Quick Qiongqi guide
Team: healer, dps, dps, dps, dps
Battle is 7 minutes, avatar requires 22mil damage
Main Gimmicks
1. Chance unit gets stunned when basic attacks hit boss (4s)
Healer doesn’t do this so it won’t get stunned
2. Energy drain
Might be harder for Healer to get its energy skill to proc at a good time
3. Big % AOE damage.
This plus energy drain = rng hell to reset
Healers with high AOE healing is key
AOE times: 4:58, 2:58, 0:58 (from CN wiki)
Food Soul Recommendations
Healers
Candy Cane - ideally t5, otherwise will require a team cleanse source from elsewhere or rest of the team should be units with stun immunity
Somen - AOE healing + team cleansing, solid option all around
Laba Congee - AOE healing + team cleansing, falls short of Somen bc of SR stats and she’s way too slow
Mango Pomelo Sago - team cleanse only on energy skill (less reliable than it being on basic skill)
If those 3 are not an option, use whoever has strong AOE healing (so NO Bibimbap, gl making past 3 minutes with her)
If you’re less of a veteran player, you have the option to run 2 healers to cover for both good healing and reliable form of team cleansing (so Bibimbap would be okay to use in this formation)
(T5 Fondant is actually not that reliable for stun immunity, if you have other sources of this, they will be far more reliable)
DPS with some form of stun immunity
Turkey - requires T3 artifact and activates on skill use –> can still get stunned every now and then
Nattou - requires T3, can team cleanse but CD very high
Rum - requires T4, plus can team cleanse
Da Hong Pao - requires T4, only goes to 2 allies in your team
Be careful when using (assuming no t5 CC)
Beer - he’s going to get brutalized by the constant stuns he will be receiving, making him far less effective as a buffer.
Souffle, any other team cleanse DPS with no self stun immunity - Their team cleansing will be very unreliable because they will be put out of commission since they too can get hit with stuns.
Okay, but what if I don’t have a lot of these options?
This is a rough Disaster to fight, but many other players will also have the same issues, so your ranks won’t be changing too drastically as long as you put in some thought into your team formation. Just do your best with what you got. (I do agree it will absolutely suck for trying to get the handbook rewards)
Hi! I heard that there's a new big event fs on cn server and i just wanted to know if its worth saving up for it :3 ty!
(i consulted w my friends bc i havent played the game in a looong time lol)
short answer is no because his ascension is paywalled and stats are the most important in a defender. A 3* defender at best (4.5k crystals + clear highest difficulty + dont let stam cap), 2* if you're the average player, and 2* defenders have little to no long term viability
While I have your attention, I’d like you to fill out this survey!

Thank you!
are you going to continue leak posts?
yes! im just a bit busy at the moment w secret santa stuff and a lot of art stuff, but i should have a new post ready by saturday!
Is Dahongpao's summon event that is happening in the chinese server right now an unlimited pull of ember like Candy Cane pool, or it can't be reset anymore and can only pull 90 times? thanks in advance
its unlimited!
Do you have all of Junmais CGs
theres just these two i think
Why Croissant Sucks
Before I do a deep dive into Croissant specs, here are the quick, general reasons for why Croissant is swiftly dismissed by many competitive players.
He’s EXPENSIVE - and the utility of the Food Soul doesn’t justify the cost
No useful utility that sets him apart from other Food Souls
He doesn’t get a Gate of Trials = can’t justify when his t1 and t2 are lackluster
In this case, I will be discussing other reasons why he falls short beyond just cost, especially between far more accessible options.
Stats
His stats are… counterproductive. It’s balanced too far in favorable of Defense and HP; the Defense stat is essentially useless on a Magic FS so the fact that Croissant has low attack in favor of high Defense is insulting. Usually for HP, anything above 7k is good enough for Disaster, which all 5* URs have no difficulty meeting.
The Attack is far too low vs other Magic Food Souls (4200 at lvl 120 vs 5163 for White Truffle, 4328 for Champagne who’s even a really old limited UR).
While the Speed stat is above average (6058 at 5* vs 4k~5k for the average 5* Magic FS), it’s not that much better, considering a 5* Nattou’s speed is a whooping 8398 speed plus his Attack is way above Croissant’s (4904). Moreover, Croissant does not have Tsuchi/Ume preference so his speed potential in itself is not an advantage.
Verdict: his stats are unimpressive, which is forgivable as long as he has good skills and Artifact.
Skills
Basic skill - Croissant flaps his wing, stirring up sharp wind to attack the enemy, dealing 100% ATK as damage to the highest-ATK enemy, plus 98 damage, while also charming the target, lasting 3s.
Energy skill - Croissant plays the piano, crossing his legs and flapping his wings, dealing 40% ATK as damage to all enemies, plus 433 damage, while also lowering DEF for the highest-DEF enemy by 40%, lasting 5s.
First of all: y i k e s
I personally hate Food Souls that goes single target for basic skill but AOE for energy skill (and vice versa). It’s the middle ground that prevents a Food Soul from excelling at any particular role vs other options (Single target –> Disaster and event boss focused, AOE –> pvp focused)
Now let’s list other utility he provides:
Basic skill - single target charm
Energy skill - single target 40% Defense down
That’s it. Single target CC is not hard to come by and Defense down is one of the worst debuffs in the game (needs to be insanely high % for it to make a difference, does nothing for skill damage), plus if it were remotely useful, it’s unreliable as a energy skill vs Food Souls like Mentaiko and Inarizushi who can debuff a good % on basic skill.
Verdict: skills aren’t the worst but pretty sad for current meta standards. The only way to make up for it is having a broken Artifact. Like, it needs to completely blow me away by how good it is.
Artifact
Generally for good Artifacts that do not get a Gate of Trials, something needs to be broken at the T1 or T2 mark. It would be pushing it to require T3 but any higher is impractical with Universal UR tickets alone. And yes, if a Food Soul has not gotten a Gate of Trials in the CN server, the chance for us to get it is essentially 0%.
I’m going to condense the skill descriptions and list the stats of the arti assuming lvl 5 togi:
T1
Antler - 20% chance to inflict single target 84% ATK skill damage
Striped - Upon basic skill, charms 2 enemies for 3s w/ 8s cd; randomly heal ally by 1.69% of HP(?)
Bushy - Upon basic skill, reduce speed of 2 enemies by 4226 for 5s, 10s cd
Antler is the best togi here. Striped looks unimpressive for catacombs considering it’s not AOE with a hefty cooldown. Bushy is just useless and bad.
T2
All - self silence immunity
Antler - Upon basic skill, heals all allies by 1.69% of max HP AND 16.9% chance of team invincibility for 4s w/ 12s cd
Striped - Upon basic skill:
- if enemy is >80% HP, inflict damage of 2.1% of enemy’s max HP
- if enemy is <30% HP, inflict damage of 8.4% of enemy’s max HP
Bushy - Upon basic skill:
- if enemy is >40% HP (?), inflict damage of 0.8% of enemy’s current HP w/ 10s cd
- inflict single target 25.3% ATK DoT for 3s
This is… weird. But not good. The amount of HP healed on basic skill isn’t high enough to make up for not having a Healer at all (heals maybe ~200 HP on average which is pretty mediocre considering there are no other sources of healing). The other togis are all HP-dependent skills, which are only practical against bosses with high HP. Sadly, such skills are disabled for bosses.
So how good are T1 and T2? Pretty horrendous. T1 is a pretty standard damage node and T2 is straight up useless. This Artifact is 100% a waste of your time! There are other Artifacts that do a lot more for the same price or less (Bamboo Rice’s T1, Champagne’s T2, Turkey’s T2 for example, all of which inflict damage on basic attack).
But juuuuuust in case let’s take a look at the other nodes:
T3 - every 15s: buffs self or buffs 2 fs in your team
T4 - damage on skill OR buffs team on combo skill
T5 - damage on skill, other effects are not worth mentioning
So great, the Artifacts after T2 are also pretty mediocre. Everything Croissant can do, can be achieve for cheaper and better through other, more accessible Artifacts. He sucks at dealing damage or buffing the team, and his other effects bring little to nothing to the table.
Final Verdict
We established that Croissant’s stats, skills and Artifacts are all pretty inferior across the board. For a lot of competitive players, Croissant wouldn’t fit into teams even if elex handed a 5* Croissant to us for free. There are clear alternatives for whatever utility Croissant tries to fulfill that are far more accessible such as Nattou and White Truffle.
