Best DPS formations
Just wondering that late tier 6 event objectives are now requiring about e400 above. I've recruited most of tier 6 crusaders for now.
Are there are best formations you have to break through the level walls?

Don't underestimate the power of Mindy copying abilities or the power of Tiernan / Mycall and Langley propagating abilities. Especially if you can get the item that they each have to boost their key ability to golden legendary. You get buffs from them applied at a stronger rate than the original buffs that they're copying or passing along, and this applies when chaining abilities between each other as well. Of course that means that the trick becomes about placing the DPS character in a spot where they don't receive the buffs directly from the original characters and instead only receive buffs as indirectly as possible.

Personally I find this buff really really REALLY annoying to rely on, but a key component of dealing with Tiernan is his Lost Souls ability, which translates your gold find into a global DPS boost while the Gold-O-Rama ability is active. This means that a character from Gold Panda's seat needs to be part of the formation so that you can use Gold-O-Rama. But between Tiernan and Mindy copying Tiernan, this buff can prove to be HUGE. Of course this point is irrelevant if you're working with a formation that's shaped in a way that Tiernan's propagation isn't useful and you have to consider using Mycall for propagation instead.

I don't usually follow along with what's being tested and proven to be the best of the best out there, but I think Jialong is still the pick for top DPS? But don't let that stop you from experimenting with whichever DPS character you'd like to build a formation around.

Jialong has some randomness to him with the placement of the pools from his River Guardian ability, but it is possible to propagate the pools and cover more spaces with them. (Pools boost the global DPS buffs of whichever characters are in them.)

I haven't been making use of tag-spreading (Evanescent / Odile) myself but that seems to be a popular choice among the number crunching optimization experts. Spread the tags to where they can get propagated around to maximize the ability's coverage and then have characters in the formation with buffs that scale up based on the number of whichever specific tag.

tl;dr
Mindy, Tiernan / Mycall, & Langley are key support crusaders. Tiernan's Lost Souls needs Gold Panda's Gold-o-Rama to activate.
Jiaolong & Evanescent / Odile were popular Crusaders for Optimization Experts.

Got it and gonna test it, Thanks.
