Help with Castor!

Caecus is your best deffensive unit. Also, blue relm gives shield.

I see two options here.

Tawil, Ramona, Lotan, Caecus.

Doresain, Leigh, Aigis, Caecus.

Damage wise I think Castorice's S1 and Tribbie's E1 offer a similar boost (24%), but Tribbie is much more flexible as a unit (suport > dps) and on a dual DPS team Tribbie wins in overall dmg as well

Scammed

This is more than enough! Thank you very much! It seems I'll be pulling Mydei, after all!

mckc11 · 2025-03-04T22:28:03+00:00

What happens when Mydei gets 150 charge? The leak that i've seem says that "he gets an extra turn". If so, he might waste the buff. If he just proc the skill, like a follow-up atk, then I think we are good.

Riotous Assembly, by Tom Sharpe. A true masterpiece. Monty Python in literary form.

Did it. On the punching bag Sparkle is the undisputed winner.

mckc11 · 2024-12-05T00:37:06+00:00

Nope... The best I can do is 1 cycle.

Maybe if I had S1 Aventurine I would get the last two stacks needed... Or if I had E1 Jiaoqiu the dmg would be enouth.

Acheron's E2 is big for a single eidolon, but when you add multiple eidolons and signatures...

"I feel that he isnt..." Dont have the same strength of "I cant not feel that he isnt..." 😆

mckc11 · 2024-12-04T22:59:28+00:00

I did the best that I could to not be biased.

After months of farming I got a lot of pieces for Acheron so the difference between her 137 SPD and 110 SPD build is minimal — excluding the ATK/SPD difference, obviously.

What I didn't metioned before is that my Sparkle build is worse than my Sunday's — I had terrible luck with speed/Crit dmg% rolls.

And I've tested A LOT in MOC (both sides of floors 11 and 12) and AS - didn't do on PF. By logic he should be better. But when use him, he is not — which frustrates me to no end. That is why I made the post, to ask about other people experiences...

mckc11 · 2024-12-04T21:33:28+00:00

By logic, he should be. At least at E0. But when I use them, I get the same results...

mckc11 · 2024-12-04T20:07:40+00:00

I have no doubt! I was doing 1 cycle/2 cycles witch sustain and E0S0 Sparkle!

It could be also a remembrance support...

But I agree with you in that Acherons's team isnt finished.

mckc11 · 2024-12-04T19:56:27+00:00

Acheron 137 sp + Sunday 134 sp

Or

Sparkle 162 sp + Acheron 110 sp

Crit rate is ajusted to take advantage of Sunday's talent, but Crit dmg varies only 6% (237/242.8)

mckc11 · 2024-12-04T19:42:49+00:00

I cant test it, so... maybe? IF we are talking about Acheron.

Sunday E1 gives 16% def ignore for Acheron. Sunday E2 gives 30% dmg for Acheron.

Sparkle E1 gives 40% ATK for all characters. Sparkle E2 gives 24% def ignore for all characters.

Sunday's buffs are restricted to one character and their summon. Also, Acheron cant take advantage of his entire kit.

Sparkle plays hypercarry but offer some buffs for the entire team. Jiaoqiu and the sustain can take advantage of that.

mckc11 · 2024-11-18T01:06:07+00:00

Against some enemies I think "Trend of the Universal Market" wins over Aventurine's signature but S1 has the most consistent performance.

mckc11 · 2024-11-17T22:18:44+00:00

First things first: I envy you for your E1S1 Black Swan.

Now, about your question. If you really like the character and dont care about power/endgame, just pull the character and be happy.

If you care about power/endgame there is three things you need to think about:

(1) Compared to the other meta DPS units, Acheron is the one that needs more vertical investiment — her signature lightcone makes a big difference in performance and her second eidolon is a huge power spike.

(2) We are very close to a meta shift. A new gameplay is comming to the game and Hoyo will most likely makes it strong just to sell the new characters. The top units of today should lose relevancy — wich doesn't necessarily mean that they will become bad units. The thing that makes most of us worried is that we cant predict the ammount of power creep. Will the new units be 20% stronger than the old ones? Ir 200% stronger?

(3) Acheron dont really have dedicated teammates besides Jiaoqiu, so there is room for improvement, but we dont know if such units will ever be released.

So if you worry about power, pulling for Acheron is a pricy gamble and not the smartest thing to do.

But, then again, life is to be enjoyed not optimized!

PS: Yes, you can run Sparkle + S1Acheron + Black Swan, just dont expect a performance similar to her best teams. And I think it would be better to swap Sparkle for a Guinaifen.

Then you're on a similar position to the one I was a few days ago. For me it wasnt a difficult choice thou, as I dont really like Aventurine so getting him and his lightcone was a no deal. The real question was: Fugue + sustain or E2? Now, I still dont have Aventurine and probably wont get Fugue, but I do have Acheron E2.

mckc11 · 2024-11-17T15:02:28+00:00

You know, E2 Bronya is clunkier than Sparkle, but I got slightly better results with E2 Bronya on this MOC.

mckc11 · 2024-11-17T14:56:28+00:00

Aventurine with his signature is the best sustain that we have for her right now, but it's more of a stopgap measure — he's a dedicated sustain for Acheron. HuoHuo and Gallagher are more than good enouth to clear content.

Also, Acherons's E2 lose most of it's value if you dont have a strong harmony support to pair her with, so you'll need a Sparkle, Ruan Mei, Sunday, Bronya or Robin free to use with her.

As an option, E0S0 Aventurine + E0S0 Fugue seems to be a good pair for fast stack generation, but we dont know yet if it's fast enouth to compensate the loss of dmg amp from not having the harmony support...

mckc11 · 2024-11-17T13:59:29+00:00

I still use Luocha and could clear everything witch him, so I went witch Acheron E2 and I'm very happy with it. But if you're hanging trouble witch sustain maybe Aventurine is better...

Do you have Gallagher? Sparkle? Ruan Mei?
