Let me tell you about my late-night Pure Fiction grind - there I was, staring at these three buffs like they were mysterious desserts at a cosmic bakery. Which one would give me that sweet, sweet 3-star clear? After testing all three buffs through blood, sweat, and Trailblaze Power, here's my ultimate guide to dominating Tales of Tethered Bird.

🎯 Libel: The Domino Effect

Libel's my go-to when I'm feeling spicy with DoT teams. Imagine Kafka's lightning strikes creating shockwaves that make enemies zap each other - it's like watching dominos fall in slow motion! This bad boy transfers 60% of your DoT damage to adjacent enemies. Perfect for:

  • Kafka/Sampo mains

  • Multi-wave battles

  • Players who love seeing numbers pop up everywhere

Pro tip: Pair it with AoE attackers to turn your screen into a fireworks show! 💥

🌪️ Rumor: The Training Wheels Buff

When my DoT characters were still leveling up, Rumor became my bestie. It automatically slaps Wind Shear on enemies every turn - basically the game saying "Here, let me help you with that." Great for:

  • New players

  • Teams lacking DoT specialists

  • When you just want consistent damage

But let's keep it real - it's like using a bicycle when others are racing motorcycles. Once you've got proper DoT units, you'll outgrow this faster than Trailblazer levels up in Belobog.

⏩ Defamation: The Secret Sauce

Now this... this is where the magic happens. Every DoT tick becomes a speed boost AND healing? Defamation turns Kafka into a hypercarry on energy drinks! I once got 3 consecutive turns during a boss fight - felt like cheating (but totally legal). Requires:

  • Reliable DoT appliers

  • Glass cannon teams needing sustain

  • Players who enjoy breaking action economy

People Also Ask:

  • "Which buff is best for beginners?" ➔ Rumor

  • "Do I need Kafka for Defamation?" ➔ Not mandatory, but she's the queen

  • "Can I change buffs mid-run?" ➔ Nope, choose wisely!

🏆 The Final Verdict

Through trial and error (and several failed attempts), here's my tier list:

  1. Defamation - When properly executed

  2. Libel - Consistent damage multiplier

  3. Rumor - Training wheels edition

Remember that time I stubbornly used Rumor with my maxed Kafka? Yeah, don't be like me. Match your buff to your team's personality - whether it's the flashy Libel fireworks, Defamation's adrenaline rush, or Rumor's comforting safety net. At the end of the day, the best buff is the one that makes your team sing in harmony. Now go show those Tethered Birds who's boss! 🚀
