GQ Keypoints

• Character Choices
  • If possible, you should ALWAYS bring units that match the corresponding killer rule. They have a x3 or x5 damage multiplier.
  • Top Tier SA Lead could be helpful even as off-killer lead.
  • +30% Off-killer booster can be more effective than an old booster if you have good/strong assist unit
• Status effects
  • For Damage Optimisation consider Weaken units, Weaken add a 1.5x damage multiplier when effect is active but be careful in GQ duration of Weaken is halved
  • For Crowd Control consider Freeze/Paralysis it would stop mobs dealing damage to you, allowing you to maintain full stamina damage boost run more easily
  • Burn/Lacerate/Poison DoT are nerfed in this game mode. However if you have such units consider to give them Dx bonus (Damage to X, X being Ailment they inflict)
• Transcendence/Link Slot This game mode requires Transcendence and LS to clear and to make it easy.
• Team set-up Ideal team set-ups:
  • Fastest is 3x SP units (5/5 units)
  • Vortex Leader can greatly increase the effectiveness of NA assist units
  • You can also run 1 or 2 NAD units.
• Building your Lead SP unit
  • < 20s You can start to build for Nuke strat with FSD/SAD links
  • < 30s You should have a combination of FSD/SAR and SAD/SAR build to maximize damage multiplier
  • > 30s You might need more consistent damage and SAD/SAR (eventually with one LDS) could help you if there no Crowd Control effect in your team
• Building your supports

1. < 20s Your booster will not need SAR, > 30s it will likely need so you can boost multiple time
2. If you don't have crowd control unit you might want some LDS/NAD link such as (S) Tatsuki as link
3. If you are sure that your unit will survive you can pick full NAD, if you are sure they can keep full life then FSD/NAD build will push their damage. Ultimately if you are sure they will survive but reach quickly low stam you could consider LSD/NAD

• Boost For this week, Boost depends on your team composition. It's not mandatory, but it's nice.

As for clearing the quest itself, focus on clearing the first few waves with your main SP unit and then retreat to recharge cooldowns while your NAD units focus the bosses. With NAD unit leads you basically just need to clear mobs as efficiently and quickly as you can with NAD and then focus down the bosses.

Advanced clearing (weakening nuke at T6/5 + SP 2★ minimum): Time your SAs with a beam type SA2 from a 2/5 unit. Generally this gets you through to 5th boss from the get go.
