Idle Heroes: Filthy F2P clearing Fortress SL24+25 with a "somewhat" cracked SFX (literally 1.7m atk)
2cleared 21-23 in a whim because of how easy it is, suddenly thought that it could be milked for content so there you go. Melodic SFX btw.
(what a naive fucker he thought that melodic is better than punisher+Balanced Strike in solo SL, lmao)
==================
Post stream timestamps:
1.7m attack SFX lmao
24-2 and 24-3 is piss easy just don't even lmao how could you even fail to clear it with a SFX that strong lmao
=======================
general note for 24-4 onwards:
- Crit/Spd for whole run because crit removes RNG bullshit, deals more damage and helps with Balance Strike for survivability.
- must be faster than the whole enemy team or else your SFX will become the protagonist in a hardcore tentacle hentai, as in: fucked in every single aspect
- don't even care about CCI lmao as long as you don't get double-CC'd in a round (which is very unlikely since all enemies' basic Horrifies and active Freezes AND they're going to sync everything up because how tf could you give them energy with a single, lone SFX lmao
- when in doubt about healing, Balanced Strike tf outta it, your SFX has enough HP to tank all the enemies for a round and she deals way too many damage AND has a 100% Crit rate with a Punisher anyways. when in doubt about damage, switch to Block imprint for extra damage+healing+tank damage because Impeccable Flow is nuts AND double your basic's damage (not active because the fucking mages steals your energy or some shit)
=====================
(06:06) SL24-4 clear
still ez, 2-3 tries is max
(29:40) SL25-1 clear
Suprising lack of damage since the enemies are extremely tanky or maybe THEY STEAL ALL OF YOUR FUCKING ENERGY so no active. Cleared with 1* Punisher (and not a Splend Harp for fucks' sake), Crit/Crit Damage/Block imprints. Literally 155% Crit Dmg and 101% Crit Chance AND extra blocks for a fuckton of Imp Flow is barely enough for this shit. Balance Strike meta ftw. also idk whether it requires Holmes to literally doves 3 enemies or not, but seems like that isn't necessary. Holmes with DB though a MS would do, and a V4 Holmes wwould definitely do. Holmes OP.
(32:11) SL25-2 clear.
Way easier than the previous stage when the RNG lines up. Cleared with 1* Punisher (again like what the fuck), Crit/CritDamage/DR imprints and Balanced Strike, yet again. Tbh Punisher for endgame content is best kept at 1* because 10% of the enemies' HP is already way more than 2500% of SFX' attack. Considering the amount of actives, a R4 kill followed by a Phoenix Impeccable active is easy to replicate/occur (given that your SFX has high enough Attack, that is). Overall not difficult at all, only some mild RNG included
(34:28) SL25-3 clear
At this point I should change the title of the fuckin video into "Clearing SL24+25 but why the fuck is 1* Punisher viable". Still the same comp, but with CCI instead. Didn't know that the chance of you getting CC'd to death when your speed is higher than the enemies is near zero prior to 25-4 clear so took 3 tries. If I had run DR instead, it would've been 1, pretty much.
(45:44) SL25-4 clear
Okay finally Melodic managed to do some shit. Boss is really fast (around 2020 speed or something) so I had to run Vitality. 1 Vitality is enough to outspeed the boss so there's that. SFX's dodge makes the boss kinda just disappear entirely from the battlefield. Tried UW+DR, didn't work. DR+BalStrike, doesn't work. Block+CritDamge+BStrike, literally as far away from defensive as possible....worked? Seriously? Why?
oh yeah I suppose that the lineup for 25-4 could be used for 25-3 as well, it seems.
Holmes literally CCing the entire frontline (main threat) seems like a major factor as well, but ah well.
===========
TL:DR: Punisher good for stages, Balanced Strike is godly for 1-Trans SL clear, Harp good for bosses, CCI isn't important as long as you're faster than the enemies.
