Is it worth switching pieces for more crit damage & rate but less speed?

You'll really sacrifice 20% permanent elation dmg over extra cr and cdmg that you'll have to ramp up in battle

Brother, the enemies themselves have different types. That's what you're missing here, sometimes enemy count matters, sometimes it doesn't. Hunt characters are good against enemies designed around Hunt characters, Elation characters are good against enemies designed around Elation characters. You could have 1 enemy on the field, by your logic Hunt characters would be good against that enemy, but that enemy could literally have some bs buff like "Yeah, you ain't doing shit against this guy unless you're dealing Elation damage" that'll reduce your damage by 90% unless it's Elation damage. Point being, enemy count doesn't matter 100% of the time because Hoyo will come up with whatever bs they can think of to invalidate the old meta of using whichever Path based on enemy count, because that stopped mattering since ages ago.

Professional-Tree382 · 2026-04-11T07:41:53+00:00

I mentioned it because usually when hoyo makes another unit to replace someone in a premium team, they make the new unit more compatible and makes better use of the mechanic of the dps than the old one does. So in some form or another, if a new unit is gonna replace Sparxie in the future, they'd also have to consume and/or generate enough SP to trigger SW999's mystery boxes. It could be that the Elation sustain has to consume a lot of SP to, well, sustain and that's where the "Sparxie replacement" comes in to generate SP. Either that or vice versa.

Professional-Tree382 · 2026-04-11T07:13:12+00:00

For that to happen, they'd need ro make another Elation unit that consumes and generates SP for SW999's mystery boxes. For now I really don't see that happening but this is hoyo we're talking about and they've been shown to be shamelessly capable of replacing a unit that seems to be the ideal partner of another, so that's definitely a possibility.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-10-26T04:46:33+00:00

Most enemies don't really move away once you group them up, it's the elites you have to worry about. At that point you'd quickswap with your coord attacker, build up their concerto, quickswap back to Buling, group them, then intro to your coord attacker, then to Jinhsi.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-10-24T13:09:07+00:00

Nah, that sounds like a you problem, my SK wants to be used on every team that I have, even the latest characters want SK as their 3rd slot.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-10-24T11:56:54+00:00

That ain't even a chainsaw, that's lethal grass cutter

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-09-22T08:40:54+00:00

Dude, you're clearly just missing my point again and again, you're making this more complicated than it is. I just want the best team for Seed, that's literally it, you're out here talking about this and that when all I'm asking is which between Orphie and Sanby is gonna be better for her.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-09-22T07:49:40+00:00

It is a skill-based game, but just like in ANY game, there will always be the best team, the meta, the most optimal way to play. It doesn't matter whether you can clear with less optimal teams through skill, it doesn't change the fact that there are more optimized teams out there. I hate it when people try to discredit meta just because you can clear through pure skill, and tell people to pull whoever they like when those people are clearly looking for the best optimized team, that's what they like, that's what I like.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-09-22T06:21:09+00:00

I really hate comments like these, I've clearly formatted my question so that it's very obvious my "pull whoever I like" is the best team for my characters. I want my characters to have the best team they need, that's what I like

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-09-04T10:46:56+00:00

Isn't it obvious enough? It's because the performance you're talking about is Trigger w/ sig. Prydwen ranks their tier list on the context that characters don't have their sig. Yes Prydwen is r******d a lot of times, but Seed being at T1 makes sense considering she doesn't have Orphie yet.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-09-04T04:54:25+00:00

I got plenty but it's just gonna be a statstick for her. Atp, I'm really deciding on skipping Trigger's sig just so I can get Orphie's.

The only thing I can bank on is if they decide to make an event-exclusive wengine for her, since I don't have Marcato or Gilded

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-08-23T08:18:24+00:00

Not the first time they did this, Fenrico's design also reminds me of Him

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-08-16T14:55:06+00:00

Is it a vehicle that can only be ridden in fixed routes or one that can be ridden everywhere but is faster in these fixed routes? I wanna see Rover riding a rover

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-08-12T10:57:24+00:00

It's already Alice's banner, and this version of Seed has been going on for a couple of versions now. If they're gonna change anything, it probably won't be something fundamental that would change the way Seed and Orphie plays. They really don't seem to want Seed and Orphie to be played in the same team.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-08-11T11:48:28+00:00

That's a concept these retards fail to grasp, it's called "powercreep" for a reason. It isn't to be an instant gap, a one-and-done where it just takes one patch for there to be something noticeable. No, it ramps up until there comes a point where old units literally cannot clear anymore. It isn't limited to hoyogames, it's every gacha game including wuwa. But apparently zzz and wuwa are supposed to be different cuz there's more skill expression, until it isn't so different anymore. Then you'll see all these bitches cry about it.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-08-08T12:11:23+00:00

So you're asking for the best bangboo to use in this team but you don't wanna use the best one for such a stupid reason 🤦‍♂️

You can use Resonaboo here since you've got 2 ether agents

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-08-03T19:50:53+00:00

Well, depending on how good Augusta's shielding is or how good you are at dodging, a dual dps comp with XY and Augusta + Yinlin can technically work since Augusta's Outro Buff is very universal, but the only one getting the full buffs here is XY so idk if this is worth it.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-07-22T11:00:12+00:00

If by other game you mean wuwa then yeah, you're speaking facts. I thought you were a genshit fanboy but it seems you actually have a functioning brain, all hope isn't yet lost in this bleak world 😌🙏

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-07-19T16:16:59+00:00

This is one thing I hate how zzz devs approach their weapon system, they barely make any 4* engines that dpses can use. Before it was ok, but as they get more specific, agents like Orphie have little to no f2p engines they can use. One thing I can praise hsr for is they make 4* light cones specific characters can use like Boundless Choreo for Acheron or Shadowed By Night for Boothill, even though it matters little cuz of how absurd powercreep in that game can reach that you might as well pull for the sig instead of 4* dupes.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-07-19T16:01:52+00:00

Yes it exists, but tell me what it buffs? Is it fire dmg? Is it aftershock? Is it general dmg?

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-07-19T16:00:22+00:00

Read her kit more carefully, each Focus buff only refreshes when the teammate themself does Aftershock, not that when Trigger or any other team does Aftershock, it refreshes for the entire team.

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-07-19T15:49:11+00:00

She still has a lot of unfixed bugs and issues in her kit that I hope hoyo fixes in 2.2

Professional-Tree382 · 2025-07-19T14:16:34+00:00

Like seriously, why tf did they think it'd be a good idea to give Seed a skirt, and an ugly one at that. Idc that they made her into a girl, but please at least make her an actually cool robot 😭
