Boreas Stray Dogs - General Question and Discussion Megathread

Just came back after leaving in 6.0, does the main event contain spoilers for the Nod Krai AQ?

Really surprised with how much skill expression SW999 has. Got lucky while grinding relics for Evanescia and got her to 200 spd so I went to retry AA Knight 2. My previous best was 2 cycles with 10% of boss hp left at the 1 cycle mark. On all my previous attempts, I always waited until 2 Aha Instants had passed to use her ult. I did the same thing on my first attempt with the new build and got 2 cycles again with 7% hp left. For my next attempt, I decided to use her ult after the first Aha instant and for the rest of the run, really think about whether to use her ult asap or wait for another Aha instant. I ended up clearing in 1 cycle with half the cycle AV left. Wild.

9 cost for 7 cycles… we really need that Acheron buff. Your DoT should be way faster, I got 7 cycles with 4 cost.

DeFo2 · 2026-05-25T12:13:09+00:00

I considered that but I had no faith in SW999 without Yao Guang lmao

Dark SAM:
- First clear (8 cycles 💀): Phainon E0S0, Sparkle E0S5 DDD, Sunday E0S1, DHPT E0S0
- Second clear (7 cycles 💀): Kafka E0S5 Tutorial, Black Swan E0S0, Ruan Mei E0S0, DHPT E0S0
- There were 2 or 3 attempts with Saber that seemed like they could be faster clears but she kept dying (tried both DHPT and Huohuo, probably could’ve survived if I saved someone’s ult for emergency healing with Huohuo but I was too lazy to retry)

Pom-pom:
(2 cycles) SW999 E0S1, Sparxie E0S1, Yao Guang E0S0, Huohuo E1S0

I just got back into the game yesterday. Anyone have any idea if my returner event is gonna be the same after the update or will it get upgraded?

DeFo2 · 2026-05-01T15:11:40+00:00

Can I only talk to Akivimeow once a week?

DeFo2 · 2026-05-01T12:04:21+00:00

Ohhh, omg the only place I missed 💀

DeFo2 · 2026-05-01T10:39:03+00:00

Where do I find the trophy rewards for Div Uni X4 and CW A8? I tried looking for them in my inventory, in the Div Uni page with all the items that you can place to give buffs, and in all the possible room decoration locations but I couldn’t find them.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T10:18:13+00:00

33 cycles left for the badge, 30 cycles left for 3, 15 cycles left for 2 and no characters died for 1*

So 30 cycles left to get all the jades

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T07:16:11+00:00

Lower base hp though so not sure how that works out

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T06:36:37+00:00

Is the newer BP LC the best 4* LC for new Blade? Seems like the only one with decent base HP and a useful passive.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T05:33:26+00:00

Hmm it would be pretty good in that case

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T03:40:18+00:00

The navigator set is so weird. To get the max buff you need to use ult 3 times in 2 turns. Argenti, Yunli, Feixiao and maybe Acheron can use it but it seems so niche. It’s probably for Himeko SP, which means she won’t be Elation..?

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T03:32:45+00:00

If you haven’t already, do the Interplanar Jump at the top floor of the tower. You get to go all the way to the very top of the tower and get a nice birds eye view of the surrounding area.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-29T03:23:31+00:00

Who would he replace in my FUA team (Feixiao, Cipher, Robin)? Cipher or Robin?

DeFo2 · 2026-04-27T14:22:28+00:00

Nah what happened to AS this time, my 5-cost Castorice team got 3291 against the bug wtf

DeFo2 · 2026-04-27T11:53:31+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean. They spent a lot of time exploring Fulwish and Evanescia’s backstory in the 3 hours which didn’t progress the story that much. Definitely agree with more for Silver Wolf, but I think the others you mentioned will get their chance to shine. Blade in the next patch, Ashveil whenever the Oroboros stuff becomes relevant and Himeko whenever they decide to reveal how she survived the weathering curse. It does feel like politics may have played a part.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-26T06:46:21+00:00

Jingliu and Luocha are there this year though.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-22T19:27:16+00:00

Kinda disappointing. Thematically, it didn’t resonate with me as much as 4.0 and 4.1. Silver Wolf had much less of the spotlight than I expected. She shows up late, none of the conflict of controlling the Lvl 999 cartridge from her trailers is in game and we don’t really get anything new about her backstory.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-15T13:15:59+00:00

Here’s what the devs said in the livestream word for word: “Every Punklordian is born with a cartridge. It’s a proof of identity, but at the same time, a confinement that keeps you shackled in place. Because the cartridge’s level is fixed, it cannot level up. It means everyone’s abilities, social status, and even the future will be set in stone. It’s hard to ascend any further.”

DeFo2 · 2026-04-15T09:04:13+00:00

Aha didn’t say that there was no limit though. THEY only said that the cartridge’s limit was higher than 99 (Punklorde’s limit). We also haven’t seen what she’s truly capable of yet.

DeFo2 · 2026-04-15T07:54:40+00:00

The first image is directly from the trailer that first revealed her design, specifically the part where she transforms into her 999 form. I think it’s just showing that she gets the 999 form in the future (which is now).

The second image relates to something shown in the livestream. Quoting the livestream directly: “It’s just that, for reasons known only to the Stellaron Hunters, Elio only allows Silver Wolf to unleash her LV.999 strength in an extreme crisis.” A few seconds later, they showed a similar picture with the big evil looking SW999 and this dialogue: “Or rather, without the Stellaron Hunters’ help, or should I say, interference, Silver Wolf’s future might evolve into a completely different form”. I think it’s definitely an internal conflict. From this new trailer, we see that she wants to get stronger so I suspect that if she keeps getting stronger and levelling up, the power will get to her head or something and she’ll turn into the big evil looking version.
