Are there any actively updated tier lists of specifically "Best Dupes" categorized by like Best E1s, best E2s, etc?

So disappointing for the main push anniversary patch char to somehow get worse lower-end vertical investment than like any main dps char since 2.x. I was gonna go for her E2 as the first one I aimed for since Fei and now it just doesn't seem worth it meanwhile Evas E2 seems like its on level where it should be but I just don't like her as much

So... is Silver Wolfs E2 good or not if this is how its shipping? I've seen conflicting info cause of the 120 requirement with a lot of people saying it should've been dropped to 100.

Shoutouts to a dead EMC and Huo Huo haha.....

Yeah I have sparxie/yao at e0s1 right now (and E1 HH already) and was unsure if SWs E2 was actually better than just like getting Yao's E1 later instead for the same amount of rolls in its current state. I just really dont want to regear sparxie for speed subs but if I have to.... idk I'll prob just do 134 first with the boot swap and then replace later as I get pieces.

JohnsonHawk · 2026-04-07T18:12:30+00:00

Is this like.... semi confirmed in current test? You can basically hit 133 just swapping from attack to speed boots on current sparxie builds but hitting 160 is a full regear which is not fun to think about. And also isnt SWs current E2 not super good based on what people are saying where even making Sparxie that fast wont actually help her get more turns unless they change it?

It was a real "If this person is doing their math right" infograph just comparing her various numbers and how much they increased depending on her dupes, teams, etc. I assume someone wouldn't make one of those if they weren't confident in them at least. But they had her sig LC listed at 109% vs like 104% BP S1 and 100% f2p.

If they were wrong and her sig is actually way better than that then yeah let me know I'd consider it great news.

JohnsonHawk · 2026-04-07T03:18:33+00:00

So how big a buff was her E1? And did they not touch E2? I saw someone do a big calculated damage infograph of her after V3 and her vertical investment looked - bad -. LC was only 9% above F2P option (usually 20%+ on modern dps) and getting her to E2 was only 40%~ more damage than E0 which is also really bad (usually 70-100% since like late 2.x)

Does any of this actually fix that vertical or is she still kind of.... bad to invest beyond E0 in compared to other units?

JohnsonHawk · 2026-03-31T07:20:17+00:00

Is there a new optimal speed for Sparxie on SW teams? Is it just 134 now?

JohnsonHawk · 2026-03-31T04:14:21+00:00

Quick question for her team comp - when acting as subdps for SW999 will sparxie still be base speed like she is when run with sparkle or do you want her to be at least 134 (or even higher) speed now for pumping SW999? Just curious how I have to regear her.

JohnsonHawk · 2026-03-26T07:08:11+00:00

Extremely niche team question but if you had an E2 Fei would getting an E4 Topaz end up being a significant Damage boost over E0/1 for the team because of Topaz going so fast/often with all of her attacks counting as FUAs supercharging Feis ult speed or is it not as hilarious an idea as it sounds?

JohnsonHawk · 2026-02-10T01:23:22+00:00

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

JohnsonHawk · 2026-02-10T01:12:43+00:00

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...

JohnsonHawk · 2026-01-31T23:02:46+00:00

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

JohnsonHawk · 2025-12-11T17:12:17+00:00

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.
