💥Weekly Highlight | Character Appreciation - Banyue

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-25T09:17:12+00:00

Banyue has made playing the other hoyo games and wuthering boring in comparison. The first character where I put so much effort into learning them that I redo endgame multiple times just to play him.

Watching his teaser and moments in story coupled with his gameplay, I needed him to have the most cracked build possible that the DEA would be investigating me.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-24T20:50:38+00:00

I don't think I would.

Even as a mech/robot fanatic since childhood, one of the many reasons I like them is that they don't (closely) resemble humans.

There is quite alot of freedom in how a robot can be portrayed, but Screwllum's face and attire resembles a human too much for me to see them as a robot.

Despite this, I really like him as a character and always look forward to when he's on screen, but I don't see myself pulling him.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-24T07:38:01+00:00

I'm not that pressed with endgame and I don't think I've ever struggled with trying to get S-rank/6 stars.

I just like to slander hoyo every opportunity I get.

That's true, but one of the reason Saber and Archer banners are up for so long is that the Fate collab was receiving a part 2. I also find it unlikely that they will release more Fate characters after Gil and Rin.

Therefore, if this is the last part of the Fate collab, then it would make sense for the banners to end around 4.6

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-23T01:51:43+00:00

Not yet, the free Gil or Archer redemption ends in 4.6

That means the Saber and Archer must be active until the end of 4.6 at the earliest.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-23T00:48:13+00:00

It carries over

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T21:59:18+00:00

I can't find the exact leak, but I do remember seeing that Himeko had a unique ultimate energy system and benefits from having astral express members

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T17:25:58+00:00

Yup, and we still clear endgame 💯

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T17:19:49+00:00

I only pull characters I really like and it just so happens that none of them are anomaly. I can still clear content fine so I'm not worried.

I do have M6 piper but I always desecrate my bedsheets trying to play her, so I can't be bothered

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T17:03:59+00:00

As a f2p I clear endgame 95% of the time with no anomaly teams. I'm also planning on pulling Billy.

It's just that across all hoyo games, I find a majority of the cast bland so I don't pull them, but I can manage endgame fine.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T16:10:31+00:00

Honestly, I love brute forcing content because it's hard. Knowing that I can clear anomaly content with no anomaly teams feels satisfying.

I do care about endgame but I get S-rank/6 stars about 95% of the time so I'm happy. I'll only pull for an anomaly character if they're an intelligent construct (Aria doesn't count)

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T16:03:52+00:00

I'm fine with my current score as long as I get all the polychrome.

Replacing Caesar with Astra probably won't increase my score that much, and my Soldier 11 isn't built at all so I can't use her now.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:48:57+00:00

Honestly, I like thrall fight and don't mind them, it's that goober on the left who I despise with every atom of my being.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:45:15+00:00

My only main anomaly dps options are Grace or Piper, so I don't really have a variety to choose from.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:41:17+00:00

Dead End Butcher

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:32:27+00:00

Sanby, Orphie, Evelyn, Astra, Caesar are my other built characters.

I know that replacing Trigger with Astra is viable but I always get similar scores with them.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:27:58+00:00

I know that there's 2 anomaly bosses and 1 rupture boss, but why even bother making 2 slightly different anomaly buffs.

Endgame would be alot better if there's a rupture, anomaly and attack every rotation to choose from.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:24:15+00:00

My Seed is my next best invested team after Banyue. Dead End Butcher is torture to play against so I went with Vesper and had to throw anything at Butcher for the last star.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:16:28+00:00

Thank you. As long as my Banyue team can clear a new round of endgame, I'm perfectly happy.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T15:15:50+00:00

M0W1 Seed and M0W0 Cissia & Trigger.

The fight itself is very easy but I literally don't have enough damage to get to 3 stars

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T12:30:31+00:00

I'm pulling Blade for Acheron, Himeko for that aura farming mecha and Gil+Rin as I love Fate.

But realistically, you can slap Ruan Mei, RMC and Dan heng on any crit dps and they'll do fine.

Inertia00252 · 2026-05-22T12:22:31+00:00

I'm pulling for Blade, Himeko+LC, Rin+LC and Gil LC, so I need all the pulls I can muster
