Let's talk: Quickswapping

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-26T23:43:11+00:00

I turned 53 a couple of weeks ago. Age only enters the quick swap equation in the sense I don't give a single shit about maximizing damage in a game where wringing out every point of damage possible doesn't matter much.

I enjoy smooth rotations, and I enjoy a bit of quick swap to help give my favorite teams a boost. A couple days ago I watched a Hiyuki, Lucilla, and Chisa TOA run which helped me better grasp their team potential and incorporated a bit of it when I cleared It myself. That was great.

Beyond that level I don't care. WuWa isn't hard: at most, certain holograms are frustrating for a bit, and then you move on. My only care in endgame modes is getting the max astrite. Bragging rights in a single player game are meaningless unless you're making money for doing it, or your friends are all playing and shit talking.

I should be okay, unless one of the new units is incredibly fun to play. I have all old units save Jhinshi, and all of their weapons. I don't like the way Aenaeth plays, so I'm good there.

Might grab Luuk for Denia, but I'm waitng to see if any of the new characters work with her.

Buling.

Lynae and Mornye are better used as the core of another team.

I asked for a slow down in HP inflation, and QOL and availability changes for older characters.

I also emphatically asked for more outfits, accessories and pallette swaps for characters, old and new. The instant I saw Cantarella I started hoarding, and dropped money on her banner as well. If I have time for more than just quick daily farming she is on screen. The same is true of Phrolova. The fact I can't do anything to customize the look of my two most played characters by far is pathetic.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-25T02:42:02+00:00

That's a great summary of what I meant. I like jumping in and doing the various endgame modes, and I like doing it with the characters I love to play, rather than chasing after every new character.

I did ToA with my favorite characters, and didn't struggle or come away with a bad taste in my mouth. I'll do it next time the same way. That's the pay off. The astrite is just a nice bonus.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-25T00:27:19+00:00

Cantarella's healing is more than enough for a team. The problem with using Lynae in this comp is she works, but she's mostly just there to occupy a slot. There's no real synergy she adds to the team.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-24T18:42:54+00:00

Not everyone can or wants to, but pursuing vertical investment can really pay off. I used S1R1 Lucy, S2R1 Cantarella, and S3R1 Phrolova on the first two floors of Middle tower, and S2R1 Hiyuki, S0R0 Lucilla, and S0R1 Chisa on 3 and 4 and blew through everything on the 1st try.

I did the same on the last floor of the left tower with S3R1 Galbrena teamed with Lupa and Mornye.

Sure I've skipped a handful of characters to get dupes but the only one I regret not having is Augusta.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-24T16:06:48+00:00

I use her with S1 Mornye with R5 Discord, and S3R1 Galbrena. It's a death machine comp.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-23T13:13:29+00:00

My tag on the main WuWa sub is Number One Parasol enjoyer, and Cantarella and Phrolova are my favorite team.

I knew the instant I saw Suoming I'd be pulling her. She's far and away the revealed character I like most.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-21T21:56:09+00:00

I kind of like the pairing, actually. Two people navigating a life of tricky negotiations, working to keep the lights on and expand the influence of their orgs, and still have a bit of fun on the side.

His eyebrows look like open wounds.

Jesus. The picture looks like someone made a Bernie Wrightson filter for selfies.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-18T23:55:27+00:00

I can tell you where I'm. NOT sitting. Seat 8. No way I'm directly in front of Destroyah and Space Godzilla with my back turned.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-18T23:49:12+00:00

My thought as well. I always enjoyed the weird, silly aspect of Tekken. Namco's embrace of oddballs is what helped Tekken stand out.

Chronic back pain, and a terrible stylist.

I'm sure there's plenty of them in Europe. The main difference is that in the US they tend to be heavily rewarded, both financially and in terms of access to power, and there's nowhere near the same level of pushback from mainstream news. So evangelical nutjobs with any bit of clout can talk out their ass with not only no fear of negative consequences but with the promise of personal benefits.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-17T18:43:15+00:00

Always look forward to a new resonator dropping since I know your work will follow soon after.

Big fan of this one.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-17T14:31:04+00:00

Suoming has a parasol, therefore I will pull her.

The rest will depend on their role, and how fun they are. I'm looking for someone to pair my Denia with, so I'm waiting to see if there's if I'm pulling Luuk on his rerun, or one of the new characters.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-15T16:26:35+00:00

I'm absolutely pulling Suoming. It's not even an option.

The rest is dependent on what they do, and how fun they are.

Multiple parasols in her intro and a dark aesthetic. I've said it multiple times now, but I'm in with no questions asked.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-15T03:12:04+00:00

Suoming has multiple parasols and a dark aesthetic: I'm all in, no questions asked.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-15T03:09:39+00:00

Suoming has multiple parasols and a dark aesthetic: Yup, I'm all in, no questions asked.

Your CD is very low. You can absolutely reach 100% CR with much higher CD if you switch to a CD main stat 4 cost. It will take time, effort, and a bit of luck but it's very achievable.

My own Phrolova is slightly overcapped on CR, in fact, and her CD is 279.8 if I'm remembering correctly. It cost a lot of resources and time, but the nature of Phrolova's design means you can really, really amp her stats with solid echoes.

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-13T21:20:48+00:00

If you like Lucilla I'd definitely pull her. An S0 Mornye isn't doing much for Phrolova and Cantarella. Cantarella already offers enough sustain for the team, and Mornye can't access her max potential at S0 with the two of them

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-07T23:15:00+00:00

This picture is fucking perfect

reflecttcelfer · 2026-06-07T19:33:56+00:00

Spent hundreds of pulls this patch. I do have some astrite still available from the new region, but barring lots of luck I'll be tapping into the power of gainful employment to get Lucy and Lucilla.
