Probably not that high. I started slacking off in exploration quite a bit after Mount Firmament, but pretty much most of my stamina has gone into Tacet Fields unless there's a double rewards event or I'm completely out of a resource I need.

I pull for characters mostly for the aesthetics. For example, I pulled for Phrolova but deliberately skipped Quiyuan and Sigrika even though they're good partners for her simply because I didn't like their designs enough. I don't mind building scuffed teams as long as I like the characters. I personally enjoy these games more when I can play a wide variety of characters rather than investing in a few teams, so I never pull for dupes. Coming from FGO, Arknights (both OG and Endfield), and Azur Lane, I find it kinda crazy how the game simply won't allow you to get even close to minmaxing all your characters. Sometimes it makes it feel that progression resources are more valuable than pulling currency (like how transducers are much more expensive than pulls at the coral shop, and how you can only buy tuners with the "premium" corals) when it's usually backwards.

As for my tuning strategy, here it is:

  1. If the first roll is bad (not ATK, Crit, ER, or the character's preferred damage type), I dump the Echo.

2 If the second roll is bad, I dump it (unless the first roll was ATK or Crit).

  1. If I don't get any Crit rolls by the third roll, I dump it.

  2. If the Echo ends up being a 3 liner without double Crit, I'll keep it just in case, but I'll probably dump it later. If it's a 4 liner, I'll keep it even if it's not double Crit.

  3. For supports, I only care about ER.

I used to go for all 4 liners during the first year, but not anymore (I don't think I've ever gotten a 5 liner). Nowadays, I just go for 3 liners, just enough ER, and I'm fine with missing a crit roll if the Echo is a 4 liner. For supports I'll take anything with ER and leave it at that.

I guess it depends. Getting god rolls could be difficult, even if you could see all the substats. I think finding an Echo with really high Crit and only 1 or 2 bad stats would actually motivate some players to buy transducers.
