I've been testing an E0 one now and he seems fine enough, but you really do want to have his Eidolons. How well he can sustain is gonna depend on your other team members, though. It should be easy for him to keep a Kafka/BS team alive, for example, since attacking multiple targets with Besotted heals you that many times, but he probably won't do too well in a team with a Bronya that never attacks. His healing does feel a bit spotty without E4, though.

Much like Asta, though, he gets better when facing Fire-weak enemies. He shaved off like 20% HP of the last MoC's Memory Zone Meme on break, which isn't nothing coming from a healer.

Did you build him for damage, or just break? I'm wondering if I should abandon my sub dps build since my healing build has more break.

Got Acheron's E1 in 2 pulls. Guess all my failed 50/50s are being made up for in this patch.

I know and I love that they do that, but I can't help but wonder if people would dislike the way the storytelling is done in that patch because it constantly shifts POVs?

What kind of person would dislike one of the most common and straightforward writing techniques? Frankly, the game has stood out so far from most other stories ever told in any media for never really doing that earlier.

Anyway, I found it funny that (patch story spoilers) Acheron's faction in her profile officially changes from Galaxy Ranger to Self-Annihilator.

Edit: Also, now I want to pull for Aventurine.

So somehow I got her within twenty, so now I still have four hundred warps saved up. I'll play her during the banner with s1 gnsw and see if I feel like her cone is what I want. I'm mostly saving for ruan mei and fu xuan reruns now, which feels like I have the space to go for it...

Also her technique rules.

Just break. Though honestly it's probably fine to run a Fire DMG boost orb just to squeeze out some damage, since with his LC he heals himself so much anyway, and you can probably run a Crit Rate chest fine if you want, since the 34.5% Healing Boost is less of a force multiplier when you've got 75% already. But he doesn't really do that much multiplier over turns and his base ATK isn't that high, so it's just gonna be a small bonus. I wouldn't sacrifice BE substats for crit if you're not at 150% yet though I don't think

I'm just focusing on break though since once Harmony Trailblazer drops he can convert that BE to damage more regularly anyway

I saved the last two stages of the recent MoC because I'm kind of weak on those fire/lightning/wind stages and I knew I was going to pull Acheron. Got her up to 8/9 traces and went in with first passable relics I have. Even with minor misplays, one shotting it once more as f2p, she's on SI3 GNSW. She does steal half the Quantum team from Qinqque but they aren't that important. Won the 50/50 on 75 pulls so still have 200 pulls banked.

I hit pity on the standard banner last night also and got a second copy of Himeko's LC. I'll have to figure out who else can use that one. Still hoping for Clara, and Welt's LC one of these days. Maybe they'll do the targeted banner Genshin just added or another selector at some point.

Don't forget you can buy the Standard Banner LCs from the Store. 600 of the dup gems but still, if you really want them it's not a bad deal compared to waiting for more Standard pulls.

Just did a couple SU runs with the mythical Welt sustain. I know that is bumper bowling considering the buffs but I do see how it is viable now. I put really random relics on him to maximize EHR, speed and ER and he was able to lock down most encounters.

I had considered it since the new SU world really favors Mr. Ratio and Topaz. So I ran Archeron (e2r1) and Welt (using Pearls LC) with them - Welt fills the one Nihility requirement and Topaz (with LC) and Ratio offer debuffs for Acheron, while Ratio still benefits from the debuffs as well. I’m not sure how viable it is out of SU but they absolutely smash this new world.

I can see now how below e2 would feel restrictive, though I feel like in SU the team could still do well even if someone didn’t have e2. I kind of want to try Welt Sustain for real in MoC but will probably have to get him some proper artifacts rather than this current mishmash targetting substats. Skill points could be an issue out of SU but with Sparkle it should be ok, making the team Acheron Sparkle Pela and Welt.

I actually completely forgot about Harmony trailblazer in all the excitement.

I was actually building a sub dps setup when I found this:

My numbers are extremely close to this, so I think I'm going to keep grinding this out. I haven't unlocked all of his traces or maxed his lc yet. My break will end up much higher.

Jingliu is coming next banner and she's one of the top dps in the game contrasted by the rest of ice characters being not so great.

I wouldn't count on leaked reruns too much. Everyone was sure we were getting Fu Xuan and Topaz this banner. That being changed threw several of my plans out the window.

You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
I am pretty committed to getting Jingliu since I need ice damage and she seems to be good. I have 40 rolls towards pity and enough Jade for 142 rolls. Archeron would be kind of nice to have also, since I feel like I am somewhat saturated with sustain and support characters and beyond DHIL my dps characters are average. Is there any online thing to calculate how many gems/tickets will be obtainable per patch so I can figure out how many rolls I can do towards Archeron before stopping? I know I have 16 more tickets remaining from the 1 year anniversary event, and I could do the math for dailies, but I am not sure if upcoming events or giveaways are known. I would guess I need about 160 tickets / gem equivalents by the end of next banner, since I lose almost every 50/50 and have not got a banner character before high 70's since 9 months ago. Basically worse case scenario would be winning the Archeron 50/50, then losing the Jingliu one and being short 20 tickets or so from getting her.

Bronya/Sparkle. At e2 you get one flower whenever your turn starts with her, so 3 per activation. So the team would be something like Acheron/Pela/Sparkle/Geppard(with Trends)

It's a preservation lightcone called Trend of the Universal Market:

Increases the wearer's DEF by 16/20/24/28/32%. When the wearer is attacked, there is a 100/105/110/115/120% base chance to Burn the enemy. For each turn, the wearer deals DoT that is equal to 40/50/60/70/80% of the wearer's DEF for 2 turn(s).

It's relevant because it provides a debuff.

Trend of the Universal Market. It's a 4 star Preservation cone. Everyone got 1 copy for free in Belobog. It puts a burn on the enemy every time the character holding it is attacked. It's the vest cone for Fireblazer or Gepard on Acheron's team.

If Fireblazer's shields were a bit stronger, they'd be even better since their taunt also counts as a debuff.
