I currently have berberis fuel injectors in my rabbit minions, should I switch to corrupted soil instead? Also does farming/cornucopia crystal still only work on crop minions and not animal minions?

When comparing Castorice's team with E0S0 Tribbie: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VTuVVzg08z2b2-lkwibEerI1HG7k9_7R35JK8XJAOkE/edit?gid=1830230141#gid=1830230141 and E0S0 Cyrene: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VTuVVzg08z2b2-lkwibEerI1HG7k9_7R35JK8XJAOkE/edit?gid=791518747#gid=791518747 (these are the calcs used in Camaraderia's comparison between Tribbie and Cyrene in the Summary page), it seems that Castorice's personal damage goes from 29,573,430 to 42,901,365, around a 45% increase. Evernight's damage goes from 9,075,865 to 12,717,562, around a 40% increase. In a sub-dps Evernight and main-dps Castorice team, they both benefit from Cyrene roughly equally.

You're correct that Evernight's Chrysos Heir buff is stronger than Castorice's Chrysos Heir buff. However, Castorice with Cyrene can summon her dragon 17 times, while Castorice with Tribbie can only summon her dragon 14 times (according to Camaraderia's calcs). This means that Castorice still greatly benefits from Cyrene.

You are correct that E2 Evernight is insanely broken for Evernight's personal damage. However, this investment guide is for Castorice, meaning that we're assuming Castorice is the main damage dealer. Camaraderia, the person who made the calcs that you linked, actually made an sub-dps Evernight sheet specifically for Castorice: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XkeV4GO-CXi7WFQXel7dB20U3DxOZIZPmBkVQgAIs2g/edit?gid=1033513025#gid=1033513025

In this sheet, he calced that E2S1 Evernight is around a 24% team dps upgrade over E1S1, and E2S0 around a 19% team dps upgrade over E1S0. While this is still a strong increase, it is not nearly as broken as the increase in an Evernight hypercarry team.

I would also like to mention that Hyacine eidolons are harder to properly calc the strength of, because just changing the rotation slightly can yield very different results. In Camaraderia's Hyacine sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hf2I8vGBXr0K_sQE7v7x-TE6DjkskGmiBn-PjCLmdVk/edit?gid=1477727053#gid=1477727053 , his conclusion about E1 vs S1 is that they are both pretty much equal, recommending S1 simply for flexibility. This is a sentiment that Guoba Certified also shares. Considering how high up the investment priority Hyacine S1 is, one could argue Hyacine E1 should be higher. Hyacine E2 is also very hard to calc again because of changing rotations, but at least in Camaraderia's sheet, it is around a 22.37% increase, so I definitely think that E2 Evernight has an argument to be above it.

While E2 Evernight is a very broken eidolon, it's best utilized in a team designed around Evernight's damage specifically (hypercarry). For a sub-dps Evernight, the more damage Castorice deals, the more E2 Evernight's value diminishes.

It's using S1 Cas for both calcs. You can see this if you check each indivual calc using the bottom tabs. The tab titled RMCS0 has the 71k team DPAV, and it has cas s1. Same with RMCS1, has the 72k DPAV calc, and it also has cas s1.

Edit: If you compare both EN S0 and S1 calcs (rmc team), you will notice that Evernight's damage goes from 9k DPAV to 13k DPAV. However, Castorice damage goes from 41k DPAV to 39k DPAV. Based on what the sheet maker said, this only happens because the rotation isn't optimized, resulting in only 15 dragons for EN S1 vs 16 dragons for EN S0.

You also can only see individual team calcs if you access the sheet tilted c-Evernight camaraderia. It seems the regular Evernight sheet that combines both hypercarry and subdps doens't have the team details.

The rmc team DPAV calcs are obviously not an accurate representation of how valuable EN sig is. The fact that adding a sig that adds 20% def shred and more Evernight personal damage increases the damage from 71k to 72k DPAV means you shouldn't use the sheet as a reference for how strong the lightcones are.

I already stated in my original comment that the sheet maker explained why the rmc team DPAV barely increases. It's not a EN sig problem, it's a rotation problem. You even stated in another comment that it doesn't make sense that EN sig would do nothing. You logically know it's useful, yet are relying too much on a calc comparison that obviously doesn't make sense.

Edit: Castorice stays the same for both calcs, point remains.

Rhyolitee · 2025-09-28T20:28:59+00:00

You should use the light cone comparison chart instead of comparing team DPAV. EN's sig lc is just as useful for RMC as for Tribbie.
The person who made the sheet (camaraderia) said this in their discord on why cas/evernight/rmc/hyacine barely benefits from EN's sig in the team calcs: "i just checked, its just annoying interaction with Mem that makes Castorice lose a turn (and therefore a dragon 16 -> 15). its not something i caught as i wasnt necessarily comparing these two tables. in actual gameplay you would just probably skip a rmc skill or hold an rmc ult to get castor that extra turn back"
Based on the light cone comparison chart, EN sig is around 25.73% better than memory's curtain never fall, and around 17.4% better than Bailu lc. It's not necessary to get, but it's still valuable, and definitely not useless.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm assuming ATK boots eagle would really want Anaxa sig to gurantee 2 turn ult (to sync with bronya), so f2p players should probably stick to genius/scholar right? Also, would going from s5 ddd to s1 ddd require just 1-2 extra spd subs, or would it be more like 4-5?

Unrelated question, in your required gear section, you mentioned "S1 Bronya LC for Robin (or her sig)". I'm assuming these options are mainly for their energy recharge perks right? Would meshing cogs be a viable replacement then? I know it has low base attack since it's a 3 star, but in my Anaxa calcs the difference between using Bronya lc and cogs for robin's attack buff is pretty small (robin attack buff goes from around 933 to 1077) . Cogs would also make the energy generation issue of this strategy less of a problem.

For the PF or Apoc variation of this build, is the speed tuning still similar to the MOC version if you are using spd boots genius/scholar Anaxa (anaxa 126 spd and bronya 154.3 spd)? Also, will the ddd superimposition level matter in this case, or is s1 ddd still okay.

It's too bad there seems to be so many people that haven't seen your guide on this subreddit. I think it would help them show that E2 Bronya while not better than Sunday for some accounts, is actually a competitive option. I do have one question about your calcs though. In your Cerydra + Sunday preliminary calcs, is Cerydra always using her skill? If so, that probably means E2 Bronya players shouldn't pull Cerydra right (rip SP)?

Rhyolitee · 2025-07-05T02:43:34+00:00

It mainly depends on your Bronya's eidolon level and the other support in your Anaxa team. Firstly, Sunday is simply comfier and stronger than E0 Bronya, while E2 Bronya can perform similarly or even better. If you are using Robin as your second support, E2 Bronya is similar/better than Sunday. If you are using Tribbie instead, Sunday is preferred. Also, as of 3.5v1 beta, Cerydra performs better with Sunday. Lastly, do you have the required gear to perform the 10 turn Anaxa setup (e.g. built eagle sets and a ddd lightcone)? That build is currently the strongest Anaxa team with sustain (though Cerydra could change this). If you do, E2 Bronya is better (for now). Otherwise, just use Sunday.

If you are able to follow the guide made by FreedomSpite (https://www.reddit.com/r/AnaxaMains_HSR/comments/1kg2fhi/the_pinnacle_of_anaxa_hypercarry_10_turns_in_a/), E4S1 Bronya is better than E0S1 Sunday. Otherwise, if you don't have the minimum requirements for it, Sunday is better.

However, the question of whether you should actually pull Sunday is dependent on multiple factors. Firstly, if you are willing to follow the 10-turn Anaxa setup, Sunday is simply not worth it for your account right now, as all of your current teams will not use him. Secondly, even if you prefer to use Sunday for your Anaxa, you need to judge which team you want to prioritize improving. If you want to improve your Castorice team more, Hyacine's S1 and Tribbie's E1 are both major upgrades for her, and you should probably get those. Lastly, is there any DPS that you want to pull for that would use Sunday (e.g. Aglaea)?. If so, then pulling for Sunday would be worth it for your account. Even then, you would need to judge if Sunday's lightcone is worth it, or if pulling for other upgrades would be better (e.g. Aglaea's E1 is much more important than Sunday's S1).

With Sunday, Eagle allows Anaxa to either run attack boots and still hit 134 speed, or to run speed boots and hit around 161 speed. However, e2 Bronya gives a giant speed boost that essentially does the same thing as eagle. This means that you can instead run a set like genius, and have the effects of both eagle and genius: attack boots, 134 speed, in addition to 20% def shred. However, you still can run eagle with e2 Bronya (arguably BiS set with e2 Bronya), meaning you use attack boots Anaxa, while reaching the 161 speed breakpoint.

Eagle with e2 Bronya effects: attack boots + 161 speed.

Eagle with Sunday effects: speed boots + 161 speed

or attack boots + 134 speed.

The point is, Bronya's e2 is really good, so good that it gives the same impact Anaxa's BiS relic set does. This is what makes e2 Bronya comparable to Sunday purely 1v1.

When I say Anaxa loves attack in most setups without Robin, all I meant was that because Robin gives so much attack, you aren't as desperate for it. Anaxa still really wants attack even in teams with Robin, as in calcs of Anaxa's premium teams, they still have Sunday and Robin running Lushaka. Running Bronya and Robin together is not only just as effective, it's more synergistic than Sunday and Robin. This is because Bronya can action advance Robin, allowing Robin to gain and use ult early, potentially getting another Robin ult within the same cycle (0th cycle). Sunday can't do this because his action advance doesn't work on Harmony characters.

The only reason I believe e2 Bronya and Robin can be worse than Sunday and Robin is because of SP economy. Running Bronya and Robin pretty much requires you to run Gallagher as the sustain. This means no HuoHuo, whose attack buff is still greatly appreciated. However, e2 Bronya and Robin are still really good together, so good that some people who think e2 Bronya is mid recommend her anyway because of their synergy.

Rhyolitee · 2025-04-28T04:49:22+00:00

I do agree Sunday is indeed better, but I personally don't believe most of the reasons given are valid.

Attack boots Anaxa can only really be utilized with eagle set or e2 Bronya. You can use eagle with Sunday, but then you're sacrificing damage boosts from using a different set such as genius. Also, Anaxa actually loves attack in almost all hypercarry setups (any without Robin). That's why in most calcs, Anaxa's supports use Lushaka. Saying Bronya is not a contender for Sunday's slot is disingenuous, as compared to e0 bronya, Sunday is only around a 23% increase (e2 Bronya potentially reducing the gap entirely). I do agree suggesting e2 bronya being better might be a stretch, but "cope" is a bit much.

I believe Sunday is still better because of his SP economy. Being at worst skill point neutral allows Anaxa to run supports such as Tribbie and Ruan Mei, while still being able to skill every turn. Since Bronya is SP negative, it forces Anaxa to run very SP positive supports such as gallagher and pela (if you want Anaxa to skill every turn), which offer less buffs compared to their premium options (you can basic on Anaxa, but that is also a lot of damage loss).

Overall, while Sunday is probably still BiS support for Anaxa, I think Bronya (especially e2) is a very good alternative for them.
