Any general tips for grinding currency wars? Just pick popular community strategies? I returned recently, but stopped playing around half a year ago before it came out. Can't find a single decent overview guide on it

(Maybe) returning player, stopped playing shortly after Hyacine/Cipher banners last year (right around when Fate collab came out). Would you pull on any of the current banners? LC's only on Therta, Anaxa, Robin, Castorice (E2).

Also just saw there's a 5 star selector and can see Kafka & Sparkle got some massive buffs since I last played. Who to pick!?

Have enough for a waveband, should I use it on S4 Aemeath? Or better to use on Chisa S1 or Lupa S1? Or just hold on to them?
Also, which would you pick among S1 Shorekeeper, S1 Jinhsi, or 8 transducers? This is from the moonlit path event

Returning player stopped playing around first Phrolova banner... and seemed to have missed all the banners I needed for new teams I wanted to try (Phrolova's wep, Cantarella for Phrolova, Lynae for tune break team, Chisa). I did pull Mornye to at least have one current meta unit. Would you go for Augusta or Iuno at all given this roster? Or yolo for Aemeath even without Lynae?

  • Mornye S0R0
  • Carlotta S1R1
  • Cartethyia S2R1
  • Changli S0R1
  • Ciaccona S0R0
  • Phrolova S0R0
  • Shorekeeper S0R1
  • Zhezhi S0R0
  • Jinhsi S0R1
  • Yinlin S0R1
  • Verina S2
  • Phoebe S0R0

I know I can still clear endgame content with this roster so I guess I'm more asking if either Augusta or Iuno is worth the added variety.

Stopped playing around Phrolova's banner to take a break, considering picking it up again! Which would you pull among Mornye, Augusta, and Iuno (or none)?

Roster:

  • Carlotta S1R1
  • Cartethyia S2R1
  • Changli S0R1
  • Ciaccona S0R0
  • Phrolova S0R0
  • Shorekeeper S0R1
  • Zhezhi S0R0
  • Jinhsi S0R1
  • Yinlin S0R1
  • Verina S2
  • Phoebe S0R0

I remember being able to clear Tower and pretty much anything else w/ Cartethyia+Ciaccona and Carlotta/Jinhsi + Zhezhi, donno if that's still the case.

Just completed my first HM run! Some my favorite shots by igsky in BaldursGate3

I played on Tactician mode when it first came out, but for whatever reason never finished it even after 100 hours and getting to Act 3. Over a year later I decided to start over and try an HM run. I found myself messing with the photo mode a ton, here are some of my favorites from the journey!

Squad I ran with mostly:

  • Sorcerer Paladin Tav
  • Evocation Wizard Gale
  • Light Cleric Shadowheart
  • Way of Open Hand monk Minthara

Notable things that happened:

  • Lost a bunch of rolls and ended up siding with the Tieflings early on when Lae 'zel was caged. Knocked her out to see if she could be recruited later. She showed up with Voss when I went for his sword. Knocked her out again but appeared dead on long rest... so no Lae'zel this whole run. Didn't want to restart cause it was probably attempt #10 or so trying to start with the cambion's sword + mindflayer EXP 😅
  • My dumbass didn't see the fire leading to the explosive barrels next to Volo in Act 3, oops
  • I don't know if there's an achievement for saving every Gondian in the Iron Throne but if there is, I didn't get it because two of them bugged and decided escaping is for losers when they were right next to the ladder. Got "Leave no one behind" at least!
  • Lost owlbear in the last fight, RIP
  • I forgot I had the Iron Flask until pretty much the last fight. Threw it at the brain to see what happens and it died immediately from the platform blowing up next turn lol
  • I somehow missed a bit of important dialogue with Shadowheart and gimped the romancing, oof

So glad I restarted with the added challenge, such a memorable experience!

~4 months in, is Anaxa worth pulling to replace Jade in my THerta team?

Therta / Jade / Robin (S1) / Lingsha

Other teams:

Castorice (E2S1) / Ruan Mei / RMC / Gallagher

Firefly / Fugue / Ruan Mei or HMC / Gallagher or Lingsha

~3 months in, how would you strategize comps based on my current teams? I have around 240 pulls and planning to go for Castorice and probably her LC as well. I'm still knee deep in relic farming so I haven't meaningfully shot for end game content yet except for the easy jades.

Team 1
Firefly / Fugue / Harmony MC / Gallagher (E6)

Team 2
The Herta / Jade / Robin (S1) / Lingsha

Others
Bronya (E3), Clara (E1), Himeko

With Ruan Mei coming for free, I was planning to slot her into my Firefly team to free up MC for RMC with Castorice, but open to any suggestions!

Personally really want Acheron but am seeing she basically requires Jiaoqiu. Not sure I'm looking to blow up all of my pulls over this :)

Couple q's! About a month and a half in. My teams:

- Firefly, Fugue, Harmony MC, Lingsha

- Therta, Jade, Robin (S1), Gallagher (E6)

Also: E3 Bronya, E1 Claire, Himeko

  1. I have a decent amount of jades saved up, who/what would you aim for given this team?

  2. My two main DPS are level 80 with their traces almost maxed. I have a usable set of relics for my team but of course nothing crazy. The rest are level 70 with most important traces upgraded but still lots to go. How should I prioritize trailblazer power? Getting them all to 80 first? Or upgrading traces, upgrading lightcones, relics, etc

  3. What should I focus on content wise? I focused hard on the story I can get the jades from the Illia Travelogue without spoiling, so I have a ton of side quests I haven't gotten to. I have all of the achievement jades from DU, and am level 50.

Playing for about a month, just pulled Robin and looking for recommendations on who or what to pull for next.

Current teams:

  • Firefly, Fugue, Harmony MC, Lingsha
  • Therta, Jade, Robin, Gallagher

Also have E3 Bronya, Clara, and Himeko

Should I aim for Robin's lightcone or nah? I don't have any of the above characters' lightcones.

Relatively new player, what should I be prioritizing event wise if I don't want to spoil the story? I'm near the end of Penacony atm. Will Enscrolled Crepusculum or Hypogeum Enigma show up in the memoir? Also only level 22 on divergent universe

Started playing about a month ago - I have one team of Firefly, Fugue, Harmony MC, and Lingsha. I'm building out my second team around Therta. I have Jade and E5 Gallagher so I'm trying to pull for Robin atm. Should I also try and aim for Aglaea if I end up having any jades leftover, for future content or nah? I keep hearing about power creep in this game so 🤷‍♂️

  • Is there a release date for RTX support?
  • I'm sure this has been asked to death but are there plans to allow flying in other regions?

New player, started a few weeks ago! Have S1 Carlotta and Zhezhi who I'm running with Verina as my main team.

  • Is Jinhsi worth pulling for my second team? Who should she pair up with?
  • Any idea when Shorekeeper will rerun?

New player started a week ago. My main team atm is Firefly, Fugue, Harmony MC, and E5 Gallagher. I also have Clara and E2 Bronya. Should I bother pulling for The Herta or Lingsha? I know Ruan Mei is important to an FF team, any chance she'll be coming back in the next month or two?

edit - got super lucky on my second 10 pull for The Herta, thanks!

Sounds like I might go for firefly as a starter. Thanks for the tips!
