[GBF] Dark Rapture Zero - Earth Primal with Valentine Makura and Damascus Knife 363 DPM

Damascus Knife inspired by Woomie and this video    • 【グラブル】速めのルシゼロ土グローリー分409  

Some notes, firstly special sieg dagger vs defense, special is more
damage for sure but I think I'd prefer the defense one since this grid doesn't have garrison, plus on second thought the damascus knife is really just a different variety of special sieg axe in the sieg axe/sieg dagger grid so I think this works out well.

Second I'd really like garrison here over the celestial but Caim doesn't get enough TA to get to 100% without 10% from a weapon here so celestial is the best fit for defense/TA available, plus if going with a defensive sieg dagger you need CA cap for 20m CA so this is also just the best slot in for this particular grid. In addition to this you could have caim be below 100% TA but you'd need to press olivia s3 on TA trigger and since you don't have clarity that's not always an option without waiting.

Going off of clarity on first glance this is a huge miss but it actually doesn't matter really at all with this setup. As mentioned before with caim having 100% TA even if olivia gets locked down at 95% since your rotation always starts on a red button caim will always have a red card here and while it's a bit longer of a button that clarity it essentially fills the same role as pressing clarity in this situation anyway.

Clarity also doesn't matter later for 60 hits either thanks to dama knife, dama knife provides echoes on all hits not just the third hit like makura or vikala's weapons so you add a LOT of extra hits in this comp especially since two of your units have double strike and assuming makura has dual-bladed menace up she and olivia both have split autos, below is some math on how many hits you get in this comp assuming everyone autos

MC 4 hits 3 times = 12, 3 hits 3 times = 9, 2 hits 2 times (skill) = 4 = 25

Caim 4 hits 3 times = 12

Olivia 8 hits 3 times = 24, 2 hits 1 time (olivia) = 2 = 26

Makura no menace 4 hits 2 times = 8, 3 hits 2 times = 6, 4 hits 2 times = 8 (skill), 2 hits 2 times (Olivia) = 4 = 26
= 89

makura with menace 8 hits 2 times = 16, 6 hits 2 times = 12, 4 hits 2 times = 8 (skill), 2 hits 2 times (Olivia) = 4 = 40
= 103

makura with menance follow ups = 8
=111

After seeing this you can see that there are a LOT of free hits here and because of this you have to get incredibly screwed on the turn of 60 hits where multiple people are either blinded or can't multi attack for clarity to be needed, here's some examples:

Even if makura was completely blinded for every hit of 60 hits she'd still do 10 hits and you'd still get 73 hits, 81 if she has menace

And if makura was completely blinded and olivia can't multi attack but makura has menace you'd still do 65

So essentially you can just attack with everyone at 60 hits and you will clear unless everyone is completely locked down which is unlikely.

Also as you can see from the amount of hits you can clear 99 hits purely by attacking if makura has menace up. This means you can put all your firepower into 99m damage, the rotation I use for 99m is Caim 4th skill beatdown, Makura s3, Olivia s3 and that's all you need

For Caim if I get 12 skills and he has everything available I like to double deal his s4 into a potion and then copy that potion for more of them post 20, Makura you can double deal s2 if you haven't already done so earlier in the run, s3 is also fine. Olivia you can double deal s1 or s3 depending on the situation, pretty much Olivia is what allows you to move freely post 20% without taking fated chains, you need at least one s3 for 99m damage so this can be double dealed if needed for 12 skills. You can also double deal s1 but make sure you use it once labor 8 is down to actually land the debuff (unless you are labor 8 in which case just go ahead). Also note for olivia s1 that 000 can also be used to cancel a fated chain trigger and is what I use it for if I didn't need it to reroll 6 CA. If you did have to reroll 6 CA you HAVE to keep as many olivia s1's as possible to be able to move outside of 99m and 99 hits turns or else you are stuck because this comp doesn't ougi for fated chain bar outside of the 55% labor one. If you don't have to use 000 for 6 CA then you can be more free with your s1 usage because you get to cancel one fated chain for free.

Guarding caim is good for lockout anytime you don't need him I also like aggro up emps on him because even though makura may dodge less him guarding 24/7 while taking no damage is stupid when olivia and makura are taking all the hits for free, especially in a grid like this with less garrison splitting the damage is nice.

You can use makura s2 pretty much off CD unless getting close to 20% in which case if you press it you'll want to double deal it, s3 I would save to get rid of yellow apple at 55% and then for 99m damage
