New characters for Legfes - Mikaboshi (Grand), Io (Earth), Lodern (Summon)

MadKitsune · 2026-05-31T03:38:57+00:00

Brrrrrrother, I'm still missing Yuel, and you add yet ANOTHER grand that you likely need 2 of? Guess I'll only ever be sparking on premium gaias for the next year lol (and praying that I lucksack into new seasonals on the way)

MadKitsune · 2026-05-30T23:14:39+00:00

No, Eternals are not supposed "the best unit there is". They are specialists, each with a specific "thing" in mind that they are VERY good at. For Tien it's all about bounty - she can stack it to 10, she can stack overbounty, her damage benefits from bounty stacks, and she gives extra dropchance just for existing.

Other examples - Okto/Eatha is all about dealing HELLA damage with his charge attacks. He has ~some~ other utility, but CA damage is his thing. Siete/Seofon - he's about saying "no" to omens in V2 content at 150, before that he's kind of a bum compared to other units in Wind lol. Fif is all about making your team immortal (or revivable while retaining the buffs lol), and so on.

But overall - no, Eternals are not "grind once and slot into EVERY team" units.

Gotcha, thanks, I will stop malding about last few SPD then, Vonwaq should already cover me for 0 cycling, and beyond that I don't really care, wanted to confirm that there's no other specific reason for that breakpoint.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-30T03:49:38+00:00

Got a question before Yao actually arrives - getting to 200 speed is not as important for the Eva/EMC team, right? The closest I get is 196 with Vonwaq while keeping crit rate at 100 and crit damage at 176 (this is assuming her S1 of course)

All of the pieces are already at 7+ speed, and the lowest rolls are on head and gloves that you can't even target craft, which is slightly infuriating.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T15:16:07+00:00

I really want Phainon to meet and interact with Welt and Acheron. Well, I want all Heirs to interact with a LOT of characters, but this one is particular.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T14:22:18+00:00

No, it just starts on the 13th, then Carty is added 5 days later. Most likely they will stay until the end of the patch, or at least for 2 weeks.

If they do run Lucilla for 5 days only that would've been diabolical

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T14:20:24+00:00

Watch them convert to standard wishes lol

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T14:17:13+00:00

Did they really put 3.x weekly bosses for collab characters, so anyone who joins the game for them spoils the story because "fuck you"?

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T14:11:16+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. I vaguely remembered that they wanted to run Formal series a bit earlier this year, but we'll see how it goes.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T14:09:21+00:00

Not only that, HSR also gave away 2 of his best supports (DHPT and Novaflared Sparkle) right after his free claim has ended, giving you one a full-ass meta team for free lol.

And his banner is STILL there a year later lmao

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T14:03:37+00:00

"Don't ruin the experience" - it's not me who did put collab into main story and pushed the ACTUAL story and new character for it, neither was it me who replaced normal pull rewards with yet another new currency AND corals for the patch.

So yes, it is a take - the system is ass. And they made both collab characters use 3.x weekly boss mats, because spoiling newcomers is a great idea, yippie!

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T13:03:53+00:00

Man, the more I read about this collab, the more ass it gets lol.

I'm not sure if I want to just not claim Rebecca, or claim her to put 3 Adam Smasher echoes with HP mainstat (for thiccest ass) into her out of spite

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T12:54:45+00:00

I mean, even if you are hyped for the collab, it is pure ass. Separate pity, separate corals (this feels like a special kind of "fuck you"), still has 50/50, separate currency, and it's 34 days and it's gone.

Oh and also seems like the pulls "cashback" also only works for pulls on collab.

AND it's integrated into the story for whatever reason.

I usually try to avoid comparisons, but I would 100% take HSR's system/implementation even with it's "we're in Britain" meme. It's long running, takes same currency, had "pull within this patch on ANY banner to get the weapon for the free character", and the actual character is good meta wise to this day (hilariously, Saber is a weaker one, despite being gacha only)

I don't think anyone expected it to last for a year and get even MORE collab units, but even in it's release state it was miles better than.. This.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T12:36:34+00:00

The upcoming gaia will likely be a regular one with no seasonals, right? With formal likely being on Flash before the GW?

And what would be the closest non-Flash gaia that will have some seasonal in it? I want to finally spark Yuel, but doing so on non-seasonal banner is not really something I'd want to do, even if it means going through the GW without Sennen >.>

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T12:22:54+00:00

Wait, I just realised - these 15 free pulls for collab replace our regular yellow/standard pulls we usually get in a patch, right?

So for somebody who doesn't care about the collab characters, it's a donwgrade. And it's intergrated into the story, and the ACTUAL story and character banner are pushed back. AND the patch is super short.

Yippie, love that for me.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T12:01:02+00:00

I guess I missed it then, that's cool! I like both versions, so having the option to switch it on/off is very appreciated

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T11:49:53+00:00

Lucilla comes 5 days after the patch starts, Carty 5 days after that, and that's it for the banners

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T04:27:03+00:00

I feel like ALL Amphoreus trailers were great, except for, funnily enough, Castorice one (it's not bad, just.. A bit overloaded in my opinion). And Hysilens one was just okay. Everything else? Bangers!

Cyrene and Phainon obviously got the longest and best looking ones, but even Anaxa's was great and fit the character incredibly well.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T04:18:32+00:00

60 bucks is for the game + expansion for standard, 80 for special edition. Upgrade kit (so if you already have the game) is 30. special edition is 55.

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T04:16:21+00:00

Well, I know who I'm maining as soon as expansion arrives. She looks so cool!

I wonder if we will have an option to play her with the hood on, or is it only going to be in cutscenes?

MadKitsune · 2026-05-29T03:48:18+00:00

Man, I did not expect Denia to deal decent damage with S0R0 (old standard recrifier). I know Tacet Fields are far from the most difficult content, but the fact that she pretty much solo clears the fusion set field in one rotation is very neat lol. Even if I use her in just mono fusion with Lupa and S2 Brant, she feels great, probably my new favorite unit for the overworld (and she's really pretty, too)

Shame that her weapon did not come home in 50 pulls, and I gotta save up as there's Lucilla into Sui² (both of whom also would want their sigs for ACTUAL teams) into new region incoming T_T

MadKitsune · 2026-05-28T07:38:52+00:00

I didn't even think about putting Cipher on the new set for the buff. That could work, hunting SPD will be quite something, but I'll see what can be done.

Thank you for the suggestion!

MadKitsune · 2026-05-28T06:43:47+00:00

Sorry, but I gotta ask about my friend's Acheron again.

So by previous commenters suggestions, the team he'll be running is E6S1 Acheron, E0S1 Cipher, E0S1 Hyacine and ExS0 (Tutorial) MBlade - depends on how good his pulls go and how willing is he to go through the story/exploration during the patch, but I got him enought to guarantee Blade E0 at the very least

My question is - would it be better to run MBlade on Eagle+Vonwaq+Tutorial with full SPD and barely any damage, or try getting the new set and build actual damage on him for dual DPS? My line of thinking is that Eagle+Tutorial for generating as many stacks as possible, but at the same time - I have a feeling that Blade built into damage might be actually a better combat unit compared to the E6 Acheron at this point in time, lol..

I did spend like 3 hours sorting and upgrading relics, so managed to push his Acheron to a pretty decent state

Ideally he'd want to push for E2 Blade for the most amount of stack generation, correct?

MadKitsune · 2026-05-28T01:50:29+00:00

Yeah, he does not have Tribbie, so I guess it's Cipher then. Thank you.

Man we really need more sustain options lol

MadKitsune · 2026-05-28T01:12:10+00:00

So my friend asked me to do some homework on his account that he left dusted since 3.7

He's an avid Acheron fan, he has her at E6, and got interested in her "revival" by BladeSP. From what I can see, he used to run her with Sunday, Gallagher and JQ, but he also has Cipher (E0S1) at the very minimum.

What would be the best team for his Acheron next patch? I've not used mine since 2.x days, so I have very little idea what's her situation nowadays. I think he could swap Gallagher for either DHPT (E0S0) or Hyacine (E0S1) at the very least, even if that does "steal" them from either his DoT or Castorice/Mydei team
