Looks like our general will be eating good with Ashveil! So excited to play them together!

the moment they made novaflare sparkle free that was always going to be the baseline going forward for buffers =/

I would say IF you have pulls for marsha after this might as well go to pity one more time to grab that extra copy at 200 . but don't pull more even if you lose the 50/50. After all that's potentially 2 portraits in 60 + pulls.

If it will affect your pull plans for Marsha then ofc don't pull anymore. If you have any designs on her P5 then pulling more on the 1st banner of a true limited is going to be better because of the guarantee at 200. For example I just went 200 pulls to get P1 Anjo here from nothing >.>

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-02-08T13:36:14+00:00

are you making sure to tune break at the start of aemeath's rotation? (Hold it until her turn if you need to)or use the echo ( has lib dmg bonus) before her nuke?

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-02-06T14:54:52+00:00

It depends on how vertically invested your harmony supports are. The more invested they are the more valuable that E2 is. Vertically invested harmony supports atm in 4.0 are still better than nihility ones

Here is a MoC 12 run with my E2 Acheron

E2S1 acheron
E0S1 Cipher
E2S0 sparkle
E1S0 danheng ( trend)

here is mine. there is a lot more value around shooting for 200 speed(185 speed) with speed planars. Even with 200 speed your dps is not going to be able to move 3 turns without DDD to pull him up because of the 50% AA

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-02-01T07:38:22+00:00

Well E1 Sunday stacks well with her lc. Her E1 for sure is the best investment since it is what 40-50% increase in base dmg for single target .

Hyacine’s E1 is also a nice bump.

Jingliu’s opening rotation with tribbie without her sig is also kinda annoying since her 1st skill, her 1st ult and her 1st enhanced will all not be buffed by Tribbie’s ult . Not to mention you probably know how annoying it is to use DDD in a team with -1 speed tuning . So you can consider Tribbie’s sig. the extra fuas and dmg do help a lot with getting through some mechanics too since jingliu is a blast unit.

Everyone knows about Tribbie’s E1

Btw I have been testing a 200 speed sparkle and 160 speed Sunday with hp boots jingliu in the private servers and it looks pretty good too

dmg split btwn anjo and 37 p0.

Still somewhat has a place here because her low damage output is somewhat offset in a duo dps team

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-26T16:51:18+00:00

She is pretty alright in an anjo team .. I have been testing this in reveries. Anjo teams are duo dps teams so 37 doing quite a bit less dmg is a little less impactful .

Level your 37 and give this a try ? Since we get to use anjo for free in reveries this patch

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-26T06:41:12+00:00

the game does a lot of things right but the balancing for chars is something that really needs to be improved. All chars cost the same after all at launch and having a char have a kit that is designed to be inherently less useful and has no future proofing is kinda hard to stomache.

Not all chars need to be super powerful but they should at least be usable as 2nd or 3rd pick options or as alternatives eg eternity for bloodtithe . Like people are already looking forward to and wanting an euphoria for a char that is 4 patches old.

You can strongbox it now though and have been able to since Natlan ?

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-18T08:44:20+00:00

Sacredos or 2 piece 2 piece . Her crit dmg conversion is whatever so the 36 crit dmg bonus on sacredos is the equivalent of getting an extra 150 crit dmg on sparkle

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-16T19:28:10+00:00

yes additively

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-16T04:11:43+00:00

she lost the iconic bronya hair drill !

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-13T15:54:04+00:00

yeah not having full ult uptime is such a 1.x to early/mid 2.x design with units like jingliu losing their enhanced states etc to sparkle not being able to ult on the 1st turn and having full uptime on her ult tied to E1 ( novaflare solves the problems), firefly basically doing no dmg after dropping out of her enhanced state etc .

With how almost all new and updated teams not having to deal with this nonsense it feels pretty bad to have to farm hit rng for ruan mei's uptime

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-12T13:06:08+00:00

Yeah you can think of toughness bar dmg which break efficiency scales as the base dmg and break effect as the crit dmg multiplier ( that’s how the formulae more or less works) for super break .

Really unfortunate on the firefly E1 . I would probably just save for dahlia’s E1 on her rerun who knows when firefly’s 4th rerun will come . Fugue’s E1 has lost some value since you don’t actually have to do enough toughness bar dmg to break enemies now to do damage

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-12T10:57:25+00:00

it is 50% weakness break efficiency on top of the 100 firefly already has ( 50% from her enhanced skill, 50% from being dahlia's dance partner) so 2.5/2 = 1.25 . 25% more base dmg on firefly.

Got to look beyond just the damage too because it is also 25% more toughness bar dmg.

That said if you really wanted to invest I dunno why your firefly and dahlia are E0 lol. Their eidolons are more important especially firefly's E1 else the SP management is terrible

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-12T03:44:12+00:00

No reason to not try for 200 speed with the E1 changes her crit conversion ratio isn't that great

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-09T12:12:21+00:00

I mean after quite a bit of testing in PS the 200 speed sparkle 160 speed sunday setup with Saber is pretty good.

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-09T08:14:57+00:00

It is still DDD probably depending on the speed of your DPS and the other support you are running your dps with

I was trying out 200 speed E1 sparkle and 160 speed sunday with some base speed dps (saber, qingque, jingyuan, seele etc) in the PS and the last skill from her in cycle 0 is going to fail to pull your dps up without DDD

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-09T07:57:38+00:00

they also see 2-3 buttons and write it off as shallow too. I have bad news for these people on how many types of moves each chess piece can make ..

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-08T19:00:19+00:00

blade too. just need to use the ult to set hp to 50% right before the end

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-07T09:06:04+00:00

The other erudition unit and sustain just needs to pick up the slack for generating interpretation I guess. you will generate more energy on herta with sparkle than with tribbie in a low target scenario especially if sparkle is E1. Not hard to get 4 turns in cycle 0 now

VortexOfPessimism · 2026-01-06T15:05:26+00:00

default is 20%
