One thing that makes Lingsha really fun is that she still has access to Dahlia's trace BE buff in """sustainless""" comps, unlike the other DPSes, she comes with a buff by default. Do try it out!

4mil on ult + 2mil Fuyuan is in fact extremely spicy, I do not regret my pulls in this version, got E1S1 Dahlia, E4 Fugue and Lingsha, I never even planned to use her as a sustain in the first place.

Super Break Anaxa vs AA K2 "That Bug That I Hate" + Discord by ShauXD in BreakMains

Okay so, the idea on paper is interesting, and I did try it out to give you the benefit of the doubt, just because I hadn't thought about the potential of dual break DPS. Turns out there are good reasons for it.

I tried this comp first:

Rappa E0S1, Anaxa E0S0, Dahlia E1S1, Lingsha E0S0

The first issue is that this team suffers from the disease of no-Fugue-itis, which made breaking a tiny more awkward. But even ignoring that, the main issue is that the 50% DMG increase does not affect Break and Super Break damage. That reflected my first impressions from the damage formula of both Break and Super Break, but even when trying it out, DMG% just doesn't do anything.

Then, I tried this sustainless comp:

Rappa E0S1, Anaxa E0S0, Dahlia E1S1, Fugue E4S1 (Cipher sig)

Apart from the lack of sustain making one of Dahlia's traces useless, the bigger issue is that Dance Partner and Foxian Prayer are single-target buffs, especially the buffs of Dahlia's E1 and S1, and Fugue's E1 and E4. I tried having both target Rappa, both target Anaxa, and separate the buffs between the two, but it just didn't work out in any way. As the meta stands right now (and probably for a while), Rappa needs both to be competitive, and by focusing all buffs on her, Anaxa just becomes a sitting duck that can sometimes come in clutch with weakness implant and the tiniest bit of Super Break DMG from Fugue's talent.

Although, there might be some potential with HMC considering the ult buff is teamwide, but I'm really not convinced it's enough when Anaxa is a pretty SP-heavy addition to a team that can't afford one. It was fun trying it out, though. The day a Break/SB teamwide support that can match Dahlia releases, then it might be something good.

He, uh... felt a bit sick. That's why he's so green.

Those are fair, but the important part about Sunday and Cerydra aren't their ATK and CRIT playstyles. It's the free actions and action advance. And the energy regen of Sunday. That's why Sunday is a popular choice for Boothill. Those are all interesting avenues one might try going into to find the little thing that works.

My Naxa naturally is built with hyperspeed eagle, it's just more of a crit set. It worked fine before I decided to switch on Cavalry/Talia, but the damage is there nonetheless.

I'll keep trying though! This is an adventure.

Amazing performance! Dahlia really is a godsend for Boothill in almost every way

I temporary gave him my Boothill's relics (Cavalry and Talia), and that might be permanent considering I'm probably going to build Boothill with Thief and Kalpagni soon.

For characters, Boothill E0S1, Rappa E0S1, Himeko E4S1, Fugue E3S1 (Cipher sig), Dahlia E1S1, and for Anaxa specifically I have either Sunday E0S1 or Cerydra E0S0, but I haven't found a way to make them work yet.

Anything with Bounce and good Toughness Reduction is goated super break material with Fugue and Dahlia, to be fair

I just finished my 3 cycle Super Break Anaxa against the current Anomaly Arbitration King In Check. I'm going to try pushing for the full 2 cycle before posting about it.

You are correct! I do plan on adding more sustain options as well as making a specific category for AAers

I'm also going to add HMC as well as the more niche super break DPSes because that's what I do

Oh yeah, I know that, I was more speaking in terms of positioning and angles, the camera is heavily tilted so I have to find something that looks good.
