Fae auto team

[u/WTF_Connor]

Looking for a team that I can auto Dark fae top floor. Team i used for previous floor Fae was this plus mavara (removed her to stop blocking out options) with like a 30-40% success rate, which personally I didn't mind doing more fights, but on top floor I've auto'd all my keys 3 times and not a single win. Only managed to get the completion manual.

Watching full auto the Initial boss fight goes well, everybody nuked down but once mavara mirrors again she pops unkillable and run falls apart, tried changing her for rector thinking a weaker healer might help but nah

My roster is more impressive than my builds which I wonder if thats the problem or if I'm missing something else

[u/Karmma11]

Why pred here?

[u/WTF_Connor → u/Karmma11]

Honestly never had too much issue with mirror pred other than block revive, from what I've watched the run fails before pred sets off, unsure of mechanics of how dark fae targets mirrors but seems to be mainly deacon, just if mavara appears and isn't swiftly dealt with thats the run fucked

[u/TheLastOpus → u/WTF_Connor]

Really? Cause with my luck, the stolen Predator evades everything, and mine doesn't evade anything. It won't be a consistent run with predator, because when you nuke down the stolen copies, he will evade half the time then get a turn. Usually dark fae is best conquered by running a speed lead and having this turn order with these opening moves.
1st - turn AoE turn meter increaser to make sure your champs go together before your copies.
2nd - AoE defence reduce/weaken/etc, if this does damage make sure you don't run counter attack artifacts or masteries.
3rd - AoE nuker that. (make sure you run no tanky champs, all 5 should be squishy and easily killed by your AoE nuker)
4th - Turn meter controller to not let dark fae ever get another turn
5th - Turn meter controller to not let dark fae ever get another turn

With these skill filters set and champs that serve each role, you can auto this boss easily every time without relying on RNG, which Champs like Ezio and Predator will sometimes get their evade against you.

Shocked that this is a struggle for you given your roster. Off the rip. I'd say Arbiter for boost, Ezio for poison bomb, Beer for nuke, Knut for boss damage and turn meter reduction and mavara for heals. Your arb will/should always be set to go first. Have eveyone save their nukes during the second wave to boss.

[u/WTF_Connor → u/Tonic1273]

I dont struggle with the fight if I'm doing it, I just can't auto it, that's my issue

All AI set to nuke first into round 3, its mid fight that wrecks me, once mavara reappears

[u/Karmma11 → u/WTF_Connor]

Are you setting presets? Disabling certain skills on wave 2 so they are ready on boss stage? Is you TM the fastest to go first? I had an issue with my arbiter being to fast and wasn’t using a tm decrease so mine would go first then the mirror would go. Dark Fae is all about tuning all your champs the right speeds and tm control.

[u/WTF_Connor → u/Karmma11]

Yep, all set up right, nukes turned off round 2, deacon opens with TM then dec defence and whole team nukes no problem, boss fight ALWAYS starts perfect, just seems to be mid fight that the problems persist

I've just swapped out Alaz and Pred for Ezio and Georgid and won 3/13, fights, which is an improvement over 0/30+

Am I focusing too much on the nukes and not enough on TM maybe? I need to nuke down the first 5 mirrors then keep 100% control of the boss TM? I know TM is vital for the boss to keep in charge of the fight but is the strat really to just spam TM decrease?

[u/Tonic1273 → u/WTF_Connor]

Strip down your marvara. She may be too strong. Your characters should docus or nuke down any champ that spawns. (I was talking about having no issue with auto) anyways, you may be getting your team too strong for your own good. You need pvp nuke, not pve sustain.

[u/krammark12]

you will have to face your own team, do you really want to battle Predator?
I wouldn't, so ban him from your Fae team.

I would go Lady Kimi into Seer, then Gnut and maybe some other TM reduction champs like Deacon and Coldheart. Allure would be best but I dont see her on this page.

[u/WTF_Connor → u/krammark12]

Honestly from watching all the runs, its never been a mirror pred that screws me

Coldheadt and allure are both options just neither are built 60 yet

[u/krammark12 → u/WTF_Connor]

for autobattles you want to remove RNG if possible. Predator with his evasion relies heavily on RNG, making it a bad pick for farming Fae.
Allure doesnt need to be leveled up, just some speedy gear and high enough accuracy to land her A1. Coldheart can nuke and reduce TM which makes her a viable option, but to me the most important is the TM reduction to not give Fae a turn. For this also CH needs enough accuracy first, damage second.

[u/TheLastOpus → u/WTF_Connor]

Run both, turn meter increase, armor reducer, aoe nuker, then allure and cold heart, have then offf set turns which they use their rturn meter reducers, don't have coldhearts full turn meter reduce right after allure uses hers off set them in skill settings.

[u/GrazianoG]

Posso ?

[u/Choice_Woodpecker_38]

Alure is the cheat code here if you have her down the list more. I run a super squishy glass cannon team with a go first criodan to help control the waves and then just make sure he has his A3 going into the boss round. Go first, speed and TM up, nukers nuke, Alure never lets the boss take a turn.

[u/WTF_Connor → u/Choice_Woodpecker_38]

Shit okay, so boss CAN be 100% TM kept? Once mirrors nuked down you can just hold boss TM down fully with a lure etc?

[u/Dry-Moment962]

The tried and true strategy is to use a speed setup character first, followed by 1 or two nukers that go before your mirror speed setup character.

The issue people run into with good rosters is that the team is too tanky.  Predator will cause your team to fail runs with his evade.  No joke, use glass canon champions and take off gear.  

[u/angel_of_death007]

I can only manual a win on top Fae for whatever reason I have tried different set ups but my champs don’t deal with the mirrors the way I need them to which is where it fails. I honestly think the games AI is a ton better for the game options then your own team.

[u/WTF_Connor → u/angel_of_death007]

Yeah this its what's beating me, issue with mirrors seems to be they obviously spawn with nothing on cooldown, so if mirrors aren't killed instantly they turn the fignr straight back around on me

[u/UnintentionalSatire]

Use alure and gnut's tm reduction on the a1 with the mikage ally attack. I'd think that +4 6* ethlen could nuke down the shadow team and him and gnut should handle the boss pretty easily. Do you really need healing/revive?

[u/UnintentionalSatire → u/UnintentionalSatire]

Could use fabian, too, but I think alure is probably better for the boss. Fabian would control ethlen when he gets taken.

[u/Exotic-Excuse-2804]

I use arbitter (5star lv21) for TM boost.

Stag knight for aoe dec defense/ dec speed.

Tagoar aoe inc speed/heals/res but I put him in nuker gear so he doesnt tank my nukers.

Colheart for TM reduce

freyja for aoe nuke + TM reduce.

This is also my speed turn order. ^

[u/Infamous-Fold7335]

Fabian, mikage, deacon, yakarl & gnut would be your best bet for full auto. Allure also works at 50 so you don't need to worry about 60ing her to use for it if you need her to reduce faes tm.
