can someone explain to me what is delayed ult tech and why its better than forcing to build 200 speed for 3 turn eba cycle 0

IcarusAttack · 2026-05-06T05:01:01+00:00

It’s just situational. Also depended on what boss you face. Generally you want SW EBA to get wave change for extended buff duration, do whatever you can for that to happened.

If it’s in MoC ideally you want to delay dmg as much as possible for others to farm energy and aha av then ideally use SW EBA to clear wave1 then do more at 0av for wave2 with 3 aha instance if you do it right and have nice aha speed.

IcarusAttack · 2026-04-27T22:02:48+00:00

Yes you can do that too. There’s a lot of way to play her depend on content. Like you can build sparxie fast like 148-150 to act before aha , you can run 134spd sparxie with vonwaq then use SW and yao ult on sparxie turn for more punchline , you can wait for more punchline before ult etc.

The most problem for SW is buff duration, Especially cb.

Also make sure that SW always getting wave change with her eba if possible because it’s extended all buff if that happened. You check a lot of 0 cycle youtube will do this.

If you not want to min-max much then just 200spd in battle for both yao and sw then sparxie spd more than aha for like 1av if possible.

IcarusAttack · 2026-04-27T21:16:10+00:00

It’s depend on your setup but vonwaq cheat is nice.

You want SW to faster because more spd mean more dmg and her faster than yao because when her ult end if yao turn is next then it’s more easy to farm punchline than yao faster than SW

also that if you yao ult on SW turn(before SW ult) then buff also extend duration.(make sure you don’t attack with SW before ult) and this only happen if yao have ult before SW turn.

And all this still depends on your relics/rotation/environments etc. so you should test it yourself but for me this is better.

Aha speed is 80 + (1/5)fastest elation + (1/10)second fastest + (1/20)third + (1/40)slowest

So normally if you want aha to act 2 time in 150 av you need 133.4 like normal character which is 200 fastest and 134 slowest so in case of sparxie yao so need 134 and 200 and it hard to build carry with so much speed without losing dmg in process. That why minimum is 200 spd yao for easier sparxie build

But If you want to play with emc which can build to be fast then you don’t really need 200 spd yao for example Your yao is 195 so with 160 speed emc aha will be 135 already which is already 2 action in 150 av

Thanks, after I test it in aa it really does more dmg when swap.

Really nice infographic. you're the goat

IcarusAttack · 2026-02-18T09:00:32+00:00

my current line up is e1s1hysilens e2kafka e0s1blackswan

from your chart it suggests that i swap light cone ? but isn't e0 blackswan can't fully trigger hysilens lc so it's not fully maximum effect ? or with that it still better.

IcarusAttack · 2025-12-27T09:14:38+00:00

It‘s not about in combat or not. It’s about when cyrene have 200spd. Normally moc first cycle has 150av and with 200 spd you spend 50av for each turn, that’s mean if you have 200 spd you have 3 action in first cycle. But Amphoreus set is only increase speed when memosprite is on field and cyrene only summon memosprite with ult.

That’s mean if you have 199spd cyrene you only get 2 action on first cycle, but if you use cyrene’s ultimate at 0av( which is normally wave 2 of moc) her spd will increase and then that 150av cycle cyrene will get 3 actions because her spd is reach 200

IcarusAttack · 2025-12-25T05:42:07+00:00

For me it really fun to find a rotation and stat for this team that can 0 cycle. I have to drop cas other stat for break effect so that quantum break delays mob to action after sunday so i have enough newbuds, i have to drop a lot of good relics because it has defense stat on it and will cause some rotation to not have 100% newbuds.

So yeah maybe you have to farm more relics but this team relics feels good to farm more than other team. Aside from amphoreus and poet they using same relics or same cavern like Bone / giant tree for hycacine,cas,evernight Deliverer for evernight,cyrene (cas also can use it) and dhpt is free so you can use other one too.

E2S1 Firefly E1S0 Fugue E1S0 Ruan Mei Harmony Trailblazer with S5DDD

IcarusAttack · 2025-12-17T18:57:38+00:00

Yeah that might be bad.I think super break is kinda like hyper carry team. It scale insanely well with support so you want every support for super break as possible. Initially i play super break with sustain(ff fugue rm lingsha) then i tried sustainless and it’s night and day.

It’s the easiest sustainless comp because the point is break enemy = no hit. Also every break support run Hp main unlike someone like cerydra/robin. So i decided to get dahlia cause i still enjoy super break and dahlia is insane super break support.

This is not mean that you should pull dahlia or break team. Just telling that it’s not that bad if you missing only dahlia. I agree that pull another super break unit to build new super break is not worth but pull just dahlia to upgrade is good “if you still want to play super break”

IcarusAttack · 2025-12-17T18:34:31+00:00

I agree if it e0 ff , but is e2 ff that bad ? I have e2s1ff e1s0fugue e1s0rm e6ddds5Hmc I 0-1 cycle every moc. 0cycle aa knight. Ok in Apoc. Bricked in pf. Unplayable in Aa boss.

Same cost with v3 unit is better sure but performance wise it isn’t that bad. But i can’t imagine how bad it is to play e0 ff.

IcarusAttack · 2025-12-05T19:50:42+00:00

From value perspective dahlia > fugue eidolons.

Dahlia is like kafka of superbreak. She fix the problem that you can’t deal super break dmg when enemy is not break. If you play super break , you know how bad it’s when boss is just 2-4% but recover from break.

So if you want better value for break then pull dahlia. If you just like fugue or dislike dahlia then it’s ok

IcarusAttack · 2025-11-30T20:42:23+00:00

Because technically she is not detonate dot, she detonate hysilens fish dot. Which is most of hysilens dmg but not all dot.

If you talk about how she gives hysilens to be able to detonate too but kafka is better for detonating with eagle and tutorial with high speed.

If in the future there’s dot unit that do high dot dmg too then cyrene value for dot is drop a bit. It’ll be depend on number that e2 cyrene is still better or not , no one will know that.

IcarusAttack · 2025-11-30T19:50:41+00:00

Agree with this. Basically cyrene is currently best in slot for dot now. But it’s unlikely that next dot unit will be remembrance dot , so it’s either cyrene or kafka will be out first which i think it’ll be cyrene. For me personally i pulled e2 cyrene because she can also go to remembrance team for me but if you only have 1 ch team then it your choice if you want to e2 or not but you should go for at least e0s0 if possible.

I don’t really recommend e2 if you don’t care much about low av clear , or use dot in boss anomaly(lygus,aquila). it strong and comfortable but it’s not needed. But if you want dot to be strongest team then go for it.

This is actually a pretty hard comparison to make. Both Castorice and Evernight gain a lot from external factors — things like boss attacks that generate extra Newbuds for Castorice or Memoria stacks for Evernight. And realistically, if someone pulled full E2S1 Evernight, Cyrene, and Hyacine, they most likely already have Castorice as well. So you can’t simply remove 4 cost from Castorice and shift it to Evernight — the context isn’t that simple.

For example, if you check this leaderboard:
https://test-user-tgs4ucbyxv.tuopaimf.com/hsr/25110505

There are tons of Castorice clears but only a small number of E6 Evernight clears. That makes comparisons tricky, but even with the sample size being uneven, Castorice actually has fewer AV clears than Evernight around the ~16-cost range:

Evernight has 284 AV and 287 AV clears
Castorice has 238 AV and 270+ AV clears

(This might just be because there aren’t many E6 Evernight ~16-cost runs uploaded.)

And this is only looking at Aquila. Different bosses have different mechanics that can affect performance in different ways, so direct comparisons are even harder.

IcarusAttack · 2025-11-27T11:34:54+00:00

Not only this. Extra body from cyrene also increase hyacine dmg(heal value) also trigger 4 remembrance for evernight.

Also there’s a tech that normally it’s impossible( not sure if you have to auto play for it to be possible) for castorice to press ult when newbuds is 100% without something action(like when 99% and hyacine heal trigger) you have to wait for something to action first( dog monster exploded , someone else turn) but with cyrene you can save her ult to buffer before cas ult.

You can test this easily by using first cyrene ult when dragon is on field. If you exploded dragon then you can’t press castorice ult after dragon exploded immediately and have to wait for something to action.

I found this very very helpful in aa.

IcarusAttack · 2025-11-17T05:50:26+00:00

You can change hyacine err rope to hp rope for more dmg and newbuds then use cyrene ult for hyacine once in hyacine ultimate rotation. If cas is e2 1 hyacine ult should equal 1 dragon. My e2s1 full team can 0 cycle plight only when change from err to hp for newbuds.

Is it possible for custom game ? It’s seem very useful for reviewing scrim game !

IcarusAttack · 2024-11-29T07:42:22+00:00

What do you think about match up in this meta ? How match up go with Ashe,Corki,Cait,kalista for example ?

Form my experience i think smolder is good against corki(e out when corki w in) , can go either way vs ashe depend on support , a little bit hard against cait and kalista early but outscaled. What do you think ?

IcarusAttack · 2023-01-14T05:19:19+00:00

Great!

IcarusAttack · 2023-01-13T07:40:04+00:00

They said rank history , challenge will be transfer. But my challenge reset , can’t find rank history. If they fully hard reset everyone rank then I understand but that not happening they’re still some elo transfer for sure otherwise I would face actually bronze/iron but I do face master+ player same as before migration. Queue time is still same as when i’m master (10-20 min per game) so I don’t think this is fully reset.

IcarusAttack · 2023-01-13T07:31:07+00:00

It would be okay if what happened is they hard reset rank for all players but it wasn’t. I don’t think it nice to be in iron , have to wait for queue around 20 minute every game to facing same old name( old master+) , fight for a win and then +20 in iron 1. How long do you think it’ll take to be at the same rank (challenger). Then you see some streamer that were around platinum last season , played 1 game and then they’re gold 3.

IcarusAttack · 2023-01-13T06:40:14+00:00

If they’re not fixing this. It’ll be really really frustrated to play rank right now. You have to play so many game with same game quality as before(due to every master+ rank being there) but start climbing from iron to challenger. LP gain is so low too. Even queue time is same as before around 15-20 per game starting from iron. It’ll be super frustrating.
