Rules Normal and Hard

Rules Very Hard

Recommended Units

Suggested Accessories Builds

GQ Keypoints

• Character Choices
  • If possible, you should ALWAYS bring units that match the corresponding killer rule. They have a x3 or x5 damage multiplier.
  • Top Tier SA Lead such as Zanka Yamamoto (Power) could be helpful even as off-killer lead.
  • +30% Off-killer booster can be more effective than an old booster if you have good/strong assist unit
• Status effects
  • For Damage Optimisation consider Weaken units, Weaken add a 1.5x damage multiplier when effect is active but be careful in GQ duration of Weaken is halved
  • For Crowd Control consider Freeze/Paralysis it would stop mobs dealing damage to you, allowing you to maintain full stamina damage boost run more easily
  • Burn/Lacerate/Poison DoT are nerfed in this game mode. However if you have such units consider to give them Dx bonus (Damage to X, X being Ailment they inflict)
• Transcendence This game mode requires transcendence to clear and to make it easy.
• Team set-up Ideal team set-ups:
  • Fastest is 3x SP units (5/5 units)
  • Vortex Leader can greatly increase the effectiveness of NA assist units
  • You can also run 1 or 2 NAD units.
• Building your Lead SP unit
  • < 20s You can start to build for Nuke strat with FSD/SAD links
  • < 30s You should have a combination of FSD/SAR and SAD/SAR build to maximize damage multiplier
  • > 30s You might need more consistent damage and SAD/SAR (eventually with one LDS) could help you if there no Crowd Control effect in your team
• Building your supports

1. < 20s Your booster will not need SAR, > 30s it will likely need so you can boost multiple time
2. If you don't have crowd control unit you might want some LDS/NAD link such as (S) Tatsuki as link
3. If you are sure that your unit will survive you can pick full NAD, if you are sure they can keep full life then FSD/NAD build will push their damage. Ultimately if you are sure they will survive but reach quickly low stam you could consider LSD/NAD

• Boost For this week, Boost depends on your team composition. It's not mandatory, but it's nice.

HARD GQ - Additional Keypoints

1. Hard GQ is hard. You'd need a squad of 2/5 transcended for clearing. LS20 makes it a whole lot easier.
2. You could run triple MT units for Hard GQ if you have good recent SA Units (LS20). Otherwise, best team seems to be SP lead, one NAD bot for tanky DPS, one Booster (SP or NA, with LDS), or SP Lead, one NAD booster, and one support bot.
3. There are limited boosters for this week. If you don't have a decent one, consider off-killer booster.
4. If you're taking longer than 20s to clear, then consider having your booster with SAR or LDS to either upkeep the attacks (if SP) or to reset boost. Upkeeping boost makes a big difference.
5. Build your SP lead with Sticker, Pill, Teaset, with a combination of SASAD and FSD. You can also consider LSD/SAR and LDS/LSD as potential here (You can't die from poison).
6. When your team is strong enough to clear in under 20s, then you can consider a Tenshintai based build, with Tenshintai, Sticker and SP+50% accessory. This gives you an opportunity to use your Special Move as a viable SA. Further, this can be combined with a NAD synch (effecting a Damage Pierce).
7. NAD bots: Depending on the ATK inherited (see build guide link above), the third accessory of choice changes between Hollow Bait and Sticker, with Golden Chappy and Chappy being the two high preference accessories. If you don't have GC, the second best build is Chappy, Hollow Bait, Sticker (with lots of link slots).

VERY HARD GQ - Additional Keypoints

1. Very hard is the newest difficulty therefore it will require units far more strengthened than before
2. Boosters will be mandatory to get NA units able to break the threshold and SA units less impacted by Bosses DEF. If you don't have a matching killer booster, consider +30% off-killer booster.
3. Nuke Strat is no longer possible in this game mode with the addition of wave change enemy invincible time of 2.5s
4. The more multipliers you have the more damage you will do FSD/SAD/Dx is today a combination easy to get, with the SM somewhat nerfed it will probably be more effective to drop FSD/WD for FSD/Dx instead
5. Your assists might need at least one LDS, so one NAD/LDS and SALDS.
6. Leading unit will perform better with WD, and assists with D(x) matching either lead ailment or their own

• Your lead unit is likely going to be mandatory
  • T3/5 Lv10 SP/FCS/ATK LS20+FSD SP>D(x)>WD
  • 50% SP item, sticker, pill (90% SP)
  • SASAD, SAFSD(LSD depending your gameplay)
  • And with good Crowd Control
• Your NA assists unit likely going to need
  • MT+2/3★ATK LS15/20+FSD FSD(or LSD depending your gameplay) ATK>D(x)
  • GChappy, Chappy, Bait (90% ATK)
  • NAD/FSD(or LSD) link
  • Boost unit is nearly mandatory with most uptime possible so with some SAR build
• Your SA assists unit likely going to need
  • MT+2/3★SP LS15/20+FSD and ATK>D(x) (either synergized with Lead or their own ailment)
  • 50% SP item, sticker, pill (90% SP)
  • SASAD, SAFSD(LSD depending your gameplay)
