    Interesting, but I find it really hard to justify a spot for those kinds of units. Mono-element teams are just too niche. Which is really too bad because I pulled one too

    i did Double Grah 6* lead,
    Colt, crit
    Claire, spark BC buff
    Kikuri, BC on hit,
    Elimo (use Drevas, or Dandgela+Refined Gem).

    and cleared it first try. Just make sure you are aware of thresholds,

    When I did it, I used one grah first for light/dark buffs, then Colt, then the other Grah to replace Colt's 5BC/Turn for Grah's 6BC/Turn. I can't remember if she does any status ailments, so if she does make sure to toss on a refined gem or Drevas on Elimo since Leader Skill null might not help when she locks Leader Skills for one of her thresholds.

    You didn't use any mitigator? What did you do for the Endless you are normally supposed to use Magress UBB on?

    Elimo, and for Glorious (which people used Magress to reduced), I just bursted her down. Kikuri, Claire, Colt, and Double Grah with Light buffs did enough damage to take her second form from 90% down to 70%, then 50% down to 20%.

    For the second form, when she was around 92ish%, I just would normal attack everyone, saving their SBB. Once she hits the threshold, her next turn she won't attack and will just say something. Then I would unleash all my SBB on her, Except Elimo because Zeva's next turn wouldn't do damage either, just drain BB. Then the next turn I would fire off BB if available or normal attack and usually that was enough to break her Glorious cycle, which she would skip and just heal herself with a HoT skill.

    For the second threshold, when she was about 51-52% I would activate Claire's OD, regular attack everyone so she'd hit 50% and start her next Glorious cycle (Charge phase). UBB with Claire, SBB everyone else, attack with Elimo (Zeva BB drains). BB everyone if available, attack with Elimo (Zeva boosts own defense). Hope your next round attacks takes her below 20% (she'll not do Glorious) , if still over 20% she'll Glorious.

    God I love her. The other thing you can do to survive Glorious, although it's kinda dumb, you need more than 80% mitigation to survive. Since it does a fixed amout of damage (500% HP for each unit), defense boosts wont help you. You can, however, equip everyone with a Dark Mail sphere for an extra 5% mitigation. Double Grah lead (30%), Regular Mitigation (50%), and the sphere (5%) will let you survive no problem lol.

    Holy crap, Karma LVL 3 dungeon was mad EXP (and Karma). Mixed it in while doing Cordelica quests, and when I would just about level, it would push me half way, or more, into the next level. I think I netted around 10 levels, this afternoon/evening.

    Monday's level 3 Karma dungeon is the best exp/energy ratio (368) in the game, 90% of the time. That 10% of the time it's not is when they offer 2x exp on maps.

    Monday is the day to grind like hell for exp, especially for the people who are like "I'm only level 50, but I have four 7* units I can't use wahhhhhh". Gumi WANTS you to grind, that's the whole point of this game lol.

    Still working on stock-piling gems, for whenever the next summon event comes around, and the Karma is nice. Felt it was the best of all worlds, atm.

    Speaking of grind, Madia is kicking my ass, so far, and I may run out of Holy Waters, which means I'll have to grind those Blue drops.

    I think I used your Maxwell, earlier, but didn't quite get her down. Irvis has the status immunity, but I dunno about how well she can take hits; could use dark seals. Also, I noticed she's got a refined gem equipped, but doesn't her leader skill negates status ailments?

    Aye, she can, and did, but no drop. Can't wait to get her leveled up and starred, for my own use.

    Appreciate the help on this last one, and the ones before. I'll need some help, putting together a team, once she drops.

    I usually don't have her as leader.

    No worries; I caught her, on my fifth win, so it's all good.

    Now, regarding a party makeup, here are the units I have to work with:

    Selena (4*) Lord
    Lario (4*) Anima
    Luna (3*) Lord
    Elulu (4*) Guardian
    Freya (4*) Anima
    Eliza (4*) Breaker
    Zele (4*) Breaker
    Paula (4*) Guardian
    Sola (4*) Lord
    Madia (4*) Guardian

    I also have the Healer Girls, and they are all max BB and 3*s.

    What's the best party I should be focusing on, for now? Lario and Zele seem to perform as my best units, so far, but that splits any leader bonus, from Madia/Sola. The only Sybil unit I couldn't properly level would be Paula, right now, but the others I could at least max their 4* versions. I do have 5 Metal Keys, so I could get any color exp unit that's recommended. With the current event, I might even be able to get all the mats to get everyone to the next tier level.

    What level are you and how many gems do you have?

    Edit. I see you are level 54. So you should have a mifune and lario. It might be time to do some pulls.

    Yeah, you should have gotten a breaker-type Mifune from the achievement store from the level up campaign goals. Hopefully you did not fuse him away or sell him on accident! But if you did, it's ok. You could always farm up another one from the dark area of St. Lamia and other higher quest maps. Lizeria's Black Bridge area is a popular place people try to farm him.

    If you want, you could do some pulls, but at least do five to get the one free unit. Then again, with Gumi's track record, after this Friday, they might do a couple different rare summon events. One, they'll do a rate up of specific elements (not worthwhile at all). Two, rate ups of certain roles (decent, since you can pull for roles you lack like a unit that does 50% damage mitigation on their BB/SBB). Three, popular units rate up (this is a good one to pull during). The final rate up they could possibly do is for Altri, Will, Oulu, and maybe two more SBS Units because they'll be getting 7* forms sometime soon. I wouldn't pull during that time, for you at least.

    Keep at grinding EXP for those summoner levels. The higher your level, the higher your team cost is, the more friends you can have, and more energy to use to grind

    I have the Mifune, uncollected, from the Achievement section, though I had forgotten about him. I'd probably have pulled him down, except for my unit space is packed full, from accidentally receiving a bunch of achievement units.

    I have almost 60 gems right now, but I'm holding off until a good summon event comes around, hence why I'm asking about a squad, with current units listed. This will let me use my current crystal stock to free up inventory to either summon or stock up on some evo mats, during the current event.

    BTW, speaking of summon events, I was reading Reddit about a 3 gem summon gate/event, but nobody here has talked about it. Is it a JP BF version only thing, or are we going to be getting it anytime soon?

    Also, what's the best way to use metal keys? Is it the Super Metal Parade God zone, that takes 3 keys? I've read that's more efficient since Crystal drops are decent, vs the 60 Energy Mega Metal Parade.

    I usually do the 3 metal keys, I make sure I'm close to leveling so I can get the most run in as possible.
