

Next Stygian looks much better. Watcher looks like it actually has fake HP for once, Tulpa is baby food, and the dog shouldn’t be bad either.

What are the best teams that can clear this? It sounds like it just needs two elements, but which ones are better than the rest? It says it favors melt and vape, but I didn't notice why that would be necessary, is it doable with others like Skirk, Overload, etc? (fearless)

i pulled nefer and wanted to use this boss as practice for learning her rotations properly :)
my starting point was barely beating my fastest dps bina clear of 85 seconds about 2 days ago

I listed out my relatively “relevant” characters including ones I’m planning to get by then. Looking for advice for clearing dire in 6.6. I have almost all 4 stars C6. I can’t really reference clears from creators since I don’t have any natlan 5 stars except Kinich.

Would this work?

Watcher: Lunar crystallize

I’ve seen some say that Lunar reactions work here. Illuga may need to be replaced by Yelan if Bina’s hydro application doesn’t suffice.

- Zibai, Linnea, Bina, Illuga

Tulpa: Flins overload

- Flins, Ineffa, Chev, (not sure for 4th slot, Benny’s not ideal for tulpa)

Wolf: Arle, Durin, Nicole, Sucrose

Sucrose for swirl. Also lowkey want to put Durin in the tulpa team but can’t think of anyone else here. Scara faruzan is most likely not enough DPS. Sadly only cleared dire once with them :(

​

All it took was 3 shill teams, 6 limited character Cons, and 4 limited 5* weapons. Eassssy.

But really this was a fun SO to clear overall. Gecko took all of the effort, even with the shill. Somehow switching out flower and circlet on Zibai and losing 7 CR and gaining 13 CD was the catalyst I needed to clear. Probably some unintentional crit fishing I lucked out on played a part.

Proudest of my girl Varesa. She's my favorite.

I also have all 4stars

My best Stygian timing was 122 sec, I want to challenge myself and clear sub 100 sec

I already have some ideas, but I would love to hear your opinions

Thxx

I don’t have Mavuika or any Natlan DPS
(yes, I’m Capitano Mains and ended up being bitter and not pull for any Main DPS Natlan)
So I thought I wont clear this Papilla Shill
I just saw this pyro traveler here in this page
as a counter to this boss,
and thankful I did.

Hopefully, Nefer is still relevant in Snezhnaya.
Woohh!!

i have all 4 stars, mualani is on c4 mona build and skirk is on mh

Not sure about this at ALL but i also might pull for nicole. Idk if that makes a big difference tho.

Are these teams capable you guys think of beating Dire? Idk what the angel needs I understand that it's "reactions" but do Lunar Bloom (Nefer) or Freeze (Skirk) work too? (Would make my life much easier that way)

Context: Mavuika doesn't have an ATK sands (she's on EM) and Escoffier is just there so I can melt more

Tbh, I'm more worried about the Watcher.

Alhaitham's team managed to clear Tulpa in the previous Stygian (118s, after many tries...). I have C6 Fischl but I dunno why I couldn't do it with her at the time.
