These samplers apply the LoRA at 100% strength:

1) DPM++ 2S a — ★ Best Overall

• Maximum sharpness, strong color, excellent micro-detail.

• No need to lower LoRA strength.

• Best: 5–(8,9,10,etc). steps, CFG 1, LoRA 1.0.

2) Euler A — ★ Cleanest Style

• Extremely consistent in low steps.

• Great for anime/cartoon styles.

• Best: 4–(8,9,10,etc). steps, CFG 1, LoRA 1.0.

3) DPM++ 2M SDE — ★ Stable & Balanced

• Nice mix of detail + smooth rendering.

• Best: 6–10 steps, CFG 1, LoRA 1.0.

4) DPM++ SDE

• Similar to 2M SDE but slightly softer.

• Best: 6–10 steps, CFG 1, LoRA 0.6–0.9.

5) DPM Adaptive — ★ Highest Quality (but slow)

• Produces extremely clean images even with 1–3 visual steps.

• ⚠ Slower because it performs many hidden micro-steps.

• Best: 1–4 steps, CFG 1, LoRA 0.5–0.8.

🟨 GOOD (with specific settings)

6) DPM++ 2M

• Works well only with CFG ≥ 1.5

• Best: 6 steps, CFG 1.8–3, LoRA 0.5–0.8.

7) DPM2

• Surprisingly good at low step counts.

• Best: 3–4 steps, CFG 1–1.8, LoRA 0.7–1.0.

🟥 NOT RECOMMENDED / INCOMPATIBLE

These samplers do not activate the LoRA’s improvements correctly:

✗ Heun ✗ DPM2 a (ancestral) ✗ DPM++ 2M ancestral ✗ DPM++ 2S ancestral ✗ Any ancestral sampler except Euler A

Typical issues:

• muddy/low color

• broken detail

• gray shadows

• unstable composition

• noisy lines

🎚 Recommended LoRA Strength

• 0.7–1.0 → maximum color, contrast, and detail

• 0.5–0.7 → extra stability on heavy base models

• 0.3–0.5 → subtle, soft enhancement

This LoRA does NOT require high CFG. Best CFG range: 1.0–2.5.

🔥 Recommended Step Count

• Best range: 4–8 steps

• Works even at 1 step (Adaptive)

• 8–12 if you want finer micro-details

📌 Super Short Summary

If you don’t know what to use:

⭐ DPM++ 2S a → maximum detail & contrast

⭐ Euler A → clean, stylized results

⭐ DPM Adaptive → highest quality in low steps (slower)
