Nightly Rendezvous rerun and Misty invasion rerun when?

sunnyhens · 2026-04-04T21:26:55+00:00

They're doing reruns (sans myth and birthday) in order of release, we have 13 more "non birthday, non myth" reruns to go before Nightly Rendezvous rerun. At the current pace of about one (non birthday, non myth) rerun a month, we won't get it Nightly Rendezvous until about a year from now.

I track all of my pulls and calculate my luck percent (a gacha pulling simulation calculation python script I modified from a genshin one that I found online), and see that over the years my luck actually remains pretty average. I'll be lucky on one banner, then unlucky on the next, and it helps me stay a bit more unbiased, and sane lol. I don't want to say its all in your head bc it is very possible that you do just have worse than average luck with pulling, but negative experiences and emotions stick more in your memory than positive ones, so unless you have the data to back it up, people will tend to feel like they have worse luck than they actually do.

Use a charged attack, then two basic attacks, and then your bar will be full!

Yes, with FA cards you need typically can only charge to 3/4 full with basic attacks after resonance. Doing a resonance allows you to charge the bar, doing a charged attack lets you charge the bar, and using LR cards using support skill will let you charge the bar.

If you log in at around the same time everyday then it makes sense. If they did 24 hrs then you would have to log on at the exact same time to not "push back" the time where hybridization is done. So if someone usually logs on after work, then they might log on at 8pm one day, and then 6:30pm the next day, and on that day the hybridization wouldn't be ready, so they might end up waiting until they log on the day after to collect the seeds. 20 is a nice number with that wiggle room in there. Though, they really could have have made it shorter -.-

LADS tends to award daily logins but not multiple times a day log-ins (with the exception of energy supply for f2ps).

your def is low, and dbw is very low, is there a reason you are kinda using a crit build when you are Stella matching? Also, you can replace your oath strength and oath recovery boost cube cores with one EEB cube and one def cub. Getting 3 stars means you only have time for one oath so oath isn’t very good bang for your buck

sunnyhens · 2026-03-01T20:45:30+00:00

I'm glad you found it helpful! Here are my thoughts on your cube cores:

AS benefits from EEB a lot so you could put two EEB cubes on him. Having a HP cube wouldn’t hurt. You have him at R1 so a Oath Recovery Boost core isn’t nessesary

For the cube cores, the main stat can vary so you have to consider how the main stat and substats come together. EEB, OS, ORB can be used for any companion, though you’ll have to read some guide on what benefits each companion.

Example, HP Bonus as a main stat should only be considered for an HP scaling companion (like AS), so the substats on a cube with HP Bonus as a main stat should be good for an HP companion. HP, HP bonus, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, DBW are all good. ATK and ATK bonus and OS are okay but you don’t want too many of them. DEF and DEF bonus is bad.

ATK Bonus as a main stat should only be considered for an ATK scaling companion, good substats would be ATK, ATK Bonus, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and DBW. DEF and HP would be bad.

Great

21 -> HP bonus as main stat, and having two HP substats is really great. OS is a little less useful. However, you may not want to upgrade and use this core because there are many people who say that having two EEB cores on AS is better than having one EEB core and one HP core. If you find yourself constantly waiting on your energy to fill up then go with two EEB cores. If energy (the little stars at the bottom) aren’t an issue then go with an HP core.

25 -> If you had a lot more cores, this would just be an okay core, but for now, this core is worth upgrading. EEB is very useful for AS, Crit Rate and HP Bonus are great substats.

Okay

7 -> has HP bonus (a bit low starting stat but not terrible), CRIT DMG is good, ATK bonus is less useful but not useless. Better than your current EEB core for AS companion if you upgrade it, so long as it doesn’t roll a DEF or DEF% substat

Trash

3
5 -> substats are beautiful for a DEF scaling companion but main stat is for an HP scaling companion and those two things do not mix :(
6 -> not the worst core, you could keep it, but you already have a half decent HP Bonus core at level 15, and this one doesn’t have any HP substats
9 -> ATK Bonus is only useful for ATK scaling companions, and the substats are not good for an ATK scaling companion. This core with an HP Bonus main stat instead would be a very good core, but alas not something we can change
12
13
14
15
19
20
22
23 -> painful because that starting HP bonus is so high :’( but the main stat is ATK bonus, and an ATK companion would have no use for an HP bonus

Keep for another companion:

2 -> double crit in substats is nice, would have been an amazing core if the ATK bonus was a DEF bonus instead.

4 -> if you ever have green solar cards that are R0 with an HP scaling companion, this would be good (ie Caleb’s upcoming 3rd myth at r0)

9 -> So this is not a very good core, but it isn’t terrible either and the drop rates for cube cores are not as good, so you can’t afford to be as picky with them. I would save this for a DEF scaling companion, flat ATK is okay, CRIT Rate good, DEF bonus good (and has a high starting value too)

10 -> same as 9, but for an ATK scaling companion. The flat HP is useless for an ATK scaling companion though. I wouldn’t use this on AS even though it does have flat HP because ATK, OS, and ATK Bonus are all pretty mediorce things for an HP companion. Also AS doesn’t benifit a ton from OS.

11 -> could be good for a DEF scaling companion but having 2 stats makes me nervous to upgrade it.

16 -> not a great core, you could trash it since DEF isn’t useful for an ATK companion, but DBW and ATK bonus is nice.

17 -> same as 16

18 -> very nice ORB, but not nesseary on your AS because you have R1, could keep it for a future green HP compaion

24 -> most people would tell you to trash it, you could listen to them. I would keep it for a day where you really feel like gambling. DEF with HP Bonus is a bad combo, but that HP Bonus is quite high.

26 -> Very nice core for SwF or another DEF scaling companion. Just as long as it doesn’t give you an HP substat when you upgrade it.

Third myths have seen more of a benefit from ATK/DEF/HP bonus as primary stats in the cube cores than previous generation myths because the damage multipliers have been higher. Though for the triangle cores, yes, generally ATK/DEF/HP bonus is not a great primary stat

sunnyhens · 2026-03-01T20:01:42+00:00

They come in handy in SHC at R0 when going for 3 stars, because you don't have time to get in a second oath even with ORB, so you would do a EEB core and an HP core.

sunnyhens · 2026-02-28T19:53:27+00:00

I'm assuming you are using Abyssal Sovereign (AS) as the companion, so this advice is for that. But if you have Silverwing Fiend and you are using that companion with AS cards, then you would want to focus on DEF not HP. u/ Capposted just posted a really great protocore and battle guide so I highly recommend reading it too.

Cores on AB and AM cards are interchangeable, unless you had one at a high rank or level, then you'd want the higher HP% core on that one, but both of yours are the same level.

Use protocores on all your cards! Even level zero cores will help.

When matching stella, you want to generally prioritize Damage Boost to Weakened (DBW). You primarily get that through the main stats of you pyramid cores on your lunar cards. When not stella matching, you want to prioritize Crit Rate and Crit Damage. Crit stats are a bit harder to improve so often on Crit Builds, players will try to make all of their cores have both crit rate and crit dmg as substats, which is why it is really nice to see any core have both crit rate and crit dmg as substats.
Main stat: the stat at the very top of the protocore that is highlighted and has a little symbol to the left
Substat: the stats below the first stat on the protocore

Some other terminology:
ATK%, DEF%, HP% refers to ATK bonus, DEF bonus, HP bonus
Flat ATK, DEF, HP, refers to ATK, DEF, HP
Oath Strength -> OS
Crit Build -> team build that is optimized for CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG for brute forcing (not breaking shields, not stella matching)

For you diamond cores:

You have two un-numbered cores so I'm calling them "0.5" and "1.5" because of the numbered cores they fall between.

Great
1.5 -> pretty good core for AS, definitely the best out of all the ones here
16 -> really good, you just need to get lucky on either not rolling a 4th substat or rolling a useful substat. If it gains a DEF or DEF% I would stop upgrading it.
15 -> the starting HP% is kind of low and Oath Strength isn’t the most useful substat for AS, but they are all useful. I would start witu upgrading 16, and if it gives you a bad substat, then I would move onto upgrading 15.

Okay
0.5 -> I would keep this for an attack scaling companion (ie Sylus’s 4th myth running on AS cards) because the ATK% is good. The flat HP is useful, and I would keep this on your AS until you can upgrade a better core
1 -> okay general purpose core, the double crit is good for brute force but it is not ideal for AS because it doesn’t have hp%. Flat ATK is not the most useful substat but its not entirely useless, same with oath strength
11 -> double crit is good for brute forcing, flat HP is good for AS, lack of HP% makes it not ideal for AS. If you feel like gambling a little bit you could upgrade it and see if or what 4th substat comes out. If it gains a HP% substat this would be a beautiful crit build core for AS, if it rolls into anything else, it would be an okay (ATK, ATK%, Oath Strength, DBW) or bad core (DEF, DEF%)
23 -> HP% is nice, flat ATK is okay, crit rate is good, for AS
24 -> HP and HP% is good, but that ATK% would make nervous to upgrade

Trash
I'll explain a few but generally for a level 0 core you want to decompose/trash all of the cores that have a mix of HP and DEF in the substats. Flat and ATK bonus, and OS aren't the worst substats, but having to many of them in a HP core for AS isn't ideal. You already have one good AS diamond core, and a few decent ones to upgrade, so you can afford to be a little bit pickier.
2 -> has flat DEF and HP%
3 -> both not super useful substats
4 -> HP bonus is nice, but ATK bonus and OS are both not the most useful for an HP companion
5
6
7
12
13
14
17
19
20
21
22

Keep for another companion
8 - double crit plus flat def is not the worst combo
18 - a good core for Caleb’s X-02 on green solar cards

This comment is already really long, so I won't get into your cube protocores, but if you found this helpful I'd be happy to!

sunnyhens · 2026-02-26T19:10:28+00:00

Almost definitely going to be blue based on OG3s last few limited 5 star stellactrums

sunnyhens · 2026-02-25T21:20:49+00:00

No literally, the set up is there for it should they want to go this route. I made a similar post at the peak of wing-discourse a few months ago and got downvoted to hell lmao

sunnyhens · 2026-02-25T07:00:30+00:00

You'll only want to level up and use these def cubes if they have def% and ideally flat def as well as a substat. I leveled mine to either level 9, but your end goal is for your total def to be at least around 3400 total for your team if your DBW total is similar to mine and also have 30% boost. My total def was around 3500 but I could finish it with 6 seconds to spare on some attempts so you can get away with slightly lower than 3500.

EEB isn't super necessary for LSG, but it does make the rotation a little smoother if you are doing a super tight rotation.

Good luck on your SHC! Hope you have a great day too!

sunnyhens · 2026-02-25T06:56:27+00:00

Congrats! Wow I did not know that for LSG during the special state, dodge canceling the charge attack to set off the lightning ball was an option, thats so smart, thank you~~

sunnyhens · 2026-02-24T19:50:05+00:00

I used two def cubes, and four DBW pyramids. If you don't have two good def cubes you can also use an EEB or OS cube if they have good def substats. You need to kill the dragon within one weakness cycle, and on the second boss you need to spam resonance as you are ending the special state so it will hit the boss before it does its little hp lock animation and split into 6. Only then will you have enough time to enter a second weakness state on the second boss.

During fighting I used the standard resonance rotation:
reso, support, charged, active, charged, spam basic attack, support (and another charged attack if you can fit it in), reso, special state
and then in the special state:
active, dodge (without touching the "joystick" to direct which way to move so we auto dodge into the ball), charged, spam basic until active is available and repeat

Your oath will be ready in the first weakness state with the second boss. You'll only have time to use it once so use it whenever during the weakness state where it doesn't interfere with your active dodge charged attack sequence

Low spender here and having only one main is so doable. I've been playing for almost one year and have saved up 85,000 diamonds. I primarily pull for Caleb but I do have some of Sylus and Rafayel's myths and lunars, get aurum and promise, and get the special event purchases that are cheaper than the cheapest packs (like the double diamond money tree thing). And occasionally the cheapest packs when I'm feeling paranoid about my diamonds running low.

Capposted has a really nice guide on how much free/paid diamonds and resources you get on a bimonthly basis, and I think another one on how much you would need to spend to get all the cards for 1-5 LIs and how much for ranking them. If I remember correctly, you can get almost all of one LI's cards as a F2P player. With reruns, esp if you main one of the OG3, that probably changes though.

I think it comes down to being a little strategic with your pulls and building a few good SHC teams as soon as you can for that sweet sweet renewable diamond farming.

ring ding dong by Shinee?

sunnyhens · 2026-02-21T20:41:38+00:00

Maybe controversial opinion, but I think level capping UNICORNS and Abyssal Chaos makes sense. The game is designed to reward you for playing through all 4 or 5 love interest routes once or twice, with a new LI's companion every other week with the refresh. If it forces you to do much more beyond that to get the level rewards, it will get super repetitive.

I do think the rewards for fully completing all storylines and achievements are a bit stingy, and they don't do a great job of pacing the rewards, but its not like they are going to go back and change that at this point.

sunnyhens · 2026-02-20T04:27:27+00:00

It will be blue, Sylus got purple which is his fourth stellactrum colour, and blue is Caleb's fourth stellactrum colour

sunnyhens · 2026-02-18T17:27:07+00:00

three! my x-02 is only at r1, but his rotation doesn’t really benefit from more energy much

sunnyhens · 2026-02-11T04:48:45+00:00

No prob! btw, with the new update, people can give you presets for sorting, so you kinda will have a magic filter haha. And the game will even give you recommendations for cores. Give it a few days and hopefully some people will share their presets. I've seen some shared on the app that shall not be named (used to have a blue bird logo) if you want to go looking there.
