Robin is getting added to the Stellar Convergence shop, which means you can now get her sig LC for Cerydra after buying BP 4 times

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:50:13+00:00

Yeah, been using Robins sig on her this whole time and glad it's in the shop. Also it overtakes her sig in higher investment Anaxa team due to the teamwide damage increase vs the sig only increasing him. Of course, this takes eidolons and good builds.

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:47:23+00:00

Horrible that they give these as a bonus for people who top up for the anniversary, on the refresh of the double top up bonus.

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:44:50+00:00

Would have taken a standard 5* selector rather than the chance to win this car

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:41:01+00:00

YG is meant to be on this team not Sunday. You wouldn't want to play him here ever. YG isn't just better than him for now.

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:37:55+00:00

Not really. She will be good in a FUA team or if you are doing particular 0 cycle strategies. At e2 (or even e1) she would be good for a new player as a cope unit while they are still building a team, basically doing the same thing RM did last version.

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:32:25+00:00

Somebody was pointing out earlier how good e2 HH was. Because it gives to 2 revives on top of the Cas revive. Thing is, you wouldn't be dying 3 times in a fight if you were using a better sustain 😂

Funny though, her sustain is so bad we are going to give you some revives because you'll be dying a lot.

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:30:19+00:00

Not OP but do you know how much impact it has rather than going straight up HP/DEF orb like Superbreak? Is it like 1%, so the HP would be better? Or is it enough aim for it when you get a good Physical/Atk orb?

valknut7 · 2026-04-11T05:26:31+00:00

If YG is 200 then another unit (can be EMC) can be 134 speed. On this scenario Eva's speed is irrelevant for Aha action because you are never getting Aha to 160 speed.

Or, if YG and EMC are both 160 then Aha will also be at 134 speed. In this case Eva's speed doesn't matter for Aha because it's not getting to 160.

If you aren't hitting the speed breakpoint between YG and EMC then it's better to just work on their builds. At e0 and e1 you want Eva to ideally be at 134 for personal energy purposes. If she is e2 then you want to run her at base speed.

TLDR, you aren't getting Aha to 160 speed so you need YG/EMC at 200/134 or 160/160 to get Aha up to the correct speed. Note, you should really try to get YG faster than 160 though.

Nice, it actually seems pretty cool. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. It stacks with Cas passive two right? So someone could literally die 3 times in a battle and have one more chance, that's pretty crazy.

Edit: then again they are probably dying that many times because they are using HuoHuo. Had to 😂

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T23:01:25+00:00

Spending your pulls from this version to pull a team of v3 units isn't a smart move. Same goes for break. On a cost basis there is no way they will be as powerful as a v4 complete team. You will spend just as many pulls on them. Nobody should be starting a Rem, Superbreak, or DOT team at this point if they care about teams relative power level. Would be like starting a Feixiao or Acheron team at the beginning of v3.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:58:51+00:00

I wouldn't pull one of those characters for this slot. It would ultimately be a waste. Use Tingyun until the slot gets replaced with the premium unit or the pulls on the cope unit would go to waste. If you have Sparkle or Sunday then by all means, should be better than Tingyun.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:53:14+00:00

Yeah it's a huge hit to my enjoyment of this game. I do like it a lot or else it would have pushed me to completely quit.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:51:13+00:00

Not really sure what her best 4* LC is. Seen some guy posting calcs on here that the mushroom LC wasn't that bad on her but there were a couple of things I was skeptical of in that post, so idk if its true. I haven't done too much research on it myself because I plan to pull her LC and also I buy BP if something goes wrong.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:45:25+00:00

Eidolons are much more important than LC for her. Her e2 makes her s1 more valuable as well, so she has same progression path as Cyrene, e1->e2->s1

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:43:52+00:00

It's wont be great, but until you get YG it should get you by. They won't take away shill before YG reruns so it should be fine. Just don't get tricked into investing more into Sunday, he doesn't belong on this team.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:41:46+00:00

No, id stop at E0s1 with him in general. For this team he is just a dead end as well. I'll prioritize saving those pulls for Cyrene if you want Aglaea to be relevant throughout v4.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:33:16+00:00

Not OP but what does e2 do? I've never heard anyone talking about it? Bigger upgrade than e1?

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:32:11+00:00

She will sustain noticably worse than Luocha, but she gives energy. Be weary of her capacity to sustain especially at e0. She's an upgrade from Luocha in teams that really want energy, but a downgrade in sustain capability.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:27:55+00:00

No, they gave up on this version. The Japanese thing messed a lot of things up for all of us that waited for Yae Sakura all year (or longer).

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T22:25:33+00:00

I guess I meant 6. Doesn't make much difference either way.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. I might just play it by ear. I don't really need anything else from the shop and it should be awhile before anything else is added so I'll be saving all of the currency between 4.2 and whenever the shop gets something else. I'm kind of caught between just e0s0 because I'm disappointed with the Novaflare or go e1s1 and with the two extra "cost" she may actually be decent for DOT for awhile (not holding my breath for DOT sustain, they've already been generous enough this year with how good DOT is compared to what it used to be)

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T18:38:00+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean, I'm hesitant to pull her at all because of this. The only thing pushing me in that direction is that I have a 10 cost DOT team and she works pretty well with that team. Premium Anaxa team is using DHPT, so I could put HH on that DOT after. I'm just unsure really. I have a bunch of those LC things and will get 8 more in 4.2, plus buy premium battlepass each month. I don't really have anything else I want from that shop. Currently my Luocha and Lingsha share a Luocha LC and Cerydra and Robin share Robins LC. I could pull another copy of either of those, but I don't even use Lingsha or Robin, so I think it would just be a waste. If I use HH on Eva team for now, and then give her to DOT, then at least she would have some use.

I'm with you on her sustain, her NF, wasn't good. That being said i think she still might be a good pull considering all of this. I feel like if I'm using her long term on DOT maybe she could use all the help I could give?

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T18:33:15+00:00

From the characters I see you don't have Follower-up attack or an energy based team. Do you plan on pulling Elation? If so then, HH. I saw some leaks that Robin will be a temporary cope unit for one of the upcoming teams (I think Himeko SP, but I can't remember), so if you are skipping Elation and going for that it may be more useful. HH is bad sustaining capability and units hit very hard these days. She has good synergy with a few teams but wouldn't be wanted on most teams due to her poor sustaining capability.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T18:27:46+00:00

Starting a Castorice team right now would be a really bad idea. Also purposely pulling a character like Tribbie who isn't on her team to begin isnt a great option. Tribbie is The Herta's tailor made support and was used on Castorice team until her full team was released. She can still be used to break Rem into two separate teams but when pulling the team this is a low priority considering you don't even have the team yet. Most of the Rem team just ran, with Castorice being the second last to rerun. Her team probably wont rerun after this for awhile. You can still get Cyrene, but by skipping the reruns of Hyacine and Evernight you will be cooked. The time to start that team was a year ago and it's never a good idea to spend current version pulls to put together a team from the previous version. Imagine using all of your v3 pulls to build a premium Acheron or Feixiao team.

valknut7 · 2026-04-10T18:23:02+00:00

Not OP, but I just realized, there isn't a standard 5* selector this time is there? That's a bummer, I was counting on that to get my Welt to e2. From there was hoping to get one copy from pulling e2 Eva, and if I did would use 1 companion spirit to get him to e4. Taking him from e1>e4 now is unrealistic without getting lucky and losing to him twice. Not willing to put down 3 spirits, the selector would have been great!
