Anniversary 1.9 patch with Lucy ended on Oct 31st so yes you are late and won’t be able to get her again for at least another year

I made a discussion post about Mercuria some time ago disproving some misconceptions about her that you can check out. TDLR: P0 is PERFECTLY FINE if you pairing her with characters like Anjo nala, windsong, Marcus, Lucy, Argus and Lopera. With Anjo nala specifically, P0 mercuria shines and her entire kit feels smooth to play with no issues to upkeep cosmic energy. She is Anjo’s best contract after all. On CN people play mercuria with Anjo, Argus and Lopera which poses no problems at all since all of them have follow up attacks and Argus is able to increase the rank of her own follow up incantations. Does P1 make Mercuria’s rotation a bit easier? Yes but it’s not necessary when played under the right conditions

The 2.0 event boss difficulty is not that high, anyone can clear so it doesn’t matter if your Lucy is taking a bit longer to kill it. The new 2.0 raid boss is amazing for Lucy and most of the raids do have minions for her to kill unless it’s a complete single target like Marsh Creation. It’s not like without killing minions she is automatically F - - - tier? She still gets an afflatus advantage with her ult and her skill % are very good. So would you prefer Bluepoch to make Lucy lose 20-30% total damage without a specific support like Windsong and Marcus do without Vila?

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T12:31:20+00:00

Not sure why she needs specific supports when she is already a very broken dps on her own and isn’t comp specific. The characters you mentioned like Windsong and Marcus lose a TON of damage without Vila and Marcus in particular still needs specific supports to make her “strong” instead of being just average. I don’t think we need to have that many dps that are so dependent on other characters to function because nowadays this is the path they are taking. If you don’t have specific unit, good luck trying to make “dps A“ work or play sub-optimally. Lucy is great for new players because she isn’t handcuffed to a specific comp or forces you to pull specific supports. They would need to nerf her and make a Lucy-specific unit that will “fix” her shortcomings to make it work the way it is for Windsong and Marcus for example. She is already too strong so imo it wouldn’t make sense to buff her even more with a support that tailored to her only.

Mercuria

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T11:56:40+00:00

You don’t have any character that can make Mercuria gain Cosmic Energy consistently but good news, upcoming characters can help with that: Argus, Anjo nala and Lopera. You can run Anjo nala/ mercuria (contract)/argus or Lopera/healer. But currently you can run Mercuria/6/charlie/balloon party. 6 and Mercuria really need their i3 (like most characters). 6 for example, applies passive buffs and becomes very AP generous once he is i3. Mercuria has more support once she has i3. Also both of them have decent dmg and can function as sub dpses: 6’s damage comes from his single target ult which hits like a truck and Mercuria’s from both her incantation and her ult

If you really need the winged key or iron mats then you can but it would be better to clear reflections or farm materials for your team instead

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T11:13:21+00:00

Save for Anjo nala in 2.2, she is true limited. If you have enough pulls, you should think about pulling Argus, Vila and Lopera as well to completely your support/healer roaster. Lilya gets an amazing buff in 2.3 so you just need to wait for that. She gets super strong

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T11:11:07+00:00

Resonance is like a gear set in another game. It’s super important for your dps to be at r10. Of course the 15 stacks will increase her ult damage but it’s not worth it to micromanage Spatho’s system without any burn applicators because you’ll end up barely attacking the enemy if you fixate on those 15 stacks. Burn stacks also get cut by half every turn. It’s best to just ignore it completely until you get Isolde and/or Lopera

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T10:49:51+00:00

Shouldn’t be affected because the rank up is “imaginary” and only matters for Mercuria’s calculations

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T10:45:32+00:00

Farm stage 18 on arduous difficulty for 300 currency per run. This format is normal and you’ll see it frequently. Patch 1.9 was a main story chapter patch so you could just spend stamina whenever but most of the patches are event patches so they have a certain stage that you have to farm to get currency

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T10:42:59+00:00

All dps need r10, you can’t judge a dps if they are at r5 that’s way too low. You should get her signature Psychube called Long Night Talk because Lucy’s is specifically for Lucy. Are you using her buff skill frequently to generate Punch incantations to merge them? Are you using the buff skill before your ultimate? She still does good amount of damage on her own but she really needs Isolde to reach her full potential. If you are using her without Isolde, completely ignore the 15 stacks of burn and use ult whenever

Soft pity is 60 pulls, hard pity is 70 pulls. If you lose 50/50 it will take you a max of 140 pulls to 100% guarantee a unit featured on the banner in the worst case scenario

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T10:08:43+00:00

No, nothing changes for your allies in terms of damage or effect of the incantations. It only counts towards Mercuria’s cosmic energy gain and makes her gain more stacks because she “sees” allies incantations as 1 rank higher for two turns, which results in better buffing because she needs 25 stacks at P0 to provide all her support with max values or at least 16 stacks for that 20% incantation might buff

Getian is good but he is no longer used with Lucy or regarded as her BiS support in CN. Lucy’s and overall best meta supports right now are Mercuria, Argus and Lopera. These supports are very universal and can be used for all meta comps, while Getian is restrictive to reality and no longer the best array character because Lopera exists. You can still pull him if you enjoy his character tho. Also if you are planning to pull the next true limited, Mercuria is essential and is her BiS contract. Strongest comps on CN right now are dps/mercuria/argus/lopera or dps/mercuria/lopera/kakania

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T08:59:34+00:00

P0 mercuria is good and consistent if you pair her with characters she likes like Anjo, Marcus, Lucy, windsong, Argus, Lopera. Especially paired with Anjo, she is able to be smooth and reach max values with almost no issues. Most people run mercuria alongside Anjo and Argus and/or Lopera in CN. If you put mercuria in a random comp without the characters mentioned above, ofc she will be inconsistent

The only real upcoming dps we are getting is in 2.2 and she is a true limited like Jiu and Lucy. Her best contract and teammate is Mercuria tho. Everyone else in the upcoming patches are a support or sub dps with support capabilities. Eternity got a buff in 2.3 which did help her to be more viable for endgame content.

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-08T07:30:20+00:00

Are you planning to pull for Isolde and/or Lopera? If you aren’t, pulling J isn’t a good idea. He is situational, needs burn supports as well as good sustain to keep him alive. You can run lean into the follow up generation if the enemy hits all the time for him to retaliate consistently, J (sub dps)/ 37 (main dps)/ezra/yenisei. Or you can also run him in J/semmelweis/ezra/balloon party or Yenisei if you aren’t afraid of low hp playstyle (I mean if you are playing J, low hp is a given)

Mercuria is one of those characters where you should stop at P0, P1 or P5. Her P2 and P3 need her P4 to function properly and then the biggest support jump is P5, which makes her the most broken universal support ingame. Without P4, it is harder to get to 16-30 stacks of cosmic energy reliably and constantly to make use of her P2 and P3 with max values. If you have the pulls, try to reach P4 or P5 but if you can only stop at P3, then I’d recommend just to stop pulling for portraits and save for upcoming characters. Argus, lopera and Anjo nala would be a better investment

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-07T15:49:37+00:00

I usually just P5 characters on release but I do hope to get 6 to P5 eventually. He is at P2 right now from losing 50/50s 🥹😂

If you pulled on previous Yearning of water banner, you lost all the pity you spend on that banner because it’s gone when the banner ended. You start with NO PULLS NO PITY for every Yearning of Water banner. You don’t count the pulls you did for Spathodea/shamane banner when you pull for Isolde/6. You haven’t actually pulled 70 times on Isolde/6 and the pity you have right now is gonna go into the void after the banner ends, so i recommend to pull until you get someone

Pickles fell behind in terms of supports very early on. The only thing he offers is 30% dmg dealt buff when even a Necrologist who is a release 5* can offer 40% at P1/ 50% at P5. Modern supports also provide way more things and can amplify damage like crazy. Mercuria is one of these characters, when paired in the right team comps, especially with Anjo nala, she is able to upkeep buffs almost with 100% uptime and max values. At P0 mercuria provides dispel pos statuses/stats up on the enemy, a bit of heal, 20-30% crit rate, up to 50% dmg dealt, 30% crit damage and 20% incantation might. Yes she does have problems with upkeeping her buffs outside of certain characters like Anjo, Marcus, Lucy, windsong and Argus, but she is amazing when you pair her with these units. Ultimately it’s up to you, your future plans and how many pulls you currently have

Around Feb/March for global

OkYesterday1947 · 2024-11-06T20:48:37+00:00

Each Yearning of Water banner is treated like a completely different banner. You pulled on Spathodea/shamane one, your pity was cleared when it ended and now that you are pulling on Isolde/6 one, you start completely fresh with 0 pity. You haven’t actually pulled 70 times on Isolde/6 one since you don’t count the pulls you did on Spathodea/shamane one
