The purpose of this post is to say: Yes, Caleb can carry you this far🧡

I don't know since when I reach for this team whenever it's normal/one-teamed stages (example: 281-289, 291-299). But here we are!

Yes, it's overtstats, you'll finish super early in those stages^^

Here, my companion is Netherlord so my protocore substats are mostly HP💚

If you prefer X-02, choose protocores with ATK substats💜

If you prefer Colonel, choose protocores with DEF substats❤️

🌸T1
Protocores
Cubes: 1 EEB + 1 HP Bonus
Pyramids: 2 CRIT Rate + 2 DMG Boost to Weakened

🌸T2
Protocores
Cubes : 1 EEB + 1 HP Bonus
Pyramids: 4 DMG Boost to Weakened

Notes
- First resonance as soon as you enter the arena, at 1:58 or 1:57
- Second resonance [break shield] at around 1:42 - 1:38
- I don’t remember which resonance but it’ll be at around 00:42-00:38
- The second last resonance when the boss life is less than one, should be at 00:27, otherwise the boss HP will 🔒 at 00:25-00:24
- Your last resonance will be at around 00:12

The amount of tries…🧍‍♀️But if you have higher stats than me, of course you’ll finish earlier ^^ , mine finished at 00:01 or 0 sec left

*Hit the Resonance Skill button as soon as it replenish, we have to be fast fast 💨 every second counts 🧍‍♀️💨

*Avoid from being ‘saved’ or covered by Caleb, because that slow-mo steals our time.

*Make as many lotus as possible when you’re waiting for Resonance Skill to replenish 🪷 [Active Skills + support skill / spam basick attack combo], that’s why I use EEB. I also use Active Skill as soon as it refreshes^^

Finished at 1:34 [gameplay]

Protocore levels for solar pairs: HP lvl 15, HP Bonus cubes lvl 12

Here is alternative stats for all team Caleb this season 🍎

When I was new to the game, with no experience in playing combat, I had a lot of questions in mind. "The resources are limited! I don't spend much! Is it really possible to pull for everyone?!"

I hope this post may ease you if you want to prioritise Caleb in all aspects.

Let's begin! ~

1. Combat teams

 It’s up to you whether to:

(A) Build various teams. For example, Xavier for yellow, Zayne for blue, Rafayel for purple, Sylus for pink and Caleb for red. This will benefit for matching stella in Open Orbit & Hunter contest.

or

(B) Focus on Caleb - red, purple and green. Will brute force a lot in Open Orbit & Hunter contest. But not really a problem if you build the team properly. Just make sure to have backup plan if you can’t brute force with your main team. 

In my case, I went with (B). I have other teams to make up for pink and yellow.

2. Open Orbit Progress with Caleb (+ Stats)

Now I'm at OO290 and I only use other companion in OO150 T2, OO210 T1, OO240 T1 (pink stellas).

Planning to also use other companions at OO290 T2 (yellow) and OO300 T2 (pink).

In total I have 3 LI teams (Caleb, Sylus for pink, Rafayel for yellow). Brute forcing all blue stage in OO with Caleb was non issue.

Of course, it's possible to complete all Open Orbit stages with R1 Calebs (I've seen players cleared!!) but I don't have pretty protocores yet. That's why I use other LI companions.

Here is🌸 stats for Open Orbit 200-280 with Caleb 🌸(except OO210 T1 and OO240 T1).

Extra: I refer this spreadsheet for OO stages to plan if I want to pull/build other LI myth🌸List of stellactrum on orbits 🌸 --- I foresaw OO290 T2 that's why I pulled for LSG heheh.

3. Gravity Orbit (+ GO150 Stats)

I'm free from the infamous GO150 after months, yeay! I've also seen R0 LR players cleared it! 

Here is🌸 stat and elaboration 🌸on clearing GO150!

4. SHC with Caleb

After understanding protocores, I have managed to obtain 8 badges straight. Then 2 seasons got 35/36 (yellow and pink stella trap for me). And now again 2 badges straight. 

So, totalling 10 season badges with all Caleb teams.

--------🍎--------

Since we're talking about Battles, I'd like to share some tips:

5. A few seconds from clearing

If you are only a few seconds away from clearing a stage, usually it means rotation needs some tweaking. Go to Training Room to see whether you get the companion’s rotation right. This is what I did to see if I made any mistakes in rotation! 

6. Awakening Cards and Max Level Protocores

Protocores are the ~cores~ of combats. You can even clear high orbit stages with 3 star card, equipped with SSR protocores. For example, I cleared Open Orbit 240 Team 1 with four 5-star cards (all R0 and only solar pairs awakened), one 4-star level 1 card and one 3-star level 1 card.

Because resources are scarce, here are steps I do before deciding to awaken cards for Battles:

1. Check if protocores sub stats match companion (Colonel - DEF, Netherlord - HP, X-02 - ATK)
2. Level up protocores (try to have all at lvl 9 or 12, before levelling up to 15)
3. Level up your cards to 60-70 first (if your protocores are at lvl 12 or 15)

7. Claymore

For basic weapon, claymore does the most damage. Sometimes you use a gun, sword and can’t clear (even after practicing with rotation and you’re still a few seconds away), try to use claymore. I’m attaching this ⚔️Claymore guide video⚔️ if you’d like to check it out. It has slow-mo demo and all, I learnt from this video!

8. Netherlord rotation

Tbh, I didn't choose Netherlord right away in Battles after pulling because I didn't know how to use him... even after going to the Training Room🫩 How do I complete the lotus?!

Sooo, these are the guides I referred if you'd like to check them out!! [Guide 1], [Guide 2].

Completing lotus is fun once you’ve got it.

My favourite rotations to complete lotuses are:

1. One🪷 : Active skills - Charged basic attack (Hold and release basic attack)
2. Two 🪷 🪷 combo: Support skills (he will do 💙blue or 🩷pink lotus) - Active skills (deviate to right ➡️ to form 🩷pink if he did 💙blue ) / (deviate to left ⬅️ to form 💙 blue if he did 🩷pink ) - Charged basic attack - spam Basic attack 5 times (the sword will shine ✨ at 4th press then deviate to right🩷 or left💙 for the 5th press)

Or without explanation:
Support skill - Active skills (here is 🪷) - Charged basic attack - spam basic attack 5 times (here is another🪷 )

Completing lotus summary:
If he did 💙blue, deviate to right ➡️ to form 🩷 pink

If he did 🩷pink, deviate to left ⬅️ to form 💙 blue

No need to deviate in [Active skill - Charged basic attack]. The Charged Basic Attack will automatically complete your half lotus formed from Active Skills.

--------🍎--------

We've reached the end of this post~

What's important is to enjoy your time playing the game!! 🎉 No need to rush with combats >< , it’ll take time farming for good protocores and building a team overall~

Notes:

1. T1 protocores… missing two… because T2 needed them more... But, T1 is a normal stage, so it’s okay👍
2. 🍬TEAM 2 🍬

- I referred this YouTube video for rotation!!!

- Today I noticed that when I was in Ardent Oath in dark area of the arena (refer the attached third pic, the top pic in collage)—-(lean to the very left or very right of the arena) —- in the pic, you can see I was flying at the very left of the arena, literally at the edge—- the wanderer took more damage AND there’s lower chance for it to lokc HP!!

OR

You can also try attaking its tail! Because when you move while you’re flying during Ardent Oath, it moved too, kinda want to protect its tail! (This is also what I noticed and tried!)

These made it easier, only took a few attempts after noticing them. It's all about timing. 🍬Try to minimise time in stacking the gold bar 💃 AT THE START and later AFTER the second Ardent Oath (tap fast!).🍬Ensure the second last Ardent Oath finished at 00:27-00:25, then Ardent Oath again right away like in the video I shared and you'll finish at 00:00

🍬🍭ROTATION IN WRITING with explanations 🍭🍬 (based on the gameplay video I referred, but I improvised cause idk how to do charged attack-dodge, so here I only do basic attacks, and charged attack only once in the beginning)[5 Fully charged gold bars + 5 Ardent Oath]

1. CHARGE GOLD BAR TWICE + 2 ARDENT OATH

Support Skill (before entering the arena, to fill one gold bar) - Charged attack - dodge - [[ Basic Attack combo until the gold bar is fully charged (tap basic attack twice, dodge twice) --> (💃 just count as if you're dancing ~ " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃) ]] = 🍭NOW YOU HAVE FULLY CHARGED GOLD BAR 1 and nearly charged Ardent Oath🍭 - hold Active Skills (until there's 12 shards OR there's number '4' above the health bar on the shards/skill icon) then release

Support Skill - Active Skills - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = 🍭NOW YOU HAVE CHARGED GOLD BAR 2 and FULLY charged Ardent Oath 1🍭 - hold & release Active skills - Ardent Oath

*Your Ardent Oath should be half full AFTER finishing Ardent Oath 1

IMMEDIATELY Support Skills - Active Skills = 🍭NOW YOU HAVE Ardent Oath 2🍭

2. REPEAT STEP ONE ABOVE except charged attack [CHARGE GOLD BAR TWICE + 2 ARDENT OATH]

Then you should've used 4 Ardent Oath at this point ✅ You should finish the 4th AO at around 00:27-00:25

3. AFTER 4th AO, IMMEDIATELY Support Skill - Active Skills (this is to charge HALF of AO) - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = 🍭NOW YOU HAVE CHARGED GOLD BAR🍭 - ACTIVE SKILL IMMEDIATELY to finish charging your Ardent Oath 5 then press Ardent Oath right away!

4. DONE. YOU CLEARED IT!!

--------🍬🍭🍬🍭ROTATION SUMMARY 🍬🍭🍬🍭--------

🍬5 Fully charged gold bars + 5 Ardent Oath🍬

Support Skill - Charged attack - dodge - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = [CHARGED GOLD BAR 1 and nearly charged Ardent Oath] - hold Active Skills then release

Support Skill - Active Skills - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = [ CHARGED GOLD BAR 2 and FULLY charged Ardent Oath] - hold & release Active skills - 🍭Ardent Oath 1🍭

IMMEDIATELY Support Skills - Active Skills - 🍭Ardent Oath 2🍭

Support Skill - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = [CHARGED GOLD BAR 3 and nearly charged Ardent Oath] - hold Active Skills then release

Support Skill - Active Skills - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = [CHARGED GOLD BAR 4 and FULLY charged Ardent Oath] - hold & release Active skills - 🍭Ardent Oath 3🍭

IMMEDIATELY Support Skills - Active Skills - 🍭Ardent Oath 4🍭

IMMEDIATELY Support Skill - Active Skills - 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃 = [CHARGED GOLD BAR 5] - IMMEDIATELY ACTIVE SKILL - 🍭Ardent Oath 5🍭

-----------🍬🍭🍬🍭DONE!🍬🍭🍬🍭-----------

Or to even put it more simply, there are three sets of rotation:

Gold bar 1 - Gold bar 2 - Ardent Oath 1 - Ardent Oath 2

Gold bar 3 - Gold bar 4 - Ardent Oath 3 - Ardent Oath 4

Gold bar 5 - Ardent Oath 5

** Try to minimise time by tapping or 'dancing' fast: 💃 Basic attacks " 1, 2 dodge dodge. 1,2 dodge dodge. 1,2 "💃

-----------🍬🍭🍬🍭🧁🍬🍭🍬🍭-----------

🍬Awhile ago, I also have seen players cleared this T2 with R0 LR too!! But I don’t remember where I saw the stats and gameplay. Probably on YouTube, Threads or TikTok.

3. Finally out of this stage✊ after who knows how long…

Finished at 1:52, DMG Boost +40%

Link to gameplay

Protocores used:
Cubes - 1 Expedited Energy Boost + 1 DEF Bonus
Pyramids - 3 DMG Boost to Weakened + 1 CRIT DMG

Cleared with LSG last Friday~ This was the first time I brought him to SHC!

SHC Season 27/7-10/8/2026

Gameplay links:

1. Team A,B,C all match stellactrum
2. Team C brute force finished at 1:36

Companions: Netherlord and X-02

Notes:

🌸Stats: Can be lower for all match stella teams since they're finished at 1:58, 1:51 and 2:03.

🌸Protocores: Try to select protocores with sub stats HP bonus (for Netherlord) and ATK bonus (for X-02) if you can. If not, just use protocores you have like I did here^^

🌸Actually, it's recommended to use at least 2 dmg boost to weakened protocores (or 100.0% dmg boost to weakened stat) when you match stella. I only have 1 for Team A that's why I replaced with crit rate and crit dmg instead~~

Team A: Brute force (R3 FA, Netherlord)
Team B: Brute force (R1 NE, Netherlord)
Team C: Match stella (R1 LR, X-02)

🟢Team B, finished at 1:32. Took a few tries🙏
- Eliminate the three wanderers at once (in the first pic) in Wave 1.
- Wave 1 completed at 2:18-2:19.

- Wave 2 Resonance & special skill twice, oath once.

🟩 Team B cubes: 1EEB, 1OS. Initially, I used EEB+HP bonus but finished at 1:23. So, I switched to OS then cleared it the next try.
