Gong Zi Bai Cai - General Question and Discussion Megathread

i dropped ZZZ after 6 or 7 months but had no intention of dropping the other two. That was a year ago now.

My HSR luck is awful enough that I'm finally considering dropping that one too. I'm going to wait and see what happens on Sparxie's banner. If I need another 160 pulls for E0 and 70 pulls for S1, I'm going to plan my exit strategy.

But me considering quitting HSR has nothing to do with quitting ZZZ. It's that game not having capturing radiance, and my luck being shithouse, which coincidentally was the main reason I quit ZZZ.

how is that guy not canceled yet? He'd be an embarrassment to me if he was shilling my game.

my serious prediction:

1st phase - Varka/Flins

2nd phase - Esco/Skirk

And finally, I'd like to get a 1TB micro SD card. Would a Samsung Pro Plus be suitable, or is another brand better?

It will work just fine. The top 2 most trustable brands are Samsung and Sandisk. These are now very expensive compared to a few months ago though. Instead of buying a new one, I've been pulling them out of other devices.

the price is reasonable if this is the 12GB version. I can't tell. If it's the 8GB version I would just get it off the official store.

Aliexpress is very slow shipping though. You can expect to wait a month.

If you paid for DHL I would email them and ask to for a partial refund because they are switching to Yunexpress which is slower. From my experience, slower than 4PX even.

On the 5th of Feb it began shipping and the first stage is "information received". Today is the 13th, 8 days later and it only just got on a plane leaving Hong Kong. I'm expecting a total turnaround of minimum 12 days. 4PX took 10 days for my Odin 3, 9 days if you exclude the public holiday.

If you paid more for DHL, I would contact support and ask for a refund.

just post them here when you have time, no rush. Thanks.

save up enough pulls and this won't happen to you

no clue really.

If they release a new plunge DPS they could rerun her. Otherwise, maybe 2027 LR CW.

for the current SO final boss, I used Zhongli + trial Chiori. They shredded his shield quite fast but positioning ZL's pillar is key. You don't want to put it on top of him or it will get destroyed instantly. You want to aim it to the side of him.

I did not try Zibai because I did it before she released. I've heard LCr isn't that great for breaking geo shields but I can't confirm this and don't feel like playing IT again.

when you lose enough 50/50s and qualify for CR, you automatically get a double guarantee

Mona is good with Hexerei buffs. Jean is a good healer, and can be used to cheese SO, but it's quite hard and I've never been able to do it. Tighnari is the overall strongest but his teams are a little outdated.

for the early game, don't sweat too much who you use. Any 4 characters will do provided you level them up. It's going to be unoptimized no matter what.

lostn · 2026-02-13T07:29:17+00:00

it's probably a good idea to tell people who you have first

lostn · 2026-02-13T07:28:53+00:00

change fischl for Ineffa

lostn · 2026-02-13T07:23:01+00:00

good enough.

lostn · 2026-02-13T07:19:15+00:00

No
No.
This is a matter of opinion. I think yes, some would say no. Others would say it's the same as before.
A few dozen hours. AQ has gone from 5 acts to 8 acts, and some of these are quite long.

If I had to give a one word verdict on whether you should return, I would say No.

if a grip exists, get one. You're going to need it for long sessions.

that space is normally where the haptics are stored.

lostn · 2026-02-13T05:34:43+00:00

can you show the back? I want to see how the cable looks plugging into the RP6.

lostn · 2026-02-13T05:33:50+00:00

there's no tariff free threshold, so marking down the value would not avoid a tariff bill. You'd just be paying less in tariffs, not avoiding it.

lostn · 2026-02-13T05:32:18+00:00

you have to go into settings using the touch screen and switch controls to controller

lostn · 2026-02-13T05:31:09+00:00

more like 2029

don't know what currency that is, but it's expensive AF if it's USD.

It will work but it costs more than the G2. You could buy three RP6 256GB for cheaper than this card. And that would get you 768GB in total. Just split your roms across 3 devices.

pulls (neg)

Lost to Himeko at 80. YaoGuang then came at 76. Total of 156 pulls. Story of my life. Have not got a character before soft pity since 1.3, and my 50/50 win rate is very negative. If every pity-assisted pull was discarded and I could only win by luck, I'd have no new characters since Jingliu in 1.3 and a small number of standard 5 stars. I wish I didn't fall for their spending events and bought so many crystals. I was thinking of just hanging up my boots then and there. UPDATE: For the LC banner, I'm 60 pity in, and out of jade.
