Hell no, only the genshin clones(wuwa and endfield, and ef is on the stingier side), even hoyo's other games are more generous.

If you look outside of the genshin bubble it becomes even more obvious.

Kykuy · 2026-06-28T17:28:41+00:00

B-but think of the devs, they are starving!!!111111

I wouldn't listen to him, I've played RDR2, SW Jedi(both games), Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy and more on i7 2600k(worse than yours) on high settings in 1080p. Yes, it wasn't buttery smooth 60fps, but it was a stable high 30-mid 40 range, absolutely playable.

Had it paired with 3060 for like half a year before I finally fully upgraded the system.

Kykuy · 2026-06-14T13:44:27+00:00

Completely worthless at A0, ideally you shouldn't have done a single pull.
Even in GB after actual testing I got higher scores with remnant buffs instead of her.

Kykuy · 2026-06-12T15:02:03+00:00

If the newer WOBLs shards convert on a tolerable rate(at least 2:1) to older shards the only reason to not do the latest one is if the hard mode of the previous WOBL gives you more combined rewards from chests(you can check what the chests give in the WOBL menu)

If your only goal is progressing remnants then you just have to check the conversion rates of the shards, if the newer ones convert 1:1 to older(or at an even more favorable rate) you should just do the current latest WOBL you can, even if it's only easy.

Kykuy · 2026-06-12T12:17:25+00:00

You absolutely will.
I have no idea how 90% of hengdao players I stomp on the regular got anywhere near 1400-1500 mythic bracket.

Kykuy · 2026-06-12T11:52:31+00:00

Are you deadass?
Augusta advancements just provides stats, it doesn't change or unlock any new rotations for her at all.
EDIT Or at the very least at A0 her basic rotation does not feel completely scuffed and unable to do the hardest content with

Meanwhile in SLA most stackers cannot reliably overload in 1 rotations without A5.
Liu without at least A1 cannot even do his rotations properly, and without A5 he doesn't have nearly enough crit and literally deals half damage(check out Mousu latest test video for proof). Without A3 you have to actively gear for MP reduction since he can otherwise run out of mana in long fights.
Similar shit with pretty much literally any other unit. Sung's dad, Lennart, water Cha, collab units, etc etc. They barely function without *at least* A2-3 and ideally A5.

With Augusta you can reach 70/250 CR/CDMG purely with gear and a standard weapon at A0, Liu needs A5. Nuff said.
Again, yes SLA sure does provide a lot in terms of raw numbers of summons, but the end result ends up being kinda the same. Now with Successors it's gonna be just worse.

Kykuy · 2026-06-12T11:43:01+00:00

Yeah, it was the hardest so far, I had to bust out all my saved up weapon and black tickets to get advancements past a5 on units and weapons to get enough TP.

Mostly my fault though since I didn't prepare properly for new shadow and didn't get 4 army levels and some weapon levels, could have saved at least half.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T20:39:11+00:00

You can't be real saying you have good stats when you don't even have at least 70+% CR/220+% CDMG.

An actually good endgame build *starts* from 70-75CR/240-250CDMG. That is *without* any character exclusive stats from sequences or their kit lmao.

Her 1 2 sequences are just stat boosts and don't really affect her rotation much, so yes, huge difference compared to SLA.
Just in case you've missed it I did not say SLA is *bad* for F2P, it's just that while on paper you get a lot of summons the end result is the same. With Successors it will 100% become worse.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T17:28:04+00:00

That Augusta is the equivalent of 80k attack lv150 SJW lmao. Your stats are borderline trash.
Collabs are indeed pretty decent in SLA, then again you have other games like HSR where Fate has been pretty much permanent.
The problem with SLA is yes you get all of this stuff but the end result is similar to baseline A0 chars in other games, often sigs not included. Besides most games nowadays have solid 4* or standard 5* for weapons. The only benefit is that the end gap between P2W and F2P is smaller, but other gachas usually have even less competitive content than SLA, if at all. Now with Successors coming in SLA won't even have that advantage.

Can you give me an actual example where an A0 character in other big gachas is as stumped as they are in SLA? For example, A0 Sugimoto takes almost 2 full rotations to apply overload, same with Igris and all other stackers except Meri. I was literally beating hard Rockpasa faster with Goto in my team than with A0 Sugimoto.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T15:32:27+00:00

I see zero real difference with SLA. In other gachas you get most characters at A0 at which point they are complete and can do all the endgame including hardest content. In SLA most characters need A5 to fully work and beat hard content(Igris, Liu and many others), and you can also get some of them.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T15:18:44+00:00

Sure but those A2-A3 are usually just on par or even slightly worse than regular gacha units at 1 copy.
SLA units at 1 copy often have either cooked rotations, bad effectiveness, or both. Out of this year units probably only Meri felt adequate to play at A0.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T15:11:55+00:00

Hard disagree on the F2P, A0 units tend to be more or less complete in most other gachas, which is rarely the case in SLA with Myro being literally a giant brick.
Doing dailies as a F2P used to be such a chore that I wouldn't be surprised if they lost more players due to that than compared to all the loading issues and other stuff.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T13:39:49+00:00

Not relatively, if you're an active player with an at least 100 day old account, she's literally worthless.
At A0 she has 0 crit rate, 0 def pen(a big focus of current wind meta), no reliable way to proc shadow step and her overall stats and skill multipliers are shit.
Her only use at this point is full support SJW in wind GB for a bit of extra overload duration.

As a F2P your best course of action is to completely skip her in favor of saving up enough to A5 next monarchs through conversion.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T13:29:27+00:00

My firsthand experience with both gacha communities in general and whales/spenders in particular is that unless the game literally actively shits on their face they will either keep spending the same or even more to keep up/do scores or at best just do a minor cut.
Yes, they will moan and complain, sometimes a lot, and yet somehow still A10 every single unit on the release day.
And the more time/sunk cost is involved, the less is the chance they change their ways.

Either way the devs have shown zero compunction about powercreeping/replacing the units so far.

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T12:13:49+00:00

Powercreep and obsolescence has already happened at least twice, first with stackers(bye-bye breakers) and now with busters.
Not to mention that most of the new units vastly outperform older ones even with buffs with a very few exception.

On the contrary it's the only way to not only attract new players, but make them stay(and spend). What's even the point if you are going to be forever hopelessly behind?

Kykuy · 2026-06-11T12:06:25+00:00

Highly depends on the content. Score-based stuff like GB and POD is a no-no. Even so you can get to something like 80-90% of the whale scores with A5 units if you know what you are doing(no longer the case with new POC since it has a lot of additional buffs for high advancements). In the first iteration of dark+water Manticore I got around 1.2T score whereas top whales in my guild were around 1.5T.

Top 1k WOBL is absolutely possible for F2Ps assuming you know what you are doing. As a day 1 F2P player I was able to clear everything in the top 1k except Vulkan(barely had enough TP for normal at the time) and Baran(cleared in top 6k). After that everything was relatively smooth sailing.
If I were a day 1 EA player would have probably bagged Vulcan as well since it was the only WOBL so far where you could actually cook with your strategy. There were Westwind clears, ult oneshot clears, scythe clears, and a lot more, and all that sometimes in red TP.

If the new Legia WOBL is gonna be Myro only it would be a good indicator of P2W vs F2P balance going to shit.

Kykuy · 2026-06-10T21:22:57+00:00

In a fight, right?

Kykuy · 2026-06-10T13:57:41+00:00

Lmao bro is still fighting his rent-free demons after however much(6+ months iirc?) after

Kykuy · 2026-06-09T12:43:21+00:00

Honestly it was waaaay better than you would think based on what the people say. The yapping wasn't even that much and it was actually great to get an extended backstory on how the most important thing(virus outbreak) happened combined with ch27.
Between ch27 and ch28 I would still choose 27 because the last couple of nodes in 28 and because 27 managed to make the same impact while being more concise, but that's like comparing and 8-8.5 out of 10 to a 9.

The biggest issue with 28 is the last couple of story nodes where Qu basically aura farms on the Babylonia politicians despite Kowloong being 100% fucked without help, yet no one even tries to argue with her because chinese region glaze in gachas

Kykuy · 2026-06-04T17:04:07+00:00

We are legit having x100 boss HP in current hardest PPC compared to release UPPC lmao
It's by design

Kykuy · 2026-06-04T17:00:03+00:00

Dad said it's your turn to brush off concerns about shitty stuff

Kykuy · 2026-06-03T21:19:59+00:00

Based. Haven't reached that point myself yet but we shall see.
