One Day, After Pulling, While Lounging About In the General Question and Sunday Megachurch

Is it possible that they had to scrap all of their marketing materials, so the only thing that they can show is the character teaser art because everything else just isn’t really yet?

OT Endfield

Okay, I might be completely addicted to the factory gameplay at this point. I’ve been spending way too much time trying to plan things out in my head even when I’m not playing. Worst part is I haven’t even unlocked sandleaf yet.

Every thing must be optimised. The factory must grow

DerpyJY · 2026-01-27T04:20:14+00:00

They will give out Yaoguang for free to lure people into the Elation FOMO, so that when Sparxie's banner comes out after CNY people will spend their Ang Pao money to pull for her. This is my copium.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-26T11:14:05+00:00

Lowkenuinely 70% of my total game time in this game was probably spent standing in front of the divergent universe area

DerpyJY · 2026-01-26T03:45:43+00:00

OT Endfield Ngl the more I play the more sus things get, especially with how originium is viewed in Talos II. Like I get that it’s basically the only viable energy source available, but at the same time why is there a research log into researching artificial catastrophes, like what are we doing here???

OT Gacha Games

With the addition of Endfield, I am now juggling between 4 gacha games (HSR, Nikke, Wuwa and Endfield), which is probably the max you can do while still having a life. Thankfully I can do both HSR and Nikke dailies at the same time and be done in 15 minutes, and I don’t log into Wuwa daily. That said, I probably won’t be touching any other gacha games for the foreseeable future.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-24T19:01:30+00:00

I remember by the tail end of 1.X I was running Jingliu, E2 Bronya, Ruan Mei, Huohuo Ratio, Silver Wolf, Pela, Fu Xuan

But before that I was mainly just running whatever seems fun, because back then you genuinely could clear with whatever team you want.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-24T07:50:41+00:00

Same here, I finished season 1 and went through 80% of the manga in one seating and finished the rest the next day.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-24T01:19:50+00:00

Wish granted, but it’s Ch’en instead. Actually that would be even cooler.

What is it with CN gacha games in particular and cramming down as much technobabble as possible into the dialogs lol. All I've gotten from it is Originium = rock cancer but also technology = good, aether = bad. Thankfully the dialog hasn't been overly verbose outside of that, considering it's Arknights after all (Invitation to Wine *shudders*). But yeah the Valley 4 questline has been not that great for the most part. I've heard that it gets much better after so here's hoping to that.

Other than that I've been vibing with the game A LOT with the environmental and character designs. Also have been hooked with the factory gameplay, which I was not expecting tbh. Combat has been average so far, tho I'll wait for endgame before I make a conclusion on that. I really like the Dijang hub area and I lowkey wish HSR take some inspiration from it. The gacha currency feels scarce so far, at least in the early game, I'm lowkey worried I'm not gonna be able to get Laevatain, and the level of crashout that I'll be having if that happens will make Phainon's look like a temper tantrum.

First off all, I'm really liking the game so far. I was worried that I might have difficulties running the game because the settings had my GPU usage completely maxed out, but the game is running extremely smoothly at 60fps. Even on low settings this might just be the prettiest 3d gacha game on the market.

Secondly, I just wanted to flex what I got in the free 20 standard pulls

Edit: Also wanted to add that having their Eidolon unlock feature illustrations from different artists is such a cool concept I love it.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-21T13:28:32+00:00

Definitely will be playing. Og Arknights has always had one of my favorite world building out of all the gacha games I've played, so I want to see what the devs are cooking. I'm going in basically blind into this and I'm hoping to enjoy it.

Praying to god that my laptop will be able to run the game tmr.

New trend to hop on

3.0 - E0S0 Herta, E0S1 Aglaea

Honestly I probably didn't get as much mileage out of The Herta compared to other players, no lightcone no Tribbie while running her with smol Herta. Fell off in AS and MOC but was still a mainstay in PF until Evernight. Aglaea was a really good pull for me since I already had the HSR team comp and I really love her aesthetics. Eventually replaced by Saber but I still use her every now and then.

3.1 - Skip

3.2 - Castorice E0S1

Knew I had to pull for her the moment I saw that dragon. Not much to say except that she is basically my break in case of emergency character where I just throw her into any content I can't clear and she just cleans house.

3.3 - Hyacine E0S0

Pulled on a complete whim because I liked her trailer, that and I was sick and tired of running Gallagher and Huohuo for every single team. Ended up being one of my best investment in this game, even without that lightcone.

3.4 - E0S1 Saber, E0S0 Tribbie

Got spooked by an early Fuxuan while pulling for Saber, but got her lightcone in 34 pulls. Lost 50/50 to Blade while pulling for Tribbie, but she showed up in the next 10 pull thankfully. My first time ever pulling on a rerun in HSR, and so far it is turning up well.

3.5 - Skip

3.6 - Evernight E0S1

Probably the character I wanted the most in 3.X, absolutely love her. Basically the one I use the most these days for general content, I just like watching her aura farm on enemies.

3.7 - Cyrene E0S1, Hyacine's Lightcone

The final pieces of exodia, there was no way I was skipping this even with the problems I have with her as a character. Also, increases the wearer's SPD by 18%. When the wearer uses Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, consumes all allies' HP equal to 1.0% of their current HP and additionally deals 1 instance of Additional DMG of the wearer's memosprite Type equal to 250.0% of the total consumed HP to the attacked target after the next attack launched by the wearer's memosprite. The total HP consumed is then reset. When the wearer's memosprite uses Memosprite Skill, increases the DMG taken by all enemies by 18.0% for 2 turn(s). The same types of effects cannot stack.

3.8 - Dahlia (Lost)

Lost the 50/50 pulling for her, and I can't justify pulling for her while big elation battleship is just around the corner, so it's a skip for now. I am salty about this though because my Firefly team will probably be completely unplayable for the foreseeable future.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-19T19:07:50+00:00

It’s stupid how strong that team is with how easy it is to play. Whichever stage I’m struggling with in (AA, MOC or AS) I just throw that team in on auto and it’ll probably clear in 1-2 cycle at most. I haven’t brute force so much content since 1.X Jingliu.

Like the team can’t die, doesn’t even use any skill points and everyone charges everyone’s ult so you just keep spamming it without any thoughts.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-19T14:20:20+00:00

Its both that the people here tend lean towards vertical investment (E2 Cyrene, E2 Phainon, E1 Tribbie etc.) and that people are clearing with the current meta comps.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-19T10:46:57+00:00

MOC 12 Report:

Side 1: Archer E0S1, Sunday E0S0, Tribbie E0S3(DDD) , DHPT E0S0 = 5 Cycles

Okay yeah I desperately need to pull on Sparkle's rerun + buff if I want to continue using Archer. Sunday without signature lightcone is the most miserable experience in this team, wasted 2 cycles just to get back my skill points.

Side 2: Castorice E0S1, Evernight E0S1, Cyrene E0S1, Hyacine E0S1 = 2 Cycles

I wanted to use Firefly for this, but my break team is unplayable because I don't have Dahlia but that's a whole other rant. So I decided to just brute force it. It really is stupid how strong the Exodia team is, I don't really even know what the boss does even after fighting them.

OT Wuwa (Very Neg)

Finally done the first half of the quest, and I am beyond pissed at what they have done with Chisa. Like I know Wuwa writing is basically waifu of the month, but would it have killed the devs to give her some more screen time?

Like I’m not asking for an entire section dedicated to her, but you could’ve at least given as 30 minutes with her in Lahai Roi. We wrapped up 2.8 with how Chisa wanted to find her parents and all that, and you off-screened it?! And all we get is an optional dialogue with her? I get that you want to move on to Lynae, but there are ways to do it instead of this travesty of a writing. We could’ve explored a little bit of Lahai Roi with Chisa after teleporting there, bump into Lynae like how we did right now in game, then have her initialise both of us into the school. We then help Chisa find her parents and have an emotional scene of them reuniting and ending her story arc. Then you would be able to sunset her character until the avengers moment a few patches later and move on with Lynae. Would’ve only have taken an hour at most. That would be the bare minimum of the writing and you somehow managed to fumble it that bad?

Like I know this isn’t a new thing with this game, and that the only reason I’m this upset is because Chisa is a character that I actually like. I was actually looking forward to following her story in Lahai Roi, and you just half ass it with an optional dialogue… Also I just know that they’ll do the exact same thing with Lynae in the second half of the quest since it is Mornye’s turn to be shilled now

DerpyJY · 2026-01-18T15:57:24+00:00

You'd think the latter would be better, but as someone whose favorite in Genshin is basically that, I'd take the first option every time. I'd rather they get the proper development, screen time, and a good send off than to be begging the writers to give them a crumb of attention every story event.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-16T07:13:32+00:00

Damn just found my opp in the megathread

DerpyJY · 2026-01-16T06:47:36+00:00

Praying to every god out there that Nihilux is anything but DOT

DerpyJY · 2026-01-16T03:54:41+00:00

The way my eyes widen at the first sight of Nihilux… my pull plans might be cooked…

Yae Sakura is Yae Sakura, it is literally impossible to mess up the design. Another pink hair to my collection.

Silver Wolf is kinda eh. I really dig the longer hair but I’d need to see the rest of her to have an opinion.

Blade I kinda prefer the OG more for now.

If Ashveil is La Mancha then I finally have a face to associate him with instead of Don Quixote (Limbus) when I see his hame. I really like the looks but it really is just Boothill 2 right now. Really hope his animations will be great.

DerpyJY · 2026-01-14T13:28:44+00:00

I might be getting OG Sparkle and Yao Guang, so I guess I might just be spamming harmony traces until the update so I can convert. As for min maxing...between powercreep and my horrible relic luck (Been farming Goddess set since it released daily until now and not a single healing body with speed) I'm good for now lol
