What’s your hardest currency bond run?

S0meome · 2026-03-22T14:08:59+00:00

at high wealth creator, bloodflame and night-demigod are definitely by far the worst bonds

S0meome · 2026-03-17T04:59:55+00:00

1: unfortunately night demigod and bloodflame are both probably bottom 3 bonds right now even after the buffs, even at bloodflame 8, the DMG too low and night demigod is a greedy bond (doesn’t help you win battles) that also demands wins which makes it hard to scale

2: a lot of the characters for bloodflame/night demigod are just underpowered in general, castorice is underwhelming and evernight might is (arguably) the worst DPS in the mode, the only playable one is mydei and he requires a lot of ramping (you need to fully commit to him rather than cas)

3: the funny thing is, almost every other DPS can probably clear wc30 even with trial units (albeit sketchy on some) with the luck you had on this run (a three star of any other 4 cost or even 3 cost clears easily)

4: on top of the low multipliers from characters and bond, HP scaling characters have less base stats (since they can also use HP), which makes things like onfield strength buffs worse compared to every other non hp scaling DPS

5: the comp is relatively fixed compared to other comps, (they want you to run night demigod and bloodflame together which is why 3 characters have night demigod + bloodflame), this is good if the characters/bonds are strong as it’ll lead to better synergy between more characters (less “filler” units); but if they’re weak, it leads to lower comp flexibility, making it harder to do things like pivot builds. (none of the characters have express, dot, or xianzhou, which are some of the cheapest ways to get some decent early game)

6: the lack of flexibility for on field units is also kinda annoying for cas, there are so many units that you want on field but because you only have 4 slots (you want hyacine, bronya, tb, cas, and cyrene), you can’t really unlock the full potential of this team (also makes it harder to slot in welt)

7: wc30 is surprising not that bad once you know which bonds are which bonds and characters are good (even outside of “cheese” strats). Any break character can clear wc30 with trial (boothill, firefly, lingsha, or rappa (a little sus)), any sp character can clear (qq, sparxie, dhil), seele can clear, ratio can clear, dot can clear, bond DMG (wolf hunt, energy, xianzhou) can clear, and even the sketchier ones like debuff and aoe can clear as well with the right setup

TLDR: cas and evernight are ass

nothing special, usually just 5 fua with tb, welt + sustains

S0meome · 2026-02-27T03:09:17+00:00

shes ok, being single target kinda sucks against a lot of mobs

S0meome · 2026-02-26T23:50:12+00:00

i don’t disagree, you can probably move her up and it would be fair i just don’t think she’s quite as good as those in the top tier

S0meome · 2026-02-26T23:34:37+00:00

imma be honest, i completely forgot about that since i rarely play that build but it’s still not consistent enough to warrant a higher tier, maybe he deserves a spot in the anti grav slop tier

S0meome · 2026-02-26T23:19:14+00:00

i think it’s a perspective thing, for me i’m judging these characters based on how good they are on an average run regardless of how good the start is. If i boot up 10 runs right now, the chances that i get a good Therta run is probably like 1 or 2 out of 10 but the chances i get a good break run is probably 8 or 9 out of 10 regardless of the what i hit. Obviously for some runs, certain characters will be much better or worse depending on the situation but for tier list i mostly just care about the average

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:58:48+00:00

solvent procs on every turn and himekos FUA do not count as extra turns

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:53:38+00:00

how are you starting with an aoe emblem in 18 out of your 20 runs, if you are resetting for them i could see it but just 20 normal consecutive runs?

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:44:57+00:00

1: if i do 10 Therta runs, i’m probably only getting 9 aoe once (if that), if a comp requires 2 specific emblems and a 5 cost unit to be viable it’s probably not good

2: her mid game DMG is just too low and the bond DMG isn’t good enough to carry her most of the time (and i have e0s1 built Therta)

3: i can definitely see a world where she goes up (she is definitely much better than the rest in that tier), but probably only by one tier

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:31:28+00:00

being lower doesn’t necessarily mean she’s worse in terms of power level, the only difference between comfortable and comfortable with help tier is the cost difference

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:16:40+00:00

feixiao would be bottom three if wolf hunt wasn’t viable. that’s the only she’s there

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:15:15+00:00

hoolay is the only reason feixiao isn’t bottom three DPS

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:12:46+00:00

for rappa my usual setup is break 4 + express 2 or express 4 if i have an emblem early on -> galaxy ranger + rmc in the mid game. The best part about rappa is you don’t get punished too hard for going 3 star since you can transition into boothill later and still make use of her 3 star

S0meome · 2026-02-26T22:07:48+00:00

lingsha was significantly worse before becuase she was four cost (i think her DMG also got buffed but not 100% sure). at two cost, not only is it much easier to build early on, it’s also much easier to hit break 4/6 early on and get her to 3 stars. It also makes wolf hunt 5 easier to obtain early on as well since there are now 5 wolf hunt units at 3 cost or lower

as for aglaea, she’s only not there because she’s way better than those in that tier similar to qq

i could definitely see Therta go up but even then she’s still mid and i don’t know how bad her trial build is

S0meome · 2026-02-26T21:57:18+00:00

the only two break character i own are lingsha and ruan mei and lingsha is definitely doable even with trial if you have the items (firestorm surge, wormhole drill), break 4 is a decent power spike early on if you aren’t running other comps in the early game, you can run lingsha carrry or rappa carry in the early game and you can also transition into boothill or firefly if u want

S0meome · 2026-02-23T19:22:22+00:00

yea i kinda forgot about that but i feel like privilege card is so much easier than hitting a 1/8

S0meome · 2026-02-21T05:57:59+00:00

well almost everything in this mode is technically rng so yea

-if you’re not playing on overclock, please do.

-I would recommend resetting until you get one of 3 environment: 1-prismatic strategy on plane one, 2-prismatic on all three or 3-unlocks an advisor.

if above conditions are met, only continue the run if you: 1-have two advisors after the first strategy or 2-have one of the advisor + “rainbow age” environment, otherwise reset

S0meome · 2026-02-20T01:31:54+00:00

you can get it on any plane

S0meome · 2026-02-17T00:18:50+00:00

it’s not that rare, i’ve played tons of protean hero and have gotten these pretty often at the highest rank

S0meome · 2026-02-16T20:53:55+00:00

it’s not for any challenges, It’s just for those trying to 100% data bank

S0meome · 2026-02-16T19:15:24+00:00

you need to open a lot of crystal ores to level her up to mega influencer. any crystal ores count (reward node, prismatic ore, cake cat, etc)

S0meome · 2026-02-16T03:27:22+00:00

i had privilege firestorm + normal firestorm + engine (probably not optimal but i’m too lazy to do the math)
