I wish I had Tingyun I'll roll twice on the new banner and hope she's the 4* I end up with

I've somehow lucked into getting all the 4* which means I have decision paralysis of who to build up outside the F2P crowd. Tingyun and Pela definitely seem like the obvious choices for getting buffs/debuffs, but then I'm wondering if I should build Sushang if I already have Clara as a Physical DPS.

Finally hit Equilibrium 3. The 50-60 grind isn't that bad as far as these things go. A single 60 fuel run of the character XP Calyx yields around 3 levels worth of XP, and you can level up a trace with a similar expense. I was able to get a couple characters and LCs to 60 immediately and will probably be able to get a few other characters/LCs there over the coming week (and that's ignoring BP, which will be a sudden huge influx of materials once I get it). It'll also be much easier to level stuff up at high EQ; it's just balanced towards reaching the current level peak being a gradual process. My Bailu has very powerful healing now (I prioritized getting her and her LC to 60). Her Invigoration (which can now trigger up to three times) now heals for around 400, and her party-wide heal Ult for 800+.

If I had Clara, especially an already-built Clara, I wouldn't bother also leveling Sushang at this point since they fill effectively the same role. Resources are so limited right now that just building up new units who fill a team niche we don't already have is going to be taking all the daily energy for at least the next few months. Of course that's speaking from a utilitarian standpoint. if you like a character for whatever reason just throw all your resources at them if you want, keeping in mind it's going to slow down/delay your "endgame" progression. I made the mistake of leveling basically the entire roster at once and now I'm bashing my head against SU/memory levels that I simply can't clear due to not having leveled up relics and traces for the main party members who need to be clearing them.

lmaoooo pulled a second 5* light cone off the standard banner (the hunt one for yanqing, i have that and himeko's lol). the only 5* character ive pulled still is bailu....twice. i guess i'll start investing more into some of the 4* dps like sushang/dan or serval since the game doesn't want me getting any new characters lmao

This is probably just because you only have access to the grinding options from your current Equilibrium level. I don't think you're even meant to be able to get through all "end-game" content before your Equilibrium level is maxed out. And it's not even that hard to get a character more or less up to speed. I'm pretty sure that a week (if that) of spending most of my fuel towards a specific character could probably get them to around 60 with traces upgraded (and stuff like relics or Light Cones can be moved between characters).

Who are the mainstays in your lineup as you’ve tinkered around with the characters? I have Natasha, as my only healer and between Bronya and Tingyue( who I want to use), I like Bronyas attack and crit boost and I’m really fond of the little sounds that I hear when she pulls off her ult. I want to use March more as her shield and counter are nice but I feel like her attack power isn’t enough.

# ? May 13, 2023 23:07 |

march isn't really meant to be doing damage, so her attack power is pretty irrelevant. natasha/bronya/march and then some sort of dps would be a totally fine team. dan heng or hook of the 4*s.

I'm curious why SimU stops giving rewards after a while. I don't mean the ability tree points (I've maxed that out); I mean stuff like raw materials and credits for the boss fight. I'm assuming there's a weekly counter somewhere of how often it'll pay out, like the 8000 weekly points on Nameless Honor, but I can't find it at a glance.

I basically never have Clara or Seele leave unless there's a really convincing reason, they're both just awesome characters. I swapped to a healer over March once aoe became more common and then my third slot rotates a lot, but I got Himeko recently so it's usually her.

funkymonks posted:It’s the traces that suck. EL3 seems to give the same trace mats as EL2. I mean, it only takes one run to get enough for one trace or trace upgrade (I'm ignoring the second mat since it's very easy to get without spending fuel). You can get enough materials for at least several traces with a single day's worth of fuel. Are you also converting the lower rank ones to the higher rank? That's a big source of them. You get just 3 second stage from each run, but enough first stage to convert to ~4 more. For example, just now I decided to try leveling up some more of Bailu's remaining traces. It takes 5 of the second stage material for the latest upgrade. Spending 60 fuel on the domain gives 7 (accounting for converting lower rank ones). That doesn't seem that bad; I think you could fully upgrade traces for a level 60 character with a single day's fuel. And all the traces usually aren't super important, so you can just prioritize the ones that give significant benefits.

I just levelled all of Himeko's skills for 60. 4 skills at 10 traces for 4* and 12 traces for 5* per skill. 4 skills plus 8 more materials for the two new slots. So roughly 2 full days of trace levelling per character depending on how lucky you get. I tend to get about 7 or 8 blues per 60 TB power. At 70 I think it's 8 purple per skill? Looks like about 4 days per character based on getting about 12-15% more drops.

I always keep Seele and Himeko, between the two of them they end most overworld or calyx fights before anyone else can move. Himeko's technique is really good and usually winds up busting shields and having her start with a followup. Then Seele is there to kill what's left before anyone else can move. Until recently I always ran Clara+March but as I got stronger it felt like March was more and more a waste of turns in anything but boss fights.

The biggest problem with supports is trying to find room for them in a party, especially without a dedicated carry like Seele. I guess I can do Welt, Natasha, Serval or other appropriate element 4*DPS, and Bronya, but most of the time it seems easier to just have two DPS for greater elemental coverage or Fire MC for more tanking.

My current mainstay all-purpose lineup is Seele/Tingyun/Bronya/Bailu. My current teams for Memories are usually Seele/Tingyun/Fireblazer/Nat and Sushang/Bronya/Bailu/Gepard. When silver wolf comes out it'll probably be Seele/(Ting or Bronya)/SW/Bailu as my main team. If/when we get a wind abundance, she'll probably replace Bailu, and run double element. berenzen fucked around with this message at 02:16 on May 14, 2023 |

FTB/Nat/Sampo/Serval is the group I first pushed to 60 (despite having Bailu), though I've used plenty of Asta, Pela, Hook, and Dan Heng. Not like most characters have revolutionary A6 traces, but I do still feel like characters are incomplete enough that it's not worth getting too attached. Probably helped by being a Sampo main when his archetype barely exists outside of SU, so I've already had to drastically shift teams for content.

# ? May 14, 2023 02:14 |

My main team ATM is focused around Clara so I usually bring some combination of Nat/March/Fireblazer/Tingyun with her. Serval has become my secondary DPS thanks to so much stuff being weak to lightning.

There's also the fact that some traces just aren't that important (and even the useful ones usually won't make or break a character's usefulness, outside of the three big ones; you could keep a character's traces at the tier below your current one and still be fine). The main things dictating how strong a character is, at least at this point, are relics and light cone, both of which can be transferred between characters. Relic leveling is a pain, though; I wish you could directly get relic XP from a domain instead of needing to salvage a bunch if relics. It'll probably be better at high Equilibrium, since there's only one more rarity and I'll be more comfortable indiscriminantly salvaging 3* relics by that point (for now I still need to check them for good stats).

After the nightmare of World 5, World 6 was easy and free for me. What this tells me is that I should perhaps target boss weaknesses instead of just using Seele at all times. (Cocolia rewarded this play style though.)

FractalSandwich posted:That's sort of an ideal configuration, in some ways. Because you'll be at zero pity after the banner before him, you can try to get him cheaply, and if you miss, the attempt doesn't cost you anything. And then since you're rolling on the next banner anyway, it won't leave you holding onto a high pity count you have to protect for very long. I don't think we'd know enough about how much jade we're going to get for each banner, and I would rather not pull unless I can guarantee I have 180 pulls saved up to guarantee the character I want. I'm not particularly confident that between now and 1.3 there will be enough jade available for me to guarantee all three of jing yuan, luocha, and dan heng, and with that in mind, skipping luocha for the two characters I'm more excited about makes sense. basically I don't like drawing just to build pity, because I don't have faith I'll win the coinflip

Ugh, the free standard ticket from ascending my last character to 20 got Bronya E1 instead of a new character, and her E1 isn't even good. This sucks, I now have 2 standard 5* units at E1 instead of a better/more flexible roster. Would have preferred literally any character I didn't already have. Standard banner is cursed. Edit I have barely noticed it making any difference, it certainly doesn't feel like a 50% proc chance. Maybe it will help more in much longer fights, but I'm not seeing the value so far. sushibandit fucked around with this message at 02:56 on May 14, 2023 |

Remember that you could have alternatively gotten a 5* Light Cone (also it's not clear if you were near pity - if you weren't, literally any 5* is good luck). Granted, there's a good chance that a 5* LC would be more useful than an E1, but there are a number of other possibilities aside from getting a new 5* character. I got the Bailu LC from my first pity on the standard banner, which was kind of disappointing but at least I'm getting use out of it since I also have Bailu.
