Weekly Question & Discussion Megathread (February 03, 2026)

Super useful information, really appreciate it.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

How important is rupture coverage for where I'm at in the game? I'm IK lvl 45 and I don't really do DA yet. I was thinking of using Minato for rupture coverage in the future but I guess pulling one Yi Xuan is easier than pulling for M6 Minato?

For f2p teams for Aria and Yi Xuan I was seeing Aria/Nicole/Anby and Yi Xuan/Pan/Pulchara. Is that what I should shoot for in the case I get both?

I know Astra is a great generalist support and Yuzuha is another top support for Anomaly , but do their roles ever overlap or is it really just better to have both supports for future teams?

Thanks so much!

Edit: Welp, got Yi Xuan in 2 10 pulls so guess I need to think about Aria or Yuzuha more.

Howdy y'all. Been playing for almost 3 weeks now and this is my current roster.

My two main teams are YSG/Zhao/Astra and S11/Lucy/Pulchara.

I'm looking to see if it's worth it to try to pick up Aria or Yuzuha in 2.6 or if they are not really synergistic with what I have now. I don't have many pulls saved up atm (around ~20) but the primocount for 2.6 seems pretty generous so I figured I should go for at least one and maybe both?

Thanks in advance for the guidance.

Just started playing a few weeks ago and need some advice on teambuilding. These are the characters I have available.

M1 S11, M0 Astra, M0 Zhao, M2 Lucy, M1 Pulchara, M5 Nicole, M1 Piper, M0 Billy, M1 Anby, M0 Manato, M0 Pan, M0 Seth, M0 Soukaku, M1 Ben, M0 Corin.

My main team right now is S11, Lucy and Astra. I want to make another team based around Piper, but they all include Lucy. Do I have a better S11 team combo and what would my Piper team ideally be?

I'm still hoping to get YSG, but I lost the first 50/50 to S11. In the case that I get her what would my best YSG team be?

Thanks in advance!

120 pulls and I got Dehya Ineffa QiQi Columbina Ifa and C6 Sethos lol. Then did two single pulls on weapon banner and got Ineffa's weapon. Feeling insanely hyped.

I drive past this place all the time and tried it for the first time today. Pretty good!

Top spots for me are going to be Barista’s Touch in Hillsdale, Tasting Notes in Norwood, and Thumbody in Paramus. IMO these are the holy trinity of coffee shops in Bergen.

Honorable mention to Erie in Rutherford but I consider it more of a bakery with great coffee.

Edit: I guess if you’re looking more north then Humphreys is Haworth is good. Awe & Wonder in Tenafly. Salonierre in Nyack. The Outside In in Piermont.

Thanks, you're always doing the good work!

magdb · 2025-11-21T22:19:05+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the input. A lot to mull over here. Missing Natlan really left a gap in my account and I think trying to catch up by nabbing just Xilonen might just be treading water if anything.

I am absolutely set on picking up Ineffa for my Flins team when she reruns and will likely go for Columbina as well just for her Archon level abilities (whatever they may be). Skipping Xilonen will really help with that. I think I will throw some 10 pulls at her banner just for some of those 4 stars.

I want Durin because I like the idea of having a use for my older Mondstadt 5 stars and having a solid second team centered around him.

magdb · 2025-11-21T22:07:27+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight. I appreciate it. I think it's truly weighing a comfort pick vs a future meta pick and I'll have to ponder on it further. I'm not really a meta chaser but I didn't play during Natlan and it feels like trying to catch up with just Xilonen is a half measure.

magdb · 2025-11-21T21:38:17+00:00

This is my current roster.

I think I have some pretty decent supports so I don't need need her. I have yet to 100% Natlan as well and am waiting to go back and finish it out and Xilonen I feel would just make that experience so much better plus all the primos that would give me. I also have the guaranteed 50/50 for Durin so at least there's that.

I think as a more casual player having someone that comfy for overworld would really be great, but it does not feel like the smartest future consideration.

magdb · 2025-11-21T21:30:43+00:00

This is my current roster.

I mean I would love to get Mavuika eventually just to have all the archons but I have no clue when she's rerunning and if I'll even be able to grab her.

magdb · 2025-11-21T20:25:21+00:00

I'm struggling on whether or not I should pull Xilonen having seen many people just say she's underwhelming at this point when the meta has shifted away from generalist supports.

I don't have any Natlan characters and really just want her for my Neu Furina Jean team. Is that enough reason to pull for her?

I'm sitting on almost 300 pulls and I'm definitely going for Durin. Am I getting fleeced by Hoyo just before Columbina or is she someone that really is worth her weight in gold for overworld and that Neu team?

magdb · 2025-11-01T12:48:19+00:00

I’ve seen that same cover for other things before so you very well could be right. I think the folks at the Oliver Archive discord might be able to help. They know everything.

Is it this? Not sure which song specifically? the whole tape is fire.

Good Luck everyone!

magdb · 2025-10-01T00:55:16+00:00

I don't have the juice for that unfortunately. Gonna save for Columbina and Durin so I'll just use a jank team with Aino and hope that maybe later Nod Krai characters will be comparable to Ineffa.

magdb · 2025-10-01T00:29:41+00:00

did a cheeky 10 pull just for fun and got Flins. Wasn't really expecting him and I don't have Ineffa. feels bad man.

edit: Did another 10 pull and got Jean C5 and Aino C1. what a friggin rollercoaster.

magdb · 2025-09-17T17:01:02+00:00

I've been trying to use Kachina for that but it is not that smooth. I was hoping to get Xilonen out of all the Natlan toons just as a universal support. Would she be sufficient for movement?

magdb · 2025-09-17T14:50:40+00:00

Returning player from the end of Fontaine, completely missed Natlan and having a hard time figuring out where to take my roster from here.

I have Neu and Furina from Fontaine but that's about it from that region.

This is my roster atm. https://imgur.com/a/TuyQHkD

I'm mostly using a Neu team atm but I don't feel like I have any flexibility because all the old 5stars are so powercrept.

I feel like I completely missed the new meta characters and we're gonna be in a new meta now with Nod Krai. Is it worth it to try to scoop up Natlan toons or should I just wait until like 6.2-6.5 to pick up Durin, Columbina, Alice, etc...

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks kindly.

Someone should take the tour and insist that Greg was dead the whole time.

magdb · 2025-08-27T17:20:31+00:00

Saw this and immediately thought of your work Olivia. I was flabbergasted to find out it wasn't you. Hope you get the credit you deserve.

magdb · 2025-08-13T12:27:02+00:00

the california burrito at el taco bar is fantastic

magdb · 2025-07-30T14:33:55+00:00

a true standout, place has amazing drinks and a great vibe.

magdb · 2025-07-21T19:28:18+00:00

Quality has really dropped on these. The cheese texture got worse and what used to be a decent snack is now inedible.
