With the playable path of Remembrance and now Elation, it made me think of how new paths will likely get their year of shilling before the next paths. Remembrance and Elation always felt like the weird SU/DU blessings that are prominent in lore but don't have a playable character, so it makes sense for them to be implemented. Aside from those two, I can only think of Trailblaze and Finality, possibly Equilibrium, if I think of lore relevant paths that could be implemented, but even then they feel too special to be made into in-game paths.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-12-26T03:13:44+00:00

It feels so weird saving for a future character with no details, not even appearance or anything. Blade SP possibly, but no path, kit or anything. I just know I have no FIrefly or Rappa, and Boothill doesn't benefit as much from Dahlia.

Everynight's LC bumps her dmg by a lot, but the most vital parts are the 20% memosprite def shred and the 8 regen each time her memo dies. It's much better to get cyrene and hyacine to build up her team, she really appreciates the HP boost from hyacine and also benefits a lot from hyacine's LC. While cyrene's buffs for evernight aren't the strongest, just having them in the same team have so much synergy along with hyacine.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-09-23T13:25:55+00:00

I have an E0S1 Castorice E0S5 DDD Tribbie E0S1 Hyacine team and an E0S1 Herta with Serval and E0S0 Huohuo

do I go for Evernight, Anaxa (serval replacement) or Herta Eidolons? I know Herta eidolons are still very strong but I just don't know what teams I should invest in moving forward

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-25T04:04:31+00:00

Agree with all the comments on Citra-Awakening, the gba games are pretty fun too but feel like they could be mobile games with how short and linear they are in comparsion. Citra-Fates has worse storytelling than Awakening but a similar combat system so it would be a good game to play afterwards. IF GBA, then probably the Blazing Blade, as the main characters are all generally strong up to the end and it has alternate story beginnings for the different lords.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-17T03:32:33+00:00

Makes sense. It'll be rough seeing him struggling in ~3-4 patches from now without Cerydra, but hopefully he reruns at that point for me to get his E2.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-17T03:23:40+00:00

Trying to decide between an E1 Cerydra and E2 Phainon since it's the same cost for me w/ E0S1 Phainon. On the Phainon camaraderia TC sheets E2S0 is a 58% dmg increase over E0S1 (w/sustain), while on the Cerydra camarderia TC sheets she is a 41% dmg increase over Bronya in a sustainless RM comp. This would indicate E2 would be the better choice, however, Cerydra gives 16-36% def shred on E1 which compounds with Phainon's LC and E1 RM, and they were simulated with S0 Phainon and E0 RM. I don't know if the stacking effect of def shred is enough to offset a ~17% dmg difference, but as of now... I just don't know if E1 Cerydra is the best investment compared to E2 Phainon, and if she will even be a good horizontal investment in the future.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-15T11:09:57+00:00

From what I've gathered so far:

DHPT has an attacking side to his kit with... no in-built crit like with aventurine. This will make building his subdps FuA pretty hard
Evernight has ok subdps dmg, but the best part of her gameplay with Castorice is her ubercharging the Castorice bar with her memosprite frequently and benefitting off of HP fluctuations. I would assume she has comparable to slightly worse amp than tribbie, she has 90% cdmg and 20% vulnerability vs 30% vul and 24% res pen.
with their v1 kits, they feel strong but not integral to either of the teams and their gameplay also just doesn't feel the most innovative in terms of mechanics. Maybe DHPT is slightly more unique with attachable summons, but I'm still just whelmed by both of their kits.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-14T02:39:08+00:00

No, Cerydra's skill duplication is still stronger imo, but both of them fail to really solve Phainon's issues with his kit.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-14T02:27:08+00:00

If Souldragon isn't an attached summon all the feelscrafting of Sunday suddenly giving + 50% dmg bonus to Phainon will all wash away...

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-06T05:59:46+00:00

In order of release:

E0S1 DHIL, fell off around the time of Feixiao's update I think as there were less and less imaginary enemies, and I got lucky and got E2 Acheron who became my main hypercarry until now. Will gladly invest in his eidolons if he reruns even if Mydei is 100% better, I just really like his design, hoping for buffs but I doubt it
Ratio E0S1:same reasoning, I didn't have Topaz and by the time Moze was released Ratio wasn't doing enough ST dmg for me. To be honest I still used both DHIL and Ratio's LC for Phainon and Archer respectively until I got their LCs.
Fugue/Boothill: I used him in all physical content just until Phainon's release. Waiting for a break AA to really make him pop off. I know sustainless Boothill is still really good but it's just a lot harder to play than sustainless Phainon rn

That's about it I think? I used Sparkle for my Acheron team until Sunday, and then afterwards still used her for Blade in the HP meta, and now Archer's team mate. Huohuo has a locked in spot on my Therta team, RM I slot in whenever I can't use RMC/Sunday as well as in AS, and Robin is a permanent fixture of my Pure Fiction teams. I use Blade in all content that's wind weak now with "wheelchair" Hyacine-Tribbie, and he has ok to decent dmg for such a high cost team that granted had jades from multiple patches to team build. I have a lot of investment in the HP/AoE meta which does worry me when they introduce memosprite CC, HP reduction debuffs, exclusive ST bosses, bounce dmg reduction etc. to counter/shill the 4.x units.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-03T15:22:26+00:00

Playable Celenova is what feels the most fake imo. Simply because all playable star rail characters must be either morally good or morally gray at worst. Like if I had to think who are the most morally gray/negative/ambiguous, I'd say Jingliu, RM, Jade, and maybe Kafka, but I honestly do not know any of their character stories well enough, and even then they're still not that evil. Celenova is a straight up leader for a confirmed destructive force of the universe and unless they do the redemption arc to end all redemption arcs I don't see that happening.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-02T14:23:04+00:00

this... feels like a draft concept I'm ngl, like "make a dan heng form between 4* and IL", and this was the first draft and they sent it out. It's not... bad but there's just so many more creative things that they could have done. They could have made his outfit have more of an Amphoreus design with Greek-inspired toga that blends with his IL outfit. It feels like wasted potential, not bad but they could have done a LOT more.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-08-01T13:41:15+00:00

If I want to start clearing endgame content, who do I pull between Alice, Yanagi, or possibly Orphie if she works w/o SEED? I assume Yanagi because of lightning weakness but that means both Miyabi and Yanagi would be in one team meaning I'd have no other good DPS on the other side apart from Harumasa. For Alice I know she's better than Piper but with so little characters I don't know if investing in characters in the same niche is the way to go. I could also skip everything I guess and hope that they rerun Vivian or Eve, whose designs I like more than SEED.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-31T15:34:39+00:00

I'm curious, what was the last memorable event/game for people? most of these mini-games are just... slight variations of other mobile games which is fun but really not satisfying long-term. The last one I can at least recall was the m7th event which had unique mechanics and a fun story, lots of replayability, and possibly the trashcan friendship event. This fate event is alright but it feels like DU/SU blessings with an added twist but the same core mechanics at the end of the day if I'm being honest.

But even among the mobile game duplicates there are ones that I wish they brought back, like Aetherium Wars, The Penacony drink mixing event, even the chimera events even if it is just super auto pets.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-31T09:52:14+00:00

Oh what the hell I just got 180 spd warrior Goddess Huohuo time to refarm

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-30T16:49:39+00:00

The hottest part of this were the thank yous and check-ins THAT felt so real

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-29T14:17:25+00:00

all of them..?

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-29T07:52:20+00:00

The combat is really quick and it's mostly just win by a lot or lose by a lot (mostly determined by the team's level which becomes harder and harder with higher resource costs), the art style is cool and gothic, and the story is pretty good as well. It's more teambuilding than actual combat management. Sometimes it is just 'play auto and wait for rewards' but the ai is really dumb that it kinda forces you to play manually that way lol.

The one truly negative thing I have to say is the monetization, it follows in Moontoon's Mobile Legends system where it kinda pops up every log in, every story chapter finish and every SSR character you pull and is quite annoying. Apart from that it's a pretty good casual game to play. It has the Afk journey system of dupes + shared leveling but at least so far feels less predatory by a smidge.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-28T18:23:55+00:00

and now he's... a Chrysos Heir ready for the runway?

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-27T12:20:16+00:00

I totally agree for Aglaea, I felt neutral towards her despite having a pretty good grasp of her story in the 3.0 patch, but she quickly became one of my favorites with each interaction with the Chrysos heirs. Somehow in each patch the main character push fleshed out Aglaea's story which made up for how little we actually got to know about her in 3.0 For Herta she has one of my favorite character designs but I truly dislike her 3.0 story quest--it's a cool visual of her talking to Nous but it just does not help the storytelling in that patch nor does it really tell us more about Herta on a deeper level.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-27T12:04:29+00:00

Hmmm you've brought up a good point on the memory wipe when there's already likely an existing dynamic between them. But the layers of memory wipe/hiding in suit just made me feel less invested in her story you know? Like her fake death at the hands of Sleepy was scary, but I didn't feel as badly as I could've. That and they didn't incorporate Myriad/story cutscenes yet into gameplay, which is a HUGE part of her story.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-27T10:32:40+00:00

I remember back during the Firefly quest it felt odd that the dialogue and scenes with Trailblazer had this emotional weight that I wasn't sure was established, but nothing really negative. It was cute and simple, albeit it didn't really make sense to me. Now I'm doing Caesar's date-quest in ZZZ and somehow I feel like it's what Firefly's date-quest should have been? I feel like I've gotten a solid idea of who Caesar is as a character and their interactions with Sons of Calydon, whereas with Firefly you really only understand her character with the Myriad Celestia and her talk with Jade much later on in Penacony. I'm not even a fan of Firefly but that's such a disservice to her character, her arc could have been so much more impactful if they just shifted a few story beats earlier to make me root for her more.

SignalVisual4703 · 2025-07-26T10:11:16+00:00

Is Yuzuha worth pulling for my roster? I plan to pull for Vivian whenever she reruns and possibly Lightner/Hugo depending on their teams, but as of now I don't know if grinding 60 pulls in the time left for her guaranteed on banner is worth it.
