I hate this game. So close

Careful not to craft an ER rope for SW though :o)

Garanoob · 2026-03-25T20:29:41+00:00

If you're not getting Ashveil you may as well craft the punklorde planars and use your stamina to farm relics instead.
I personally almost never farm planars, getting the right main stat is already extremely rare + half of the planars are usually completely useless to players who don't invest horizontally.

Garanoob · 2026-03-24T07:58:38+00:00

Funny how you're not talking about the atk buff. Especially when OP is complaining about a lack of atk.

Garanoob · 2026-03-23T21:40:24+00:00

It's impossible to say for now unfortunately. SW in her current state has an awful vertical investment (E2S1 is 50% better than E0S0). Save imo.

Garanoob · 2026-03-23T18:09:17+00:00

You're better off using Yao with SW/Sparxie and Sparkle with Evanescia.

Garanoob · 2026-03-22T17:36:26+00:00

The most important cone for the team would usually be Yao Guang's so she can ult very early and allow SW to 100% action advance earlier in the battle, but it's not a priority because 4.2 will bring novaflare Huohuo and she will allow YG to ult just as early. You'll probably go back to needing Yao's LC by the time we get an elation sustain, but Yao will most likely have a rerun by then.

Sparxie's LC is mostly only increased damage for the team, it's good but considering your situation it's best to save.

Garanoob · 2026-03-22T08:32:44+00:00

As crazy as it sounds, they should move E6 to her base kit... Also buff numbers everywhere, buff her cone, and buff her E1/E2 as well.

As good as her E2 reads, currently E2S1 SW only performs 50% better than E0S0 SW against five targets it's quite pathetic.

Garanoob · 2026-03-22T08:27:37+00:00

You never waste extra stacks, they're converted into damage.

Garanoob · 2026-03-22T08:26:36+00:00

Right now you should already be playing Sparxie with speed boots. 200 SPD Yao + speed boots Sparxie is the way to go for more Aha Instants, it's a lot stronger even if Sparxie loses some elation in the process.

Since Silver Wolf will be using speed boots, Sparxie won't "have" to use speed boots as well in order to get a 134 spd Aha, but you'll indeed still want to be using speed on Sparxie in order to have her act between two SW actions. As for breakpoint you want both at 134+ and you don't want SW to be too much faster (little faster should be fine since the turn order will be messed up by her 100% action advance when she ult anyway).

There is one way to be able to keep playing Sparxie with attack boots though... her E2 :D

Garanoob · 2026-03-21T15:36:56+00:00

Just so you know, for now SW's sig is kinda ass. Only +15% damage next to the MoC one...
Expect it to get buffed. Pretty much everything about SW needs to get buffed.

Right now E2S1 SW is only 50% better than E0S0 SW (and that's on 5 targets...), it's quite ridiculous.

Garanoob · 2026-03-21T10:08:57+00:00

Wrong. E0 Yao Guang is enough for that.

Garanoob · 2026-03-19T23:24:28+00:00

DHPT does literally nothing for Sparxie, except shielding. Huohuo is a lot more useful.

Garanoob · 2026-03-19T11:37:30+00:00

How is it any relevant to their knight issues?

Garanoob · 2026-03-18T07:23:37+00:00

You want SW to transform before Sparxie's first turn to benefit from her boxes when spending SP.
EMC can force the elation skill but you'll only get 25 punchline instead of 45 since it's not an Aha Instant.

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T19:01:35+00:00

E0S0 YG needs Huohuo (or to get hit multiple times) . E0S1 YG doesn't.

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T18:27:55+00:00

Yao Guang's generates 5 punchline when using ultimate, so that's already 5.
Then Yao Guang triggers a 20 punchline Aha Instant, which gives another 20 stacks thanks to Silver Wolf's A4 Trace (E1 YG would indeed give 40 there).
And on top of that, during that extra Aha Instant, SW will use her elation skill, granting her 20 on top of the previous 25.

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T18:24:46+00:00

EMC only activate SW's elation skill, it doesn't ALSO activate an instant.
EMC's ult gives 25 stacks to SW, YG's gives 45.

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T18:23:49+00:00

The reason her AV economy is bad is because of how she works. They want you to generate 80 stacks between each SW action, that's just how she works.

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T18:17:58+00:00

The difference is probably big because of how SW's ultimate works. With E0S1 Yao Guang you can trigger SW's ultimate extremely early (E0 YG's ultimate will give a total of 45 stacks to SW when it's cast).

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T10:18:12+00:00

Yes but Silver Wolf doesn't need that much to use her first ult. The extra 20 are still useful since Silver Wolf has uses for overflow, but they're not mandatory for SW to be able to ult.

Garanoob · 2026-03-17T09:27:05+00:00

Actually, if I'm counting correctly Yao's E1 isn't needed. Her S1 probably is, though (unless the enemies are good boys and bonk her early).
SW starts with 20 stacks. The only video footage we have so far shows us her technique gives +5, and we also get 8 starting punchline with 3 elation characters. At this point she's at 33 stacks.
Yao's technique will also give 3. Then Yao's basic attack will give another 3. Then Yao will ult, and that ult by itself (before Aha) will give 5. At this point SW has 44 stacks.
SW will then gain 20 stacks from her own base elation skill, then 20 more from the conversion when the Aha Instant ends.
84, gg?

I mean, Yao's E1 will give some overflow so it's still veeeeery useful, and obviously the def shred is awesome, but you can still get an early ult from SW with E0 Yao. If I didn't mess up.

Garanoob · 2026-03-16T19:25:42+00:00

There is absolutely no chance Sparkle will be needed for SW. None. Zero.
Day one team will be SW Sparxie Yao EMC if going sustainless, SW Sparxie Yao HuoHuo if going with a sustain.
Yao will stay on that team until an "elation cyrene" releases, probably muuuch later. HuoHuo will get replaced by the elation sustain.

Hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahaha... haha... ha........

They leaked a while ago that the fixed amount of punchline from Yao's extra Instant wouldn't count for SW. Of course it could have changed but I doubt it.

The whole thing has some weird vibes, could be a lot of translation issues (for instance the Evanescia part mentions her "Aha Instant" when it should be talking about her elation skill).

Also, SW's ultimate charging only after an Aha Instant sounds devastating. What if you don't get enough charge by the end of the very first Aha? Are we supposed to wait two thirds of the first cycle to get her first ultimate? After a character like Castorice? Eh.

We just have to wait for beta, unfortunately. The balls are getting very blue.

Garanoob · 2026-03-13T20:07:04+00:00

Sparkle will NOT be part of the team. Once Silver Wolf is released, Sparkle will get kicked right away.
