Selkette (Poll and Discussion)

He just want another vixen or Selene.

Funny enough, selkette pairs well with albion despite gravity field.

Eh. My HP boosted selkette gets to hold ground with 2 toxic killer hits from padrinorca (elemental disadvantage) which is the same amount padrinorca uses to kill HP Charypdia (elemental advantage).

Most of the meta monsters in game kills her easily. Double piercing blow from fire unicorn, double melancholy and antidote (pretty common move on other monsters too) from berry (again pretty common actually), and the maneater brigade.

68% for a minimal in pact FL monster is not a good speed stat at all. Too fast for nyx and too slow to disrupt the real fast FL mythics (gravity fielf makes it even useless).

Mid game she is okay but again 68% is not fast at all to take a turn when 20% roaring entrance monsters with instant kill moves exist and you usually don’t want to repulse certain monsters since mid game where all the entrance monsters are at (dreamy entrance, token, roaring entrance, or death revenge rockoid which is her biggest counter) and that’s the fastest way for her to poison and start sweeping (she essentially has 0 other utilities that makes her a threat).

Late game where she shines the best now that her poison eater move have been buffed to ignore defensd stats but she can easily be deadweight since repulse might turn off or get stuck with death revenge protecters or AP that are poisoned while her main targets are purified which she basicly can only do 93tu piercing move on a rockoid or 136 double kinslayer move to not even dent a monster since it barely kills anything with good defensive move. This is also where a lot of poison immune monsters exists like doomgo or luna so she is also not a threat there.

So yeah. She is very situational and people who haven’t used her think she is now great when medusa, luna, and even vixian vastly outpace her in every aspect including sweeping. :woman_shrugging:

I strongly disagree with this statment as nagadia is a great midgame monster and she is only 60 speed

She has a far superier turn 1 than a selkette obviously but 60 speed is still more than sufficient

I see people are so desperate to ask buff for a very strong mythic. Her repulse skill is so deadly if u have a low tu sweeper. And she can sweep or kill on every turn+ she has boosted passive.people just being too bias.

That’s why the rest of paragraph is important, oomfie. I mean Zephyramus is 66% and he is an amazing FL mythic (broken you might even say) so context matter a lot.

Afcourse bestie! The entire issue is just selkette being very not impactful. Im hoping she not gonna be another majorie and require X amount if buffs before she is usable (X caus majorie still not usablešŸ˜‚)

I think the issue is that we have semi goggles on when it comes to alot of these a bit more mid monsters. Caus we got used to new releases like tengoku selene medusa etc which all just enter and is an immidiete threat. And we seem to try and avoid monsters that dont bring something to the table immidietly.

The numbers for that don’t add up. It should deal 1200 damage when she’s on full health which doesn’t even bring her below hardened carapace so you need a second hit and then the third will do 2400. That will bring her to HG if she’s not HP boosted, but with HP boost it should take a fourth hit.

This. Selkette is fine. She’s ā€œvery strongā€ when looking at her overall. There are obviously plenty of stronger mythics than her. However, I see absolutely no reason to buff her because everything about her looks very functional.

She is not completely functional but I won’t argue otherwise especially if you haven’t tested her yourself. Just like the string theory, not all numbers add up with reality.

Comparing understanding Selkette to string theory is pretty hilarious :stuck_out_tongue:

I appreciate all the insight you gave into how she feels in practice but I’m interested to know what you’re running her alongside. It sounds like she might be the only poison monster in that position.

End-game seems like the worst place to use her since you can get stuck unable to target particular enemies depending on how things line up.

i would play her in the same spot some poison egs play charybdia

so

selkette freezecobra asmodia gorgodrake gazer

due to her being APA this would also allow freeze a instant detox strike if you got alot of controll

that is just my personal opinion tho

Edit: i put this idea out here in hope someone will try it out next season ones poison free caus i aint got her and id like to know

I run her Charypdia 5th spot and she is in 9th spot. I’m trying to utilize her ā€œrawā€ move than can be played with ap to be protected by ap but maybe a poison endgame is better for her

Basicly a pseudo-Luna

Tried this close to the endgame with rockoids too I liked it better (It’s also second form asmodia but she did her job well still

Oh so you’re using her around protectors or maybe otherwise non-aggressive monsters?

I think Selkette isn’t a monster you want to run like a sweeper behind protectors. She’s too restricted in her targets, you will lose control of the situation. She will benefit from teammates doing plenty of killing so there are enough enemies entering poisoned (being options for her), plus her auto-poison is going to make your other sweepers more potent.

I feel like she’s more like an enabler / poison support rather than a sweeper, she just comes with efficient sweeping too because she’s a mythic and things are getting power crept. She’s like a mythic version of Oakthulhu.

what do you mean? :thinking:

rockoids (special ones 2 of them) then Selene and Doomgo. This is after the poison ā€œmidgameā€ with the 3 I mentioned above.

yeah that works i would personaly have been more agressive with it and finished it of with gorgodrake gazer haneri. i leand fully into the poison

but doing it as a midgame is workable i personaly wouldent be to big a fan of running stuff with hg behind her or freeze tho due them poisoning everything that enters on both side

I made a stupid mistake when doing this calculation… I used the damage for chrono killer (originally put as a placeholder, then forgot to switch it). Toxic killer is weaker so I’ve now corrected it to this…

Not trying to bring it up as a topic again, just wanted to correct myself

Despite one of her moves relying on the ability to repulse stuff, she has a strange yet efficient synergy with albion. Due to her autopoison, sleepbombs from goldirel are more unreliable and she can reliably bypass ap. The poison healing if able, also work really well.

(I basically just tried to get as much bypass mons next to albion before he was buffed to see if he is worth it.)

It’s an interesting rocklock setup, but the rock is replaced with goldirel
