got Luocha and 2 Yukongs in 50, did 20 more and got two more yukongs and a bunch of pela dupes. game is so easy!!

Luochas heals are fat even with unleveled att mainstat relics, what a beast. sorely tempted to go for the e1 but there's just too much upcoming stuff I want.

Yeah, his skill is pretty much a full heal for the target and his passive healing field is doing an excellent job of keeping people alive. And for the record, his auto-skill use does give him a charge towards activating his field (I saw some speculation pre-release that it wouldn't). And mine is definitely not built for attack, I have crap relics on him. You could probably almost completely ignore attack on him and still have him be a stronger healer than Nat.

Managed to 3 star FH 14!

Team 1 vs Bronya: Welt, Sushang, Natasha and Silver Wolf.

Team 2 vs Svarog: Serval, Sampo, Asta, March 7

Welt is the only underdeveloped character on his team. I managed to defeat Bronya in 2 cycles and neither wave managed a single action.

Serval and Sampo are both underdeveloped. They're level 60, traces are poo poo and relics are unoptimized. Asta is 60 as well, but her Talent is level 7 and she has the Thief set so she's fine. It still took 8 cycles to knock down Svarog and it was drat close.

I was hoping March's ult would be more useful but it never froze Svarog or his hand. Gepard would have been better here. The only change to Serval was her E6 which allowed her enough damage to scrape out the win here.

Also I just had the idea to run Sushang with Quinque since Sushang could be the sub DPS and only use skills when the enemy is broken. Run them with Nat and SW to force weakness. I may have to put this together.

There's also going to be a free copy coming in 1.2, which is what I'm going to wait for now since I'm getting close to soft pity again and Kafka is coming.

I assume it's going to be like Genshin and eventually the new 4-stars will go into the common pool anyway.

Did the new challenge and I managed 8 cycles just fine but I needed to use Arlan to get 9. It doesn't matter because you don't get any additional rewards past 6. My team was Sushang, Serval, Asta and Gepard but I subbed Arlan in for Asta on the final attempt.

Arlan is serviceable but you have to build around him. Specifically you need Gepard with massive uptime on his shields, and maybe March too? I used him a few times and he came in clutch but I never put any real investment into him.

Serval does everything he does but better and easier.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Having won the 50/50 for Luocha, and thrown a few tens into the LC roll because why not I needed some more LCs, I may just throw random pulls into the banner to see if I can luck into another Luocha. That first Eidolon is a real nice bonus to his moveset.

That's because the battle buff is bonkers in that it lets him chain ult off the things that he breaks with his ult.

Spent 20 rolls, but I was at 65 or so toward pity from casually trying for SW. I did not really want Yanqing, but I guess delaying pity by 1 roll but forcing the 50/50 is worth the price. I think I am going to need to farm a lot now.



Now to decide if I want more 4* eidelons at the risk of getting E1 Luocha.

Tried out Arlan in Stellar Flare and discovered two things: he's actually really fun when he's got the murderball going and holy poo poo his ult makes my eyes hurt, especially played over and over. Hopefully they adjust it when they adjust Seele's.

So far it seems like they have done an ok job at making sure none of the characters are terrible, so a trial Arlan is decent. It is just impossible to level and gear everyone.

Also, I have noticed that every support Himiko has like level 2 traces. Is that the quit the game roll? Finally found one that was level 80 to farm fire weak things better.

It's hard to justify grinding Himeko up to 80 when you have other things to do if you're pushing MoC at all, even if you have her.

Hell yeah, got Clara as my second standard banner 5*. Probably the remaining standard 5* I wanted most, and I have a bunch of the Destruction trace materials because I've never built any Destruction characters aside from the MC.

Also lost the 50:50 on the character banner, but got the next best thing - Gepard, the other standard banner 5* I wanted (and he fills a similar role + I already have Bailu so not a big deal).

The only remaining standard banner character I care about is Bronya, but I already have a built Tingyun (and also got E2 of Yukong, who seems like a good support on paper? She gives a lot of DPS stats, at least).

you can push MoC whenever but you're gonna be grinding poo poo until the heat death of this game and himeko is excellent for that

yeah, Himeko is great. I think I use Serval more (and thus need to invest in her first) but Himeko's been great for me and even at end game stuff, as long as the enemy is fire weak she more than holds her own. Fire break deals exceptional damage, so like in the current MoC even she can juggle breaking one enemy then the other and repeating. I haven't tried to force her against non fire weak enemies but a. Silver Wolf and b. I think ultimately the game is meant for you to match weaknesses.

Trial Arlan gets big help from the event level buff that instantly recharges his ult

Lost the 50/50, but can't complain as I won the last 2. Got Gepard, though.

I need team building advice for my "B team" while only having one healer still. Right now I have Seele, Bronya, SW, Natasha as very effective main group.

I just pulled Gepard and have Clara, but everything I am reading says those two don't work well together. Can I cobble together a 2nd MoC team?

Seele, Bronya, Tingun, Gepard and then Sushang, Clara, SW, Natasha?

Trying to work out if I should keep pulling this banner as I get Jade and tickets (I'm flat broke that way in game) or start saving for a future banner and make what I have work? I'm 30 into the guarantee right now.

Part of the reason I insist on training a lot of units is because I like to have variety to meet any challenges. Also I like too many units and I want to play with all of them. The only progress it hampers is how deep I can push into Forgotten Hall/MoC, but that's not my favorite content anyway. I'll get there one day.

I want to pull Pela, but I don't really need her since I already have Silver Wolf. I also plan on skipping the next 2 banners, and maybe even more after that. Too many options leads to decision paralysis for me. I already have a hard time choosing my favorites from week to week.
