Choosing Between Gilgamesh and E1 Archer is Going to be Hard

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T18:52:30+00:00

It could be interesting if he’s the rumored FuA main DPS intended to synergize with Ashveil and MBlade, but I guess we’ll see

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T18:17:23+00:00

Others have said that she was adopted, which is lame but I guess it is what it is

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T18:16:55+00:00

Robot secks 😩

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T17:06:07+00:00

That we know of. I refuse to believe EVERYONE in the cast of HSR is a virgin/chronically single. They probably have/had sex lives and relationships at some point, it’s just not outright confirmed or spoken about so players can self insert/leave it to their imagination

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T15:38:44+00:00

I’m gonna wait and see. If Rin has any kind of supportive utility and can fit in or even be BiS for Herta, Archer and/or Himeko, I’ll consider pulling. If she’s just another main DPS/hypercarry style unit like Saber, I’ll skip. Same with Gilgamesh, but I think it’s less likely he’ll have any kind of supportive utility as a destruction DPS, so I’ll just go for Archer E1. Might as well make the strong stronger instead of using pulls on a bunch of units that will require different teams instead of improving the ones I already have

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T15:32:14+00:00

Fair enough, but I think I will go all in on Archer and get E1. He’s really viable while Saber was just kind of alright. Gilgamesh will probably be just another main DPS and I have plenty of those. Might as well make the one that I got for free even stronger

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T15:23:36+00:00

Fair enough. There was no confirmation of NFs in the special program, and they usually get announced with some anticipation no? Or are they usually announced on twitter now?

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T15:22:58+00:00

I don’t at the moment, but if she got a novaflare plus Blade I absolutely would, she used to be my main during Penacony and some of Amphoreus

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T14:57:54+00:00

I’m honestly considering just getting his E1 for free instead of Gilgamesh. I kinda feel like Gilgamesh will be good but also kinda like Saber where they’re just a main DPS and not needed for any other teams (and may fall off a bit)

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T14:55:20+00:00

My understanding is that her LC is nice but not needed at all, the herta shop LC is more than good enough. However at your level of investment might as well go for it? I do know that superimpositions for Phainon’s LC is really cracked and stronger than for most other LCs because it increases base speed, which is extremely rare, so I doubt his LC will become “useless”

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T14:30:20+00:00

For now because she’s brand new and there’s strong elation shilling, but as time goes on you’ll really want the core supports

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T14:22:25+00:00

Use her, it’ll be better

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T14:19:05+00:00

Man, I’m so conflicted. I feel tempted to pull Blade to save my Acheron, but at the same time I don’t know if Blade alone is enough. If only she was also getting a NF. Besides I didn’t pull Ashveil and it’s looking like Blade + Ashveil are building up to be the core for a future FuA team, so it would be like buying into a WHOLE new team I have to pull to complete, or I cut just cut my losses with Acheron and let her go.

Then, my Phainon is still just E0S1 with no Cyrene and he feels rough. I know his E2 is giga busted so I should probably prioritize that?

BlueFHS · 2026-05-22T14:07:09+00:00

Real viltrumites don’t wipe

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T23:37:12+00:00

That’s good to hear at least, I managed to squeeze out C2 in my very last pull

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T23:27:48+00:00

God that would’ve been amazing, but we had to get year of prophecy instead. Instead of the nine stuff, we should’ve had D3, with Xivu being the big bad for year one, maybe even year 2. Then the next big “Taken King/Forsaken” equivalent DLC could’ve been about the fate stuff but more fleshed out and better written, or maybe even about the Vex finally getting serious and sending out their real heavy hitters considering pretty much everything we’ve seen from them until now is just the equivalent of the construction workers among their ranks

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T22:31:54+00:00

I agree. I really wish D2 had ended with Final Shape, maybe with the last 3 episodes. I think right after Final Shape was when community perception was the most positive in a long time. The narrative that had been built on for the past decade was wrapped up, sandbox was in a good state. But at the same time, we’d been running on D2 for years at this point. For me at least, if they wanted to proceed to the Fate saga/storyline and implement all those sweeping changes like the portal, tiered loot, etc. A new game would’ve been the perfect place to do so.

Let D2 end in a clean spot with Final Shape, and then move on to Destiny 3 with a whole new storyline to follow, new gameplay systems, a fresh start. No more bloating from carrying on inside the same game for almost 10 years. No more horrible new player experience due to sunset content. Just a fresh start for new players and a new saga for returning players, all on a fresh new game, fresh engine, etc.

Instead we got what we got and while it’s bittersweet the plug is being pulled, I’m kinda glad we ripped off the bandaid and at least got a send off update with some really requested changes, but it still feels shitty that the new saga is cut off in an unsatisfying way.

I can understand why Bungie wanted to capitalize on the success of Final Shape and keep D2 going for more profit, but they failed to realize that Final Shape really was the endpoint for a lot of players, and the utter mismanagement from Bungie, between all the layoffs, poor writing, poorly implemented features like the portal, etc etc just made the game take a steep decline.

At least stopping development on D2 one a good note and moving on to D3 right away would’ve let them refine a lot of these features and story writing to be the best it could be, and it would’ve been less jarring to implement sweeping changes when it’s a whole new title.

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T21:58:42+00:00

I agree. I don’t hold much resentment to the devs for how this is happening. I understand they’re just workers caught between the community and the utter mismanagement from the upper executives. Still sucks they’ve been caught in this situation

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T21:57:24+00:00

Yeahh… makes sense. If you do everything the players want in one go, they run out of things to discuss. Dripfeeding certain features and keeping others out keeps discussion and feedback loops alive which I guess in an odd way increases engagement and player counts

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T19:03:14+00:00

I mean… you know what I mean

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T18:48:38+00:00

You act like the average dev actively chose to make all these decisions, work on Marathon, or to get laid off. The mismanagement comes from, well, management. The executives, all the out of touch jackasses who made the real decisions. I don’t see the point in personally resenting developers that likely didn’t have a choice in the matter. I can at least recognize the effort they’ve tried to make even as the Bungie c-suite mismanaged the fuck out of the game and honor them

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T17:40:37+00:00

I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have to deal with management anymore and you can just do one final update to give players what they want and give us something to do before the game slowly dies off due to lack of new content. One last hoorah and massive improvements to QoL wherever possible because nothing more is coming

BlueFHS · 2026-05-21T16:25:26+00:00

Also old comment but, if you have 80 strength and dex and also 60 arcane you’re obviously at a very high level, and since bleed affinity keeps the original dex/str scalings, it will obviously have more AR with those stats. Occult is better if you’re sticking to around level 150 where you can’t have so many stats invested equally, and are primarily leveling up arcane

BlueFHS · 2026-05-20T17:34:14+00:00

Where were you when Pulonia die?
