This week’s Guild Quest brings a fierce challenge for players as they tackle the Melee Captain event. With new strategies being discussed, players are eager to overcome the high-stakes bosses and optimize their builds.
Context of the Quest
The event pits players against powerful Shinigami bosses including Ukitake, Sajin, Shunsui, Unohana, and Kenpachi. Each requires different tactics for normal and hard modes, intensifying the competition among players. Many are sharing tips, builds, and successes across forums in hopes of mastering the quest.
Dominating Strategies and Observations
The chatter centers around optimal character choices, accessory recommendations, and strategies for maximizing damage output. Several comments highlight the effectiveness of Senjumaru, with one player noting, "Senjumaru just neg diffs this GQ."
Players are particularly focused on:
Utilizing killer multipliers: Players advised bringing units that match the killer rules to hit damage multipliers of up to x5.
Status effects for control: Many users stress the importance of applying freeze and paralysis to manage mobs effectively. Users recommend focusing on enemy stuns during later waves to avoid damage and conserve stamina.
Building strong teams: As one user noted, "Building your lead SP unit right can lead to better clears and a shorter time." The consensus is that faster setups will yield better results against the final bosses.
Player Sentiments
Overall, reactions are mixed, with certain players feeling confident due to solid character selections, while others remain frustrated by RNG elements affecting their gear and pulls. A few expressed difficulty in completing harder GQ challenges, such as one player lamenting, "I ran out of orbs trying to get Senju and never got her."
"You can absolutely do better with these units, but I don't think I’ll be testing better builds with them," one player shared, showcasing the pressure many feel during this time.
