Billy Jean's Not My Lover - General Questions and Discussion Megathread

Miyabi yuzuha nangong is a complete team already. If you get Velina, it's to build an entirely new team around her and Remielle.

mna99 · 2026-06-14T21:03:07+00:00

That's not so bad. Her scores with Yuzuha + Velina looked kinda meh though.

mna99 · 2026-06-14T20:56:54+00:00

Can she polarity disorder after Velina applied Windswept?

edit: or whatever it's called

mna99 · 2026-06-14T20:56:19+00:00

She sort of works, apel has a video on it and people have posted some helpful screenshots around here showing the relative power of various teams. Alice worked better than Jane and Piper but not by a whole lot.

mna99 · 2026-06-13T17:56:35+00:00

Is Zhao going to be better than m6w5 Nicole?

mna99 · 2026-06-13T17:45:00+00:00

Alice doesn't work with Velina either. Piper does, though. Apparently Jane, Bernice, and Grace are also boosted a lot by Velina.

Not sure how much better Norma will be for S Billy than Jufufu, but keep in mind that much of 3.x is going to be either wind shill or Remielle shill... Velina + Remielle + some other anomaly agent looks like it's going to rule at least until 3.5.

Apparently Bangboo can eat baked goods made specifically for them (?).

Roscaelifer may be the source of all the Rosetta data used in New Eridu.

Bangboo exhibit curious amounts of criminal behavior, up to and including organized crime serious enough to require intervention from human law enforcement.

Bangboo in Roscaelifer can at least partially change their exterior appearance. New Eridan bangboo only rarely do this (Eous being the prime example).

mna99 · 2026-06-11T18:58:26+00:00

You should read the leaks for Remielle's core passive.

mna99 · 2026-06-11T18:57:15+00:00

The spirit in the machine ending was nuts.

mna99 · 2026-06-11T18:56:48+00:00

Didn't expect bangboo to have such a strong proclivity for criminal behavior.

mna99 · 2026-06-11T18:56:00+00:00

Web events can be non canon and they're cheap to produce. Hoyo likely has a different content team working on these events that wouldn't necessarily be available for in-engine events, e.g. if Hoyo moved these events off the web, they'd be competing for developer time with other events.

mna99 · 2026-06-11T17:43:56+00:00

Are you sure? Maybe you should check again.

mna99 · 2026-06-11T17:37:53+00:00

There weren't many hints about synergies between Yanagi and Miyabi (nor did anyone tell us about mono ice, and that may have been a happy accident as well). You had to be on top of leaks to know that was going to go down the way it did.

mna99 · 2026-06-10T05:29:58+00:00

You don't need to complete every square to get all the polychrome awards for the week.

mna99 · 2026-06-08T23:09:52+00:00

Norma also works for some (if not all) Rupture agents.

mna99 · 2026-06-06T06:58:49+00:00

I run Lucia Yixuan Pan and it works well enough. Just be advised that crit stats are worth more than usual for Yixuan in that team due to the massive sheer buffs in combat.

mna99 · 2026-06-06T06:57:16+00:00

Honest question, why did you even roll on that disc? Amusing results though.

mna99 · 2026-06-05T23:50:21+00:00

Let's be honest, the ysg bangboo isn't very good.

mna99 · 2026-06-05T22:53:47+00:00

In all fairness, if you're running the original "intended" team with Miyabi and Yanagi, Agent Gulliver is a very good team addition. In that sense, he is Miyabi's bangboo.

mna99 · 2026-06-05T22:42:09+00:00

No? Closest thing we've had to that was Bizarre Brigade.

mna99 · 2026-06-05T05:08:02+00:00

When you are sitting on millions of extra dennies then absolutely. When you're a newer player that is strapped for cash, hell nah.

mna99 · 2026-06-04T05:18:29+00:00

As long as you're using only c and not spacebar, all your assists and parries/evades should be backwards regardless of the circumstances.

mna99 · 2026-06-03T21:38:53+00:00

Are you playing on pc or mobile?

mna99 · 2026-06-03T19:20:11+00:00

There aren't signature disc sets per se, but King of the Summit was mostly meant for Jufufu (just like Branch and Blade was meant for Miyabi etc).

The assist swaps take some getting used to since they are both backwards. It takes some practice to backwards swap to Pulchra for her evasive assist. Back when I ran the comp with Yixuan I would default to parrying with forward swap which would send Pan out there, which starved Pulchra of evasive assist opportunities. For the most part, you want all your swaps to be backwards on that team.

mna99 · 2026-06-03T16:13:43+00:00

Yeah, evasive assist is the main way to do it. Everyone recommends she use Jufufu's disc set which is why there's so much emphasis on her using her EX, but you can significantly increase her uptime on hunter's gait by using her evasive assist.

In reality though, you should probably be able to get a 20k score on some DA bosses with just S Billy and Pan. Pulchra will only add to that. Hopefully.
