Finally managed to clear moc 8 and get the star I needed for 21. Doubt I can get any other star before I hit trailblazer 60.



team 1 was seele, tingyun, nat, fmc and team 2 JY, pela/asta/SW, bailu, m7. SW will probably take that slot permanently as she speeds up single target killing a lot compared to the other 2 and JY does enough aoe on his own.

Having come from PoE, I'm somewhat hesitant on recommending Grimro as he seems to be new-ish to gacha. I still watch him a lot as he does have some good reasonable insight, but I'm always a little wary of people who go a bit too heavy on the spreadsheets, because some theorycrafters who go that deep end up losing perspective on how characters work in practice.

But in PoE, he did keep some great spreadsheets on loot drops and farming strats. So for any of his videos on farming and stamina efficiency, you prob can't do any better than Grimro. His character guides, I'm a solid 'eh, maybe, but I will continue seeking out other opinions'.

Other than Guoba Certified as I called out above, I don't know how knowledgeable he is himself, but MrPokke translates a lot of the CN theorycrafting. I don't know if CN theorycrafting is necessarily better, but it's definitely useful to see what takes CN and global agree on, vs. which opinions are more contentious (and their respective reasonings behind them).

I remember taking a few tries on SU-3 myself, but it's been awhile. I don't remember if he was one of the ones you want to break ASAP (I don't believe he is, but...).

The advice that really helped for me was to kill his adds on phase 1 and 2, but ignore his adds in phase 3 (they have too much hp) and just burn him down.

Going deep down a single path in blessings is generally better than getting a smattering of them, but you probably already knew that. You unlock a thing in your talent tree that lets you reroll blessings, if you're not there yet.

Otherwise here is one person's guide on SU. You don't have to follow it to the letter (unless you're horribly underleveled/undergeared) but it does do a decent job of highlighting what you should focus on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rl8NdZahuT8vxY21C_85iGgxHZyh6sr7ZwVvEbr0o1M/edit#gid=0

With this guide and some lucky blessing picks I was able to easily beat 3-2. Team was Seele, Gepard, March, and FireMC. Path resonance was hitting for 75k, got the achievement for having 5000 shields on a character.

bailu's big advantage over natasha is that her invigoration mechanic means she can heal people without having to spend sp.

Yeah, invigoration is amazing. I rarely need to use Bailu's skill, unless I get unlucky and a specific squishy character gets attacked a bunch.

In SU Invigoration combines very well with the "split damage among all party members" blessing (I think Abundance?). It keeps individual damage low enough that Invigoration can usually handle it.

Edit: I feel like Natasha might be better in a situation where there are a lot of strong single-target attacks and you have a tank holding aggro. But it's usually AoE attacks that cause problems for me.

She's very good imo! And with E6 she actually does a nonzero amount of damage, which is good for me because I've somehow pulled her 7 times so far

Playing at high ping, I swear switching characters while you were running around out of combat used to make your movement hitch for a moment like in Genshin, but it doesn't anymore. I guess they fixed that in 1.1?

Thank you for all the advice, ended up swapping in Tingyun and I cleared SU 3 no problem. I think part of my problem was just getting unlucky with Bailu dying right near the end, but I also got real lucky with blessings this time too. Now I get to worry over SU 3-2 in a few ranks like everyone else.

In other news, for some reason the new event really scratches the simcity / simtower itch in me (even though it's real straightforward). It almost seems out of place, but I like it. Never kept up with Genshin past the first six months and just re-downloaded that so I have no idea if they ever did something similar there, although I do know they did add the card game there.

They did have something a little similar in the last Windblume event, but it was over too quick and just watch number go up instead of doing little sidequests like here.

It took like a week or so for the second bit to trigger for me. I'm not sure if something I did actually triggered it, like going up a world level or something; for a bit I'd thought it was stuck behind serval's one, which I was ignoring, but eventually clara sent a message for the next part, so that's not it.

Pretty sure it's tied to equilibrium level. I went ahead and upped mine last night and immediately got a text from Clara to finish the quest after about a full week of silence.

Though it could be you just have to wait a certain number of days and it was a massive coincidence.

While I'm still chasing an energy regen rope, I'm not too mad about where my Silver Wolf's stats are at.



That's on top of like 3000 HP and almost 2000 attack (assuming that the bonus from Pan-Galactic Enterprise gets added in the stats page).

E: Upon testing the bonus is not computed in the stats page so she's probably closer to like 2300 attack? Jesus.

Silver wolf is now reasonably set and she's pretty cool, but the problem now is that the freebie LC is essentially gonna be stapled to her for the forseeable future. That wouldn't be a bad thing but Pela also wants that LC super bad, it basically completes her kit perfectly and makes her amazing. Not sure what to do...

The museum quest is pretty cute, it has huge Yakuza business minigame energy. I thought the sculpture retrieval mission was pretty funny, because the quest objective kept changing based on how fed up the party was with getting all the parts. It started with 50 parts, and then after complaining about it taking too long it ended up dropping to 40 parts, and then after getting a windfall you actually end up with 43 parts.

lmao holy poo poo, I caved on my attempt to not pull Silver Wolf because the idea of a mono-quantum team sounded too spicy, and I got her in one 10-pull (with my last pull having successfully gotten Jing). First time that's happened to me.

part of me is tempted to go for the eidolons but no, that way leads to madness and way too much money loss

The best way to mentally handle an early character pull like that is not to think about the potential for Eidolons but think about the extra new character you can now likely afford with the unspent resources! Now you could roll for Luocha too, or try to get Kafka and Blade next patch.

lmao, I just got 18 Hunt blessings in 5-2. I was worried because I hosed up.and didn't have any cleanse aside from March 7, but Kafka literally only got a single turn once during her first phase.

I wasn't even using any Hunt characters! Jing Yuan and Welt were my DPS, but Welt was able to break Kafka with just ~two uses of his skill.
