VERDANT MENTIONED YEAAA!!! Honestly compared to other dollkeepers, he's not exactly the best but he IS still a dollkeeper, just one purely on survivability with some bits of dmg here and there, so happy seeing people use him more in niches Also i like how you bring the full squad to every stage 🐍
He's a 4*, it'd be sad if he was the "best" dollkeeper, and what makes a unit good is highly contextual anyway. In my niche where I have no dedicated healers the dollkeeper ability to just sit there drawing aggro forever is extremely valuable for example (not to mention he's far cheaper than the rest to deploy). If you look at what I make him do in my BB-S-1 clear, I tried using Specter alter for that in my full roster clear and she just got killed double dead.
I've thrown myself at 14-17 a bit but I'm pretty sure it's impossible for snakes right now, even if I solve all the problems in just getting to set up with how fast it opens there's still the fact that I don't have a way to kill the shield enemies fast. They don't hit super hard so if I had some form of external healing Shalem could just hold them and we'd be fine, but currently my only units who can hold the shields long enough to kill are Zuo Le with self healing and Eunectes with sheer stats, and the map sends out 3 shields near the end so I'm cooked no matter what. Definitely a map I'll come back to the moment we get another snake.
Nice clears, i like that you managed to use Verdant in a situation where he seems like the best option. It's a shame that there's no hope for the snakes for the rest of the chapter, though, it was relatively simple even on adverse for lateranos. If they were to drop a new snake on us, who would you prefer most of all, which role/class/subclass?
The chapter as a whole really isn't hard yeah, snakes just have some glaring gaps in functionality that get exposed by the mechanics this time around. Honestly, it'd be pretty sad if these 7 highly specialised units could actually clear everything. I'd like some form of healing most of all, because currently it's basically impossible to use Shalem for what he's meant to do and he's limited to being little more than a map opener in situations where Zuo Le can't do it. More block would be nice but getting to actually use Shalem as a defender would solve that, and a vanguard would also be nice but most maps give enough leeway to put at least some of my expensive divas down so it's not as big of a problem as one of my units just not being able to do their job. I think an abjurer would be cool, we literally just got a new bard and there's already a lot of high power medics and healing defenders so abjurer feels like the most likely healing subclass to get a future addition at all besides chain healer or maybe incantation medic. I also like that they're a little harder to use than outright medics, and the shelter would benefit my strongest soldier Zuo Le even if the heals don't. My gut says Mantra will be some kind of supporter if/when she's added and Nine's plant-based arts could fit the subclass too so that's my copium of choice lol
@@caliginousinsight Niches that have neither healing nor dp generation 🤝 Sounds good. And yeah, picking a niche that can clear everything would be quite odd. Not pointless! Just maybe a personal preference more than a type of challenge or just genera masochism.

I see Verdant I click
oh, do u draw ur own thumbnails? because they are really cute 😚
I do yeah, thank you :)
Really nice clears! Can't wait to see how snake only handles 14-17 compared to general reptiles

yeah the altars being targetable meant it was a pain to use Ceobe's S1 on these stages as well as my own Indigo.
