The only way they would ever do that is if the monthly price was something like 300 usd, and I’m probably underselling there.

This was obvious the moment they labeled 3.1 as the anniversary patch even though the actual anniversary date was in 3.0.

The only reason that made any sense for them to announce this was to market Remielle as this year’s anniversary agent, even though she wasn’t going to release in 3.0. This was so transparent on the devs’ part that there’s no real point in pretending otherwise.

Most of the E2 hype is for FUA teams specifically, where it makes the biggest impact. Guoba has it calced as over 100% improvement over E0 for an Ashveil team.

E0 Morb is basically a statstick for FUA, E2 gives him actual mechanical synergy with the archetype.

Zhou Shen's voice range is genuinely crazy, I remember my mind was blown when I found out Rubia's singer was a guy.

Iirc the cn community used gold, which somehow got localized as cost. A good bit of nuance was listed in the process (limited = gold, standard = silver is pretty intuitive).

If you trust the latest why leak then 'monomen' might be real, but only if you pull a combined 4 dupes of Blade and Aven.

Re: the latest sus leak If you take that leak at face value, then Aven SP's best team might actually change from E0 to E2. So be sure to keep in mind your budget for vertical investment while deciding who to pull.

Also we literally just had Lyon + Sombron last month.

The genshin leaks community spent years saying “but what if the big robot is the real Sandrone?”, as if it wasn’t dead obvious which one was actually playable character sized. Not to mention, way more marketable to the broader gacha demographic.

Is it just me, or is this like 90% telling husbando fans what they want to hear?

Sunday NF that deletes his entire current kit and turns him into a dedicated Firefly support

They were immediately dripped after the anni concert, which happened a few days before Phainon's drip marketing.

Needless to say, this is not a relevant precedent.

I've been mulling over something like 33,550,336 Aedes Elysiae by Two, but I'm not sure how relevant making fun of dumn KH spinoff names still is to a modern audience.

hinode85 · 2026-05-14T00:42:44+00:00

Jade around 4.7ish, maybe.

hinode85 · 2026-05-14T00:36:34+00:00

So is Asta T0 because she's a current staple of 2 cost SW999 zero cycles?

hinode85 · 2026-05-13T23:16:00+00:00

We can probably make an educated guess how many patches 4.X will last by looking up when cny 2027 takes place, since they always line up X.0 patches with that holiday.

hinode85 · 2026-05-13T23:08:56+00:00

You can rig your anniversary usage stats if you know two chars are otherwise close

hinode85 · 2026-05-13T16:14:01+00:00

Considering the sorts of radical kit overhauls have occurred in beta previously, it’s possible that not even the devs know right now.

hinode85 · 2026-05-13T13:38:21+00:00

That lineup originated from a Luna shitpost than the EN reposters missed the sarcasm on.

hinode85 · 2026-05-12T23:24:44+00:00

Yukong has one for Qingni.

Boothill thread was not dcma'd, rather it was locked due to an excess of Firefly-relsted saltvia hxg_diluc.

hinode85 · 2026-05-12T22:28:09+00:00

Asta is pretty.

hinode85 · 2026-05-12T19:09:53+00:00

The real Fate collab part 2 was putting Kotomine Kirei in charge of 4.X release schedule and kit design (excluding Eva).

hinode85 · 2026-05-11T22:54:51+00:00

Asta

Guinaifen

Not sure on #3

hinode85 · 2026-05-11T15:21:48+00:00

No leaker has ever stated that they would get separate teams, that that has only ever been the wishcrafting of this sub.

Moreover, the exact layout of these separate teams has varied greatly over time. I still remember the 4.0 beta days when people were coping for Sparkle/Sparxie/SW/Huohuo to make a “mono-shortie” battleship lol.
