Rapture or Sinking?

[jobhobster]

What is better for stuff like RR? I'm an F2P, so I want to build a team for that purpose, but I honestly not sure how to do it efficiently. During rolling for Ahabish I got W Sang, so that's what made me think about it.

Rupture is stronger if you could get it going, mainly revolving around talisman Sinclair. Will still need a bunch of other rupture IDs to build up the count but is largely independent.

Sinking itself isn't bad, but it's gated by corroded Rime Shank and you'll need to really ration the EGO resource to get it rolling.

Personally speaking, you can just throw standard charge team at it and it'll get you below 100 turns RR3 just fine.

I already did. I just don't really know what to do with resources I got, and I need to do something before halving proceeds. So I thought I'd get myself rapture/sinking team for a future, just don't know which one.
But if I got it right, it's harder to manage sinking due to E.G.O resources, and for rapture it's tedious to get SheetClair going?

This is just My Opinion, but I think sinking team is better all around. The IDs clash well and against multiple enemies it feels more productive to dunk 20 sanity than deal 20 rupture damage on each.

On the other hand, the rupture IDs are generally 00 so they're rather cheap if you wanna get them.

Basically, yes. For sinking team, when it's time to go you corrode Rime Shank as many times as you can and the problem goes away. At most you reset until Spicebrush Yi Sang start with a skill 3. Whereas getting talisman to start off takes quite a bit of luck, not only in the skills but also turn order.

I think I will get sinking team then. It already has good support E.G.O, and they can add a couple more Sinking ID's, so it will be good. Also who knows, maybe they will add content with super OP enemies with sanity, and it will be handy.

Go for sinking. The whole 'talisman rupture' stuff is not worth the effort of trying to get a certain amount of talismans before you get nuked by said talisman, or the amount of times you have to restart just to get blue and orange skills, or getting screwed by green res passive that gives him more talisman on an enemy with rupture.

Huh, I just realised we have only 3 truly good Sinking ID's (Molar Ish/Spice Sang/Dieci Lu). What you guys use for other 3 sinners?

Dieci Rodya is pillar on pair with Spice Sang. (With Rime of course)

Dieci Hong Lu is just a sinking flavoured unga bunga ID

I meant who else I can bring, so it won't be cringe (Suncliff ahem Mariachi ahem)

[DEMOPLS]

Spicebush, Molar Ish, Dieci Rodya are the only units you need. Cinq Don is pretty good as she fuels her own fluid sac but honestly you can run anyone else you want

[jobhobster]

I see. Too bad Dieci Sang is Sang. But I guess we have enough time to see another 1-2 Sinking ID's before any major content

Pretty much this --- with the un-stated T4 Rime Shank.

I usually have T4 Regret Faust as well for that sweet easy S2/S3 AoE.
