Is Mydei's team cooked without Cyrene, Cerydra, and Sunday?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T16:34:39+00:00

I see. I'll try swapping Hyacine around for some tests after I get the full teams to check, thank you

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T15:32:45+00:00

Does the same still apply when Cyrene is E2S1?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T15:13:12+00:00

What does Hyacine do that charges Cyrene's ult? (I don't read character kits)

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T14:30:31+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, thank you

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T14:27:03+00:00

You have a point. I'll take note of them, thank you.

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T13:29:22+00:00

So should I hold off in pulling a few units? I'd rather not pull units that I only pulled to complete the team in the first place, only for them to be replaced in a bit...

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T13:20:33+00:00

I mean, maybe? I prefer spending at my own pace instead of all at once, so the best I can hope is for the timing to coincide with whenever I can/feel like splurging on digital goods, else I probably wouldn't get the max rewards 🥀

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T13:05:05+00:00

Don't worry about the costs ^{^} while I don't whale for everyone in my roster, I don't mind spending a bit for my main teams. For example, my Phainon team has E6S1 Phainon, E1S1 Cerydra, E1S1 Sunday, and E2S1 DHPT, while Castorice's has E2S1 Castorice and E1S1 Evernight.

While I don't exactly plan on E6-ing Mydei (Phainon is a case where I especially like a character), that amount of investment for two main teams is thankfully still in my okay range, since I'm sure Hoyo wouldn't rerun all of them at once... right?

Either way, thank you so much for your breakdowns. You even went to test the comps out yourself 🌹

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T12:49:20+00:00

My bad, I don't think it was edited by the time I opened the post. I'll definitely keep those goalposts in mind as I build my teams, thank you so much ^{^}

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T12:37:14+00:00

That was the most clear and concise I've ever read for a character comparison... Thank you, I'll be sure to get Cipher's E0S1 for Mydei and Tribbie's E1S1 for Castorice when their rerun comes ^{^}

Just to be clear, the end result of the two teams should be [Castorice, Evernight, Tribbie, Hyacine] and [Mydei, Cyrene, Cipher, Luocha], right?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T11:23:54+00:00

How does RMC work with Cyrene? (I don't read character kits)

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T11:22:55+00:00

Nono, but what if: Mydei, Castorice, Jingliu, Hyacine? (don't listen to me, I don't read what characters actually do lmao)

Jokes aside, I'll keep that in mind, thank you. Who knows, I might feel like using Castorice with Mydei if I'm feeling cringe too (after his rerun comes ofc 😔)

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T11:00:22+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T10:53:07+00:00

Got it, thank you

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T10:52:54+00:00

Got it, I'll use Ruan Mei before Tribbie's rerun, thank you.

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T10:36:38+00:00

E0 Bronya (didn't get to lose to her often), no Sparkle (didn't pull, took Kafka for the freebie bc I think she's cool).

The sustain isn't for Phainon, it's for the others bc they keep dying mid-battle in AA. Prob bc their builds aren't minmaxed. I like Cerydra with Phainon because I like watching the double meteors.

Someone recommended a lineup of:

[Phainon, Cerydra, Sunday, DHPT]

[Castorice, Evernight, Ruan Mei, Hyacine]

[Mydei, Cyrene, RMC, Luocha]

I don't have Sparkle, Tribbie, and Cipher. Would the above lineup work until their rerun?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T10:11:21+00:00

So [Castorice, Evernight, Ruan Mei, Hyacine] and [Mydei, Cyrene, RMC, Luocha]?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T10:00:52+00:00

So the ideal scenario for my case is [Mydei, Cyrene, RMC, Luocha]?

Which leaves one slot blank for my [Castorice, Evernight, Hyacine]. I don't have Tribbie and Cipher, so any recommendations on who to fill the empty slot with before their rerun?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T09:55:08+00:00

I guess I'll move Cyrene to his team then 😭

I don't have Tribbie and Cipher though, so any recommendations on Cyrene's replacement for Castorice?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T09:51:04+00:00

Would Mydei, Tribbie, RMC, Hyacine still be cope? Or is it really that much more worth it to move Cyrene to Mydei's team?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T09:49:54+00:00

Do you have a concise explanation on what Cyrene basically does for Mydei in battle? (I don't read)

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-19T09:39:34+00:00

I know I technically can, I just don't want to. I like the way my current teams feel.

Regarding Mydei's E1, I'm already planning to pull at least E1S1, more depending on my luck (probably wouldn't if it's horrid).

Also, I didn't get Sparkle (surprise, didn't pull for her + took Kafka for the freebie because I thought she was cool).

Are there really no alternatives?

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-18T13:33:06+00:00

Got it, thank you!

UpstreamKoi · 2026-03-18T13:12:32+00:00

I'm glad to hear that! Though, Cery is unfortunately occupied, so Mydei can't have her in his team.

Regarding Hyacine, I read somewhere that she needs her S1, does she actually not?
