I just beat Sim Universe 3 on my second attempt thanks to a pretty wild event. Some lady called "Mei" showed up and gave me all 18 Destruction blessings. Seems good. Made pretty short work of the boss.

Are Calyx's the only source of light cone xp (other than smashing other light cones)? I completely neglected it since I was used to weapon xp being essentially free in Genshin from smithing.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Did world 5 with Remembrance, using March, Sushang, Natasha, and Bronya. Did world 6 with The Hunt, using Fire MC, Natasha, Seele, and Bronya.

Hunt and Preservation have been my go-to's. I run fireMC/Seele/Nat/Welt. Preservation with M7 also went ok on world 6 but that last boss charge attack one shots at least one team member.

I also have no quests in my journal and that's such a weird feeling.

spent some time exploring the space station more.
neat how there's a bunch of little secret missions or activities.

Also noticed how some the regular missions given to you give some hints.

Like I got a regular mission to check the cameras for some activity, and while trying to find what it looked for, it showed a guy trapped somewhere (but didn't have anything to do with the current mission) While exploring, I found the area and oh the guy IS there trapped. So helped him and got a nice chest out of it. So its neat that there's consistency in that and it wasn't just a joke

I struggled with World 5 over and over, always dying at the boss. I finally went all in on the Abundance path and beat her. I used the same strat for World 6 and beat it first try.

Edit - my team is Seele, Natasha, Tingyun and MC.

Abundance (using Resonance to clear Domination at the end), Sushang / Sampo / Seele / Bailu is a pretty reliable clear for me. I have to get completely hosed on the Blessing selection to not at least stand a chance. Basically, just collect "when healed, you get X" buffs and concentrate on keeping them up, and if you get the one that adds damage to attacks based on your max HP you're solid.

I did my first run of SU5 last night attempting to use this strategy. I saw literally one Abundance blessing in the first 9 floors, and that includes 3 bonus blessings I saw from curios. Kind of crazy that you can get so hosed on blessings that you haven't unlocked your resonance (much less any improvements to it) by the second elite.


FractalSandwich posted:

Here's a table showing how much jade you can get from the two main repeatable sources by the time the next few banners are expected to release, starting specifically from today.

You're missing a couple of repeatable sources:
- The SU reward track includes some jades (refreshed weekly)
- The Forgotten Halls will include jades in the repeatable portion (presumably refreshed bi-weekly if following the Genshin pattern)

I don't know at what point people should expect to be strong enough to start clearing the deeper floors of Forgotten Halls. If the numbers are like Genshin, though, that will eventually be one of the biggest repeatable sources.

Yeah, it's definitely not comprehensive. I didn't include the Forgotten Hall because I've got no idea how to account for it either, but the 75 a week from Sim Universe is straightforward enough.

One of the things I am appreciating the most about this game compared to Geshin right now is that there are effectively 2 "endgame" modes that I can play, and get progression/crafting materials from even without consuming energy. That's huge. Though apparently the "material" mob drops from SU are capped at something like 100 per day? Similar to Genshin's overworld relic route daily drop limits.

Really really hope we get an equivalent to SU in Genshin at some point, because i do slightly prefer action combat element-combos over pure turnbased rock-paper-scissors.

I'm already at 90 but that's admittedly with the giant pile of starter juice they give you. But we'll probably get events that give us pulls so I doubt it'll be that long. Probably not exactly gonna be soon either though.

In Genshin I don't think you get many standard pulls from events - usually just the crystals, which are best converted to limited banner pulls.

Off the top of my head, the only consistent sources are 1. ascending characters, 2. the 5 from when the shop resets and 3. battle pass (which I think is also 5). So that's probably no more than 15-20 every more-than-a-month.

Ibram Gaunt posted:

e: also unlocked relic crafting, and you get 1 stat customizable item a BP it seems to ensure a non trash piece so that's cool. But it seems like it's only mainstat customization which is..less ideal lol.

Yeah, that's kind of annoying since I don't exactly invest in stuff to begin with unless it has a main stat I want. I guess I could see it being useful if you have two good pieces with the same main stat and would like for another character to be able to use one of them.

That "reroll a mainstat" item seems like it would be cracked if it's not super expensive to craft and you can use multiple of them on a given relic, since it means you can level up all your relics to fish for good substats, and just apply the desired mainstat afterwards. That would be a massive time saver.

Sadly there's no info on wikis about the details of that item yet that I am finding.

Endorph

I think that item is only given out once per battle pass. I don't think there's any way to craft it or anything.

They might give it out for events or something too.
