Countering Ability Compositions

Up to now you've learned how to counter abilities one on one, but what do you do when abilities are paired together. Some abilites like Second Strike and Dreameater are completely harmless in floors, because they are on their own. But in raids, paired with certain abilities, they can be a force to be reckoned with.

Dreameater - This ability only poses a threat when paired with Sleep, if Sleep is not present, you can just ignore it. If Sleep is present refer to the teams below.

1. proceeds

or [Item 3 or 8] - [Item 21] - Exhaust [Item 3 or 8]

2. proceeds

[Item 3 or 8] - or [Item 21] - or [Item 3 or 8]

 

Tornado - This dmg ability becomes more furocious the more attack abilities it's paired with or if it's paired with Radience

[Item 21] - or [Item 3 or 8] - or [Item 3 or 8]

 

Wrecker + Dominator - This teamup can be quite intimidating and quite lethal, especially at higher power levels.

1. [Item 3 or 8] - or [Item 21] - or [Item 3 or 8]

2.  [Item 8 or 21] - [Item 8,14 or 18] - [Item 8,14 or 18]

 

Second Strike - Second Strike or SS level of power varies based on it's teammates and it's position in the team, if SS is in the first position, you usually won't have to worry. SS only triggers when another ability proceeds it, or a status effect is active on it's turn, because of this the method of countering may vary. Don't be fooled! Just because it's in the first position doesn't mean it going to be harmless, if Bone plating or Wrecker is paired with SS while it's in the first position, SS will proc r2-16, because they are both passively active through the entire raid. Abilities that apply a status effect [Bloodlust, Time Bomb, Toxic Screen, Sleep, Leer etc] can proc SS on the flowing round if the effect is still active on SS's turn, in this case it's best to use Harbinger of Death or Cleanse to romove the status. On a special note about Bleed from Bloodlust, SS will continually proc even if you remove the bleed damage, because of the passive lifesteal gained until the enemy heals enough, so be caucious. Outside of these cases SS will simply follow the proc patteren [visible when you use iz ci [name]] of the abilities that come before it.

 

TLDR

Full element advantage is heavily recommended! If you are not able to reach full element advantage with at least lvl 70 ultimates, and SS will proc almost every turn, it may be best to find another raid.

 

1. Paired with abilities with passive effects, while in first position [excluding , and ]

or [Item 3 or 8] - [Item 21] - or [Item 3 or 8]

2. Paired with an ability that will cause it to proc every* turn

- - or [Items 8,14 or 18] Note: this team is very RNG dependent

3. Proceeded by Round 3 abilities [still applies if SS is in 3rd position, and both proceeding abilites are Round 3]

or[Item 3 or 8] -[Item 21] - Exhaust [Item 3 or 8]

[Item 3 or 8]- [Item 21] - [Item 3 or 8] *Does not work if , or *

4. Proceeded by Round 2 abilities [This takes presidence over #3]

[Item 3 or 8] - [Item 21] - or [Item 3 or 8]

5. Proceeded by , and/or.

or [Item 21] - or [Item 3 or 8] - [Item 3 or 8]

6. Against / - - [Or something similar] and it's above 20k power,

- - [Items 2 or 8,14 and 18] Note: While it will provide highest dmg output, generally will get 20-30% cap on harder raids

 

Disclaimer: it's best to not bother with this setup unless your raid lobby is full
