No Owned Limited OE Dtide 425 [Ultra Ring] May 11th - May 24th
THIS IS AEQUOR RING I MESSED UP THE TITLE I BLAME 3 AM BRAIN.
Draco from Discord here again with this Dtides no limited OE clears. I unfortunately had to use a whale borrow though as I ran out of teams but everyone can use a whale borrow so hopefully it still counts. I did not believe in E1 level 60 Doresain's ability to clear any of these waves this time 😞. As always I made sure to not reuse wheels with my E3 varients of borrows that were used to replace my OE Kath, Gmurphy, and Gdoll. Thank you to Al for helping with my Caecus W5 comp and Monchi for providing support!
Additional thanks to Spooky, Arisu, Bagels, and Ellie for lending borrows with the requested wheels. ALL CLEARS WERE DONE BEFORE THE BUFFS CAME THROUGH EXCEPT FOR THE KATH CLEAR. The person I needed to borrow from was not awake before update reset hit.
Total time for normal 425 sweep and then no limited OE reclears: 13 hours and 30 minutes, it definitely could have been sub 10 hours since I had to move some clears around to different waves from my original 425.

W1 [Blesser]
Stage relic was really good against blesser since it was shield when rousing which helps block the initial poison hit before you can ramp shields.
Stall kath is a pretty good matchup for Blesser since she can usually shield the hit and reduce the damage and poison application to near 0 while Tinct can remove the vulnerable debuff. Unfortunately I could not kill the mobs that reduce your crit rate the first rotation so my Kath had like 0 crit rate 😭 but at least Tinct's 3 cost could rememdy that a bit. Doll was ran to weak blessor and Ryker for his crit rate relics, sigil yield bonus, and vulnerable from his dice. I kept ultra rounds for emergency when I couldn't block the big hits. This team got decent keyflare wheels since I needed to posse every turn.
Defensive oriented Castor Pollux with Erica for vulnerable and temporary alert to shield and Agrippa for permanent alert and Caro mechanic for healing and embryos. I took the poison relic to tick down a bit of corrosion on the boss when I couldn't hit it due to mobs in front though I am not sure how useful it was. I put aliemus battery wheels on Agrippa to try to charge her exalt faster for permanent alert scaling. As always Castor has Chains Unbound for more chance for his weakness card to show up and trigger his Quasar.
W2 [Wax Couple]
Stage relic really good for multihitters and especially Mouchette since she benefits most from strength out of damage amp, strength, and base damage.
Pretty typical Mouchette with Salvador to apply weak and vuln. Not the best Mouchette team but good enough to get the job done. I had pretty good relic rolls with Plague Record (one of the best caro relics), Highest Honor, Mythag Insignia, and Crimson Brooch + portrait.
Whalechette borrow, ez clear only had to take 1 DR. I tried with an E3 level 70 but without Helot it was not going to happen even though I got to boss and I spent 2 hours during my stream attempting it and failing 😞. I took the posse for my weak vuln application so gave the team good keyflare but it may have been a bit overinvested.
W3 [Devouring Howl]
Strength downers were really good for staying within the relic threshold of below 50% and 25% hp without dying.
Pretty typical Xu Nymph Carry. Very effective against the dog since it is multihit so one of the rare times you actually devour with Xu's exalt. The multihits are a bit scary since it is several DRs you're likely to take. I decided to use Corpo wheel on this team to restore a bit of hp after DR since I thought I may take a lot. This team had kind of sad keyflare which is a bit bad for poison teams since they like rouses and the posse is very important this wave but I ultimately decided to sacrifice keyflare during this wave since I dont mind resetting to hit death resistances as much in a straight to boss compared to mobs.
Starving 24 comp. 24's wheels were kind of just whatever I had lying around due to 24's signature being used on W1 to Agrippa. Celestial Beast and Bloody Feast both boost exalt damage but definitely could have used less invested wheels. I normally run Tulu filler for my 24 team and for tentacle damage boosts during 24 manic exalt but he got used in a later wave as Aequor fill. I usually try to save Celeste for waves with mobs where I think taking a Celeste DR is unavoidable or will help with saving resources that would be spent trying to avoid the death resistance/going hp positive when current hp is lower than what Celeste will revive you with. but no wave ended up needing her so I dumped her here. I definitely do not think Sanga or Celeste overexalts were neccesary.
I do not like the SR Keyflare wheel Slumber Beneath the Glacier as it gives sacrifice when you posse but this team was the one I suspected I would not be posseing much for since I needed to rouse units so I chose to run it here. Gdoll ended up with Till the Snow Melts because the person I was borrowing from did not have Gdoll's event SR or Man in the Mirror and I wanted Aliemus generation for Gdoll.
W4 [Primordial Devoteee (Faros)]
Posse refund relics is great for almost every team especially ones that rely on posse every turn like Ghelot. On Gurpy it allowed double posse due to the already strong keyflare generation.
I was suprised how easily Gmurphy E3 could clear this wave but I guess it was indeed blue ring so everyone got charged super fast. The elites were almost scarier than the actual Faros fight. I took the counter relic Truth Unbound for the realm mastery and Severed Head Worm for tentacle scaling.
Typical Ghelot comp with Daff ran as an ultra round accelerator and weak/vuln/arith generator. Not the best comp but a good enough one to do this wave. Strength relics are great for Ghelot and I'm always a fan of aliemus charging relics. Easter moment is prefered and I only take Proto battery if it is upgraded typically. Faros is very much a burst by turn 6 or 7 boss or die and the elites were really nasty so I gave Aigis Tulu's wheel to charge her exalt bar faster and Thais Spring to charge her ult fast.
W5 [Tela Perpetua (Arachne)]
Slightly starved Vortex team, as stated earlier, I thought a diferent team would potentially need Celeste more since it was blue ring and Vortex should have a super easy time during blue ring. I used Tulu since he can boost tentacle damage for Vortice's exalt and also his E3 makes him gain 5 aliemus at the turn end which is great for Vortice who likes to spam exalts. Murphy's E3 does similar. Tawil is another exalt spammer and her exalt can fetch things like Chosen, Reload, Waltz, Abyss Hymns, sustain and other weak/vulnerable cards. Tawil is like a toolbox that allows Vortex teams versatility. Keyflare was really important to remove cards from Arachne's ultra space.
AA Caecus counter with Arachne who boosts damage amp and can double play any card in ultra space when anhilated and roused. Corpo was run for weak and shields while Horla was ran for additional weak/vuln and grief stance which boosts shield and hp. Caecus' portrait makes him heal for the amount of shield generated which synergizes nicely with grief stance. This team got good keyflare wheels since posseing ever turn to remove cards from Arachne's ultra turn is very important and Festival of Tides was used since Caecus' cards are quite expensive and I wanted to be able to play multiple of his 3 cost Protective Scales which causes his counter to trigger an additional time per hit. I used dreams for more copies of his counter cards and to ensure Ultra Space was likely to be filled with them.
Thank you so much for reading if you have gotten this far. Feel free to ask questions and let me know if this is too in depth, not in depth enough, or just right. Also here is a pure stall Castor I ran into W1 just for funsies. This is what a very well fed team looks like. Rabbit on Agrippa isn't great but I just didn't think I would dr at all so I ran it over the typical Burial Grounds.
