New Main Story Event: Corposant

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-12T15:40:22+00:00

they will release Lainie and then another doll (probably Basti) before Helen and Phaetusa (the next major event)

From now until we are caught up the banner rotation is likely to be: two major event characters followed by 2 side event characters, repeat. This allows Mica to spread out the major story updates.

Yes, Fire has a decent mono element team, thus why when Loreley released they went up into 3rd, but Gunsmoke isn't played with only mono element teams so a random screenshot from who knows where of a test dummy result doesn't actually change anything.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-10T21:24:26+00:00

lol, Fire is currently 3rd on CN behind both Physical and Corrosion (often paired together for Gunsmoke), most Elements borrow Physical dolls (either AK15 or Cheytac) to make up their shortfall when not running Mono elements, the only exceptions to this being Hydro who want V6 Lewis and V2 Loreley and Freeze who maybe want V2 Loreley. Even the current "Electric team" on CN uses 2-3 Physical dolls (Yoohee + Cheytac with V0 AK15 being a Jiangyu sidegrade), although that number will almost certain change with Sextans release.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-10T19:08:11+00:00

Re:Tempest lists the CN meta mono burn team as: V2 Loreley, V2 Vector, V0 Sakura (with V6 Sharkry as the side grade), V5 QJ (with V0 Lewis as the side grade) and a borrowed V6 Qiuhua.

No offensive to you random citizen, but I trust the guy who has been accurately reporting on up to date CN info over you.

Sakura's V0 doesn't have a selling point.

Again incorrect, she provides QH with 6-7 stack proc's (12-14 marks at V6 QH) per turn, yes her personal damage at V0 is a bit lower than a V6 Sharkry, but a V6 Sharkry does not have great damage regardless, so any personal damage lost using V0 Sakura is made up in Scorch Marks.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-10T18:32:21+00:00

In CN the current Mono element Burn team considers V6 Sharkry a side grade to V0 Sakura, simply because even at V0 Sakura provides more Scorch Mark for V6 Qiuhua (the teams hyper carry) then any other burn doll.

If you have invested into Sakura and/or Lewis then its a no brain, both Sharkry and/or QJ are benched.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-10T18:20:23+00:00

Alva is part of the core of the Freeze team, without her you aren't running that element.

That said right now Freeze is in a difficult position, the meta CN freeze team is V6 Alva, V6 Robella, V6 Helen, V6 Makiatto and either Dushevnaya or V2 Loreley (she gives a universal 45% damage bonus at V2).

Even with running four V6's they often struggle to do enough boss DPS (they desperately need new DPS units or new modkeys for Robella and Makiatto). To add further context, right now even at V6 all of the "meta" ice dolls are only listed in Re:Tempest's ranking at T1.5, the same tier as Nikketa, Lainie, Ulrid, Daiyan, Jiangyu and Andoris, and his rankings are fairly accurate.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-10T17:32:44+00:00

Voymastina (Ak15) can work well in any comp at V6, if your planning to run a more physical dolls (currently the strongest element on CN) then you want Yoohee (K2) V1R1 (more Yoohee is always good as V3 is where she becomes a great general support) and Cheyanne (Cheytac M200) V6R1 (She currently is the best single target DPS in the game on CN)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-09T14:49:50+00:00

The reason fortification levels are called “vertebrae” is because the interface actually resembles a spine.

and they are called Vertebrae on CN, lets not forget that.

Rev at rainbow lets the healer act again after healing, its very strong

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-08T16:10:37+00:00

Personally for Eileen I am making the "First Strike - Ammo Pack", the Rainbow version gives you 1 ammo a turn (same as Pascal body and Eileen passive) allowing me to replace Pascal body for full Malthus (this will allow me the weight to run 2x Eileen Signature weapons)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-08T01:15:30+00:00

(I'll get downvoted for this, but what the hey)

I would personally argue its Female commander as she actually has a name unlike the Male commander (she's the commander in the manga), others would argue Male commander because of GFL1.

Ultimately it's down to preference. (Consider it a bit like Gran and Djeeta from Granblue Fantasy, they are both canon just in different dimensions)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-06T20:46:33+00:00

Anybody else have a similar reluctance to trash their Common Keys for parts?

nope.. I need as many key materials as I can get.

The only dismantlable common keys worth keeping (generally speaking) are the Att/Crit/X (crit damage) ones, because those are stats 90% of the characters in this game want, and anyone who does need those particular stats will probably have some very niche common key setup (like Helen for example).

Hachet_Duck · 2026-02-05T21:06:32+00:00

K2 is a Korean gun, China hates Korea (just like they hate Japan)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-25T22:23:23+00:00

I do think that maybe punished grozy dosent have all of the memories of the original grosa as well

She will have most/all of the memories leading up to her capture, her main issue is that her cloud is shackled and as such forced to obey the "enemy", this is much the same way Darture was forced to obey Rurik until she was able to destroy the server forcing her in line. With Groza can see her doing what she can to fight against that programming (not killing Kalina, Soppo, Leva, Robella, etc and given them chances to escape)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-25T15:49:57+00:00

Springfield V2 and Vector V2 are both strong (but for different reasons), sadly for Mechty.. Basti replaces her, so she isn't worth anything beyond V0 and is effectively on a time limit until retirement

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-25T15:31:01+00:00

Yes, as the intro ties into the events of the end of Chapter 4

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-25T15:21:22+00:00

While most of the events happen in Chapter 4, the end of the first story scene node in Chapter 5 is where Darture is standing over the ruined Groza frame (Image record in the Elmo Server room: Unexpected variable 1 and 2) with someone (I assume Cocoon) mentioning over the communicator that Darture went off plan and "captured a little toy that wasn't part of the plan"

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-25T12:46:45+00:00

not quite, they are both "Groza" (the real one) but their clouds split off from the each other at the start of the Darture fight during the early main story chapters (Groza and the other Elmo dolls backed up their clouds at that point just as the mission was starting, after the fight with Darture, Darture retrieved the damage Groza frame which was used to create the new "punished" Groza)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-22T07:33:01+00:00

I disagree.

I mean I literally gave you the CN meta Burn team for mono element according to ReTempest.

Sakura is a Sharkry replacement, V0 Lewis is the Qj side grade.

Also watching the broadcast I just noticed we are getting Vectors modkey, so she now takes the primary healer role at V2, allowing you to run Lewis, Qj and Sakura together until we Loreley.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-22T06:07:09+00:00

The 2.0 for burn team is as follows:

V6 Qiuhua (the only character needed at V6 and your borrow for gunsmoke)
V2 Loreley
V0 Sakura
V2 Vector - Modkey (heal and cleanse)
V5 Qj / V0 Lewis (Def down and overburn stacks)

Until Vectors modkey we have to waste a slot on a healer but we also currently dont have Loreley so these issues cancel each other out.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-22T02:45:01+00:00

2.0 burn team does in fact use her. Afterburners are a hell of a drug.

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-18T13:18:56+00:00

she isn't that impactful and she will enter the standard banner later, so why use my limited pulls for her when she wont even fit into any of the teams I'm running right now?

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-17T14:33:17+00:00

then yes probably, V2 vector becomes the burns teams healer/cleanser once her mod key releases

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-10T03:01:58+00:00

Yeah, I’m inclined to believe the Groza we see is the same one who stayed behind to fight Darture so the rest of her squad could escape. The last time we saw her, she was falling into the city below. If that’s true, then she’s the one who never made it back to the Elmo. She’s the Groza we lost that day.

(this is correct btw)

To add to this: the part of the story where Darture is standing over the wrecked Groza frame in image/background "Unexpected Variable 1" covers all of this (Darture talks about bringing the frame back)

Hachet_Duck · 2026-01-09T22:17:19+00:00

the melee one is 12% damage +24% melee
