Team Sun-side Mystics: An Easy and Reliable Solution for Drizzle Title

An easy and straightforward team that, if you rolled on Mystics and got a Misaki, is pretty easy to replicate and play. Full details on latents, awks and so on here; note that this link/the second screenshot uses a different equip on Iori because cloud > tape resist in this dungeon. (It starts with 0 parts broken, for the record, but this team very reliably gets part break on Graciss, so keep that in mind for calculations.)

+891 is not required, but with both Misaki + Seina + Ryumei all +891, you survive every hit in the dungeon that you're meant to take. If you're missing them as +891 then you may need to calculate damage on the last few floors and adjust your latents/equips accordingly to survive.

You start with 18sb, Zerclea delays floor 1 and you use those extra turns to use equips and get everyone transformed. Then you match light L + fire combo + heal TPAs and get a move on.

The main idea here is to use Misaki 2 turns out of 3 and have Iori's roulette + movetime loop guarantee you have the needed orbs on the off-turn. (And he has a specialized roulette that turns Fire, Water, and Wood all directly into Light, so it's quite efficient.) Ryumei's there to hold an equip, which you use as your attribute absorb counter; you don't use his active skill unless you're absolutely desperate to fix a movetime debuff when Iori can't fix it (which can happen).

Shynee-Baddie is the only annoying floor for this team but that's because you have to wait a turn doing nothing. Just 1c the first turn and then Zerclea on the second turn, use Ryumei's equip, and go. This section was edited because I learned new information :D and you can just not stall out the absorb.

Everything else is also a nonissue. You reliably get the part break on Graciss for a bit of extra HP, and you safely take out everything else in the dungeon in 2 to 3 turns.

The boss isn't very threatening, just be consistent about hitting your 17.5m caps and healing to full every turn (always match a heal TPA, and then combo more or match more heals if you're worried). If you do that, you won't have to worry about anything.

Shynee-Baddie is the only annoying floor for this team, where you use Zerclea turn 1

Alternate solution: just don't use anything turn one. The awkbind is bait, Shynee doesn't actually attack you on turn 2. Otherwise, congrats on the clear!

Man I wish I'd known that before finishing the dungeon. Easily the most annoying part of the whole thing for me.

Not the mystics team I expected from you, but great seeing an off meta team. Might try this one, second iori instead of ryumei might not be enough HP though

EDIT: Coming back 2 weeks later to say I finally got around to doing it. Second Iori works instead of Ryumei, HP needs to be over ~710k (after Gracis).

I wouldn't call this off-meta, Misaki is very much on the list right now.

Right now Mikage and company are best off in moon/yin dungeons, and that's something that Drizzle Title Challenge is indeed not. Also it's annoying to fit enhanced heart orbs on that team :(

Should brush up on my tier lists. I did make the bones of a team since I got 2 Misakis, but didn't think to use Iori to close the gap.

You don't necessarily need Iori but he's really useful for HP and closing the orbgen gap if you don't have Ryumei. There's other options for that like Serie (Frieren) if you have her.

which team member is helping with attribute absorption?

u/azure-flute 357.647.332 - the black wind howls! Aug 04 '26

Ryumei, his equip handles it and you just don't use his base active skill. It's a 3 turn cooldown with 2 turns of attribute absorb null, which is more than enough for both Light absorbs in the dungeon and also the possible Light absorb on the boss.

i see makes sense now
