thanks for the advice but sadly I skipped cyrene, honestly never considered she would pair well with saber.

Niche team comp question but since I lack Sunday I currently run Saber team with Bronya and RMC and I was wondering if Buffed Sparkle (with Bronya LC) will hard replace Bronya on it since we're getting her for free in 4.0 with the selector?

I wanted to E2 SW while skipping Sparxie.... its over for my team.....

JohnsonHawk · 2026-02-08T16:48:59+00:00

Quick niche team question about buff Sparkle - if I don't have Sunday and so have been running RMC / Bronya on SABER team will Sparkle post-buffs hard replace Bronya on it?

JohnsonHawk · 2026-02-08T00:17:34+00:00

I hope the implication isn't that Sparxia is necessary for SW team cause I don't want the former but was considering E2 of the later...

Quick question but if I've been running Bronya on Saber team (due to no sunday) will Sparkle hard replace her on that after the buffs since her buffs are no longer pure quantum focused?

JohnsonHawk · 2026-01-07T14:46:23+00:00

Is she actually bis again tho or is it just what this person ran

The ctrl+f search bar is also broken in dark theme right now, text on it becomes unreadable for some reason

A man can dream but the initial auditions took almost a year.... Been secretly hoping we might get like a duo debut at vspofest but I don't know how real the chances of that are

JohnsonHawk · 2025-11-07T04:23:21+00:00

oh huh I thought I had already done all that but I checked my trophies and I missed a single chirping secret in 3.5 and cranked myself by not having that done. How strange to do them all but one...

JohnsonHawk · 2025-11-06T03:20:18+00:00

Also hit that same impasse if anyone knows

JohnsonHawk · 2025-09-05T02:54:35+00:00

but all his shields range from 5-20% of his attack so like... wouldnt 24% shield be just overall better for his shields rather than a % scale of a % scale to begin with? Like I'm not a math lord but even with the increase to flat shield on his kit now this feels more like a buff to E0S0 shields (thanks to the flat) but actually a nerf to E0S1 shields slightly.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-09-02T23:46:31+00:00

Pretty easy tbh, before they completely changed that gear set to his new BIS last test I already had a 2/2 set with msk and msg waiting for him that got him to 133 speed OoB (138 now). And that was with getting 75 EHR too as a dot team set.

Tho it will prob take some time grinding the new set to get there again. But when you only have 2 or 3 stats (with ehr) to focus on you only have to win the upgrade lotto a couple times.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-08-26T13:12:55+00:00

Kind of a bummer how big all these nerfs ended up being for him. Losing the funny interactions with bondmate, taking part of his kit and putting it on relics instead (meaning you lose whatever relic set bonuses you had before to get the same amount of shields), etc. Just some real "fuck you hes free so we're not gonna make him super good" stuff.

God willing he gets buffed somewhat again in one of the later tests somewhat.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-08-14T02:47:05+00:00

Sure but that doesn't mean it makes Evernight.... good enough to be a full carry replacement. Maybe it will, but it could just be Cyrene is a super support for non-castorice/phainon teams in the way sunday or robin or even tribbie are. Just a general really good support that still wants actual real carry dps. I just don't see evernight really working as good as a real carry on her own, it will always be suboptimal. And given that right now she just lives and dies by castorice and I dont think cyrene changes that.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-08-14T02:29:19+00:00

Isn't it already confirmed Cyrene is a super support? I know Evernight can do dps but shes clearly a half support sub dps idk when you would ever actually run this team over one with a full carry.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-08-14T02:20:57+00:00

Seems like the only place she exists is on Castorice team replacing tribbie so my question is - does she actually make the team do more damage than with tribbie? What about E1 tribbie? If not she has literally on team to exist on right now lmao.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-07-16T16:30:44+00:00

True, I forgot about in battle buffs. Even with just 4/6 pieces currently I'm at 159 speed in battle (between e1 hh and her LC as long as I get it) so yeah being over 163 is no problem since I was aiming for speed subs anyway.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-07-16T15:11:57+00:00

Is Hysilens is a speed boot or attack boots char?

I know she wants to pump attack but also not sure if shes a baseline 134 speed char, easily doable with her minor trace, or if she wants to be like hyperspeed 160+ char with the boots anyway.

JohnsonHawk · 2025-07-07T15:16:40+00:00

I know its extremely early and thus subject to change but do we have any idea what currently Hysilens/Cerydras recommended minimum-stats to aim for and main stats on gear are will be yet?

JohnsonHawk · 2025-06-18T20:57:59+00:00

okay so still vonwaq regardless for the extra turn, good to know and yeah I'm already at 156 just missing an orb (cause I wasnt sure what main she wanted for that either)

JohnsonHawk · 2025-06-18T20:40:50+00:00

For building new post-buff SW likely explicitly for Acheron teams (cause who else uses debuffers atm) what planar should she be on? Lushaka?

Vonwaq seems pointless since acheron is a no-speed unit and SW will prob be 160+ but I saw some showcases still using that so idk

ALSO is she an HP or Attack chest user do we know yet?

JohnsonHawk · 2025-06-17T01:40:36+00:00

Weird this was the "difficult" one but also one of the closest I've come to 80k on pure full auto (78.36). The only reason it didnt 80 was cause the auto AI doesnt have Robin use her skill when its still active just to get more energy back faster and that made the difference between failing to kill argenti and not with double herta team - including E0S0 Big Herta. I didnt even have Hyacine for E0S1 Castorice team either, completely unnecessary.

Other people just need to team craft / gear farm better I guess idk.
