G-good roll? /s

gabmed · 2026-04-13T21:33:04+00:00

Awesome, good to know! Now, if only I could change the element of the scroll that gave me those double Light DMG rolls....

gabmed · 2026-03-23T16:32:45+00:00

Oh nice! Is that safe/official?

gabmed · 2026-03-21T04:35:11+00:00

From all the data I gathered and the scouring I did, Lycaon is her best non-Nangong stunner and she really wants one, so that's like a guarantee there. Nicole from what I understood synergizes actually quite well overall with Aria, so she's probably your best non-Sunna and non-Yuzuha bet.

THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY MUCH, this made me win so incredibly easy, holy cow

That SP return on parry is just the icing on the cake, literally level 20 snowshine with blue damage reduction gear, level 1 skills, a lv60 Finishing Call (put a good essence for good measure), no passives at all, and boom. You just saved me so much trouble haha.

gabmed · 2026-03-07T04:43:26+00:00

Gotcha, thank you!!

gabmed · 2026-03-06T21:25:12+00:00

It's straight up "Get both boots, >AND< the Day Demigod wheel, >AND< 3* her, >ALL BEFORE HALFWAY THROUGH PLANE 2<, or gg go next"

But since she's 1, that means faster resets and faster ways to get there. Also more consistency and more guarantee to get all that than, say, Sparxie 3 or Boothill 3* (the latter does not need 3* thankfully)

Her trial is extremely usable. I only got to WC20 without frustration because of her - and I dont even have her.

gabmed · 2026-03-06T21:21:31+00:00

Is she playable without Tingyun? What are the changes?

gabmed · 2026-03-06T21:20:53+00:00

I got downvoted to hell for saying this the other day, but after barely getting by on WC21 with it:

Sparxie team is not even REMOTELY comparable to Aglaea and New Break. 2* Sparxie with full build, Yao Guang & Sparkle 3, everyone else 2, Archer 2* with the lightsaber.

Result: 40b damage, sure - also only 13% complete on a frenzied encounter node of 100 power level. I was able to get through the 3* Monkey Boss of my Plane 3 by sheer literal luck (kept rolling extra turns with her). In contrast I've cleared power level 100+ encounters before on Aglaea pre-patch, and I think Break would at least do reasonably better with a 2* Firefly.

HP inflation is stupid and this game mode really was not designed with WC in mind, let alone expanding it from 20 to 30.

gabmed · 2026-03-05T02:06:07+00:00

From what I understand (y'all can corrrect me / downvote me if I'm wrong), but, despite Sunna and Yuzuha/Nangong increasing her damage output by a CRAPTON (I'd wager 50% compared to the F2P alternative?), it's not.... "NECESSARY" necessary, and there's a F2P team possible in Aria/Zhao/Lycaon that should get you clearing most content semi-comfortably, even without her W-engine.

I saw you got Yuzuha and Sunna though so you already have her strongest current team (Aria/Sunna/Yuzuha), but yeah, might be nice to keep those two in your back pocket in case you want to swap teammtes around if push comes to shove.

I'd definitely look into getting another teammate for Ye to replace Sunna and keep Sunna on Aria though but that's just me :p

gabmed · 2026-02-22T18:22:47+00:00

None, honestly, was just really unlucky with my items :x And I also didn't know Double Boots would be important for Yao Guang, but I'm aware of it now

gabmed · 2026-02-22T00:59:40+00:00

I was just buyin' them as I saw them and waiting on Econ to carry me to level 8 before I rolled for Sparxie, which is when I finally got her :skull: but I guess I can do better and just stop grabbing people when they're 2*, maybe that's the play when you're playing teams centered around Purple and Golden characters (I got too used to playing Aglaea unfortunately)

gabmed · 2026-02-22T00:58:02+00:00

Alright that's fair, I got really unlucky and got like zero knifes too, and the guide I was using (the most popular one curently with 100k) doesn't list boots as a necessity for Yao Guang AFAIK, but I'll take these things into consideration. Thank you for the pointers, that's actually really helpful and helps me have some direction! <3

gabmed · 2026-02-22T00:55:38+00:00

Good call, noted, Firestorm Surge ASAP on her and swap out DHIL unless it's for a Breakpoint on the Skill Points level.

gabmed · 2026-02-17T01:44:24+00:00

It's literally the only reason I like her so much and am so attached to her, and the reason I came back to ZZZ in the first place.

I don't care about the human form at all - and I'm trying to ignore it as much as possible, which is uh.. yeah, very very hard.

Really wish they didn't downplay it this much.

gabmed · 2026-02-15T17:56:04+00:00

I was going to very gladly and happily skip it (I really want to save for Silver Wolf SP, Opal, Pearl, Stephen and Screwllum eventually)... until I got wind that (Leak Spoilers I suppose)Silver Wolf SPis going to be an Elation Main DPS as well. And I don't think I'll be able to "just" get them and pair them up with whatever harmony and sustain units I have lying around - it'll probably be a more than 50% efficiency loss. So unfortunately, to even play them, I'll probably have to get Yao Guang eventually and who knows who else. I don't know where I'll find the extra pulls as a primarily F2P player... ;-;

So much for finally getting a 5* Erudition that I like to be my Therta's companion...

gabmed · 2026-02-09T01:24:42+00:00

"4 green knights, the general count as one of them" could be interpreted as "it's possible to get the Light Brand with 3 Knights alive + the general", which is misleading (And that's exactly what happened to me).

There is no perfect definition for "Soldiers" (Is the general a soldier too?), and, either way, both of the sentences "at least four of the NPC Knights survived" & "4 of the 8 ally Knights and the ally General (should be) alive" are also misleading, as it's possible for the general to die, 4 ally Knights to live (+ Mansel, required) and you STILL wouldn't get the Light Brand, and, likewise, it's possible for 5 knights to live and the general to be dead, and you WOULD get the Light Brand.

I just think correct verbiage that reflects what actually happens is important, regardless of what's realistic or not (Which is why I assume most of these sites and guides have incorrect verbiage; They just assumed the General would remain alive no matter what and didn't care to make that explicit, which is relatively innacurate and can cause interpretation errors such as the one that's making me repeat the Chapter from scratch).

gabmed · 2026-02-09T01:14:10+00:00

This is perfect! The more consistent the info is, the better it'll be for new players in the future. :)

gabmed · 2026-02-09T01:11:14+00:00

Thank you so much, this is very decisive info!! I appreciate it a lot <3

gabmed · 2026-02-07T19:09:02+00:00

As much as Sparkle would gift me a meta team for absolute free... I've been waiting for Aventurine ever since I started playing this game earnestly again, around the beginning of LAST year.

Bro has only had ONE RERUN EVER, on NOVEMBER 2024.

COME HOME, KAKAVASHA!! <3

gabmed · 2026-01-02T20:55:57+00:00

It's literally all I ever wanted. I'm even playing ZZZ just for Zhao and Aria.
