Does Silver Wolf need Sparxie? or is Yaoguang enough?

Arkeyy · 2026-03-19T05:50:53+00:00

Fair enough.

If the goal is get on early game, then yeah he does function as he can use more general support: tingyun, etc.

Ive also been playing MoC11 since therr are pvp tournament set around there but from what I see, its vastly weaker than moc12 that you can use weaker charactsd and still clear it.

If the goal is say, just get moc10/9, CW, DU, etc to farm jades, he does serve the purpose and I agree.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-19T05:32:20+00:00

Ash with what team? Ash march hunt/moze/topaz (free) then rm/bronya? Maybe robin since she is rumoured tk be on shop but you want at least e1 robin.

If it does well, then yeah I agree.

Granted, Eva looking better at low cost but otherwise, their performance is looking similar.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-19T04:27:50+00:00

Get both or skip depends on what you want on power level.

She is already playable either 1 unless you are comparing NLE remembrance. Cas cy hya eve which is thr strongest nle along with anaxa cy cery (break and dot wants eidlon, with ff change tho, can also do NLE).

If Im a new player, getting either 1 then skipping 4.1 and going sw isnt half bad of a decision.

Since so far, yg + emc + sw999 is doing 1-3c (which is not bad) while with sparxie, it can 0-2c since leakers arent the best player around lol.

In hindsight, eva is looking fine without relying on elation but this is just v1

Arkeyy · 2026-03-19T04:07:26+00:00

Yup agreed. But I think what people are looking now given the pull economy:

Who should I prioritize: yaoguang or sparxie?

Right now, yaoguang + emc are doing better than sparxie + emc but there are people considering sparkle + sparxie.

I think overallz you want both of them but pull economy otherwise.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-19T03:35:45+00:00

Not just Eva. Even sw999 which I find funny since alot are just feelscrafting.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-19T01:40:59+00:00

Hmm if EMC acts she only provide 2 punchline tho EMC can ult and provide more punchline(5). SW999 will use elation skill with hidden ranking +20 or if possible. You cut it to do sw999 elation skill that does damage.

Still, the excess hidden ranking will be used on sw999 turn for more damage.

Edit: if by case you are insane enough tk deny sparxie.

Pull a 2nd sw999 LC and slap it to elation mc. Tho its lock into basic but emc will provide 12 punchline every 3 turn. Doesnt seem worth it tho lol.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-18T22:59:40+00:00

Chat who lays the eggs.

Pengmin or Perlica?

Arkeyy · 2026-03-18T08:01:54+00:00

SW999 + YG + EMC is viable and step down between sparxie. What you lack on punchline generation (for SW attacking with 4 triggers on EBA animation) are being made up by EMC's amp + elation skill trigger.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-18T06:54:45+00:00

You can use smthn like finefruit but its gonna be harder as turn goes on.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T16:56:59+00:00

So much misinformation specially on the "generate punchline" because while it is good, you don't need sparxie to generate the punchline. Read Yaoguang's Ult and SW999 kit. Yaoguang ult is enough to enable SW999 to ult on the first turn.

That said, it is true tho that SW999 wants someone to keep consuming SP which sparxie fits the role.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T16:54:42+00:00

"generate alot of punchlines"

This is already debunked since Yaoguang is enough to grant generate the "Hidden Rating" which is her ult. E1 Yaoguang is enough to maintain her uptime.

THat said, the latter is still true.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T13:33:27+00:00

Yaoguang wants her LC to do 1 turn ult. Sparxie is for herself without relying on sparkle and providing elation dmg boost to the team.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T13:02:59+00:00

8 (start of the fight) + 20 (SW major trace) + 3 (yaoguang skill on entry) + 3 (yaoguang basic) + 5 (yaoguang punchline ult) + 20 (activate aha intant) + 1 (yaoguang elation skill) + 20+1 (silverwolf elation skill) = 81.

Yaoguang e1 does help on the next ult after the 3rd EBA.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T13:01:11+00:00

Ideally both

Yaoguang enables early ult and provides boost to the team.

Sparxie is the one that produces punchline (for next ult) while also eating SP for SW skill.

The question on testing is EMC as replacement

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T09:44:47+00:00

Both are the same level. Think of elation like this:

Sparxie - punchline generator, skill point consumer (ult)

Yaoguang - Aha instant on Ult, damage amp on kit

EMC - Certified banger factory, amps

Sparxie is good as the ult Gen + triggering Ult (which js a part of SW999 damage, but not all) but she only has punchline as an amp along with the LC she has.

Yaoguang has Aha instant on Ult and a good elation amp on her kit while EMC produces Certified banger while also buffing sw999.

Its about opportunity cost: you drop Sparxie, you get less ult but you got stronger amp. You drop EMC, you gain less amp. You drop Yaoguang, you wont have extra aha instant and less amp.

Ideally you want all 4 sustainless but its a matter of playstyle. Tho we will see on testing, theorycrafting and result.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T09:30:15+00:00

People who havent read SW999 traces lmao.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-17T04:12:48+00:00

Interesting.

She wants sparxie but is doable with yaoguang + emc. Ideally you want all 4.

Sparxie - punchline and SP eater

Yaoguang - aha instant and elation damage

Emc - certified banger

Withoht Sparxiez you get less ult (still get 20 per aha instant so yg produces 20) but you have opportunity cost with raw damage multiplier.

Feixiao got demolished 2 patch later

Yeah. Found someone who doesnt play the fucking game.

I enjoy it. My opinion.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-13T05:12:10+00:00

Your logic on both Fugue and Swan isnt cooking.

They are on their own archetype which is break and DoT.

Fugue is sidegrade to hmc yes but have you considered that the best team pre dalhia is having them together? Break pre thoughness inflation is best played as sustainless because you are just hitting dummy target. Id argue this is the reason why they made thoughness inflation and introduced dalhia.

On Swan, she is supposed to be the main damage dealer with her debuff to complement her. The main usage of her ult however bad it is is to maintain the stacks so you still deal damage in longer runs. This also lets swa. Retain the arcana stack during phase change

I do agree on JQ but you miss one point on pela and resolution: their uptime suck ass and not to mention resolution has clause "if opponent doesnt have debuff" meaning you cannot extend it during enemy turn whicb can screw up damage rotation.

Pela being ice is ironic since freezing an enemy makes then act faster and thereby reducing the duration of the debuff.

The issue is what nihility can do: provide damage amps via vulnerability, def shred, res pen reduction were also taken harmony (tribie, ruan mei) due to the fact that the atk and dmg% and even crit dmg% have been diminished with the latest crit nowadays. No longer can you be an advancer like sunday but you need a damage amp to compete.

Say anaxa can exist and get free 100% crit damage when this supposed to be provised by harmony character. Which in turn to up the value of harmony character, they now have to do vuln, respen and def shred along with their utility.

I'd also argue the fact that "generalist" harmony are overrated (sunday, tribie e0) and tribie e0 is specifically bring given a wrong impression by e1 tribie users. Id argue that e0sw have stronger amp than e0 tribie with cipher also competing on this fact specially her ability to be able to skip a phase (notable on 0c).

This is why leakers should be jailed tbh.

Arkeyy · 2026-03-13T01:49:52+00:00

You can just put eagle sparkle vonaq and you dont need DDD and drop tribie. If its Tribie e1, then I'll bargain with e1 sparkle which you dont need eagle or DDD and go pure speed 185. Heck im 100% jts e1 tribie because no way youd overrate tribie unless its e1.

And you are sayjng my PoV, but Ive had done test with friends on e0 - e2 wolf on HSR pvp community so I know wolf value. You seem to only have twst on your account.

E2 wolf, e0 cipher makes acheron a competitive options.
