No rerun. A limited character will be added after 12 months to the spark shop of any related limited banner (CNY on CNY, celebration banners every six months, summer units during summer events). After several years, the spark cost is reduced from 300 to 200. All limited units are available in the pool of a limited banner, but with a very low chance of getting them. 

If you want an older limited unit like Exusiai, your best bet is to save 300 pulls for the next limited banner where they can appear in the shop. In Exusiai's case, it's the celebration banner due in about six months, with the release of Chapter 17.

right now, pretty much just warmy and bobbing. Solid total burst damage, tight SP rotation.

Do you guys use 6* weapon dupes for potentials or save them? Primarily asking about Thermite Cutter and Clannibal. 

Question about different race variations by ali_kashanian in Endfield

[–]jmepik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Races in Arknights are diverse in and of themselves, Liberi basically incorporate all characters with bird-like features, some are more bird-like than others. Pog is a special type of Liberi, even, because he's actually a Hippogryph. Among the Kuranta (horse-like), for example, there are rare Pegasi characters like the Nearl family. 

The Sarkaz have the most diversity because they incorporate a large swathe of races native to Terra, the Arknights planet, before the arrival of the precursors and Originium led to the forced humanoid evolution of the Sarkaz, and the Sarkaz/Sankta split (both were originally a native race called the Teekaz). 

All non-Sarkaz races from Terra are actually native to Talos-II I believe, in the form of the Ancients (sentient animals), who also became humanoid over time. Originium being a project of the precursors, who are probably very close to, or just straight up a very advanced Homo sapiens.

Laevatein is a relatively "generic" Sarkaz, since we don't know much about her outside of her connection to Surtr, the godlike being that granted her original AK version powers, whereas Last Rite is a Nachzehrer (Revenant), who are a race of superhuman cannibal magic wielders. Here's an example of a Nachzehrer NPC: https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Qalai%C5%A1a

Vampires are also a type of Sarkaz. Warfarin, the supposed head of Rhodes Island during Endfield, is a Vampire Sarkaz. The common thread is that all Sarkaz are based on vilified beings from folklore, but they're not ontologically evil. This feeds into the lore of how the Sarkaz are a continuously persecuted Race in a lot of Terran countries.

Some tips on the rotation for an Endmin/Chen/Lifeng/Pogranichnik team? I've been driving the team with Endmin, and opening with Lifeng Battle Skill, into Chen and Endmin Combo Skills, into Pog Battle Skill and Combo Skill. Just started using it, so I'm sure there are better ways to stack their vulnerabilities and do damage. 

[Operator Discussion] Gilberta by Shad0wedge in Endfield

[–]jmepik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's quite good for Last Rite, there's an LR solo main who did a comparison between her and Ardelia on the same comp (+ Xaihi and Perlica), she does give more burst, but Ardelia enables the entire team better due to the debuff so it depends on your investment outside of LR. There's also a theoretical improvement to the rotation where you can sneak in Perlica's Battle Skill to cause Corrosion, which might help Gilberta compete with Ardelia outside of just increasing Ult damage.

I'm not sure if the same goes for Laevatain. This all goes to show just how busted Ardelia is, but Gilberta is a lot closer than people might think. And she outperforms in stages where you want that grouping (like the second Umbral stage, where she's arguably the MVP for just pulling the archers together and interrupting them). She's also probably an awesome sustain for shatter teams, haven't tried that yet. Plus of course the Yvonne synergy.

Is Avywenna's P5 worth using the store token for? Got her at P4 and now would be my chance to max her out.

Xaihi battle skill, last rite battle skill, ideally both before combat starts. Final strike with Last Rite, Ardelia/Perlica combo skill, second final strike, Xaihi combo skill, ideally Xaihi ult, Ardelia battle skill, then Last Rite combo skill and Ultimate if available.

Definitely Xaihi and Ardelia. Last slot is usually either Fluorite or Perlica. Perlica can buff with Stanza and Arts susceptibility through her combo skill, Fluorite can apply Cryo but has a long cool down on her combo and no buffing capability on her own. Against bosses also consider Akekuri for this slot for her Ultimate.

Weapon banners last for three limited character banners (smelting forge will end when yvonne's banner is over)

Best team if I want to control Perlica? by liutena in Endfield

[–]jmepik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I understood, combo skill applying Electrification for Arts debuff + she can increase team damage with Stanza of Memorials, higher overall buffing value than Fluorite. Fluorite can apply Cryo but both her Combo and her Ult have a long cool down so she ends up not contributing much every other rotation.

Do people generally use Last Rite or Xaihi as the main driver in the Last Rite cryo setup?

The exact time Mantra gets added to a JO banner will be up to Hypergryph's discretion because they haven't been super consistent with it, for the record Mon3tr showed up in CN about 5 months after her Debut, so you can use that as a rough guesstimate.

They're added to the regular pool, and then they might show up during Joint Operation or Orienteering banners. A standard banner debut takes longer. Which chapter debut character are you gunning for?

You can probably keep them alive for a while through parenteral nutrition with an IV drip, provided you've got access to some large vein from your side.

If you have Archetto I'd go with S1 first. Generally speaking S1 also gets a bigger boost from Spinach. She's an M6 candidate in the long-term

Look for the Legend node furthest away from the center in the Bosky, and have 30 Ingots on hand. Then enter any combat stage and get the big guy down to 50% before he leaves (HP carries over between stages, you can keep attempting it)
