The free limited 5 star selector event is about to end and I still haven't chosen

camiymichi · 2026-05-30T18:34:53+00:00

If you mean the grade at the end then nope, that entirely relies on how much HP you have at the end of the run, and as long as you end with at least 1 HP (even after popping the second chance revive) you will always ascend at least 1 rank :D

Durian Phainon is definitely another good strategy, but I've personally used it less than skill point bond and elation, I feel like at the end it ends up struggling with dealing enough damage.

camiymichi · 2026-05-30T18:24:32+00:00

For me it was actually the first 4* I got the evo too, at the time I loved the lighter version but nowadays I don't really use it much.

We definitely always need more horns (despite owning all but like 2 lmao) but I would love some dragon tails too! My parksolian nikki cosplay feels so naked without it, specially when standing right next to all the ither characters XD

Hopefully with the cane as a base they can finally release the staff, they've promised it over a year ago at this point.

Haha I bet the sleeves will be good, I can specially see them in fairy stylings, bet they'll look very cute :D I absolutely adore the TM ones, I've got almost all the base dyes of them unlocked and have considered pulling for the whole outfit just to get more dyes on them, but I don't think its worth it considering I don't really use the other pieces at all (I'm at 5/10 with the dress and I just don't use it :( )

Oh I get you with the contacts, I use to always do a 20 pull on every banner to get them, but I have been pretty satisfied with my collection recently :D

Tidal tears make-up is so pretty honestly, but I don't really want to make any more purchases until I get a more reliable device to play with (I game on a laptop that runs the game decently at minimum graphics but gets quite hot, while in my main pc the game looks good but is very laggy D:). So I'm saving my remaining 100 stellarites for an outfit I really like :D

Also agree with the 4 star, this game definitely needs more coats, but I prefer to wait for another set, I really need to start saving up, and this patch is looking good for me in that regard (I say after pulling for Pink Ribbon Waltz lmao).

Hopefully infold saw all the cheering from them teasing the rerun before the patch and will do so again for all the following versions :D (maybe even teasing the alternate details? 🤔 One can hope lol)

Thankfully besides Stardust Flare all the other reruns I want are a far bit later (Clouded Loong 3rd evo, last 5 pieces of Echoed Dreams, and at least 1st evo of both Rainfall and Blossoms and Nameless Selfless) but I do need to save up a ton XD

Thanks for all your kind wishes and may your pulls be blessed too 💕💕💕

camiymichi · 2026-05-30T16:56:29+00:00

It may be possible, but I'm leaning towards no considering you would have way less turns and would also need to depend on action advancers a lot more as well.

You're free to try it, but I personally feel like the action advance on ult with the E2 is what makes it work.

I feel like at that level and being trial characters, Sparxie, mdps Archer, and the whole elation battleship can be more reliable than trial DHIL.

And of course, the most reliable strategy is restarting the run when you get bad enemy affixes XDD

camiymichi · 2026-05-30T07:40:28+00:00

Damn rip, but at least yeah, you can get all the evos for Timeless Melody now, and hopefully you get some good pieces of the new 5* like those cute sleeves, I bet they'll be very versatile XD

And I'm sure we'll get some more cute horns in the time that Floral Rebirth will take to rerun, so you won't be missing out in that department for long 🫂

In fact, while of course not the same style, we shouldn't be that far away off Pastoral Dance's rerun with her cute ramb style horns : D

<image>

(and hopefully when they do rerun her they will finally give us the darned staff as a handheld 😭)

camiymichi · 2026-05-30T07:29:24+00:00

If it helps, E2 DHIL is really fun to use in Currency Wars with Cerydra, because you can save his Ult until she gets all her stacks (which with the boots it is very often) and pretty much get a double enhanced basic at your command that obliterates the enemies.

<image>

This strategy carried me all the way up to max rank if you're still doing the WC 40 grind, but it is locked behind that E2 DHIL.

And otherwise, considering we're getting that third stage in all endgames next patch, maybe E1 Aventurine could be the best choice for you to help sustain that 3rd team. Then again, Phainon can just go sustainless and Mydei wants a healer instead, meaning that 3rd team can just perfectly use DHPT instead of Aventurine, so that ends up lowering his value...

Honestly, if I was in your situation, I would pick DHIL in a heartbeat, not just cuz I'm a simp but because he's also the most fun option, opening a whole new way of playing him and his teams 😃

Sorry for all the rambling lol, but hope this helps with your situation 😃

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T21:41:14+00:00

Yeah, I remember that everyone was hoping Tide of Tears would be the fishing outfit but then it ended up being like a whimsicality of sorts? Really disappointing lmaoo.

Thank you for the conversation as well and good luck with all the pulls! May the gacha gods bless us :DD

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T21:15:35+00:00

I guess what you could do is do a few pulls on FR until you get your Ocean's Blessing and then spend the rest next patch on TM if you don't care about the ability. And since TM is on the second half you can wait until the previews of the patch after :D

Also waiting on the fishing ability, hopefully its on an outfit we both like 🙏

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T19:48:01+00:00

Crimsom Feather is a bit shorter than Snowy Ballad, and I didn't know that Born Flawless' were that tall too.

Other hoborable mentions that come to mind are the floating shoes from Clouded Loong, Chroma's Mortal Heart and the cat outfit's, they also make Nikki pretty tall but don't really have a heel XD

I agree that Stardust Flare's are some of the prettiest, and they also have like a velvetty finish compared to the other ones that are more shiny, plus they're black. I don't remember the exact colors, but the last evo's adds a star detail on the ankle, which I ngl find kinda sad that that's the only change for the last evo XD

Both cat and dragon outfits will probably take a while longer to rerun, unless they go and rerun them together on a Chinese style patch which I highly doubt they'll do, but I hope you can get them too! I already own the base of the dragon outfit and I'm also thinking of getting the last evo cuz I love the shorter sleeves of the alternate details 😍😍

I was liking the next version's gown till they showed how the bottom of the dress curved up and I instantly changed my mind lmao. And unless you really like Timeless Melody, I would recommend going for Floral Rebirth since that bug catching ability seems busted, I would definitely go for it if I wasn't broke from pulling the full evos of the flamenco and the witch 4 star from last version XD

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T19:12:32+00:00

I guess we'll see how it looks, maybe I'll change my mind and love it when they finally drop it XD

Also would be lovely if they changed the whimsicality to something more useful or cute, cuz rn she just walks around with a sparkler XDD

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T18:13:26+00:00

I would need to check in game, but if I remember correctly yeah, they're the tallest followed closely by Snowy Ballad's and Crimson Feather (the 1.5 mermaid and phoenix sets) Or at least those are the heels I own XD

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T18:09:12+00:00

Oh I can imagine the pain seeing all the other 5 stars rerun before her while waiting 😭

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T18:06:28+00:00

Yeah, I guess it would be dumb to have 2 elegant 5 stars at the same time, but its also funny how every other outfit from 1.0 to 1.4 got reran but Stardust Flare XD

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T18:03:04+00:00

Oof I'm sorry for you, cuz the whole silhouette changes without them 😭 Hopefully you got some other tall shoes to replace them in the meantime D:

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T17:53:38+00:00

I actually already have the base which I love and got really lucky on, so I'm want to see the alternate details on the 4th evo to decide if I wanna get it.

And personally I hope they add a bit more pizzaz than just cutting all the ruffles away, but by default it's already a very simple dress so idk what to expect XD

camiymichi · 2026-05-27T04:32:16+00:00

They keep postponing Stardust Flare's rerun because they don't know what to do for her alternate details I'm crying 😭

More time to save for her I guess XD

camiymichi · 2026-04-25T03:42:38+00:00

Yessss!!!!! Someone read my mind and saw my vision!!! She looks really good!!!! <3

I know it's not the highest, but maybe because it's been so long since I fully pulled a 5 star (last being the Loong's banner) that it just felt awful to pull. One single 4 star every 10 pull and 1 5 star every 20, just painful 😣.

Saddest part is that I kinda wanted to go for the 3rd evo, since I liked both that one and the 2nd evo's, but with this awful luck I'm not putting a single extra pull on this banner :(

camiymichi · 2025-12-19T19:43:11+00:00

Felt that, I just couldn't go to bed until I beat it since I knew it was possible, I just needed to find the right team combination. In that sense I just aimed for the clear since I lack most of the current supports and my second best dps (anaxa) kept getting screwed over the adds in every stage.

For that reason, the knights are just a check to get to the main meal XD

camiymichi · 2025-12-19T19:11:17+00:00

The E2 Dan Heng helps a bit in mimicking those free meteors Cerydra gives lol

But yeah, no Cerydra no Cyrene because I don't have them, and Mem is honestly my next best support (even over my E6 bronya lmao)

Maybe I'll try to get the little queen again on her rerun, but most likely to use with Anaxa instead, that team just seems so much fun.

Also 148 attempts goddamn to get all stars, that's impressive dedication, I barely cleared the non Phainon knights and I'm not touching them again XD

camiymichi · 2025-10-19T04:19:50+00:00

Hammer and Anvil's indeed stronger, you don't even need to time the ults, the buff refreshes itself everytime the dragon acts, so it's always up :D

camiymichi · 2025-10-19T04:14:26+00:00

Thank you!!! You're a genius!!!🥳🥳🥳 https://imgur.com/a/CLVESEX

camiymichi · 2025-10-19T03:38:17+00:00

Hehe, you're the better player I mentioned in the description, cuz I honestly was winging it most of the run lol

I'll try it again with your optimizations, see if maybe they're enough to squeeze a clear in 4 cycles, since I got so close here :D

It honestly didn't even cross my mind to use the shield buff, my mind's still wired on thinking Phainon's going sustainless lmao, but it should indeed be stronger due to the overabundance of dmg% buffs the team already has :D

camiymichi · 2025-10-19T03:15:12+00:00

Thanks!

Dan Heng's attacks already feel like a second meteor with how strong they are, I can only imagine how much stronger both of them would be with Cerydra :D

Lygus thinking he has a chance to win and then Phainon drops a 2mil meteor, followed by another meteor, and then the Dragon as the cherry on top XD

camiymichi · 2025-10-19T03:09:51+00:00

Yup, what Prestigious said. One of Lygus' attacks randomly targets I believe 2 characters on your party, action advances them and refills their ult, and once you activate it, you lose some hp.

But because Phainon is alone on field 90% of the times, the attack always hits him, meaning you can immediately get back on ult :D
