By the time you can guarantee a Bailu pull there will almost definitely be a healer with more utility in their kit available on a banner at some point.

Bailu is about 10x more useful than Qiqi ever was.

I haven't tackled Worlds 5/6 on Difficulty 3 yet but yeah, I've smashed everything up to and including World 4 Difficulty 3 with Fireblazer/Nat/Sampo/Serval with Hook as a fifth in reserve.

They might like Bailu keep the unique utility of her reactive heal (which is just extremely useful in general).

You guys are taking me along this time? Right? Wait Shaundi is going? This is bullshit man!

My only actual problem with Bailu (pulled her day 1) is the AI is terrible at using her ultimate when auto-battling through content

Finally beat this after realising I need to kill Bronya first in order to stomp that stupid combo attack from going off more than once.

I've been running 'Tasha even though Bailu was the first 5* I nabbed, but even though the debuff cleanse is really useful (for more than just SU Kafka), I miss the massive healing output and I might just try putting her back in the roster.

The 1x auto-revive is also a nice failsafe when you didn't pay attention.
it also helps in mirrorverse since if one dies, and she revives them, it still doesn't count as a down yet, so you still get the *

Hoo boy. World 6 went absolutely great until the boss, and then I was barely clinging on until phase 2 where it all went to hell in three turns. Maybe I'm gonna have to grind some relics so I don't have to depend entirely on the luck of the draw.

I do feel like you need to set it up so you can absolutely demolish Bronya as she multiplies Cocolia's damage output too drastically

The way I've been dealing with grinding materials in this is just letting myself be guided by the daily missions. If it says to do the "ascension materials" one, I'll throw all my fuel into doing that for some character I want to ascend (or to prepare them for their next ascendion).

Most aren't that bad. It seems like less than 2 days of fuel can get you all the ascension mats you need for a character's final ascension. Much easier than Genshin, which not only requires doing one of the bosses a lot, but also grinding a bunch of overworld items.

expected the new cycle of mirrorverse to have different battle conditions, but looks like its the same ones.
guess the game is too early in its life to actually change them since so few of the playerbase are too low to actually take a crack at them

I've got a pretty well set up team of six 70's and two 50-70's and MoC is pretty tough still. I'm at stage 4 right now and can probably top out at 5-6 depending on how much thought I want to put into it.

You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
I managed to 0 star the first MoC, but I had characters as low as level 42. I think I could have 2 starred it if they did not splat Tingyun in 3 consecutive hits though. I noticed it had other rewards beyond the Jade that seem to be titled after the buff cycle - Favor of Amber Phase 1 etc. Does this mean when it cycles to a new buff you also get new rewards there? The rewards are not record breaking, but it is still probably worth a few hundred stamina if you do them all.

Is there any point in saving the shop currency or might as well go hogwild S4ing whichever ones you need (saving the S5 for random)?

Abundance path with the dewdrop blessings and the resonance that hands out heals in the action bar allowed me to beat 3-3/4-3/5-2/6-2 with Fireblazer/Natasha/Welt/Dan and the occasional March for enemies with cryo weakness.

Haven't fully autoed the boss to death since I typically have to step in for the special boss mechanics.

I usually play SU manually, it's where I go to engage with game mechanics :v: Actually thinking about it I only really auto golden/crimson calyxes, the rest I like to play manually.

I auto the SU trash fights, except sometimes the one before the boss if I don't want the autoplayer to burn my path resonance taking the last 2hp off an enemy

I auto'd the SU boss fight with Kafka, just intervening occasionally to tap the abundance dewdrop button for the cleanse.

Worlds 3, 4 and 6 I don't bother to intervene with. edit - The biggest realisation for me was how much of a difference the right path for your team is.

The AI seems very stupid in regard to targeting and burst timing, so I don't really use it at all in SU or the weekly boss fights. Calyxes/materials are whatever though.

I also never auto any fights either anywhere.

And I also play on normal speed too.

And I never do any golden calyxes too when you can just get plenty of xp, credits, and LC xp from clearing out mobs daily, and the daily guide missions

BearPlayingGuitar

I’m team always auto unless I need to step in. Usually for first time clears of stuff. Otherwise my team of Seele, tingyun, bronya, & bailu behave fairly well.

Are they wasteful with skill points and not optimal ? Absolutely, but at the moment they crush most everything regardless.

I entirely understand wanting to play the game yourself all the time. But playing at 1x speed? The speed options are a bit weird, 1x feels more like .5x while 2x is more like 1.5x, there's no actual 1x speed.

To me, it's kinda wasteful for the game devs to pour in all the efforts in the graphics if everyone just set on 2x speed and everything just become a blur

I only really manual su elites and boss because the AI is bad when they’re a beefy and adds that will keep respawning.
And mirror verse because there’s usually a certain order on killing things unless your overleveled by a tier

You still appreciate the graphics and animations, both in set pieces and story content and on a subconscious level, this makes no sense.
