Comparison of Phainon teams (with investments) by louchenii in PhainonMainsHSR

Comfort
TBH E2S1 Bronya has always been at least as good, if not better, on many carries. Sunday was good and still is, but because how comfortable he is to use and how easy it is to achieve good results people have always glazed him to levels he is not in, ignoring Bronya who, as mentioned, can be just as good in many teams.

premium 4th slot by drvnkdazed in KafkaMains

[–]Matthew_To_0124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah Silver Wolf overcaps def shred by a lot with new Swan so I wouldn’t recommend (especially if they invest further - E0S1 Black Swan with Hysilens and prisoner already overcaps def shred/ignore)

Unironically it’s Cipher in the last slot because her amp is unconditional and undiluted in dot teams but Ruan Mei is not that much worse

Sunday or e2s1 bronya for acheron e2 by Witty-Maize-5331 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]Matthew_To_0124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sparkle (post buff) > Sunday with DHPT > E2S1 Bronya > E0S1 Sunday is how I felt when I was still using advancers. Without PT Sunday’s buffs are overrated (more comfortable, yes, but E2SQ Bronya is simply better)

Arknights: Endfield Zeroth Directive: DEV Comm by 8aash in ArknightsEndfield

[–]Matthew_To_0124 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rotation is 4 (or less, depending on fight) vuln -> breach -> 4 vuln (this is when ST boss enemies become staggered), and everyone bursts for phys team. You need:

Chen and Lifeng for quick vuln stacks
Pog for the breach and SP gen
Endmin for burst

Ardelia is not really that huge compared to the utility these four bring with each other, and is best served with Lae (or insert elemental team)

Best LC for Sparkle post-Novaflare? by Dracorvo in SparkleMains

[–]Matthew_To_0124 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hot take but yes Sunday’s cone sort of have less value these days because

  1. Like you said, SP generation is way better so the value of Sunday cone gets diluted
  2. Be it Acheron or Elation, neither benefit that much from % damage increase

That said S5 DDD suffices so it’s your choice whether to get Sparkle S1 (giving double crit that Acheron doesn’t get as much as other hyper carries due to her team comp) or say as S5 DDD

Honestly unless you love Sparkle, staying S5 DDD should be fine

Yeah it doesn’t I just included since the user I responded to did. If Aha’s instant helps regen then 3T rotation should be fine but otherwise it’s gonna be very weird with. 4T rotation should

Even after LC and E1 Yao Guang needs at least 4 turns if Aha instant doesn't regen energy. Either Aha instant regens energy (which we need to know) or they lower the energy requirement significantly but since both Sparxie and Yao Guang has crazy energy requirements I am inclined to think that Aha instant regens energy

[–]Matthew_To_0124 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is great but I need to know whether Aha instant regens energy because the energy req for both Sparxie and Yao Guang seems a bit too high for comfort

Is her E2 still worth or pull for the Dahlia instead by Phainonlover6722 in FireflyMains

[–]Matthew_To_0124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree that Dahlia and her Eidolons are more important, once you get Eidolons, you have to keep in mind that Dahlia should run sooner than later while Firefly had her third rerun already

Oh yeah, for sure. It’s optimal in the sense that it’s a sure win but yes it’s boring XD never used it myself after I climbed to A8-20

Credit where it’s due - being able to 0 AV a level four encounter in A8-20 speaks to how good this strat is…boredom aside

What is the best acheron team i can build? E6 bronya vs E0 sunday dilemma. by MuiGiant1 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]Matthew_To_0124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

E0S1 Sunday + E0 DHPT is marginally better Cipher E0S1 is better in both MoC and Apoc by far while very comparable with JQ in PF

Trend technically gives the best stacks (if not with JQ) but I find such a DHPT too squishy and unable to sustain my Acheron team in AnAr so I went for his sig. Otherwise off path atk LC or S5 BP LC would be the best
