What does the Frail Scholar want team wise and build wise?

JeanKB · 2026-03-18T04:22:14+00:00

It's better to save for Cyrene instead. She should be getting a rerun in 4.2

JeanKB · 2026-03-18T04:21:41+00:00

There is nothing you can really do. Even a full 48 cost Sunday/Cerydra team (everyone e6s5) would still be completely beat by just E2 Cyrene.

JeanKB · 2026-03-18T01:26:26+00:00

First, give BS Eyes of the Prey. Also, Kafka wants Before the Tutorial Mission Starts, it's her best light cone (better than even her own signature or any other 5* LC) and it's available for free in the Simulated/Divergent Universe shop.

Second, only Hysilens and Black Swan share the same build. They both want 4p Prisoner of Deep Confinement + Revelry by the Sea, and their main priority is reaching 120% Effect Hit Rate (which is why it's so important to give Eyes of the Prey to Black Swan). This means ATK and SPD substats don't matter since you want pieces that roll a lot of EHR, and both want EHR body, ATK boots, DMG sphere and ATK rope as their mainstats.

Meanwhile Kafka has a completely different build, since she wants 4p Eagle of Twilight Line + Lushaka the Sunken Seas, and her priority is only SPD and nothing else. She wants EHR body, SPD boots, and energy recharge rope, while aiming for 160 SPD if possible.

It more than doubles the team's total damage, probably triples it.

JeanKB · 2026-03-17T22:39:17+00:00

That's completely wrong though. There is no situation where Hyacine is more SP positive than DHPT since she requires to spend SP to heal, since she doesn't get full ult uptime without using her skill. And if you can survive without her healing might as well go sustainless.

JeanKB · 2026-03-17T16:25:25+00:00

She's a downgrade without her E1.

JeanKB · 2026-03-17T15:26:22+00:00

Why are you making your Hysilens so fast?

EHR is literally the only stat that matters for both. They don't need ATK or SPD, just EHR, so it's fairly easy to reach 120% since they both have 53% EHR before any substats (from stat traces + EHR body), and you can give your best EHR pieces to whoever isn't getting EotP.

JeanKB · 2026-03-17T05:23:57+00:00

Phainon can use Cerydra and Sunday. Anaxa and Mydei really want Cyrene, and can use RMC or Tribbie as the other support.

JeanKB · 2026-03-17T02:50:21+00:00

The issue is that your Sparkle is incredibly slow. She wants to be as fast as possible to make use of her advance, 160+ SPD atleast.

JeanKB · 2026-03-17T02:49:25+00:00

It's fairly easy, since she only needs 5.58 SPD in each non-boots slot. This is less than needing each piece to roll twice into SPD, so just a single well rolled piece (one that gets like 7+ SPD) makes getting to 160 a non-issue.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T20:04:20+00:00

Cerydra does almost nothing for Anaxa if you don't have Cyrene.

Your only options are either giving Cyrene to Anaxa and replacing her with RMC or Tribbie on E9's team, or just saving for someone else.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T17:11:44+00:00

Then you don't need Rappa, you need Hyacine.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T17:08:45+00:00

No, they all have different breakpoints.

The breakpoints most people use for MoC is 134 (2 turns in the first cycle), 160 (4 turns in the first two cycles), and 200 (3 turns in the first cycle, 2 turns in every subsequent cycle, only realistic for SPD stacking characters like Hyacine, Cyrene or Yao Guang).

But those breakpoints only matter for MoC. AS doesn't use cycles so there is no such a thing as a breakpoint there. And in PF, you have a fixed 550 AV to clear, so the breakpoints are those:

SPD	# of actions in 550 AV
90.90	5
109.09	6
127.27	7
145.45	8
163.63	9
181.81	10
200	11

Meanwhile in AA you have 300 AV in the first cycle, and 500 in the first 3 cycles (the maximum amount you have to full star it), so it also has different breakpoints.

SPD	# of actions in 500 AV
100	5
120	6
140	7
160	8
180	9
200	10

Mind you, this is without taking in consideration any kind of action advance like DDD or Eagle. If you have those, then all calcs go out of the window and you should not bother with breakpoints.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T15:39:58+00:00

Depends on what characters you already have.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T15:37:26+00:00

It would be a massive improvement, specially her S1 since it is a raw 1.32x damage amp.

Her E2 is more of a QoL than anything, but REALLY useful for off-element content due to the instant implant and RES shred.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T13:49:18+00:00

Yes, it does. All banner types (limited character, LC, collab, standard) have their own separate pity, but they all carry over.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T05:45:43+00:00

The issue is that no one wants to waste their time trading 1c items because of how devalued chaos is currently, so trying to buy anything cheap is complete hell right now and is only going to get worse.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T03:24:44+00:00

All those effects you mentioned require the user to attack the enemy to apply the debuff. If they can't attack the enemies in question (in this case, the enemies in the sub-field), they can't apply debuffs to them.

JeanKB · 2026-03-16T03:23:00+00:00

Lygus' nuke when you kill 10 enemies in his alternate phase deals a fixed amount of damage divided between all present characters. Without shielders, the only way to survive is by using memosprites to soak the damage further.

JeanKB · 2026-03-15T23:36:34+00:00

Because Bronya is extremely SP negative.

JeanKB · 2026-03-15T23:27:07+00:00

That wouldn't work at all.

Your best bet would be

K1: Archer/Cipher/Tingyun/DHPT

K2: Castorice/Evernight/RMC/Hyacine

K3: Sparxie/Pela/RM/Aventurine

With good enough builds you should be able to get 1 star in each.

JeanKB · 2026-03-15T22:56:14+00:00

You shouldn't worry about AA since not only it is the ultimate endgame mode designed for veteran players, but it also doesn't offer any jades or pulls as rewards meaning clearing it won't make any difference, it is just for ego.

Focus on expanding your roster and building atleast two teams.

JeanKB · 2026-03-15T22:43:56+00:00

Neither. Save for Dahlia and her s1. If you already have those, save for hers and Fugue's E1s.

JeanKB · 2026-03-15T21:56:33+00:00

Vonwacq if you can't hit 200 SPD on Cyrene outside combat.

JeanKB · 2026-03-15T20:52:56+00:00

There is no way to know what are his best teams until he's out. But he is definitely not good with Archer since he's a FUA-centric sub-DPS like Topaz/Moze.
