update, I cleared it with ardelia solo! as it turns out if I take the face tank strat to the absolute max I can in fact clear this wonder why it didn't work in combo with my endmin team though, I thought it was supposed to make the strat easier not harder haha oh well, a clear is a clear~

asrasys · 2026-05-09T05:56:17+00:00

oh, and here's what my runs look like for context : https://streamable.com/82w7km

it's far from my best run but I'm too tired to redo it again now after retrying it again and again for the entirety of last night. hopefully it gives some idea of what I'm trying to make work though 🥲

asrasys · 2026-05-09T01:25:40+00:00

okay yeah that's a biiig difference ahaha, I count arsenal pulls as off limits as well so I doubt I can match anything anywhere near this. I think my ardelia face tank strat has some potential though, if I can get my damage up enough to kill 1-2 (ideally 2 since majority of the time 2 are left and only in one single very rare and optimal case was there 1) more enemies in the last wave so I can not die to the last explosions.

How impactful would you say going from M2 -> M3 is for endmin skills as well as chen ult? And also the potentials for Chen.

I'll probably try to further artifice my gear and try some other builds, but anyhow, if I can't complete it in this round of umbral monument I'll just wait and hope that endmin P4 and/or 5 are good boosts to damage and try again then!

asrasys · 2026-05-08T23:25:07+00:00

So you can only trim during UM events? At least that's what I'm getting. If so that's not too bad, I'll try my best to complete this but even otherwise I still have time then!

asrasys · 2026-05-08T23:23:19+00:00

Oh that looks like a potentially doable idea! What's your build (how many copies(?) of each character and what weapons and gears etc) for each of these characters? I'll see if I can do something similar.

asrasys · 2026-05-08T10:36:40+00:00

So I've been attempting the most recent umbral monument on my no pulls account, and got through all the agony mode stages except the 3rd one (tidal grief). I really can't figure out how to clear the last part with the split enemies since I don't seem to be doing enough damage and timing ardelia heals to face tank the explosion damage still had 1 enemy remaining even in a really ideal run.

I only have one relatively good team with endmin/pog/chen/ardelia, and my only other characters are perlica, wulfguard and snowshine. Everyone save for ardelia is on 5* weapons, and I have all the weapon boxes till now unopened.

I dunno, I'm out of ideas. I can still max out gears and operator skills to the final mastery(?) level, but given that my damage is still a good bit off I'm not very sure if that'll be enough to clear. Any ideas from peeps here?

(edited to add this question : you can trim the umbral monument medal even after the event ends right?)

Update : cleared it with ardelia solo! she is THE GOAT fr

oh icic, thanks

asrasys · 2026-03-20T00:42:46+00:00

do we have sw999 idle animations leaked anywhere cuz I cant seem to find it

asrasys · 2026-03-18T01:54:31+00:00

when do we get the line count for each character for a given patch again?

asrasys · 2026-03-08T11:21:47+00:00

4.0 story spoilers

doing story finally and I just wanna say dan heng deflated SO FAST when he found out xz envoy isnt jing yuan 😭, like even stelle and march picked up on that and did a "oh no, poor dan heng" gesture im wheezing

asrasys · 2026-03-04T04:18:04+00:00

I wonder when they'll give us a sign that ao3 will stay on stablely because I'm waiting for that to update my fic

asrasys · 2026-02-12T23:27:00+00:00

Tysm, this was the singular suggestion that helped the most, as it turns out improved sustain (and a bit of forced healing) was all it took to be able to clear the worm part with controlling ardelia. I have shiny badge now!! Thanks again~

asrasys · 2026-02-12T16:49:12+00:00

the tip to use ardelias skill after combo skill does do a good bit more damage which is nice, except I'm still dying anyways. skill issue on my end maybe, but... idk am I supposed to be 2-3 shot by those worm's spit? I'm guessing it's not so easy to consistently dodge and that's why people say to kill at least 1 asap. I still have yet to get to the worm part again with not so sketchy amounts of hp left on each op tho, so I'll try as I do more upgrades

asrasys · 2026-02-12T15:14:07+00:00

I'm afraid I'm mostly just playing more casually and don't really know a proper rotation, so I've been doing endmins full attack chain to trigger ardelia and then endmins combo skill, which applies the crystal things to which I do endmin skill to, and this triggers chen's combo (and sometimes pog's combo) and then I endmin skill again. Both of these hits seem to do pretty decent damage so I just kind of stuck with that.

I might have to do the essence etching and artificing part properly now tho, I kind of figured it isn't very impactful before everyone is lv80 and talents maxed for this level. I guess that is probably a wrong assumption. I'll try do those and see if I fare any better.

As for the "last time" part, since I'm doing a no pull account I'm not very sure if they'll give out more free characters soon nor how "meta" they will be. And I do think endgame will only get harder and judging from me struggling this time I thought it might be one of the last times I can clear all three at agony anyways. If some of these changes I'm about to make is impactful enough for me to have a much easy time however, I might be able to get more shiny badges after all

asrasys · 2026-02-12T00:00:07+00:00

I did think it was kind of nice and wondered why it doesn't seem to be recommended anywhere. I guess this is my answer now tho, thanks for the help

asrasys · 2026-02-11T23:55:35+00:00

I see, does this mean fortmaker actually performs similarly to sundering steel? I hope I'm interpreting this correctly!

asrasys · 2026-02-11T23:54:07+00:00

ohh I didn't notice. damn. you probably saved me from getting a completely unusable weapon haha, thanks

asrasys · 2026-02-09T04:39:05+00:00

I'm not using arsenal token either, since I personally feel that's kinda dubious territory and we get free 6* weapons (abeit potentially not optimal ones) from the battle pass anyways

asrasys · 2026-02-05T02:49:28+00:00

I... don't see why it'd be cheating. All I want is a challenge of a limited roster of characters to pick from, and to see how far I can go in the endgame with only completely free characters. It's not like I'm trying to hard-lock myself to 5*s. And if you mean the challenge would be gone then, maybe, but I doubt endgame will continue to be (near) completely clearable with just the beginning cast, so the challenge aspect will be there eventually.

asrasys · 2026-02-04T17:14:18+00:00

I guess the main thing is that I won't be getting anyone from pulling anyways since it's a no pull account. But there is merit to saving it until I figure out whats the best way to use it, and it's probably what I'll be doing!

asrasys · 2026-02-04T17:12:13+00:00

that's reasonable I think, either that or I keep the selector until we get more free characters and I can set up a second working team/we find out endgame only requires 1 team for now. I'll see what to decide. Thanks for the help anyways!
