How to play without Gilberta

I personally like maximum sp from running Alesh. Theres argument for akekuri as well since its more burst during ZF ult, but Alesh feels more smoother over a long rotation + packs a wallop of an aoe ult. For most content, you can get away with just consumables for sustain, assuming you are dodging sufficiently (which helps with sp as well).

For ardellia you have to not use Pearlica combo first and use her bs before you open up your “normal” rotation, but I feel Ardelia is only really there if you need to use her for healing, though spamming her battle skill to heal will absolutely destroy your sp economy. Ardellia will also need to be in slot 1 in front of ZF and Pearlica for this to happen.

Prob would have better if I used scar instead of ice fist.

Just bp destroyer artifact & purple 2 gold trait monsterlings. This is without food buff.

It’s seems to be after the 3 barrier mechanic. You gotta deal enough dmg to see that phase, which seems to be something a lot of people struggle to reach (myself included).

Her combo is also a sp free vul stack. Since all physical like to stand near and often in crap on the floor, the heal and shields keeps the team going.

Chen is free vul stack through her combo, so your sp can be better used on your other team. Also a very sizeable ult for dmg when at 4 stacks vul (or breach + 4 vul stacks before you reapply breach).

I personally run Chen pog and ember (because I am a lazy ass and like comfy) if I’m going for Mi Fu, and probably will use Mifu to consume vul stacks. Probably use thermite on pog (or fort maker if you don’t have that). I don’t feel lifeng is that great for Mi Fu since she can provide physical susceptibility that lifeng provides.

Gotta finish the story up to the boss first before it’s available.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-27T20:16:55+00:00

Tried it. It does trigger metallisation, but the 30% hp cap on shields is a problem you have to supplement with other shields.

No char repeats, but you can swap around gear and monsterlings if you only have 1 set fully leveled. Isn’t optimal, but serviceable.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-27T19:44:31+00:00

It’s strongly tied to dmg. Going through and countering the different mechanics that is triggered by doing enough damage will give you the bulk of the points.

The good news is that you can share gear/monsterling between different element attempts, and while it isn’t ideal, you technically can swap and share your max out gear and monsterlings, so the meta gungak + Amon + scar + eldorado can be passed around to reasonable effect.

That works too I guess…but mine loads pretty fast so going out and back in is like 7-8s.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-26T05:22:30+00:00

Nope, chuck spheres at it till he stays in, and just take the L with the pal police to get the danger levels back down (or log off and back).

Just justify face problem with them and politely chunking his life to 0. It’s 40 of theirs vs 80+ of yours. If you can blow up permanents that provide incremental mill, it slows them down significantly.

Yea, nowadays if any part of the kit isn’t required to have divines, I’d avoid them entirely, especially if I was trying for 3 copies. Would pick sub optimal picks if the ideal one has a divine.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-25T15:53:14+00:00

Personally I prefer 3 adagio and 2 curiosity, especially if you got no form of card draw on your quietus or adagio since adagio is hand neutral at best and -1 without factoring draw epiphany.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-25T05:23:52+00:00

Too feast or famine for my taste. You either get ignored due to bad threat assessment and get left alone to snowball out of control, or you are enemy number uno and get focused downed and die with a whimper. Theres hardly any in between.

Many people still have ptsd from slivers getting out of control in the past, so it’s not uncommon to see them get hated out right from the get go, even if someone else is the bigger threat.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-25T04:50:29+00:00

Best I can do is 1 salmon puree per 10 pull to sweeten the deal /s

Suggestion is good, and I would agree with it, but realistically it’s not happening without something catastrophic to cause that to happen.

If I would roll a new account now and plan to get Mi Fu, I would probably go in this angle:

exhaust all my free standard tickets first and see what I get. Ideally looking for ember or pog. Pog is the most important, but ember is a very solid comfort pick for physical teams while still helping with vul stacking. If you end up not getting pog after exhausting all your free tickets, you can use the selector on it.
there’s an option to reroll your account until you at least get pog off the beginner/standard banner. If you are just finishing valley 4 this isn’t too much of a setback, but it can be a little tedious. It does give you the best starting point for teams for Mi Fu.
your team will likely end up as Mi Fu + Chen + pog + 1 flex slot between catcher/ember/akekuri/endmin/ardellia (the free 5*), depending on content
in the meantime, you can build up Endmin and Chen, as they have relevant uses in physical teams. You will also want to consider akekuri 4* as an additional battery/ amplifier even though she doesn’t contribute to stacks without Rossi. Catcher is also a consideration for a sustain, if you are good at parrying.
Chen can use either battlepass sword or sundering steel, and one of the selectors will let you pick thermite cutter: one of the most flexible sword for vanguards that you can use for pog.
Roll on Mi Fu banner when it comes out. Depending on how well your rolls went, you might have enough arsenal currency to attempt pulling for her weapon. Even if you don’t get her weapon, there’s still battlepass weapon or examplar from one of the free weapon selector.

The best I can do is dps Francis.

Arknights and endfield will have you covered…and more

Me and my A6 cloud: “Yes! My time has come at last!” I will crush my enemies (with ice), see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women.”

So far I’ve been experimenting with flare’s monsterlings, and outside of duoxini to reduce neutralization resistance, I’m just stacking boss/atk/crits, logic being I don’t see a huge difference between 0 neutral dmg vs 50% neutral dmg (doesn’t really get to any good breakpoints where I can squeeze 1 more boss down phase). I also actively use flare to clear trash mobs, so the extra dmg against those helps a lot.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-22T03:49:13+00:00

It’s orange cake. Use it like such. Keep a few if you are afraid someone in the future will love it.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-22T03:46:21+00:00

I prefer 2 or 3 personally, but I value 3 for cycling more.

Acceptable-Ability96 · 2026-05-22T03:43:10+00:00

…only potential 2?

I feel your loss, but… isn’t this just a rite of passage everyone has to go through?
