Step 1: ban ML Poli & ML Luna/Nakhwol.
Step 2: pick Laia.
Step 3: pick Albedo & ban-protect DDR.
Step 4: pick WK.
Step 5: pick a unit that counters the most dangerous unit on the other side.
That's how I do it =))))
Because my account is barely 1 year with not a lot of options, and even if I have the units available, I don't have good enough gears for them.
I have only ~20 units that are good enough for PVP with most of them are only 450-550 effective ES (their gears might have 90+ ES but for example: 16% ATK + 6% CC on my Laia's weapon so... 94 ES instant drops down to 68 ES).
The only unit that I'm really happy with is my Fire Charlotte, which has pretty insane gears of 592 ES without any line wasted.
If they attempt to cleave me, I slap in Fire Charlotte + Christy.
They press anything on her, she claps back for tons of dmg and self-heal to full.
My ML Bellona is kinda okay with 567 ES, but I feel like she's much weaker than WK (563) in the current meta.
I abuse DDR almost every game, so they're very likely to pick something like Bunny Dom, any other cleansers, and earth Celine.
If they pick a cleanser, WK can oneshot the cleanser.
If they pick earth Celine, well, WK with 20% mitigation from Albedo can take the hit even if Celine crit with only 30% chance.
This is awesome! Thank you so much! If I make a follow up video with notes, I'll make sure to call you out.
I'm shocked WK is so useful. He didn't show up on ANY of the people's top 3! But your setup makes sense.
I don't have WK or DDR so I'll have to come up with an idea to do your draft with some other units.
Can I ask, if you pick Laia, why doesn't the opponent pick DDR? I can see her being a counter to him but I feel like he would win out turn 2 since his whole team will be dealing injury?
Also, Fire Charlotte! Wow, I love that idea! I think I may try to build her.
@@gamesuspectamy I'm just a Champ player so I can't really tell why I don't meet many DDR in the draft.
There are 2 reasons I can think of.
1st is DDR just got buffed for about a year if I recall that correctly, so many people might not have him as they already picked other ML5 from ML Blessing.
The 2nd reason can be the fear of getting counterpicked too early.
Picking DDR in the 1st or 2nd slot will more likely result in getting a counterpick right after.
Not many people build WK as I do with the intention of enabling DDR to do his job freely.
I wish I have better gears for WK as he's a bruiser, and bruisers need 600 ES =))))
If I pick 1st then I pre-ban ML Poli & ML Luna, then I go Laia so I can force DDR later.
Then if they pick DDR with their 1st 2 picks, I don't have any counter for him so I switch to resist DPS with ban-protected Christy.
I build Fire Charlotte & Jenua with semi-resist build, ~100 ER on both units, so when I pair them with Christy, they only get controlled by really heavy debuffers (250+ eff).
Then I can also slap in Elvira.
She enables an early kill with Def Break, counters all Fighting Spirit users which they might pick as Fire Charlotte triggers a lot of counterattacks from Candy/AYufine.
If I pick 2nd then I pre-ban ML Poli + Nahkwol.
Then if they pick Laia, I go with both ML Luna & DDR as the 1st 2 picks.
Then I ban-protect Diene + pick WK.
Diene can cleanse and push up.
WK with Crit Resist buff can fight anyone except those that have guaranteed crit (Fire Ravi, ML Bellona, Gala Lilias).
Last pick depends on what they come up with.
I got lucky once with the daily summon so now I have Briseria as a special treatment for Arbiter Vildred & Adin.
That's basically what I do.
I've been playing RTA for only one season so there are still a lot of things to learn.
There are also many comps that I have no way to deal with, because of either unit or gear limitation.
My winrate is still 60%+ though xD
@@baohungle5410 I love hearing how you change your stat if you pick 1st or 2nd. Very very interesting. Also, your ER units to play vs DDR is really clever.
Protected Diene! That's very unique but makes sense because of how she enabled WK.
Thanks for all of these details! I'm gonna take notes and put together a strategy from this!
@@gamesuspectamy Frida is coming to the game, so I'll swap all the gears on my Diene to her then put her on Ray's Art.
If only I have another set, it won't be this embarrassing XD
She might not pair well with WK but she forces the opponent to ban ML Luna, leaving an absolute free last pick for me.
Also, I have 5k Mystics now, I'll all-in for ML Illynav.
If I get her, it will be absolutely fantastic. She's just too flexible to skip.
You literally can build her however you please, even as a DPS.
In my case, more likely 200 ER + Bastion, so I can leave ML Luna open.
Even if she soulburns, it doesn't matter.
@@baohungle5410 Nice. I can't wait for Frida, I don't have a plan for her yet but I was able to get ML Illynav! You're right, she's very versatile. I bring her into AYuf/Bellian and she zooms!
I wish they would offer things like RTA skins in other ways for those of us that prefer PVE and/or hate PVP.
Haha, I'm with you... I NEVER do RTA until they dangle a new skin out there for me. lol
@@titanduff8335 Do RTA skins show up in the skin shop? I thought they don't....
@gamesuspectamy yes they are the epic skins only way I have the stene skin they are 110 tokens the rta skin shows will show up way later
@@titanduff8335 Oh interesting, I didn't know this but makes sense. Thanks!
wukong albedo combo really snowballing on rta, bring mitigation and soulwaver for bruiser style or take cleaver and clearing the battle with wukong at max stack for agressive play
Ack! If only I had Wukong... sad panda. What rank are you now? You should do some climbing showcases on your channel so I can copy your draft style haha.
Would you be interested in joining a top 50 guildwar guild? 👀
Ack! I love guild war but my account isn't great so I'm sure I'd be letting you guys down haha. Also, I've been in this little guild for a while now... so it feels like home.
Thank you so much for the offer! Now you made me motivated to take GW more seriously. I'll reach out if I have a change of heart. 🙏
Cermia skin ❤
@@gamesuspectamy I ll try my best to get my ddr pvp ready this week to be able to grind next week for the skin, all in for her 🤟
@@Kukyo... Haha, I like your strategy. I wait until, like, the last 2-3 days before season ends because I'm hoping all of the newbs that hate RTA will be playing at that time so I can get some easy wins. Wish us both luck!
Ima cleaver ig I normally draft is politis, ml Cermia/arby, ran, ml Eliana, summertime esira. Then ban haste and dragon bride.
Whoa! Ran is your protected pick? Great draft! I love the idea of Cermia #2 to stop them from trying counter play up front. I might have to try this!
@@gamesuspectamy yeah he’s my fastest and I want turn 1. and depending on their draft if they pick zio I ban him or Celine pick I ban her or pick lewdica and jacko instead of summertime and astromancer
@@tannergilbert8484 Nice fallback. Do you have any trouble with heroes like Albedo or Carmin?
@@gamesuspectamy not really because I have symbol of unity and I soul burn my ran for the defense break because of my politis and my astromancer has flans artifact and she pushes herself to take the next turn which is she’s built with over 300 crtdamage and if they ban her my summertime pushes my ml Cermia to take the next turn to cleave because Albano counter and my summer has 200effectness and help control/damage I struggle when they pick Edward Elric that or they try to speed contest and pick speed imprints I rely on taking turn one
And if ran pick i pick my second fastest which is Celeste with nahkwol artifact for the defense break and push back as well
just pre-ban who counter ur play style " the hard counters " and u can get challenger so easily 🤭
Thanks, M7... maybe I'll try to go tanky turtle this season! Wish me luck!
I just pick my favorite waifus and beat their low-tier waifus and win! It's that easy!
On a real note: Green roana (who's not on this top 50) is an easy pass to masters with how many people have these high tier heroes on counter or dual attack with someone which also activates the passive (I counted 17/50 that for sure activates her regardless if on counter or not).
She doesn't even need the best gear just a lot of hp since her heal is based on her HP, and to sit there and look pretty. I used her with success in cleave, anti-cleave, slow, and debuff teams. They pick belian/aoe counter spammer: pick green roana for free win!
She's a great counter to many DPS like Candy, ML Bellona, Aria, Ed.
I even use her against Blooming Lidica.
But there are too many nukers in RTA currently, and she doesn't do anything against cleave comps with Zio, Ran, ML Lidwig, ML Roana, Jacko,...
Yeah, unfortunately, she doesn't have that much usage in RTA currently.
And when she gets picked, it's more likely she gets banned afterwards.
Yea, I just checked my list, she's #56. Honestly she should definitely be higher. She's a must pick against a lot of those units!
I like your "pick favorite waifus" strategy the best though!
@@baohungle5410 Pretty true, Bao. She doesn't help against debuff meta which seems to be growing.
