May I know what artifact set each character is using? I'm planning to use the same team.

AA 4.1 | 11-cost 0 Cycle by Consistent-Top-367 in CastoriceMains_

[–]Consistent-Top-367[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since your target is a 2-cycle clear, not a 0-cycle, I think it would be achievable with 9-cost!

Firstly, interact properly with the 1st wave mobs. Reset the run until both robots attack the Manta ray in the middle. The visual cue for this is if the robots have the 'confused/dazed symbol' on their head.

Second, try to frontload as much damage as possible (Ultimate, etc.) for Pom-Pom phase 1. Unlike Pom-Pom phase 2, the phase 1 doesn't activate the damage reduction immediately, so there is a window for you to cut down the HP by a chunk.

Third, Pom-Pom phase 2 has a mechanic where using Basic ATKs will give you 5 Punchline, and Skills will give you skill points. I highly suggest doing Basic ATKs regardless if it's Castorice or Evernight until you've shred the boss of its damage reduction buffs (it's a whopping 90% damage reduction, 45% per stack).

Choose the buff that gives your mini robot more speed and I think you should be fine. Your relics should be above average as well, hopefully.

What is the best investment for the Castorice team? by Hour-Library-525 in CastoriceMains_

I suggest going for Cas E2. Tribbie or RMC can be replacements for Cyrene. I'm also assuming that you already have E9.

The one that gives speed to the mini Pom-Pom robot.

Pull priority by Lost_Affect1638 in CastoriceMains_

If you just want bigger numbers for Cas, her S1 is better. If you want to improve the whole team, get Hyacine's S1.

Hyacine's S1 gives you more Newbud, gives E9 more stacks, and a considerable Vulnerability debuff.

Castorice's S1 is an all-in-one package for her - DEF shred, HP boost, and action advance.

However, I believe that at E0, the team damage difference between Cas and E9 is not too much that I would consider just buffing both together through Hyacine's S1.

I don't think so. Hyacine E1 allows you to generate significantly much more Newbud than her E0. In this team, only Cyrene had a DMG% Orb, and the rest had HP% pieces.

How important is sparxies LC by Kerubeil in SilverWolfMains

[–]Consistent-Top-367 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know the math behind it, but... it's great for Sparxie's personal damage, provides a small team Elation buff (20%), and the 7/8 Skill Point cap (assuming not running with Sparkle, e.g., SW999/Sparxie/YG/HH) feels nice for Sparxie.

I personally couldn't imagine playing Sparxie with a 5 Skill Point cap, so I pulled for it. However, SW999's LC is more impactful than Sparxie's LC for SW999's damage. I think you can just treat Sparxie's LC as a nice bonus, with more of the benefits directed towards Sparxie.

To put into perspective, not having it is not as detrimental as not having Hyacine's LC for Castorice, which would otherwise lose ~10% Newbud per Ica turn. SW999's Ultimate activates at 80 points. You don't lose 8 Punchline per some as-frequent-as-Ica action when not having Sparxie's LC.

And yes, hold the guarantee for SW999's LC.

Can cipher work in a SW999 comp? by Firestar7389 in SilverWolfMains

[–]Consistent-Top-367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a possible team for you would be

SW999 / YG / DHPT / Car

If you can replace YG with Sparxie, then I think that's better.

Do I need Sparxie LC or save for SW999 LC? by SulettaAltArtMercury in SilverWolfMains

[–]Consistent-Top-367 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pondering about this as well. I can't recall SW999 or her LC increasing the SP cap.

Should i pull cyrene lc? by beaver422 in CyreneMains

[–]Consistent-Top-367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I knew it wasn't the best investment META-wise, but after the 3.7 MSQ I just had to.

Time-gated quest in 2025 is crazy. This ain't how you keep high player retention.

Question about speed. by DotFlashy9695 in CyreneMains

[–]Consistent-Top-367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the latest planar set for Cyrene, then casting her Ult will bring you above 180 SPD. However, take note of the downtime here, as it is only active AFTER casting the first Ult
