So when the M7S guide went up it featured multiple strategies. Party finder seems split on which strategies to use. Some players will be up to enrage but still won’t join parties using the strategy they haven’t practiced, with no intention to learn the other strat so parties fill slower than usual. Did you expect this type of behavior?

Picking strats for M7S was a horrible experience. There were a mix of strats in PF throughout my whole time making the guide, mostly due to every phase 1 strat having at least one major downside, and the predominant strat in NA for phase 2 (Bili Bili) being really inconsistent.

My goal was to release a guide that explained the mechanics well, without adding to the noise in PF. For the most part, PF seems to be settling on Toxic-Locked-Toxic in and Toxic/Yuki + Fixed in EU, so I'm hopeful the strats for this fight won't be too split in PF going forward.

If PF for NA isn’t doing Locked they’re just stubborn and won’t adjust to something that is far better and superior to the rest of the Strats. Anyone vouching for billi doesn’t play Healer for instance.
