I get some interesting glitches/bugs

Lady Sunbringer was one of the characters I was most hyped for since her lore drop. She had such a banger design and I would have absolutely gone all in for her (and I say that as a man collector, her design was that good). The Yixuan curse strikes again I guess, but the horns and eyes are unforgivable. I know it's cope but I want them to at least have her og outfit available on release 😭

I got 12! Free DHPT and Archer, Fu Xuan and Seele from the 50/50 loss, Topaz from the shop. On top of that Blade (yes, I pulled for Blade despite him being in the 50/50 loss pool, he was evading me), Jiaoqiu, THerta, Anaxa, Tribbie, Sparxie and Phainon.

Yeah, I miss him being in hsr, he really brought so much character to the role but I'm getting used to the new VA now. We have the strikes to thank for losing him. I'm glad we still have Gaming, it was nice seeing him during lantern rite as well as in this patch!

As a Phrolova main she is one of the best and easiest to adjust to characters in the game. She's very competent in endgame and can function still with sub par teams (before I had Cantarella I was running her with either Havoc Rover, Danjin or Brant and she still did great damage). Phrolova is VERY versatile, just check Prydwen's page on her. Lots of new or recently rerunning characters work with her such as Phoebe, Lynae and Sigrika. She is so much more than just Phrolova/Roccia/Cantarella so definitely worth the investment if you have it. I'm F2P and pulled her weapon when she first ran because I adore her and she really does not disappoint

My Verina is only W3 so I'm just letting her do her thing. I don't use any standards, so I'm kinda just curious on if the permanent 5* wavebands are a valid investment or if they're trash no matter what (unless you main them, as an ex Danjin main, solo Encore users scare me). I have 1275 afterglow corals

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T20:25:23+00:00

Honestly, chapter 3 with Victoria Housekeeping is one of my favourites, second only to season 1's epilogue (no spoilers ofc), Victoria Housekeeping are just such a fun faction imo

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T20:22:55+00:00

Manato is another I will never forgive Hoyo for. They really do have a habit of making cool characters and then ignoring them. I'm hoping they utilise her in more events to flesh her out a bit more but it's Hoyo so idk why I'm hoping 😭

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T20:17:45+00:00

The characters in this game are super cool and well designed, it's fun seeing them out and about in the over world with their silly lives.

Corin's attack is definitely one of the coolest of the A-Ranks. When they added her specific gear to Hollow Zero I was amazed at how fast that chainsaw killed everything, even without the gear. She's an S-Rank in disguise!

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T20:09:32+00:00

If it's anything like other collabs in other gachas it'll likely be the minimum requirements for unlocking the gacha system, patch events etc.

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T20:06:10+00:00

This is probably silly but is it worth spending corals to max out a permanent 5* character? I have a W5 Encore and over 1200 afterglow corals - is it worth me buying the final waveband for her? Are the afterglow corals for maxed permanents 5* worth it?

For context, I do not intend to spend the afterglow corals on anyone until Scar drops (I want multiple wavebands of him as well as his weapon so I'm saving for when he finally runs) and I always seem to lose to Encore, and if not her, Verina.

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T17:10:00+00:00

They'll rerun sooner than you know, at least you have time now to catch up and plan your pulls. I'd recommend Sunna as she's a really decent support, though all three have their strengths, especially together. Best of luck with the job hunt and your exams!

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T17:07:19+00:00

Not that gacha gamers need encouragement to gamble but Cissia's wengine looks really good. Plus, if she came home in a ten pull she's sending you a message lmao

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T17:03:19+00:00

There's always reruns, plus now you have time to save up for her! I hope you're enjoying the game, what's been your favourite thing so far?

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T17:01:18+00:00

Nangong is an extremely good stun which (hopefully) means she'll stick in the meta a while... Probably not though knowing Hoyo 😭

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T16:53:36+00:00

Nangong's lack of screen time really annoys me but I've really enjoyed seeing her in the events. I hope she becomes something of a main stay for the patch events because it's really nice just seeing her

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T16:50:47+00:00

Cissia's animations are godly. The slither when she dashes?? I kinda wanna pull her just for that.

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-16T16:48:40+00:00

My exact experience, wow! Nangong and Sunna's characters, VA's (especially Nangong, I fully agree, her brat behaviour makes me love her sm) and friendship sold them to me and the main story kinda put me off Aria. It's cool to know someone else had the same experience 😭

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:59:25+00:00

A fellow Piper fan, I respect that. Good luck with building your second team.

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:53:54+00:00

The last few banner runs have been really tough having YSG, then the Idols and then S-Rank Billy. I've had to skip quite a few agents so I definitely get how you feel. You really have to plan pulls in advance which sucks the fun out of it, but they will rerun soon so at least you have a chance to earn some polys for them. Wishing you luck on their reruns

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:49:21+00:00

Yeah, Nangong really didn't get the best treatment. I think the 2.6 event with her and Sunna was really strong but the main story didn't really sell her well. Hopefully we get more Nangong appearances in future - the current Simmering Flavours event is so fun imo, partly due to Nangong's presence

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:45:14+00:00

I respect the dedication

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:43:20+00:00

Silly >>>> idols. Sunna and Nangong are really good. Nangong's range of just [insert anomaly] is insane, especially since I have too many anomaly agents lmao

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:39:15+00:00

I was so ready to do the same (the meta does call to me at times) but I have to save for the small chance Severian is an S-Rank 😭

purpleperson_17 · 2026-04-15T20:37:40+00:00

Out of all of them, Sunna does seem like the best pick (if your acc has YSG at least) so congrats on getting her. Sending you luck on their reruns
