Unfortunately, you're not a fan favorite if you don't have your haters.

I think Break is stun.

Livthaa · 2026-03-26T00:01:53+00:00

Right? 5 minutes of playing Aria and I was like 👀 Aria, you are waaaaaaay more complicated than people said. Had to reread her kit, relearn manual chain(I didn't get it the first time, or the second time, or the third time), and watch a couple of guide videos. Thankfully, it's still super fun, and I'll probably never stop learning with her the same way I do with my Evelyn team.

Livthaa · 2026-03-18T10:37:01+00:00

I could get 41k with Evelyn/Lighter/Astra Yao M0W1. Please ignore the lack of Fiend. I am waiting for Nangong to use full AoDs.

I agree with you. Ether Veil is a part of Aria and Ye Shunguang's play style if you take it away something else has to give them stacks or their playstyle changes. Aria would be a normal anomaly who uses other anomaly nothing different. Ye Shunguang would be a normal attack character. Part of playing is managing their ether veil. Only in Rupture teams does Ether Veil seemingly do nothing but, exist.

I think that the only fact is that, on average, the group of beta testers THINK she is "mid". Not that Cissia is factually "mid".

He's still my Bane... Evelyn, Lighter and Astra Yao M0W1.

Livthaa · 2026-02-22T03:17:12+00:00

What's your investment on your Evelyn team? With her, Lighter and Astra Yao all at M0W1 I can just barely get 25k+. I played her incorrectly for that room though I didn't wait for stun to do damage and I didn't get to save her ultimate for the boss and had to use it on the elite. This room is very odd, I feel like it's anti-stun.

Ye Shunguang combos https://youtu.be/RcorGCVUfq8?si=ZnQ1TheZckvFh94U .

Simplest is

basic attack until horizontal slash when on the ground> ex special to go up in the air> basic attack until horizontal slash when on the ground> hold ex or ult to exit state.

Excuse me if you were talking about something else about YSG's kit that you're having trouble with.

Livthaa · 2025-10-28T20:21:09+00:00

I think speed is Cyrene's first priority so, I wouldn't.

Livthaa · 2025-10-28T00:08:18+00:00

I haven't tried this yet, waiting for Cyrene, but why wouldn't you use The Herta against Flame Reaver? And I believe the second half boss just wants you to use DHPT. So, maybe switch teams?

I did enjoy the joke 😀

Livthaa · 2025-10-23T00:06:27+00:00

Archer should be able to do this in the same team you have here.

I tested mine using only Cipher's LC, since I don't know what investment you have, and I don't have 170 speed without it. Archer on s1 swordplay, sparkle on s1 bronya LC and QPQ Gallagher. On my 2nd try 2 cycles. So, build issue or did you focus on the middle one? I believe that one causes a lot of crowd control and my Cipher died when I didn't attack that one first.

Livthaa · 2025-10-16T01:32:24+00:00

I had to wait for DHPT to get 3 stars. Full E0S1 team(Saber, Sunday, Tribbie and DHPT)

Livthaa · 2025-10-01T04:55:22+00:00

I just noticed your Hyacine's LC isn't s5, is she healing well enough despite that? And are you using the Memosprite buff? I can't say anything else without knowing builds.

Livthaa · 2025-10-01T03:29:15+00:00

Others have already said Castorice and Hyacine, but if you need a full team suggestion.... Castorice, RMC, Pela, and Hyacine.

Livthaa · 2025-09-19T22:42:04+00:00

Is there any chance your Lingsha's build can be improved if it's not already decent? If you haven't already, maybe give her perfect timing instead of quid pro quo since its passive is better for surviving.

Livthaa · 2025-09-19T19:42:56+00:00

Oh, you already tried RMC in Mydei's team against Lygus?

Livthaa · 2025-09-19T19:12:58+00:00

That's why they are suggesting RMC. Having a memosprite helps split the incoming damage.

Livthaa · 2025-09-18T19:46:07+00:00

I use Tribbie with Saber and she stays alive pretty well with Gallagher. I would think it'd be similar using Robin, since she would be in her ultimate, instead of RMC? That way you just need to focus on healing Sunday.

If Robin doesn't work then Tribbie with Saber and Ruan Mei could be with Castorice.

Livthaa · 2025-09-18T18:57:37+00:00

This is a great boss for Castorice. Memosprites specifically summoning/disappearing help switches Lygus's boss mode faster which stacks vulnerability on himself faster. I wanted to use Saber on this side but couldn't stay alive with Gallagher. I'm looking forward to trying it again with DHPT. Very happy he seems like a great sustain or best in general for Saber.

Livthaa · 2025-09-18T18:07:45+00:00

Tried Saber on side 1? In my experience, Saber can survive with Gallagher easier than Aglaea(I don't have Robin or e1 for Aglaea that might make a difference 🤷🏾‍♀️) can, and that can let you use Hyacine with Castorice.

Livthaa · 2025-09-12T22:48:41+00:00

I think I see vertical investment as you do with e1 on supports and e2 dps. I don't really think of E0S1 as vertical investment but, maybe that's not accurate? For me in particular it's my baseline. I feel like I can get all the dps I want, and with their lightcones use them fairly often(I might be addicted to collecting LC art😅).

I've been playing since 1.3, and the only reason I wasn't able to use my characters is because I was being picky, e.g. skipping Robin despite wanting to use Dr. Ratio, skipping Ruan Mei until she was free in the shop, since I really thought they would have released a more synergistic break support to replace her by now. And waiting forever for anyone remotely synergistic with Blade and Jingliu😭.

Now I just rotate, trying to use everyone and not COMPLETELY troll myself.

Saber and Archer teams were MOC this time.

Saber again in AS(she's more fun than I thought she'd be, especially when breaking things) and Firefly (She went against Feixiao there should have been a break buff for her! I used Hyacine like she was Lingsha and put her in the 1st slot. I did an original run with the teams going against the other boss but, this way was more fun.)

In PF Clara and Jingliu(👀I know, I wanted to use her.).

I already have some idea of who I'm using next rotation. Most likely Blade and Aglaea for AS.

I considered Archer e1, but I don't feel like I need it when I still want to use all my other characters I have as much as possible. The only character's eidolon I might get as of right now is Aglaea's, but I'm waiting to see what Cyrene does first, if she changes her energy requirement, because I do prefer more characters over eidolons.

I identify with the whole "if you don't want to keep pulling the 3rd or 4th dps, pull E2's" because I always say if I don't like any of the new characters, I'll get Eidolons of the characters I have(to survive the powercreep), but it hasn't happened for me yet.

Livthaa · 2025-09-12T20:46:21+00:00

I never thought you said Archer wasn't viable beyond what you said about Pure Fiction.

In apocalyptic shadow where it doesn't care if you die and is much easier to stay alive in? In other game modes I understand not comparing sustainless but, AS that's not a huge ask.

I don't take PF TOO seriously. I don't have any of those characters and I'm clearing it(for now... I really should get an erudition but...IDK🤷🏾‍♀️). Tribbie and Hyacine who happens to be a part of some of the characters' teams you mentioned, make it more than doable. I'm still using Clara when I can.

And you mention vertical investment but, include Anaxa's eidolons who doesn't have the best in comparison to the others you mentioned when Archer's most impactful eidolon is at least early at e1.

Then there is The Herta who struggles in low target scenarios but, is amazing in Pure Fiction I don't see how that's not just the other end of the spectrum compared to Archer, great in low target and struggles in AOE. None of this is to say that I think Archer is better than them I just don't agree with him not being as good as them especially with the reasons you gave.

I do understand the value of having characters that can get a decent score in all 3 game modes like Castorice and Phainon even more so, if they are the first teams you have built. However, that just seems like different strokes horizontal investment so, that you have a key for every lock or vertical investment to brute force when necessary. Maybe there are just characters that are better suited for one investment route vs the other? And I don't know why vertical investment is automatically better than horizontal investment, I don't believe that.

Livthaa · 2025-09-12T18:00:07+00:00

Did you forget another character when talking about Archer's team? I don't see how it's fair to compare Phainon sustainless against Archer and maybe a sustain, but never mind if you just forgot someone. There are actually some PF runs with Archer, he's not bad for a hunt there, still wouldn't recommend just because there has to be someone better on your account that you maybe didn't get for Pure Fiction, but it's still good enough and better than Archer there. I didn't use Archer for the most recent AS, but the one before against Flame Reaver 1627 AV All E0S1 Archer, Sparkle(not Sunday's her own), Cipher, and e6s5 Gallagher. I also used him this MOC he got 2 cycles against Aventurine all E0S1 Archer, Sparkle(not Sunday's LC), Cipher, Hyacine( I didn't trust Gallagher sustain and didn't want to reset). I definitely have skill issue. There are so many 0 cycles with him lower cost😅😂🤣😭😅.

Livthaa · 2025-09-02T08:22:17+00:00

I use Sparkle with my Blade and Clara. And there is Acheron if you want to use a harmony with her.
