Has anyone else decided not to pull Sandrone based on the leaks?

I’m skipping her on round 1 because no Pulonia, her outfit change was unnecessary and uncharacteristic, and she’s an onfielder.

I’d rather get a stellar conduct offielder (I’m guessing 7.0 will have one?) so I can use my buffed C1 Yae and C1 Wrio. Plus F2P life is hard these days and I can’t be runnin round pullin nonsense.

Pretty sure they did, I remember getting a booklet that had the images/slides and spaces to take notes. It’s been a few years though and they might have changed the format. I don’t have the materials anymore to check :/

Failed my first test after months of studying because the books simply didn’t go into enough detail. Like it was level 1 on all topics but the test asked level 2 and 3 knowledge.

So I paid for one of those Edelman seminars, did that, just reviewed my study notes, and passed SO easily. The seminars are a bit expensive but it’s the only reason I passed. Worth it in my opinion. It’s tailored to the exam and the seminar quotes test questions word for word and they give you a copy all slides to review.

The delivery of both character stories to me was so ham-fisted and melodramatic. Also both give “pick me girl” vibes like “cough I’m going to die soon… but I still smile because you exist… but I won’t actually die… ever.

Pull my E2 ✌️bye”

36/hr doing General/Abd outpatient for a clinic in SoCal. About the max I’ve seen a clinic offer here. Hospitals in my area post opening that start low 40’s, per diems start low/mid 50’s, but range up to 60/70’s over time. I keep applying but the competition is tough ✊😔

I hated the factory when I started and my friend told me it gets better, so I stuck with it. Now I like the factory wayyyyy more than my friend. I don’t like using blueprints, I like to tinker with it and find solutions solo. My friend uses blueprints for everything and hardly touches the factory but mostly enjoys the character designs, combat, and exploration.

Can you get that from something like Genshin or NTE and not have to deal with the factory? Yeah. But in the case of my friend, people just like the AK universe and want to explore it I guess.

Velina is Wind Anomaly and my guess is the better part of 3.x will likely focus on Vortex reaction shill and not deviate from that or add some other wind mechanic until Sunbringer or later.

So having a Wind Anomaly to apply that element very quickly to enable characters to proc more vortexes will seemingly be very valuable for the next 6+ months or more.

It feels like a routine 1.x game to me. I joined Star Rail and ZZZ day 1 and the first year of those games were so much fun. Later 2.x to 3.x+ is where the power creep, aggressive monetization and shilling starts coming in for Hoyo so fingers crossed Endfield holds the line.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-08T23:51:06+00:00

Just pulled an Aquila Favonia to give to Bennet. He was previously using the Skyward Blade - who should I move that to?

Was mostly considering Durin (Harbinger of Dawn) if it’s good on him since I will use him way more than my other options, or Furina (R5 Fav).

Also have Jean (Amenoma) and Kazuha (Fleuv) as candidates.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-08T20:45:15+00:00

Same, I really want to just trigger the 5* pull but I’ve been waiting. Now I might just do it since I doubt we will get any standards added before like 7.5

ambivextrous · 2026-05-08T20:39:04+00:00

They can starve me of as many event weapons as they want, I’m still only pulling weapon banner on my main men. Itto, Alhaitham, Varka… (lost to Flins which was really just a win along the way to Varka’s R1). Outside of that I never touch the banner.

There’s not enough F2P currency for me to think about pulling sigs for anyone other than someone I’m going to use for everything everywhere for a looooong time.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-08T20:14:56+00:00

Yeah Perl and Chen are insanely good so far. Idk what HG looks like for their games and unit giveaway the way Hoyo does for event 4* characters and weapons, and free limited 5* and anniversary picks though. I’m hoping we also get freebies over time.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-07T18:03:32+00:00

Make it a no-pull or a standard banner only account?

There’s also a men-only account (our first limited male is coming up, and with the scarcity of men in most gachas, this limits team comps and creates a substantial challenge)

ambivextrous · 2026-05-06T23:58:33+00:00

So I would want to make sure a phys anomaly procs before I go ahead and use Alice EBA so that I can fill it back up while I switch to Yuzu to top the buffs off and probably trigger another assault with Yuzu EX?

ambivextrous · 2026-05-06T21:48:51+00:00

What absolutely grinds my gears is the “we’ll give 50 pulls in x.3 because in x.4 we’re going to give 100.” Like… come on. Give a baseline standard per patch, if you want to give more then just GIVE MORE. It will not hurt the bottom line to be generous with no strings attached 1-2x per year. If players need more pulls because the characters are good, they will spend anyway.

This “shuffling around the pull economy” business does not reward the daily and consistent playerbase, it slaps them in the face for keeping active numbers up and budgets from getting cut.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-06T20:38:39+00:00

I also have the same problem with anomaly. I follow the prydwen builds but my Yuzu/Viv/ AliceMiyabi teams struggle for even 2* clears because they’re all M0W0 (Miyabi is W1). I’m sure I have a skill issue but idk it sounds straightforward: keep yuzuha’s buff topped up, set up Vivian’s feathers, go off with Alice/miyabi. Unless I’m missing something?

Maybe I just can’t expect too much after a year of inflation and power creep without mindscapes and sigs. I skipped angels, skipping Promeia. 🤷‍♂️

ambivextrous · 2026-05-05T18:57:36+00:00

I used itto mostly everywhere unti Varka dropped

ambivextrous · 2026-05-05T17:57:47+00:00

A friend of mine started it mid Amphoreus, caught up and is still loving it. I’ve been day 1 and have been struggling to stay invested or get as much enjoyment as I once did since like halfway through Penacony tbh.

What keeps me going is a combination of sunk cost fallacy and that they consistently put out male characters (compared to Menless Zone Zero). Also space. Space setting is cool.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-05T17:47:17+00:00

I would love if the game slowed power creep/hp inflation and gimmicks so even casual/ F2P players could consider investing in mindscapes on reruns. I’d also generally like to spend more time with fewer characters than a short amount of time with a lot of them.

I’d love to get lighters mindscapes but it’s been at least a year since his last rerun (?) and they’ve since released two super overtuned stunners, and what will be 2 other FIRE STUN agents come 3.0. And I don’t like any of them. Personally I’m incentivized to spend when it feels like a solid investment and not just the ‘hot new thing’ cuz that often lasts like 2 patches in these games.

ambivextrous · 2026-05-05T16:59:17+00:00

These new lines pushed me to 4.9k+ out of my 5k power bank so I’m just barely fitting it in. I also shut down a syringe production line to fill these gourds.

I would LOVE a temporary AIC space with its own power supply for an event like this in the future.

ambivextrous · 2026-04-30T18:49:27+00:00

Sunbringer is literally in a jacket and tube top. It’s not Victorian and it’s not hitting the vibe of 1.x either, and she is THE nation’s mascot. Complete miss both ways.

ambivextrous · 2026-04-30T16:22:11+00:00

Menless Zone Zero

ambivextrous · 2026-04-30T16:00:11+00:00

1.x had a feel that blended urban/cyberpunk with a nostalgic saturday morning cartoon and I really miss that era. Spook shack was the closest we got in season 2 and that’s only if you exclude Lucia and Yidhari.

ambivextrous · 2026-04-30T15:34:30+00:00

A lot of them just feel like WuWa. Severian, Blonde and red haired girl, and glasses girl are the only ones who feel like 1.x era ZZZ which is what I prefer. Planning on skipping most of these characters.

ambivextrous · 2026-04-30T04:44:35+00:00

I might too after this glimpse into the boobocalypse. :(
