And I also have the hero selector ticket can you please help me to pick which unit I need

Thank you so much this thread helped me so much thank you for your time! Hullo there! (^^)/

This season's vortex arenas all carry unique gimmicks which change player playstyle, the easiest example of which being the Water VA's extra skill lock. Unfortunately, we don't actually know what the gimmick is for this season's Earth VA just yet, so for now I'll just give you a general mono-Earth arena squad. Once we get the specifics, just come back and I'll help fine-tune the squad, mkay?

With the units you have, though, I'm sure that you can clear both Void Mirage and The Curse Master with relative ease! (^^)/

Mono-Earth VA

Bayley (Lead)

Ophiuchus

Osiris

Lydia

Nia OR Wannahon

Void Mirage Unit Pool

Ptah (DBB Bonded)

Sero-Anya (DBB Bonded, Doom Purge SP unlocked)

QiuTong (DBB Bonded)

Opal Goddess Tilith

Raquiel

Xenon (DBB Bonded, BBAtk SP unlocked)

Noxa

Beatrix (DBB Bonded)

Ken Kaneki OR Hakuzo (Friend 1)

Chizuru Kagura OR Kielezar OR Any UBB Evasion Lead (Friend 2)

''• For Phase 1 (VS Juggernaut), run a full mono-Light squad with the units above, setting Ptah as the lead and running Friend 2. Juggernaut will change elements every 3 turns, being immune to whatever element it's currently set to. Use the time it's immune to damage to build up OD, and nuke it with either DBB or a Recast UBB once able.''

''• For Phase 2 (VS Gazia's Barrack), use the same mono-Light squad as in Phase 1. This boss is pretty much just a DPS check. You have to be able to nuke its summoned minions before you get killed by Doom. Each time you kill its minions, it'll refresh your doom counter; however, be warned that this refresh will only continue for three cycles. Once it's summoned its third set of minions, it will no longer refresh your doom debuff. Do note that, for a confirmed but long clear, you can use Sero-Anya's self doom purge buff to bypass this doom nuke; you can then stall for ~100 turns and revive all your dead units using Sero-Anya's UBB once their doom revive debuffs expire. Again, though, this part can be easily cleared with well-timed DBBs.''

• For Phase 3 (VS Gazia, Kranus), use the squad below.

Twilight Squad

Xenon (Lead, DBB Bonded, BBAtk SP unlocked)

Ptah (DBB Bonded)

Noxa

Beatrix

Sero-Anya

Friend 2

''• You'll want to target Gazia when the Taunt debuff expires, as Gazia'll take less damage when it's up. Make good use of Sero-Anya's and your friend Lead's UBBs, as the battle ends once you push Kranus to 0% HP.''

''• For Phase 4 (VS Kranus), use the same squad as in Phase 3. DBB has made this this portion much quicker to deal with, but you should still be wary. The main gimmick here is that Kranus can only be killed when he says a certain phrase during his attack monologue - otherwise, he heals back to full. The full list of signals are detailed on [https://bravefrontierglobal.fandom.com/wiki/Rift:Andaria#The%20Void%20Lv.4 the Void Mirage wikia page. ]''

''• Your Evasion UBB from your friend Lead is definitely the most important buff here, as it's needed to survive Kranus' high damage output. In addition, Sero-Anya's UBB provides the much needed revive and mitigation buff integral to surviving the heavy damage in later phases. ''

''• Xenon's DBB works wonders here, as it can help deal with the HP reduction debuff. Give Xenon crit-related spheres and buffs so as to better improve his DBB damage.''

Overall, Void Mirage is still fairly hard, but recent updates and the release of DBB has definitely made it much more manageable.

The Voidmaster: OD Spam

Bjorn (Lead)

Tsovinar (Taunt SP unlocked)

QiuTong (DBB Bonded, Burst BC fill SP unlocked)

Ptah (DBB Bonded)

Jin

Andaria (Friend, Pallya equipped)

''• Elhaza's dungeon is an example of a heavily scripted boss battle, where the boss' moves are heavily choreographed and follow a certain cycle. Again. make sure to read the battle mechanics. The TLDR is to target the idols that appear every so often to purge Elhaza's mitigation, and to use Tsovinar's Taunt BB whenever Elhaza casts "Death calls out..." to avoid an incoming nuke.''

''• Here, you'll be cycling through Jin's and Tsovinar's/Andaria's UBBs, and utilizing either QiuTong's or Ptah's DBBs for damage. ''

''Due to the recent update, players are now locked to generating two DBB crystals per turn: one generated by activating a unit's UBB, and another by leaving a DBB candidate on Overdrive mode when you end your turn. ''

''As Jin carries a 100% Extra Action buff via UBB, and Andaria/Tsovinar carries a 100% Recast via UBB, you can, in a sense, loop the two's UBBs: you activate Jin's UBB and spam everyone else's BB/SBB to generate OD, then leave Andaria/Tsovinar on Overdrive before ending your turn, doing the same in reverse order the next turn. A note, though, that Andaria is not a DBB candidate, whereas Tsovinar is; as such, you'll be making more DBB shards per turn if you cycle through Jin+Tsov over Jin+Andaria.''

''However, if you do choose to cycle with Jin+Andaria, you will be gaining access to a UBB Evasion buff. Notably, this defensive buff is cleansed by Elhaza during his cycling moveset, but it's a safe choice for added damage mitigation. If you find, though, that you're struggling still with Elhaza's damage output, just come back and we'll iron out the kinks in this squad. (^^)/''

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope this helped! (^^)/ Thank you so much for this! I just have one question on which unit to pick for the Hero Selector Ticket. Thank you for your time <3 Ah! Apologies, I seemed to have overlooked that, haha.

Technically speaking, your unit pool is already pretty well rounded, so at this point your decision for the Hero Selector boils down to two things: which piece of content you're aiming to clear, and which element requires the most Quality of Life updates (i.e. "ironing out the chinks").

Based on what you have thus far, I'm drawn towards your picking of either Utheria or Viviane&Orah. The former is a great Spark buffer, Recaster, & OD filler, capable of bonding with your Gilgamesh for access to an extra DBB; the latter provides a ton of support buffs, including DoT+ailment management, healing, and a mono-Water tristat boost.

Whichever you choose, though, your mono-Water squad will be incredibly greatful - especially considering the copious amounts of late-game content requiring mono-Water squads for an efficient clear (e.g. Amduat, The Savage Lion). (^^)/
