The Duras Sisters - advice please

Captain JM

Not sure if I've messed up of not...

I got Lursa a while back and levelled her up to 100 FE not realising that I really needed to leave her with an item missing so I could FF and get the Duras sisters. I realised after making Tuvix.

I got B'Etor last week. If I FF her but leave her unequipped can I still make the Duras sisters with Lursa FE but 1*?

If I remember correctly you need a FF/99 sister and a 1* sister.

So I would have to FF/99 B'Etor and then fuse with Lursa? Bother, that's quite a waste of resources.

I doesn’t matter what level they are, so long as they are not at 100. When I fused mine everyone was at level 1

It seems it worked. I cited B'Etor and got the option to make the Duras sisters even though Lursa was level 100 FE.

Yes, the only thing you can't do is have one of the two immortalized. So you can either have one FF/FE at Lvl 99, or FF Lvl 100 with at least one item unequipped. Having one FF Lvl 1 and the other 1/3 Lvl 100 FE should work fine also, as you've now proven.

To create a Duras Sisters, you need 3/3 of one, and at least 1/3 of the other. The level doesn't really matter (so long as they aren't at 100).

You can fuse three level 1 Lursas with one level 1 B'Etor, and you'll get a level 1 one-star Duras Sisters.

I obtained my initial Duras Sisters after having immortalized both Lursa and B'Etor.

Interesting, when I did mine all of the posts about making the Duras Sisters were emphatic that the first one had to be made with a 3* level 99.

I know that after the first was fused I was able to use all level 1 sisters.

It’s not required to have the first one at 99 FE, but it is the general wisdom to do so as it’s considered easier to FE one of the 3*s than to FE the sisters as 4*s.

Thanks all. Looks like there's a few ways to do it but as long as one is FF and one is 1* it worked, even though I was level 100 FE. I got 1/4* FE duras sisters.

Actually ... I've always advocated on the Forums (since way back when) to level to 100 but to not equip either the lvl 96 or 99 item, depending on which 3* sister you level, as the 4* version has relatively easy items for each of those slots.

--> Reason being:
lvl 96: Lursa - 4* Encoded Communique; B'Etor - 4* Covert Contacts; The Duras Sisters - 4* House Duras Crest.
lvl 99: Lursa - 4* Lursa's Communicator; B'Etor - 5* House Duras Crest; The Duras Sisters - 4* Klingon Warnog.
EDIT: Highlighted the irritating items (from my perspective from when I was making the 4* version).

The lvl 90 and 93 items are easier for each individual 3* than for the combined 4*.

For Tuvix you do want to FE the character you choose to level, so either 3* Tuvok (easiest) or Neelix ... so you'd stop at lvl 99.

Like Rara, I've advocated leveling to 100 but leaving one item unequipped — but for a different reason. I think it's far too easy to accidentally apply too many trainers and speed right by level 99. Leaving one item unequipped, on the other hand, is far easier and safer, imo.

In any case, you don't want either of the two crew you're fusing together to be immortalized — that's the key. And honestly, you don't have to level them at all if you don't want to — you can merge a level 1 3/3 Tuvok with a level 1 1/3 Neelix and it'll work fine. It's just generally easier to level up rares than super-rares.
