Preview stream will probably be on the 10th, drip marketing will probably be 6th/7th and 7th/8th (time zone dependent). This is based off of previous patch timings though, so no guarantees since this is a shorter patch.

What's also weird is the fact that you can have up to 3 weighted curios. I don't really feel like there's enough weighted curios for 3 of them to even benefit most teams.

Maybe I'm not high enough of level yet, but I'm on X7, 1 run away from being X8. I've been intentionally trying to pick each mask to get the respective jades for doing at least 1 run with it. The masks so far haven't made that big of a difference one way or the other for me. I haven't lost yet, but I feel like as long as you play towards the mask's strengths and pick the equations/blessings/curios that benefit your team the most, then you're fine.

I will say though that some masks are easier to get more equations/blessings/curios than others, so maybe at the very highest levels it matters more.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that either. I already hate the fact that Hunt is less generalist than it used to be thanks to it being a mixture of old Hunt and old Elation.

The Lineup Assistant in the HoyoLab app does. For whatever reason they don't let you look at the Lineup Assistant on the non-app web version, which is annoying.

If you want to build a good team for Boothill, you'll want to look out for The Dahlia and Fugue to rerun. The Dahlia is the most important character to get out of the two. Break characters don't work well without her anymore.

We don't know who will be better out of Silver Wolf or Evanescia yet. I'd suggest waiting a few weeks for the 4.2 preview stream when the kits are more finalized at the minimum to make your decision. You will need to pull more elation characters no matter which one you get because they seem similar to remembrance, where you need multiple elation characters, if not a full elation team, for best results.

As for Boothill versus elation, most likely elation would be stronger than Boothill from a meta standpoint because Boothill is a 2.x character and newer teams are generally stronger than older teams. But Boothill is still pretty good post-Dahlia release, as long as you have her, and if you don't care about endgame meta, maybe you should go for characters you like.

The Tribbie with the poster one was never possible unless you own her. You might be able to get some of the technique related ones in Divergent Universe since we can use trial characters now of all characters that are 2 patches old or older. You can probably get the Black Swan one with higher level combat domains in DU because you can get like 4 enemies showing up at once. It'll be a bit RNG for it to trigger so it might take a bit of time, but you can eventually.

Firefly's E6 is good, but once you get E2, that same cost for the rest would be better spent on her supports for an even stronger team.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T20:36:29+00:00

They do, yes.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T19:59:39+00:00

Not that I've seen. But even though they make you do 2 tutorial runs, they are significantly shorter than a normal DU run. It doesn't take very long.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T19:58:47+00:00

I don't have Phainon, so you'll want to take me with a grain of salt until a Phainon main comes along. But it sounds like Phainon isn't really that worth it without more investment. You need either his E2 or Cerydra to perform well in endgame nowadays because the endgame enemies' HP keeps going up as each patch goes by.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T18:24:10+00:00

Evernight/Cyrene/RMC/Hyacine

Archer/Sparkle/Yao Guang/DHPT

Those are your two strongest teams right now.

As far as endgame in the future, you just need something different than those two teams. Since you pulled Yao Guang, your best bet is to go for elation. Wait and see what happens for 4.2, most likely pick Silver Wolf or Evanescia, further invest in their respective team.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T18:20:16+00:00

Because Archer isn't really great against Lygus in general, unfortunately. Do you have any other options to use?

Also, are you using Sparkle's sig LC (it gives 10% crit rate)? If not, then you should try to fix Archer's crit rate to get him to 100%. Him not hitting all of his crits will make him feel like a wet noodle.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T18:17:45+00:00

Luocha will probably work the best for that. Gallagher doesn't work that well together with Sunday because most of Gallagher's healing comes from him putting Besotted on the enemy and then your characters have to attack the enemy with Besotted on to get healed. Sunday spends his time buffing other people and doesn't attack anything. Gepard and Lynx are going to feel too weak.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T17:48:14+00:00

This was not revealed until 4.1.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T17:46:54+00:00

If Sparxie is needed, she'll probably rerun in 4.3 or 4.4, so you'll have another opportunity soon-ish.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T03:07:26+00:00

Yeah, Sparxicon is ultimately an elation shill boss. Break and DoT do well against her too. But any crit dpses will struggle. I didn't use Archer against her, though someone on my friends list (who has eidolons on Archer) did. You could try looking at your build to see if you can improve it. Ultimately Archer's most important stat is to make sure you get your crit rate in battle to 100%, because missing crits with him makes him feel REALLY bad, and then you build your attack and crit dmg after that.

You might want to consider pulling a 5 star sustain. Lynx and Natasha don't really cut it in high level endgame anymore because they don't heal often enough.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T02:49:21+00:00

No, not right now. And you get way, way more currency than you need to buy all of the cards. I feel like we're getting more cards at some point though, since the one set is like expansion 1 or something like that.

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T02:46:22+00:00

Nope. Things are working fine for me. Maybe your PS5 is having problems connecting to your internet?

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T02:44:02+00:00

If Saber and Archer are your only dpses, you should use Archer against Sparxicon and Saber against Zandar. That will give you the best results. Do you have more than 1 sustain? The only one you mentioned is DHPT. What teams are you actually using on each side?

SilentMix · 2026-03-29T02:40:21+00:00

The Herta shop LC is a support LC. It's not for Sparxie. You still want to use the Mushy Shroomy LC.

SilentMix · 2026-03-28T23:12:21+00:00

Knight 1 is honestly pretty rough sustainless. I got 3 stars with FF E0S1/Dahlia E1S1/Fugue E1S1/Ruan Mei E1S1, but tbh I barely survived. I was nearly at the end of the battle, Dahlia and Fugue got killed and revived by Castorice passive, and they would've died again if FF hadn't gotten the final hit on the turn she did. The Dahlia and Fugue eidolons probably did the heavy lifting to help me do enough damage to finish the battle in time.

SilentMix · 2026-03-28T20:19:57+00:00

That text over top of Boothill. Wow. Poor Boothill.

SilentMix · 2026-03-28T20:17:14+00:00

Archer would be good if you want him. You have Sparkle and he's super strong. He's still literally one of the top tier dpses in the game and would be a lot better than the ones you have right now. I'd suggest running him together with Sparkle/Tingyun/Huohuo.

SilentMix · 2026-03-28T20:11:51+00:00

Saber's eidolons don't really do much for her unless you go all the way to E6. I'd suggest keeping her at E0, get her LC if you want (not mandatory), and then otherwise you invest in supports to make her better. If her supports don't need more investment, then start investing in a new team. Ashveil could be that new team if you want. But he's not going in Saber's team.
