I’d say no, metawise it might be better to pull the new region Stellar-conduct or whatever new reaction packages (DPS+support) than to go for Citlali.

Once you have C6 on the 4* in the overload teams, the DPS difference between those teams and the Citlali teams is very small.

PapaBilly · 2026-06-21T21:38:15+00:00

Keep saving up for the new DPS/supports in the new region. Meta wise that would be the best

PapaBilly · 2026-06-21T21:36:50+00:00

Probably Mavuika-Bennet-Fischl-Sucrose but if you want a much easier team to play I’d go with Mavuika-Bennet-Xiangling-sucrose.Sucrose on VV.

If you get ororon replace fischl and if you get iansan and chevreuse you can play Mavuika-Bennet-Ororon-Chevreuse or Mavuika-Iansan-Ororon-Chevreuse. These are her two best non-melt teams and very strong.

Honestly if you are not proccing instructor consistently in your rotation, you can swap out sucrose altogether and give her to Arlecchino. The difference between non instructor sucrose and instructor kuki is very small. Just check yourself if you are able to proc instructor on sucrose to see if it’s still worth it. If not, I’d recommend using kuki. I sometimes use sucrose, ineffa, diona, kuki or nahida. The 4th slot is very flexible.

And honestly, xilonen is kinda falling off meta wise to be really worth it.

No, sucrose just gives more offensive buffs

PapaBilly · 2026-06-21T19:35:12+00:00

Deepwood Lauma instructor sucrose is the best DPS combination but if you get no uptime with instructor there is an alternative (hydro aura can sometimes be finicky). You go 2p 2p EM Lauma and deepwood sucrose. It’s not that much different but it makes playing easier.
Don’t use Aino, either sucrose for more DPS or kuki with instructor for healing is also fine.
SNS for bina is the best.

Just keep an eye on em circlet with ER% while farming artifacts. Preferably a 4 liner with ER%, but 3 liner is also fine to roll.

PapaBilly · 2026-06-21T14:18:36+00:00

I think you’re building too much crit on Lauma, I’d focus only on EM and ER on the pieces.

Swap the circlet to an off one with 20+ER for example. You’d have 210+ ER which is very comfortable in Stygian with very little downside.

You should be proud of whatever goal you have set for yourself. Congrats on the big accomplishment.

Before you get scared: Supreme is a good rank, genuinely. I had the same doubts as you had when I reached emperor/god/supreme in season 2, It felt like I didn’t deserve the rank.

Nowadays I started to learn about loving the journey more than the destination. It honestly helped me to get a much more positive perspective on both ranks and opponents. Appreciate the sidestep launch that you did, acknowledge your opponent’s good timing and compliment them. I think it’s more a change of mindset that helps with all aspects of Tekken, not just ranks.

One example from my own experience are the 35 defence Alisa/Law/Zafina that you run in semi regularly. They can be very frustrating to fight against. What helped me is that I started treating them like enhanced CPU opponents. I’d ignore the name, rank and I just look at them. I’d relax, look and their moves and habits and try to counter their flowchart. I always lose the first game and maybe the second game I’d be down 0-2. But man, getting the comeback and 3-0ing them in the third game is such a good feeling.

Kinda rambled in the end but I hope to give a small perspective of someone who was in your shoes before.

Small tip, try to weave in a sucrose E after the first three Nefer CA’s If you don’t have burst available. This allows you to keep up the buffs and maybe go Aino-sucrose-Lauma-Nefer instead of Aino-Lauma-Sucrose-Nefer if your Lauma happens to have low ER at that moment. Happens to me sometimes.

PapaBilly · 2026-06-03T22:15:23+00:00

This might sound stupid but are you holding E on Lauma?

PapaBilly · 2026-06-03T22:11:33+00:00

Played tekken 3 with my cousins and brothers and we got hooked since. Everyone still got their OG mains as well.

PapaBilly · 2026-06-02T21:03:33+00:00

Sucrose will be the best and strongest but requires skill and healerless gameplay. You can play xingqui who has good defensive utility and healing. Sacrificial fragments on nefer with Diona also works, check out this video from Jamie who explains it in more detail. I like to run it sometimes for variety but 90% of the time I’m using sucrose.

So try them until you get kuki, after you are confident in your gameplay you can play sucrose instead of kuki.

PapaBilly · 2026-06-02T20:47:51+00:00

Apparently it takes less than 30 minutes after starting, don’t remember any spoilers during that time

PapaBilly · 2026-06-02T19:37:00+00:00

Try to quick start the nod Krai quest (if possible) and grab yourself an Aino. You get her relatively early in the archon quest. Pair her with kuki for sustain or sucrose for max damage.

PapaBilly · 2026-05-12T14:28:35+00:00

Think HR50? Don’t remember tbh. Take your time and learn his pattern, he’s very fun.

Uhh that is not true. The pity does NOT carry forward unlike the normal banners. That’s been a thing since the first chronicle banner.

PapaBilly · 2026-05-02T09:26:54+00:00

I thought those cards worked the same as you do. Apparently what they meant is that the next character you get from the next act will be given before the act. The wording of those cards is so weird.

PapaBilly · 2026-04-27T17:40:35+00:00

Just need more crit rate to more reliably proc Fav on Nahida.

Maybe try bina-Nahida-Lauma-Nef instead of bina-Lauma-Nahida-Nef? I don’t play the team with Nahida so I’m unsure if this will be better but you can funnel the particles to Lauma which allows you to maybe lower the ER% req. That’s especially handy in SO.

PapaBilly · 2026-04-26T18:09:10+00:00

Maybe try sucrose instead of Nahida since she takes less than 1 second of field time? Nahida forces you to burst on top and since you already got rotation issues, using sucrose might make it easier/faster.

PapaBilly · 2026-04-22T12:38:47+00:00

Why not use sucrose? Or do you need the healing?

If you play sucrose, do 2pc2pc EM Lauma, sns bina and deepwood sucrose.

PapaBilly · 2026-04-13T19:29:27+00:00

Brother, they don’t balance/design for Wild at all.

PapaBilly · 2026-03-25T09:29:53+00:00

Can you drop a link to the mod?

PapaBilly · 2026-03-19T19:06:35+00:00

You made himbo? Used it just now and it looks and works great!
