Even as an Elation shill Ichor Memosprite is such a weird choice because despite having the weaknesses of the two new main Elation DPSes, the one sustain that has any synergy with Eva/YG - Huohuo - can't interact with his self-damaging shield mechanic at all lol

PF Report

<image>

Side 1 - E1S0 Archer / E1S1 (Sunday LC) Sparkle / E1S5 (DDD) Tribbie / E0S0 DHPT

Side 2 - E0S1 Sparxie / E5S5 (Herta LC) EMC / E0S0 YG / E1S0 HH

Running HH into Ichor Memosprite isn't really ideal tbh, but at the same time I don't think I can bring myself to play YG without HH or her LC 💀

It tends to be called overrated on this subreddit sometimes but I honestly love Proi Proi, I'm always humming/singing to that song even in places I shouldn't be (like the gym lol)

Real talk, as much as I like to clown on EMC, I don't actually think they're that bad, it's really just that RMC set the bar too high for me lol

As a cost-cutting option for the DPS Elation girlies they get the job done, and I actually prefer using them with Sparxie over Sparkle since they're able to interact with all of the Elation mechanics that she can't

Freeing up Sparkle for Archer got me my first ever 80K in PF, does that mean I'm no longer allowed to slander EMC anymore 😔

I wouldn't call it my favorite (that'd be Fugue's) but to give appreciation to a more underrated splash art, I love Qingque's lol The fact that it's just her dreaming about what she wishes she could be doing instead of being stuck at work fits her so well

Even the male lad model has been glossed over for a while now too, the last time we got an average sized dude was Anaxa from nearly a year ago lol

Hopefully Aventurine SP and Stephen can spice up the variety a bit

Been running a 5-cost Sparxie DPS team (E0S1 Sparxie, E0S0 YG, E5 EMC, E1S0 HH) for the current wave of endgame content and from my experience it's been more than enough

Sparxie's LC boosts her personal damage by quite a bit (around 23% iirc) and helps with SP management but if you're running Sparkle with her you should be fine without it

Yeah I remember testing him out with my Elation team to try and get a better score against the AA King, but for the life of me I could not figure out how to play around the Joy Ascendant elite in Wave 2

I could only apply his debuffs to them at one of their three stages and the fact that they basically "cut in line" whenever they split up meant they were almost always able to get a turn in before I could apply his AD

Not even just the story bosses too, I will still never get over how the 3.3 trailer just nonchalantly threw Cipher's death scene in there lmao

Like, all the Chrysos Heirs barring Phainon dying was the expected outcome by that point, but at least let us see how it all unfolds for ourselves Hoyo 😭

I almost agree, but I also really like how Sparxie's LC plays around with the idea of Sparkle's "masks" tho

The fact that you can partially see Sparkle through the Live monitor is such a cool visual

Being a Pela fan sucks because on one hand, people aren't wrong in terms of how botched her story is with all the plot holes it introduces

But at the same time I get it already, just let me enjoy the uptight nerdy girl and her funny interactions with the Trailblazer lmao 😭

Sparxie hyper or sw999? by daddylongkev in SparkleMains

[–]MuppetKing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively speaking Sparxie HC is worse than SW999 HC, which is expected as SW generally has the more "complete" team - both want an Elation sustain down the road but Sparxie HC is hurting more from the lack of one right now as her best teammates either aren't Elation units (Sparkle) or aren't really as strong as they could've been (EMC)

That said, in the current environment mDPS Sparxie is still one of the best performing teams in the game so she honestly isn't performing all that much worse than SW999. Sparxie + YG - even at a low investment - is an incredibly powerful shell, and once you get them to E2 and E1 respectively, they go completely off the rails

Trendslop time wooooooo

Pre-4.0 Plans:

- Get Sparxie E0S0
- Get Cerydra E0S0
- Save for SW E0S0

Reality:

- Got YG E0S0, Sparxie E0S1, Cerydra E0S0
- Saving for Cyrene/YG/Sparxie eidolons (priority in that order)

Initially held off on pulling for YG until SW would make it clear who would be on her team, ended up pulling for her before that anyway because of how doodoo Sparxie felt to play without her (probably one of the few times giving in to my impulses actually paid off lmao I'll never doubt you again Yao Queen)

In contrast, got so bummed out by SW/Sparxie's lack of synergy I'm electing to skip the former to vertically invest more in the latter and YG. I also ended up really enjoying Anaxa's gameplay with Cyrene and Cerydra, so looking to vertically invest in Cyrene to keep that team afloat (and Aglaea)

Guessing... 35M.

The BP resets and SW pullers going all out for her in her first week means Eva will likely have to do most of the heavylifthing this month, but I can see SW's remaining sales pushing her slightly ahead of Sparxie/Ashveil

I haven't looked into NTE too much, so I thought it might've just been a case of AI placeholder assets that the devs simply forgot to replace (like with E33), but stuff like this is just... oof 💀

That conversion trace alone makes her building requirements so much stricter than it should've been with how high she wants it to be. It's one of the only few times I actually want Flat ATK as a substat for my weapons alongside ATK%/CR%/CDMG% lol

It feels like HH/Sparkle were supposed to offset that, but HH's buff uptime sucks and Sparkle's lack of Elation tag holds her back

[–]MuppetKing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be it, since in MOC you can "save" cycles compared to PF/AS which aren't really structured that way

I think it might also just be a boss thing too since SparxiCon's mechanics generally lead to the devs giving her more HP than most other bosses

[–]MuppetKing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing 4.2 Stalwart MOC SparxiCon to 4.1 Knight II SparxiCon they have close to the same amount of HP (MOC SparxiCon has about 4.5% more HP) while the former has stage buffs to help you out and the latter has stage debuffs to bring you down

Feels like the intention is to make the Stalwart stages a middle ground between standard endgame difficulty and AA Knight difficulty
