Hello, Angbak from Discord here. I've seen several comments on Jenkins wheel being good on G.Lotan and I'm here to explain why IMO, there are way better wheels.

The screenshots attached shows how the bulk of her damage comes from her Long Blade. Granted, this is a E1 strike damage focused build with Arachne, but I'm dealing 1.1m on turn 1 focusing on her Long Blade.

1. G.Lotan's strength is largely concentrated on Rouse + Posse -> Long Blade. Since her posse only DOUBLES the damage of the next strike played, you want to concentrate your strength on 1 Long Blade instead of finding more strikes.

2. Ramona, one of her best partners already guarantees you drawing her Long Blade via her exalt at 0 cost.

3. Damage wise, Jenkins wheel only provides Crit Rate for G.Lotan as main stat. The wheel effects helps to provide a search, but

- it's inconsistent in procing

- it doesn't guarantee that you draw Long Blade

- it doesnt provide any other damage

- You're only reliant on Long Blade, which if played, can't be searched back via Jenkins wheel (it's in discard pile, the wheel prioritises cards in draw pile)

- She has high base damage which Jenkins wheel is overlooking

- In my clear here, you can see that I'm only using 1 card to kill mobs. The search function from Jenkins wheel is useless.

So what wheels are better alternatives?

Base damage multipliers

1. Celestial beast (BIS) - gives 50% strike base damage + cdmg main stat. IMO this is probably her strongest wheel over her own

2. Pollux wheel (Limited BIS) - 35% base damage and cdmg, 15% final damage for first card played

[The rest aren't in order]

Kath wheel (Limited) - base damage increase + cdmg main stat. Able to build str for exalt

Hand of oblivion (SR) - 40% base damage increase

Her own SR wheel - 50% cdmg + some base damage and CC if you have her e1 unlocked (Sigil Yield)

Dore (Limited) - base damage increase, cdmg main stat, more crit chance

Chains (Standard, only if Caro realm) - 40% base damage increase, 35% CC if embryo is used for her next strike.

Her own SSR Wheel (75% cdmg) - imo it's not great since her SR wheel already provides 50% strike cdmg. More cdmg on exalt is nice but most of the time you're just relying on exalt.

Even Special Training is better than Jenkins wheel since it gives you +35% Crit for you to focus purely on C.Dmg.

_______________________________________________

TLDR: There are way better alternatives compared to Jenkins wheel. Stop recconending it as her top option

Last DR proc was 32%. Started with 500% DR.

No limiteds this time

(Im sorry @dumbassgamer) this took me 1 attempt after I gave Mouchette double SSR Wheels

Hello, Angbak from Discord here. Since there were people asking me about my tier list, I decided to do a rough ranking.

This is a

E0, E1, E2, E3 tier list.

Some units move down compared to the previous Enlightenments because other units become better.

Assumptions:

1. All units are assumed to have teammates at the same enlightenments

2. Wheels are e0 of whatever wheel that's common

3. Sorel is N/A cause I dont have experience with her

4. Doll should be B tier at E1 but im too lazy to update

[Addendum/Edits]

Erica probably should be B tier at E3 instead cause of Vuln and Weak

Jenkins might be C instead but also she provides cdmg so.. :shrugs:

AMA

[Reupload to add clarity on each tier list]

Hello, Angbak from discord here. Have been busy with tide and hence the delayed post. I've speedrun G.Lotan on a fresh account and cleared A2C5 in 8 (7 cause I forgot to take the ss) days and here's my 2 Cents.

Rating summary

Difficulty: 8/10

Burst Damage: 10/10

Sustained damage: 6/10

Survivability: 6/10

Story clear: 6.5/10

D-Tide clear: 9/10

Pull reccomendations: minimally e0, e1 for carry, e2 is great but can be bypassed if you have 2 tutors on your team.

1. How to play (TLDR)

There has been several guides so I'll keep it short.

G.Lotan has 2 main sources of damage.

a.) A very buffed long blade

b.) Her exalt

Both damage sources are mainly burst damage.

Long blade benefits from many multipliers.

- high base damage

- 100% (50% mixed realm) damage amp

- wheels base damage increase (Celestial Beast)

- rouse (+1 hit)

- posse (+1 attack)

- 5x str multiplier

- crit

For lower hp stages (arc1 mob fights), you should be able to get away via one shotting using just her 4 cost without rousing.

For higher hp stages, you'll want to rouse + posse to 4x your Long blade damage.

Exalt benefits mostly from enemy's damage

- the higher the enemy damage, the more your exalt deals

- huge str scaling

- always crits

- rouse charges the final damage

Needs to be fused via casting a 3/3 short blade and long blade on the same turn.

For a more detailed guide, you may refer to

1. Glotan indepth guide https://www.reddit.com/r/Morimens/s/4FIoGqzUsv

2. [My post if ever I decide to make a vid]

_________________________________________________

2a. Story (arc1)

This is split into 2 due to the significant differences.

In arc1 - you do not have rouse available on turn 1 unless you have purchase/obtain the rouse card + Delirium (R wheel).

Because you can usually one shot stuff with just an unbuffed Long blade, I would reccomend using G.Ramona posse (see chapter 6) to fetch Long Blade

Put Delirium on a 1 cost rouse unit and you can always fetch Long Blade to one shot mobs. Alternatively, chapter mechanics from ch2,3, 7-9 will either ensure you have it on turn 1, or make it very likely so. Just abuse the lower hp that arc1 mobs have.

For chapter end bosses, I reccomend getting G.Lotan posse instead. Rousing + her posse provides a 4x damage multiplier to your next long sword used. This should help with one shotting bosses, or at least lower them enough to execute with exalt.

I've initially tried the SR Comp but many gnosis was spent due to bosses not dying (and also me not having G.Lotan posse)

_________________________________________________

2b. Story (arc2)

Always choose G.Lotan posse as your main posse.

You should always look at rousing G.Lotan first and immediately using her 4 cost after.

Posse target should always be Ramona to build up her aliemus for her to Exalt and tutor 4 cost.

For bosses with higher hp, if Saya 0 cost is in hand, use it even if you're discarding 4 cost. Just use Ramona exalt to draw it back.

With the initial SR Comp (without posse), I found me not dealing sufficient damage to one shot. Hence my decision to include the strongest support Saya to enable G.Lotan

_________________________________________________

3. Suggested Comp

Saya - provides a ton of damage via corrosion

-Saya wheel + any other wheel

Ramona - exalt tutors G.Lotan 4 cost for free

-Elevated focus (15 aliemus when you posse) + any keyflare/support wheel (Aigis SSR Wheel is great at vuln application)

Aigis/Faint - survivability. Aigis provides a 1 turn petrify while Faint provides DR. Aigis might be better since there's vuln application.

G.Lotan - 4 cost = mob deleter

_________________________________________________

4. Reccomended covenant and wheels

April cov - generally you want to burst on turn 1 and kill, April provides the most burst crit stats.

Wheel - IMO, Celestial beast is BIS if G.lotan is < E3. You'll want 1 base damage wheel + 1 crit wheel

Celestial beast + G.Lotan SR wheel

Or

G.Lotan SSR wheel + Hand of Oblivion

Due to G.Lotan high base damage, you'll want to further multiply it via wheels that give base damage multipliers.

For your supports, 2-3 Deus Ex Machima sets are mandatory in order for you to Rouse G.lotan and 4 cost on the same turn.

_________________________________________________

5. Reccomended Posse to pick up

Any posse that gives Arith and Card Draw (excluding unequal exchange)

1. G.Helot Posse (Mountain resolve)

2. Myriam posse (Festival of Tides)

3. G.Ramona posse (Gateway of Retrospection)

4. Erica posse (Ephemeral Eternity) - only if you're E2

_________________________________________________

Overall thoughts

G.Lotan is a very strong burst DPS who provides the best realm in the game right now.

Her survivability tool is also her biggest weakness for story mode. Namely, kill or be killed. Very often, if you're not killing on turn 1, you're very susceptible to taking damage due to her expensive cards.

Unfortunately, frequently in story mode, chapter end bosses do not die when they're killed and stalls you out.

Hence, her ideal team mates in story are Aigis and Faint who provides survivability. Additionally for mobs whose hp is too high, Saya corrosion provides a sure fire way of nuking on turn 1.

I am aware that there are many things not covered in this post but they are present in the post i linked above. I'll also consider making a vid to further explain in detail.

Tldr-

Must pull unit

Minimally e1 for carry

Wheel not required (Unless E3, then it's up for considerations)

Hello, Angbak from discord here.

Final Mouchette propaganda for the week. 3 level 10 units and only 1 wheel.

Disclaimers: yes there's a lot of rng and resetting for this. Cat relic gives >100 str when you have 25% hp.

Relic of the Past was also critical. (Can be swapped with dusk and dawn)

>!Per hit!<

Hello, Angbak from discord here, showcasing a lower investment Mouchette (lvl 60) doing an exploration wave.

Last DR proc was 50%, started with 400 dr and i have sub 1k hp.

I like mouchette hehe

Hello, Angbak from discord here. Figured I just do a quick Meme/Showcase.

Took an hour so this is obviously not optimal, do not copy this comp.

That being said, some of the strengths of P.Chaos includes the ability to rouse 3 units on turn 1/2/3. Arc 2 rules means that 25% additional poison damage is triggered per rouse. If ever there comes a support P.Chaos unit, keep a look out for it since they'll probably amongst the strongest support.

THIS IS A MEME RUN, DO NOT COPY

Hello, Angbak from discord here. It's that time again for some good old propaganda.

Showcasing E3 lvl 70 Mouchette in all 4 realms in a mostly 3 man team.

Disclaimers:

1.This is chaos ring, so it's obviously benefiting Mouchette

2. Relic of the Past is great but not needed (I already got all my keyflare from dusk and dawn and I never proc DR after using my keyflare

3. Only Aq realm needed lone seed, the remaining teams used Mouchette posse.

4. Alva is only there for vuln, it's mostly a 2 man team on Aq and Caro.

5. Mouchette best wave is straight to boss, so wave 3 is ideal for her.

That being said, I dont think any other units are strong enough to 2/3 man in multiple realms at e3 Lvl 70.

She is the strongest solo carry in the game

FOR PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO PULL PONTOS AND/OR LOOKING TO COMPLETE LILLY EVENT WHEEL. IT ENDS 1 HOUR BEFORE RESET

MAINTENANCE IS 1 HOUR BEFORE RESET.

We're probably still going to see people missing the timeline, but hopefully this saves some people some grief.
