Depends on how you wanna beat the fight, if you cannot skip the shield gimmick bring blunt to break Quequeegs shield and someone like K corp Hong Lu or cinq Outis to tank Ahabs attacks. If you wanna rush Ahab bring pierce and pride and powerful pierce E.G.O, Ahab will heal to full and unstagger after you first stagger her so you need to deal a lot of damage to essentially stagger her twice in a row to prevent her from activating the redirecting attack gimmick on turn 3.

There has been plenty of threads on that subject already. You can look it up there. But looking at your team corp, it's kinda ♥♥♥♥. Pick something like Cinq Sinq and Rabbit Heart. Instead of Wcorp take N Faust and give Gregor Legerdemain, paralys can realy help in this fight. First two turns is kill Starbucks.

I guess if you just want to fight it semi-normally like I did (the only abnormal thing was my choice in tank), then the general team setup was: Cpt. Ishmael, K-Corp Hong Lu, R-Corp Heathcluff, W-Corp Don, W-Corp Ryoshu and Cinq Sinclair. (So, a lot of pierce and some W-Corp nukes, basically.)

The main strategy generally was:
1> Kill Starbucks in turns 1-2 (preparing a W-Corp nuke + other nuke skills helps a lot). Consider ignoring some other enemy attacks here if they're low-damage.

2> Whenever Ahab is vulnerable, target her, ignore Quee unless she's doing something notably damaging during this phase (like multi-hitters or if her target is weak to Pierce). Ahab will revive once when at <50% HP, even if staggered.

3> Have Hong Lu tank intercept Ahab's Marks whenever she uses attacks that apply them, with Starbucks dead, he should be able to survive and resurrect from just Ahab's frenzied attacks. (His passive only triggers once per turn I presume. You probably want to largely avoid using his defend skill as it applies serum, he will auto-apply the K-Corp serum himself on revival, and 4 stacks of it kills him.)

While she's protected, just throw away your garbage attacks at Quee to dispose of them - don't waste good attacks, she's nigh-unkillable, gets waaaaay too much Shield and the fight ends anyway once Ahab dies.

Took me like 12 turns to take her out that way (in total, including the preliminary fight). Pain in the ass but atleast it has a fair succes rate without relying too much on RNG. Even came out largely unscathed (no losses or huge HP losses - which helped on the fight thereafter).

Kong's passive can trigger several times a turn, at least when I tired solo md with him. Hopefully with uptie 5 he will get even more unkillable.

[CarThief]

Hm, well, if it can trigger his revival multiple times a turn, it still didn't save him from being utterly turn apart when he was gangb- uh, teamed up on by all three of them at once... :P
(Or atleast two of them while the other defended... Though they do get a blanket +50% DMG buff due to the mark...)

Guess it's strong, but not invincible... Though seems like a tall tale if he can take an entire enemy team solo... (Or very luck-based in any case.)
