The Mo Long counter Advent Calendar - Day 8
The team: Zaiross Galleon Amir
Usable against: Anything with no additional strip (i.e. Iris) or immunity (i.e. Triana, Harmonia, Betta).
How it works: Basic shield/will galleon aoe cleave team. Stack shield sets to protect against Mo Long S3. Shield protects squishier monsters against reckless assault fairly well, since reckless assault calculates S3 damage based on the monster's HP not including shield runes. So if you stack enough shield sets even the squishiest monster can still end up with over 50% of his HP left after Mo Long uses reckless assault on it. You just have to pray that Mo Long doesn't proc into S2, and for the enemy Perna or other DD to not proc too much to kill anything through shield/will.
Please note that I do not have the team that I used in the video properly runed. I apologize, it's FRR today. I know Zaiross should have died. The team only had 2 shield sets total. Amir is also suppose to be on double shield will to give the team a total of 4 shield sets, but I had forgotten I reruned him for something else. With 4 shield sets Zaiross would have been healthy enough for Perna to target Amir instead.
Strategy: Just cleave it.
Runing considerations:
Everything should be shield/will if possible. I recommend at the very minimum to have 4 shield sets total. That means you can have 1 monster on something else like rage/fatal/despair/broken/whatever.
Anywhere between 150-190 speed should be good speed for a second turn shield/will cleave team. If you go faster you start risking outspeeding slower will runed monsters. If you go slower you start risking getting lapped by fast monsters.
It's important to rune shield/will monsters with a decent amount of HP on top of the shield sets just to give you extra protection against procs that can simply kill you through shield/will. I like to get about +10k HP, more if it's a wind DD that needs to tank Perna. If you use 2 nukers, having enough damage is rarely going to be an issue, so sacrificing some damage to ensure you survive the first turn is top priority.
Seriousness factor: 5/10. Note that this rating is if you rune the team properly, which again I did NOT do in the video. This is the kind of team that you use if you're on your last sword in siege, have run out of proper Mo Long counters, and are tired of fighting the endless stream of Mo Long towers anyway so you're willing to gamble on something quick and easy just to get it over with.
