[Bonsai Beginner’s weekly thread –2023 week 12]

Welcome to the weekly beginner’s thread. This thread is used to capture all beginner questions (and answers) in one place. We start a new thread every week on Friday late or Saturday morning (CET), depending on when we get around to it. We have a 6 year archive of prior posts here…
Here are the guidelines for the kinds of questions that belong in the beginner's thread vs. individual posts to the main sub.

Rules:

• POST A PHOTO if it’s advice regarding a specific tree/plant. See the PHOTO section below on HOW to do this.
• TELL US WHERE YOU LIVE - better yet, fill in your flair.
• READ THE WIKI! – over 75% of questions asked are directly covered in the wiki itself. Read the WIKI AGAIN while you’re at it.
• Read past beginner’s threads – they are a goldmine of information.
• Any beginner’s topic may be started on any bonsai-related subject.
• Answers shall be civil or be deleted
• There is always a chance your question doesn’t get answered – try again next week…
• Racism of any kind is not tolerated either here or anywhere else in /bonsai

Photos

• Photos may also be posted to /bonsaiphotos as new LINK (either paste your photo or choose it and upload it). Then click your photo, right click copy the link and post the link here.
  • If you want to post multiple photos as a set that only appears be possible using a mobile app (e.g. Boost)

Beginners’ threads started as new topics outside of this thread are typically locked or deleted, at the discretion of the Mods.

Sooo, I know this topic has been beaten to shreds in forums across the board, but I'm still looking for closure.
I want to preface this with saying that I've never owned an automatic vehicle in the 9 years I've been driving. I consider myself experienced with manuals and have even spent track days rowing my own gears and playing footsie with the pedals.
I've owned my '18 premium for about 16 months now. I love everything about it except for the goddamned smooth drivability factor. Stock, it was a jerky, soul-crushing pain in the ass. Rev hang and throttle response was possibly the worst I have ever felt, along with a clutch that's often vague and engages really quickly. Overall it made driving around the city a nightmare and I winced every time I pulled off an intersection.
After about 6 months, I said screw the warranty and bought an AP. Stage 1 tune helps a bit. Not as much Rev hang and certainly better throttle, but I still only shift smooth 7/10 times. In order to even do that, I have to be pretty focused or completely in sync with the car (usually when I'm carving canyons).
The problem for me boils down to these factors:
First, the gas pedal. Stock, it was super vague and really touchy. Stage 1, less so, but I find if I give it 5% input, I get hardly any RPM. 10% input and suddenly I'm getting 1.7K. This makes it incredibly hard to modulate a quick start and makes me look like I bought a sports car just to be beaten at the light by a corolla that's barely trying. Of course, I can take my sweet ass time to shift, riding the clutch, but I feel like the whole experience should be more intuitive than that.
Secondly, clutch feel. Now I know there's nothing to be done about the clutch for the most part, since it handles AWD and 280 hp. However it engages close to the floor and is equally hard to modulate. A clutch stop came up in my research, but I fear that I may be inviting clutch wear by not allowing full disengagement if I opted for one.
There are a couple of things I noticed about the car. When under 130 degrees, it feels awful. Once heated up, it gets smoother, but still awful. When I'm shifting like a maniac, the car keeps up for the most part. Why can't it do so just driving around the city?
So that leaves me with very few options. Is there a tune out there that maps throttle even better than the stage 1 cobb? And does stage 2, cobb or not, make the car any smoother? Has anyone tried a pedal commander in sync with the AP to better tune throttle response?
Is anyone else still considering jumping off a bridge after dropping $1k+ trying to make this amazing car drive like its supposed to?

Skinwalkers in Rural Michigan
I recently purchased a 10,000 lumen flashlight to illuminate the surrounding woods as I walk my dog in the evenings. I have been hearing some strange noises at night, and I figured it would be nice to see everything that boxes me in as I walk Max, my dog. But boy was I wrong. I should have been afraid of what can't be seen outside the veils of my iphone flashlight. What was to be exhumed by my flashlight terrified me to my core. This happened a week or so ago, November, 2nd 2022, Harrison Michigan. The evenings were approaching abruptly now. It was only 8:30pm when I decided to take my golden retriever on one last shit walk before I got settled in for the night. At this time, in rural Michigan at least, it’s pitch black. I cursed underneath my breath as I opened the door and peered out. Fuck, chilly and dark. God, why haven’t I moved south yet? Max was timid this evening, which was so really unlike him. Very strange. The darkness emanating from outside my house poured in like a disease. It was void of any color. Upset about not replacing my porch light, I pulled out my new amazon special, this week it was a 10,000 lumen flashlight. Feeling its expensive metallic body in my hands felt exonerating, and the excitement to use it overthrew any bad vibes Max was giving. He whimpered as soon as the door opened, he then put his tail between his legs and shivered. I scoffed at his weak tendencies here, this was so unlike him. I turned this ungodly bright flashlight on and showed it forward. “For fuck sake look Max, nothing to be afraid of y-” I was cut off. My mouth gaped at what was in front of me. Shown in the powerful beam of the flashlight was a contorted lanky humanoid figure. It slumped down from a standing position and got on all fours like a person miming a frog. Then it jerked its head up and sniffed the air. Animistically. It turned its head and bored its stare right into my eyes. Then it darted into a bush on the edge of the woods. The edge of the woods that surround my entire house. I heard leaves crackle and watched the skin colored creature dissipate into them. I focused the beam of my light directly onto that bush. It was incredibly bright and the bush appeared like high definition from the immense light, especially in contrast to the oily blackness that surrounded me. The bush shaked ominously, like a predator was inside, shifting around. A familiar feminine voice came from that bush. “Please help me… oh god please help… help… help mee…” And the leaves rustled again. Max whimpered in terror and got between my legs. I grabbed the baseball bat that I kept beside the front door for just such occasions and held it beside my head in a “ready to whoop” gesture, the other hand on my flashlight. I shakily started towards the bush from my door. Max bolted inside, leaving me completely alone. “Helllppppp meee” the voice cooed. The soft feminine coo of the voice crackled a little this time. Yeah, almost as if something was masquerading as a female, and luring me in. I was about 6 feet away by now, I could feel the blood pulsating in my temples. Goosh flesh ran down my body. “Helllpp,” deeper voice “Meeee!” An elongated ashy white arm flung towards me at ankle height. I instinctively stomped down on it. I heard cracking and sloshing from underneath my shoe. I stepped directly onto its wrist. I heard a shriek from inside the depths of that bush and the hand sprung up like a trap being set off. The strength possessed by this creature was unreal, it slung me to the ground and began to reel me into its bush where it resided. I screamed, smacked the arm with the bat as hard as I could and then lost control of the bat. It fell next to me as I was dragged closer to the bush, now my feet were inside the leafy abyss. The voice turned into my mothers voice. The clawed hands grasp on me tightened with tremendous strength and the nails dug into my skin through my pants. “Help me Nathaniel. Your mother needs help. I can't walk.” Yeah alright. I shined my light into the bush. What I saw still makes me tremble. It was my dead mothers face there alright, but atop an ashy white skinned humanoid skeleton with backward joints. The arms bent unnaturally opposite of how they should, the legs were bent like a frogs ready to pounce. The eyes were milky white, but were extremely intelligent and they gazed into my consciousness. With all of my force, I horse kicked my deceased mothers face and heard a massive crunch as my heel connected with her masqueraded nose. A profane yelp of pain blasted into the darkness of this B.F.E. where I lived. The grip on my leg loosened just enough from the blow for me to break free. I shot upright and turned to the door. I dropped my flashlight in this madness and couldn’t give a shit less. It could keep it for all I fucking cared. I bolted towards the door, and as I reached the halfway point I was Illuminated by a blinding bright light from behind. Almost like a spotlight beamed right onto me. My. Fucking. God. That thing had my flashlight and was pointing it directly at me. “Helpp… Nathaniel. Help me son.” The light started to bob up and down. Whatever was holding it was lurking closer and closer to me, and was gaining on me much faster than I was to the door. So much for not being able to walk. I ended up winning the foot race miraculously. I jumped inside my door and slammed it behind me. I heard a loud thump into the door immediately following its closure. My mothers late voice came again, beckoning me. “Son. You know your mother has taught you better than this. Let me in. Please, my son.” The light shone through the window at me, blinding me. Seeing spots and now disoriented, I fumbled myself up and managed to lock the door. Max was at the furthest point possible from the door, glaring at the door trembling in fear. Three solid knocks from the top of the door frame. Then the light was gone and I heard a metallic clunk, the thing must have dropped the flashlight on its retreat. The light now was gleaming off a huge tree. I watched a tall skinny humanoid creature with long contorted ligaments jerkily run towards that tree. His legs bent opposite of how our legs do, and same with the arms. Then it bent down in the same erratic way that it moved, and got onto all fours as it approached the tree. It paused a second and peered up the trunk. His head swiftly snapped to my face. Its now black and sunken eyes stared into my soul. I froze in terror as it climbed that trunk, with its face directly bored into me mind you, like squirrel. Scurrying right up it, never leaving contact with my eyes. The light undoubtedly should be blinding his vision, but the sense of intelligence of it knowing my existence was uncanny. Light didnt hurt it. As it ascended it smiled at me, a predatory grin. It disappeared into a purple dot that was still in my vision from when I was blinded by the flashlight. As I moved my head to try to see the creature, I watched tree leaves russell and saw no more of it. Yet. I locked the doors that night and cleaned up Max’s accidents from not going out. At night as I was asleep, I was awoken by my mothers soft voice from right outside the bedroom window. “Let me in Nathaniel..” Then directly following this motherly imitation came a 10,000 lumen flashlight beamed into my face. I heard the window slowly open, but I was blinded by the light.

Hello there,
I've enoyed the tv show somewhat, but struggle to make sense with the story arc of the crows and their quest to capture Alina. I haven't read the books. Some of the information is only shown to the audience in the 2nd season, here is how I understand it:

1. prince Nikolai is stuck on the other side of the fold, he wants to ally with the Sun Summoner.
2. In order to do this he hires Dreesen as a midle man to hire somebody to caputre Alina
3. The crows get the job from Dreesen and go to capture Alina.
4. Now luckily the crows are 'nice' gangsters, and luckily they fail, they become friends with Alina.
5. Nikolai uses the information from the failed capture attempt and becomes friends with Alina.
6. They save the world.

Thats the quick summary. My problem is: This Quest the crows are put on, is a major pillar of the story. And it is utterly stupid: First of all, did Nikolai explain to Dreesen that he wants Alina unharmed? Did Dreesen forward that very specific limitation of the capture attempt to the crows? Because, what would've happend, if the crows succeeded, or if another gangster group who isn't as friendly as the crows were put on the job?
What did Nikolai expect how this would go?
So he hires some gangster, they take the sun Summoner hostage. Consequently the Sun Summoner is inquired, tied up, blindfolded by some gangsters, delivered to Nikolai in a trunk. During that travel time time Alina is afraid for her life, she would think maybe they are going to torture, rape or kill her, sell her as a slave, whatever. And then he opens the trunk and says 'Haha, surprise, I actually want to be your friend, come lets save the world together, you can trust me, lets go!'
Thats just fucking stupid. Did I miss something?
edit Ok, seems I used the spoiler tags incorrectly, how can I solve that?

Hi! I'm gonna be DMing a group of 6 later today I'm running an Alternate Timeline Arasaka where my group are the team. I've spent maybe 2 weeks so far going over RED with what used to be the groups forever DM (for 5e). Even with that though I still have a few questions: 1. Is there a Max Rank for solo's? I'm running the campaign with a lot of leeway so far (I've had my players give me light backstories and assigned points for Complete Packages off that, I also waived the 10 point limit.) And with how I didn't see a Max Rank for Solo I gave my Solo Player 15 Rank because as I understand that means he has 15 points to allocate in combat. 2. Is there anything in the RED book that wouldn't particularly Translate well to 2077 or Vice Versa? In my group myself and 3 others have actually played 77 but the Rulebook is set in the 2040's if I'm reading it correctly? So does anyone have any tips for conversions? 3. Linear Frame Omega and Dragoon armor. I scoured as much as I could for RED blocks of these and couldn't find anything. I have homebrewed for it (Along with an Adam Smasher Stat block as which is the reason I needed this) I just want to know if I wasted my time doing that as the wiki I assume gives me the 2020 Stat table and it doesn't really seem to translate well (Kind of Like Adam Smashers stat block) for me.

I don't have that many friends, so when i have news about my life, good or bad, i usually just ruminate on my own, but this was a wholesome thing my dad said after his "awakening", and i thought i'd share it with you all.
on early February 2023, i (22F) ran into some problems with my school administration that would possibly hinder me from graduating next year. because of that i got so frustrated and for once called my dad to tell him the news and to apologize for not being attentive enough in keeping up with my school schedules and all that.
after an hour of him listening to me explain and cry and apologize, i ask him if worse comes to worst, what if i do have to extend, that means it'll take longer for me to graduate.
He said "it's okay, whatever happens, i will support you, i will be here, you're not alone, but you have to try as hard as you can to fight for this"
because he was being sooo nice (i expected him to take away my things or something, because that's what he used to do), i asked him "why are you being so nice? i failed to keep up with the most basic thing, why are you not angry?" (his tone was not in any way upset, he was calm collected)
His response was "because i don't want to lose you again, you are my daughter, it's my responsibility as a parent to support you until you can support yourself"
wanna know my response to that? i cried even harder. because that was the single most meaningful thing ANYONE has ever said to me. and this came from my dad, who when i was 14, on christmas, said "i don't need you, i have your little sister, i don't care what happens to you" with the most heartless tone i can imagine to be used to a fourteen year old. so the complete 180⁰ from back then really sucker punched my soul.
so that's it, just wanted to put it out there that some parents do try to change their behaviour (well, after i ran away for 6 months and built a life for my own), so don't give up! sometimes they need some shock therapy, but after that, if they're showing efforts to repair their relationship with you, if it's not too damaged (and you want to have a relationship with them), try meeting them in the middle, you'll be surprised what waits you on the other side.
(oh and the thing i was fighting for, through some luck or miracle, i handled it (with the help of my parents), and i'm back studying law again 😁)

Hello all,
In this trivia section, I wanted to discuss pokemons based upon my favorite type of dinosaurs: The Ceratopsians.
For people who don't know Ceratopsians were characterized by beaks, rows of shearing teeth in the back of the jaw, elaborate nasal horns, and a thin parietal-squamosal shelf that extends back and up into a frill. (e.g., Triceratops)
One of the most popular dinosaur types, it's no surprise they have also been adapted as pokemon.
From my knowledge, there are 5 pokemons who are directly or indirectly based upon Ceratopsians.
Aron - Lairon - Aggron

• Aron: Aron is a quadrupedal Pokémon with four stubby legs and a large round head.
  
  • Aron seems to be based upon baby ceratopsids. Ceratopsian babies had a much shorter frill relative to its skull length than an adult. Some scientists claim that ceratopsians grow horns later which indicates most of the ceratopsians would look similar in birth.
• Lairon: Lairon, the evolution of Aron is a stocky, armored Pokémon with four short legs. Its body is dark gray, and its eyes are sky blue. Its back is covered with segments of iron armor, each with a high ridge and round dark holes on the sides.
  
  • Lairon seems to be based on Protoceratops based upon the frill shape and design. It was a member of the Protoceratopsidae, a group of early horned dinosaurs. Unlike later ceratopsians, however, it was a much smaller creature that lacked well-developed horns and retained some basal traits not seen in later genera.
  • Lairon's sides of its lower jaw have several flat protrusions which along with its body shape indicates it to be based upon to Placerias, a mammal-like synapsid from the Triassic period. Placerias is in reality a dicynodonts were herbivorous animals with a pair of tusks, hence their name, which means 'two dog tooth'. Members of the group possessed a horny beak. Since they were mammals, dicynodonts are closely related to us than the dinosaurs! In fact, they became extinct before the arrival of the dinosaurs in the Jurassic!
• Aggron: The final stage of Aron, Aggron is a huge, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily gray with plates of silver armor. The armor on its head has two pairs of holes with horns protruding from the foremost holes. Its forehead plating extends past its upper jaw in a small point. It has sky-blue eyes, and two nostril-like holes on the tip of its upper jaw.
  
  • I think this is one of pokemons that people can guess that is based upon the famous Triceratops based upon Aggron's design itself. Infact, if Aggron is on four legs it looks completely like a Triceratops.
  • Triceratops is probably the 2nd most famous dinosaur in the world. It is also one of the largest ceratopsians (as large as an elephant) up to 9 meters (30 ft) long and 12 metric tons (13 short tons) in weight. It shared landscape with Tyrannosaurus Rex and was one of the dinosaurs built to protect itself from super-predators like T-Rex. Scientists claim that Triceratops might be the one dinosaur that T-Rex actively avoided in the Cretaceous period as T-Rex was both a hunter and a scavenger and would have likely preyed upon the young or the old dinosaurs. Plus it had plenty of prey in that period which could not fight back against T-Rex's attack.
  • Side Note: Dueling Dinosaurs consists of the fossilized skeletons of an adolescent Tyrannosaurus rex and a Triceratops horridus entangled with one another, and entombed in sandstone. The "dueling" inference comes from the numerous injuries sustained by both dinosaurs, including a tooth from the Tyrannosaurus embedded within the Triceratops, although it remains to be seen whether they were actually buried fighting one another. The fossil is currently in the possession of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and is set to be revealed to the public in 2022.

Shieldon - Bastiodon

• Shieldon: Shieldon is a small, yellow, ceratopsian-like reptilian Pokémon. It has white toes and a white bump on its back. Shieldon has a dark-gray elliptical face, with a prominent white brow and a white rim on its black snout.
  
  • Shieldon seems to be based upon Protoceratops a much smaller Ceratopsian that lacked well-developed horns and retained some basal traits not seen in later genera. Protoceratops had a large neck frill which was likely used as a display site to impress other members of the species.
  • Side Note: A precursor to the Dueling Dinosaurs above, a specimen called Fighting Dinosaurs was discovered in which a famous and scientifically important fossil specimen that hails from the Late Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia. It preserves a Protoceratops andrewsi and Velociraptor mongoliensis trapped in combat and provides direct evidence of predatory behavior in non-avian dinosaurs.
• Bastiodon: Bastiodon is a Pokémon) which appears to be a cross between a ceratopsian such as Achelousaurus and a bulldozer. Its dark gray, square head resembles a castle wall, complete with four cream-yellow, window-like spots with a black outline, three dark gray spikes on the top, and two larger gray spikes in the upper corners.
  
  • Bastiodon is likely based on a ceratopsian dinosaur. Its protective growth resembles a castle wall or fortress. Its head resembles that of Chasmosaurus. Its frill design also seems to be based upon Kosmoceratops.

I hope this post has been interesting and has been informative.
What are your favourite dinosaur types and have they been adapted into Pokemon? And what else do you want to?

I reach out because we just came back from a vet who told us our 6 month old kitty “Nami” has scoliosis, several fractures, deformed organs, and that she would have no quality of life, and recommended we euthanize her.
This came surprisingly out of the blue for us and broke our hearts, because her original vet took X-rays two months ago and didn’t mention anything like this.
In short, we rescued her in November when she was probably nearing two months She started eating wet food pretty well, and grew healthily as far as we could see. She was running and jumping by the start of January at four months of age.
However, nearing the end of January, she was suddenly limping. We took her to the vet right away, and they told us she needed X-rays. She got them, but the vet said they didn’t see anything too bad, that it was probably a bad fall and that she should recover. They prescribed something for pain and anti-inflammatory medication and sent her on her way.
A month passed, in which my wife and I got married and left two weeks for our honeymoon (my MIL took care of her). When we got back, she was struggling a bit more, so we took her to the vet again, they said she might have some issue, but did not specify anything, and asked us to start physiotherapy.
As time went by, we moved to our new home, and we were optimistic, she would even walk down small steps and so. However, three days ago I noticed she was fully dragging her hind legs (these videos are just a week apart).
So we decided to take her to another vet, one that’s closer to our new home, and that’s where we were told what I mentioned at the start of the post. They provided the following X-rays:
https://postimg.cc/gallery/pLmC86K
Things the vet told us: - She has scoliosis in her spine - She has twisted limbs - She has fractures in about 4 or 5 places - Her vertebrate are not formed correctly - Her “growth disks” were closed - She has deformed organs
We are in tears fearing the worst, the vet showed no optimism and our souls are crushed. We want to give her the happiest life she can live, and do what’s best for her.
Has anyone seen something like this happen before? How can we know what is the best course of action?

“Take time to do what makes your soul happy”
On this thread, please share any new ideas of self-care or share what you are going to do for yourself this weekend!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Self Care Saturday! This is a NEW weekly post that is here to remind us about the importance of taking care of ourselves. It is here to share ideas and motivate each other to take some time out of our busy schedule to RECHARGE. We are living in a time period that is filled with so many distractions that take us out of the present moment, and I want this post to remind you to do something for yourself this weekend. Recharge your battery because after all we cannot pour from an empty cup. Many of us work long hours at work, have families to take care of, and have a million other obligations. This makes it way too easy to forget to dedicate time in your day for YOURSELF. When reading this, I hope you are filled with motivation to dedicate 10 minutes or even a whole day doing activities you enjoy or activities that are healthy for you. Here are several examples of self-care ideas!
1. Nature for the win! - Take a walk somewhere new with your phone on airplane mode. If you find yourself drifting off into thought that is focusing on a past negative situation or worrying about an event that is coming up, try counting all the new items in your surroundings that you have never noticed before. Do whatever you can to keep yourself in the walk instead of letting the mind trap you into a daydream that is causing stress.
2. Exercise! - One of the healthiest things we can do to help our body and mind is taking out time in your day to be active. I personally love to run. It is difficult getting started, but once I get ten minutes into my run, I get in the zone. Afterwards, I feel like a new person! If you are someone that really struggles with finding the motivation to exercise, start small! Even if you only watch a five - minute workout video on YouTube, at least it is a start! You can DO this!
3. Sleep is Key! - Set your-self up for success and plan out a peaceful nighttime ritual that will help you fall asleep earlier while dedicating 7-8 hours of your night to sleep. Try not to let a screen rule your night with a scroll that keeps you up till 3am. Remember, you are in control! Without a good night’s sleep, chances are your anxiety, depression, or any other mental health items you struggle with will be much worse the next day.
4. Start a new hobby! - Try something you have never done before such as journaling, hiking, biking, reading a new book series, taking time to meditate, etc.
5. Get excited! - Watch a motivational video that makes you want to achieve your dreams.
6. Have a date night…With YOURSELF! - Go out to eat by yourself even if it feels weird and plan a drive or walk to somewhere new after.
7. Can’t have a post without a gratitude reminder! - Think about all the things you are grateful for. Then go the extra mile by calling up someone you care about and telling them you appreciate their presence in your life.
There are so many more ideas for ways on how to practice self-care! Please share any you may have for the rest of OFam to see!
You. Are. Enough.
Jay

Welcome to the DAT, summoner! Post questions regarding team composition, content progression, game mechanics, or anything else in this thread. If you are able to help your fellow summoners, please take some time to contribute to the community and answer some questions yourself as well!
A lot of helpful guides and resources can be found in the subreddit mega wiki.

If you ask a question please give ALL relevant information!

• Your monster box: Upload a screenshot to Reddit directly or an image hosting site like imgur or use swarfarm. Sort your box by "Grade" and try to include all 4*s and LD nat 3*s.
• Your current progression: Where you currently are in the game, what your teams are, what content you need help with and what you have tried so far.
• For ToA, which enemies are on the floor you're stuck on.
• For PvP, indicate what rank you are trying to achieve, i.e. currently F3 want to get C1 Arena. For RTA also share your rank percentage.

The less people have to clarify or look up to help you, the more likely you will get a fast response.

Beginner friendly/farmable PvE teams

Recommended progression: GB10 -> ToAN -> GB12 -> ToAH -> (DB11 ->) NB12 -> R5 and Rifts
Fast progression: GB12 -> (DB11 ->) NB12 -> BJ5 -> Tricaru DB12
Note that for NB12 a few violent sets (especially on twins) are making things a lot easier so before tackling Necropolis you might want to farm a little bit of DB11, it also gives you Guard runes for Tricaru.

• GB10: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, Lapis, Shannon/second awakened (2A) Kro
• Legacy GB10 teams typically include Belladeon, Bernard, or Darion. These units are outdated and can be skipped.
• GB12: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, Shannon/Lapis/2A Naomi
• DB12: Verde (L), Fran, Loren, Sig, Elsharion or Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
• PB10: Verde (L), Colleen/Fran, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro, 2A Spectra/Yen/Pang. You can also use 2A Jultan to tank the boss (on multiple Will sets).
• SB10: Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, 2A Raoq, Ling Ling
• NB12: Lapis (L), Colleen/Fran, Loren, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro/Raoq (NB10 guide). Twins are a much better choice and should be used if possible. You can also directly use Tricaru.
• ToA(H): Fran (L), Lapis, Verde, Loren, Vero/2A Kro/2A Spectra. Use Tyron if you have him. 2A Sath/Thrain are good options if you want to go for a dot team, do not use Baretta as he's terribly outdated.
• R5: Front Line: Xiong Fei, Darion Back Line: Colleen, 2A Kro, Tesa, Theo/Xiao Lin/Belladeon
• R5 stat minimum: You need 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL units and 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL units. Healers and your cleanser should have 100% RES after lead.
• Rift unit options: Xiao Lin, Theomars, Fran, Colleen, and 2A Kro can be used in most of your rift teams. FL Mav/Bernard is good for Water rift and Lapis is good for Fire and Dark rifts. Twins are great in all rifts.

You still need appropriate rune quality and turn order! Do not expect to beat a dungeon just by having these units

Common speed teams

• R5 - BJ5: Colleen, Baleygr, Janssen, Dagora, Loren, lead unit (BJ5 guide)
  
• DB12 - Tricaru: Verde (L), 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru (guide (Note: DEF requirement is 3300)) (Cheatsheet) (Calculator)
  
• NB12 - Tricaru: Either add Astar or replace Verde with her (on vamp, same stats). Adding Astar and Lushen to clear waves first also works.
  
• GB12 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen (guide)
  
• PB10 - Tricaru: Kill towers first (usually L>R>B but some people reported R>L>B working better for them).
  
• SB10 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen
  

PvE accuracy requirements

Rifts need no ACC. R5 needs 15%. SB10 needs 25%. PB10 39%. ToA(H), GB10, and NB10 45%. DB10, GB12, NB12 and ToA Hell 55%. DB12 needs 65%.

General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

• NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
• Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
• Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
• Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
• Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
• Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
• White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
• Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
• Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
• Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

So I just read the sixth and last issue of the Legion of Bats spin-off comic (very good series btw, most comic buying I've done in well over a decade lol) and I've got some thoughts that I felt were worth sharing:
-At the end of #6, Harley admits to the rest of the crew (King Shark, Clayface, Frank, Sy) about becoming an anti-hero and joining the Batfam. This leaves King and Clay majorly shocked, to the point of deciding they need to leave the crew for the time being. And on the DC Fandom Wiki, Harley's crew from the show is listed as disbanded. This further adds to the debate and confusion as to whether these comics, much like Eat Bang Kill, are canon to the show or not; they reference the events of the first three seasons, but likely won't be referenced in season four or beyond. I guess we're just going to have to wait until S4 actually premieres to figure this all out and see whether or not the crew is still together.
-Early in the comic there's a scene where Livewire-a member of Ivy's Legion of Doom-shoots a bolt of lightning at Harley, seemingly disintegrating her and leaving Ivy devastated. Fortunately another LoD member-Nightfall-used her powers to get Harley out of the way. I bring this up simply because it is eerily similar to a dream I had a few months ago about a potential S3 cliffhanger ending that involves Harley having to flee Gotham and Ivy being lead to think Harley is dead (NOTE: this dream happened before the show had been renewed).
Any and all thoughts/theories/questions welcome.
