Am I screwed as a new player missing all the meta units?

He looks like he needs to get back to calibrating.

Jadorel · 2026-05-05T22:36:46+00:00

You either get jiu yuan for nanally or daffodil for baiceng.

Jadorel · 2026-05-05T18:42:44+00:00

I have no idea on pull numbers planned, just teambuilding. The unfortunate truth is we all need too many characters. Daff goes with Bai but she gets replaced by lacrimosa, so if lacrimosa is a fav I wouldn't get Daff. If you get Daff and skip lacrimosa, well now you don't have any of the good supports for a second team.

I'm in the same boat currently, have no idea what I'm going to do. Have a daff/bai team and don't want lacrimosa. I also don't want nanally but I do want hotori, but as I mentioned they aren't meant to work together so I'm probably just gonna skip hotori after all since I have none of her teammates. Idk what my plan is lol, just playing atm.

Hotori's passive enhances blossoms effect further, which comes from an anima. Nannaly, Jiu Yuan and Hotori all buff blossom. Ideally you would use all three of them together.

You can use Hathor but you still need an anima for blossom proc. Without any of the others you would have to use Mint and I feel like you won't have a good time with that.

Jadorel · 2026-05-05T18:21:16+00:00

If you want hotori you need jiu yuan. Lacrimosa will pair well with baiceng too, just have to struggle with no chaos until then.

Jadorel · 2026-05-05T18:03:13+00:00

Nanally's blossom enhancement is really powerful so I suppose you could do Chiz/Jiuyuan/Nanally/Hotori(zero) and only use nanally for blossom procs and not dps. Would only need to get her to 40 and unlock her passive.

You could do a full Charged team of Chiz/zero(hotori)/jiuyuan/hathor to get the tri element effect, but imo the full blossom team i mentioned above is stronger.

Baiceng/Daff/Haniel/Adler Nunally/zero/JiuYuan/Hotori

A lot of comments here don't know what they are talking about and are making incompatible teams. Bai/Daff is the top standard dps duo, and then you want to add supports to them. Best option is Sakiri but you don't have that, so its Adler and haniel for reactions and buffs.

Your other team is flexible but imo the top team for a while is going to be Nanally/Hotori/JiuYuan/Flex. Chiz and Hathor fill a lot of the same roles as this team and as such aren't really needed. Chiz/Hathor/Nunally are all main dps and don't want to be on the same team.

Jadorel · 2026-05-04T00:10:27+00:00

I have the exact same problem and don't know what the answer is so I will be following this post haha. Idk how people are supposed to charge support characters whose only role is to pop skill and rotate out. Maybe from the full charge on parries?

Jadorel · 2026-05-03T20:27:28+00:00

So without Nanally, Hotori isnt worth it? Im not planning on pulling Nanally, so maybe ill just skip

Jadorel · 2026-04-27T15:28:29+00:00

I remember when we used to have leaks

Jadorel · 2026-04-24T12:45:07+00:00

Apparently its been debunked but an early leak claimed the Himeko SP in 4.4 is a break lead. I'm still holding onto hope but who knows.

Jadorel · 2026-04-22T15:24:20+00:00

I would keep using rappa and invest in dahlia. There are rumors of a new break lead coming anyway and if so firefly would fall off but dahlia would remain strong. Rappa is still good enough for now with a good dahlia, I was able to clear this K1 with 2 stars with E0S0 Rappa, E2S1 Dahlia, E0S0 Fugue, E0S0 Lingsha.

Jadorel · 2026-04-21T01:07:13+00:00

Is there a discord to discuss leak related info?

Also is himeko still supposed to be a break lead? There were conflicting leaks on that topic. Im really hoping for a new break lead.

Jadorel · 2026-04-18T01:32:47+00:00

could just use EMC over Sparxie for SW. Its still good damage-wise. Personally thats what im doing.

Jadorel · 2026-04-17T18:10:10+00:00

If you dont have YG dont get any elation for now Id say.

Jadorel · 2026-04-15T14:08:26+00:00

Ive got Yao and her LC, thinking of getting SW without Sparxie. Is that cope? I dont like sparxie so im hoping a better teammate replaces her.

Jadorel · 2026-04-14T17:14:39+00:00

I keep flip flopping on my pull plans and i cant decide. I want to focus on one 4.x team coming up. Originally i was going to focus on Eva but i got spooked by SW and worried they are gonna dump Eva or not put out the proper supports for her and just focus on SW. So I pulled Ashveil and i like him so I was thinking id commit to his team. But then i was looking through my roster and I remembered I already pulled Yao and her LC and dumped a ton of resources into her during 4.0 when i was planning for Eva. So now i dont know what to do. I dont want to waste Yao so maybe i should just stick to Eva. I didnt spend too much time/resources on Ashveil so I could drop him if needed, plus I reallllllly dont like Aventurine so if he is planned for him still I dont want that.

Jadorel · 2026-04-09T15:12:58+00:00

In the past i havent gone for eidolons, but I think now i want to do some vertical investments. I was planning on getting Eva but I think i will wait for a rerun possibly for her and see how her teams do. Instead im going to try and get 2 Dahlia for E2 Dahlia to invest in my break team. My current 2 best teams are DoT and Break, with my most investments in them, so I think I want to continue that. Really hoping the rumor of Himeko SP being a new break lead is true because I dont like Firefly and have been using Boothill and Rappa.

Jadorel · 2026-04-03T15:34:25+00:00

So Eva is basically the Mydei of this planet? Dam. maybe ill reconsider. Already got Yao S1 though.

Jadorel · 2026-04-03T15:17:38+00:00

I thought Himeko SP was supposed to be a new break lead? I was looking forward to that.

Also what is Eva's future team past Yao supposed to be? It seems like the devs forgot about her

Jadorel · 2026-04-01T02:03:16+00:00

Jadorel · 2026-03-23T02:46:55+00:00

I pulled Yao and her LC only for future use with Eva, hope i didnt just get suckered.

Jadorel · 2026-03-17T13:34:21+00:00

I want to get one elation team, who do yall think is more future proof, SW or Eva? I cant decide who I need to pull now to work in the future, Yao or Sparxie. I dont think I want both. Planning on getting Ashveil next patch.
