Karlan Trade be like "No need for Medic if we can kill everything before taking damage"

[Phos]

Rhine labs gets a lot more balanced with the addition of Dorothy

[m.wafiraihan]

Maybe the Kazimierz group? Or if you want a specific one, what about a Pinus Sylvestris group? Or maybe if you want a more unique one, try Abyssal Hunters Or Chiave Gang? An expensive one would probably be the Sui Siblings i think? No matter what it is, i'm sure it'll be a good content to discuss nontheless...

[dryptosaurus]

You talking about Rhine Labs having two medics and the best healing defender reminded me of the Followers, who only have 2 medics and a healing defender (but also backstory wise it makes sense, since they want to help people suffering).

[Gante_Gato]

I'd LOVE to see an Iberiaknights squad review. Also Abyssal Hunters but like... its not a secret that they're busted, so idk if that one's really necessary

[YandereENjoyer]

This is fun content. Need more of these

Ok, this might be a bit of a weird one, but operators who share VAs with FGO servants from the British isles (so the UK plus Ireland). This gives you Siege (Artoria), Nightingale (Morgan), Gladiia (Manannan mac Lir), Rosa (Gray), Pallas (Barghest), Passenger (Merlin) and Gnosis (Diarmuid). You could also do this with Servants of Japanese origin with Dusk (Hokusai), Nearl (Musashi), Nian (Shuten Douji), Kal'tsit (Kijyo Koyo), Mostima (Kagetora), Surtr (Oryou), Saileach (Raikou), Thorns (Hajime) and Lee (Kojiro). It might be interesting to also see what other games or anime have shared VAs and the teams you can make from them

I think looking at nicheknights groups would be really good.

E.G. comparing Vanguardknights against Guardknights etc. How well each main-class of unit would be able to handle things, how many ops they have that can cover multiple roles or shore up weaknesses - like defenders having great survivability, healing and even ground DPS with arts defenders.. but being very weak to air.

Also felineknights, birdknights, etc, going by species ... or going purely by what region they are from (ursus, kazimierz, laterano etc)...

I think dividing up in this way would be a lot more interesting and give you bigger pools to work with.

i’ve been playing with rim billiton ops for a while and its honestly really fun theres no super overpowered units you have schwarz yes but her range can be pretty harsh to use which i think balances that out you have arts dmg in amiya leonhardt and ayers april for medium assassination schwarz and surprisingly kroos alter for boss killing you even have a wandering medic in honeyberry rope for funny hole action blacknight for dp and some wild sleep stall strats asbestos, savage and popukar for lane holding and ansel for general helping with healing

[veilego]

some interesting mono-faction squads to cover could be the L.G.D, the Lee's Detective Agency, Blacksteel, and the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group

[DylanoRevs]

Do Victoriaknights. Lots of known operators were born from that country. And some are pretty strong and reliable in easy to difficult stages

[lancergt]

1:19 There's loads of stages that have been beaten by Magallan and/or Mayer all by themselves, does that still count as a Rhine Lab clear

[lapchaell]

Right now i'm finishing up with building my Lupo squad (including sora because no self sustain, and shes pretending to be one anyways so why not) and after im done with pozy i'm planning on playing karlanknights since they're sitting in my account since break the ice, collecting dust.

[cesar_acb]

The Abyssal Hunters are one of the smaller groups and yet they're the most self sustainable, Gladiia's healing over time, Skadi and Specter's HP and ATK buffs make them very resilient units, and they're only going to get stronger once the ability to use their Alters on the same squad comes to Global

[Smis]

///A bit of cn spoilers ig(?)
well probably everyone here already knows this but the Abyssal Hunters, considering future cn content ig, are by far the most versatile team in the game: a lot of damage, utility, arts damage, healing/damage mitigation(this already comes from just gladiia lmao) all they really lack is aerial coverage, even tho they have a sniper it doesn't prioritize aerial so in a drone heavy map with trash mobs, you might get smacked. Tho gladiia s3 can counter aerials pretty well if they come in waves, big if tho

[Victorvonbass]

You could analyze by nation. Victoria and Columbia have a decent amount of ops, etc.

Catknights, etc is cool too

[RandomPotato]

You could probably count all the operators from one region if the series goes on, like Higashi or Iberia for example.

I'm waiting till next CC to try out my victoria squad to see how things would go. I haven't seen what the CC map is or what enemies there are so far (plan to find it out when it's out) but hopefully with horn things would be much more doable ;-; yet to get an R18 with them. last 2 CCs made me use someone extra from outside and even then only went up till R14

I use operators who are under the victoria faction but I also use people like blaze cuz she's born there. till Horn and Shalem, the only 3 block my squad had was her... lol. so far I did enjoy using them in chapter 10 where I killed the boss with them as well (Heidi was crucial for it) was annoying af tho cuz of timings.

Look into victoria when you can XD we have GG, Blaze, Bagpipe my beloved, Saileach my beloved, my HORNiness, Phantom, etc. 4 healers? Breeze and Hibiscus (hibiscus alter hypee)by default but there's Quercus and Nightmare who also can heal. 3 snipers tho I'm missing the one who does most damage (toddifons). May and Jessicat are good enough for what they do. Iris is surprisingly useful in very niche situations. Bena is nice when you need someone to bait. and the best of all. U get to ACTIVATE MELANTHA SKILL

[winterblessed.]

Going by region or race would seem interesting! Maybe FelineKnights, SarkazKnights, or LupoKnights

[daag]

I once was so bored I played through the first chapters (up to chapter 3) with only BSW girls, except for two stages: (last one (too much damage from Skullshatter), and the one with centurion (one jessica for two drone lanes is not enough))
It can actually be finished (all 3 starts)

*and yes actually it starts to get complicated only after half of the second chapter*
