I'm currently at 39 pity from trying to luck into DHIL or Guinaifen's e6 after getting Black Swan (I guess she showed up towards the beginning of her 10-pull). I also have 58 tickets right now.

Does anyone know how much free jade/how many free gold tickets we usually get per patch? I wish HoyoLab would show my data for a whole year so I could average it, but it only shows the last 3 months which would be kind of skewed because of 2.0.

For me it seems like you want to run Sparkle as fast as possible and have your DPS use ATK boots. Sparkle will never double-turn like Bronya can, but she can act as an effective ~50+ SPD.

Speed matching her the way you do with Bronya makes the MoC cone not great for her because you can't guarantee the DPS will move immediately after. But that also doesn't work with people like Topaz or Jing Yuan who will lose the cone buff before their followups go off, so DDD is a solid choice in those cases.

I completely agree with this. I threw together a set of relics for Sparkle to use when I get her, and I think she's going to wind up having just over 160 speed, which should be good. I've already got Attack boots for Qingque to switch to, but I haven't really planned ahead for any other characters who I might want to use Sparkle with.

Bronya isn't great with Jing Yuan and I imagine Sparkle will be the same. Bronya's damage buff from her skill and lightcone doesn't affect follow-ups. Bronya can make getting 10 stacks of Lightning Lord more consistent, and her crit bonus is good. But generally, you want Tingyun and Pela or Asta or Hanya.

What's Bronya got to do with Sparkle and Jing Yuan? My line of thought on Sparkle is giving Jing Yuan 160+ speed to maintain outrunning lightning lord and building stacks, he'll also keep the ~100% crit damage between his turns for LL. I just don't see how Sparkle plus another harmony to fill her deficiencies doesn't blow away any other harmony/nihility pairing.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
There's also people that just don't know what sparkle actually does beyond turn advancement and SP regen.

She gives buffs just like the other top tier harmonies, and they're pretty strong even if you use her as a normal harmony unit. Her crit dmg not only scales higher than Bronya, but it is 100% uptime unlike Bronya who only gives the crit buff on her ult since there's no reason to not use Sparkle's skill.

On average you call it like a month and a half per patch, which is 1 or 2 monthly cycles depending on how you count it. From pure monthly activities twice, maybe 50 if you do all of the content. If you can't max out MoC and PF, dial down expectations. The issue, of course, is there are like 4 pulls you get per patch for maintenance. Then some quests, and the "try out this character" jade from the banners. And then there's usually an event or something. Realistically? It can maybe be like 70 pulls a patch if you really, really do everything.

I believe the intent is you get just about a pity worth a month, if you really go for it. But oooh, if you bought the banner or extra jade thing? Then it'd be a pity a month!

Simply put it on Herta instead!

Realistically I'd probably just use on Jingliu too, but I'd consider passing it to Herta when necessary.

I have a similar problem but it doesn't freeze. It just takes a super long time to load and then disconnects immediately. Luckily the second load time is shorter, so it works after that.

Drop all your graphics settings to minimum
Repair Now option in the launcher
Clear downloaded resources in the launcher
complete reinstall
reinstall in a different directory (so not like in program files or whatever)
Network stuff (firewall exception etc.)
Rollback/update graphics drivers

Beyond that I dunno

E: Using google led me to this reddit post, it says something about cutscenes being the problem i guess? someone posted a solution there

134 speed Bronya, then just as much speed as possible on the dps.

On everyone else, really.

So really besides "more speed good," Bronya is the only one who's really speed tuned in this scenario. Completely reasonable.

It sucks that Clara can't really solo sustain. Even with her lightcone, her miniscule healing can't keep up with the damage in long fights.

You only need 2 sustains and of the 3 limited ones he's the weakest. Adventurine probably pushes him to 4th place. Rumor is that Fu Xuan will be the rerun at 2.1 launch, so between those two and Huohuo, it's gonna be hard finding a reason to pull for him later.

I don't think he's the weakest sustain, if the content did more damage he'd be way better than Huohuo who barely has any healing, and his purge has been consistently pretty useful. Being a completely SP positive support is a huge asset, let alone the purge. At least at e0 Huohuo the only team I have where she's felt comfortable is Black Swan/Kafka. I've been using her with Jingliu and it's just been extremely uncomfortable.

How much HP does your Huohuo have? Cause mine has 8k and I've done all of the content in the game with her and healing has never been an issue for me.

Edit: Also I guess it depends on how you build your teams because I would argue that the auto-healing you get from triggering Ults is probably greater/more important than the healing from her skill. My teams just almost always are at near-max health which makes Huohuo also SP positive.

Aventurine looks to be very sp positive for follow-up teams.

Luocha is only "weak" in the sense he doesn't provide any attack or crit bonuses at e0. Which is whatever, that's what Harmony is for.

I have Luocha and Fu Xuan. I'm pulling Aventurine, and I will probably drop Fu Xuan for most content. Luocha is just very comfortable.

Huohuo and Fu Xuan can never be as SP positive as Luocha, which still gives him an edge in some teams (DHIL teams being the prime example)
