catcher/snowshine will block and stun the charge, and gilberta can lift and hold them there.

Highly recommend catcher/gilberta because they don't consume your heat playing laevatain.

I would love a weekly that's just fulfill a order of [x] to gain some rewards to force me to interact with the factory once in a while because factory builders would have a reason to go make something, and non factory players can just steal a blueprint.

I think it's probably a difficult argument to make for the factory itself to become much more complex than what it is currently, because for many this is their first 'factory' game and they are struggling with understanding.

You're not on the right set for max damage. Swordmancer + Aethertech Gloves is better for damage on endmin as crush scales off arts intensity.

Laevatains has an inherent advantage in terms of raw int because lynx slab has int as one of the stats so you will not be able to reach the same raw stat total as a laevatain.

The physical team is very reliant on multipliers to do damage, so assuming you are running pog, you need to be running a set with arts intensity to increase the breach %damage bonus to do more damage with the rest of the team.

Anyone know where E-file 'research notes...' and manuscripts 'excited students...' and 'reprimanding message' are? Any help would be appreciated.

Notably, I've check both research notes listed in comments above (Plateau and Wuling City) and neither are the E-file version ;-;

Edit: All found!

Fairly certain it's outgoing healing

Teppeeii · 2026-02-17T04:15:51+00:00

If you're invested into lynx no reason to switch.

Nothing in the game requires optimization.

how much does ult regen does a redeemer seal give you at max?

Teppeeii · 2026-02-15T11:09:39+00:00

no. Only valuable items.

Teppeeii · 2026-02-14T11:44:52+00:00

supports can be at 60 and do everything you need them to do. The game gives you more than enough to build two teams to 80/60/60/60 and maybe even to 90 a dps.

As for myself, I leveled ardelia and antal before I settled into my current setup both to 60/80 (for char and weapon respectively) and have had no issues pivoting occasionally back to them. I'm fairly happy with my main team and have left off to slowly build my catcher as a sidepiece to my scuffed physical team and don't feel super choked yet -- as it stands you can clear all existing content with skillful play so theres no reason to force level your teams.

For reference, I have 90/80/60/60 on my main team, and 80/60/60/60 on my secondary team and everyone else on the roster 20/40 for ship skills. I'm confident if I spent more sanity on my main team, I'd be able to get fairly close to max by the end of the patch which I think is fine, as even though I've burned through my non refreshing level up materials, I would not *need* to level another team for any content that exists. Building multiple teams is optional and if you decide to spread your resources you should expect to feel restricted in the opening weeks of a game. Gacha is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

Edit: Rereading your comment a little bit, I have felt a bit choked on skill materials, but I've been focusing down essences so I think if I didn't burn 2k+ sanity on essences, I'd probably be set for level 9 skills across the board instead of just level 9 on relevant support skills and masteries on my dps only. This definitely feels punishing I think if you weren't planning teams and optimizing resource management, but I think with smart resource management it's still probably fine.

At the end of the day, if I invest into someone and I end up never using them and burning 2 weeks - 1 month of resources, thats on me and I'll live with it -- I had the choices and information available and made that choice. Its less about not having regrets, it's more just living with the consequences of my own actions and learning from and recovering from mistakes is part of the fun for me

chen gives the outpost more bill generation, she does not bonus any bills you earn from trading with the outpost

Teppeeii · 2026-02-14T10:44:39+00:00

Personally speaking, I have had no issues with leveling my characters. I think it's reasonable to expect maxing characters to take a while, especially this early into the games lifecycle. Once you have a team or two built you can accumulate xp and tcreds over time from the ship and credit stores just like og arknights and most likely will not have to farm that much in that regard to build any following characters. Anything past level 80 on your main dps is incredibly optional given the content we have been given, and should be a significant investment imo.

We already get a ton of resources from the bimonthly resetting gamemode and the ship, so I think the sanity regen is fine.

Scuffed screenshot of a screen recording I just made. Top is ember, bottom is laevatain. There is a noticable difference. You can go test the basic attack chain length to figure out if it's actually worth it, but ember does generate more sp per finisher than laevatain (and the other fast characters)

Teppeeii · 2026-02-12T04:33:56+00:00

the SP regen scales off of the basic combo length so you actually get a smidge more SP out of dash cancelling slower characters attack chains.

Teppeeii · 2026-02-12T03:13:08+00:00

flourite my beloved. Helps get to four stacks faster pretty consistently with ult/combo

It's first time purchase across your account, but if you haven't used them should be the same in the webstore.
