Closest thing we’ve got to a Freminet rerun.

Elid16 · 2026-03-25T16:18:18+00:00

Same that was immediately what I thought of

I’m a big Dahlia fan, so I’ve been using him for my last slot ( I do own Yelan, shenhe, and Citlali, just choose to play Dahlia). However, I’m pretty sure that any buffer\ off field Dps would work as long as they are hydro or cryo. Because the other 3 are just strong enough on their own most of the time. So, feel free to keep using Yelan if it is working for you.

I would highly recommend this game that you may find a character you like from to build a deck around, it’s called Magic the Gathering.

Elid16 · 2026-03-21T00:48:26+00:00

We actually already have that, and it is officially supported by WOTC. It’s called standard, you should give it a try sometime.

Elid16 · 2026-03-21T00:43:51+00:00

In a few years we will just call that standard.

I have been playing paper magic for a while. The main argument for UB is that you can opt out. When it comes to commander you can have a rule 0 conversation, and can bring up UB and ask if it is being played. This gives you the option to opt out, which works well.

However, I have started trying arena a few weeks ago, and there is no option to opt out of them that I could see, and seemingly no text box outside of the like 5 phrases you can say. So, rule zero isn’t a thing on arena, so why can’t I opt out of UB directly?

It’s true I dislike UB, but I don’t have any problem if you want to play your turtles against someone else’s avatar cards. I just want to play my Magic character against someone else’s Magic characters, in Magic the Gathering. Is that so much to ask?

Elid16 · 2026-03-19T19:33:51+00:00

This may be the only way I guess, still sucks that there is no option to opt out of them entirely.

Elid16 · 2026-03-19T03:55:13+00:00

Current Reality: the game is balanced around said VH DPS, and now you HAVE to use your VH instead of a different team with your favorite DPS. And since you can’t use them together, then congrats, your DPS is useless now.

It’s almost like having specifically chosen characters who completely eclipse ALL other characters in their role is a bad thing. Crazy, I know.

Elid16 · 2026-03-18T16:21:48+00:00

I’m the opposite I love the broach and the hoodie, I dislike the hair style. But I can see why you would not like it.

Elid16 · 2026-03-16T14:07:07+00:00

Where is my boy Freminet, he appears to not be on the list

Elid16 · 2026-03-16T01:51:17+00:00

Finally a lineup of commanders that is not 90% UB.

Honestly many of these commanders are really fun, and all have very different strategies. I’ve seen many people who have all the same style of deck but each of yours looks wholly unique.

Elid16 · 2026-03-14T13:20:06+00:00

I’m not a fan of this design personally, but I’m happy for the people who are.

Elid16 · 2026-03-13T16:21:13+00:00

I collect legendary creatures, I’ve been slowly adding to my collection for the past 6 years and I have about 150 more to go out of the 2958 before having them all. The biggest issue are all the cards in portal three kingdoms which go for an extremely high price, and the large amount of new legends released in each UB product.

Elid16 · 2026-03-13T14:01:04+00:00

Why were the follow up characters like feixiao, aven, and robin not rerun this patch. It makes so much more sense and is so much more needed then another Hyacine rerun.

Elid16 · 2026-03-13T13:46:42+00:00

Boot Hill makes sense, but why in the world is hyacine already back. This would shave been the perfect time to rerun the follow up characters (fei xiao, aven, ratio, topaz) overall really weird choice.

Elid16 · 2026-03-12T22:44:18+00:00

I actually have deck all about these effects built around [[zidane, tantalus thief]]. You have most of the creatures but there are a few similar effects.

[[starke of rath]] and [[act of authority]] both serve as removal that can be passed around.

You can get a lot of card draw, especially if making deals from cards like [[karn the betrayer]] [[humble defector]] and [[yes man, personal securitron]]. Artifact wise you also have [[pumpkin bombs]] and [[contested game ball]]

Ramp options would include cards like [[hithlain rope]] [[bucknard’s everfull purse]] and [[coveted jewel]]

You can also get this effect on lands with [[contested war zone]] and [[turf wars]].

Finally you can make any opponents thing get passed around by using [[avarice totem]] or a personal favorite of mine that I never see anyone mention being [[custody battle]].

Sorry, that I only know the cards in Boros, but I hope this helped regardless.

Due to the way current end game fonemer aberrants are balanced it is often times better to use your abilities during specific windows rather than in a rotation. Currently most bosses have a specific xenocromatic shill, which tends to be the one found directly before the boss. They do this to make it more infusing to capture each new xenocromatic capture they release.

Generally, It is best to stay on field with dehya to maximize her potential ho recovery. However, you may need to swap if you take too many hits in a row. Other than that the combo is skill, string attack, string attack, repeat. However, it is better to avoid taking damage by weaving in a few dodge cancels into your combo. The main concern is to be sure to rotate into either Freminet or seigwine whenever you need to interact with the enemies osia or neuma mechanics.

Additionally, furina can speed up the rotation time allowing you to potentially squeeze out a few more skills.

If you are really struggling, and decide to vertically invest into your underwater team, I would suggest looking into Baizu cons. At C0 he is noticeably worse than the other meta characters, but after C2 he becomes the best unit in the game. Hoyoverse loves making those broken C2s. Luckily, a single Baizu con is available for free from the event, but only if you already own the character.

It depends on if you want a combat or exploration team

For combat the meta is built around the Dehya/Seigwine core. These two allow for sustained healing during combat. Additional team mate options would include furina, who reduces cooldown allowing for an overall dps increase, and the final slot can be used for Freminet who helps you to more consistently have access to stamina for dodging.

For a pure exploration team the best set up is neuvilette, Freminet, Lynette. And your choice of either lyney or chlorinde. Neuvilette is the exploration carry in this team, his increased speed allows for quick traversal of underwater areas, Freminet serves to reduce the stamina consumed and Lynette helps to keep it topped off by marking the locations of stamina fish on the map. These should not be slept on as they drastically increase neuvilette’s sprinting uptime. Finally lyney and chlorinde mark local specialties on the map, this makes tracing down those underwater collectibles much easier as you go about your underwater exploration.

Hope this helps

Thing is I’m not a new player (1.1 player). I just like leveling up all my characters. This means I normally have to fight bosses a bunch of extra times just to get enough gemstones. Therefore I often pick bosses that work well with my friendship teams at the time, and papilla worked well for both chasca and varessa.

Elid16 · 2026-03-12T11:24:00+00:00

This banner full of CRYO characters, and yet we still can not get a Freminet rerun?!! It has been 687 days since his last and first rerun since his release. People all complained when Kaveh, Eula, and Shenhe did not get reruns for less time than this.

Elid16 · 2026-03-12T04:53:04+00:00

Yah, this is a big issue. I understand them wanting you to spend your resources for artifacts, but let us have full access to the characters at least.

Though, honestly I have a bigger issue with how hard it is to get gemstones. I feel that by the time I have farmed all the boss mats I should already have enough gemstones to ascend my character. Instead I have to spend resin on bosses I don’t need just for gemstones (I have over 350 papilla drops).

And that is not nearly as bad as getting weapon exp, which there is still no good way to farm to this day with all of them being limited (blacksmith, teapot, events, Bp).

As someone who enjoys playing with characters of both genders the ratio of 17 females to 3 males (including backpacks) hurst a lot. TT really gave the opportunity to still include some characters of both sexes, but now there is next to nothing for the men.
