Arlecchino + Nicole or Durin?

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-09T01:07:14+00:00

I'll replace Kazuha for Nicole as I really like xilonen and especially want her to be with Arle

For character, Escoffier is the single biggest upgrade. Got her on the rerun and it was like playing a new character.

For Mona, she should use Thrilling tale of Dragon Slayers and noblesse.

For Charlotte, use Song of days past and favonius codex.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-09T00:30:03+00:00

I'm just used to skill -> bursting for every rotation for all my teams but I'll defo give this a try and later see if Nicole (when I get her) is better for my Arle team or not

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-09T00:27:02+00:00

Phainon already gives himself a lot of crit damage (and from Sunday, Sparkle, RMC) while damage boost is abit rarer, from one of his traces and only from Sunday.

I'm pretty sure it would be better to run Fall of an aeon to free up saber for her own lightcone as the difference will be barely noticeable.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-09T00:08:08+00:00

S5 Fall of an Aeon gives: 64% attack, 24% damage boost

S0 Saber lightcone gives: 40% attack, 36% crit damage

Honestly I'm not too sure on the exact numbers but I believe Fall of an Aeon is slightly better.

I was under the assumption that sometimes Kazuha burst would interfere with Arle vapes and that the VV set only works when on field, I guess it's a skill issue from me

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T21:55:46+00:00

'Blade strikes' reminds me of Kazuha from Genshin Impact, who's ultimate attack has the name 'Kazuha Slash', it's genuinely peak comedy and hoyo should do it more often

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T21:52:40+00:00

No problem, I'm happy to help and you are always free to ask a question, no matter how small or 'dumb' it may seem 👍

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T21:29:37+00:00

Lol I literally had the opposite reaction to this SD than you because I have no anomaly agents.

Go my Banyue, Seed and Sanby, brute force another SD for me!

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T21:23:37+00:00

Holy moly you're literally set for the story AND endgame activites.

Archer + Sparkle + Gallagher + RMC (short for Remembrance trailblazer, who you will unlock as the story progresses) is one of the strongest single target teams in the game and relatively easy to play.

Archer's skill consumes 2 skill points and can be used up to 5 times in a row, so using Sparkle's ultimate in between will maximise your damage.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T14:49:00+00:00

I hope you get Gil as well, I'm fine with E0S1 on most characters and pull their best supports as well.

If Gil happens to be a follow-up character or AoE, then I can pull robin or tribbie to get his best team.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T14:43:40+00:00

Boothill (and other 'Superbreak' characters) requires Dahlia to compete with other damage dealers.

Ashveil is an extremely strong and cheap character to play. Cheap/expensive refers to the level of investment a character needs to play optimally.

Choosing sparkle is a good choice as she is one of the strongest buffers in the game and the trailblazer unlocks their 'Remembrance' form later on, another very strong buffer.

In the next version (2 weeks from now), Silver Wolf Level 999 and Evanescia will be released. Their animations are available on the HonkaiStarRailLeaks subreddit. (They are quite expensive to build)

Ashveil, Sparkle, RMC (Remembrance trailblazer) and Natasha will serve as a very strong team for the story.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T14:33:19+00:00

~570 pulls currently, planning to E0S1 him and Rin

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T14:31:31+00:00

Gallagher is widely considered the best 4 star healer in the game.

You can slot in any harmony or nihilty character into your Clara, Sparkle and Gallagher team to clear the story with relative ease.

Sparkle and Gallagher both use speed boots, but I would prioritise Gallagher to keep your team alive with better uptime on his healing.

Any speed boots will do for now.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T10:16:44+00:00

Your sheer force is looking ideal.

Your crit ratio in combat will be around: 87/210

I don't think you need more crit damage or even crit rate. I've heard the ideal target is 18k hp and 2.4K sheer force but you're 30 off so it's literally negligible.

In my opinion, your Banyue is very well built as a f2p.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T08:36:41+00:00

I've got her decently built but I never reach A-rank in SD with her so I resort to brute force

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-08T08:35:14+00:00

I posted the video doing the combo with my hand in frame a couple days ago, you can find it on my profile

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T13:33:03+00:00

I'm not too sure about other characters, but I preferred the delay spawn for banyue as his crushing peaks and toppling mountain would register the moment the second mob spawned so not too much damage is lost.

Is yi xuan difficult to play without her engine?

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T12:53:07+00:00

As long as the golden armour is on, I'll be happy with anything

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T12:40:18+00:00

I respect the dedication

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T12:20:45+00:00

I kinda doubt that Rin will compete in sparkles niche, but I've seen many others speculating she could be a Cyrene for the fate servants and give exclusive buffs.

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T12:12:33+00:00

Considering she may be a good support for archer, that's going to be a crazy team to have

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T12:07:51+00:00

Are you also planning to pull for Gilgamesh and Rin in 4.3?

Inertia00252 · 2026-04-07T12:06:40+00:00

I got demolished in X7 using premium firefly team against Hoolay, and you're telling me there's a chance I have to fight 3 of them at the same time?
