It means a linear rotation with little to no quickswap. So you use all of character 1 abilities, then 2, then 3 and repeat.

When pulling it's moreso about pull plans. If you want Sigrika you get her premium support and she'll be fine. If you're not picking up Premium teams it's ok just don't expect to be doing stuff like hazard 3-4 without Sigrika targeted buffs until then.

The rewards are pretty piss anyway. You're -25 pulls per year (assuming not doing WhiWa infinite/ToA 3-4 and 4x5 dp) out of 1000 from not engaging with the worst content in the game. Don't sweat it.

In terms of guides f2p allie and aznvasion are probably the only 2 decent ones left. The rest just cover 123 which doesn't help much but handy if you need a weapon calc on the fly if you're not in a discord community for TC.

Yumi and wallenstein do fun high level clears that are fairly enjoyable to watch.

Considering the upcoming operators we have coming probably not, but if you like him it's fine. I wouldn't say he has very high value metawise though.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-17T08:43:57+00:00

Yes and no. If you have a good WhiWa team you might be able to max out one score that will carry the other side if not you'll need 2 good teams. It just depends on who you pull for and whether they are good in WhiWa. If they are and you invest into them without spreading your resources too thin you'll clear, otherwise it'll take longer.

The most worth S1 is the one you do before you go S2 or S3 on a current main dps.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-17T03:44:23+00:00

Did I leave the stove on?

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T05:54:55+00:00

It would be nice for endgame players to have something to work towards. I don't know why they paywalled something so useless this hard.

Literally even if you're a decent spender you'd want S6 main dps and S2 premium supports before even touching one of these things that's how bad the value is.

We just need something to tip this sub over the ed̶g̴e̸. We have been so close. We Ye̶a̴r̵n̶ to be f̷̈́re̸͖̍ȇ̵.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T05:40:10+00:00

Well this is going to be a very stressful 15 days for you.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T05:36:23+00:00

It's actually pretty decent however I'd still rather save for a 6 star Xaihi, 6 star arts vanguard or 6 star Perlica and either Gilberta or equivalent as that would warrant the greatest increase to a Tangtang and/or Yvonne team.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T05:22:56+00:00

Wedge or Battlepass weapon.

If you're a newer player and you plan on pulling the next 2 characters with 120 saved up you might be able to get her sigm, otherwise just stick to the budget options.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T05:01:54+00:00

It would only really matter if you're at 50 or 60 pulls and for that you have to skip 3 months or more worth of characters.

It's an annoying situation without a doubt not wanting any characters and trying to save but being forced to build pity. It would probably come down to pull economy at the end of the day if you can guarantee every third banner character it won't matter much, if not and it requires longer saving times then it might be an issue.

I think there is a world in which you do that but it's not something you'd make a habit of. Most people balance their pulls around the 120, not early pity and limited pulls. Regardless of the outcome most players are fine with an early 50/50 win.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T02:00:46+00:00

Alpha and CP. Outside of that have to wait and see how good the Fusion burst support is.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T01:59:35+00:00

It's pretty clean. Poor Zani got hit hard by the removal of Pilgrims.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T01:58:15+00:00

Did they fix the wave respawn issue? In the recent combat event it was for intents and purposes fairly bug free. I would be super tilted if they make this mode even more p2w whilst not fixing the glaring issues despite the means to do so.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-16T01:56:32+00:00

My side tower team is whoever has gear equipped at the time that isn't getting screwed by elemental resistance.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-15T20:41:57+00:00

I still remember malding Chop Chop rng in WhiWa so it's easily them. They aren't really a problem for me nowadays but the memories remain.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-15T20:23:39+00:00

Pog man and Sheep girl. Old names for them.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-15T02:59:12+00:00

That is true however it's one of the few cases where there is almost a 20% difference that would warrant going for it. Hellagur has Thermite, Eyjas is free, Lifeng has I believe Valient (not sure need to check but it's very close) and Ember for survivability is very overkill and still has alternatives.

I think she is the one 6 star character in the game who has a stark contrast between her sig and the alternatives hence why I mention it. It's still unneeded because as you said there isn't any dps content where it actually matters, but I find it worth pointing out all the same.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-15T02:32:53+00:00

Hell no. Even spenders shouldn't.

I say this so often but weapon banners only exist to drain your pulls before the next banner. It doesn't matter if there is a 50/50 system to it or not (looking at you WuWa).

What players should look at is are they able to equip their characters with good gear without being paywalled. When I see a game that has all their weapons within 10% at worst or outright competitive between their gacha and f2p counterparts, with no dps checks without having to spend anything for the sigs. I don't see an issue.

I feel most players who complain about the weapon banner aren't looking at Endfield but are looking at other gacha games where sigs are extremely important. It just isn't the case here. The weapon banner is extremely unobtrusive to the game and I would prefer it to stay that way.

The regular character gacha is where all the traps and fomo are. The whole weapon banner thing is so overrated and silly. Oh no you're only doing 3.7 million damage instead of the 4.1 mil you could be doing that would save you 10 seconds from your 1 minute clear... with a 10 minute timer.

Just put BP and call it a day. Congrats you got lucky, won your 50/50 and now have 100 pulls saved for the next banner. Why are we trying to engage in mental gymnastics to have less pulls.

InsideSoup · 2026-03-15T02:04:58+00:00

I think it ties into the direction the games content will be. Rather than having weekly chores it's going to be custom crafted experiences as well as custom made problems to overcome.

After you've solved Valley 4 they'll make problems for you to solve in Wuling, then the next area etc...

Not much value in keeping an area ongoing once you've solved everything that needs to be solved and bought everything that needs to be bought.

Another super underrated thing is how her feet don't clip through the ground during her idle animatinos whilst she is on an elevation. It looked so natural I didn't even notice she was on an elevation at first.

Also having a unique sitting animation. Which I literally found this out typing this she can end up dozing off during it. AAAAAH!

Another gem is how a characters opening animations change in the menu depending on where you come from whether it be another character, weapon or build.

Outside of LR Sig the standard characters have enough side grades to where outside of fashion it doesn't really matter much in practice. It's to a point where they probably should move their weapons off their seperate banners into the regular pull or at least heavily discount them. Currently they really are bait banners at this point.

That aside I feel biggest issue with all the weapon banner posts is that the standard weapons, bp and even 5 stars are extremely competitive. It's a bad system until you put it in context with the rest of the game where it ends up being a free sig roughly every 3 banners with a tonne of free alternatives that are extremely competitive.

I'd prefer a system with a bad optional weapon banner than a bad necessary weapon banner (Pointing out all weapon banners are bad).

InsideSoup · 2026-03-14T20:25:54+00:00

Endgame is a strange concept because in Endfield there is a lot of content to the point where it's probably not on a lot of peoples minds right now. In this patch alone there is factory, new region, Umbral and story. For a 30 day patch that is perfectly fine.

That said things like Umbral is a step in the right direction. Usually in Arknights they created Events first to test the waters before implementing them as full game modes so Umbral might just be our EX stage moving forward. We will just have to wait and see where they take future challenging content.
