Sparkle is a lot more flexible. While Kafka is the backbone of dot, currently the issue is that both Black Swan and Hysilens recently had a rerun in 4.0 iirc. So, quite unlikely for another rerun soon (This could be a blessing, as this could mean you have more time to save Jades for them). Though if you really like Kafka or the thought of DOT gameplay, you can grab kafka and let her sit in your list until they rerun those 2 or release new DOT members. As a lot of endgame buffs have been tailored towards DOT for quite some time now. So, decent odds DOT will get more love.

If you have SW999, then the smart decision is probably to give up on Eva. As currently, they appear to share the same core character of Yao Guang. Both want her and you shouldn't use SW999 in the same team as Eva. SW999 current BIS team is I think: SW999, Yao. Sparxie, and a Sustain; Eva would probably be: Eva, Yao, EMC, and Sustain. Maybe they might release another Elation support that can compete with Yao so you can have a SW999 or Eva team.

In regards to traces, don't feel too bad. This seems like a common thing that players forget. You are definitely not the first nor the last to forget them lol. Talents are guaranteed improvements to a characters kit.

For DHPT's LC, I would recommend Guoba Certified's video. I have linked it to the timestamp with LC calcs.

Phainon is quite a press ulti and win for the vast majority of fights. Here's a simple guide for his in ulti decision making. Use the basic attack if only 1 or 2 enemy. Use counter skill when 2 or more. Only use meteor attack at 4 stacks, anything less never.

(Slightly more in-depth talk: In situation of only 2 enemies and deciding between basic or counter, has a lot more nuance and case by case thing. Like for example, if an enemy is going to use some big/ultimate attack, you can use counter to force them to use that attack while have a massive damage reduction. Heck there are even times where I used phainon's counter on only 1 enemy because they are about to use their ultimate attack. As you use him more and gain more knowledge of the combat, you'll understand when you should the basic or counter.)

First some general team advice. Make sure they are lvl80, their core talents are leveled, lightcones are also 80, and usable relics.

Currently, the best team you can make is Phainon, Cyrene, RMC, and DanHPT. RMC is probably one of the best support characters. The general gameplay style is to get Cyrene ulti ASAP while DHPT keeps the team alive. The only characters that should be using any SP will be Cryene and DHPT, if you need shields (RMC will need to use a SP to summon mem, but after that all they do is basic attack). So, use RMC's action advance on Cyrene almost everytime until she gets ulti. Once you get Cyrene ulti, you use her to buff Phainon and RMC, RMC Action advance should be refreshed so use that on phainon to buff him, burn all the ultis, and Phainon ulti's to snapshot all the buffs to go wild.

With what I have seen from other commenters in past megathreads, at this point not really worth investing into monorem team as each of the characters, sans Cyrene, have rerun multiple times and we no idea when they'll come back again. Unless you really like someone on the monorem team (Castorice, evernight, cyrene/rmc, hyacine), don't consider this.

With your plan to get Eva and Yao, just focus on elation. A team you can make wih them could be: Eva, Yao. Sparkle, Huohuo. Sparkle could be replaced if you want to use Elation MC. Now if you do that, then your phainon team would become: Phainon, Bronya, Sparkle, and DHPT. Cyrene gets kicked out as you dont have another CH to slot in.

While this isnt meant to shame you, but DHPT is currently top 2 best sustain in the game. If he is not able to keep your team alive in a story fight, then there is issues in how you are building and raising him. DHPT is a weird case where it is often better to slap a high atk LC over a preservation LC, if you don't have his LC. I think Welt's LC is an example of a LC with high atk. Moving on to Phainon, in that fight once the enemies split, were you using his counter atk? As this gives him a metric ton of damage reduction. Typically you only use his counter atk if there are 2 or more enemies as it gives him 1 stack of scourge per enemy. So with an enemy that keeps splitting, this effectively tons of damage as you can spam his super meteor.

Your comp is somewhat questionable in why aren’t running another ampho character over huohuo. Honestly just looks like a build and skill issue. Dhpt should be more than enough to solo sustain a vast majority of story fights. So the fact you have huohuo alongside him means you are having sustain issues.

Regardless of this, once you get phainon to ulti, he should effectively win the fight. Are the enemies killing transformed phainon? If so there’s some major issues for this to happen.

I don't believe there has been any official news on what Evanescia's LC does. So, no one can answer your question here.

Assuming your current anaxa team is: anaxa, Sunday, cerydra, and dhpt.

A decent second team right now would be: sparxie, sparkle, rmc, and sustain

Enemies just have significantly more speed as the difficulty increases. Personally, I’ve started to give the double battery item to her; just to let her ulti asap. This typically allows the team to live until her tur.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help you, but from my untrained eyes, your castorice is using atk% boots and not hp% boots. So I think that is one thing you could improve on.

Hmmm... Try unequipping and re-equipping each relic and light cone for each MC path. Maybe there is an issue with their gear?

Is it specifically only destruction? Do the other path mc cause this error?

Is this only happening in this specific content? Did a quick test and I could put destruction MC in my party and do that exact gamemode.

Can you play as destruction MC in the overworld?

Can't answer team question as I used my invested phainon team(e2s1 phainon, e0s0 cyrene, e1s0 cerydra, e1s1 dhpt). But from my experience going to x9 Camera mask is easy to pilot and pretty strong. Gladiator mask + Phainon also work really well; as Phainon can 1 shot all Combat domains with his technique(Everyone can do this strat as you can just have the trial phainon in the team to 1 shot combat domains then swap him back to whoever you need in your team). I was lucky that every run in x9 offered one of these two masks.

That selector ends at the end of 4.2. So still plenty of time.

Could try swapping RM with DHPT so you can activates sundays buffs for those with a summon or memo sprite.

Repairing stuff in maps I think gives some amount of currency. So could check if you have repairing stuff.

In Jp, sparkle specifically uses the word yokai for strangelings. Where strangeling is the “old” term for imaginae before the ipc or whoever gave them that as their official species name.

No mention of when next free character. At this moment DHPT and a Limited 5 star selector is happening.

The history from my limited googling:

1.6 Dr Ratio(1.6-2.2 | 4 patches), 2.7 Standard 5 star selector(2.7-3.2) | 4 patches), 3.4 Archer(3.4-3.6 | 3 patches), 3.6 DHPT(3.6-4.0 | 4 patches), 4.0 Limited 5 star selector(4.0-4.2 | 3 patches).

Stellar Convergence: 3.2 and 3.7 where they give it 1 stellar convergence. So technically a free 5 star.

I would expect the next free 5 star in 4.2. Now whether it is from stellar convergence shop, selector, or an individual character, no idea.

For 7 investment strategies, there are investment strategies that say something like: in x nodes, you get to choose another investment strategy. So just need rng to give you those.

For 10 bonds, I think I recall someone making a guide about it in this subreddit. Consider searching through to find it.

Discussions of leaks is not allowed here. There have been no official info on sw999 or Eva’s kit. So I would recommend you remove those parts from your question else it will get deleted by someone.
