User blog:Eugenetswong/Suggested A-Team & B-Team Based Primarily On Artifact Weapon Buffs

[Here are my thoughts that I shared with 2 acquaintances.]

Okay. Here is an A-Team that I am giving serious consideration to, based solely on the weapon artifact buffs. For guild wars and other situations, the heroes can be swapped out for the B-Team members or whomever.


 * Artemis for physical attack
 * Astrid & Lucas for armor
 * Judge for magic attack
 * Arachne for magic penetration
 * Lilith for magic defense

Here is a B-Team that is worth considering.


 * Martha for armor
 * Phobos for magic defense
 * Orion for magic penetration
 * Qing Mao for armor penetration
 * Galahad for physical attack

So...each team has no redundant weapon artifact buffs...which isn't automatically good thing, but at least, there is a wide variety to address a lot of different situations. This makes them both good for the campaign. The A-Team can farm the more difficult chapters, while the B-Team can stay at chapters 7-8 for violet fragments.

Let's see how we can substitute the A-Team members.


 * Artemis can be substituted by Galahad
 * Astrid & Lucas can be substituted by Martha
 * There is no substitute for Judge, but that's okay.
 * Arachne can be substituted by Orion. I like this, because they deal a lot of damage, but Arachne damages mostly 1 enemy at a time, and Orion can do a lot of damage to a lot of enemies at once.
 * Lilith can be replaced by any of them, when we want extra buffing of the appropriate kind.

I'm surprised at how well this works out. The teams are quite complete on their own, and they each offer a different play style. For extra flexibility, we can power up Rufus as a 3rd tank.

Also, for the A-Team, Artemis and Astrid & Lucas are the only campaign soul stone heroes, but Artemis's stones are obtained every 10 team levels as a bonus, and her stones can be farmed while farming for violet items in ch. 8. The rest are Arachne and merchant heroes. For the B-Team, Phobos & Galahad's stones can be farmed while farming for violet items. Orion & Qing Mao's stones can be purchased...which means that Martha is the only hero requiring soul stone chests!

That's exciting.
