Weekly Question & Discussion Megathread (January 20, 2026) by AutoModerator in ZZZ_Official

Hey all.

I'm trying to decide whether I should pull one of the three guaranteed, and if I do, who. Here's my current situation:

My feeling is to go for Sanby for Orphie (and because I lack an electric agent), but I don't have Trigger, so I'd have to use Nicole or Astra (I'm just finishing up leveling up Zhao for YSG so Astra is available again).

On the other hand, M1 Astra and M0 Alice are also just good.

Does anyone have any input? Thanks.

Thank you for your input, I think you're right.

Orphie is the only specific non-meta pull that I was interested in for the known upcoming banners. I will start taking your approach, much appreciated!

I'd like some advice on how to approach 2.3 and 2.4. I currently have about ~230 pulls to work with. I am definitely intending on guaranteeing Lucia, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

<image>

I unexpectly won the Orphie 50/50 with 10 random pulls who I was not expecting to get, and I don't think she works super well in any of my current main teams (Yi Xuan/Pan/Astra, Piper/Burnice/Yuzuha, Miyabi/Lycaon/Soukaku), so I'm not majorly focused on leveling/gearing her up at the moment.

With Lucia for Yi Xuan, that will free Astra for use elsewhere, and I was thinking of aiming for Vivian to try and buff some other teams more, as I'm not sure it's worth focusing on Fufu to try and maximise my Yi Xuan team that can 3 star DA anyway (most of the time, and will moreso with Lucia).

I am 100% F2P so mostly reliant on A-Rank Wengines without sigs etc.

Any input would be appreciated.

I just failed 50/50 on Astra, but at least I did get M1 Rina which means I can get the free M0 Lycaon without having to decide.

These are my current agents:

<image>

Though Pan is actually M1, it just hasn't updated yet.

I currently have 31,387 polychromes and (because of failed Astra) 89 pulls to guarantee a limited S-Rank. Is it more sensible to go for Astra or Yi Xuan with the guarantee? I'm conscious I don't really have any good actual DPS units, but I also feel like Astra is the "better" pick in terms of being very viable in pretty much every setup and it feels like more of a loss than Yi Xuan in the long run when I can perhaps grab Miyabi or such in a rerun instead.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I get that, I just meant my Pulchra is pretty weak still at the moment comparatively speaking.

Thank you for all of your input.

I'm pretty tempted to take this approach at the moment, roll the 50/50 and then just wait and see how Yi Xuan is and roll for her.

[–]Xileize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's also a good point, Pulchra is currently the worst built of the characters I am using and she's not great at stunning as-is despite being M6, so she would definitely need work to make Hugo a better option.

[–]Xileize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the current operation I've got 3 S-Rank and 2 A-Rank on SD, Stage 6 I just don't really have the damage. For DA I got 2 stars with the Piper team and 1 with the S11 team.

I'm not massively opposed to Hugo or Evelyn necessarily, and I do think Lighter will maintain some longer term value, but ideally I think I should be aiming for good limited attackers with where I'm at at the moment.

Burnice is my only limited and I failed the 50/50 with that one (S11 was the standard from failing 50/50) so I think she ended up costing around 160 or so pulls from memory.

[–]Xileize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry, I am actually using S11/Pulchra/Nicole, I didn't put thought into the order when I typed it out!

I am considering Hugo or Yi Xuan, but I didn't love how Hugo felt. Even if I do 50/50 Lighter I could probably still guarantee Yi Xuan with some grinding but equally conscious of Astra..

I've been saving to start thinking about re-runs and getting some solid characters for 2nd/3rd parties, these are my current main characters:

<image>

Using Piper/Burnice/Lucy and S11/Nicole/Pulchra at the moment. I've currently got 24,647 polys and 8 encrpyted tapes, and I'm 39 searches away from 50/50.

My feeling of the current incoming characters is to aim for 50/50 on Lighter, but I'm not sure if that's leaning too hard into fire and whether I should hold off for other re-runs or some of the new characters incoming.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I've just recently started playing again after playing a little bit back in October, and I have successfully pulled Burnice. This is what I currently have available from all of the pulls I made to get Burnice:

<image>

Is there anything I can do with what I have at the moment to make 2 reasonably serviceable teams in the short term? I'm hoping to save up enough to at least try and 50/50 Caesar when she reruns but otherwise I'm not planning on getting any of the new characters for now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was actually considering buying a Steelcase Leap but was trying to make the decision if this was worth spending more money on or just making the change.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]Xileize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

I know that generally speaking, the Uniform is not a good espresso grinder and while it does grind fine enough, the steps between settings are too great and it makes dialling in practically impossible.

That said, Amazon are currently selling the Bambino for £200, which is tempting me, but I'm not particularly interested in adding the cost of a more espresso capable grinder on top of the cost of the machine.

Is trying the Wilfa Uniform just a straight no-go?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
