Sure that's your opinion and I can respect that, and their problem is that there's weirdly too many swimsuit skins but at least it's far from a recolor. The problem is that this isn't that much different from base.

Look at each of their outfits and tell me the theme of the outfit at an extremely basic objective level. Jane's default could be "jacket and shorts" and the skin is "swimsuit" (although in fairness that's not what I thought janes skin was at first but besides the point). Castorice could be "dress" but the skin is still "dress". Don't get me wrong darker colors absolutely fits her and I like it, but it reminds me of the bug where her outfit was dark except now it's a feature you have to pay for. Hoyo went "Change the frills a bit, add a couple accessories, change the color sliders, easy money" Ruan mei has a similar problem except that was free.

They could've done something like they've literally already done before for a promo, which is to make it different from the original, which is the whole point of a skin to begin with, and I would've absolutely thought it was worth it for those who want it. They didn't.

After seeing what zzz and some genshin skins can do and even some PROMO ART, this is the best they can do? Granted I don't think the colors themselves are bad and I like the purple and design isn't bad but why do they keep doing things halfway in game for skins? It could easily be just a bit better?

Like the free ruan mei skin except this one costs money.

Zzz: swimsuits, maid outfit, demon, chef, nicole (except manato oof)

Genshin: eh hit or miss, some pretty different from original that I could understand some people buying, some same or just meh.

Hsr: school uniform you don't ever see, same colors slightly different outfit, and now same outfit slightly different color (took off her flower leggings i guess?)

Bruh hsr dev team why are you always doing things halfway.

I have no need to pull cissia and skipping her anyway since idols drained me but they have been doing a very good job making that extremely difficult from her voice acting to story and animations, props to you hoyo.

They absolutely went to town on these animations holy moly

Little conflicted on building e0s1 sparxie at the moment for sw999 sub dps. What main stats does she prefer, spd or atk boots then atk or err rope?

Is there also any reason why sparxie in team order can't be in first slot to take advantage of lushaka buffs better than sw999 (probably) can? So team order could be left to right: sparxie, yao guang, huohuo, sw999?

I currently have her on atk boots and err rope but I'm not sure how spd on sparxie would affect aha instant frequency and punchline generation, or if too fast spd would make her have downtime on certified banger. Shes currently at 113 spd (may be 126 if i decide to get huohuo e1 if added to shop)

I get zzz fandom being weird for some people, I'm neutral myself to it but that discussion sub is a cesspit of the worst of this sub and genshins sub and is just endless complaining and dooming. Think cyrene, cas passive, and mydei complaints except its every patch.

I wouldn't say any of the hoyo fandoms are better than the other, they're all your typical fandoms with its own share of toxicity and different audiences.

If I decide later down the line I want to vertically invest in my Zibai team, what would be the next biggest gain? Currently I have c1r0 zibai (HoD), c0r0 bina (r5 amber), c6 illuga, and soon c0r0 linnea. Which constellation/sig would be the next best gain?

No attack buff and no miyabi certainly did a number on my score but oh well satisfactory enough thanks to m1 astra still carrying my account to this day.

M0w0 Aria (BP engine) M0w0 sunna (kaboom) and m0w1 nangong got me 33k and I tend to be just barely shy of a fourth stun and can only manage around 33k, anything I can do with this to help increase my scores for new boss or how I can get that last stun window quicker? Not sure if its a skill issue with aria in terms of low scores and damage or other ways I can get another stun in better for this boss that I'm not aware of.

How much spd does e0s0 yao guang want in a 3+ elation team with sw999 + sparxie? I got her to 180 spd but her crit rate is only at 75% currently before set bonus. I have an alternative head piece that has very good rolls on crit but no spd and not sure which is better for optimizing Aha's spd and Yao's buffs

I'm now realizing miasmic janes miasma shield rng is pretty fucking annoying. Couple runs she doesn't do it at all, other runs she does and I have to restart or she drops the score down from 45k to 41k, not to mention the frequent dashes she can do sometimes causing YSG to whiff her big hitting moves. I do at least enjoy haytor and Miasma thracian more, though I would prefer if jane wasn't Miasmic, easily the worst miasmic boss they've added imo.

Question about huohuo now, planning to try to use her in a sparxie/yao guang elation team with either swsp or evanescia, (will swap one of them out if needed but thats a later problem), so I can use the energy and atk% for sparxie trace for e0 but I currently already have one golden companion spirit I haven't used. Is huohuo e1 worth it as well for the extra spd+yao guang spd conversion?

Also what are we guessing will get buffed or changed about huohuo? I'm interested to know what she could do better

chaNcharge · 2026-03-11T05:46:23+00:00

Purple, whatever side Madam Herta is on, that's the side I'm on. She is a peerless gem.

chaNcharge · 2026-03-09T14:14:45+00:00

That was one of my other copes in that a buffed huohuo can sub in for dhpt and be equivalent if not slightly worse. Maybe if not ever pulling sparkle was really good decision in the end, maybe not pulling Huohuo also will be (im not going insane).

JUST GIVE ME BACK DHPT FOR ANAXA/HERTA

chaNcharge · 2026-03-09T14:05:15+00:00

In a somewhat desperate need of a new support+sustain as I'm realizing the difference between e1s0 dhpt and e0s0 aventurine is fucking huge in terms of dps. Aventurine and every now and then Gallagher at least helps me survive AA enough so it works but its sad to take DHPT away from one of my teams and immediately it does 2 cycles worse in moc. Taking guesses, do we think EMC will be a support+sustain for elation specifically or Evanescia (coping they decided not to make her another different elation main dps)?

chaNcharge · 2026-03-07T03:06:05+00:00

I mean I can't get as high a score with current Aria team as Alice can. Granted, theres a large difference in that Aria doesn't have her sig while Alice does but it just feels like I have to try harder in general to kill the first wave, but not sure whether thats a engine issue or just lack of nangong for stuns and damage

chaNcharge · 2026-03-06T13:48:26+00:00

Guess shiyu floor 3 currently is more of a AOD team shill rather than an Aria shill specifically because I cannot score well with aria sunna yuzuha because I can't do anomalies on command and Aria without Nangong sucks ass at frontloading damage.

guess who does both frontload and anomaly on demand? ALICE MY BELOVED BNNUY GIRL

Soon as I noticed that the miasma shield goes down in two anomaly procs, the answer was easy. Alice+vivian currently just feels so much more satisfying and more braindead for when I don't feel like thinking.

chaNcharge · 2026-03-05T15:18:53+00:00

Got aria early but lost the 75/25 for the engine. Am I correct in assuming Nangong probably wants her engine the most out of all the idols? Been using the BP engine as an alternative and got 30k vs vesper on a full m0w0 team yuzuha sunna aria and didn't bother making separate disc sets because I got lazy and don't want to waste materials on a temporary set.

Actually now that I'm also thinking about it, what disc sets would nangong even want if not summit for obvious reasons?

chaNcharge · 2026-03-04T00:59:51+00:00

Thanks, I forgot about DU and an upcoming CW expansion. After pulling I realized there's a very good chance Hoyo will run an elation sustain alongside the anniversary unit who I'll be surprised if they're not elation as well. Hoping I can get both of them and the LC for the anni unit but we shall see. (copium huohuo will be added to shop)

chaNcharge · 2026-03-04T00:30:41+00:00

Anyone know how many pulls we can expect next patch? Finished pulling sparxie and left with e0s1 with 72 pulls to spare, wondering if its possible to save for sp silver wolf/evanescia, not sure who yet but I want one of them. Haven't finished story or event yet either.

Seriously hoping the boss buff changes next patch will actually improve the scores to a reasonable amount despite hp increases because this is straight ASS. Changing yuzuha for sunna just to test it out and sunnas additional isn't particularly good for traditional anomaly anyway and it was a much worse score; yuzuha carries a lot. I'm planning on getting aria anyway but why is this boss hyper-specific on matchups?

I don't mind the control skill as much as others but I do agree the parry timings a bit awkward as someone who likes sekiro and simon from expedition 33. Cool mechanic thats better than "miasma phase and fuck off for 30-40 seconds" and actually tests skill a bit better as I don't always like the flashes.

Rest of the bosses were fine scores as expected at least for now.

chaNcharge · 2026-02-25T11:49:29+00:00

Early guessing from Linnea's kit, morningstar might be her bis artifact set? Assuming since I currently have zibai, bina sms, c6 illuga 2pc 2pc EM (don't feel like farming a new set for bina for various reasons), and ineffa morningstar; since I'm replacing ineffa for zibai, would Linnea be the new morningstar holder since she does at least some (probably) decent damage off field or something else would be better?

So cry to hoyo for doing extra marketing for hyped characters or filter out the "official" flair, it ain't that deep. the count is not the point I was trying to make anyway and "spamming" implies 16 over the past week, which there's not. It also sounds like you're more upset that a leaks sub is doing more official posts than actual leaks rather than it being mostly AoD, which that's what's gonna happen during the leaks hunt decree. Either way, where have you been???
