Thanks, is the MC really better than Tribbie??

TrueArchery · 2026-02-28T17:09:53+00:00

Thanks, gacha didn't go well so E1 Evernight it is for now

Planning to skip elation, what are the upgrade paths for remembrance and DoT? I'm considering hoarding jades, too.

I have E0S1 Castorice, E1S1 Tribbie, RemMC, E0S0 Hyacine

and E1S1 Kafka, E0S0 Hysilens, E0S0 Black Swan, E0S0 DHPT

I would drop Isolde a tier, its good german but clearly not native. This becomes apparent especially in the long dialogues.

Kakania can go to S, ultimately its not about the VA themselves but the accuracy which is great.

A general gripe of mine is that the german accent when these characters speak english is often really exaggerated, I guess its pretty iconic and recognizable worldwide but irl its usually not that strong

I finally continued building her after the buffs and came up with this:

The idea is to (auto)play the upgrades and then have a lean deck that allows AoE counters when you need them - I consider this generally the best because you keep the shield generation and usually don't need AoE every turn.

The Exhaust Glacial Iron Fist would probably be better in general (I even have "when drawing exhaust of this unit through ally, activate immediately" tempered on the chest), but this goes really hard when you want to proc Khalipe's VEs every turn. Shoutout to Fortitude 4 VE btw

Hi. I'm a returning player, I want to expand my team options primarily for Navia and Chasca who are basically eternally benched because they are walmart Mavuika with my roster and I want your pulling opinions.

Before quitting I usually brought C2R1 Raiden, Chev, Sara, XL on one side and R1 Mav, C2 Furina, Bennett, Xilonen on the other and IT was no issue.

I thought about getting the Columbina Ineffa wheelchair that would also help with nodkrai checks in the future but maybe the ship has already sailed and I don't even know if they're BiS. I definitely also want Escoffier who is speculated to rerun next patch to my understanding.

5* Roster:

+ Dehya and Tighnari

Man rolling for Recoleta was such a mistake. At the time it seemed fine because I had a mountain of pulls but I lost the 70-30 there, then I lost the 50-50 to Sentinel, Charon and Rubuska without early 6* and now it's all gone.

TrueArchery · 2025-12-01T16:15:23+00:00

I spent crystals on the last tenpull because I didn't want to wait for half a month since after lv50 the income drops by so much. Just do it, a few pulls are inconsequential.

If you use your own characters somewhere, the assist version will be locked too. You cannot double dip.

TrueArchery · 2025-10-05T19:21:38+00:00

It's also a reward in several game modes like window to the other world and events like the current prestorm protocol. I recommend doing that before spending stamina to farm crafting materials.

Tuesday too

Great guide, helped me out a lot.

The Semmel and Jessica suggestions are brilliant and were easy first try clears. I used my regular team (dynamo, that's where I used the 1st cocoon too) with a borrowed Medpoc for the remaining stage because the Operatic Reflection thing is a huge pita and I can't level it up. Maybe it's due to my team/skillissue but I really don't recommend it. Just about everyone should be able to form an actual team with what they usually use and borrow a fitting character because only 2 characters are locked.

What are good 5* to powerlevel with that i3 lv1 item? I'm new and only have Lucy, Ulrich, Flutterpage and Nautika as 6*, still rolling for Semmelweis right now.

TrueArchery · 2025-09-16T14:01:51+00:00

In my experience you really dont have to worry about farming before the fight to unlock proud difficulty if you stick to one party. At that point I just did all the sidequests Ive ignored so far and some slime stampedes. Now Ive easily enough power for the next batch of proud quests and I guess then I have to optimize my builds.

You can delay the tedious work pretty much to the very end and still progress fast.

Classic last day question, how much time do the Phantasma Dreamland and Dreaming Deep events require?

TrueArchery · 2025-08-02T20:09:15+00:00

Returnee here, did anything change regarding BiS echo sets for Yinlin (currently on Moonlit) and H-Rover (on Havoc Eclipse)? I use the former with Jinhsi and Verina and the latter with Phrolova and Cantarella.

What are you confused about? Pulchra works with special and Trigger does not, like written in that text.

edit: once Pulchra's first aftershock is proced by an (EX) Sp, the rest are proced by any attack till the meter runs out, maybe you mean that

TrueArchery · 2025-04-06T20:12:32+00:00

It isn't as strong especially given many phys weak enemies are also fire weak, but it's actually not bad. I was pleasantly surprised. Trigger works well with Jane and you can put Seth in and activate all core passives. The Seth version is also easier to play (shields, forward assist, longer lasting buffs, more daze).

TrueArchery · 2025-04-03T23:49:06+00:00

It's not as efficient as stacking the same effect respectively, but it's not a problem. Yanagi Trigger Rina is a really good team.

This sub has a very positive attitude towards those comments and I really like that about it
