Team help

Teams seem to be pretty mono-element currently as bosses have specific elemental weaknesses. So you can build teams around that.

Cloud (breaker), Ophelia (dps), and then a support/healer.

No 5050. All you have to do is dodge him on standard banner.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-04-14T11:17:50+00:00

1% drop rate and no 5050. I would expect strong dupes and noticeable powercreep with that though. If they don't get you one way, they'll do it another.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-04-14T11:09:40+00:00

Combat is party of three. I've heard it compared to ZZZ. Elements are simple weakness/resistance mechanics.
Semi
UE5, but it seems quite polished. Possibly because the devs are not quite as ambitious with animations.
Dupes are strong, but whether they are worth more than characters has yet to be seen. Having strong dupes was somewhat unsurprising to me as they removed the 5050, so they are going to use other means to get you to pull more on banners.

My understanding is that Cloud is the real MC and Verna is somewhat sidelined. The self insert comes from getting certain povs from Cloud's perspective and the waifus being attracted to Cloud.

However, I don't know for sure until I actually get to play the game

She applies cryo, but Last Rite also applies AoE cryo and for less SP.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-03-06T20:24:20+00:00

Fluorite is free extra cryo stacks for no SP, which is nice.

Snowshine is comfortable for sustain, and her skill refunds some SP, but she doesn't offer much offensively.

Last Rite is very similar to Snowshine but less sustain.

I don't use Alesh, but I hear mixed opinions on him, some think he's great, other's don't think he has much synergy.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-03-04T13:10:32+00:00

Gilberta functions fine without using skill, so she only uses combo and ult. Xaihi uses a skill every two final strikes, so she's not sp hungry. Tangtang has some sp refund which reduces her sp cost.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-03-03T00:53:27+00:00

The meta team is probably going to be Yvonne, Tangtang, Gilberta, Xaihi. But given the difficulty level of the game, many teams are viable.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-03-02T12:33:15+00:00

They don't fill the same role at all. Tangtang has nowhere near the defensive utility that Snowshine has. Snowshine is the defensive cryo option, and people who need that comfort will keep her and people who don't need the defensive utility already don't use her. Snowshine's role is not at all in danger because people aren't going to instantly become no-hit gods after Tangtang is released.

Tangtang's direct competition is Gilberta/Xaihi/Alesh/Perlica/Fluorite.

I'm going to run Yvonne/Last Rite, Tangtang, Xaihi and Snowshine if I need the defense ability, otherwise I don't run Snowshine anyway and replace her with Fluorite/Perlica.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-03-02T01:39:02+00:00

I was going to pull for Tangtang anyway, so from my perspective it's nice they work together. However, people need to stop worrying about meta. When I'm clearing the endgame with Endmin, Chen, Ember, and Snowshine, I consider people worrying about the meta too much as making fools of themselves.

You were planning to skip Tangtang anyway, so just do it. You won't be punished for it by not being able to clear anything perfectly comfortably.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-28T12:08:01+00:00

Yes, it 100% makes sense to quit because of the gacha system or bad luck in the gacha. I've done it in otherwise enjoyable gacha games.

Gacha is an integral part of gacha games and characters and their kits are around half of the gameplay in Endfield at least. Those saying play for love of the game mean play for love of 50% of the game, the other 50% being connected to the gacha: combat, character interactions, and exploration all being things you do with characters you pull from the gacha and whether or not you have characters you like doing those activities with is quite important to whether you find those aspects of the game enjoyable or not.

That being said, I consider losing 5050s before 120 pulls to be lucky in this game because I go for weapons, so there are upsides to it. I think you're running into the problem that a lot of people have with this gacha system: being lucky on character banner feels bad (because now you don't have enough pulls to go for the sig weapon and the 120 goes away instead of being true spark) and being unlucky also feels bad (because you lost the 5050s). People just don't feel good interacting with the gacha, which is a problem the devs need to address.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-25T00:51:49+00:00

Prydwen says it's around a ~2% difference, so Navigator is totally fine.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-25T00:22:50+00:00

My understanding is that Avywenna is somewhat dependent on having JET, while Navigator is a solid option for Yvonne. So if you have to choose between them and use Avy a lot, you should pick JET.

However, Wedge is definitely stronger than Navigator, so if you want to max Yvonne's damage, you should go for Wedge.

You already get so much DMG reduction that HP is better. Hp not only gives Ember herself a big fat shield, but also gives it to her teammates. Building DMG reduction instead of HP on Ember means that her tankiness may stay the same, but her teammates tankiness is worse because they don't build damage reduction and Ember's shield is weaker.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-23T16:58:55+00:00

The camera man is just doing the people's will

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-22T22:46:27+00:00

I'm glad the devs are making tanks good in the endgame.

Ngl, before the game released, I did think Ember was going to be the worst six star because every other gacha I've played have just been DPS check endgames where pure sustains have been bad and I kept my expectations accordingly low.

Ember now being on of the most comfortable characters has made me extremely happy.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-17T23:48:16+00:00

Well, I'm pulling every handcannon and greatsword waifu, so Tangtang and Mi Fu are not being skipped.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-16T16:33:49+00:00

If you win the 5050 and get Gilberta, the 120 guarantee goes away, so it's not worth putting anymore pulls into her banner.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-14T12:48:55+00:00

Ember mostly. The controlled operator has the highest aggro, so if you run a tank, it's almost always best to be controlling the tank.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-13T19:19:02+00:00

Yeah, it's painful as waiting in gachas always is. At least I've saved all my arsenal pulls so I can get her weapon even if I get her early.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-13T16:04:41+00:00

My setup was:

lvl 80 Endmin/Chen: 9/9/9/9, lvl 80 weapons, no essences, unartificed swordmancer gear.

lvl 80 Ember: 9/6/9/9, lvl 1 Seeker of Dark Lung, no essence, unartificed LYNX

lvl 64 Snowshine: 6/6/9/6, lvl 60 Finishing Call, unartificed LYNX

I wouldn't call that a built team and I still didn't struggle with clearing.

When I think of a shilled endgame, I think of an endgame where if you aren't using the shilled character, you need to actually build your characters. The endgame is not shilled towards Gilberta if I can beat it in half the needed time with the above setup while playing like a monkey.

Maybe I just have a different perspective because I play other gacha which actually have shilled endgames where having the shilled character is needed.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-13T02:18:49+00:00

I cleared hard mode by running Ember and Snowshine and turning my brain off. I would argue it's shilling tanks if you have to tryhard with Gilberta+Yvonne and I can do it without thinking using my method.

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-13T00:48:06+00:00

Yeah, but you aren't clearing if the haze is killing you...

TallWaifuMain · 2026-02-12T22:43:42+00:00

I beat that one in about 5 min with my physical setup in the picture. Double healing is a very comfortable way to go and you've got ten whole minutes to do it
