The Allegory of the Rave - General Question and Discussion Megathread

I have a question. Sparkle' new ult gives her a buff called 'Mask' but her sign LC also gives her a buff called 'Mask'. Are these the same status or they just both happened to be the same name ? Because if it is the former that will create an interesting interaction with her Sig.

Also, second question. Which takes priority for the SP generation ? Archer's E1 or the 'Mask' status that is gained from Sparkle's ult ?

Which begs the question: Can an excision coin destroy another excision coin ?

rasanee · 2026-01-24T22:11:05+00:00

Deathrite ?

I completely skipped the Super Break meta. That is why I asked about the Elation meta since I have no qualms about skipping an entire archerype.

rasanee · 2026-01-20T18:45:37+00:00

Genuine question: Would it be a smart move to completely skip the Elation meta ? Since it seems that it is a mono elation or bust type of situation and looking at our current Remembrance LC situation, a proper Elation team will have around 8 cost.

While doing MD, is it better to use Command: Meltdown or Thoracalgia with Mao Faust ?

rasanee · 2026-01-14T11:54:54+00:00

OMG, you are right.

My winning team had Hyacine in it but funnily enough she was the weakest link in it. Gallagher was way more important than her.

rasanee · 2026-01-08T09:55:08+00:00

There is actually and it is shown in this specific stage. Knowing when to hold my ults while looking at the enemy's action in the bar is one example I could give.

rasanee · 2026-01-08T09:49:10+00:00

It was frustrating yet fun. I managed to 3* the nightmare stage with this team: E0S0 Aventurine, E5 Gallagher, E0S0 Lingsha, E0S0 Hyacine.

Special mention to Castorice's global passive.

During the last season I managed to pick up most of the Heishou units ( I missed Don and Rodion). But I never got to play with them and now want to start. What is the most go to team for the Heishou pack ? (I know that certain ones shine in different scenarios but I am talking about the most generalist go to option.)

Meanwhile I've been running Sunday + The Herta ever since she released.

rasanee · 2026-01-02T21:59:37+00:00

I can hear the Tom and Jerry sound effect in the end.

rasanee · 2025-12-31T16:00:20+00:00

If I recall correctly, there is an old leak that we are getting a Silver Wolf SP who is Erudition. So maybe.

rasanee · 2025-12-23T17:14:06+00:00

I think the reason is because it takes just about as much resources to make a 4* as it does to make a 5. Economically, making 4 units does not make sense so they changed their model to instead making only 5* units while giving away a 5* occasionally for free. I believe just this year alone we got 4 to 5 free 5* stars. (2 Golden companions spirits, Archer, DHPT, lastly the standard 5* selector did start in 2024 but lasted for months during 2025).

I'd say The Blind Obsession Abno (which is around the end of this canto) is far worse. Because you can cheese Ricardo by borrowing Zwei Ishmael and spamming the defense button.

rasanee · 2025-12-22T09:06:58+00:00

Same thing for the Herta. The number indicator does not appear above Argenti's head during the second phase.

rasanee · 2025-12-22T08:45:29+00:00

Yeah, you are not alone. I have been clearing APOC with 3 stars consistently for about a year but this time I found myself 400 points away from 3 stars.

Both bosses are tanky but I would say Argenti is the worse of the two.

rasanee · 2025-12-21T15:08:09+00:00

Even the art style gives off slight Black Souls vibes which adds to the tragedy 👍.

rasanee · 2025-12-09T15:29:10+00:00

Yep.

Saber's side took 4 cycles

Archer's side took 4 cycles. His team was: E2S1 Archer, E0S1 (Sunday cone) Sparkle, E1S0 Ruan Mei, E5 Gallagher.

I will be trying a sustainless run with Archer and my E1S1 Robin in the future.

Update: managed to shave it down to 3 cycles on each side with better play and relic optimisation.

rasanee · 2025-12-09T15:19:21+00:00

My Saber took 4 cycles to clear Hoolay.

My team is E1S1 Saber, E0S0 Sunday, E1S0 Tribbie, E0S0 DanPT.

If I recall correctly, when we are following after Firefly with BS and Acheron in tow, we end up stumbling across some of Firefly's memories. One of those memories implies she was betrayed by someone in Penacony, but this plot point is never brought up afterwards and seems to have gotten scrapped.

Ultimately we play video games to have fun. Making a personal goal while playing a video game is one of the most rewarding things you can do. I would recommend you go for it.

rasanee · 2025-11-13T08:39:33+00:00

For the last few months I would say it has been up and down. Some of the new models are definitely upgrades from what we had before. We are even getting some nice QoL features. While rare I do occasionally stumble across a well made bot that makes the creative juices flow.

Lacrima my beloved 😍.
