Tried for Ruan Mei, took ~80 rolls for Himiko E1. If I just won 50% of the 50/50s my team would be substantially better. I think I have won 2.

Thanks for interpreting.


Erudition is great. My Jing Yuan, Quinque, and Argenti loving wreck poo poo. I just don't have good aoe fire or ice, and trying to force weakness with SW and QQ against the first half of 11 side 2 comes down to too much rng.

Even selecting for my best remaining gear, my Herta has 2,900 attack and 80/109 crit. And I don't have an ice orb, so that's with an attack one. It's just not enough to burst down the ape and IPC fast enough.

It's good. I'm honestly not even sure if Guinaifen would help because I'd want her and Pela. Which means I'm still kind of screwed because I'd drop Herta before Topaz. If I could only find an extra 15-20 speed for my Topaz team because they're all hovering around 125. It takes them 10 cycles to wipe the stupid Deer. My Jing Yuan team knocks out Geppy in 5, but they all have over 140 speed except Clara. :)

It also really sucks because I have 2 cracked af Attack boots with great subs, but I need the speed to be able to have a chance of 5 cycles or less. And my Speed boots all universally suck rear end.

Like, I really can't find a decent rotation for the second side. I can't burst down any single unit with any sort of speed, but I can at least keep all of the IPC adds broken.

I feel like I'm drowning in side-quests. I just finished Belabong's main story I think, I'm supposed to follow up at the train and get ready for the next assignment, but there's still a zillion things to do on the planet and a ton of new things at the space station. What should I prioritize? I'm 40, ascended most of my mains but haven't XP'd them up yet.

I’m just about where you are and I’m just doing a little bit of story and then more interesting side quests and having a good time. For me that means the side quests that open up stuff like the critter event (and anything that rewards jade)

I would tighten up Belobog and the space station first. Once you enter the train, you're headed for the Luofu, which is a whole nother world with even more side quests and main story quest.

Since she is from the next area of the game, it'll make sense when you start doing that story.

If you have Gepard, Preservation is a trivial third win. Quake damage will do so much with Gep shields.

Beat Difficulty IV of the new mode, so next up is V. The main issue that made me come close to losing (and made me lose on the preceding run) is that my Propagation build just had low defense. But my offense was pretty huge - ended up with almost every Propagation blessing.

I was also using a version of the dice that I wasn't a huge fan of - the turn count one. I noticed that it keeps a record for each dice type, so I guess I'll try to win at least once with each type.

This video is like some sort of visual ASMR

Seeing the hands gently manipulate things is soothing for some inexplicable reason

edit: Even watching this entire thing, I have no loving idea what they're doing. Particularly when they whip out the "plastic cube with spherical cut-outs"

edit2: This person is very skilled. I wish I had the fine motor control to do stuff like that. I'd be paranoid constantly about my hands just spazzing out and ruining what I was working on.

Yeah, I now see what they were doing with the balls. It's interesting how they create the cylindrical "body" part.

edit: Is the way this works that it's liquid and then hardens when exposed to UV light?

Yeah, that's why the initial resin batches go into those shelves so that they're not exposed to light.

I am not that interested in any of the new future characters, but I would not mind Ruan Mei if I could also have enough saved to get Jingliu whenever she gets back since I need non-Yanqing ice damage.

We don't know anything except leaks. It's rumored that Jing Yuan will be rerun in 2.0. We'll know for sure during the next Special Program.

Blade would definitely work with the Destruction path, he's basically built to get hit, survive, and do damage.

You don't need to use the path's blessings to win with it. If you have a team that works with a certain path you can just target that to win. I just won the set where you boost your path by skipping adjacent cells and I forgot to include a side that let me do that.

So far we've got Seele (1.0) in 1.4, SW (1.1) in 1.5, Blade and Kafka (1.2) in 1.6. JY and Luocha (1.0/1.1) are rumored to be rerun in 2.0.

Personally I'm expecting DHIL and FX (1.3) to get reruns in 2.1, meaning they're rerunning 1 patch at a time in order, and JY and Luocha are just outliers to catch things up since 1.4 and 1.5 only had 1 rerun banner. If that's the case then Jingliu and Topaz would probably be in 2.2.

Though even if she's in 2.1, since we get about 90-100 pulls per patch you should still have enough by then to guarantee her

I remember some people mentioning that a few characters, like Kafka, have a disproportionately strong level-10 trace. Does anyone know off-hand who else is like that? I only go over 9 for the characters I use the absolute most.
