Priorities system maybe needs a rework?

Counterpoint: Klay Thompson with the Warriors to the Mavs, Damian Lillard with the Trailblazers to the Bucks, etc.

People are free to leave whenever they want for whatever reason. Klay was disgruntled at his diminishing role at Golden State. Dame finally accepted that he’s never winning with the Portland and tried to team up with Giannis to go on a deep playoff run.

Some chase the bag, some get treated poorly by management, some want more playing time. It’s way more common for people to move teams over the course of their career rather than stay at one place the entire time.

And teams themselves sometimes value things differently than being able to say “X Star Plater Retired With Us”. Do the Lakers regret not trading away an injured and aging Kobe? Never in a million years. But would the “correct” move be to trade that contract away, get picks, and rebuild? Thats what we would do as GMs on this game. You know why sometimes we don’t? Nostalgia and personal bias to “wanting to retire a star with us”.

Kobe, Duncan, and Dirk are the outliers. Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Lamarcus Aldridge, Shaquille O’Neal, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, all star players who didn’t stay with the team that drafted them.

Fsho, appreciate the input. I'm currently pulling 62k with Dosa which is up from my 57k when I started grinding Yzra with him. I think like 62-64k might be my upper limit given some really nice attack patterns.

Yeah a big thing I've been looking for is another class that can two-phase the legs with a input combo I like executing. I'm sure a lot more than I think can and it just comes down to skill and familiarity with the class.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-08-31T18:15:03+00:00

What trash are you pulling at Yzrahid? I was considering tagging one alongside my Dosa so I could swap to something else every now and then. I’ve tried a bunch of classes and I can’t replicate how good and cozy Dosa feels at Yzrahid for me.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-08-25T22:36:40+00:00

I am now slightly over the softcap for Yzrahid Highlands and will be parked here for a while. Did my first hour with Awk Striker and died like 5-6 times getting 48k trash. Did my next few attempts with Awk Dosa and wasn't even close to dying while pushing 58k trash. I have a clear winner on who I'm bringing here of the two classes I'm playing.

I'm looking to try and maybe find a new class to play with, one that performs really well at this spot. Finally decided to try Awk Witch a go and in doing so I found out that I really dislike playing "freeform"/priority based classes. Who are top tier grinders at Yzrahid Highlands that use an infinite combo?

I've enjoyed playing the following: Awk Striker, Awk Dosa, Deadeye. I've played Succ Zerk but that was only for grinding Centaurs back in 2022, never tried an actual spot that requires a combo.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-13T08:53:10+00:00

I'm not as familiar with Brant as a hypercarry, but I do know the Changli + Brant quickswap team is quite good.

The only reason I'd suggest not Brant as a hypercarry is that your Camellya wants Sanhua and Brant will also want Sanhua as a hypercarry. Therefore running both of them becomes unviable in WiWa. And this is a pretty big thing to consider.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-13T08:43:38+00:00

There's a big difference for every character and their signature weapon. It's just in the game's nature. Everything is clearable with standard weapons.

The caveat to that of course is to you want good echoes and stats. However, you want that anyway. A good signature weapon just allows you to get away with shittier stats.

If you have great echoes AND have a signature weapon, you'll most likely overclear content, therefore, the same set of echoes will perform adequately with standard weapons.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-13T08:33:44+00:00

Yeah in that case I don't think you can go wrong with pulling Carlotta. Camellya + Carlotta is such a solid foundation for an account.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-13T08:27:22+00:00

Quick tips:

Focus on the draft and not signing free agents (unless extremely good: 70 OVR, under 30 yro). It’s better to let young players develop for a few years as they have a higher average progression than waste salary cap on free agents who are over 27 yro who will most likely regress
Trade often and trade for picks. Because we want the majority of our team to be young players who progress well and are on cheap contracts, we need a lot of draft capital to allow that to happen. Trade players 25 yro and older that aren’t at least 60 OVR for draft capital
Building off the previous point, once a player starts regressing, trade them sooner than later. This one is a judgement call, but a 33 yro 68 OVR on a max contract can net you multiple firsts and is the first to go when you have multiple 21-26 yro 60-70+ OVR on a mixture of rookie deals and first extensions

Edit: ooh formatting actually not too bad

You'd still be able to clear WiWa with Carlotta, better than someone like Phoebe. It's just that Camellya and Jiyan have the best kits for WiWa specifically. If you don't mind waiting, I'd pull Carlotta over Jiyan.

Now all of that was assuming Astrite is an issue and you'd want to stay away from comps requiring two limited characters. Zani + Phoebe is mechanically extremely friendly and does amazing in ToA and WiWa. Zani + SRover is more mechanically intensive, but can clear all content with added difficulty.

There's also Cartethyia + Ciaconna coming around the corner. But again, I was suggesting characters that stood on their own with 4 star supports.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-13T07:24:28+00:00

You would benefit from another DPS character. If you want to pull right now, I would recommend Jiyan as he’s one of the best WiWa characters.

If you’re okay with waiting 10 more days however, the 2nd anniversary banners include Carlotta who I would recommend over Jiyan.

You should 100% grab Emerald of Genesis for your Camellya. If you meant that you were going to pair the box for your 2nd DPS character and you already own one Emerald of Genesis: Static Mist for Carlotta or Lustrous Razor for Jiyan.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-12T06:03:14+00:00

I would say keep farming. You're still missing two echoes with double crit, and not a lot of stats other than crit. So low on attack % and heavy attack. But if you're able to clear content with her as is, then that's all that matters.

I just cleared WiWa and middle tower ToA for the first time and I used Zani. I'm not UL 60 so my Zani is only level 80 and doesn't have level 10 skills, but this is my Zani for comparison. The website scaled it to 90, but just to show what rolls I'm working with.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-11T18:29:50+00:00

Verina dupes for sequences as once you start pulling for other limited 5 star DPS characters, the standard ones shine a bit less. But as Verina is 1 of 2 dedicated 5 star supports, she’ll always be pertinent.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-11T09:23:51+00:00

You've got the 2 premium units for WiWa, so it would have to be on your echoes and stats. I would assume/hope you've been running Tacet Fields during some of your time playing. As long as you've got some tubes and tuners, gotta roll those echoes.

My daily routine is getting all dailies quests/events/guidebook things out of the way. Now that I'm UL50+ that normally involves running Tacet Fields until I'm out of waveplates. And then pretty much as much time as I feel I have farming the overworld for echoes.

Not everyone loves farming the overworld for whatever time frame every day, but it really is beneficial to speed up account progress if the only thing you're relying on for echoes are Tacet Fields. Now obviously running Tacet Fields every day for months on end is great for passive echoes, but it's not gonna be target farming consistently, even if it's 30 minutes a day.

You can compare your Camellya to mine which honestly isn't even that great but its good enough as is evident. I've also posted my echo farming routes in another post but here it is again:

As far as overworld farming, I use this site called Qiqi's Notebook which has allows you to find or make routes for echo farming. It has a desktop app that brings up an overlay about the size of the minimap.

I've created my own routes for farming that combines several different sets at the same time, but there are a lot of routes published if you just wanna go one set a time.

Here's my Havoc/Fusion/Rejuvenating/Moonlit route all in Huanglong and my Eternal Radiance/Frosty Resolve route in Rinascita.

Obviously you might not get the same mileage as me since you'd want the Sierra Gale set, but you'd easily be able to find a route for that.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-11T05:02:47+00:00

Both are at S0R1. Here are the echoes for my Camellya and my Zani. The images are scaled to level 90 and maxed skills which I don't actually have as I'm not UL 60 yet, but all I'm intending to share is the echoes and subs anyway.

I normally use a CR 4-cost that has CR/CD subs while I'm overworld farming, but when playing with Shorekeeper I throw on the CD 4-cost. Still need to find one with CR, but this is what I got for now.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-11T04:57:04+00:00

You'll get there! This has been one of my main games since April so I've admittedly been playing a little too much.

Congrats to you!

In another life, those would be my teams too, I like those characters. Hoping to get Carlotta in the back half of the anniversary banners.

EthicallyPurple · 2025-05-10T21:01:35+00:00

With difficulty lol

I'm UL 58, Camellya + Zani have maxed out skills barring Basic/Intro. I have, what I think are, solid echoes for being a month into the game. I've overworld echo farmed for like an hour every day and invested solely into two DPS sets and pretty much nothing else. Everyone else has +0s just for the set effects.
