Recommended Settings Steps: 20-35 (I have always liked 35, but lower is just as good)

CFG: 2.5-6

I use 3, it is my sweet spot, but with a robust enough prompt you can go as low as 1, especially if you want a dim and grungy look.

Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE (or DPM++ 2M on CIVITAI Gen)

Scheduler: Karras

Resolution: I recommend 1024x1024 - 1280x1280 for normal generation. Supports up to 1536x1536 without breaking, but can suffer some body extension. Any aspect ratio that equals the same number of pixels should work.

Prompting: This model listens to your prompts, like really listens, so avoid the fluff and keep your prompts focused.

Recommended Positive: masterpiece, best quality, absurdres

Recommended Negative: worst quality, low quality

You can often omit pos or neg quality tags depending on what you're trying to make, grungy images for instance will want to pull out some of those quality tags. Some of the other quality tags do work if you want those types of images
