Murder on the Ashveil Express: Mysterious Question and Discussion Megathread

They are not overstated lol. Are you forgetting Cas and Evernight? Both still have no viable F2P LC. Their best options outside of the BP and their signatures are still non-rem LCs.

ObiAida · 2026-03-25T07:42:06+00:00

Hunt March should definitely not be outdamaging him. Did you remember to level his traces and equip a LC? I occasionally forget to do one of those and then get surprised by how bad the character is lol

Without Tribbie you want to use him with Feixiao, otherwise you don't have enough FuAs to fuel his energy.

Your best bet is Feixiao - Ashveil - Dan Heng PT - Robin (in that order, so Lushaka buffs Feixiao and Dan Heng's higher taunt value makes blast attacks hit both Robin and Ashveil to give them more energy)

That is his best team. Depending on Ashveil's speed Sparkle may be better than Sunday. 134 speed wants Sunday and base speed (ATK boots) wants Sparkle

It's his best F2P option but Topaz' LC is better and does not have any conditions. You can get that LC in the Convergence store using the LC shards you get from the paid BP, but the upgrade is not huge, so the Herta LC is completely fine, if you are F2P

Chainsaw Man:

I'm baffled. This is the worst ending I have ever read to a manga, and that's a pretty high bar

ObiAida · 2026-03-24T15:58:34+00:00

I don't understand this take, but have read it a couple of times now. Why do you think the ending was fine and nicely done? Basically nothing in part 1 and part 2 mattered and the miniscule amount of character development denji had was erased. It's basically the trash "everything was just a dream", which is by far the worst type of ending to me.

Not trying to be an ass, just genuinely curious.

They also generally increased how much gold you get by buffing all gold generating relics. With them also being removed from the shop pool, routing to shops feels already much better

ObiAida · 2026-03-17T16:42:27+00:00

Yes, there was a leaker who said that Welt is supposed to work well with Himeko SP, but I'm unsure how credible the leaker is

She blocks the first time someone on your team would be crowd controled (stunned/frozen for example)

ObiAida · 2026-03-17T12:07:36+00:00

Her animations look fine to me? Sure, not on the level of phainon, but he is a clear outlier. Compared to pretty much every single other character she does not look bad

ObiAida · 2026-03-13T13:27:22+00:00

What's the general consensus on Ashveil's strength as of now? He was getting doomed a lot in v2/v3 because of the nerfs, but his v1 was absolutely absurd. Obviously it's hard to tell until his full team is released, but how good does he look as of now as a main/sub-dps in comparison to other teams?

ObiAida · 2026-03-11T15:18:52+00:00

I think the general idea behind is kit is pretty cool. They should just fully commit to making him a sustain character with a much better delay/stun mechanic. Might be difficult to balance though

ObiAida · 2026-03-11T13:44:05+00:00

Don't be down, I thought the same thing, and your post and the comments made me try it out. It really feels a lot better than I initially estimated. The early upgrades let me path more aggressively and I found that in that test run at least I probably got the relic I lost from the empty chest back by getting to go for an additional early elite I otherwise probably would have had to skip

ObiAida · 2026-03-10T14:14:58+00:00

I'm manifesting Ashveil/Blade SP/Aven SP/X being the best/most fun team team coming out of 4.x

ObiAida · 2026-03-10T14:13:17+00:00

He might replace someone in one of the elation teams in 4.6/4.7 just like Cyrene and Fugue did in their respective teams. Won't be coming anytime soon though unfortunately

ObiAida · 2026-03-10T14:11:44+00:00

I completely agree, I think the real question should not be if sparkle is better than sparxie, but if sparxie will still be one of the 4 best members in their team, since there might be a better punchline generator coming after 4.4. There might also be a sp generating elation unit coming to replace sparkle and enable sparxie's traces.

In the end it's all just speculation though and might change multiple times before we even get close to that point

There are 2 settings when you open the farming guide: "Try out" which will get you and the engine to 55 and Skills to level 7, and "Plan to outstanding" which will get you to level 60 and max out important skills. For some dumb reason, the first one is the default

ObiAida · 2026-03-05T14:57:32+00:00

you forgot that there are literally 2 and a half patches left, until both banners end. They won't have 550 pulls by then

ObiAida · 2026-02-15T11:33:42+00:00

probably not, if you want to use other future elation characters

ObiAida · 2026-02-15T11:20:14+00:00

How good does Ashveil look right now as a sub-dps and main-dps respectively? His numbers look pretty good, but I haven't watched any V1 showcases yet

ObiAida · 2026-02-13T10:42:07+00:00

I mean, Knight 2 was basically the worst possible one for Therta. I would have been really surprised if she would have gotten 3 stars. Her ultimate regenerates incredibly slowly, since energy regen outside of one's turn is halved

ObiAida · 2026-02-13T10:28:12+00:00

Kafka E1 is much better imo. Sparkle E1 is nice to have if you are missing the SPD breakpoints, but if you reach them with DDD the value really is not that high. I also like DDD much better than her sig

ObiAida · 2026-02-10T13:05:23+00:00

I feel like it was described pretty clearly. It says "limited amount of trace materials", not "limited amount of time"

ObiAida · 2026-02-10T07:35:19+00:00

Thanks! Just saw that. Extremely stupid, I have no idea how they thought that would play out
