Hey there! Sorry for the late response, friendo! (^^)/

You unfortunately lack enough units to fill up most of your squads, so any empty slots will be filled by Geodes instead. Needless to say, I'm worried about whether or not squads running Geodes will be decent in RC7 raids. My suggestion is to just leave RC7 out of the equation for now, and to try to get more units.

That said, here're your squads!

Mono-Fire

Czorag (Lead)

Amus

Seria

Natalame

Fire Geode

Mugen (Friend)

Mono-Water / The Savage Lion

Thoth (Lead)

Vail & Vidron

Giselle (DBB bonded)

Serin (Extra Action SP unlocked)

Water Geode OR Karl*

Thoth OR Jin (Friend)

''• Once you clear The Warmonger, you'll get access to Karl, who acts as Seria's DBB partner. Once you pair them together, you'll get access to the broken Steam DBB, which makes chaining DBBs much easier. ''

''• You should be able to clear The Savage Lion with this squad, provided you get Karl. The basic idea is to cycle through Giselle's and Serin's UBBs, and to use Giselle's DBB 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 Serin carries a 100% Extra Action buff via UBB, and Giselle carries a 100% Recast via UBB, you can, in a sense, loop the two's UBBs: you activate Serin's UBB and spam everyone else's BB/SBB to generate OD, then leave Giselle on Overdrive before ending your turn, doing the same in reverse order the next turn.

• As DBB damage scales exponentially when it crits, make sure that your DBB caster (Giselle) is equipped with crit-boosting buffs; in addition, make sure that before you cast the DBB, various crit-related buffs via SBB and UBB are active (e.g. from Serin).

''• I personally recommend using Phase 1 to grind for Synergy Shards, and nuke Baragan in Phase 2 and 3. This is because Baragan casts a turn skip debuff on his second phase, which is dangerous given the 35 turn limit of this dungeon.''

• As per usual, read the mechanics of the dungeon here.

Mono-Earth

Nia (Lead)

Honoka & Hisa

Bayley

Faelan

Earth Geode

Osiris (Friend)

Mono-Thunder

Ma'at (Lead)

Vrana

Zelion

N'an-Wang-Mu

Crash

Tevarius (Lead)

• You can use Vrana as a lead instead of Ma'at.

Mono-Light

Hakuzo (Lead)

Vanila

Quentin & Quinn

Persenet

Opal Goddess Tilith (mitigation SP unlocked)

Ken Kaneki OR Chizuru Kagura OR Hakuzo (Friend)

Mono-Dark

Katerin (Lead)

Lico

Neferet

Vohu

Herald of Yggdrasil

Set (Friend)

The Warmonger: OD Spam

Seria (Lead)

Serin

Giselle (DBB bonded)

N'an-Wang-Mu

Neferet

Osiris (Friend)

• Just like in The Savage Lion, you'll be cycling through Serin's and Giselle's UBBs for DBB shards, and'll be using Giselle's DBB for damage.

''• Zaad's dungeon is fairly straightforward: just follow the mechanics of the dungeon, and you'll be fine. It's really more of a puzzle dungeon, really - the only big issue is his third phase, but other than that it's a walk in the park.''

The Cursemaster & The Spire: Light Steam Cheese

Vanila (Lead, Taunt SP unlocked)

Opal Goddess Tilith (Iridescent Hope equipped)

Hakuzo (Recast SP unlocked)

Karl (DBB bonded, Lad Mirazh equipped)

Kranus (DBB bonded)

Any 30% BC cost reduction lead (Friend)

''• 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 Vanila's Taunt BB whenever Elhaza casts "Death calls out..."''

''• For Spire use, you'll most probably be ripping through most of the lower levels just by using Karl's DBB. For the final level, though, you'll be cycling through Kranus' and Hakuzo's UBBs for both defense and offense. So as to make this easier, you'll be running two 30% BC cost reduction leads, who, in addition to Tilith & Karl, make up an 80% BC cost reduction. You can fill up the remaining 20% with spheres that reduce BC cost.''

I hope this helped! (^^)

@Kkytes!

appreciate the help ,sorry i wasnt able to quote your previous reply to my post as it was my first time posting here :(,  i have not been playing since 2013 and recently logged  ago. as for the above i obtained new units: Karl, Lugina, Baelfyr, Cerise, Draegar, Rahotep,another nia, another vanilla, another kranus, Long, Nagid, Loving Goddess Tillith, Vashi, Ilm, Gabriela,Luina, Sae, Vikki, Arthur, Zekuu. and im planning to complete my Grand Quest, Rift ( unlock andaria, serenthis, aurelia.

Rally looking forward to your reply! im hyped! :) Hi again! (^^)/

You'll have to be more specific as to which Grand Quest you'll want to clear; after all, there're 21 GQs out right now, and I'm not about to clutter the thread with 21 squads for each quest, yeah?

I'll gladly help you prep some squads for Andaria's, Saerenthis', and Aurelia's Frontier Rifts, though!

Drowning Darkness: Mono-Thunder

Ma'at (Lead)

Vrana

Zelion

N'an-Wang-Mu

Cerise OR Long

Tevarius (Lead)

''• This squad is usually trivialized by DBB, but seeing as you don't have access to it currently, you'll have to run a vanila clear. Basic battle mechancis found here. ''

• A simplified user guide made by Linathan can be found here. 

​​​​​​--

Essence of Time: OD Spam

Vanila (Lead, Taunt SP unlocked)

Nia

Hakuzo (Recast SP unlocked)

Karl (DBB bonded, Lad Mirazh equipped)

Kranus (DBB bonded)

Andaria (Friend, Pallya equipped)

''• The idea here is simple: spam your Andaria friend's UBB for both Recast and Evasion. In case of turnskip, Nia's available.''

''• To make it easier on you, you'll be running a pseudo 0BC squad amounting to an 80% BC cost reduction. Fill in the remaining 20% with spheres that reduce BC cost. Ideally, at least Nia should have 0BC available to her.''

''• When possible, make good use of Kranus' DBB. Again, DBB damage increases should it crit, so equip Kranus with various crit-related buffs and spheres. To better grind for Synergy Shards, use Karl's Steam DBB with Seria whenever possible.''

​​​​​​--

Void Mirage Unit Pool

Hakuzo (Lead, Recast SP unlocked)

Vanila

Quentin & Quinn

Persenet

Opal Goddess Tilith (mitigation SP unlocked)

Kranus (Doom Purge SP unlocked)

Neferet (DBB bonded)

Lico

Wendy OR Ken Kaneki OR Hakuzo (Friend 1)

Chizuru Kagura OR Kielezar OR Any other Dark/Light Evasion buffer (Friend 2)

''• For Phase 1 (VS Juggernaut) run the Mono-Light squad I gave you up above. Juggernaut will change elements every 5 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 Hakuzo's UBB once able.''

''• For Phase 2 (VS Gazia's Barrack) use the same Mono-Light squad. 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 quick cheese, you can use Kranus' self doom purge buff to bypass this doom nuke; you can then stall for ~100 turns and revive all your dead units using Kranus' UBB once their doom revive debuffs expire.''

''• For Phase 3 (VS Gazia, Kranus) use the squad listed below. You'll want to target Kranus, as Gazia'll be immune to damage. Make good use of Kranus' UBB, as the battle ends once you push Kranus to 0% HP.''

Kranus (Lead, DBB bonded)

Neferet (DBB Bonded)

Vanila

Hakuzo

Opal Goddess Tilith OR Lico

UBB Evasion Friend

''• For Phase 4 (VS Kranus), 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 friend is definitely the most important unit here, as they provide a UBB Evasion buff that's needed to survive Kranus' high damage output. In addition, Kranus' UBB provides the much needed revive and mitigation buff integral to surviving the heavy damage in later phases.''

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope this helped! (^^)/ I really appreciate your replies to all of us here ive been skeptical about posting somethingnlike this because you know the game has been released for a few years now and still there are plenty of players playing! Thank you so much! And one more thing in regards to OD spam do i need to have specific spheres for that? Because im worried that i might not have enough od fill for my ubb and Kranus has to be on the defensive build right? And i have been searching for a friend that has tevarius and andaria and no luck so any alternatives for those units?

Thank you!!!!
