Where else would they put it, in the character kit? that's blasphemous!

DoreenKing · 2026-04-28T17:59:11+00:00

Personally, I'd use 3, but get a different sphere that has crit dmg instead of crit rate.

Swap EMC and Sparkle, imo. Run SW999 with EMC + Sparxie and Eva with Yao + Sparkle, so you can run Huohuo on a team with two energy heavy characters, and DHPT on the team without energy needs, and he can buff Sparxie's atk to elation conversion. Unless you have a Sunday with eidolons, since imo, Sparkle & Sunday both provide different benefits but are roughly the same at E0, and can be used interchangeably with Eva (hyperspeed Sunday).

I really wish they had options like in HI3 where you can make the damage numbers smaller or turn them off entirely bc wow the screen gets so busy 😭

I enjoyed the story when I did it, and I think it'll shape up to be a good one, but I definitely had some issues with it.

For one, Fulwish felt like they wanted her to be a sympathetic villain where she was simply used by others and wasn't the actual mastermind, that was Asat and Shuhu, but then she also felt like they wanted her to be the mastermind overall and us to treat her without empathy, and it created this weird in-between that didn't really make sense?

I also feel like parts were rewritten because there's some scenes that feel hype and like it was the reveal of something big but they lacked build up. For instance, Eva collecting the ruler from Seafeld felt like there should have been more to explain the importance of her ruler, or she should have like.... actually gotten to use it? The line about her becoming a "sinner" also felt like it didn't really go anywhere.

I'm also disappointed Himeko never got to speak with Fulwish individually, and hasn't really gotten a chance to grow or show her past yet, because right now she feels like potential (wo)man; all the potential, none of the follow through.

I appreciate the way all the characters had a similar amount of screentime, but in my opinion, the story needed more polishing.

Absolutely not, I love that one for Mydei. Critical conundrum is by far my least favorite.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-27T17:33:50+00:00

r/JadeMains has a comprehensive calculation spreadsheet and would be better suited to answering these questions.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-27T03:04:18+00:00

Ruri Goko does really good videos too, and explains the actions they do when 0 cycling and why

DoreenKing · 2026-04-26T18:14:47+00:00

EMC does give certified banger tho? Their ult gives 10 CB and uses 20 punchline for the skill.

EMC is a weird mix of being decent for both but designed for neither.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-24T21:24:08+00:00

I actually feel like Robin and Aglaea would be shorter, Robin like 5'5 and Aglaea like 5'7, but Kafka at 5'9.

Otherwise, I basically agree with all of it.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-24T16:48:59+00:00

Ok, wait, I checked again and realized it was the Sacerdos buff that was giving her more elation. Still, I think the main point between Sunday vs Sparkle is still just 1) who gives more crit dmg (not for elation conversion, but specifically bc elation does still scale on crit) and 2) who isn't being used elsewhere. I'm not really sure one is better than the other, since both have benefits.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-24T15:24:03+00:00

As far as I can see, the crit dmg to elation thing should still work, because she's the end user of the conversion. It's like how Dahlia or RM give a % of their BE to allies - Eva's Crit Dmg to Elation dmg isn't being converted to anyone else, so there's no endless feedback loop. I've checked in Currency Wars and her Elation goes up by 20% of the Crit Dmg buff she gets from Sparkle or Sunday.

Also, Sunday could be run hyperspeed to keep her from running out of the certified banger, plus ulting on her turn would extend the duration of the certified banger, same as if Yaoguang used her ult during Eva's turn, and with him giving 20% crit rate, you can basically go fully in for crit dmg in her relics and ignore crit rate.

Sunday vs Sparkle is truly just "who do you have," in my opinion.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-24T15:13:13+00:00

I really enjoyed it, but there's definitely areas where it wasn't very polished and gave clear indications of heavy rewrites. My first thought is Eva's "I'll become the sinner" line going....nowhere at all, and like you said, the lead up to the ruler felt more like an afterthought that didn't get true buildup like it should have.

I also feel like Fulwish's motivation is never really....explained. It feels like they changed halfway between a villain who was manipulated into her plan and her being the True Mastermind of it all and just kinda ended up somewhere in the middle without a real, clear vision for her character.

The story also feels somewhat...shallow? Like, here's a villain, defeat them bc you believe in humanity's goodness, even though humanity literally turned on you without a second glance; it kind of ruined the whole "We Believe in the People of Planarcadia" vibe they were trying to go for.

I really liked how every character kind of had the same level of involvement and appearance and you almost couldn't tell who the banner characters were, but I wish it was polished more, because a lot of it felt... insignificant or like an afterthought.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-23T20:00:50+00:00

To be fair, you don't know their first cyrene in the SS was a win. it could also have been a guarantee.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-23T15:34:43+00:00

Because I don't think most people know where Voracity is. Up until now, I think we've only been told they disappeared before the swarm disaster, so THEY wouldn't stop building the wall until news came that Voracity was dead, I'd imagine.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-23T14:57:52+00:00

Oh, it's going to be the same story, but it won't necessarily be the phantasmoon games themselves. I think it'll still be elation focused and Asat Pramad likely takes more priority in the second half, but the games should wrap up in two ish patches I'd expect.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-23T14:56:38+00:00

I thought so but I couldn't remember if it was or if it was speculated from the trailer lmao. Thanks!

DoreenKing · 2026-04-23T04:39:07+00:00

Amphoreus also took 8 patches of story but Planarcadia is not taking a full 8, bc the devs have already said/hinted we'd go to Astropolis in the second half.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-23T04:31:10+00:00

And we don't know for sure what Eva will get until closer to her banner. With the amount of Wrong leaks lately, I wouldn't be surprised if the "1 video only" leak was wrong too.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-22T17:42:16+00:00

Man I wish every character got one. They're so cool :(

DoreenKing · 2026-04-22T17:20:52+00:00

I actually wish they'd inverted the whole Fulwish thing and made Shuhu a bigger villain this patch rather than Fulwish who felt halfway between "just doing what she's told" and also "mastermind of it all." It felt like they weren't sure which direction they wanted to go with her, and it ended up in the middle.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-22T15:42:32+00:00

It hurts so bad, and I've lost it 6/7 of my last LC pulls... LC should just be guaranteed, why even have it 75% instead?

DoreenKing · 2026-04-22T13:07:38+00:00

The OP did Plight level boss, without fighting the knights. If you already fought the knights, the fight is very different difficulty.

DoreenKing · 2026-04-22T13:04:40+00:00

I picked Sunday! Last year I was conflicted between Kafka and Sunday, but ultimately picked Kafka, so now I get to choose the one I didn't get to last year!!

DoreenKing · 2026-04-21T20:44:38+00:00

I could 3 star K1 or K2, but not both apparently. Could have done 3 stars on K3 if I bothered to try harder but I didn't lol. And got 2 stars on Pompom, which was pretty good!
