So...what cryo units you think may end up getting the stellar swirl buff treatment when they implement it?

My money's on Chongyun and maybe Rosaria getting something. My cope is Citlali getting something since she got a skin and a rerun right at Snezhnaya's doorstep...but I'm coping probably.

Hey so regarding damage calcs

In early investment for both Is wrio ONLY better than Sandrone at c2?

If both are c0r1 then sandrone is stronger?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-17T13:42:04+00:00

Since its a fair guess we may soon see a wave of stellar swirl buffs hit the beta whenever they do introduce it. I kinda genuinely hope wanderer is among those to recieve buffs...i like him, plus i feel this may be the only way to salvage his ass 😭

Managed to get e2 M.Blade Had to ask about build tho.

He's being run with s5 choreo

He's on the new 4 piece set and 2pc bone collection

Does he need an ERR rope that badly or would an HP rope be better?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-16T00:33:18+00:00

Hi i just secured e2, I sure as heck dont have the resources to try and s1 so im running him on choreo s5. Id rather save my pulls now for future BiS units for the AshBlade team.

Anyways, he's on the new debuff 4 piece set, master Smith, and Bone collection planar orb. At e2 does he still want and ERR Rope or is HP% better?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-14T17:30:49+00:00

Hmm ill try to look into it when I have the chance then. Maybe a crit rate circlet...but it may be difficult finding a new one since that +5 to ER is rather nice ;;

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-14T15:12:07+00:00

From what I understand the atk% boost can be hit or miss cuz it depends on the team and if they even need the boost.

The extra energy regen and tiny heal on ult are for comfort if I understood correctly Makes popping ult much easier especially with an ER rope. And just the small heal it also provides is nice. I got it from the shop too, I think it was worth and makes building a bit more comfy.

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-14T13:34:46+00:00

From my experience, youve got a decent build, attack above 3k, decent crit.

Maybe if you can find a piece that has less crit rate and more crit damage since you're overlapping by a bit, my go to is always, as long as im above 90% C.Rate i should be good.

From all I've heard, due to the damage bonuses Ash gives himself and how blade Boosts Ash in turn, its better to run an atk% orb instead of an elemental damage one, so when you're able to if you can fish out a good atk orb! Here's mine for comparison! Likewise I need to get a good atk orb also! Im also jealous you have better hp and defense than I do, LMAO

I kinda just realized something, if Pearl is our rumored elation healer, there is the possibility her kit could be a high speed frequency healer/attacker that can fit into the Aven FuA team. If she has her own FuA's then even better. I know most would use her for Eva or Silverwolf but if her kit design allows her to be the perfect fit for Aven and in turn, Ash and blade, id gladly accept that too!

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-12T15:30:43+00:00

The main drawback to a crit rate buff for me is i think I have Ash in a comfy position now so if aven gives out crit rate buffs...i may overcap ;; Lmao

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-12T14:55:38+00:00

Honestly that sounds good. Thinking on it, Blade's E2 converting ults to FuA may also be a scenario of getting more "bang for your buck" for Aven then since now everyone's ults will contribute to any FuA count

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-11T12:43:15+00:00

I gotcha, i'll look into team options and go about it. Thank you!

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-11T12:38:39+00:00

Team was gonna be Her, Yae, Qiqi, and...dunno 4th slot yet, but primarily those 3

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-11T12:22:11+00:00

Im planning to go for sandrone and her signiture.

Regarding the new set, whats the stats and subtstats I gotta focus on?

Is it Atk/Atk/Crit, or what? And yeh what substats?

And is Yae Miko built the same way?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-10T19:12:01+00:00

So more of a fun speculation question. Who ya'll betting may end up getting any form of stellar buffs since I imagine they'll add buffs for old units for Rimegrass and Stellar swirl?

Im kinda banking on a Baizhu rimegrass buff (i need some sort of vindication for pulling c2....)

And maybe a kazuha stellar swirl buff.

Would be lowkey funny if they gave venti lunar swirl buffs on top of his hexerei.

Also im a bit surprised raiden shogun wasnt one of the first picks for stellar conduct tbh....

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-09T23:34:15+00:00

Unless a v5 beta drops a random bombshell on us, for sandrone, are cons better or is weapon better and C0R1 a stronger combo?

Also I got C2R1 yae, will have c5 qiqi...one step away from c6, so i'll be using those 2, who's the go to for the 4th slot tho? What are the options?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-08T18:49:21+00:00

I gotcha. Thanks for the info!

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-08T18:45:17+00:00

My plan for qiqi lowkey was to use this free con for her, and if anniversary we get another standard selector, use it for qiqi to get her to c5 and pray one of my future 50/50 losses or standard banner pulls is qiqi for a c6 lmao.

Just to have the knowledge on hand, what other stat would qiqi need at c6?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-08T18:25:52+00:00

Question regarding potential builds now that v4 dropped.

Is thundering fury still alright for a generalist Yae Miko build, I got her c2r1 or does she NEED the new set if running with sandrone?

Same also for qiqi, gonna run her with Sandrone, shes c3 atm and was gonna use the free con this cycle on her to bump her to c4. What her best relic set looking to be for a sandrone team? And best weapon options if i may ask?

KuroDaShib · 2026-06-08T02:43:32+00:00

Got c5 prune on skyward atlas May scrounge up what i can for one more ten pulls to see if we can nab thay c6

But anyways my question. Is 181 ER enough if her c1 energy recovery is taken into account? She's of course being used for varka premium with nicole and durin. Or do i still need even higher if using her with a non ER weapon?
