New Player Looking for Team/Character Farming Advice for Shiyu S-rank and 6-star DA
Started in 3.0. Mindscapes and w-engines in the image. Planning to also pick up Dialyn M0W1 from 3-char signal and Astra M0W1 from spending event. I would only consider getting 1 more character (Anom for Remie + Velina or Rupture for Lucia) before holding everything for a sunbringer team, so this (+ a few more A rank mindscapes / W-engines from pulling Dailyn) is going to be my account for the foreseeable future.
In the short term I care mainly about getting all polychromes from DA/Shiyu Defense. In the long term I would focus on characters who have staying power/versatility.
I'm asking for advice on what teams/characters I should be focused on gearing up and to what extent, Most don't have all their main stats in discs and those that do don't have 2pcs. My current status and naive plan is as follows:
- Remie + Velina + Grace(/Piper? not sure what bosses I would switch on, or maybe I should always Piper except on Phaethon of the Scorched Horizon?) - Currently playing and got 14k last DA and should be close to S rank this Shiyu. Keep Grace in always for now, improve enough to S rank Shiyu if possible, don't try to 3-star DA until able to get A rank across the board in Shiyu.
- Pyrois + Anby(/Dialyn?/Astra?) + Nicole - Currently playing and got 10k last DA. Keep Anby for now and try to get 14k DA (Should get me close to S rank Shiyu)
- Manato + ???(Pulchra?/Dailyn?/Anby?) + Lucia - Wasn't able to get any reasonable progress (<1k DA) with Lucy in second slot. No idea if I should lvl Pulchra here, wait for Dailyn, or abandon this team for the moment.
- S11 + some combination of Dailyn, Anby, Astra, Lucy, and Pulchra - No idea here what comp to go here, but maybe this S11 led team should be my third team in the short term instead of the rupture team?
Long term disc focus would be: Remie + Velina (as the combo should be good for years) > Pyrois (Should be solid for a while with the eventual M6W5) = Dialyn (Very strong stunner) = Astra (support with tons of team versatility) > Lucia (Rupture support to eventually get a DPS for) > Everyone else.
To summarize the primary questions:
- What team comps should I be using in the short term (getting all polychromes available)?
- Should I be using Piper instead of Grace?
- Who should I use with Pyrois + Nicole?
- Should I try to make a rupture team work now or just go a second attack team with S11 at the head?
- Do these comps change in the long term (adding in Dialyn/Astra, a 4th team comp, more fluid team comps due to boss resistances)?
- Does my long term disc focus strategy look well reasoned?
- If not effectively answered in (1)/(2): What should be my A-rank custom search targets?
