Bassline = Perfect Bait

ZT-S-3 5 Star Defenders (8 ops)
Thanks to the teleport resetting Bassline's initial SP, having him as the teleport target ensures I can keep spamming his skill and completely negate all enemy arts damage wherever he lands. Since this stage comes with a fairly strong selection of ranged arts enemies that's very useful.
Really don't like fighting this boss. There's no way for 5* defenders to deal enough damage to kill the boss quickly, so it just turns into a slog where I keep chipping him down over and over while rotating on the mobs. In this map I spam as much of Shalem as possible and still barely manage to kill.

Tried S-5 for an hour but I couldn't think of anything to beat phase 2 with 5* defenders, the spam of arts guards is too much
S-3 on the other hand is easy so I cut some ops and grinded a little last minute RNG
Boss is about 40 seconds away from killing me at the end iirc from failed attempts

This boss is a pain to deal with using a normal squad much less 5* defenders...

[@twittwitmf3258]

I guess you could say he's a... Master baiter?

I'd offer you milkshake and fries for this clear. It looks tough, congrats on getting it.

Bassline: taking shots for his (maybe dead) queen since 2024.
What's the rng on the teleportation you're looking for? is it "as long as bassline/hung/firewhistle land on a spot where they can still heal/block/shoot enemies it's good" or there's a specific spot you want for the teleports?

[@tumsYT]

I just played and tried working with whatever I got
It was actually somewhat fun since in my case there were many paths to victory and I didn't plan out a specific win scenario
The first half is RNGless, second half is yolo

Casually playin for baiting

This was the exact stage that forced me to build Bassline because Nightingale evades me

[@juh9870_projects]

Did you beat S-5 with 6* defenders later, or have you decided to ignore it comletely?

[@tumsYT]

With a full squad for a regular clear
Didn't bother uploading cause you can obviously optimize hard if you go for RNG

[@adamvegas5951]

Why use one cannon when you can use two? Also how valuable are the fortress defender mods? I imagine going through enemy defenses are a good deal better

[@tumsYT]

Good DPS increase

[@yumm_6]

I guess you could call him a masterb-
im gonna touch grass instead
