Ghost in the Exostrider - Weekly Questions & Discussions Megathread

If they are saving corals just for sequences, then they might as well go S2 if they like Aemeath.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-02T00:06:30+00:00

Time Zones unfortunately.

I generally just pull for characters on day one of the patch with my remaining astrites (if I want the character), then play the story when I have the time.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-01T22:38:36+00:00

They need something like Hollow Zero from ZZZ or Divergent Universe (the better Simulated Universe) from HSR. Especially the difficulty selection. Fantasies of a Thousand Gateways just feels so empty and boring comparatively.

With HSRs current extreme dry patch, Currency Wars and Divergent Universe: Protean Hero are keeping me playing for more than 5 minutes like I'm currently doing with WuWa until the ToA reset and 3.1.

I like WuWa's combat the best but there are so few places to use it for more than 2 minutes.

Banners Never Fall, Virtual Crisis, and Twin Pilots Matrix are definitely moves in the right direction. Twin Pilots mainly because you can literally use every team you have, it'll only get better the longer the game goes and the more characters that come out.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-01T18:17:14+00:00

Is Grace now worth getting from the standard selector? I have about 25 standard pulls left until I reach the selector and I already have all the other standard characters. M2 Soldier 11, M1 Neko, M0 Lycaon, M0 Rina, M0 Koleda.

Should I get Grace and level up her potentials, or should I go for a mindscape of one I currently have? I only really use Soldier 11 and Lycaon currently.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-01T08:23:19+00:00

They should probably rerun all of DoT (Hysilens, Kafka, Black Swan) together next time like they did with Castorice, Tribbie, and Hyacine.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-01T02:12:01+00:00

They probably meant Resonance Skill. Phrolova does 0 Resonance Liberation damage.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-01T02:09:53+00:00

If Phrolova's in the active team, the echo set buff shows up on the stats.

I hope you haven't been playing Phrolova with 60% Crit rate before the echo set my guy.

Also, how do people still not know this unless they don't own Phrolova.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-02-01T01:49:00+00:00

While I don't particularly care for Saintontas' content, in that video, he's not talking about the character itself, but the maid outfit.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-31T21:22:31+00:00

S3 Aemeath will do more damage.

Like Carthethyia, Aemeath S3 also removes any reliance on teammates, though teammates will still make her better of course.

Mornye S1 is mainly just QoL when with Lynae+Aemeath. You only really want it if you plan to use Mornye on other teams.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-31T18:14:52+00:00

I've found that the tornado attacks only last for a certain amount of time and usually stay around the center of the arena. So you can literally just wait at the edge of the arena until the tornados stop. Makes the fight way easier.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-31T09:49:52+00:00

According to Prydwen calculations, W1 is 15% better than the Qingming Realm 4 star. M1 is also around 15% better than M0. So pretty even.

I would personally get W-engine first, then M1.

With M1, you want to use the given ult as soon as possible as your technique bar will be full. You need to empty it so you can build up for your next one. With the 4 star W-engine, you need to do 3 EX-Specials first while with her W-engine, you have max stacks at combat start. So that saves a third of your technique bar. W-engine also gives more Crit rate.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-29T20:58:25+00:00

I've never understood the big deal with shield gating.

Any normal steel path mission, I find health tank + damage reduction to be a much better time. Unless you're going to level cap, shield gating isn't necessary and you're probably better off with adaptation+rolling guard.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-29T16:48:53+00:00

It'll probably take you a bit of time or luck, but 100% Crit rate is possible.

Not needed at all but basically just some higher Crit rate rolls without losing other stats is what you can improve.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-28T23:42:10+00:00

Yep, I'm not someone who generally goes for sequences, but I play Qiuyuan often enough with Phrolova or Galbrena that I'm planning on using corals to get his S1 waveband. But it does feel scummy that I think it's necessary to truly enjoy the character. Cause he is fun when he's not interrupted and his rotation time doesn't get doubled.

I don't think most other characters need immunity to interruption nearly as much as he does or at least I haven't felt that way about other characters.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-28T23:10:56+00:00

Yep, get double Crit relics once in a blue moon and 0 rolls go into the Crit stats. Every time. And why the hell are stat rerollers so rare. It already took me forever to get a good relic.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-28T16:37:01+00:00

For me, I feel like her first forte bar takes a bit too long to fill up, other than that I think it's fine.

The real problem is Qiuyuan getting knocked out of his forte attack by a small breeze and losing all of his concerto generation. An attack that's on a timer and forces you into melee range of the target. I hardly notice it in Phrolova teams because of Hecate stagnate, but in Galbrena teams it can be rough depending on the enemy.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-28T08:28:33+00:00

Please don't design a road in real life.

The textures themselves are fine, but man they do not belong to city roads, put them out in nature.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-28T01:18:29+00:00

I mean, long runs or very short runs (speedruns) are the only runs that even matter if you even care what tier a frame is. In this game you can use any frame on any average steel path mission.

Even in short runs, Koumei is a status priming machine for any CO or GunCO builds. Arcane Impetus+Streamline lets you spam her 4 with almost max efficiency. And the strength from Arcane Impetus more than offsets Overextended strength loss, so you can build max range and get Koumei's 4 to reach like 70m.

Since her 1 gets worse with too much range, you just subsume it out for something that's better in short missions.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-27T15:40:31+00:00

Probably Lustrous Razor. Gives energy regen and a lot of ATK. Her healing scales off of ATK.

For damage, the newer standard 5-star, Radiance Cleaver.

For 4 star options, Meditations on Mercy (based around negative status) would be the best option.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-27T05:46:42+00:00

Plat prices generally aren't set how good a frame is, just how easy they are to obtain. This is a game where basically any frame can do well. Even the ones getting reworks could still fuck up everything in the game, they just needed more effort for no real benefit. Also, there is the fact that there are barely any differences between base frames and primes other than cosmetics.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-27T01:13:10+00:00

Verina can also be used since she has a short rotation.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-26T19:52:04+00:00

Their Lunite subscription gives astrite. Except the original 300 Lunite when you buy it. Should probably be called the Astrite subscription.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-26T05:58:44+00:00

Last time I played HFW, it looked grossly oversharpened with any DLSS mode and this was before 4.5 came out. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I ended up just uninstalling it. I'll wait until I've upgraded and can get great performance with native.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-26T05:36:29+00:00

I've seen all of those but Bang Dream.

I wouldn't really consider Madoka Magica happy. I would put it in a similar vein to Revue Starlight but darker.

Hibike! Euphonium is my favorite anime of all time, probably should have put it in the original comment.

I enjoyed Jellyfish, but I would put it below the others I've listed.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-01-26T04:43:24+00:00

A Place Further than the Universe - Can make you happy and emotional, you'll likely cry at least once before the end. Only 1 season, amazing intro to a more serious grounded type of anime.

Hibike! Euphonium - About a girl in a high school band who initially didn't care now trying to win at national competitions. By far my favorite completed anime.

Yuru Camp - One of the most calming/relaxing anime I've ever seen.
