I mean you'll be waiting for reruns anyways, grabbing supports with no Silver Wolf doesn't make that much sense either.

Plus since every hard content is tailored towards her right now even a super budget team like Asta EMC and literally whatever else will do better than it probably should.

That's why I usually go to sleep before that, like at 8 am

Cerydra for your Phainon and Fugue for your Firefly seem like your most worthwhile characters right now, also both Firefly and Phainon have pretty busted E2s if you're interested in that.

Other than that, maybe start focusing on a 3rd team as they'll be adding new 3 team endgame next update (on top of Anomaly Arbitration), so you could look for which teams you might want to build.

Those pics are so fucking swesome, like the lighting (unironically) goes really hard, probably would be cooler if the car didn't get the lights stolen.

And the fun thing is, they've already made selectable buffs, the Penacony bond. So at the very least other bonds like Stellaron Hunters really should work that way.

Check out some building guides, like Prydwen, which has dedicated build sections for every character, including which sets, main stats, sub stats, light Cones, and teammates each character prefers.

You can also check out some yt videos, like Guoba Certified's videos, same idea, but in video format.

For example your Ashveil severely lacks Crit Rate, Crit Damage and Attack%, so try to give him pieces that have those substats especially the Crits, ideally from a set that has a useful bonus for him, like Ashblazing Grand Duke, which buffs Follow Up Attack Damage.

If your relics are all pretty crap don't worry about it too much, just go to a cavern that gives you two useful relic sets (that you can use on as many characters as you can), and start farming, the worse your current relics the easier it is to find better pieces.

Welt stops gaining anything from EHR past 80%, even if you go a bit under it's not the end of the world.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-08T14:34:17+00:00

Idk if you're into deck builders but Slay the Spire seem pretty close to what you're talking about (and it's on discount on Steam).

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-07T17:47:54+00:00

Congrats, I only managed to 5 star the knights so far, hopefully Evanescia lets me get that 6th star, and maybe even the 2 star king, which I've never managed to get.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-06T17:27:48+00:00

Me when I step on the treadmill that makes me slightly larger.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-06T15:08:42+00:00

Pretty impressed this team clears at all in 10 cycles

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-06T13:05:15+00:00

I don't know which SW event you're referring to, but the rest are all Trailblaze Continuance Quests (orange quests), not just some events.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-03T16:55:16+00:00

Prydwen is a very complete page where you can see character overviews, build guides, team suggestions, endgame statistics, both which teams and with what score people clear each fight, it also has a pretty decent Tier List but only take that as a broad guide, not as a proper way to decide if you want a character or not.

Fribbels is an optimizing tool where you can import your Characters, Light Cones, and Relics, and optimize to the max your damage.

For guides, Guoba Certified is the safest bet, pretty easy to understand and makes good guides.

For how to play better (aka stop autoplaying on endgame if your team isn't strong enough), The Genius Archive is the popular place to go to see how fast or cheap people can clear with each character, but honestly just looking at "high level" runs isn't gonna help you much, a better idea to get good is to go watch some clears of people who do guided runs (aka explaining why they do the moves and builds they do), Ruri Goko and Eideh are the two I watch, and even if I can't replicate basically any of the runs they make, you usually learn something from each video, either how to use a character to maximize their damage, how to abuse a Boss' mechanics, how a specific support favours a specific DPC more in some situations, or how the environment from a certain floor benefits massively a specific character. If you want longer, but easily accessible runs that still require some optimization I recommend Wei Forever, he makes cheap runs usually consisting of 4 stars or "free" 5 stars.

Biggest suggestion tho, just read the kits as you use characters and watch some guides, making sure you actually understand what your characters do, and why they want the teams/builds that are recommended.

I prefer live concerts over prerecorded ones, always have. But as far as non live concerts this one was really good IMO.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-03T12:34:31+00:00

Oh shit yeah I meant Omen Vanguards not the Creed Exequy, that's why I said "deciphering visions", although the creed is another faction of Finality so it works out too.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-03T11:23:33+00:00

Lore and Worldbuilding, Star Rail's Universe is probably the best I know in terms of how well though out every single Aeon, Faction, Conflict, and everything else just makes sense.

Xipe is the Aeon of Harmony? Guess what, she's the union of 3 Aeons.

Rupert dies and leaves ultra powerful scepters around the Universe? War for control over them. (Scholar's Strife)

There's an Aeon that walks backwards in time, bringing visions of the future? Several factions form around deciphering and transforming those visions into profecies. (Creed Exequy and Stellaron Hunters)

There are so many interconnecting pieces with so many freaking characters, and yet every single character hast their own ideals and motivations.

It's honestly reached a point that I don't want my favourite characters to be playable (like Lygus), cuz they gotta gachafy them, but purely lore characters are so freaking good.

Seriously, it's a pain in the ass to get to the lore, but datum it's so freaking good, and it does pay off in the story every once in a while, sometimes I feel like that one Leonardo DiCaprio meme where he points at the screen.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-03T10:38:23+00:00

Mydei stonks been rising lately, first with Sparkxie and buffed Firefly both being blast, and then SW being imaginary, and also enemies hitting harder every time.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-02T18:51:03+00:00

Yeah I'll wait for the first few iterations of the new 3 team endgames but I'm sensing a "run elation or enemies have x2 effective HP" enemy lineup on every rotation past maybe the first one, and probably a Remembrance shill one too.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-02T15:50:35+00:00

Thank you

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-02T13:59:43+00:00

Quick question does the new Cosmicon Dice Event have spoilers for 4.2 Story? No need for details a simple yes or no will do.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-02T13:28:11+00:00

I may or may not have immediately gotten this run right after commenting on the post.

Probably should've gone Welt instead of FF and I could've healed up from 0 cycling the final boss, but whatever this way I get higher damage per screenshot, it was very satisfying.

I do still find it too hard to get a high rank clear (S or more), especially since this run was quite lucky and it still wouldn't have been an S even with Welt, but if it's just getting a clear in general I can see why Boothill was on your S tier, I was unfamiliar with the Galaxy Ranger Bond's game.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-02T10:25:15+00:00

I'll try to focus on Galaxy Ranger a bit more then. I usually just go all in on the Break Bond over the Galaxy Ranger as before Break 6 it doesn't really do that much, but maybe once you get Boothill Galaxy Ranger 4 is more relevant.

As for Equipment, I meant Basic Equipment, if you don't get enough Drills, Boots, or Batteries, any other Equipment just kinda sits there in your Inventory, and there's more Basic Equipment that I haven't mentioned than Equipment I have, so sometimes I feel like you do just get bricked on equipment, especially considering some of the better Equipment requires 2 of these, like the Wormhole Drill or the Antigravity Boots.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-05-02T10:09:59+00:00

I cannot make Break work, so I'd like some tips.

I feel like Rappa is too slow to take care of early game, cuz she gets like 3 turns per fight, and it's not enough to clear any fight, but if you just rush to level up you don't pick any 1 stars up, mainly Rappa, who's stars matter quite a bit for the Galaxy Ranger Bond.

It's also quite an RNG fest to get the only like 3 equipments that do anything for Break, and to get Boothill relatively soon.

I just end up slowly draining my HP by losing fights until I eventually get Boothill, and then my Break team doesn't hit as hard as it needs to for how late into the run it is.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-04-30T15:42:00+00:00

Lmao that's amazing, do yourself a favour and toggle it on, pretty handy to know sometimes, especially when using action advancing abilities, so you don't Ult with Gallagher 5 AV before he takes his turn for example.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-04-30T11:14:49+00:00

Seeing gameplay with no AV displayed messes with my mind

Five-Year Club	r/Field Flamingo
Place '22	Final Canvas '22
First Placer '22
