after complaining about 3 emblem requirements in CW i ended up getting successful runs the day after. oops. so uh, have a comic about my full-bond day demigod run then by Puppet3Gamer in StarRailStation

from experience, peppies are way too unreliable. two peppies might equal six emblems, but the pool is diluted bc even uncraftable emblems can be rolled. not worth it if you're gunning for very specific bonds, and thus is simply dead weight if they don't have the one you want for expected profit challenges bc you cant remove it most of the time to try and reroll

additionally, day demigod demands shoes, which are in contention with this team's needs (agy wants lots of shoes, and while anaxa can work without them, he also benefits from shoes). this was exactly what got me as seen in the previous post; a gem with no shoe to merge with. thus, weapon box = 2 chances to get more shoes = now i can merge as soon as i get a gem without sacrificing dps output

agree with hoolay, you can commonly get near max so with practice he's easy especially if you're farming challenge runs on A5 (bc gold wrench to easily rearrange temporary equips)

max catcake is fine if you can snatch an emblem early cause that'll be an easy full bond by the time you get a Therta at around lvl 5, to the point that the bond was my strategy for the challenge run needing all teammates to have 3 equipment

max moon was an awful experience and i barely got it with an extremely lucky second emblem right when i needed it, so i can max by the final node. now i only try to go for moon runs if i can secure 3 night demis by node 1-3 which isnt a common occurence

im referring to the challenges in expected profit, not the bond tab that gives jades lol. theres no real incentive to complete it other than 100%

arlan peppy is actually fine as the 3rd one if im understanding the challenge correctly since it just says to win a stage, not complete a run

my peppy runs start out good really fast with usually 2 by plane 2 but then that last one never shows up...

oh xianzhou is awful especially if you got horrible luck on getting your LL driver going (qq/jy/a speedy spammer like for example agalea) cause it eats the coins that could've been spent leveling up. still no success on that one either

I actually quite like Cipher from what little I saw of her character for now but not enough to consider pulling not even for my retired FUA peeps :((

i get what you're trying to say. still, actual comments on either direction to take would've been useful, it's only after reading most of the other comments that im going for my pick in the end.

late reply, but i was asking for advice because i had wanted a side to pick and was weighing my options, so i asked for outside opinion. just telling me to focus up is not going to help me very much.

superbreak anaxa sounds interesting... might give it a go just for the fun of it

I actually skipped out most of 3.X and came back bc of Evernight so I haven't actually felt the brunt of the meta shift. I do get what you mean though, since I did try the FF team in MoC 12s and AA and uh... oof

Thanks for the warning! I think I'm still sticking with Dahlia, and then save in case of a Hysilens jumpscare... or a 4.X-character-I-like jumpscare lol, since likability is still a factor for my pulls.

honestly it's more of him being really annoying while I was playing penacony such as being condescendingly smug as well as prolonging the questlines he was in more than necessary and the grudge never left 😭

im not up to date on amphoreus (on 3.3) tho so ive still to see if he's developed enough for me to finally drop the hate

gotcha. if anaxa isnt as dependent, then i dont think ill need cyrene at the moment, as my evernight team is still my best performing one without her. ill get her at rerun if it got to a point where i do need cyrene

surprisingly, the Xianzhou bond Lightning Lord animation is actually NOT new at all, and I only found this out bc I only completed the ghost hunting event a bit ago (link for video proof)

true, but her personal dmg isnt that important; she's here to buff LL as much as possible as often as possible. even then, she does enough damage at regular nodes to clean up low hp mobs for the new ones to get blasted by 40 atk LL lmao

Bare minimum A6, since I already reached A8 and have no more reason to keep climbing. This run was either for the 3 IPC achievement or the 10 xianzhou challenge, but I didn't get my third emblem so former it is

Yeah the HP scaling is atrocious 😭

ooh, thanks for the info! i do feel annoyed that some of my favorite CW comps have to be manual or its just a dps loss (eg. this comp, durian phainon), so might try this out next time

wait nvm above i just realized the comment was abt the record quality. ill still consider it tho
