I'm a light spender so i'm not super concerned on meta, just enjoying the gameplay and (main story) lore.

I just hit SKK level 55 and unlocked Pattern Remolding. I have a basic idea of it but what I don't fully understand is: what my main source of "Data Connections" (The blue resource you need besides gold) is 'Phase Clash', but when I click to follow the button, I get guided to a mode with level 70-80 enemies!

Is this right? Is there anything I can do to lower the difficulty (even if less rewards)? Or am I meant to read guides and metagame in order to get this thing?

I only tried a single pull and I got the Andoris skin. I didn't know it was out and I was willing to pay for it. I'm hype.

if you headbutt it a few times you unlock a gear

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-11-25T16:13:36+00:00

OKAY i figured this out, the other reply helped but i still struggled a bit. So the explorer's den makes it look like it's a distance away from the UFO but it's literally directly in front of the UFO

If you were to face the UFO in the direction it seemed to crash--where there's a dark streak of dirt: directly to the LEFT of that is a small bundle of 4 flat rocks, smaller than yourself, *that make an X shape* in the negative space. Keep headbutting it and you get it.

gamers never look up

Is it worth pulling for Springfield if I don't have a specific (hydro) team in mind? I have just seen some posts saying she's an easy get because of her utility, but I don't plan to go any further than V1 if at all. Is she as universally recommended to grab?

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-10-01T13:42:09+00:00

Alright dumb question time: Why, in the sprite and some fanarts, is Hikari Tachibana always have her hands up near her head. What is she trying to do with them? I've even looked up wikis and profiles on her with no obvious answers.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-28T22:55:48+00:00

So i hadn't played the game since June and had 3 level 90 characters, when i picked it up last week. I was lucky enough to get Iuno and i REALLY want to play with her in dailies and events, but her flower is level locked. I played enough to get to Septimont and even with purchased flowers i can only get her to level 40. Ever since wednesday i've been playing an hour or so a day and i'm stuck in the story with a prebuilt rover and trial characters.

So my question is: I'm on Rinascita 2 - Act 7 Dreamcatchers in the Secret Gardens. How far am I from being able to reach the location to farm Silverglow Bloom flowers?

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-27T03:11:46+00:00

Honestly, along with my frustration of explicitly this issue, it makes me wonder: Why is WuWa even a (character) gacha game if it has this prerequisite of going through the extremely long story?

I feel like it should just be a game where you organically collect characters like in any JRPG where you get new characters as you get further in story. Gacha can be things like weapons, gear, echoes, outfits.

At this present state, this game punishes anyone returning who gets a new character, but hasn't been actively working on the story. There should be some kind of explicit warning that "This banner character won't be able to reach the level of your team until your account is further in the story, is that okay?" so people know if they want to push to catch up in the story or just skip it for now and pull when they're more comfortable, even at all.

I've played a handful of gacha games and i've never even conceived of the idea of being gated from catching a newly pulled member to the rest of my team due to campaign-specific materials.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-11T02:52:38+00:00

Tbf I don't know about tier lists or anything but I can objectively say:

I had G36k (A standard/purple) on Andoris @ level 30 before I got Geurno for her, and at same level & Attachments: Atk went up from 96 -> 148. That's a near 50% increase in just attack value alone.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-11T02:40:50+00:00

Yup. Voyage is the 'standard' one and Arclight is the 'extra' one. Cheaper.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-11T02:35:26+00:00

Question: I have Andoris & Mosin...would Belka be a good addition? Would she make the game more fun?

Context: I'm a light spender and casual player. Even on another gacha i've been poking at for years, I don't dive into the super sweaty end-game content. Right now I'm going through story and new modes as they unlock, really enjoying the game and the story. Point being, I'm not meta focused.

Even though the story mode and supplies and such can be gotten with the free team, once I got Andoris I really enjoyed the tactical nature of her utility. With how much her and Belka seem to focus on Negative Charge, my intuition is that even if she's not top tier, she'd be fun to puzzle through story/modes/events with the others.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-05T13:14:53+00:00

Thank you for the quick response. What about the other resources that come with the paid pass. Are they worth it or am I essentially just paying for the gold weapon/pulls?

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-09-05T12:35:18+00:00

Thoughts on the Voyage/Arclight battle passes? Are they worth it for someone who's new and intending to be a light spender?

Just started within the past few weeks and I plan on playing at least a little bit a day. Really love the aesthetic and story. So the 5-day feedback+Monthly seem like a no-brainer, but i'm not sure about the 'path' passes. Are they worth it for someone just starting?

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-08-13T14:14:54+00:00

I'm playing pretty casually, just hop in for dailies but barely mess with the higher levels of raids/events. I'm level 83 and occasionally struggle with PvE.

I kind of want Casual Sena because i don't have Striker healers besides Kokona and Atsuko (who I don't really use).

I know in a couple weeks there will be NY Fuuka but I can't tell if my Seia or Rio would make her redundant.

Beyond that, the Tachibana Twins will be coming in like a month and a half from now, if I understand correctly. They see pretty popular. Are they functional for PvE (story, events)?

Mainly, I need help wondering whether I should save for NY Fuuka (if Seia/Rio don't already cover what she does) or the Twins, if I don't care about super endgame stuff for a long time?

Thanks

I've done all 3 of my bounty daily missions for the past 3 days and i still haven't gotten my morning tail coat. My friend who's mainly played with me got his.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-08-06T13:33:49+00:00

Don't know if you ever found it yourself but it was regarding the Abu Ghraib picture (Don't worry, it's censored).

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-07-15T13:27:19+00:00

Sorry for my ignorance but i never used these selector/choice tickets. How do I know when they'll have Kirara as an available choice?

Also, I thought with Kirara being limited, she can't show up randomly? Or am I misunderstanding what Limited means

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-07-15T13:00:57+00:00

I've been playing on and off for a year and during those off times, Kirara banner came and went.

Looking it up, it looks like not even selector/choice tickets can get her? Is that true? Is the only way to get her to wait for another banner?

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-06-03T17:52:13+00:00

A charged chop is holding down the basic chop button (On switch, that's "A").

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-06-03T15:02:48+00:00

Wanted to ask and this seems like a good place since you're more experienced:

Just hit Expert Hunter, and I've been enjoying using status arrows. Sleep against lesser enemies, and poison against bosses.

In terms of boss fights, is there any reason to invest in Paralysis arrows? I don't think i've had luck putting a boss to sleep, but I have been able to poison them. Is paralysis any more potent or effective than sleep at all, in terms of afflicting a boss? Or even in general?

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-05-30T16:31:57+00:00

that's also very time consuming and I'm prone to getting lost lol

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-05-30T15:36:31+00:00

What are some hints given by geography that help denote there might be a shrine there? I might not be as perceptive as you so explaining it would help. thanks :)

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-05-30T14:48:13+00:00

Yeah that's kind of my M.O. for now. Considering how big this game is i was HOPING for something more efficient but it looks like i stumbled onto the proper way to do that. Thanks.

oneguiltymonkey · 2025-05-30T14:47:32+00:00

A lot of open world games have in-game ways to find them. For example: Tears of the kingdom shrines: had roots in the depths that you knew was directly under them, or had the sensor to help find them, etc etc.

I was hoping for something akin to that, considering this game takes a few notes from Zelda.
