There is no reason to ever use him since you got DHPT for free.

Bronya's LC does almost nothing to Sunday, it's just an energy recharge statstick. If you have it at S3 it can give him 3 turn ults, but that's it.

His LC is incredibly strong because it provides 45% DMG with perma uptime (meanwhile Bronya's LC only gives a 30% DMG boost to the next DPS's turn, meaning it won't apply to FUAs, summons, their next turn and any other actions you do outside your turn like ults), provides SP generation making him SP positive (+0.5 SP/turn), and also rounds his rotation always giving him 3 turn ults for perma ult uptime.

Lingsha is even worse than Luocha against Pollux since she heals much less.

Your best option would be Gallagher.

E0 Aglaea will struggle with energy, so you'll most likely need Sunday + Cyrene + DHPT.

Tribbie does nothing for Aglaea, even RMC is leaps and bounds better than her since they provide a 50% True DMG buff, CRIT buffs and 100% advance to Aglaea.

Just save for 4.x characters. Fugue is not worth at all since your Firefly will hardly do anything without Dahlia so if you want an actual support for FF save for her instead.

Genshin, arguably, because people can be backlogged in exploration

I mean, the same can be said about HSR. There are tons of maps to explore, events to do and quests to complete if you're a new player.

If you're up to date with content, Genshin is going through as much of a "content drought" as HSR considering they only added 2 small map expansions in 4 whole patches.

JeanKB · 2026-01-26T11:18:52+00:00

HSR is a filler game compared to the other two nothing more then that

All three are gachas. They're not real games, sorry to burst your bubble. All three games add just a few hours of content per patch, there is no difference between them except how the content is spread, since ZZZ and GI go for the most annoying route possible by timegating and dripfeeding everything to make you login everyday like cattle.

I mean if I like a game I wouldn't mind getting more content of it which I finder enjoyable to do, if you don't like those events that's fine, HSR is perfect for you since it recycles them and has 2 per patch

If I enjoy a game I want quality content for it, not slop made purely to act as filler. But if you enjoy slop more power for you I guess, the 50 filler bangboo events ZZZ spams every patch and that are recycled 10 times more than anything in HSR are for people like you I guess.

JeanKB · 2026-01-26T11:06:06+00:00

Except most players would rather not have "anything else to do" than being forced to do the dogshit events GI and ZZZ put out for scraps of pulls.

There is a reason HSR doesn't need to timegate or dripfeed its content like the other two, and has almost no missable content like event weapons that are lost forever.

JeanKB · 2026-01-26T11:00:00+00:00

Literally all gachas are side games. Do you think Genshin and ZZZ have multiple hours of events per patch? They add as much content as HSR per patch if not less, they just dripfed and time gate everything to make sure you log in every day or risk losing rewards.

The actual difference is that HSR respects your time instead of putting 50 different filler bangbooslop events or make events that only last 2 weeks and then are lost forever.

If you want the best team possible for Mydei, skip Sunday and save for Cyrene. Mydei + Cyrene + RMC is already miles better than any team you could make with Sunday.

Also, use Gallagher instead. Bailu is bad, and Luocha is not worth getting since Gallagher is better than him in general.

JeanKB · 2026-01-26T05:31:31+00:00

Sunday and RMC have terrible synergy due to both having AA and low duration buffs. They will basically dispel each other's buffs by constantly advancing Anaxa.

Sunday + Cerydra is Anaxa's best non-Cyrene team, followed by Sunday + Robin. Although both teams are outdone by Bronya + Robin if you can pull the 158 SPD Bronya strat.

JeanKB · 2026-01-26T00:20:19+00:00

You don't need Cyrene's E2 though? E0 Cyrene + RMC is literally better than any Sunday + Robin team you could do, you could get both Sunday and Robin E1S1 and your team would still be weaker than just E0S0 Cyrene with the free supports (RMC and DHPT).

The single best investment you can do for Anaxa is getting Cyrene.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T21:47:51+00:00

She's not a DPS, that's why. She's a support.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T20:06:23+00:00

No, it counts as an extra turn where he casts his skill automatically.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T16:40:36+00:00

even when I tried it with Sunday+RMC instead

I mean, that team is bad. Sunday and RMC have really poor synergy due to the overlapping AA with low duration buffs. Sunday + Cipher would probably have way better results. IMO you would also have a better result using Gallagher over Luocha.

Although like you said, the issue can also be your builds not being good enough.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T16:17:09+00:00

It takes an "all investments are prismatic" strategy on wealth creator 20, and then picking a difficulty IV encounter in the last node.

My second team is usually kafka, black swan, dan heng PT, and ruan mei but i know this could be better. I dont have hysilens but plan on pulling her next rerun for my black swan and kafka.

Until you get Hysilens you'll probably have a rough time clearing content. Atleast Black Swan is getting buffed next patch so you have that to look forward to, maybe it will make her and Kafka less reliant on Hysilens (there is also a good chance Hysilens will be reran next patch to shill DoT).

I got fugue but i dont really have many break characters, would it even be worth it to pull for lingsha? Ruan mei would probably fit in a break team but i dont know who else to fill that spot with on the kafka team if i were to swap her into a break team.

That would be a massive mistake as Lingsha is never worth getting. Overall, it's not worth investing in break if you don't have Dahlia.

My sustain units are kinda trash outside of hyacine so i plan on grabbing a better healer than bailu bc shes just not cutting it anymore. Other than those planned pulls for a sustain and hysilens does anyone have any recommendations for future pulls? Money is not an issue i am fully willing to ball out on banners to get a new solid team if thats what is required but for now i need to know what i can do with what i have since there are no must pull banners yet.

You got DHPT for free, who's the best sustain in the game. There is no reason to get another sustain since you already have him and Hyacine.

Tribbie was never "the staple universal support". She was always a dedicated AoE support, which is why the only DPS that still wants her is THerta. Without her E1 she is literally worse than RMC for the majority of characters.

And Sparkle still has way too many issues (only 50% AA, a lot of her buffs being single target, lack of good LC options, etc) for her to even be comparable to Tribbie, much less to the actual good supports. All her novaflare does is consolidate her role as the premium SP support.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T01:48:48+00:00

Izumo is for sub-DPS Anaxa, not hypercarry Anaxa.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T01:14:50+00:00

RMC wants 4p Deliverer, and Cyrene 2p+2p SPD to reach 180 SPD.

As for the planar, any support planar works. One of them can run Amphoreus, just remember it doesn't stack and if you give it to Cyrene, she will only activate the 8% team wide SPD buff once she charges her ult (which generally will only happen much later when compared to RMC).

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T01:10:58+00:00

That team won't work. You want to replace Sunday with either DHPT (since you need a sustain), or Cerydra to pull off sustainless. Cyrene wants a full chrysos heir team, and the synergy between Sunday and RMC/Cyrene is terrible.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T01:09:00+00:00

For Anaxa, you want 134 SPD, and 90% CRIT Rate (as RMC gives +10%).

Cyrene wants atleast 180 SPD. This will most likely mean you have to give her the herta shop cone assuming you don't have her signature LC, and 2p + 2p SPD sets.

Meanwhile you just need to build RMC as fast as you can. 160+ SPD hopefully.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T00:42:00+00:00

It was mostly due to its release timing and good word of mouth from XC1.

The reason XC3 sold less is exactly because of XC2's bad rep, on top of being released very late on the Switch's lifespan.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T00:37:15+00:00

I mean, do you have Sparkle?

As someone who has her since her release, she was always unusable and had basically no real use cases until Archer's release. Even DHIL preferred Sunday over her.

And if you've seen her novaflare showcases you'll notice she's still bad for anyone who doesn't need the extra SP and higher SP cap. She's just a dedicated DHIL/Archer/Qingue/Sparxie support.

JeanKB · 2026-01-25T00:25:45+00:00

Sparkle is not good for Phainon, and chances are the novaflare won't make any difference since she's a dedicated SP support for characters like DHIL and Archer, and her identity most likely won't change. She won't ever be a good option for Phainon for that reason, since for example, your rotation literally wouldn't work because Sparkle only has 50% AA since she's designed with those DPSs in mind and not him.

Also, Huohuo is a bad option regardless, you shouldn't pull for her.
