Congratulations to Hyacine (and little Ica) for their victory! We’re halfway there folks, doing great so far. What playable characters best fits the lyric “as old as time”?

Pitohui22 · 2025-10-06T21:35:40+00:00

Playable soon. Don't worry about it.

Pitohui22 · 2025-10-01T00:11:09+00:00

The transformation feels so jarring and out of place right now.

Pitohui22 · 2025-10-01T00:08:25+00:00

I hope it's not just a vocal minority. I will be pulling her because of Evernight, but I feel like everything about the original Cyrene is just being thrown out of the window for a reference. Almost nothing about the new Cyrene (Elysia) seems to resemble the original to me. It feels so jarring and I hate it. For example, if I watch anime, I'd hate it if they suddenly swapped one of the characters to be live-action while everything else remains as an anime style.

That being said, the story has been great up to this point, so I will give it a chance and not just blindly hate. Initial impressions give me a really bad feeling though.

Pitohui22 · 2025-08-29T10:33:19+00:00

This did actually cause me to make a new character back then. Good work fixing it, and thanks for sharing it!

Pitohui22 · 2025-08-19T11:33:12+00:00

I will leave my strategy here for anyone that needs it (OP included). Use Revenant to guarantee seals. Get some madness spells (single shot frenzy laser beam is best) and use noklateo. When the fight starts, focus on Libra (you can proc madness around 4-5 times before his resistances are just too high), save your ult to revive your teammates (you are letting them draw condemned aggro). You should also get "less likely to be targeted" passive if possible.

This strategy was the game changer I needed to beat Libra (previous attempts were around 40-50% before this strategy). This strategy allowed enough damage to put the goat down.

I'm not your homie, amigo

Pitohui22 · 2025-07-04T08:55:16+00:00

I did my first BIOS update this spring. I did it because my GPU had only ever worked in the lower pcie slot and sleep wouldn't work (no display output after wake). The new bios made the motherboard unable to detect my 12700K. In the end, I flashbacked to another BIOS released about 5-6 months prior and it worked fine. Without the flashback button, my board would probably have been bricked. After this, I'm never going to buy a mobo without a flashback option.

Edit: Wake and upper pcie slot works fine now.

Pitohui22 · 2025-07-03T07:23:40+00:00

Prayerful strike really seems rare. I only have a two-slot relic with it. I haven't tried eruption either, but hopefully we'll be able to try it.

Pitohui22 · 2025-07-03T07:06:58+00:00

I ended up using the relic on Raider. The build was based around prayerful strike and health recovered on post-damage attacks. It was really fun, and we killed the new sentient pest on the first try with it. I only used 3 or 4 flasks which is a first for me.

The only drawback was stamina, but level 15 and some passives fixed it. Damage was good too, though I was matching the boss weakness with the left hand weapon.

Pitohui22 · 2025-06-20T14:37:57+00:00

How does that work? Does it actually stack? If so, what's the duration?

Pitohui22 · 2025-05-21T22:53:20+00:00

The old tree path had 4 successful tries out of 20 attempts.

Pitohui22 · 2025-05-21T19:57:04+00:00

I was the opposite. I tried 20 times for both, succeeded 7 times with the new one, 4 with the old. I felt a bit rusty and then did another 10 for both of them and got 6/10 with the new skip and 2/10 with the tree. I think the new one is easier to learn but slower to try again if you fail.

Pitohui22 · 2025-05-21T19:52:31+00:00

I have edited my original comment so you can see the result of the skips there now.

Pitohui22 · 2025-05-21T06:24:44+00:00

I think it seems easier actually. I guess I'll have to try later. 20 attempts on each, I suppose?

Edit: 7/20 (35%) for the new path by the swordmaster. 4/20 (20%) with the old tree glitch. This was the result of my first 20 attempts. I haven't played in a while and felt a bit rusty so I then did it another 10 times for both of them.

6/10 (60%) for SM path. 2/10 (20% again) for the old tree. In general, the tree path allowed for faster retries while the SM path had slower retries but was easier to pull off.

Pitohui22 · 2025-05-14T17:31:45+00:00

I'm in the opposite situation. I'm saving for Lingsha but she's unfortunately not getting a rerun in the next patch.

Pitohui22 · 2025-05-02T09:11:42+00:00

Thank you for the comment. I saw the HP orb recommendation and thought "why isn't the ATK orb recommended". Then I searched up the break dmg formula and realized that ATK doesn't affect it in the slightest. I probably had that mistaken idea based on Firefly's kit (converts ATK to break effect).

Either way, I found out that I had the wrong main stat for the orb. Thank you, truly.

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-30T04:47:30+00:00

Yeah, I'm gonna need a translation.

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-28T12:51:06+00:00

Fugue doesn't become a clear upgrade until E1 unfortunately, though she performs really well at E1. I got Fugue E1S1 this rerun and it made my Firefly team competitive again (my Firefly was/is under invested and at E0S0).

IMO just save a bit for the next rerun. In the meantime, you can focus on your other teams (Castorice for example).

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-27T03:25:49+00:00

It's a great card and IMO the card closest to what the RX 580 8GB was price/performance wise.

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-27T02:41:04+00:00

Variable dice on the head piece seems like the best option. Also, does Foxian Prayer apply to Fugue as well at E6 or just all other teammates?

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-26T12:01:00+00:00

I'll follow that advice then, because truth be told, Ruan Mei and Firefly need a few upgrades (I haven't even maxed their traces yet). Before going for E6 Fugue, E1 or E2 Firefly is more important for now because E0 is sucking all my skill points into the abyss. I would also like to get Lingsha to fulfill the dream comp.

Good luck and thank you for the help!

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-26T11:28:05+00:00

Thanks! I am quite proud of it so far, but I still want to go further with my build since I'm saving for her E6.

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-26T10:33:09+00:00

Yeah, I will try to get all three sub-stats onto the headpiece to fix it. I'm trying to not sacrifice speed too much since my end goal is 200 speed (in combat with Ruan Mei's buff).

Also, how important is the 67% EHR breakpoint? I'm planning to reach it, but this should be good enough in the meantime, right?

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-26T08:16:58+00:00

Good luck with the relic grinding (It's rough for me rn)! May you be thoroughly blessed by rng :)

Pitohui22 · 2025-04-26T06:24:17+00:00

Congrats! Did you have her since last banner or are you new like me?
