String masters buffs, are they usable now?
So with their speed being 107 and the buff to their song, which one will be usable now?? Fire and water looks very legit, whats your opinions?

Dark one was good before, now even better for GW Offense cause of the higher base spd and bonus stun+attack bar reduce on 2nd skill
Mirinae - Dove/Teon/Kona - Fat Lushen
Water one is better for 4* RTA now as a last pick if the enemy is using team with multiple buffs.
Fire can be used as a fast attack buffer for your team - pair her up with attack units on Vio
Wind and Light on is still meh as they rely heavily on skill 2 that reduces HP of the enemy by 5% and you can just easily stun them

On paper it doesn't look strong enough, but I guess I'll have to wait and see how they play. I'll let the people who have more resources to burn than I do, skill her up and test her.

Water is viable now where I really think she wasn't before due to the speed increase and extended time in the song, although it'd be great if she got a bit of extra tankiness to go with the speed decrease.
Fire was always usable, I use mine as a shield/will bomb comp set up (her with Liebli and Sian was/is very strong againt Khmun Skogul Vigor, the leader skill helps everyone survive and that third skill is actually pretty loaded.
Wind... yeah.
Dark was pretty good before is specific GW/Arena comps and is now even better, much easier to rune for purpose.
Light... yeah.

None of their songs do enough, honestly

Why? If u can get 1st turn, with water no enemy can get a buff, with fire every ally will have an atk buff ( stays even if u vio procs 10 times)

Sure, but if you can get first turn you can generally do something more useful than prevent buffs, like Lushen. Having to give strings a fast AF set for first turn so they can provide a slightly longer attack buff makes them underwhelming

That literally makes no sense. Your comparing a damage dealer to a support mon that fills a different role not ment for a lushen comp. Any mon that can def break and cycle turns such as beth will cleave more than you can ever understand with this buff. Ps. Even in ur lushen team your have two support mons move first. Its part of the comp. Im not spoiling cleave ideas i have to use for it but for people who cant outspeed and want a 2nd turn cleave the new buff will do wonders.

I'm comparing a hypothetical first turn Monster (string masters) to other first turn monsters (Bastet, Bernard, etc) who set up Lushen - I'm not comparing Lushen to a support monster at all
Beth might benefit from fire string being active, but that would take you using fire string, Beth, presumably a bar booster (unless you've got a bunch of spare fast AF swift sets), an AoE strip (for Beth's defence break) and a leader skill. That's a lot of effort for what sounds a lot like a standard cleave setup
Yes, you have two support mons in a Lushen comp. Find the relevance
I can't believe you're not willing to suggest comps because you don't wanna spoil them, it isn't Game of Thrones 💀💀
Second turn cleaves in general just aren't viable these days. Too many strippers on AD

how exactly beth cycles turns? am i missing something?

Exactly, maybe they r not relevant for ao but for rta they can be a fantastic last pick
Imagine diana madness with atk buff, or as u said hell ladies, ken, fire ryu....
Im really excited for this buff ^^
P.S not sure if works with fire ryu counterattack but if yes thats a big buff

There is a new balance patch. You can check it on Reddit!

I just read it. No idea about them tho. Looks very powerful to use, but in very specific comps I guess.

Water and Dark, yes, very solid buffs,
Wind is still trash,
Was already using fire, will need to tweak runes so have her do the exact same thing, for me, the buff actually made her worst.
Light, well you dont see her often, she annoying, now she's even more annoying
Is light annoying? I pulled her a while back and haven’t been able to find a use for her

Just check the first fight, it says it all basically.
Now it will be easyer to get her to do what she is supposed to. But it's not fun gameplay, it's super stall, long drawn out fights. On defense she is cancer. She kind of needs an immunity buffer with her constantly
Hmm dang ok! That does seem like a super long game play. But a good idea! Thanks for that!
Enjoy your 4* shiny
You need to make her very tanky thought
i'm considering building the fire string too! what are you using her for now, and why do you say the buff made her worse?
Basically, i use her with 2 bombers to deal with Khmun, Vigor, Skogol pretty efficiently.
The point his, ennemy team goes first, double bomb, gg
But if she goes first, pushes up the atk bar and your bombers face a will wall. Well its goodnight charlie.
Mine is right now tuned with 226 speed, after buff she'll be 235
If i take for exemple my most used bombers with her (sian and Dover)
They are speed tuned at 224 (dover) and 215 (sian)
In G1 siege, 226 makes her fast enough to follow up after ennemy team, but not fast enough to go before a 19% spd lead KVS in most cases.
So yeah, i'll have to tweak her runes to work
oh that's just 1 specific thing then, i'm not planning to use her for bomber comps so i guess i'm good.

Isn't G1 siege full of F3 scrubs or do I misunderstand the appellation because my guild is g1 and we're pretty bad
