First of all, I love your blog!! I’ve been playing TWST for over 3 years now and your content has been a lifesaver. Thank you guys for all the effort you put in!!
I’m here to humbly ask for some team-building help 🙏 I would love to be a meta player but I can’t build teams for the life of me. If it’s not too much trouble, I would love help for the exam teams!
I have every gacha SR&R, and every event SR&R post Tsumderland 1, besides Wish Upon a Star Idia. I’m also going to be getting Suitor Riddle in the next couple months. I made the mistake of not rerolling on the tutorial banner, so no Dorm Riddle :,)
My current team for Defence exams is Tsum Riddle / Tsum Malleus / Dorm Trey / Birthday Boy Floyd / Dorm Cater as they all have DUO magic with each other, but I don’t think they synergise that well…(?) My team for Offence exams is Halloween Riddle / Tsum Idia / Club Ruggie / Halloween Leona / Dorm Trey. When my team dies too easily/can’t deal enough damage, I’ll use my general team — Tsum Riddle / Tsum Malleus / Dorm Trey / Tsum Idia / Club Ruggie. I don’t change my teams based on the element (bad, I know). I can usually get A by playing on hard, but sometimes S if I manage to clear Extra Hard.
Also I can uncap another card, but I’ve been saving it for Overblot Riddle (when he eventually comes). I’m happy to uncap another Riddle if you think it would be beneficial.
So sorry for the big request! I just wanted to include all needed information, but I’m not sure if it’s too much :,( Thank you for your time! (Hopefully the image sends fine…)
_________________________________________________
asking for help for each type of exam is a big request. There are 15 exams types across all combinations, and you should definitely not bring the same team regardless of the element. Since it’s a lot of teams, I’ll give one suggestion for each of them, then feel free to mix and match with your needs and preferences. They’re not necessarily the best teams you can do, just some good examples.
I’ll start from the basics, that is, the message we always post in exam posts, to separate what each of the three exam types wants you to do. Attack Tests are called Offense Exams in the EN server. In all of them you will perform better with element advantage.
For Basic Tests: The list of recommended cards will work better if you keep in mind their DUO potential with SSR cards.
For Defense Tests: Always consider Healers for your team. It is always better to heal on 1st magic of Turn 3 or 5. If you use Continuous Heal, heal on Turn 1 or 2 but watch out for Curse.
For Attack Tests: Firepower!! DUOs are good, but depending on your cards, it may be more beneficial to use cards with buffs than weaker DUOs.
Basic exams want you to bring as much damage as possible and with as many DUOs as possible, and end the fight in turn 4 or 3 (if your limit breaks are very high), by finishing with a strong attack, which is usually a DUO magic.
Flora Basic: Overblot Idia / New Year’s Vil / Dorm Trey / Dorm Cater / Tsumsitter Azul. Use Idia’s critical buff. End in turn 4, first action with Idia and buffing him with NY Vil’s M1.
Flora Offense: Overblot Idia / Dorm Jamil / Liongarb Kalim / Tsumsitter Azul / Tsumsitter Rook
Flora Defense: Dorm Cater / Dorm Trey / Chef Rook / Nightmare Jade (Beans Jade would have been better but you don’t seem to have him) / Dorm Floyd
Fire Basic: Dorm Ortho (finisher) / Masquerade Idia / Masquerade Epel / Dorm Jamil / any Kalim
Fire Offense: Dorm Ortho / Masquerade Idia / Masquerade Epel / Dorm Jamil /Broom Riddle. Stack Dorm Jamil M2+M3 in the same turn, same for Broom Riddle M1+M2.
Fire Defense: Masquerade Idia / Tsumsitter Riddle / Dorm Trey / Silk Cater (if you don’t have him, Dorm/Tsum/Chef are ok but don’t use flora) / Tsumsitter Malleus
Water Basic: Chiffon Riddle (finisher) / Rabbit Ortho / any Deuce / Dorm Jack / Dorm Ruggie
Water Offense: Chiffon Riddle (stack his M1+M2 in one turn) / Tsumsitter Idia (same as Riddle) / Tsumsitter Ruggie / Rabbit Ortho / Halloween Jade
Water Defense: Tsumsitter Riddle (M1/M3) / Dorm Cater / Dorm Trey / Broom Ruggie / Tsumsitter Malleus
Cosmic Basic: Dawn Silver (finisher) / Liongarb Lilia (use his M1 to buff Silver’s finisher) / Dorm Jamil (M2+M3) / Dorm Jack / Dorm Ruggie
Cosmic Offense: Same as above, can replace Liongarb Lilia with Diner Lilia
Cosmic Defense: Tsumsitter Riddle / Dorm Cater / Dorm Trey / Tsumsitter Malleus / Masquerade Idia
Omni Basic: Overblot Idia / New Year’s Vil / Dorm Ortho / Dorm Jack / Dorm Ruggie
Omni Offense: Overblot Idia / New Year’s Vil / Dorm Ortho / Dorm Jamil (M2+M3) / Chiffon Riddle (M1+M2)
Omni Defense: Same as Cosmic Defense
That’s all... for now... good luck... *falls down* 🐺
