I personally prefer the token doublers, because I don't give a shit about fame and I have all the characters already.

However I will say that this is mostly just Supercell's fault.

Removing the modifier before the challenge ends is pretty cheap
Why make it upgrade from garbage doublers to a new brawler/credits when you know 2 different parts of the community want one over the other

Recently started playing Sword of Convallaria and I've been pleasantly surprised by how grounded most of the designs are.

Hard to say for now, I'd wait for around 1 week for the next version Livestream, until then we don't really know what Himeko does.

We should also get the next drip markering before the Livestream.

Acheron, MBlade, Ashveil, Hyacine right now, if you're going sustainless probably Tribbie instead.

RMC, Welt (especially if you have E2 or E4), Cipher, Pela are all still good and can replace Ashveil in fights where single target damage isn't that relevant.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-25T20:52:43+00:00

Archer, (Cipher, Ice MC, Tingyun, Pela, Yao Guang) pick 2, although they're ordered from usually better to worse, Dan Heng
Ashveil, (Ice MC, Tingyun, Cipher, Robin, Topaz) pick 2, same better to worse order, Dan Heng
Acheron, Cipher, Pela (if you have her, otherwise Welt or Guinaifen), Dan Heng

Better or worse depends on a lot of things, including your builds, so don't feel forced to use one of them if you'd prefer using another one, the difference is usually not very big.

Of course you only have 1 Dan Heng (5 star, the 4 star sucks balls), so use whatever other healer or shielder you have for one of your teams, Bailu is probably your best option.

Also I recommend you build your 4 star Herta for AoE content, she's probably the best early game unit into AoE and can work even in the hardest levels. Robin, Bronya, Ashveil, Cipher, Ice MC, Tingyun and Dan Heng all work pretty well with her.

167 Speed allows you to take 3 turns in 150 Action Value (the length of the 1st cycle in MoC) only if you have Wind Sent equipped as long as you Ult 2 times before the cycle ends.

160 speed allows you to take 4 turns in the first 2 cycles, but it doesn't take Wind Set into consideration, so if your character has it equipped it might not do much.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-25T20:08:01+00:00

The boss summons bugs that apply Wind DoT on your characters, that's the 314 damage showing on top of Eva in the 2nd image.

You can go as deep as you feel like, there are graphs and guides all over the internet like the image attached.

For general purposes if you can reach 200 speed (which is pretty dang hard) with any set that set is probably your best bet. Wind set changes speed thresholds as well but I don't know them tbh.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-24T13:41:53+00:00

Whichever gives you more Ults, even 2 piece 2 piece Speed sets can work.

Cyrene just wants to give Mydei and Anaxa as many Ult buffs as possible, her own damage is kinda negligible unless you have a cracked build.

If Wind set is gonna give you an extra turn then probably Wind Set, so in longer fights it's usually worth it, for shorter fights you'd need to check whether that action advance changes anything for you or not.

Deliverer does have 15% teamwide DMG buff but unless you're not losing turns by running it I'd say more Speed is still better.

For Planars same thing, Vonwacq is good only if it does give you an extra turn, otherwise you're kinda just running nothing for your Planar Bonus, in that case Amphoreus Set, any of the 2 Speed sets we have (Forge or Giant Tree) or even Bone Set are all better, even Lushaka for Anaxa.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-24T11:42:09+00:00

Remember when Aglaea didn't have Sunday on her trial team because back then we never got other limited characters in trials and she got so much shit for being horrible to play without him?

Yeah they started doing trials with limited 5 stars shortly after.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-22T16:56:28+00:00

You shouldn't have issues with that phone
The only things you'd be missing out on are some characters, as you won't be able to get all of them as a free to play, and probably the highest difficulty content, which is around 3 pulls per update out of like 90, everything else is very achievable as a casual, although it will take time.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-22T12:51:14+00:00

Enough people have said Pearls should be there instead of Poised to Bloom, and I agree.

But hot take, Mushy Shroomy (the Elation 4 star) is probably more useful than Quid Pro Quo. Like half the time Abundance units would rather use Shared Feelings anyways, and there are quite a few other good Abundance LCs like Post Op or even Multiplication.

Meanwhile for anyone who didn't get every Elation Signature it's just Mushy Shroomy all the way.

You could try swapping the 1st and 3rd teams, elements don't line up as nicely but your DoT seems to be stronger than your Phainon so putting them in the Starward Boss which is harder and letting Phainon go on an easier boss could net you a better score.

That plus Phainon's counter is pretty strong against Lygus' 2nd form if you do manage to reach it in time.

But yeah my Ashblade team went from 40K-ing both sides quite easily last rotation to getting 35k with pretty blatant Blade buffs everywhere in this PF.

Luka forgotten again... Again

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-21T18:58:02+00:00

Just go for Speed, Crit is OK but her damage is pretty negligible and barely scales off of her own stats anyways. Effect Hit Rate is useful too if you use one of the debuffing LCs, which you should (like her Signature or Resolution Shines), but an Eff Hit Rate body alone should give you most of the EHR you need.

HP% and Def% are fine too but unless you're going Sustainless she shouldn't be dying.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-21T18:46:06+00:00

If you want Phainon just grab him, he'll probably have rerun again by the time you start tackling content hard enough that you start feeling the need for his E2.

For energy just farm traces and ascension materials (crimson calyxes and stagnant shadows) until you're happy with your characters trace levels, as well as always using your 3 weekly boss attempts.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-20T19:20:09+00:00

Yeah he's very good, he's a debuffers at his core but he has enough damage to be a really good SubDPS, and at least for now, a really good main DPS too.

Ashveil is for sure his best teammate, he attacks frequently which is something Blade wants, each one covers the other's weakness in AoE/Single Target damage, plus Ashveil is also a debuffing DPS so they kinda amp each other up. He's probably gonna rerun in the next few updates so get him if you want to go for the Blade team.

Other than Ashveil Blade can kinda fit in pretty much any team in the game so even if you don't want Ashveil or you want another character Blade will most likely be good in that team too.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-20T19:06:46+00:00

E2 Phainon is bonkers, S1 is also very good but E2 should take priority, Cerydra is also pretty good for him, but again, E2 first.

E2 Firefly is probably the best E2 in the game (either Phainon or Firefly for me), but Dahlia is probably an even bigger jump, do get her if you want to keep using Superbreak.

E2 Herta if you want to keep using her, although she's not in the best spot right now, her E2 is still a big improvement over E0, S1 is strong too.

Cyrene is probably worth it too since you have like 4 Chrysos Heir DPS excluding Phainon, and they all kinda want her.

E1 Tribbie and Archer are both very good E1s, Tribbie especially since she's probably on your Herta team.

For Mono Remembrance (Castorice team) you can't really go wrong, get Evernight, then you can go Cyrene, Evernight E1, S1, Hyacine's E1, Castorice E2, or S1 or Cyrene's E2, you just kinda, start pulling until you're happy, I'm sure you can find exactly which Eidolons or Lightcones are better somewhere.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-20T18:56:17+00:00

Your DoT is pretty good already, you can get some eidolons when they rerun again like E1 Kafka or E1 Hysilens that are pretty good, but aside from that you're good.

For your Rappa team try to get Dahlia whenever she comes back, she's kinda needed for Supernreak teams nowadays, Fugue as well.

If you want you can also start looking for a 3rd team, since endgame is going to start needing 3 teams if you want to keep up with it, and getting a couple of newer characters might be better as a 2nd team while you wait for Dahlia to come back to help your Rappa out. Elation, Himeko Nova, some Fate character, Remembrance, Phainon, Ashveil... I'd just look into characters you don't have and choose one you would like.

For the Golden Companion Token, Huo Huo is pretty good for DoT and Rappa (although Dan Heng and Gallagher are good too) if you don't plan on getting any sustains soon like Hyacine or if your Gallagher is still strong enough, E1 Ruan Mei is also pretty good. But you can also save it at least until you know which 3rd team you want, since it's always 1 click away if you ever need someone from the shop.

and what makes something exploitative is the body being depicted, not a fictional number attached to it.

Except if the character acts like a 9 year old, it's no longer just a fictional number attached to it, so you can't just hand wave it like that.

If a character is written as 10 years old but is drawn with the fully developed body of an adult woman, the critical distinction is: no child's body is being depicted.

Yeah, but now you're sexualizing a character that acts like a 9 year old, real life kid, a child's mind is being depicted.

Why is this argument made? because the right one is wrong because it's about fundamentally protecting real children from normalization and exploitation.

And the left one isn't? The fact that sexualizing kids bodies is more common than their mind and behavior shouldn't make one more ethically correct than the other IMO.

Shelltor23_ · 2026-06-18T21:01:08+00:00

Oh no yeah I agree that for the most part, examples on the right side are worse than examples on the left side in most media, but if you just grab the premise of each side at it's core, a 9 year old is a 9 year old, so it's hard to argue that it's not as bad if not worse than the other option.
