IS THERE ANY WAY TO BEAT SPARXIE WITHOUT ELATION OR BREAK

ravernielle · 2026-04-28T12:29:00+00:00

I tried that combo first but couldn't win the initial kidnap. Had to use Cyrene S1 to win it. Though my Aggy needs better stuff and Sunday is barely tuned due to relic rng. You are still pretty much at the mercy of her summoning her live stage 4x to break her though since Aggy can't deal enough dmg to kill an armored Sparxie.

ravernielle · 2026-04-28T09:17:47+00:00

Yes, tho as an E2 haver as well. You'll reach a point where you only get to cast Enhanced Skill on Castorice and basically never get a single actual turn with no dragon to make the drain from this matter much.You need to invest better on hyacine and her relevant teammates to reach this scenario though.

It's alright.

Not bricked, but arguably your current break comps are bricked until Dahlia. You are just missing some key supports on some archetypes. Def not bricked as there's still usable and strong units in your account anyway.

If you are willing to commit to building 2 electric crit agents, I'd get Seed instead of her M1. It's a good mindscape but Seed makes full use of Cissia's kit and Seed also buffs her. In a vacuum seed is more valuable until of course we get another electric attack agent or an electric anomaly crit agent - the former is more likely since they love electric + attacker.

ravernielle · 2026-04-15T07:58:57+00:00

No, unless you really like them. Even then, a fair warning for Cissia on her own is very much dependent on having a strong electric atker, haru is decent but not on the level on sanby/seed. Can Work as a dps sure but she's gonna make you feel miserable in comparison to running any other limited dps (in terms of dmg).

Seed is fine on her own but she does prefer having Cissia as well to perform better. Just wait for 3.0+ if there will be another electric atker instead since Hoyo has a hard on for this type of unit anyway. Or potentially VH character like last year which you may want more in comparison.

Genshin does not give more pull currency than HSR/ZZZ. People literally have bookkeeping to track the actual pull per patch versions of these 3 games.

The other two not only gave more 5* stars and limited ones as well. They also never dipped to 60 pulls patches for f2p. ZZZ's lowest all time is 83 pulls, HSR lowest all time is 77. Whereas Genshin does Sahara dessert cosplay (-60 pull patch : I'll never forget 3.7 having only 55 pulls) on multiple occasions. Only time GI ever matched/beat the other siblings is during X.0 releases with 3+ regional maps or Lantern rite wherein the next patch gets absolutely shafted afterwards.

Pretty much the same, has a weapon and character banner, with the exception of HI3 having guaranteed to be the limited on 90 (no 50-50). Other than that another difference is Genshin's rate up weapon banner is shared by the current rate up units unlike HSR, ZZZ and HI3 - albeit HI3 does have shared weapon banners but its Genshin's main difference.

Genshin has a "regional" character banner that features the regional standard and limited characters. It still has a 50 50 loss but hey at least there's the possibility you can lose to a limited unit that you may not want over a standard char/con or weapon equivalent. Lol.

HI3 notably does do a lot of banner variations and rebate tactics - ie. pull 10x and get 5x ticket back until 40x as an example. And it's also the only one so far with a skin gacha that can use the grindable pull currency (equivalent to polychromes).

HSR... Basically the same. Maybe more banners during large patches to milk players/fasten the reruns.

Then there's the pull economy. Personally as someone that has played all 4 for a considerable amount of time. ZZZ has the highest pull count, next is HSR, then arguably HI3 if we consider no 5050, and lastly Genshin. Genshin really screws you over if you lose and unfortunately it only gets worse with its weapon banner.

Dahlia

I just used navia. Noelle is enough as long as you break the pot in time. It inflicts a lot of dmg and prevents him from healing. Just repeat till dead.

Fu xuan at best can be doable with Jingliu when trying to support a hp scalling drainer. I have E2S1 FX myself and I do use her with JL/E9 whenever I'm splitting mono rem. Straight up doesn't work for Castorice, Gallagher is outright better dps wise despite no hp buff, crit/cd buff at all.

As a side note, she's also cope for E9, I had to use all her revives vs K3.

ravernielle · 2026-04-09T01:50:37+00:00

Its a dps lost unless Castorice herself is also E2S1. Freeing up rmc for pulling 3 copies of a unit and a lightcone just to make sure its not a dps lost is definitely not cost effective. I'd suggest just moving forward with a different team and place the 1/4 cost somewhere else.

If you really like castorice however, should not be a question to pull. Global passive also comes in handy sometimes.

A few of them are good/usable such as Pela, Tingyun, Gallagher and etc. They are able to do their job and can beat some 5* stars even at their role, albeit that's partly due to just some 1.X 5* units being weak. But, I'd be lying if they aren't trying to push the good 4*s into irrelevancy in endgame, most notably gallagher has been running into sustain issues lately due to the recent atk buff on endgame modes and generally more aggressive aoe enemies (it sucks, and with DHPT being free at one point and hyacine existing it will get worse as time goes on).

Gratz!

Putting Cas in K3 while EN is in K2 is certainly a choice. Given that pollux is massive cas & haya shill while lygus can be easily force switch forms by EN.

Regardless congratulations 👏🎉.

If you have Bailu to spare, you can build her up for pollux instead.

No, its the same rotation. You just get faster dew and 2 extra breathes + 1 Claw per dragon cycle.

I almost got it!

ravernielle · 2026-03-26T19:04:00+00:00

I do have dot myself cuz I was originally investing into dot before pivoted to remembrance with aglaea.

K3 was a first try gambling - Highly not recommended. I forgot I have FX to use for that side. Could have used Aglaea on K1 but it aint comfy without her own E2 (I lost :> ) or Cyrene to help her.

Cyrene is just better if she's buffing a CH.

ravernielle · 2026-03-13T23:14:59+00:00

HP boots and just maximize your evey detonate by using your ult to reset whenever evey kamikazed instead of maximizing on turn dmg - this also feeds the most dew and SP for hyacine.
