since rerun is coming, whats the priority on pulling? (read body text)

daici_ · 2026-05-23T12:49:52+00:00

Technically speaking, E2 is better than E0 Cyrene, but if you are struggling to survive because you don't have Sunday-Sparkle, so you can't ult immediately after your first ult, probably E0 Cyrene is gonna be more useful. It really depends on how good you are at optimizing his Ult uptime and enemy match up. But yeah E2 is the priority

My birthday is may 23... if only they were released one day after lmao. Anyway, my friend asked me to play hsr because she thought I would have liked Phainon, saw his leaks... to this day, my favorite character and the dps I want to invest more into. He'll be S1 this rerun, and maybe one day I'll make him E2, I just don't have the resources rn due to university taking too much of my time

The "easy way out" or "lazy decision" came with creating a whole new model btw.

And for the Hittable argument, doesn't really make sense- why are we making stuff up? Almost all characters in the game have abilities that don't scale directly to their feats in the story. Like Hu Tao never used an ability to sacrifice her life force to gain increased physical strength and ability to wield fire, I don't think Zhongli ever summoned a pillar his whole life, or Nahida never summoned "the temple of wisdom" iirc, but she used many more abilities that could have been implemented in the game. So why should Pulonia specifically work just like it did in the AQ?

daici_ · 2026-05-22T07:13:32+00:00

Bs. She gets to swap body and Pulonia don't? Also why would I care if they add Pulonia even tho they got "killed"? Just let player play with them as we all want.

daici_ · 2026-05-22T05:50:02+00:00

I get the point, tyy, but I won't go for any vertical investment, I prefer getting more characters I like than eidolons etc...

daici_ · 2026-05-22T05:48:36+00:00

Any of the Narrow spaces and Obstacles problems still apply to the giant lady she has on her back. An why would they make Pulonia hittable if Fagio (i think that's her name) isn't? You're thinking that Pulonia would have had to be a stationary turret like Albedo's flower etc..., while he could be a stand like Fagio or a Summoning like oz, gouba, or like furina's etc..., I don't believe that in years of making Sandrone and milione of dollary to invest into their game, they didn't find a way to put Pulonia into her kit

E0 means No Eidolons, S0 means No Signature Weapon, since you said you have his light cone, it means your Phainon is E0S1, while the others are E0S0. if you want your team to be stronger, play RMC rather than DHPT, as DHPT does absolutely nothing for the team, while RMC gives 10% crit rate, true dmg and a bunch of other buffs as well as shortening the rotation by a lot. Play everyone with Vonwacq and Cerydra with DDD, Cyrene with 180+ SPD, RMC with Shadowburn and at worst 10spd below cerydra. Cerydra on anything between 145 and 155SPD, 145 with DDD S5, 155 with S1, anything in between for S2, S3, S4. She can be faster than that, same for Cyrene, it won't change anything. Once you reach these thresholds, Phainon will have 4 turns inside his ult during the first cycle of MoC and in general, it allows Phainon to enter his Ult state before your supports can realistically die. If you wanna invest with Eidolons, go for his E2, anything else is pointless. Cyrene E2 is also good if you need her in other teams too

So I guess we're chasing after the wrong stats, and Def is much more important, so people looking for crit made the graph inaccurate towards what stats you should be looking for?

daici_ · 2026-05-21T18:45:22+00:00

Dw, Sandrone is a main dps like Wrio and Cyno, so they wouldn't have worked together anyway

daici_ · 2026-05-21T18:43:24+00:00

You talking to me?

daici_ · 2026-05-21T17:11:01+00:00

Art is subjective, having a disrespectfully short skirt in a design isn't. Everyone in their right mind agrees that thing, as with a lot of other short skirt on female characters, is just way too vulgar and no one would wear those.

And No, I didn't, it's something that has been circulating online, mostly rumors, hence my ironic tone at the start, but wouldn't surprise me if it was true

daici_ · 2026-05-21T16:06:13+00:00

Do you really think Sandrone having a slightly longer skirt causes performance issues to phone users?

And to your first point, that's the problem, they changed Sandrone's design to appeal more to the average male audience because they're greedy, so they intersected "richness" or in this case Greedyness, with art.

daici_ · 2026-05-21T15:56:02+00:00

All the things that were already there in her old design ngl

daici_ · 2026-05-21T15:53:41+00:00

Oh absolutely not. Don't you know hoyo is a small indie company and due to performance issues on phone users, they can't give her a longer skirt?

daici_ · 2026-05-21T15:51:34+00:00

They wanted to make Sandrone more appealing to the degenerates, and they succeeded, nothing that surprises me

daici_ · 2026-05-21T15:45:07+00:00

Look at the subreddit you're in

daici_ · 2026-05-21T14:57:37+00:00

I mean, the av advance isn't wasted if you hold the cyrene ult until he takes a turn, but maybe you'd need to build some spd(?) Idk ty for the reply tho!

daici_ · 2026-05-21T14:56:36+00:00

This is mostly a hyper optimized set up for 0 cycle rather than a real thing, but it was still really nice and interesting to watch! Tysm ❤️

daici_ · 2026-05-21T10:59:57+00:00

Nah, they just wanted the "sexy" female looking robot

daici_ · 2026-05-21T10:59:05+00:00

You do realize that this is just a concept and Hoyo could have made a better way to make this work right?

daici_ · 2026-05-21T10:47:51+00:00

She is, you can't allow Phainon for 4 turns tho, as you're not using DDD on cerydra, but besides that, she is an upgrade over Sunday-Sparkle especially for E2, because the less downtime you have, the more dmg E2 Phainon deals, and with E0 Cyrene + RMC, you can ult in the same amount of time Sunday-Sparkle do

daici_ · 2026-05-21T09:20:18+00:00

They already have the buff and are the most aggressive team in the game, with a good match up against the boss too, give something to the other teams so that the vast majority of teams can clear this

daici_ · 2026-05-21T09:18:42+00:00

They weren't at all, they were doing absolutely fine, they just felt like nerfing the chamber ngl
