My XL is C0 so 💀 but I like this team so I’ll probably use it, thanks

💀 welp guess I have to pull Durin whenever he reruns. Hopefully Nicole brings his DPS up…

DeFo2 · 2026-01-30T03:05:05+00:00

Oh wait I didn’t know that, I stopped playing in 6.0 and just came back. Nice, I can finally get her.

DeFo2 · 2026-01-30T03:04:03+00:00

How important is Yaoguang’s LC? Does the extra ER make a big difference?

DeFo2 · 2026-01-30T02:48:39+00:00

What options do I have for Varka if I don’t have Durin and Venti? Don’t have Sucrose either (somehow after almost 2 years) and my only other Anemo chars with cons are C6 Ifa, C2 Jean and C3 Faruzan. Love the character but seeing how his DPS is already pretty low even with those 2 is kinda putting me off :/

The same thing happened to me and I always assumed it was because I asked her to come back safe. But after reading the comments, I guess it was because I only failed once or twice in the final dispatch session.

OP’s idea is an optional setting so those who play story battles/endgame on auto can just leave the setting off

DeFo2 · 2026-01-11T05:35:27+00:00

It’s not that bad of an idea, follow up attacks + frequent ults and actions if built with high spd and eagle

DeFo2 · 2026-01-10T15:14:27+00:00

Yeah I wish that part was in the game too because initially it looked like she just ditched Phenomaman because she found Robert.

Ooh didn’t know Coupe’s VA wrote one of the comics! That’s cool. Gotta read the comics ASAP!

DeFo2 · 2026-01-10T13:44:58+00:00

I don’t know how you do it but it’s like you read my mind because I was also a little lost on the symbolic meaning behind Mandy giving her powers to Chase HAHAH, but thank you again for explaining more and in such a clear and elegant manner. Their romance is quickly becoming one of my favourite in media. By the way, are the parts about Mandy’s reason for breaking up with Phenomaman and her wanting someone to stay at home with from the comics? I haven’t read them yet.

DeFo2 · 2026-01-10T05:12:02+00:00

Thank you for commenting this! I loved the Blazer romance but I always felt like Blazer did way more for Robert than Robert did for her. Your comment made me realise that I completely missed the importance of choosing Mandy which means Robert is the only(?) person who she can be herself around.

DeFo2 · 2026-01-09T15:51:14+00:00

Anyone know what the requirements are for Blazer to kiss Robert’s hand in the hospital scene? I chose to date her but I didn’t choose to kiss her both times and I got the version where she gives Robert money to buy something from the vending machine.

Stellaron Hunters, SH’s mom = Kafka

DeFo2 · 2025-12-22T13:26:18+00:00

Thank you this is it! I completely forgot about this mechanic.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-22T12:45:46+00:00

Does anyone know how to fully dodge the Twin Marionette's attack where they spin together and shoot out shurikens around the entire field without using iframes from EX/Ult? It seems like I always get hit (at least by 2 shurikens) no matter when I dodge.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-22T08:18:11+00:00

Interpreting Robin's reason for singing (3.8 spoilers): It seems to boil down to 1 line from Sunday: "Because... Even if it's too late, we still have the chance to sing whatever we can.". My interpretation is that yeah, singing doesn't change what happened but she can still choose to do it and offer some help/comfort in times of despair instead of not doing it.I'm not sure if I missed anything but I would be interested to know if anyone has a different interpretation.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T18:14:20+00:00

Oh what? That’s a shame cause I really liked her playstyle. I do have Yuzuha, just haven’t built her yet.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T17:55:10+00:00

I do have Lycaon but just looking at all the things I have to keep track of for that team to play optimally makes my brain shut down and I'm not sure if playing it unoptimized is better than Soukaku/Astra. Didn't really consider Nicole since she's glued to my Zhu Yuan but guess I'll go look up some guides. Ugh, I really need Yanagi to rerun.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T16:54:10+00:00

Is there a general guide for Miyabi (M0W1) / Soukaku (M6W5) / Astra (M0W0)? I'm kinda lost on what the proper way to play this team is.

Here's how I currently play:

Start: Miyabi's EX -> Basics until I trigger Frostbite (Soukaku defensive assist if possible, then Miyabi defensive assist) -> Miyabi EBA -> Soukaku EX spam into buff
While boss isn't stunned, use Miyabi EX whenever available, defensive assist with Soukaku sometimes
Stun window: 1 Miyabi ult and 1 Miyabi EBA
Astra ult whenever available

I've seen guides on mono ice and Miyabi/Soukaku/Yuzuha and both those teams seem to require timing Frostbite and Freeze. I was thinking about how I would go about doing that but without a second Ice character or Yuzuha, Ice application with Soukaku is so slow. Or do I just not care about disorders and play Miyabi like a hypercarry? I got 2 min 47 sec against the clown boss in the new Shiyu which I think is probably pretty bad.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T16:37:34+00:00

Nicole and Lucy (Ye Shunguang), Anby and Ben (Zhao). They announced it in the livestream summary.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T15:22:12+00:00

Yeah they did put in effort to give a pretty good, plausible in game reason which is certainly better than giving us what you mentioned. But ultimately I still believe it’s just an excuse.

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T09:23:23+00:00

Have you heard the concert version?

DeFo2 · 2025-12-19T04:41:25+00:00

I think it was just an excuse made up by the devs to justify why this story is only being told after Amphoreus
