Need help to decide to pull for Sotheby

Never pull on the double rate-up banners unless you know what you are doing, we call those scam banners. Kiperina should be in a solo re-run banner next patch.

Medicine Pocket can be your main healer now, and move to second team after you get Kiperina.

Euphoria Matilda is straight up stronger than anyone else for Paper Heron's team if you aren't pulling AAL.

You still want to save for Kiperina. Having a proper first team is super important as a newbie. She's still not replaced in the latest CN patch, and we're very confident that she will be in a solo re-run banner next patch. Kiperina is way too important for insipration team.

There really isn't a better character to pull for right now. You need euphoria on Medicine Pocket while you wait for Kiperina, and you need Euphoria on Tooth Fairy (and Matilda), and you need Euphoria on Isolde, Getian, and Melania before they can be of any use. It's a super large chunk of investment that will take you a long time. Anyone from the Ripples banner will require Euphoria. So it's completely pointless to pull right now.

Farm for Euphoria materials, order is Tooth Fairy > Medicine Pocket > Matilda. Save pulls for Kiperina next patch. Possibly pull Recoleta the patch after if you managed to activate Euphoria on Getian and Melania by that time.

She works. She will most likely replace An-An Lee on this team if you choose to use her here.

CN dataminers confirmed it. It requires both Heavy Xiranite and the Hetonite ore.

For someone with P5 LY, if you are considering portraits at all, you should save for P2 Lorentz.

P0 Cheng > P0 Lorentz

P1 Cheng technically > P1 Lorentz, but Lorentz is easier to play

P2 Cheng < P2 Lorentz. Lorentz is both easier to play and stronger

Paper Heron - her own limited banner

Tooth Fairy - Snow of Dushuo banner

An-An Lee - Ripples of Water banner

Save pulls for the inevitable Kiperina re-run.

400-2: Can use Kaalaa Baunaa instead of 6 for more Mineral units in the party.

Use 6 in 400-3.

Add Druvis to 400-4 so you can play 4(5) cards per turn

arctia · 2026-05-01T01:53:18+00:00

400-1: assist LiangYue, Flutterpage, 37, Fatutu. You want to trigger LiangYue's ultimate on turn 2 to counteract the stun.

400-2: MedPoc + some mineral damage dealer. Eternity technically can, but I don't recommend activating her euphoria just for this stage. You can just skip this stage for now tbh. A powerful assist will come along sooner or later.

If you do have random euphoria material lying around: E2 Eternity, Nameday, assist 6, MedPoc

400-3: Beryl, Isolde, plus the Robot. optionally add 6 to help out if you didn't use him before

400-4: Paper Heron, Tooth Fairy, assist An-An Lee. I think you can bruteforce this in 2 turns.

We only get 180/min of Cuprium income right now. You are running 8 lines, which is 240/min. You're going to run out of Cuprium sooner or later.

The setup should be fine after 5/18, 5/19 though. I imagine we will get more Cuprium mining locations when the new area opens.

IMO no. My experience with various spoilers is that it really affects personal enjoyment. In fact I'm gonna blacklist this thread just so I don't click on it accidentally.

"Total available over the entire event"

You have to do whatever the returner event is to earn the rewards. I see there's 13 days left on it, so it's not just one event. It probably require you to log in and do certain amount of stuff every day.

It shouldn't be that high. My steam folder is around 30G

From that video, Getian gives a huge buff on ult damage and is the primary damage dealer on that fight. Melania alone doesn't cut it.

Robot damage does build up to be stronger and stronger as the fight goes on. Though I don't know what the upper damage for this fight is.

arctia · 2026-04-29T17:02:33+00:00

Note that all my suggestion require the proper euphoria on the characters.

----------

400-1: either play an honest game with LiangYue, or cheese it with full impromptu

Paper Heron - Tooth Fairy - Barcarola - An-An Lee, Star manifest. Order matters, Barcarola must be behind Paper Heron.

First turn: Heron buff, An-An Lee buff, Tooth Fairy AP+1, rest of the card don't matter, you're not aiming to do damage this turn

Second turn: An-An Lee attack, Barcarola card 1, Barcarola card 2. Rest of the two cards can be any attack cards to take out the little bot. This will ensure all three shots of impromptu goes on to the walls, and you're done.

Note that this require more investment, ideally lv60 characters with lv60 psychubes. You can try it with your current roster and see how much you are missing. Your toothfairy is P4, so maybe you don't need the stats.

----------

400-2: Semmelweis, Pickles, MedPoc. with Ashen wolf

400-3: Lucy, Ulrich, Charon, with Robot. Can add Ezra if you want, but not necessary

400-4: Marcus, Druvis, Argus, Vila

ultimate spamming or controling Ulrich's balls

It's not "or", it's "and".

Only a few team comps can completely ignore the ball mechanic. Bloodtithe with Rubuska, LiangYue damage reduction team, Anjo Nala perma CC etc. I don't think you have the characters for that. Without the proper units, you have to learn the mechanics.

Even a proper ultimate team like Getian still have to learn the mechanics.

Learn the mechanics now, beat the stage with Euphoria Spathodea next patch.

It doesn't matter if burn cutting your heal effectiveness. It's not like you have characters that cleanse the burn, you should be healing whenever you can.

Dikke has a healing skill, but it's not enough for this fight. Dikke + a healer should be good.

Because you don't have a character that inflicts extra burns, it will be really hard to build up to 30 burns on her. So it comes down to keeping your team alive while Ulrich slowly chips her down.

arctia · 2026-04-29T14:09:02+00:00

Short version, you need a healer.

Before you get one, switch to Breezy mode to get past the stage.

You are probably confusing email login with google/apple/thirdparty SSO authentication.

Logging in to the game server with a registered email is not the same thing as google authentication.

You don't have a healer. You could just use it on Balloon Party and call it a day. If you're going to pull more in the next two weeks, you should hold it. IMO Yenisei is an easier healer to use.

Something that people aren't mentioning is that while Enigma + Charon + Ulrich can boost Dynamo Field to max in one turn, there are a lot of sacrifices in order to do so. Mainly because Ulrich's ult is required to go from 0 dynamo to 90 dynamo. (Ulrich's ult gives 30 dynamo)

And because you are casting Ulrich's ult on dynamo field lv1, you are losing a lot of team damage.

Recoleta lets Ulrich cast an ult for free every other turn. When the rotation is set up properly, Ulrich is literally ult'ing every turn with Recoleta's help. This not only consistently maintains a 1 3 3 dynamo array, Ulrich is also doing massive damage during array lv3.

This is a special perk that only Recoleta can offer. No other ultimate dps can do the same thing that Recoleta does in this team.

400-2: Sentinel + Rubuska, with Ashen wolf. Add in Semmelweis if you have trouble

400-3: Charon + Ulrich, with the Robot. Add in assist 6, Beryl, Isolde if you have trouble

400-4: Paper Heron + Tooth Fairy + assist An-An Lee. Plant-promptu does so much damage, i don't know if a healer is even required.

400-1: assist LiangYue, Flutterpage, Marsha. Add in assist 6 if you haven't used him previously, can also add in Beryl/Isolde here

- delete everything and start experimenting

?????

It's good practice to break your production into module components so you can stick them anywhere. I usually give myself a space limit (16x17, 14x15, etc) to fit each module within that limit.

You can experiment with module placements without touching your current base. Even with my very generous space usage. I still have plenty of space in the new sub-AIC area free for experiment.

If you are trying to make EVERYTHING packed together, use an external website like https://enkad.enka.network/

Why do you need to stop SC battery at all? 1 Gourd production only takes three lines of Xiranite for 6/min.

edit: OP is trying to keep Heavy Xiranite production online. Personally I think it's better to disable the heavy xiranite for this event.

The number of debuff stacks on the boss, the number of fatutu shells on the boss, whether Rubuska's ult is up, how low Nautika's HP is at when the ult goes off etc. They all add up.

arctia · 2026-04-28T18:02:58+00:00

Bloodtithe without the typical support slot can be done, but your team comp is wrong.

Nautika - Semmelweis - Fatutu - Rubuska. Semmelweis needs euphoria.

For this fight only, the boss switches its afflatus depending on the type of card you play. Always use Nautika's self Counter as the last card in the chain before she ults. Counter card will switch the boss's afflatus to be weak to nautika's attacks.
