I would assume they already have Himeko since she's not listed.

I'd go for Bronya e1. Makes her much more flexible.

Hit my 300 standard pulls. The options are:

-Bronya E1, which is excellent but i've never used her
-Clara E2, which looks pretty good and she's been consistent bedrock for my teams
-Yanqing

the choice is clear

Yanqing’s coming home!!!

Also, I was just reminded Topaz is rumored to be rerun alongside Aventurine. Now I need to wait to see if that's true because Topaz's lc means I no longer need a debuffer for that team and can use Bronya instead.

I’d imagine it’s true, just because Aventurine and Topaz have strong synergies with each other and fit nicely with the free Ratio everyone has.

Bronya e1 is sooooooooo strong that if you ever want to use her, you will kick yourself for getting Clara's e2 which is just some more atk, when she's already getting plenty of atk from the phys set. It's a fine buff, but Bronya's e1 really makes her feel less bad to use via less sp stress.

Yeah, she's basically sixth best in a role where at most you'll need four, assuming you want to do double hyper carry strats. This reflects in her usage numbers as well as how often she's discussed.

(IMO, the top five harmonies in order are RM, Bronya, Tingyun, Pela, and Asta. Hanya only pushes Asta down specifically with DHIL.)

Couldn't Hanya also possibly be better in a role supporting two DPSes? Though I guess Ruan Mei is always going to win out as a team buffer.

Tingyun I guess also has the limitation where she loses a chunk of functionality when the DPS doesn't scale on Attack.

Speaking of scaling, I wonder when we'll get a Def-DPS. We already have HP ones.

Hanya's best use case is dual dps teams, but Ruan Mei Sparkle will always be better in that role. If you don't have either.

The only dps so far who doesn't scale on attack is Blade. Tingyun is still halfway decent there because of her energy regeneration. That's usually why you use Tingyun anyway.

QQ can get by on sub par relics. Her buffs can compensate for a lot.

I hope we have a full followup meta team sooner rather than later. Would be really fun to just get insane chains of followup attacks. I lucked out on the first day of Mr. ratio and got that achievement where it asks for him to do 4 followup attacks in a row and that was super fun.

I’m really glad I returned to the game when Topaz was out and invested pretty hard into her just because I liked Numby.

I rarely use Bronya. Kafka's not built for crit, so Tingyun/Asta/Hanya are simply better. My Tingyun and Hanya are built to provide a ton of speed, so they're better for Jing Yuan. Occasionally, I'll use her with Ratio, but only if the enemy is heavily resistant to Fire. Now that she's e1, she's more effective with Quinque. So that's probably where I'll keep her.

I don't use my Bronya very often anymore, because I use her with Blade, and I've been using my newer teams instead. I have Dr Ratio/Topaz/(Silver Wolf or Pela)/Sustain and Black Swan/Kafka/(Asta or Pela or Silver Wolf)/Sustain.

I really like Nihility units. Right now I have all of them, but I won't be getting Acheron. I don't have the other three 4* ones built, but I intend to once I have time.

I do use Tingyun when I go with Topaz/Tingyun/Clara/Lynx but Dr Ratio is so dang strong I haven't been doing that very much. The Blade team is Luocha/Blade/Bronya/Pela. I still love Blade but Black Swan is new and shiny right now. He will be helpful if there's one side that is weak to lightning and the other side to wind, since Black Swan and Kafka are inseparable.

Xueyi is still only really good for Quantum enemies? I was thinking of using her to cover my Wind and Ice gap, but I'm not sure if she's worth the investment.

She's not great when nothing is weak to Quantum. But if only some enemies are weak to quantum, then it works out pretty good.

This is why she functions okay when some enemies are weak to quantum; you can use her ult to blast the other stuff. But if nothing is quantum weak, she's very rarely going to do any follow up attacks, and then her performance drops off a cliff.

I mean, her damage output is probably still okay. But I think she suffers more in situations she isn't suited for than other characters.

Sounds like I'm better off sticking with Quinque and Silver Wolf.

Xueyi can only get one stack of Karma when other teammates reduce toughness bar while she can gain multiple stacks based on how much toughness bar she personally reduces. That's why you want to take her primarily to Quantum fights.
