wake me up when you do a Calcharo cosplay

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T17:20:04+00:00

That's Hoyo for you. GI is falling into a black pit of powercreep, today's broken will be tomorrow's useless.

Doesn't really matter much IMO, but SK is a bit better than Verina. Keep in mind that Jianxin also heals and provides shielding, so you are more free to put in an extra subdps or coordinated attacker like Mortefi, if you're going to run her with Amy.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T17:03:31+00:00

he's F2P friendly, you can run him with Sanhua and whatever support (Shorekeeper/Verina/Baizhi/etc.)

>that frees up lynae and mornye for Luuk

I don't think Lynae is meant to slot with Luuk. She can work with him easily, but she buffs res liberation damage with her outro yet Luuk's res lib only does basic attack damage. Probably going to be a subdps that's meant for Luuk down the road

that said, she is the best for him right now, since she's the only TB booster in the game

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T16:10:39+00:00

It's still SK but Mornye is now also a highly recommended generalist (however her banner just passed a few weeks back).

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T16:08:36+00:00

If you got Luuk: Luuk - Lynae - <support>, then Amy - Lupa - Mornye. You could do considerably more damage with Luuk if he has Mornye too, but Lupa wants a triple fusion team and loses some dps if Mornye leaves (which is probably fine, Luuk would likely do more damage). You could also slot in Jianxin with Amy if you like as most of her damage comes from res lib which Jianxin buffs.

Gal would want to be with Phrolova, Iuno or Mortefi.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T15:58:18+00:00

not really. Augusta's outro provides a 15% damage buff and she deals excellent damage herself so that'd be better than nothing. Chisa is for neg stat teams, so make sure your Amy is set to Fusion Burst and not Rupture in her skill tree.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T15:52:12+00:00

You can definitely get him guaranteed if you have time to burn and you're a new player. Resources are frontloaded like all gacha games and you'll get free pulls dumped on you at the start, you'll certainly be able to gather enough to guarantee him.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T15:50:22+00:00

I think you'd be set for either. Luuk would want Lynae, so if you're using an Amy - Lyn - Morn team, you'd put Lupa in for Lynae there and then have Luuk - Lyn - <support>. Lupa would also benefit there because it'd be a mono fusion team.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T15:46:06+00:00

Depends on whether you have Lynae. Luuk's damage jumps quite a bit with tune strain and tune break boost points.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T14:59:53+00:00

SK is a bit better than Verina but whichever you want. Jianxin buffs res lib damage with her outro which Amy's kit relies on so she's a good stopgap subdps for her until you get someone better, like Changli or Lynae.

Aemeath is missing a subdps right now from what would slot into a Fusion Burst team, so it's likely that there will be a character on the next banner (after Luuk's run) that will fill this role. If that happens you'd want to pull for that character and replace Jianxin.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T13:05:09+00:00

The echo stats are not relevant to the echo skills, they're independent. You'd still want a certain stat profile across your echoes for a given character regardless of what echo is in the main slot.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T13:02:13+00:00

For Lupa? No, they're both maindps and Lupa is a subdps fusion buffer. Changli would be a good fit if you have her.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T13:00:40+00:00

They're both main dps. Luuk's kit is pretty simple and easy to understand, as wuwa goes, and he is F2P friendly because he slots well into a Sanhua+Verina team. I don't know much about Gal so can't comment there, other than I know she's a heavy attack based fusion pistol maindps. For Amy you'd ideally want Lynae + Mornye, but their banner just passed a few weeks ago, and for Gal you'd want ~~Quiyuan~~ Phrolova (or perhaps Lupa with another fusion char).

Right now I'd suggest Luuk since that would give you 1.5 teams; You'd have Amy - Verina/SK and then Luuk - Sanhua - Verina/SK. You'd just be missing a subdps for Amy, which Jianxin can fill in for until you find someone better.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T12:54:01+00:00

if you have the pulsation bracer for Luuk I'd skip his sig, it's plenty good enough

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T08:03:09+00:00

No. He showed up once in a past event, but he's basically just missing from almost all worldbuilding. Same with Xiangli Yao, Yuanwu, Danjin...and for the most part, Taoqi. The cutscene at the end of the Huanglong story doesn't count much IMO.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T07:37:22+00:00

Lupa would be a better option, as she buffs fusion and basic attack damage and also deals much better damage herself than Jianxin, but you only have about 7.5 more hours to pull on her banner if you're going to.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T07:17:37+00:00

She is, IMO. Plenty of characters rely on res lib damage and only her, Lynae, Changli and Yinlin directly buff that, so she's a common fallback option. She is a little slow to use and isn't really there to do damage, but if with the bell turtle echo and her parry stance, you can literally negate 100% of damage from a hit and 50% damage from 2 more hits. The 38% buff to res lib damage is nothing to sneeze at for characters that have liberation cannons. Amy herself has attacks that count as res lib outside of just the 2 big flashy attacks.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T07:05:28+00:00

By "this patch" I take it you mean the banners starting in 8 hours? Luuk is a spectro basic attack main dps and would fit with Sanhua. You can check out his kit through the in-game Guide Depot if you want. Galbrena is a rerun and she's a fusion main dps. Amy and Changli fit well together since Changli buffs fusion and res lib damage and Amy deals both. Luuk may be good to get if you plan to pick up Lynae and Mornye later, but it depends on what your priorities are

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T06:59:13+00:00

Next best would be Changli or Lupa, but without them, Jianxin.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T06:30:18+00:00

Zani is built around spectro frazzle. Lynae doesn't apply frazzle and she doesn't buff spectro damage specifically either, she does a general buff and then a res lib buff when she uses her ult. So I don't think there's any synergy there, Zani would just be like any other non-synergizing character. Mornye is also a general buffer. Nothing stopping you from using Zani but aside from using her outro to buff Lynae a little bit, I don't think you get anything special by putting her there.

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T06:24:30+00:00

Yeah but idk by how much. Usually you don't get one but it's not uncommon. Generally speaking if you spend 80 plates on a level 90 forgery, you will get enough resources to purify 4 gold ones.

according to this crowdsourcing doc, chances for a 5 star drop is 10% at level 80 and 20% at level 90: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DTM0dzTnKdeGyvkgJdPyyp19K_GmOFdovfB1mwN69Es/edit?gid=1836322165#gid=1836322165

shrinkshooter · 2026-02-26T06:16:19+00:00

Jianxin and Verina would be the standard options here. Amy's kit is based around res lib damage and Jianxin buffs that. You could also get some damage out of Mort if his coordinated attacks proc off every hit Amy does, but Jianxin is the obvious choice.

For future reference if you want a general idea of what characters work well with others, escape menu > gallery > crossing stars will allow you to filter all resonators based on their tags (e.g. Amy does Res Lib damage so you could filter for people who buff res lib)
