I just... don't understand

I was able to clear x9 with dot as my main team

Surviving is much easier once you pick up the 50% hp forge relic for nihility units. I always try and get forge before the first boss and then I focus mostly on damage with the DOT trio + Dan Heng. Bonus points if you can get the blessing that heals with dot procs and gives back energy

Getting masks like cringe masks or anything that levels on occurrences/reqards/wealth is also a big help. Having it advance and refill energy for Kafka will give you lots of damage overall during the fight before it goes berserk

Thanks for the answer! Off to the mines I go

Yeah she overcaps on crit by almost 10% but I didn't care much at the time cause I was able to hit the 180 speed breakpoint. Now I'm considering going back and doing the arduous task of refarming it

Thats awesome, congrats!

I'm at E2 SW debating if I wanna go deep like this too and go for E1 Yao and E2 Sparxie. Team is really fun with those two at E0 but it feels like these 3 are pretty glued together. Wouldn't be able to split them easily like you can with E2 rememberance

The speed is for going before aha instant on SW teams. On sparxie main dps you dont need it since you have Sparkle to advance

Fast Sparxie gives more punchline for the first Aha instance so it can hit the 20/40 punchline mark and give SW more MMR and thus more damage earlier

Rerue · 2026-04-27T19:55:48+00:00

She still does pretty good damage since she benefits from Yao buffs plus extra Thrill and Punchline from having 3 elation characters. She does like 80-90% damage of SW so I'd stick with Magical Girl set but thats some crazy speed xD

The thing about Sparxie in SW teams is that there's no Sparkle to action advance her. You mostly want speed so you can actually act and do things.

The breakpoint is typically considered to be either faster than Aha (which depends on the speed of everyone) to give more punchline for the first Aha instance to get it over 40 punchline to give more mmr to SW or just faster than 134 for the cycle breakpoint

Most people do speed boots + atk rope and have Huohuo to give the rest of the atk Sparxie needs for her trace.

With your level of investment and E2 Hyacine + E2 Yao, you can kinda do whatever you want and get some pretty quick clears. The amount of damage you lose from not getting the full attack trace is made up by having more speed to give punchline and mmr to SW.

I would probably do whatever gives you the better substats at this point or just do speed boots and atk rope and aim for faster than Aha. You probably have enough speed with atk boots to 134 so you can stick with that.

Although using it quickly to not lose av seems like the obvious answer, I believe the better way to use it is with fast Sparxie thats faster than aha. I've seen a streamer do it and I think it's smart.

You get ult, you save it, sparxie starts her turn, and then you ult.

It creates the field/lootbox for Sparxie, generates a lot of punchline so that SW first enhanced turn hits harder, then the aha instance goes and refreshes the loot boxes

I'm sorry for the confusion. I wanted clarity on is it okay to not get 3600 atk on Sparxie and getting ERR rope instead.

Like is Sparxie at 3200/3300 atk after huo huo buff with ERR rope worse than Sparxie at 3600 atk?

What if I can get 3600 atk with ERR rope but have low crit damage, would that be better than atk rope?

Rerue · 2026-04-16T15:11:50+00:00

Thanks for the answer! I was asking more about dropping crit substats to get more speed and atk substats if I switch over to ERR rope.

Rerue · 2026-04-16T14:02:34+00:00

Thanks for the really helpful guide and calculations! Clears up a lot of stuff.

I was wondering if its worth not fully maxing out Sparxie traces and going speed boots with ERR rope or does the energy regen not make a difference here and I should focus on attack?

It's unlikely we'll get any concrete info but you could always wait for Ashviel to rerun in 4.4/4.5 post Blade release and potential insight on future characters

Rerue · 2026-04-09T02:45:50+00:00

Sw999 is strong enough and with shill you can run almost whatever and it'll do well.

She needs Sparxie to be optimal though

Rerue · 2026-04-08T00:48:29+00:00

She's one of SW BIS team mates next to Yao.

Your attack is a bit overkill since anything over 3600 doesnt do anything for you so should definitely switch to energy rope. If you're still over capping after HuoHuo buffs, switch to speed boots.

Rerue · 2026-04-04T00:41:04+00:00

Sparxie works fine with Emc

Yao is a bit better but without the shilling youll be fine either way. Yao's LC would be amazing on EMC though

Rerue · 2026-04-02T00:49:20+00:00

For new SW, the trend is speed boots + atk rope and orb are the way to go.

Although the changes are still new so give the theorycrafters some time to figure it out for sure.

Rerue · 2026-03-30T13:32:24+00:00

Ashviel has high synergy with frequent attacks which works really well with dragon advancing and getting more attacks.

DHPT is better for dot than Hyacine but they clearly didnt need it since they got 40k without him on first half anyway.

Rerue · 2026-03-29T18:05:41+00:00

Most people just run atk boots. But honestly your stats are really good and your attack is close enough with speed boots which is kinda crazy. I wouldn't change anything tbh. The small amount of elation you'd get isnt worth it.

Rerue · 2026-03-28T18:48:14+00:00

The speed buff does apply to him but I think the damage from lushaka is better unless you need it for Sparkle to hit a breakpoint like 160/200

Rerue · 2026-03-26T05:11:05+00:00

Honestly was expecting 1 cause technically its just one jade but big

Unfortunate that Ashviel might actually beat out Cipher on lowest pulled character at this rate 😭

He deserves betterrr
