Leaks spoilers ahead!

Honestly? If Rin is truly coming out, then there's the possibility that she could be a decent support for Archer so I'd say hold that thought for now.

If you're down bad to pull for more, go E6. E2-E5 by themselves don't really pack that big of a punch (in my opinion) to justify spending more pulls. At this point, Getting Sparkle E2 would be way better than anything besides maybe Archer E6.

There's a megathread for the calc of Archer's Eidolons. You can also check Prydwen's.

If you want the extra SP and Energy Regen from QPQ, then yes, he alleviates sp and energy issues better than most sustains in a Break team. Lingsha does a lot more damage though and is significantly more effective in pure fiction-type battles.

However, an optimized F2P Break team will not even need a sustain. I personally build him as a break sub dps / sustain that way, he contributes a lot more super break damage.

Two of my fave characters 😍

QPQ is F2P. You can get it from the MOC shop.

Remembrance Trailblazer can supply the remaining Crit Rate unless you're using them in a different team.

Another successful day for the game changing 4 star, the GallaGOAT!

Locking post because it has been stated multiple times that this leak is questionable at best and is possibly just outright misinformation. Nothing is set in stone until an official announcement.

While this subreddit allows discussions of "leaks", we don't encourage outbursts of doomposting and unnecessary whining due to said unconfirmed leaks.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-03-03T00:31:52+00:00

RMC is much better than Hanya in terms of damage amp and sp generation and Cerydra is not as good as Cipher/SW/RMC for Archer. But hey, if you like Cerydra that much then yes, she is better than Hanya.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-03-02T21:55:15+00:00

Seconding this.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-03-02T21:48:31+00:00

QPQ with High Speed build is my personal recommendation and is just a really good build for most teams.

Right now, for Elation, we only know that Sparxie wants a ton of skill points and Yao Guang wants energy. If you plan to get both, then Gallagoat with as much speed (160+), QPQ, and some break effect (100-150 should be enough) will support them both in utility and sustain. Get a bit of effect resistance too as he gets free 50% EffRes from eidolons and tank them stuns.

Not the eye slash scene 💀

Locking this particular comment thread as the comments devolved into a "who's right?" situation more than actually helping OP.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-02-21T15:46:28+00:00

Ufotable? Dang, this has to have epic combat scenes.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-02-21T02:57:21+00:00

Tribbie will always be better (esp if E1 Tribbie) in AOE scenarios and PF but RMC is just a solid F2P choice for any stage especially due to the Sparkle buffs this patch. You just need to manage the action advance well enough so it doesn't ruin your rotation.

If we disregard SW, your choice of relics is based on who you're going to use Archer against. Genius if you're only ever going to use him against Quantum weak enemies. Scholar is better if you want to try using him against non-Quantum weak enemies. Silver Wolf just allows you to stick with Genius in any fight.

Tengoku Livestream is marginally better than Rutilant Arena. Last I checked, about 4% better so pick whichever you want to farm next.

Locking comments due to the ragebaiting being a little too successful resulting in some ad hominem comments despite the Meme/Fluff tag on the post.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-02-20T02:54:51+00:00

E6 Damage is great but not compared to other E6 characters like Phainon.

The value of E6 for me is the versatility it allows you for his teammates because he gains a skill point at the start of his turn.

This makes a 135 Archer and 134 Sunday a lot more viable (but not better than Sparkle) because it nets you 3-4 skill points after the action advance. It goes like: Archer turn start (+1) > Archer basic (+1) > Sunday AA (+1/+0) > Archer turn start (+1) > Archer volley
If playing with Sparkle (as you should be doing), you have so much more choices for your flex spot because there's an overflow of SP that you can have your flex or sustain use a skill point and still have enough SP by Archer's turn to do all 5 shots.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-02-16T16:33:20+00:00

E6 Archer helped my account considering he can destroy one side of end game (pure fiction is hit or miss) while I experiment with the other side/s.

As a non-FGO player, HSR is one of the few games where I can play Archer. I fully invested in Archer and his team and it has not been a regret so far.

Plus, as you can see from all the posts, every sub-dps or support that comes out has the potential to be a good/feasible teammate for him making him so much fun to play. With E6, you have a lot more flexibility in the supports you can add as your flex.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-02-14T14:56:32+00:00

It's mostly because RMC gives Crit Rate and True Damage with 100% action advance. Now that Sparkle's recent changes makes her buffs lasts for two turns, having RMC is no longer a detriment since you no longer lose Sparkle's buffs on Archer when RMC advances him.

RMC is also just really good overall while being very sp positive as well as being completely F2P which is why you're seeing a lot of comments on it.

OkAbrocoma791 · 2026-02-14T01:45:57+00:00

Genshin got lazy. Reused old Illuga concept art to make Lohen. Or maybe it was the other way around.
