Optimising Luxcavations

[Ekimmak]

So, since I've been doing this nonstop for all the free bonuses. I might as well set up specific teams for each Luxcavation (one for the final tier XP, and then a team each for the thread bosses).

I feel like I have good setups, but there could be improvements. Feel free to brag about the teams you've built for beating these guys efficiently and consistently.

My personal pride project is my Lust team for Headless Fish. Liu Ishmael, N Faust, W Corp Ryoshu, N Sinclair, and 7 Outis. The goal is to get the EGO resources for Capote by turn 3, to clash against Blood Cannon (and preferably, under paralysis from Outis Skill 1 in the process). If I don't see Ishmael Skill 2 in her original set, then I just need to use her Counter skill on body parts that aren't going to be staggered, and we're good for Wrath. Lust is guaranteed, no worry there. Sloth is a bit tricky, since it's Outis Skill 2, and that might not be drawn, but then I can rely on other EGO combined with the paralyse. Heck, if you have Sinclair Skill 3, you have an unbeatable 18 floor, there's plenty of ways to beat that number.

Uh, for the fish with that particular team. Win rate - damage - damage should win it within 2-3 turns. No need to even think much. At most you'll need manual input to make sure Sinclair gets unopposed attack. You may occasionally lose clash, but it's okay to take damage when all you're looking for is to not waste your time.

In general you can churn through half the luxcavation with winrate/damage button and clear them at record time. Telepole doggo will have the body broken turn 1 and eats up lethal amount of damage turn 2. Ebony queen dies just as fast if you focus down the head, just about any decent lineup can tank it. Pink shoes may need a redirection or two to prevent overkill, but similarly it resolves in 2-3 turns. Apple takes longer, maybe 4-5 turns but same concept.

Calendar and cyborg does takes forever though. I usually skip these two.

You can just ignore all minions and focus only Calendar. I only need 3 turns to kill in Luxcavation. MD sometime need 4 turns since it has more HP.

[A5G_Reaper]

I cant be assed to manually target it over and over just to save a couple of modules. Headless fish, for example, takes like 6 clicks.

[Ekimmak]

If you have enough Envy generation, and Faust rolls lucky on speed, can entirely Hex Nail to delete the HP without even giving a chance to use the mass attack.

It's actually where I've been getting a little experimental. There's a lot of good envy IDs to try out, either having them as good skill 1/2, or all the envy nukes we have in charge IDs.

[Angela]

The problem with Calendar is you need to kill its first 2 minions then break both of its arms before nuking it
As long as you manage their sanity (the one who do nuking need to have decent sanity) charge ids dont need Hex Nail to nuking it in 1 turn (3 to 4 turns in total) but the whole prosses to get to there is annoying. Cyborg is equally annoying tho.

[Ekimmak]

Which Cyborg boss do you mean? The one for fighting with Pride or with Gloom?
Pride/Pink Shoes has unpleasantly high power lust attacks, and it feels like all the good pride attackers are vulnerable to blunt or lust (or both). KK Rodion is guaranteed to pass the skill check, and if you get lucky, you can actually win clashes with the likes of BL Sang.
Gloom/Must Be Strong is long and involved, and the boss also has high strength attacks. Probably the biggest problem is that each time you reduce them to zero gives them +haste, so you stop being able to safely redirect attacks.

[Angela]

The one who can revive so Oride, killing them ins't an issue but they will rev for multiple times. Even the event to get rid of their revive is annoying because there are 2 of it with the last you need to click no and skip 3x, then you can kill them for good.

I dont have much of an issue with the other Cyborg, so it's only Calendar and Pride Cyborg who have annoying mechanic to prevent you to killing them fast.

As I said before, pink shoes can be cleared by the winrate button. But if you're inclined to manual it, you can do the redirection trick to one-sided stagger them and bypass the clash entirely. The faster sinner set to clash, then set a slower sinner to clash, and it'll allow the first sinner to attack first without getting interrupted. Repeat this as necessary.

What level is your units? Random assortment of strong clashers shouldn't have any worry at luxcavation.

[Ekimmak]

Most are in the 34-35 range, at minimum 30. I just feel like if I'm going to be doing these constantly, I might as well try and optimise.

[A5G_Reaper]

Seriously, just stack strong clashers. The luxcavation enemies are so squishy that resistance doesn't really matter much as long as you bring big numbers.

[Birp]

Exp Luxcavation: press winrate, minimize game window, 30 seconds later, click game icon & repeat. 4-5 turns

Thread luxcavation: ^ same as above x3. Sometimes I skip the more annoying ones.

[Ekimmak]

Well, that's unfortunate. I guess I'm the only one that cares.

[Spreit]

Just buy energy daily and skip them once. You'll get tons of threads with season change and we'll probably get lvl40 luxcavations, so no point in excessive grinding now.

[Ekimmak]

If I'm getting daily bonuses, I might as well do them.

I'm beginning to feel the reason why I can't find "this one perfect combo" for each is because there's always a catch.

Taking today's Pink Shoes Enchantee: The best Pride characters are either weak to lust, or weak to blunt. KK Ryoshu has great pride skills, can easily beat the skill check. But she's also fatal to blunt, and her counter skill doesn't get protection until after the hit. N Faust is endured to blunt, but fatal to lust unless you somehow have Telepole or Fluid Sac ready in a four turn battle. Molar Ishmael is lust fatal, and only just barely makes up for it with the best evade in the game that doesn't synch well with her own kit.

"Ignore and dogpile" only works if you have the SP to get heads coins. So you have to clash. But often, the target has just enough clash power that you can't reliably win. When the big robot decides "I'm just going to roll all tails on all my 15 ceiling -coin skills", there's very little that can even beat that.

I just don't get why everybody says "We don't need to care about actually fighting enemies" when they are quite capable of a single turn stagger.

It's IDENTITYies MAXimum LEVELs 35 so they don't care about Clash. Use Friends Support Emil Sinclair N CORP.ORATION Wing of the World The One Who Shall Grip. He's good for Unopposed attacks & can Win Clashes if Clash.
