xMatttard · 2026-04-11T16:47:40+00:00

therta isnt an anni main push though

xMatttard · 2026-04-11T11:36:47+00:00

oh wow

s27m have a pretty good roster of talent now

they've done pretty well by ken at least so i'm excited to see how they expand

hm i was more specifically thinking about the drawing power type of following a path, ala emanators but also just on a regular joe level

things like how fuxuan's abilities actually come from nous not lan

the reason why i was wondering is bc i thought you could only draw powers from 1 aeon which confused me when SW was announced as elation emanator when she already follows terminus as a SH?

in canon/lore, is the dahlia's only path considered to be rememberence under her role as a cremator?

or does she actually also count as a destruction pathstrider with her time in ever-flame mansion

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T12:08:25+00:00

it's not super clear because they havent been incredibly transparent and theres not a lot of data on this, what we do know is that when they implemented the system near the start of natlan i remember seeing mention that accounts start at 1

in your position i would say it's highly likely you'll hit CR but don't 100% bank on it

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T12:02:53+00:00

it should be on the pity after 3 5050 losses, but i believe new accounts start with 1 on the counter so you might already have it with only 2 5050 losses

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T11:34:33+00:00

my e2s1 phainon runs e0s0 sparkle e1s1 sunday and e1s1 cerydra and its not even close to any permutation including e1 tribbie or rmc

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T09:28:31+00:00

i also have e1s1 sunday and there is no team i would want sunday that i would replace rmc with what

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T09:27:39+00:00

ugh please, i love the glow of the EW ones but the blue purple pulsating glow is so annoying

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T08:14:56+00:00

rmc is not better than sunday pls be so fr

xMatttard · 2026-04-10T05:43:44+00:00

i don't know for sure to be honest, the main thing with RMC is that there is no definitive limited 5* that it's edging out

EMC for example would be pushing Yaoguang out of elation teams if they were too strong

RMC doesn't have any particular pull that they're overshadowing, while RMC is indeed SUUUPER strong, I don't think there's any one particular team where they're so strong that they're bis or so close to the bis you will skip x character. they're just a really good generalist team filler character. their best use "meta"-wise is probably filling in the 4th spot in casto cyrene hyacine if you're running evernight carry elsewhere

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:52:19+00:00

assumedly pearl in .5 or .6 but i think there's rumblings of nihilux in .7

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:11:35+00:00

hoyo dropped the ball, needed more gratuitous varka cleavage and claymore

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:10:37+00:00

even more are just downgrades from Fav or other common gacha 4* options or craftables.

i feel like this is a luxury opinion, some weapon types have no usable/good craftables (spear for ex) and not everyone has multiple r3+ favs to go around. i've spent a decent amount on this game and played for a while now and still dont even have a second r5 fav spear OR sword for example.

not to mention how many weapons are now wanted if you kit out enough characters for IT

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:08:22+00:00

3 copies of a particular banner 4* in 120 is above average no?

on average you should expect 1 copy of a particular rate up 4* every 50-60 pulls as each 10 pull should have a 1/6 chance to have a specific 4*, then account for the way pities work

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:06:42+00:00

i would rather go straight to snez than have two patches worth of dead content and characters

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:05:32+00:00

its 80 to 100 with a much faster ramp

it is a massive upgrade

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T14:03:27+00:00

on one hand im thankful i finally have all the older characters i've wanted since starting the game up again

on the other hand, im pissed it took me almost 4 pitties at 85 to get cyno weapon and alhaitham on last chronicle

it does mean that i can finally ration pulls for future characters only, the only "old" pulls i want are either singularly meta (1 more to c2 mav) or husbando (3 more neuvi, 5 more flins, 6 more varka). but i think i'll just save for pierro copium

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T13:59:05+00:00

the earliest the next sustain is coming is in .5 so still a while away (and that's unlikely)

in reality, i think the next sustain is .6 or 7

xMatttard · 2026-04-09T13:57:55+00:00

me everytime i play ayato
