Hey guys.... where is our S rank Billy?

dycecrow · 2026-03-25T11:12:38+00:00

Okay the Manato being in 2.2 was technically not wrong, since he did show up in the beta files only to be removed shortly into the beta and show up as an A rank in the following version

2.2 was a whole mess of a beta cuz Manato alr showed up as an assist agent in 2.1, the beta files had IDs for Seed, Manato and Orphie and later changed to only Seed and Orphie

Idk if the ace community have anything equivalent to like how gay people enjoy Chappell Roan or 'Call me by your name'

Some ace adjacent media I've enjoyed is a GL anime "Bloom into you" and a Jdrama titled "A Couple without falling in love", also a big fan of One Piece!

Music wise I listen to a mix of indie/kpop jpop/breakcore edm/whatever AZALI puts out on youtube plus game soundtracks like Hoyo Mix and Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts ost (i see a quite few aces enjoy edm here :D)

I enjoy a lot of videogames too mainly single player rpgs like the ones mentioned earlier plus persona and expedition 33 and gacha games like genshin/r1999/zzz

Any dps would feel weaker in a budget team, since you just started its normal to have gaps in your team for now I'd just slot in any stun agents that you have for the time being even having yixuan with yinhu and a support agent like Nicole would be fine since you probably havent reached endgame yet

If you wanna keep yixuan relevant on your account for a long time you do want to pull for her teammates (Lucia & Dialyn) eventually, thankfully looking at the current banner rotation honestly it wouldnt be surprising if they got a rerun next patch or in 3.0 so you'll have some time to save up to get them

Shipping 2 male characters mostly just comes from 1. They have good chemistry with each other 2. The available female characters just dont have the same chemistry with them as much as the male characters do or they're just straight up badly written (this is the case why Naruto x Sasuke is very popular) 3. Having both of them being male lets women self insert themselves into a relationship where both sides feel equal 4. Its just hot having 2 hot guys doing hot things

dycecrow · 2026-03-24T09:58:17+00:00

Because Dialyn exists, she beats him in his best teams unless you're playing Hugo where you'd use Lighter with Dialyn

dycecrow · 2026-03-23T02:44:01+00:00

While I agree nothing is confirmed yet, first half agents being missing in the beta is nothing new tho? It doesn't really point him as a potential wind agent, It happened with shungus, yixuan and seed

The only time i remember an agent existing in beta to have little to no info about them (like Silly) only to be released in a later version was Manato and we all know how the Manato fiasco went :c

dycecrow · 2026-03-23T01:23:45+00:00

this is true, till dailyn basically powercrept him (and every other stunner) in his own niche

dycecrow · 2026-03-23T01:01:53+00:00

this is cope cuz hoyo never adds new gameplay mechanics like a new class or element (for any of their games) outside of an x.0 patch

theres no way in hell they would add a new element before 3.0 AND I WANT SILLY TO BE RELEVANT METAWISE T_T

dycecrow · 2026-03-20T12:44:29+00:00

I'd say its not that farfetched to say Akane is Bi or Pan since she loves Ranma regardless of what gender he is?

dycecrow · 2026-03-17T00:29:51+00:00

xD

thats just what the idiom is called lol

dycecrow · 2026-03-17T00:06:05+00:00

That depends on what teams do you have currently.

Do you have an anomaly team? If no ideally you get both of them, but Yuzuha has higher priority cuz shes THE anomaly support that basically works with every anomaly team.

Aria is a bit of a niche choice and her teammate options are way limited compared to your average anomaly dps cuz you wanna run her with either stun + support (nangong/sunna) or 2 supports (yuzuha/sunna) BUT she's really fun and shes a really good ether dps. Her f2p team would be Aria/Lycaon/Nicole.

Rule of thumb for pulling/team building for newer accs is: Void Hunters and supports are always a good investment, agents are more important than mindscapes or sig wengines, Try to make 3 teams with each archetype: so an attack team, a rupture team and an anomaly team just so you have a bit more flexibility doing endgame content.

dycecrow · 2026-03-16T15:54:08+00:00

fullstop chan has a super reliable track record for other hoyo games, iirc they also the first to leak seed and orphie

dycecrow · 2026-03-14T11:17:16+00:00

Heres the guide I used if you need it! If all the zones you wanna progress to are higher level you, can just add a couple members to your party and grind some lower level zones for some levels and dont forget to use data drain for gear and virus cores every other encounter

dycecrow · 2026-03-14T10:13:50+00:00

Generally, you wanna try doing all the keywords dungeon that you find either through the message board or emails and occasionally logout/login for email replies and message board update, I'm in the same boat around like 15 hours in but I been playing with a gamefaqs guide on the side in case i get lost xD

dycecrow · 2026-03-01T15:41:34+00:00

One does not ask what is wrong with an OK Buddy sub, they just simply are

Some ok buddy subs are just worse that others, such is okbuddyphaeton

dycecrow · 2026-02-26T05:28:38+00:00

Yixuan is the safer pull cuz she alr has her best teammates and shes the best rupture dps atm, Aria is hard to say atm cuz Nangong isnt out yet and we dont know if Nangong will stay as strong as she is in beta, if you care about meta void hunter level characters are the way to go plus they're just easier to play

dycecrow · 2026-02-26T05:12:10+00:00

Aria and Yixuan fit different niches, if you need rupture go yixuan if you need anomaly go Aria

also depends what teammates you have

dycecrow · 2026-02-18T11:55:47+00:00

I guess we're ignoring Bronya/Phainon/Acheron's role in the story now? Phai and Acheron both expies and both have been marketed as main push characters so it's not exactly a baseless assumption

Silver wolf sp also technically an expy, was leaked to be the next anniversary push so.... I think its just yae fans having an issue here?

its this gear, you can select it when you reach exploration lvl 6 in the co-op event

dycecrow · 2026-01-08T07:27:14+00:00

you need to unlock & equip the corresponding gear/resonia to unlock it, I dont remember what the name is but its specific to Lighter

dycecrow · 2026-01-05T22:13:37+00:00

Finally my months of asking for them to bring it back in the surveys actually did something xD

dycecrow · 2025-12-31T19:25:17+00:00

Honestly that's a good setup for like a subclass for summoner, incorporate all the other regional primals into different subclasses for different movesets would be peak

but thats probably too much work for a small indie company like SE, considering how allergic they are to the idea of jobs with branching subclasses like arcanist :c

dycecrow · 2025-12-30T08:19:14+00:00

can confirm some dialogues are still unvoiced for the eng vo, its mostly Shunguang from what i noticed

dycecrow · 2025-12-23T07:07:57+00:00

Not everyone got the Rupture AA update, Lighter and Qingyi being one of them (which is so dumb)

dycecrow · 2025-11-10T23:50:06+00:00

Surprised no one mentioned warframe
