That doesn't matter for the adventure challenges. Her eidolons have nothing to do with her overworld animations and technique.

the adventure challenges are really easy for me with fu xuan, her attack has a pretty big radius and gets everything

Sampo is necessary for me to max two of the three barrel shoot challenges, due to his ranged AoE technique. With him + Fu Xuan (or Asta as 4* alternative) I can get all barrels for all the maps. The only one I sometimes fail is the Luofu one, where I miss a barrel with one of Sampo's techniques.

The trotters are always a crapshoot - if I get lucky with thei clustering I can get the max rewards.

Sampo's technique is super good for the Trotters. The range on the stun is absolutely gigantic and he attacks fast as poo poo.

My first full clear was literally just Sampo tossing stun grenades and knifing them all between stuns.

I suck real bad at any of the barrel challenges. I mostly do them on the phone, and I consistently get only 21 or 22 barrels. Do you use FX for those, too?

M7, or probably anyone with a long range attack, can slowly and methodically snipe the trotters and they will not react.

I’ve never managed space station, the turns and aiming are too tricky for me on my phone. Kafka is great at trotter, I just run around spamming her tech and everything dies, and Jingliu got me the docks and mines barrels because her aoe radius tags everything you run past, but space station timing is so tight and I get caught on the edges of platforms.

Holy poo poo I'm an idiot and never considered using Jingliu's Technique to do the barrel missions. Always wondered how anyone got close to hitting all 30 using regular melee.

drat, that Jingliu tech is amazing. Sounds like Space Station is just extra difficult for everyone.

Asta is great for all of the adventures but especially the Space Station one since she can snipe the final barrels from the platform across

The only issue with Jingliu is that her technique has a pretty long animation imo.

yeah, i use her for all of them. if you're a big dork like me and fully memorize the layouts, you can hit all of the barrels with her atk without stressing too much. but you can't really waste any time, you gotta know where they all are

I pop it at around the 2 second countdown so it comes up right as the barrier drops.

That's actually apparently a bug: the trotters aren't supposed to just blithely ignore Topaz shooting them all. Hoyo says it'll be fixed in 1.6.

Thanks for letting me know. Grabbed that trotter cheevo which was one of only 4 I was missing in the category. It's a shame Predator and Nick of Time are pretty much impossible and the new one needs you to own Argenti.

Gotta say I’d appreciated her character a lot more if she pulled that out and started stabbing when it came to her big story moment.

The boxcutter was from when “Mr. Tail” was a delusion/not a real entity and she would cut a motherfucker if anyone didn’t agree that her tail was actually alive and glowing.

If this is true, Mr Tail being real is much better than that. Although that isn't bad.

Yandere Huohuo is a far more interesting character concept, but also far less marketable (especially considering Jingliu exists and mostly fills that niche now).

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Honestly a little weird that she's a healer considering nothing in her story really implies that. As opposed to a more offensive oriented exorcism magic kit.

A lot of her healing is sort of passive to be fair, the actual skill starts with "dispell a debuff" and the heal is sort of secondary, and her ult is empowering others to fight harder. Her talent is scaring overworld enemies. She's actually a really offensive Abundance design, it's just that in terms of offensive Abundance designs Luocha exists.

Because of how her heal actually functions, she's sort of meant to attack pretty often until you really need the heal (and she's the only healer whose ult cannot save a low health unit via interrupt)?

Also whilst obviously getting her Eidolons isn't realistic, they are intended to reduce the amount of turns she's healing people, between making her trait last an extra turn and improve ally speed, having a pretty hefty low health heal boost (so you can take longer to heal), and finally just straight up adding 50% attack to anyone she heals via her skill.

I mean, none of that has anything to do with the fact that the story never implies that she can heal people at all, unlike every other healer.

They act more like her job is subduing ghosts.

You know I didn't think of ever playing her without touching her skill, even at e6. How long does it take to cycle her ult with na's only?

About 3 turns if you gear her up right. My Yukong is really fast and has a metric ton of crit damage and crit chance on her. If you use her ult right as DHIL's turn comes up, it boosts his damage considerably. You can still use her skill before DHIL's turn if he entered the fight using his talent or if he has his ult charged too if you prefer.

However. Hanya is basically going to replace Yukong in a few weeks for similar damage boosts for DHIL and is significantly easier to use because she's so SP positive so... at this point it's not worth building up Yukong to use her for this. She did her job amazingly well but she'll be hitting the benches soon.

I wish Yukong's E1 had been something else since it messes up my DHIL/Bronya speedtuning

these ghost tales investigations are pretty good if you take the time to read it all.

Many of them continue the character stories like Yukongs which still is very bittersweet.

Mihoyo doesn't really approach things with a market standard gacha game marketing scheme for better or worse. Frankly I'm sort of surprised they went with a Halloween horror theme around the right time of year even and am not entirely convinced it wasn't just a coincidence.
