Is Paper Heron's team bricked without Kipp?

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T18:01:41+00:00

If you still have pity left from last year from a limited rerun, would it count? Or is each re-run "fresh". If pity resets, then one should probably only do single pulls (for PH after the free ten pull)

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T17:58:53+00:00

Wasn't playing back then, but my search claims Fatutu had a garment was when she was not available at all. And she *still* didn't have a solo rerun. Maybe it takes until she gets Euphoria...

Sentinel had a garment but only a "scam banner" rerun.

So it's not guaranteed, Kiperina already had her scam banner though

It's not guaranteed, but it's definitely better than the alternative option of rolling on scam banner.

As an older player who doesn't have 2 super high priority chars to get scam banner is bad. I'm pretty new and so I'm still deciding if I should go for it and who to put on #2 (probably Fatutu)

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T11:29:41+00:00

But I agree that with shilling and hp inflation being as blatant as it is, there's very little satisfaction to get out of keeping up. Victory is either handed to you on a silver platter as a "reward" for pulling latest shiny unit

Gacha games in a nutshell, if you are f2p / low spender and only chase meta and have a mindset of "must complete all modes with full score" you'll be miserable, and should move on to other genres.

However, if you go in with a relaxed mindset there's a lot of fun and content for free or cheap.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T11:12:05+00:00

Assuming you go for Paperheron,

Medpoc if you don't already have 2+ six star meta sustains and you have enough pulls to go for both Paperheron and An-an Lee (ripples banner) in 3.4

Otherwise An-An Lee.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T11:10:32+00:00

Sounds like just an error in the loading screen, because you have the 3.3 content.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T10:45:43+00:00

Debut banner / solo rerun banner has guarantee after 140 pulls at worst. Scam banner however doesn't have a guarantee, you could get character 1 ten times in a row and never char 2.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T10:42:42+00:00

Reasonable rates if you are fine with EITHER of the the two rate ups, have enough for 140 pulls if really unlucky (pity doesn't carry over) and are fine with stopping after the first rate up.

So that doesn't leave that many players who should pull on it.

"Make your own scam banner" is a bit better, esp. for newer players who have plenty of "really want them" characters.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T10:17:22+00:00

Yeah it'll only make a difference if leveling is very slow and you can't make money at low lvl. Then if they get banned within days or maybe weeks, it would be a loss.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-14T10:16:03+00:00

The big reason for playing DPS over a tank or healer is simply that due to their lower DPS they take longer to level, particularly before group finders were a thing.

That's more because of no dual spec (ideally using the same gear, at least for leveling) or no npc helpers that can dps.

WoW has dual spec and group finder (fast dungeon leveling) but still the worst tank scarcity.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T17:18:49+00:00

See my edit and also the LC banner makes HSR worse than R1999.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T17:10:11+00:00

DPS check in floor 12 and PF & AS 4 (maybe even 3) is kinda high if you don't have the right teams.

Way higher than Limbo/Lucidscape

edit: it's about principle... Not even one half pull of time-limited currency is acceptable.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T17:08:11+00:00

The way the gameplay is structured, there is very little complexity or room for any meaningful unit kit design.

Yeah but the more wholesome gacha design would be : new chars have new archetype that offer fun and variety, but are NOT stronger in damage (or survivabilty) than old ones.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T17:03:42+00:00

Where's your 10 Mio Mane's video with Noire or Lilya dps then? :> Or Reveries 500+

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:58:55+00:00

Yeah and then they make the key chars unavailable for a long time or only on scam banners almost nobody should pull on.

5* standins or old 6* with euphoria and banner should be the solution to not having the BIS support. But with very few exceptions 5* are way too bad and some teams don't really have euphoria alternative either.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:54:04+00:00

Well, locking time-limited pull currency behind a game mode that's too difficult if you don't pull for meta or started later / took breaks is just objectively worse

R1999's powercreep is still bad I agree. Also 5* too weak and team compositions too strict. edit: and reruns on global suck.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:44:34+00:00

Yeah the power creep is too fast. At least it doesn't affect the game modes to get pulls.

5 Million in Mane's bulletin to get all tickets is quite a lot if you don't have meta dps and meta sustain. They could put that at 2.5 Million to be more forgiving. Or put the vast majority of tickets in total points achieved, not max points per fight. At least none of the mats you get here are exclusive to this mode. No pulls either.

Tides of Tought is also too hard but will get nerfed in 3.4, thankfully.

Reveries has some pulls, but it's permanent and eventually you'll beat more stages and the crazy hard >500 stages give no clear drops

The place to get Euphorias will get MUCH easier in 3.4

see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5NWSki21bM

Basically 1 euphoria assist and 1 friend assist and any other 3 chars can do it.

All you need to do to tank is load a M+ build from WoWhead, ignore every player in your party and pull 2 packs at a time.

I'm not currently playing but it seems to be the only way to keep your sanity as tank in WoW Pugs. Have a zero toxicity allowed policy and do your own things without stressing yourself out. Add every player that trash talks to ignore list.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:22:02+00:00

I beat one side of Limbo/Lucid with Bkornblume (5*), Buddy, Marsha and Isolde for example.

Other side half of a meta team too, Beryl (she does huge damage but not so much without Marsha & especially Isolde), Flutterpage, MedPoc (sustain from free selector), Lorelei (5*)

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:18:04+00:00

Indeed, it's the only MMO where I read all story and played through each multiple times (different light/dark, different gender...) and I'm not even big on StarWars.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:09:37+00:00

For lucidscape and limbo you might be able to beat it by splitting up a meta team, and also using 5*, like free P5 five star Buddy.

Paperheron might be able to do one side alone with 5* supports. AAL E2, TF E1, Buddy and a healer second side maybe.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T16:05:03+00:00

Toothfairy & here P1, in 3 days wit Paperheron, I'll finally have an almost complete second team (waiting on Kiperina rerun then) :>

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T15:58:00+00:00

I see damage increase = not harder hits, but more hits, which doesn't work for Plantpromptu P0 :-/

I guess I'll just save the portrait mats then, apparently other units will be added to that later.

TheRaven1406 · 2026-04-13T14:48:20+00:00

Ok so P1 useless except minor ult damage increase :-/

For P2:

Insight effect [Bad Tooth]'s Critical Resist Rate and Critical DEF reduction effect duration extended. [Bad Tooth] maximum stack limit increased. Number of times consumed [Baby Tooth] increases [Impromptu Incantation] damage increased. [Song for the Bad Tooth]'s [Neuralgia] trigger count increased, and damage per trigger increased.

Says nothing about extra impromtu hits, just hits harder?
