I was going to get Bronya E1 from my 300th standard roll (at 295 now), but I might get Himeko instead. I'm stalled out at 53k on the final Pure Fiction because all I build is Blast.

Have the rerun banners for 2.0 been leaked yet? I started after Luocha and Fu Xuan and have been anxiously waiting to be able to get one of them.

Not yet, so far as I know. It's expected that Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae will rerun for Chinese New Year. Luocha is also a favorite to rerun soon, but again, no confirmation yet.

I haven't seen an updated leak but I thought the order was opposite. Black Swan first, then Sparkle. 2.1 is a mystery first with people assuming Adventurine and then Sam second.

If you're still using a sustain either a) don't or b) use one with a damaging ult. I was using huohuo/ting/pela/argenti side one and switched fu xuan in for huohuo and had immediately better results even without the huohuo buffs.

Yeah, as soon as I remove Huohuo or March from their teams, my DPS inevitably die before the end, so I'm not gonna do that.

And I have no Fu or Luocha.

I used Fireblazer on one side, though my AOE DPS was still too low.

Yeah fireblazer on side two can help for breaks and aforementioned damage ult. Idk what your roster is but pela, herta, march 7th, argenti and to an extent Clara can do work on side one and himeko, kafka, serval, fireblazer, jing yuan are good for two. Otherwise don’t neglect supports completely (tingyun keeps ults up, ruan mei can keep you from getting damaged on either side by extending break while buffing damage). Also keep in mind you can clear 30k on a side without killing the boss and just clearing as many adds as possible, I got 63k without killing gepard or svarog. Build whatever characters you have that are good for this mode more in whatever ways you can. It along with MoC are the hardest content in the game so it’s a marathon not a sprint and at worst you lose a few pulls every month.

You might be right. I just searched 2.0 leaks on Reddit and the most relevant result was from a month ago saying it would be Sparkle then Black Swan. But I dunno.

4.1 is easy. Argenti, Herta, Pela, and Luocha make it an easy 30k+. I always come up short on side 2. I think I'm going to try an er rope on Serval and pair her with Kafka, Jing Yuan, and Fireblazer. Every other possible combination hasn't worked.

Also, I need to level Himeko's lightcone. It's actually good on Herta and Serval since their attack is so low.

Don't forget to equip the additional buffs for both sides in fiction too. Maybe you're just using the wrong buff for the team you're using?

The answer was to have Tingyun ult Serval instead of Kafka. I cleared it with over 73,000 points. I had godlike rng on that run since I actually managed the full 40,000 against Gepard.

Rhino, you did this to me!

So, I finally hit the 300 pulls on standard banner. Now, the only character I don't have is Yanqing. I could use it to grab him. Orrrr I could use it to get an eidolon on one of the other characters. Looking through who I have at what E I don't really see anything that stands out to me as particularly good though. Any recommendations?

If you like Clara, her E1 is pretty good, it makes her skill damage much more consistent.


I'd have recommended Bronya E1 but you have her already (I'm jealous, my account has no Bronya but E1 Yanqing)

Clara's e1 turns her from a counter attacking tank into a decent hypercarry. It makes it so Svarog's Mark never gets removed, so her skill is just 240% to everyone who hits her. Gepard's e2 is pretty good. I don't know about Himeko's, but she's worth building for Pure Fiction, so any boost to her will be good. Welt's greatly boosts his energy regen and helps for uptime on his ult.

gently caress Yanqing and Bailu.

Just get Bronya's e2 at that point.

Meanwhile, I get to fret about choosing between e1 Bronya, Gepard, and now Himeko when mine comes up in like a few months.

I have Bronya e1, Clara e0 built, and Himeko/Welt/Yanqing unbuilt e0. I'm pretty sure I'm picking picking Bronya e2 for a few reasons.
1.) More Bronya eidolons is more good. You're closer to e4 and e6.
2.) her e2 skill gives 30% speed to a dps, which opens up a bunch of options. Could get her to 161 speed and then she could boost your dps from 135+ speed to also 161+. If your dps is 135+ regularly and she is ~134, she'll be boosting the dps to 161+ which doesn't mean much since she'll rubberband the dps back each turn she uses her skill but it does mean if Bronya has to use her normal attack she may not go out of sync with the dps because of the speed boost on previous turn (auto play friendly too, could time it with when her e1 is cooldown for max skillpoint gain). Or you could be boring and give your dps attack boots, open with Bronya normal and then boost the dps every round thereafter.

Clara e1 is really good if you have her built; her skill multiplier on any enemy with mark becomes higher than seele’s skill and can go up to % 1200 atk with five enemies with mark. This is in a vacuum but her skill can be really good and with e1 her downtime on the damage increase is significantly less than otherwise.

My Clara is kind of poo poo and still does about 30k single target with her skill. E1 would be great.

If you don't have anything particular in mind, the answer is probably just more Bronya eidolons. Besides what shrach mentioned E2 also means that if you've speedtuned your Bronya and the enemy debuffs your DPS's speed, you don't have to worry about them going out of sync.

I made another attempt at 11 after leveling Ruan Mei and ended up at 19 turns, which hurts. But with the rewards being every 3 stars it wouldn't really matter, would it? I really doubt I'm getting 12 to 3 stars.
