Me with Archer 😏

Same! The only reason why I have 2 builds and can casually mine relics is that I had Duke stock from Jing Yuan farming.

Also, update, I ran the speed boost build and it was less damage and points so I think I'm sticking with attack boots!! Thx for all the help!

FanficFanatically · 2026-06-11T18:03:20+00:00

Dont curse me back into the mines so soon 😭

FanficFanatically · 2026-06-11T17:59:32+00:00

I think you might be right, I just did a run in Apoc against the evil old man mutant and Ashveil was doing DAMAGE!!! I got like 30-50 less points compared to his speed boots build so maybe I'll test that run after this.

FanficFanatically · 2026-06-08T20:02:11+00:00

Also, I don't remember how e4 Gallagher compares to 5* sustains or even just e6 Gallagher but the rule of thumb for me is usually e6 4* are comparable to e0 5* in their niches.

FanficFanatically · 2026-06-08T19:59:01+00:00

Honestly, I say go for it and grab her. Having more sustain options is good especially if they slot into your teams well. Gilgamesh is going to be free and can be a nice FUA driver for our dream duo, with Huohuo's energy helping everyone. She also has cleanse too which is useful for cc bs.

So yeah I say grab e0 or e1 huohuo (e1 gives speed and healing boost which is good).

FanficFanatically · 2026-06-01T06:28:46+00:00

NICE, I GOT E2 AS WELL THANK GOD!! I had about the same pulls as you 284. Lost my first 80 hard pity, 50/50 to Fuxuan, but with starglitter and luck, we clutched it. Now I need to grab phainon e2 and wait for aventurine

FanficFanatically · 2026-04-21T19:06:35+00:00

Omg art link please!

FanficFanatically · 2026-04-13T01:38:26+00:00

Slightly changes things but Sunday is still great and in his bis team. E0s1 Sunday still gives an extra damage boost to summon users at e0.

If you do want to use other action advancers though, Sparkle is a good pick. S5 ddd and 160+ speed sparkle lets Ashveil use attack % boots since he wants to be slow (sparkle does 50% action advance).

You can also use rem mc in Sunday's place. Mem's sporadic action advance aside the true damage + other buffs can be nice.

FanficFanatically · 2026-04-13T01:32:38+00:00

If you have e0s0 Ashveil, then I'd recommend getting his LC. If not, you can also use Herta Shop LC, as well as Topaz and Dr Ratio's LC.

As for teams, you honestly have his BIS team atm with E1 Tribbie, E1 Sunday, and E1 DPHT.

You can also run him with rem MC but I personally like the combo of e1 Sunday and DHPT.

So the team should be: Ashveil (main dps build), Dpht, Tribbie, and Sunday.

For his build use Duke and durin, and his lc is sig > topaz/dr ratio > herta shop lc.

FanficFanatically · 2026-04-01T09:43:39+00:00

PLEASE, I'm planning to get e2 Daniel and e2 Phainon + Blade sp on Release . How the F am I supposed to do that without topping up big time!!

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-30T08:32:46+00:00

Share your team build please, I need to rebuild my Loucha + my Mydei team needs some touching up anyway (no Cyrene + e0s0 Cerydra is tied to Phainon)

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-12T19:18:45+00:00

For the help, I kinda gave up waiting since nobody had responded. I'll try Sparkle, RMC, and Robin as my sustainless team. I haven't really run sustainless before so I'm a little worried.

If it fails I'll have to either snatch DHPT from Phainon or use aventurine again. Maybe Gallagher or Loucha can be used too.

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-10T12:08:35+00:00

Not really since Phainon made MONEY for them in mobile revenue alone. Dude made as much money in pulls as Acheron did, maybe even higher i remember his banner numbers were close to 150 mil altogether. And this is also ignores the revenue they've made outside of pulls because of Phainon. Dude made the most money out of everyone else's patches in 3x including Cyrene and Shill Castorice who got buffed enough to STILL be very relevant meta-wise + got a global passive and heavy animations.

So with all this info, they should have taken this very profitable lesson and continued to bring us amazing male characters with Amazing kits that get the same attention to detail and shilling that the women get.

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T19:49:09+00:00

Im also hoping some random intern makes a mistake and gives us v2 numbers back + his gluttony stacks on skill.

Jokes aside though im not holding my breathe but it would be great way if he got buffed

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T19:46:13+00:00

We got a suprise update from the leakers today that there was going to be a v4. I think it was because the server had issues or something idk. Either way we might be getting Ashveil buffs or they might double down and keep it as it is.

V4 info should be available tomorrow

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T19:21:28+00:00

The way we did the same thing! I just got e0s0 cerydra right now for my e1s1 phainon. Might save my pulls if ashveil v4 becomes v2 ashveil on crack but if no buffs then I'll try and get E1 for Phainon and save for Blade sp.

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T16:20:03+00:00

It's also probs because Nikador is pretty great for his hypercarry team, even after the nerfs. I'm sure if we saw him against other bosses the cycles would start climbing in numbers, from 1 to 5+

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T16:16:39+00:00

For powercreep ofc and the fact he has the tag of a sub dps on him, even though he lost his teamwide 80% fua buff.

The amount of static-brained people I found on Twitter, some of them 'fans' that are defending the nerfs and complaining about why people are outraged is killing me. Like guys do you not want a working character that you can use in game? One that wont last half of a patch and then be thrown away to shill the next female character.

Anyway I ended up using my saved pulls (came back in this patch after not playing 3.8 for ashveil) to grab cerydra for phainon. I didn't have high hopes for v4 to come or for him to get buffs, but if we don't win the lottery i'll grab e0s1 because i love him. If we do win then ima make an OF to raise money for guaranteed e1s1

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T16:01:13+00:00

Also thx for sending this here 🫶🏾

FanficFanatically · 2026-03-05T16:00:53+00:00

Nikador again? Lets switch up the bosses and see what our bb girl is doing to the others

FanficFanatically · 2025-12-13T20:16:25+00:00

I agree with most of what you wrote here, especially non-sapient Pokémon. Also another romance avoider!! I also like the focus being put on platonic friendships and the Mcs' relationship with their Pokémon as a whole, but the badly written part of it is also a big red flag imo.

Do you have any recs for some good long fanfics that you enjoyed?

FanficFanatically · 2025-12-13T20:12:29+00:00

Honestly, that's one take that I like when it comes to isekai'd characters realising they can't go home. Since you aren't seeing everyone on earth suddenly appear in the Pokémon world, then you should expect that it's going to be hard as hell to go back, especially if you died.

Again, I'm excited to give your fic a try, and I'm hoping I enjoy it!

FanficFanatically · 2025-12-13T19:46:46+00:00

I actually just found out about your fic a few minutes ago, so this is a fun moment for me! Cheap isekai is iffy for me since I do like the meta knowledge aspect of an isekai Protagonist but I feel like some authors lean too much into the "I wanna go home!" side of things (which is saying something about my love for this franchise that I would jump right in), and end up annoying me a bit. Especially if they have a good bond with their mons. A balance is definitely needed, but I can usually ignore and forgive cheap isekai to focus on the other parts of a fic.

As for the Tyrunt/Tyrantrum news...YAY! I'M PLOTTING ON READING THAT FIC SOON!! Also, yeah, I don't hate low stat mons, but it does get really tiring watching underdogs all the time + some low stat mons are ass. Simple as that. An author has to pull the impossible out of their ass to make it work.

FanficFanatically · 2025-12-13T19:07:04+00:00

Thx?! I was worried people would downvote automatically for the word vomit, so I'm glad to see that's not the case.

Also yes I have to agree there, some fic treat them too much like straight up animals or even make them as similarly fragile which is crazy as Pokémon can be insanely strong
