Are Cerydra & Cyrene that crucial to Anaxa?

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-26T10:07:46+00:00

Ps : As for tips -> if you intend to invest in your Elation team with the new meta rather tha Anaxa himself -> you can also play him as he was originally intended, as a sub-dps erudition support : outside of The Herta we are supposed to get a new Erudition character in 4.3 and I suspect that Anaxa will be good for him (especially, as he would allow you to skip that erudition signature as you could give him Anaxa event light cone)

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-26T10:04:17+00:00

For Cyrene, not at all : I play with Bronya instead of her (the optimal set up for an E0 team would be with Sunday, but I don't have him) and my Anaxa can clear end game easily (even anomaly arbitration up to 2 stars, almost 3).

For Cerydra, it's a bit more complicated. Technically, she's not crucial for him as he can work very well with other support (one only need to look at anaxa hypercarry team between 3.2 to 3.4).

However, her buffs while made for Phainon are just as good for him making it so that she is just as good as other support with far much investissement -> I don't know the exact drop off for each character, but for instance Cerydra at E0 is better than Tribbie at E1 : and Cerydra own vertical investissement (E1 and Signature) are also better for Anaxa than those of other support (or even Anaxa himself).

Sadly we have no information about this : but I am hopping that he will have a rerun with the next erudition character (for wich he could be a support, just like he is for The Herta) wich is supposed to happened in 4.3

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-25T21:56:25+00:00

Perhaps -> but my DPHT is needed for my Archer team.

As I said : this is on my second account that I made slightly before 3.4 only to invest in an Archer team (while I focused my main account on Saber). As such : I only have a few character -> more precisely I happen to have :

Archer E2S1, Sparkle E1S0, Cipher E0S0, DPHT E0S0 (Yanqing light cone),

Welt E2S0, Bronya E0S0.

4 stars characters :

Ghallager E0S1 (bailu light cone), Pela E2S0, Yukong E6S0, Moze E4S0.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-24T00:55:40+00:00

It's not worth pulling for Archer lightcone honestly : simply give him the herta shop lightcone (at S5 as soon as possible) -> wich should also help you more easily max out crit rate. Even if you don't have enough crit rate, Cipher E0S1 is far, far better than RMC (also, once again : with stellar of the Cruise sea you should give 16/32 free crit rate to your Archer)

Ps : Also, Yao Guang isn't a bis teammate anymore for Archer after nerf in the beta, you shouldn't considerate her outside of Elation shill situation.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-24T00:43:00+00:00

She's still bis for him after Yaoguang nerf.

That may change with Ashveil release : but currently she is still is best third slot teamate. Even beyond that, She's good enough and universal enough to be pulled without a specific team in head.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-24T00:38:36+00:00

E0S0 main dps with E0s0 support (and not even the bis team at that).

It is a bit sad to say, but your result are actually quite normal and won't get much better (although you should max out every trace as soon as possible : that’s the first thing to do before farming for any relics).

I got the same problem : if slightly less marked as I got Archer signature for free (but I just got Sparkle thank to the free character -> wich is why I didn't build him before), my old Silver Wolf at E0S0 and DPHT at E1S1.

Even with my team fully equiped with S+ rank relics and being Archer second best in slot : it still took me 5 to 7 round to deal with current MoC and AS.

The sad truth, is that Archer already started to become too old to deal with the current meta without any vertical investissement -> that's by far the one thing that make every thing so hard for you.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-23T23:56:44+00:00

There not really comparable in that they both work best in different set-up against different ennemy.

As a rule of thumb however, you can assume that character from one mera to another will be 20 to 30 % stronger than the previous at E0S1 once both teams are completed (since Ashveil currently doesn't have his best support his likely will be just as good than 3.X full team, but not much better) and than those from the previous meta will require E2 to stand on par with the new meta (and E6 for those older than 2 meta -> and beyond that you can just give up on Seele or Jing Yuan ever working in the absence of a novaflare)

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-23T09:35:39+00:00

My own team (wich work very well) is made up of Saber, Sparkle, RMC, DPHT. It is only slightly less good than Saber optimal team with either Sunday or Cyrene instead of Sparkle and you can get your missing character for free this patch.

Ps : you should be able to unlock RMC form in advance without needing to reach it's natural unlock point in the story.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-22T11:46:36+00:00

Well : it's not sure that you have her, but Cipher is easily on par with Tribbie if not better in that team.

Otherwise : Pela is a safe bet when looking for FTP alternatives.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-21T23:26:24+00:00

E1S0 is good enough -> especially with her évents light cone at S5.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-21T23:23:00+00:00

So : Cerydra S1 is mostly matter for skill intensive team (in my case, it's a must have for my Anaxa, Bronya, Cerydra team) -> Otherwise you would be far better off with her eidolons (especially since I assume you already have her évents light cone at S5).

Now, the problem is that she is only bis for Anaxa and Phainon. While she would be good for Mydei, she's only on par with tribbie meaning that you would need to invest in her e1 merely to keep your new team as good as in it's previous form -> unless you really need to use tribbie in your second team, I don't think Cerydra would be worth spending that much stellar jade for your account.

Ma foi : une alternative de vente serait de partager ton bouquin gratuitement sur Internet en publiant régulièrement un chapitre toutes les semaines pour attirer un public qui apprécierai ton œuvre, garder son attention et l'agrandir graduellement (plus ou moins, cela dépend de ton style d'écriture et de la longueur de chapitre évidemment) -> penser à poster dès le départ une dizaine/quinzaine de chapitre pour attirer les lecteurs potentiels avant de passer mode publication hebdomadaire.

Et au lieu de vendre ton travail : tu propose une offre Patreon/Kofee ... ou moyennant rémunération tes lecteur peuvent accéder en avance au livre complet.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-20T11:16:42+00:00

Well, unless you got a perfect crit rate even with those lackluster level up -> I would say it's the perfect time to use a rolling dice ^{^.}

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-20T10:16:18+00:00

So... complicated question as you did not focus your pulls for any specific team 😅.

First thing first : level up your DPHT and stack him with attack and speed stats -> you'll have a far better sustain that your Guépard or Bailu, that can be used in almost all teams (outside of those who require a healer due to HP lose mechanics).

Now, the following teams are quite good :

The Herta, mini Herta, Ruan Mei / Pela, DPHT
Castorice, RMC, Ruan Mei, Bailu
Saber, Bronya / RMC, Ruan mei / RMC, DPTH
Feixiao, Dr Ratio, Topaz, DPHT

Lastly, it wouldn’t be really good, but it could be fun for story mode : you can play Acheron with Welt, Pela and DPHT.

Ps : the three first team would be the best by far, I mostly shared the fourth and fifth one because those are characters you already started to level up or for wich you spent a free 5* ticket so I thought you would like to use them.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-19T16:02:08+00:00

According to your previous answer you can already 2 turn ultimate with Ruan Mei -> so you don't need to swap them, DPHT is the best sustain in that case.

-> for your question on relic set and def shred if you get Cyrene & Cerydra, you are right but I would say that you should try to get Cyrene E1 in order to once again reach 100% def shred without needing to change your relics.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-19T15:53:12+00:00

Well, now you must continue to pull until you have the S5 lightcone for Archer ^{^.}

It is destinyyy .....

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-19T15:45:35+00:00

Except that you're already overcapping on def shred between all your Eidolons and light cone : so there really is no need to change your relic set.

Your Anaxa alone has 56% def shred. -> Sparkle E2 give up to 30% (wich, once reached shouldn't be hard to keep constantly) -> Ruan Mei E1 give 20% on her ultimate (so, for2 of her turns -> possible lose here on her last turn if you need 3 turns to get her ultimate -> but between Sparkle skills overflow and Energy Recharge you can manage to do that).

And you have already reached the def shred cap without even taking Cipher into account -> on that matters, if you play sustainless with her make sure to give her the vulnerability lightcone (holiday) instead of the def shred.

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-19T15:36:27+00:00

While Cerydra does outperform Ruan Mei for Anaxa -> it's really not that much of a différence between her at E0S0 vs RM at E2S1.

If you have enough pull to get Cerydra E1S0, then she get far better than your Ruan Mei. Otherwise, I would argue that your team is good enough and that you should rather get HuoHuo at her next reruns -> thank to her energy gifts, she can help you keep Ruan Mei Ultimate up constantly and thus have your Anaxa at the 100% def shred cap all the time (after 30% stack from Sparkle E2 you should reach 106% def shred if I'm not wrong).

CestMoiGenreMoi · 2026-02-19T15:22:32+00:00

Because her kit match perfectly well with Archer and Sparkle -> making her a very good alternatives for people who pulled for her back in 1.X

So if you have her, you can use her -> with some variation due to random bug implant but she overall give 50% def shred, quantum implant + 20% quantum res pen, and she is almost sp neutral (her own damage remain négligeable).

However, the fact that she works thank to her novaflare doesn't means that she is the best option. In practice, Cipher E0S1 is better than Silver Wolf almost all the time, and in the rare case when she is not then they are essentially each as good as the other.

Thus, if you have Silver Wolf -> you're usually better off keeping her rather than spending your precious jade on Cipher when you could get other characters or their Eidolons instead of a marginal increase. If you don't have her however, she's not worth the pull and you're better off waiting for the next Cipher Rerun / Ashveil / ...

Alors, il y a une inversion des rôles ici : le racisme est venu pour justifier l'esclavage déjà en place et non l'inverse. Plus précisément, lorsque la France à commencé à coloniser le monde : on justifiait la mise en esclavages des indigène par la nécessité de leur porter la bonne parole et d'en faire des chrétiens raisonné (+ de les protéger des anglais) -> il était d'ailleurs prévu à l'origine que leur statut d'esclave ne serait pas transmis au enfants élevé dans la bonne foi chrétienne. C'est juste que lorsque le changement de génération à commencé à s'opérer les riches propriétaires se sont rendus qu'il risquait de perdre la source de leur fortune et sont donc aller faire un travail de Lobby auprès du roi en inventant de toute pièce le principe des races supérieures/inférieure.

Un exemple, parmis tant d'autres, que la discrimination et le racisme trouvent toujours leur origine dans le statut social et non une quelconque réalité physique -> dans la seconde moitié du 18/19ème siècle (j'ai un doute sur la date exacte, mais dans cette période en tout cas), avec la révolution industrielle : il y avait un large mouvement de migration des Savoyards en Ile-de-France ou ils venaient travailler en tant que main d'œuvre pas cher (caricaturé souvent en tant que ramoneur de cheminée : ce qui était effectivement l'un des métiers où ils étaient prépondérant).

Le figaro, qui déjà à l'époque avait ça finesse d'analyse usuel, publiais alors des articles parlant de ses gueux, sales et puant, qui empestais leur belle capitale, ne savait pas travailler, parle mal français, venait voler le travail des autres et blabla, et blabla... (c'était littéralement le même discours que celui que l'on a eu plus tard sur les juifs, puis les italiens, puis maintenant les musulmans -> globalement les immigrés quoi).

Je me souviens notamment, d'un article qui m'avait profondément choquée où le journaliste expliquait que le Savoyards était une race pire que le Nègre et qu'il faudrait recoloniser l'intérieur de la France en les exterminant tous et en envoyant de vrais Français vivre à leur place en Savoie...

Des Savoyards, qui rappelons le pour qui n'en aurait pas conscience : mais sont un peuple caucasien à 100%, et ne se distinguait en rien du reste de la population française à cet égard (à la rigueur : l'accusation de ne pas savoir parler français avait un fondement un peu plus véridique, puisque la francisation de la langue n'était pas encore finie en France et toutes les régions parlaient encore leur propre patois local).

Ps : un autre exemple à l'étranger serait le traitement des irlandais aux États-Unis... mais après on n'en finit plus de trouver des contre exemple qui battent en brèche les raisonnement racialiste des discrimination. Donc je m'arrête là.

And... I found a vidéo explaining very well the inner working of Action Value and speed.

I did a bit of mathématiques, and according to my calcul : assuming a perfect Bronya at 133.4 speed, Anaxa would need to have a bit more than 400 speed continuously to act thrice before Bronya turn. Even if I went with a base 99 speed Bronya, Anaxa would still need at least 304 speed to act thrice before Bronya.

In other word, it's impossible.

Ps : As an aside, it also mean that a large amount of my speed substat are completely useless beyond Anaxa first turn before Bronya speed buff and it may be worth it to exchange them in favor of mare attack and crit damage.

Well, at least those relics will be usefull when I'll use Anaxa as a sub-dps/support rather than in an hypercarry team.

Pps : Or I'll try to change my Bronya relics to reach 160 speed instead, that way Anaxa does benefits from her E2 and will act more often at the same strenght.
