An uncountable number, to be sure.
Even if Lynx and Fu Xuan are on the same banner, bringing both a healer and a tank seems bad to me.

Glad to see she's coming soon, I really like her recent leaked kit. Don't want either 1.3 5-star, but Fu Xuan seems like the more useful spook while rolling for Lynx.

Will Lynx be more or less of a disaster lesbian than her sister? Interested to find out!

I have my Fire MC built for damage but with Landau's Choice, and use her as a tanky DPS in the same team as Natasha, which solves all my problems with SP and my squishies getting two-shot between Natasha's turns. So if either Lynx or Fu Xuan can play an SP-efficient offensive role, then running both of them together could be hugely valuable. Especially if you're on the Entanglement plan and mainly care about toughness damage and then getting your stacks up during the break window; using a defensive build doesn't hamper either of those things at all.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Fu Xuan is also supposedly a hybrid between tank and DPS, and you may be able to lean towards damage with her so Lynx's healing won't be redundant

This is my concern, really. The good defensive characters in the game right now can comfortably solo sustain the party even in high level MoC, so it's tough to imagine wanting to bring two defensive characters when you can already survive with one, especially if you're on a cycle time limit.

If your Gepard is geared and set up right he's tied for best sustain in the game with Luocha and can absolutely keep a party alive entirely on the strength of his absurd shields. He shouldn't need to be run with a healer.

Adding weaknesses doesn't remove resistances. You can be strong against Quantum and weak against Quantum at the same time. Resistance only affects damage taken, while weakness only affects the toughness bar.

Shadow Wolf's skill also removes 20% resistance to that element.

I mean, that's a damage multiplier, but it's a damage multiplier that still works even if they have 0% resistance in the first place. So you'll still be dealing more damage to enemies that are not strong against quantum.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Shield + Healer is for when SU is being a bitch and just not giving you the draws you need, or when you are facing something that hits like a truck a million times in a row, or when you are facing something that can just turn off characters with stuns or jails or whatever. When you absolutely, positively do not want to die no matter what.

It's mostly overkill, but when it's not it's the only thing keeping you alive.

Fu Xuan is a Preservation, but she doesn't generate shields. Instead she's got a gimmick where she redirects party damage to herself.

Ideally your "tank" is less of a tank and more of an SP battery that also does something useful in the process. You can't just run a team full of offensive characters because offensive characters need SP to function.

Yeah I think the main reason Fireblazer is good is that their basic attack is possibly the best basic attack in the game

Based on Fu Xuan's leaked kit, she fulfills her tanking role just by using her skill once every few turns so hopefully she's a decent battery at least.

If Lynx and Fu Xuan are on the same banner I'm most likely gonna end up with Eidolons of one or both even if the competitive consensus somehow ends up being that they're the two worst characters in the game. I'm even more jazzed for these two than I was for Silver Wolf

Yeah I'm hoping Fu Xuan is the second 1.3 banner so I have time to recuperate after smashing my "do not open until Kafkamas" piggy bank.

Decided to do one last pull before saving for Dragon Dan and got blessed with Quinque E4! Pela just isn't in the cards for me, but I'm 19 deep into pity for Dan and can start saving. Now I can focus on building Yukong in preparation for my true Imaginary team. If I lose the 50/50 I'll still have 2 solid and powerful teams to continue improving.

I think this list is up to date, so redeem your 1.1 codes before they expire. 150 jade and 30,000 credits, plus some other stuff.

I do ten-cent google surveys all the time. I'm a little survey piggy. It's just funny that they're only giving users 30k in-game currency for free market research. They know gamers are broken and will frame this as "making my voice heard" instead of "providing data so they can extract my money as efficiently as possible"

100k would still only equate to 42 energy or so, less than one fuel (without trailblazer xp) but at least it's six digits so the average player could feel flush with the generosity of Game
