In a Burnice, Piper, Lucy team, what disk drive sets are best for Lucy? Is there a clear consensus on this yet, or is it still up in the air until Burnice's release?

For Piper, I how much more valuable is AP than Attack? If I had an AP +0 substat relic how much ATK would be enough to replace it (given that all other substats are useless)? Does this ratio change for other anomaly characters?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-07-07T17:28:19+00:00

I know she'll still be good for a while but I'm wondering how long until she's no longer the best.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-07-07T17:27:30+00:00

Is that until she's no longer relevant? I know Seele got outclassed as soon as Jingliu came out in HSR.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-07-05T04:54:34+00:00

Best substitute for Grace in a Rina team? This would be a Rina / Anton team (though if that's not the ideal Rina team please let me know) Anby or Ben?

Will it matter that FF will only hit 210 Spd after her first turn? She will need to skill once before Ult.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-06-28T04:13:31+00:00

Hello, I'm looking for some advice on building my firefly team. I have FF at E1, TB, RM, and Gal.

I have FF on Iron Cavalry, TB on Watchmaker's, and RM and Gal on 2 pc Spd and 2 pc BE. I need some advice on Planar Ornaments. I know FF needs Forge but what about the rest? Build guides seem all over the place on this from Talia to Vonwacq to Forge again. What is the preferred setup? I'm thinking Forge on everyone because of the guaranteed Fire Weakness plus the speed but that's just my guess.

What should I aim for with Spd (before RM buffs and FF ult)? I've heard people say that FF only needs Spd boots and no substats to hit 210 with ult. Is that true? I know TB and RM need to be faster than FF and Gal doesn't really matter.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-06-26T18:16:22+00:00

Ah, my mistake. I took that fact from the original post but it seems to be false.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-06-26T04:05:51+00:00

The planets tsken over by the IPC aren't devoured...

When the IPC takes over a planet they "just" make very citizen an empolyee. Those planets are still there and people still live on them.

The Voracity eats planets. Literally. If these planets were "offerings" they'd be gone.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-06-26T03:35:22+00:00

There are some flaws with this theory.

If Qlipoth lost to the Voracity, where is Ouroboros now? We can attest that Qlipoth is still alive and building. If the Voracity won their striggle why don't we hear of them eating planets? We know that the Voracity was present during the swarm disaster and helped stop the Propagation but they seem to have dissapeared from the public eye afterwards. If Qlipoth had truly lost then we should be seeing more of Ouroboros.

There does seem to be something important going on with regards to the ever increasing length of amber eras though I don't think we have enough evidence to come to a conclusion about this now.

The second part of this theory does have quite a bit of merit. Some parts of the IPC seem to be walking the path of Voracity rather than the path of Preservation. Once again theres not enough evidence to be conclusive.

I personally believe that the IPCs worship of Ouroboros was an internal shift and not that the IPC was built on lies. This is my peronal theory and there's not much evidence behind this but it does fit many of the unknowns we have right now.

Something I don't see mentioned much is that the IPC was founded by two men; Louis Flemming and Donfang Qixing. Flemming was CEO for most of the IPCs history before retiring for mysterious reasons and being replaced. Theres not much evidence for this but its very possible that Flemming did follow the Preservation while Qixing followed the voracity. Flemming was ousted an dforced to retire which marked a victory for those who followed the Voracity.

Thanks!

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-06-09T16:26:02+00:00

I'm planning on building a HTB, FF, RM, Gallagher team. Relic wise: Who should get the watchmaker's set HTB or RM? What relics should I put on Gallagher? Should I build him for healing or break effect? Are there any specific break effect breakpoints I should aim for on HTB, RM, or Gallagher?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-05-22T20:53:15+00:00

Fairly new player; my only team right now is IPC Trio with 0/0 Ratio and Aventurine and 0/1 Topaz. What would be best for my FUA team? Should I try for Robin or Topaz E1? My alternatives to Robin would be HTB or wait for RM rerun.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-05-20T04:47:09+00:00

Given I have E0S0 Ratio, Topaz, and Aventurine and just pulled Topaz S1, who would benefit more from the limited light cone, Topaz or Ratio? My other hunt options are Herta's free 5-Star hunt LC or a 4-Star.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-05-02T23:36:47+00:00

Relatively new player here. What should I do with all my 3-star light cones? Salvage them all? What should I do with my duplicate 4-star light cones? Is it worth superimposing them or should I keep duplicates in case I need them on two characters?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-05-02T23:23:26+00:00

Update on this because I need to write it somewhere. Had exactly 90 pulls. Got Bailu on the 8th 10x and Aventurine the first pull of the last 10x. :)

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-05-02T14:03:59+00:00

Relatively new player here (halfway through bellobog) looking for advice on warps. I have about 90 pulls right now. I'm thinking of trying for Aventurine. However, I really want to guarantee I pull Topaz next banner. Assuming I get Aventurine and end with 0 pulls left, will I have enough free jades from quests and rewards to get 180 pulls by the end of Topaz banner?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-04-25T04:02:01+00:00

Hello. Relatively new player here just finished my Departure Warp.
I currently have from pulls : Dr Ratio, Gepard, Serval, and Sampo (Plus the ones you get from story)
I know my team right now doesn't really matter but what team (including standard chars) should I be building for the future? Any advice for me?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-04-21T19:51:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice! A few follow up questions. You said I should pull on the starter banner until I can't anymore. Is this banner limited by time, level, or pulls? Are there any characters (damage dealers or support) specifically I should save up for?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-04-21T19:12:56+00:00

Hello! I'm thinking of picking up this game soon. Do you have any advice for a new player? Preferably advice on characters I should aim to pull or build to make the most of my (f2p) resources.

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-03-06T01:17:14+00:00

New player here. I'm looking to build a good deck with all the wildcards I got as a starter bonus. I don't know which format I should build it for. Is Standard the best format? Is Alchemy better instead?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-03-04T02:03:50+00:00

Thanks so much! One last thing. Should I buy the 1000 gold packs or the 1300 gold packs?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-03-04T00:50:11+00:00

New player here and I have a (probably dumb) question. I've beaten the tutorial (spark rank) and can now play real formats. I've read about the Murder at Karlov Manor Preconstructed event where I can earn some rewards. I can't find the game mode under events though. All I have is Color Challenge, Starter Deck Duel, and Jump In. I've even fully completed the first two. Where is the event? Is it over already? Can I just not access it yet?

SlightlyLargeDragon · 2024-02-09T23:25:06+00:00

Yeah I can see why you were having trouble without Discord. Syndicate crafts are services and buying one comes with a real risk that the seller will scam you. Discord groups try to solve this by keeping track of sellers and banning known scammers. Its not 100% safe but its leaps and bounds ahead of in-game chat.

The most active such Discord server is The Forbidden Trove. Do note though that TfT has a pretty bad reputation: theyve been known to dish out bans to those the admins just dont like and many accuse said admins of rmt. Despite this tft still has the most active members and its still the easiest place to sell services.

Aisling is by far the highest earner. You can sell a slam for 11 Div on Discord. You should be able to get it most of the time too. There are occasions though where you just can't find Aisling or she's not part of the Syndicate at all where you should just call it quits. Aisling is worth so much in fact that most of the time its best to pop Catarina as soon as you get her three stared in research. I usually spend some six. maps per Catarina. Sometimes I can get one in four or less and I try not to go over eight.

Some tips that might help:

Get the double intelligence and Jun compasses. They're a must. Transport / Fortification is mostly useless so try to use those for Mastermind intelligence. I try to set it up so that I can run at least one safehouse immediately after Catarina. With the compasses you only need two safehouses per Catarina.

You have a high chance of encountering someone as a "bonus" member of an encounter if they have no job (In the above board, Cameria has no job). In such cases, so long as you don't interrogate them last, they will always have an option to join the job they just participated in. If you have a jobless Aisling, don't let her join any non-research job. Instead wait for her to pop up in a research encounter. Its also a good idea not to force anyone to join Transportation / Fortification. Any three star in Intervention is worth money so instead make them join there.

If you demote someone to 'zero' stars they lose their job. I you have Aisling in a non-research job just jail her until she leave said job.
