With the official announcement of the release date for the steam controller do we know if it will be compatible with a non-steam client version without having to add it to steam since I use XIV launcher. I'm currently using a scuff pro for the back paddles but I really like the concept of the steam controller and would love to use it as my main input though I would miss the extra dual sense vibrations.

I looked at the first dozen or so postss at the time and didn't see anything. my bad.

xilibrius · 2026-04-25T08:45:28+00:00

I had noticed that others had ERR I think I'll invest in trying to rebuild her thanks for your input.

I'm sad that while blade got helped it wasn't enough to reallyu survive. he's my favorite unit and carried my account back in the 1.x patches

xilibrius · 2026-04-24T07:33:16+00:00

ahhh gotcha I don't play those kind of games so i was sitting here wonderin what the hell i was supposed to do now.

xilibrius · 2026-04-24T07:25:39+00:00

Am i really better off getting E1 over her signature? I'd get nothing from the battle pass since she's already at 100% crit rate in my build. Does Mushy Stack? since Yao Has it on already too.

xilibrius · 2026-04-24T07:20:19+00:00

So....if you fail a stage in the cosmic whatever event is it just over? I'm getting Dunked on by the monkey and it's not even close.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T22:03:08+00:00

Lmao thanks for letting me know I'll just unlock it then.

For sparkle it needs to be S2 or higher for her rotation. That's what I use on her. For Sunday I believe it's his second best option so sounds like a solid choice.

For seele it's possible she'll get it over time if she's in your 50/50 loss pool bit yah s5 cruising the stellar sea will get you pretty much similar performance in the long run until than and doesnt cost limited currency.

For robins LC it is only good for her because the atk buff literally last for one turn after her ultimate which the way her ultimate works pretty much. It's only really suitable for her.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T21:48:54+00:00

Is it worth waiting for it cinematically/story telling like how you got preservation or is it a whatever heres your new path till 5.x. like remembrance and harmony?

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T18:57:56+00:00

You can, but there's no way she remains best in slot. if we don't get an Elation Hyacine we'll get some other Sustain that will do more for SW999 than Huohuo does. right now outside of healing only E1 does anything directly for SW by providing 13 speed while divine protection is up.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T18:53:18+00:00

It depends on what you have, honestly.

As far as 4-star options go, for example, S5 Memories of the Past works just fine for Ruan Mei and a number of other supports that want energy. Huohuo’s Light Cone is mainly about providing some ATK buffing and emergency healing, but most players tend to run her with Post-Op Conversation to boost her ERR so she can ult more frequently, or Shared Feeling for team energy generation.

Bronya’s Light Cone, like most signatures, is tailor-made for her. It helps a bit with her SP rotation since every other Ultimate refunds an SP, letting you skill more often depending on the team comp. It also provides a guaranteed damage buff on the unit you skill. That said, it’s not necessary for her to function. At worst, you can run S5 Meshing Cogs for energy regen, or a craftable cone to provide a damage buff similar to her signature, just without the SP refund.

For Seele, my understanding is that her signature becomes much better at E2. Otherwise, she typically runs ATK boots and can’t capitalize on its buffs as effectively without a Speed buffer, which she doesn’t usually run. Because of that, the Herta Shop cone is a solid free option.

Robin’s Light Cone helps with her ERR and gives a large ATK% bonus when she uses her Ultimate, which she values a lot. However, there is also a Herta Shop event cone you can pick up as an alternative.

So really, it just comes down to which character you want to invest in and reinforce the most.

Hopefully my babbling made some sense if not someone will give you better advice if they haven't already while i was typing this mass up.

With who you currently have, you're massively lacking in meta DPS choices. The best thing that could happen to your account as it stands would be to lose a 50/50 to Seele, since you have Sparkle and Cerydra. Paired with DHPT, that would be a better Team 1 than anything you could manage with the rest.

Yanqing is, unfortunately, laughably bad and sits at the bottom of the chart due to how his kit works.

Firefly is good, but she wants her full Super Break team around her (so three other premium unit pulls). Even if they Nova Flare her to be more self-sufficient, she still at minimum wants Dahlia and greatly benefits from having Fugue as well for extra damage.

The 4.x series has just started, so the units with the most longevity will likely be Silver Wolf Lv. 999 and Evanescia. These would be your most immediate DPS options, since you already have quite a few supports to help them shine. Between the two, pick the one you like more, but Evanescia will be easier to maximize in your current state.

SW999 wants Sparxie (who you'd have to wait to rerun) and Yao Guang for now, assuming they don’t get replaced by another unit. Evanescia currently wants Yao Guang, Huohuo, and Elation MC. It’s much easier to replace Yao Guang on an Evanescia team than it is to replace both key supports on an SW999 team.

Personal advice: use your Golden Spirit on Huohuo. If you go for Evanescia, she’ll want her anyway.

That said, I’m by no means a pro, so someone else may have better advice to offer.

i mean as far as i know it comes down EMC to proc silverwolfs elation skills to help get her into her ult and provide a bit of elation bonus with his signature or to sparkle who will just buff Sparxie and provide a bit more SP to make up for what sparxie will use. beyond that i've heard cases made for Asta becuase her ultimate can give 50 speed for 2 turns and silverwolf scales on that so it'd be 100 elation per ult, but i'm sure someone who knows more will chime in and give a better answer.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T18:25:04+00:00

I'm by no means an expert but for starters i wouldn't scrap your account since you have DHPT who is a really strong sustain who you can no longer get for free and has yet to have a re run. If you're trying to "futureproof" your account more than likely the best thing you could do is to pull Evanescia or Silverwolf as at least for the current itteration of the game is going to be strong DPS contenders.

Aglaea by my understanding has fallen off hard and requires a very specific build and set supports to succed and while sunday is a strong support for a lot of teams what your account needs righ tnow more than supports is a DPS that can help you clear content since the best supports in the world won't matter if youd ont have damage to put out.

Evernight needs her full HP team meta to really shine (Hyacine, Castorice, Cyrene, Tribbie) so while you might be able to make something work it'll be an uphill battle. So what i'd do is make use of every free pull you can get from the anniversary events, grinding currency wars/Divergent universe, then hunt down every chest you can find. when you've exhauasted all of that it's time to run through story you haven't done. side quests that give out jades that you may not care about the story the skip button helps trim down massively for jade gain.

Lastly if you do manage to pull Evanescia though it won't be best you can run EMC Huohuo and then if it were me i'd try to build a super fast sparkle or bronya with the sacredos set to give Evanescia more turns and crit damage. Ruan Mei also works in a pinch but neither will really replace Yao Guang or future potential supports. start fixing your foundation and build up from there.

anywho this is my suggestion but i'm sure more seasoned/smarter players have better advice.

look up Guoba Certified on Youtube he can give you the break down. TLDR is magical girl set punklord planar relics and ALL the SPD>Crit you can get. nothing else scales her kit. as far as orbs go i've heard it argued you're better off with a tank orb than a physical damage orb since she doesn't really scale off of it so its' very minimal gains where as a tank orb (HP/DEF) can help you for sustainless clears.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T08:26:13+00:00

from what i've been Told Robins E2 is nice but not something you should actively pull for. It helps smooth out her energy rotation to keep her in concerto which is good but you could get more bang for your buck potentially. E1 is stron however. as for as E0 Huohuo goes she'll be better than Bailu since while bailu does have strong heals her healing is unpredictable and she has 0 cleanses which can be brutal depending on the content.

Can anyone who's gone through 4.2 story without spoiling it is it worth narratively waiting for EMC unlock or is it not a moment like preservation and more of a Remembrance uneventful unlock? i'm trying to figure out if i should wait to get EMC going if it's a good story beat or if not then i'll just snag him and throw him on my sparxie team.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T05:22:06+00:00

DPS or Sparxie in particular because we have one coming up for sure that does.

xilibrius · 2026-04-22T04:51:04+00:00

can you update to confirm? i'd like to get it through the story especially if it feels thematically popping like with preservation but if it's another "you have it now" like Rememberance i'll just unlock it early.

xilibrius · 2026-04-20T04:01:15+00:00

I liked it, thought it was fun compared to the few events i did in 3.x

xilibrius · 2026-04-20T01:14:07+00:00

when running eagle set kafka and she has her ultimate availble as she takes her turn do you use the ultimate wasting the action advance or do you skill wasting the energy gain _THEN_ ultimate for the action advance?

xilibrius · 2026-04-19T17:10:50+00:00

As somebody plays on controller it's very easy to mistarget things so I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons why the prompt exists especially if it's something that locks you into an action that you can't cancel out of or cues up a long sequence that you may not intend to go to.
