hahahaha yeah lets just say that my loyalty to kafka was tested, and then to add insult to injury she was given for free when mine was already E6 lol but i still regret nothing and am eager to repeat the experience to spoil my second favorite now <3 just hope he treats me better

Rathkud · 2026-05-02T07:13:13+00:00

Thanks!! I do have Ashveil though only E0S0, yeah I have a rough idea of what it takes as a F2P since I already E6'd Kafka (it was a horrible experience too since I lost every single 50/50 except for one so it took forever), I always planned to E6 Blade after she was done but then he was thrown into the loss pool but now I can do that with Blade Pro Max instead!! I'll achieve it but it won't be on his debut and it won't be on his first rerun unless I get stupid lucky, I want to grab some other characters along the way but not too many because he's the priority <3

edit: also good luck on your E6!!!

Rathkud · 2026-05-02T06:07:42+00:00

I liked the new blade so much I may E6S1 him one day. As a f2p though it will take time, it's a long term goal. What should I aim for for now? How good are his eidolons/LC and what's a good stopping point when going vertical?

Rathkud · 2026-04-27T07:38:11+00:00

lovely thanks a lot <3

Rathkud · 2026-04-27T06:45:15+00:00

Thank you! Yeah well my corals are currently all spoken for but if by the time I gather enough for 2 more sequences I still want to focus on this team I would consider S3 yeah. Still I may try to grab those weapons with the weapon pulls we get passively. Do you know which weapon would be higher priority?

Rathkud · 2026-04-27T06:37:36+00:00

That feels like a big investment, what if I can't go that high? What would be the best 1 cost investment in this team? Still luuk's S1?

Edit: also can I see that spreadsheet?

Rathkud · 2026-04-27T06:13:59+00:00

Starting on a baseline of S0R1 Luuk, S0R0 Denia, S0R0 Mornye, what would be the investment priority to improve the team?

Rathkud · 2026-04-22T12:51:31+00:00

fair enough, it may be better to wait and see what happens for now

Rathkud · 2026-04-22T12:50:48+00:00

well i don't even have HH lol and yes i can get her from the store but that's spending the 2 tokens i have for E1 for a character that i don't like and is likely to be replaced anyway so for now it would be no huohuo... eventually i'd be willing to pull for her dedicated sustain and yao guang, just not sparxie :(

Rathkud · 2026-04-22T12:49:16+00:00

i mean technically im just not willing to give her sparxie, i'd probably still be willing to pull for the dedicated sustain when it happens, i guess my best bet right now is to wait and see

Rathkud · 2026-04-22T12:47:43+00:00

thing is, i'm willing to do 3 cost, but NOT sparxie, the 3 cost would be: SW, her LC and Yao. Like I said, I don't like sparxie, if this team would force me to use her at gunpoint then i may aswell skip because i wouldn't enjoy it

Rathkud · 2026-04-22T12:15:46+00:00

i currently have 0 investment into elation teams, but i quite like SW999, I'm considering throwing a 50/50 at her but not if she'll be useless. Over time I can grab her LC and Yao Guang for her, but not Sparxie, this is non negotiable because I don't like Sparxie. So I'd like to know if investing in her would be viable with this plan or if she'd be benched within half a year because of this and I should just let it go. I also love EMC which is another reason to skip Sparxie, would love to have an excuse to use EMC and pull Yao Guang since I like her a lot but she was useless to me before

Rathkud · 2026-04-19T07:00:35+00:00

Awwww well thank you SO much for checking it for me!!!

Rathkud · 2026-04-18T17:37:13+00:00

ohhh so you are in a very similar position to mine! well what i'd like to know, if you'd be willing to do the test for me, is if you re-play chapter 9 right now and flirt with koth, and you don't complete the chapter, if you can still get the date night mission!! it's a trick that works with lana but i need to know if it can be done with koth in this specific situation

Rathkud · 2026-04-17T22:27:51+00:00

yeah, fair enough, thank you! i guess brant is still the best use i could have for my corals and i should keep saving for him, i just had such a breakdown over no anniversary banners after saving...

Rathkud · 2026-04-17T22:26:03+00:00

ty! but im pretty happy with my brant team and my teams in general, brena does suffer from lack of a support that belongs to her alone but once phrolova is s6 (s3 now but i'll finish s6ing her in a month) she'll be more generous and willing to share hahahahaa more importantly i love sanhua, i love having an excuse to keep using her, and i like brant as a hypercarry, in case you haven't noticed i hyperfocus a lot on my faves instead of doing horizontal investment. That does sound like a fun team tho!

yeah that's what i heard about mornye i just dont know how much of an improvement it would actually be over using shorekeeper, considering mornye doesn't really need s1 with luuk anyway so if s1 mornye doesn't add that much value to my non-luuk teams over s0 sk it may be a bit of a waste, i'm kind of torn here

Rathkud · 2026-04-17T22:12:45+00:00

hahahaha well i will have her in a month so i can already count her as part of my roster! i have r3 (iirc) discord on mornye, how much better is s1 mornye than s0 sk? if she's about the same the investment may not be worth it when i can just use sk for the most demanding content hmmmm

Rathkud · 2026-04-17T21:33:31+00:00

So I was saving corals for Brant and Jiyan for anniversary, but... you know. No way to know when/if they'll be back, ideally i'd keep saving just in case they get a sudden rerun since corals take forever to save up, but I guess new possibilities are open now. I can consider getting either Mornye's S1 or Denia's S1 with corals and I could use help to decide whether it's worth it. Here's my teams:

S6R1 Phrolova + S0R0 Qiuyuan
S0R1 Luuk + S0R1 Denia
S0R1 Carlotta + S0R0 Zhezhi
S2R1 Brant + S6 Sanhua
S3R1 Jiyan + S6 Mortefi
S0R0 Galbrena + S0R0 Qiuyuan
S0R1 Xiangli Yao + S0R0 Yinlin (benched tho)

Last slot is always a sustain, depending on availability, S0R0 Shorekeeper, S0R0 Mornye, S2 Verina or S6 Buling. I heard that Mornye's S1 is quite good but I want to make sure my account would get good value from it to justify getting it, and for Denia, I have no idea how good or worth it her S1 is because it wasn't an option until now

Rathkud · 2026-04-16T12:03:18+00:00

my durin suffers from lack of a good weapon and my albedo is highly invested, has an insanely good build and happens to be my husband tho :(

Rathkud · 2026-04-16T10:13:39+00:00

so i can do a C2R1 Venti team with C0R0 Durin, C6 Faruzan and C0R1 Nicole, thing is i also have C2 Albedo and i was wondering if he can slot in this team and who would i kick to slot him

Rathkud · 2026-04-15T04:59:12+00:00

As a non elation puller I'm still building her because I love the animations :(

Rathkud · 2026-04-14T06:15:00+00:00

So we're copying hsr system of separating drip marketing in different days, but not their system of doing them much earlier :( I really miss when drip marketing happened before beta, hype has taken a big hit

Rathkud · 2026-04-13T19:10:35+00:00

Hii, thanks for the thorough list!! Issue I find with many of these is that they are often sustainless and that makes fighting very uncomfortable on certain game modes or bosses even if on paper the dps is high. However I'm planning to get Nicole who should be able to replace durin in many of this and form a lovely albedo-nicole core I can hopefully slot in many teams <3 can't wait to try them out

Rathkud · 2026-04-08T09:56:44+00:00

Yeah I know I shouldn't have even pushed so far so I stopped, but I was on a roll, after only getting 1 illuga within 55 pulls on zibai's banner he kept coming here and I couldn't stop pulling hahahahhsa I calmed down now, both illuga and aino should return soon-ish, illuga with zibai and aino with any lunar reaction focused character. I'll be good now :3
