Ratio and Topaz is infinite shields with Trial Aventurine. One FUA character should also give you infinite shields for most fights too. His stacks rocket up from AOEs but he only gets one if you get punched really hard in one character so No FUA characters, single target enemies is his weakness. e: Even Kafka is enough I think to keep him positive

I do hope Sam is 2.4 somehow, but it's looking very much like he's gonna be in 2.3, possibly first half even. Feels like they'd want him to headline a patch. Boothill into Sam is gonna be really rough on my jades especially since I potentially also want their LCs/Eidolons

Just giving you the heads up now not to expect really big numbers out of him at E0S0.

Initially, I was just going to throw my full defense set on him and call it done. But after being able to actually use him, he wants to be built as a sub dps like Asta. It shouldn't be impossible to get a free 30% crit rate on him. It's really just a question of if I should go Belobog or Broken Keel for his planar set, but that's going to depend on what I get with his 4 piece set. It's going to be weird farming for crit defense pieces.

I really need them to release a flop character I don’t want because goddamn give me some time to save. Question re: Fire TB vs. Gallagher - anyone have a built Fire TB and run with Acheron? I realized my Trends is r4 and I never built it, so I leveled it up but my Fire TB is only lvl 51/60 with lvl 7/12 traces (e5 so I apparently missed an eidolon somewhere). Does she get to the point that you’re not taking damage or is it essentially a race to finish before you die/kill the enemy quickly? I put March’s defense gear on her and tried her in the new artifact domain to farm for Acheron, and she keeps everyone alive just fine, but the shield is so small that the team did take damage. That’s not even hard content though, but I know her level and traces aren’t going to give me a real idea of her potential though. I’m mainly wondering because I have e4 unbuilt Gallagher but Acheron is going to monopolize my fuel for a while. Her traces are at 7/7/8 ult with major traces unlocked but still need her higher level stat traces, and my artifact luck has been terrible (I have her using the quantum set and Saletto for now) so I have days worth of fuel she will be taking even discounting artifact grinding. She’s already doing more insane damage than I’ve ever seen outside of SU schenanigans but I would like to work on her more, and Fire TB is a closer to built than Gallagher (lvl 20) since March’s def relics are pretty good. I don’t have Fu Xuan, Huohuo is my best healer but she doesn’t fit in the Acheron dream team, March 7th doesn’t solo sustain general content well (I don’t want to have to go to the backpack to use heal items all the time), Bailu/Lynx I always avoid except out of necessity for second teams. If Fire TB isn’t what I’m looking for, what investment level does Gallagher need to do the job? I can give him Huohuo’s LC to help healing since there are a lot of ults running Acheron/Sparkle/Pela so maybe he has an earlier stopping point than I am guessing which would make it not too bad (compared to getting Fire TB to high investment from lvl 51, which I’m guessing she needs).

They are a tank in a game with a shitload of AoE attacks, they do not sustain well. If they can taunt and it's all single target poo poo they are amazing, because they have a ton of built in damage reduction, but their shields are just not good. And the thing about shielders versus healers is that with a shielder when you lose health it's just gone. They can certainly drop a lot of stacks for Acheron if they do start taking hits though.

Gallagher is very good, but he pretty much needs every trace at max and specific gear. His heals are flat numbers, and you need a decent amount of break effect to get those numbers higher. Mine is still very much a work in progress, and I'm out of every single resource, so he's not going to be ready for the next Pure Fiction. He'll be good to go when MoC resets, though.

Gallagher also gets a LOT out of his eidolons. E4 in particular makes him so much more capable as a healer. Before that it can be tricky to solo sustain MoC 12 with him. For a 4* though his numbers are there, which is interesting given he's only working off flat healing.

With E1 and his traces he also has 78% Effect RES for free. It's gonna be very easy to make him completely immune to debuffs, which makes me kinda wish he'd gotten some type of aggro mechanic, especially with how fast he can heal himself with his LC

I think it makes sense that there's a distinction, because in Acheron's flashback the unknown voice also says that Xipe does not glance at humans either (unless I horribly misread this in my long marathon), it merely sets patterns down for people to follow onto its path. Nihility and Harmony are set up as polar opposites of each other but the Aeons are similar in that they don't glance at humans. IX doesn't glance because doesn't care enough to do it while I assume Xipe doesn't glance at humans because that would mean elevating an individual above the whole. Either way, neither of them truly elevate mortals to the standard of Emanator so the most powerful path followers are functionally Emanators in power but without the context of being a representative of a godly being.

Mine isn't really tuned up, and I haven't put her up against bosses, but she can drop 100k by existing. I imagine if I actually get a Pela debuff and real gear and max Traces going on that the number will be....impressive.

At E2, it’s perfectly possible for her to do 3 million damage per ultimate with a nearly 1 turn ultimate cycle in the SU and 1-1.5 million normally.

The Sterling luck I've had the last six months on FGO, Genshin and Star Rail finally ran out. My last banner pull prior to this got me Black Swan so I was starting totally from scratch. Went to pity on Acheron's banner, got my 4th Gepard than had to go to pity again to get her. Then I went to pity again on Luochoa's and got my first Bailu, 30 pulls more and ran out of jade for the first time since launch day. I'm determined to get luocha still, so grinding out whatever jade i can between now and then plus Welkins should get me pretty close to pity for worst case scenarios. Managed to e6 Dan and Gallagher along the way, pulled a lot of Pela's but she was already at e6. So is Bailu worth doing much with? Stuff I read indicates she's kind of powercrept out of usage. I have a decent Fu Xuan so I don't even use healers that much, I have Lynx, Natasha and Gallagher all at e6 though.Is Bailu at e0 competitive with those three, or are there specific applications she'd be better used in than any of them?

Does she really put Imbibitor Lunae to shame? acheron's limiter that her eidolons/lc remove is her team building considerations, not her damage. if you have 2 nihilities and a team that can manage 6 debuffs consistently, e0 acheron without her signature lightcone does more damage than e6 jingliu. the issue acheron faces is that there are very few teams that can support that, and they usually have less sustain or tighter action economy. for instance, the easiest team that can manage that is probably acheron/silver wolf/pela/fu xuan. but pela or silver wolf needs resolution shines as pearls of sweat, which means whichever one is carrying it doesn't have an effect hit rate cone, which impacts how good you need their relics to be. silver wolf's bugs are also a bit RNG. fu xuan also wants trends, but there's no taunt in her kit, so you're just kinda hoping enemies smack her - and again raises her relic requirements if you want to increase her sustain. and of course, it uses 2 limited five stars, and a very good 4*.

Lynx is a budget Huohuo who can clear debuffs regularly and has some niche synergy with Blade. Gallagher's got offensive applications against Fire-weak enemies, brings debuffs for characters that care about them, and has a bazillion Effect RES. Bailu's better than Natasha probably but that's a low bar (and I personally think with E4 and S5 Post-Op Natasha's better anyway). The one unique thing Bailu has (the one-time revive) is something you shouldn't need with a properly built sustain, and her RNG heal E doesn't help matters. I think she's just kinda designed to be a crutch sustain unit for the start of the game/players who don't have other options. If you have FX and are getting Luocha I don't think Bailu's got anything to offer you really. I fully admit I'm the resident Bailu hater though so take my words as you will

Got Acheron (and Gallagher!) in 20 tickets and now I get to think really hard about trying for either her LC (wow, but it's not a new character) or Adventurine (wow, but god I'm already drowning in characters I need to build) this patch. But for the time being I think that: Acheron with S3 GNSW Gepard with trends of market Pela Gui (have to build) should suit me quite well while I dither over the question during the course of the banner!

I don't think the lack of cleanse is as crippling as people day, but regardless, you can't sustain the team with her ult alone and you will be dipping into the sp and that healing and rez is all she offers. I'll still use her occasionally, especially if the content is hard enough to justify a rez, but she's far behind the other 5* sustains. Still a world better than Nat though.
