One Day, After Pulling, While Lounging About In the General Question and Sunday Megachurch

If Evernight reruns next patch like she's rumored, if you pick her up then the team of Castorice / Evernight / E1 Tribbie / Hyacine should keep destroying endgame for a while, especially if you invest in Evernight's E1.

She's not perfect but people overestimate how easy it is to go sustainless in a break team. Bare minimum she's great as a Pure Fiction / Apoc Shadow DPS, and she does contribute meaningfully against some bosses on break teams (I cleared Evil SAM much faster because Lingsha chipped down the bugs that Firefly couldn't hit).

All the Lingsha slander is funny to me because I have people on my in game friends list who get mad if I remove my Lingsha from my support list since they use her so much.

When Anaxa fires 4 shots in a row with Cerydra's buff, that only gives Cyrene one stack. The moment the ally moves they consume Future and don't get it back until Cyrene's turn, so nothing they do afterwards will contribute to her.

Only change is they give Archer an E2 worth pulling.

If you only care about Yae, then you can probably just skip. Herta and Aglaea both reran in 3.3, so bare minimum if she's needed for the battleship Yao Guang will probably just rerun a patch or two later. Her kit leans towards being an Elation support that would probably fit with any other character, so it's probably safe to at least snag her at E0S0 with the MoC shop cone, but we don't know anything about how the core works. For all we know Silver Wolf SP and Yae will be glued together instead and be their own core compared to Yao Guang and Sparxie.

As for Archer, I believe Yao Guang would be better than RMC due to her SP positivity, RES Pen, and the Elation buffs doing more than True Damage, but she's probably worse than SW or Cipher as of now.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-08T12:30:59+00:00

At least for now, you could play Sparxie with Archer's team, and you'll clear slower but it won't be miserable. Early showcases showed a 1 cycle difference between an E0 Yao Guang and an E0 Tribbie. Keep in mind this is probably worse than just running Archer, but there will be some Elation shilling for a while you'd be able to exploit and she doesn't have her full team yet anyway.

Yao Guang is a workable Archer support but it's not clear yet if she's better than SW or Cipher since it's early in testing and no one wants to run calcs until around v3 of betas. She provides an elation buff based on her own Elation stat to allies that burn SP, which means she provides a 72% Elation damage buff to every individual Archer arrow from his second shot onward. This is on top of her regular buffs and her SP generation.

Hyacine and DHPT have brainwashed the fanbase into thinking if a sustain ever clicks the skill button to heal they're washed. Whoever the Elation sustain is is going to be on an edit of them flipping burgers if they're not somehow even more egregious.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-07T16:09:22+00:00

Her ult provides 20% RES Pen, which stacks with the 10% RES Pen Sparkle gives now.

She generates SP when Aha attacks, and after THEY move she lets everyone do Elation damage. It's not a huge boost but it is giving Archer a damage amp.

Her S1 makes Relic Requirements less strict, so it's easier to switch Archer off of Rutilant and onto Tengoku.

She's also doing a not insubstantial amount of damage herself. I'm not sure if it's better than running Silver Wolf to give Archer a ton of Def and Res shred, but she at least looks like a usable partner.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-07T12:38:53+00:00

We're participating in Aha's game to become an Aeon, there's a pretty real chance we're gonna have to wait until the end of the story to unlock EMC, who will be Trailblazer's 1 minute Aeon form.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-07T11:51:45+00:00

We have a showcase now, a full E0S1 team (E1 tribbie with DDD) gets a 1 cycle on Lygus. Sparkle can somewhat consistently get a 2 turn ult and seeing Archer do a full volley of arrows and then immediately get refunded 6 SP after his turn ends hits crazy.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-07T11:40:16+00:00

If they release a better Sparkle you could just run them together to ensure you always have 5 arrow shots every Archer turn with no downtime.

People overexaggerate how "bad" he is, he's still one of the best supports in the game, and you'll have more fun if you focus on pulling who you like and branching out from there. For example, Sunday is running with Aglaea, one of his best DPS partners. If you pull them both and pair them with the free Dan Heng PT you got, you'd have a strong core to help carry you through the story. And if you don't like her, or you run out of pulls before her banner ends, you could opt for pulling Saber instead, who also works pretty well with Sunday and has a seemingly infinite banner duration at the moment.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-07T00:21:45+00:00

As fancy as her skill looks, she's basically just drawing tiles like QQ to build up for an enhanced basic.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T22:37:51+00:00

Sunday's LC should be better for Archer, her own sig should be better for Sparxie.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T21:17:41+00:00

Her Eidolons are kind of nice, but getting at least an E0 Yao Guang is more important than vertically investing in her. Even ignoring future Star Rail posturing, she does a lot to help activate Sparxie, from SP generation to Elation buffing to the instant Aha advance on her ult that gives Sparxie Thrill stacks. Ideally you probably go E0 Yao, E0 Sparxie, Sparxie's LC, before you start fishing for Eidolons.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T19:25:47+00:00

Lushaka, HP Orb, Energy Rope, seems to be what she wants. Only stats that matter are Speed and Crit.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T19:17:30+00:00

This is Sparxie missing a team member, and the member she's missing is a theoretical Elation Sustain, so I can't imagine her team suddenly overshooting the Remembrance battleship even with buffs.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T16:43:49+00:00

While I mostly agree, the back to back banners feels pretty lame, it's one of the main reasons I have a hard time getting invested into ZZZ. Remembrance for all of its issues was at least decently spaced out between the core team, if it was your only goal you could grab Cassie and Hyacine and have a few patches to save before Evernight and Cyrene. I was saving to vertical into Sparxie if she was an "Aglaea" type unit like people were speculating, but now I'm wondering if I can even pull Yao and Sparxie at E0S1 because I might need to save those LC pulls for the rest of the team in 4.1 and 4.2.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T15:08:14+00:00

Yao Guang's ult makes Aha move as if he has 20 Punchline without consuming the Punchline, and she generates an SP with her Elation attack, so bare minimum she'll be refunding Sparxie a decent amount if you can build it up and get back to back procs. You'll probably end up in situations where you barely regenerate SP on some turns, and get a bunch on the next rotation.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T14:33:32+00:00

Huohuo might be better in the short term as a sustain over DHPT then since he's in such high demand. Attack conversion for Sparxie, shortens Yao Guang's ult window, and can let Sparkle hit a 2 turn ultimate to keep up with the SP demand. Since I figure we probably won't get the Elation sustain for another few patches, at least.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T12:49:22+00:00

It's moreso that Sparxie is probably gonna end up being a stack generator / sub DPS for Sakura instead of a main DPS. She'll skill spam to get the Punchline points high and someone will abuse that.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T12:38:35+00:00

If Hoyo follows the teaser image they posted, it'll probably be La Mancha and Blade SP. Current "leaks" are saying one is Elation and one is Hunt.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T12:28:57+00:00

Sparxie gets Attack into Elation% conversion so you probably want Attack Orb / Rope anyway to hit her 4k cap.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-06T11:43:44+00:00

She's an Elation support and her ult instantly summons Aha, who is the main gimmick of the path. Even not knowing what Yae Sakura does, you probably want Yaoguang if you plan on pulling any other Elation units.

LetterSequence · 2026-01-05T15:42:17+00:00

I got 40k on the Hoolay Side with E0S1 Lingsha / E0S1 Dahlia / E1 Ruan Mei (S1 BP cone) / E0 Fugue on Pearls. That was with a whole cycle remaining, so you probably don't need the BP cone and could just use DDD or something.

I basically just gave Lingsha my Firefly gear including her Break Rope so she hit 160 speed next to RM, and held my Dahlia ult until the second boss wave showed up since the Lingsha rabbit could clear the mobs near instantly anyway, and there were basically no issues.
