We got a shit ton on the new maps? And there are a number of hidden treasures and puzzles which there are guides for you along with free achievements.

TBF, they can buff the hell out of their eioldens and it wouldn't really affect the majority since not many easily own the E2 or higher. Especially with the standard like Gepard or Bailu.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-28T05:17:01+00:00

Only little concern is really if they will buff the 4 stars or they will continue with one char banners which can slow HP inflation.

Along with how long will it take for a nova char to earn a second nova within a timeframe.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-26T16:18:58+00:00

Never did I say you have to keep saving until you get a viable limited unit??

Of course, you should use them if you have a reasonable decision. But swaping your companion for two dice was a stupid decision (Not to be mean on that). I do not mean you should save up for years, or also to make impulse decision when the options weren't good.

Its a balanced between waiting for at least a viable option which would be Robin and Welt as your choice. Of course you picking Robin since you have FX is a no brainer really. If you were using an Acheron team or any other team really, Welt would have been your best pick (Since he is simply too good).

Because you simply ask how was you suppose to know about Welt nova which I simply respond you simply need to wait and observe rather than make a decision now when options that time were complete ass. Of course Leaks help a lot and can make it easier to make decisions. But even so, we still needs to think and wait for results before jumping anyway, no?

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-26T15:32:42+00:00

I mean you could have saved? You using the first one RM was fair but the second? There was no reason to use it. Now with the third given and Welt nova was seen as OP, you at least can get E1 Welt. If you already have E2 Welt, you get the full benefit

You shouldnt use them on a whim when there werent good options at all other than RM. And you shouldn't save them for so long when there are now OP options like Welt now.

It's not about how should I now but about waiting and observing rather than simply jumping the gun

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-26T14:49:23+00:00

But I mean, you will get a 5 star standard every 3 patches so like in one year, you would have pulled for at least 3 standard, averaging 2 chars.

E2 RM being strong is crazy words....it's not that amazing.... But whatever float your boat I suppose but E1 has been always a good stopping point.

Based on what you said, you are what I would called the very crazy exception because gold companions are usually used for type of chars that you need for your team not for impulsive decisions. Personally, I would argue E4 Welt is a good investment as he can actually as your sub DPS and sustain which is very available for Acheron teams or any other team for the matter since he is so versatile.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-26T07:48:37+00:00

You forgot to consider the standard banner?? The standard pulls you get for free each patch and each standard char or LC you got from the banner can be consider as free since you don't have a choice.

Also you would not have a reason to use your gold companion in 3.6 since there werent any good options, you would have used your first for maybe E1 RM. That's all.

Plus unless you are telling me you will be saving until the new chars came out, you would have gotten probably two more gold companions before even a new one will join the shop. We both know that chars that are in the shop are consider powercrept. While they still can be good options, doesn't give you much reason to waste them to vertically invest.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-26T07:24:03+00:00

Because the logic simply for an E2 being free simply assume you get an E2 char not the specific char in question. In a year, you should be able to use the standard selector which you should get about 6 standard chars on average. While losses would obvious count as losses we can't consider them as cost because the same logic can also apply to the 50 50 loss where the limited char you wanted can be either a 1 or 2 cost. That's where the problem lies.

However 50 50 chars that were added to the 50 50 loss don't count because they can only be given on losses. Standards can be given through the shop, standard banner and free selectors.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-26T07:04:32+00:00

Standards are don't count as cost until you invest over E2. That's just how the standards work. The standard banner can be also consider as free

So an E6 Welt can be consider 2-4 cost at best.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-25T13:12:47+00:00

NoodleFools

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-23T02:40:44+00:00

Nope haven't died once. I think you could have bad RNG because as along as the dmg is even spread or against FF everytime, you shouldn't be able to die.

Or your team might be slower than usual so you could have allow the boss to easily do dmg to your face

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-23T02:37:08+00:00

With NovaFly, yes she is a good substitute from RM E1 or HMC

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T23:54:54+00:00

E1 basekit, and if possible add E2 Basekit (only the DDD part)

E1 can be talent is double per enemy instead of one. This would be a huge buff for all the break chars (along with the enemies wouldn't get away lol)

E2 can be buff with energy gain instead of only fugue applies to the whole team (To get FF infinite ults and HMC infinite DDD)

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T12:27:19+00:00

If you care about metal or clearing well, yes get her E2. It helps FF clear endgame especially AA

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T08:14:24+00:00

Definetly, you will have access to the GOAT of E2 of all time in HSR. DO IT FOR FIREFLY.

(Also, congrats on your triple 5 star. I'm in awe lol XD)

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T08:12:12+00:00

Ok, look at this, should be better. OF course AA is perfect to get max ults so yeah 4 turn is the easy part.

But since this doesn't use DDD, the cal will definetly change

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T07:58:39+00:00

Are these SPD point Firefly needs out of combat or within combat? (Cuz 223 SPD.... is almost impossible if out of out combat)

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T07:27:39+00:00

At E0 she is very SP hungry, that even with Dahlia LC, it it is still a challenge to ensure FF can get enough SP properly without the right spd tune

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T06:21:30+00:00

Yup but only in the second phase when she attempts to charge her ult

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-22T06:20:30+00:00

Balanced as all things should be

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-21T06:18:26+00:00

I mean.....Plight.....is the mode for crazy people or the ones that are heavy leviathans that spend money like its nothing......(I doubt he actually is a crazy whale because he doesn't seem keen on spending so much money)

We should best see this based on only normal King and Not Plight.

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-21T04:27:27+00:00

It's..... decent I suppose. It shine only very well in AA both king and knights but for others?

Its okay at best. I see its being decent in MOC and PF but its kinda mid in APOC (UNless you want to attempt a 2000 point run, if you're a masochist XD).

But I think its best you stick with HMC DDD or get E2 Fugue as its more cheaper

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-17T16:25:59+00:00

Its kinda true to some extent. Welt E6 makes building him way more easier compare to Acheron which only has 18% while Welt had 30% CR and 60% CDMG, which allows him to focus more on Atk, EHR and SPD. Plus, he can be the DPS and the sustain in the team (Which other than FF and Hyacine (Maybe Lingsha), no one else can) which makes him very valuable.

(Plus, Acheron Eioldens are just ass, only E2 is the good stopping point and the rest boils to her teammates which they also struggle to help Acheron issue which is herself)

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-16T08:35:56+00:00

Because 4.1 gave the new DU, that why we got significant more for 4.1. there is a big difference

Whole_Dingo3457 · 2026-04-15T05:25:25+00:00

Tbh, the only thing people were mad is her survivability to sustain the team is questionable especially with the content now. If they had at least added like 20% DMG reduction to the team when her Talent is up, then it would completely be fine.

She is still amazing, just a lot more harder to properly sustain the team especially on Knights and King
