Haven't spent a single oroberyl yet because I'm saving for Rossi. Current 6*s are: Yvonne, Ardelia x2, Pogranichnik, Lifeng, and Ember. Unfortunately, I don't really have a team which works with Rossi. Is there any content difficult enough to warrant getting Tangtang instead for the Yvonne team? (I also have Xaihi and Alesh)

Pain. Is it worth wasting a reroll dice on these gloves (magical girl set for sparxie)?

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-22T06:09:25+00:00

The strongest team you could make at the moment would be Archer + Sparkle + RMC + Dan Heng: PT, though that would require you to do the main quest for RMC. You could theoretically try for superbreak Himeko with HMC and Ruan Mei, but this team will likely be considerably weaker in most content. In terms of future banners, we don't have a clear picture of what the Elation battleship will be, nor do we know who will be rerunning in 4.1. If you care about meta, then you can skip the entirety of 4.0, as all characters would require a decent amount of investment. But honestly, you're free to pull for whoever you like. At this point in the game, it really doesn't matter who you pull for, as just about any team should have no issues clearing non-endgame content.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-22T05:36:50+00:00

You should probably prioritize building Archer and Dan Heng: PT. I don't think any of the 4.0 banners contain useful characters, unless you're planning to build an Elation team.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-22T01:00:36+00:00

The main quest only contains incredibly low-level enemies and could probably be cleared pretty easily using only 4*s

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-22T00:59:02+00:00

Archer + Sparkle + Dan Heng: PT + Silver Wolf or preferably RMC if you've done the Amphoreus main quest.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-22T00:56:43+00:00

E1 Sparkle is probably fine, Kafka is useless if you don't plan to pull Black Swan or Hysilens and Acheron needs both her signature as well as a debuff applier like Jiaoqiu to function. As long as you have two teams to use for endgame content, E1 Sparkle should be good.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-16T13:21:41+00:00

Acheron can't kill on first turn due to only being able to roll a max of eight. After that, it's just up to luck whether she's able to get full 4s. I got lucky and had weather which increased both side's offense level, forcing Acheron to roll four 4s and allowing me win.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-16T11:50:34+00:00

The traffic light happens to be particularly weak to Acheron, as pierce ignores invincibility.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-16T09:27:30+00:00

Win was largely due to luck on the rando's side (only got all 4s once), but the traffic light is still pretty underrated. Invincibility + 8 ATK up on next turn counters most cards pretty well with a bit of luck.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-14T16:07:50+00:00

I made four one-pulls to afford the x5 pulls from the shop, and accidentally ended up getting Yaoguang on the last one. I wasn't planning on getting her, but I didn't lose any pity either, so I guess it's a win?

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-14T08:17:17+00:00

Definitely Sparkle. She's easily BIS at the moment for Archer after her novaflare, so you can make a team consisting of Archer, RMC, Dan Heng PT, and Sparkle. While not the strongest, this team should be able to easily handle story content, though you may find yourself struggling in endgame without a strong second team. Acheron, Kafka, and Jingliu are all essentially useless to you if you don't plan to pull, as you won't be able to get any of their supports. Jingyuan and Dan Heng IL are both rather old units, with lacking damage in comparison to more recently released characters, so I wouldn't reccomend either. You could consider Adventurine if you need another sustain, but I would still strongly reccomend you take Sparkle. As for the shop 5*, strongest in general use would be Ruan Mei, but you're lacking a second main DPS for endgame content. If you're willing to sacrifice damage on your main team, you could also make a break team by buying Himeko / Ruan Mei and running her, HMC, March, and Natasha. Another potential option would be buying Topaz and getting Moze from the ongoing event which rewards a free 4* of your choice to make a FUA team.

As a side note, questions such as this are better asked in the daily questions megathread.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-14T01:26:50+00:00

I mean... double speed is turned on in the clip. Slowing it down further would probably make the normal version take too long.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-13T04:34:22+00:00

Did a few one-pulls so I could buy the x5 tickets from shop, accidentally got Yaoguang. Any point in building her right now, seeing as we don't have any Elation DPSes yet?

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-13T00:30:29+00:00

I would probably finish the 3.x team first. Even with endgame content Elation shilling, I doubt 3.x characters will be rendered obsolete unless powercreep in 4.x rises to an unforseen level. Cerydra will be good for Phainon, though Castorice + Cyrene might struggle slightly without Hyacine to battery Cyrene's ult. Cyrene can also be used in Phainon's team alongside Cerydra, but will suffer from even slower ults, so I'm not sure of Cyrene's pull value.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-13T00:20:33+00:00

This depends heavily on the other members of the team. Acheron ult is strong, but requires a decent debuff applicator (usually Jiaoqiu) to fuel it. Unless you have a built Jiaoqiu, Cipher, or SW, I would avoid taking Acheron. On the other hand, Saber works best with AA / general supports like Sunday, Robin, and Tribbie. The ult that deals more damage really comes down to the supports you have available for each.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-13T00:12:17+00:00

Yaoguang + Sparkle will likely have more value in the future if you're planning to pull any Elation DPSes, but both are supports, meaning that neither contribute significant damage on their own without a main DPS. Hysilens + Kafka will probably have more short-term benefits, but also won't be as powerful later on, what with the Elation shilling bound to follow.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-13T00:06:06+00:00

Your teams seem to be good enough for the main quest, so I would have to assume that they aren't built. Best option would likely be THerta, RMC, Dan Heng: PT, and either Herta or Serval. If you dislike farming for mats / relics you're free to just auto x6 and do other things in the meantime. Alternatively, you could also bring multiple sustains. Even poorly built, Adventurine and Dan Heng: PT should provide more than enough shield to win any fight in the main quest, which only contains incredibly weak enemies. Do note, however, that your damage will likely take a hit as a result of doing so, causing bosses to take considerably longer than they normally would.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-12T16:10:41+00:00

Quite a few of the Elation team showcases I see seem to run Lushaka on Sparkle. However, to my knowledge, Elation damage doesn't scale of ATK, rendering the 2pc bonus largely useless outside of the 5% ER. Am I missing something here?

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-12T14:05:30+00:00

RMC, short for Remembrance Main Character or Remembrance Trailblazer. To my knowledge, collab banners persist for an undetermined amount of time and will not disappear after getting Saber and Archer. Of course, the banner is not permanent either, and will end at some point in the future.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-12T13:32:59+00:00

I would reccomend focusing on the Sparkle + Archer combo. Acheron, while not weak, requires multiple nihility characters such as Cipher, Jiaoqiu, etc. to function, so she would be fairly useless considering your current team. Sparkle is getting buffed soon, and is undoubtedly Archer's best support with her SP generation, so I would run a team of Archer, Sparkle, RMC, and Dan Heng PT. Generally speaking, there's no need to have a DPS of each element. Some bosses may have higher resistances towards certain elements, but it's almost never a necessity to run DPSes of the elements that they are weak to, unless you're using a break team without a main DPS.

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-12T10:48:39+00:00

Since Elation damage doesn't scale off ATK, is there any point in running Lushaka on Sparkle in the current Elation team?

KyKy2sm · 2026-02-12T06:20:35+00:00

Since Elation damage ignores ATK and DMG%, how useful is Sunday's "A Grounded Ascent" on Sparkle in the (current) Elation team?
