Tingyun's atk cap is 2500 which is super easy to reach without any extra help

It'd be good if you're struggling to reach the cap or if you need more defensive gear on her. It's definitely not her best option, but it's far from the worst.

I'm probably going to try it out on Hanya when I finish building her.

I'm glad that Xueyi is with Robin, since I want both. Boothill I can totally skip, since I have Pela e6, Hook e6, and Luka e5.

To make long time players spend rolls for the 5* they want but get (effectively) nothing from it on the way there. I mean I know the question was rhetorical but there you go.

But those are bad units (edit: well, Herta's better now due to Pure Fiction I guess). Pela is legitimately great and Luka has synergy with Boothill by retriggering Boothill's break damage.

I have e6 Yukong, but I haven’t used her since I stopped trying to make Welt a dps around December. I really should try yo use her more. She basically solves poo poo relic problems. Maybe I'll try her on team IPC once I get Topaz's lc.

Edit: Yukong is probably very good against that loving meme dinosaur. Every second turn she doubles her own attack and break on basic.

Herta will never appear on a banner. I just wish I would pull her. Mine's stuck at e5 because of Sim U.

Also, why no 4 star drip for 2.3? Does that mean we're getting March's new form then?

Today's triple Caverns let me get Jingliu enough speed to go before Bronya and she's so good. I could have slowed Bronya down, but the same pieces that give her speed also give a bunch of crit damage, and it would feel bad downgrading her stuff like that. Jingliu started with some mediocre hand-me-downs from Yanqing, so she needed better relics anyway. Hopefully I'll get more upgrades in the next few days.

At this point I could field three MoC12 capable teams simultaneously if I needed to:
Dr Ratio / Topaz / Silver Wolf / Aventurine
Kafka / Black Swan / Asta / Gepard
Jingliu / Blade / Luocha / Bronya

I also have a few other built characters, those are just teams I could make with no compromise/overlap. Clara, Lynx, and Tingyun are a good trio but ideally would want Topaz.

Guess i'm going to throw a couple of 10s at the Topaz banner because Hannya and Xueyi are my only missing 4*s. Would probably have rather tried my luck at Boothills but 2 of the 4*s there are the only ones I already have at E6 and it doesn't seem worth it.

I just upgraded an ice orb for Jingliu that has flat hp, flat atk, effect hit rate, and speed. I thought there was no way it would be any good so I did 3 levels at a time and it got 4/5 upgrades on speed, lol

It's kind of helpful that Boothill's banner has Pela. I really want her e4, and I might end up finally building Luka as well.

I think Robin is going to be absolutely cracked in Pure Fiction. I'm sure in a month I'll be posting about feeling punished for not having her. She's just so bland.

Even though I should probably just save what little I have for Jade, I think I'll just dump what I have trying for Robin. Xueyi cons are always in demand.

I'll have to wipe out my shop currency, which means I can't buy the Bronya LC for my e1 Bronya, which will make my shiny new Jingliu sad, but oh well. She can suboptimal with Ratio's debuff set with 159 speed Sparkle and e5 Pela for the foreseeable future, I doubt it's that big a DPS loss overall.

do we know what materials robin and boothill use? i assume they'll use the new boss materials and i'm honestly tired of fighting the big bug for those past evils of the borehole. robin will most likely use the same harmony mats that sparkle used but do we know boothill?

Bizarrely, Boothill uses the new weekly, but Robin still uses the bug's.

Boothill will probably use new trace mats and Robin the ones Sparkle uses.

I think both of them use a new Stagnant Shadow mat.

Robin uses the space bug. Boothill uses the new Sunday boss. Hatblazer probably needs Sunday as well. And there's a new calyx for Hunt, but I'm not sure if there's a new Stagnant Shadow. I can't remember.

Early Access Stagnant Shadow is fine it's just an elite from the new area but it's like if you pulled Acheron day 1 and you immediately have to fight Aventurine in a new outfit and he's throwing dice and poo poo at you just to uncap her.

Are you referring to “Harmonious Choir” The Great Septimus? “Harmonious Choir” The Great Septimus is the new weekly boss right? I distinctly recall them repeatedly saying the boss's entire title (“Harmonious Choir” The Great Septimus) during the livestream.

I was not aware that is Sunday.

Just a guess. It sounded like his voice in the choir hall before the boss fight, but I might be mistaken on that. I try to avoid story leaks, so I don't know any more than what we saw in the stream.

A bit late but thanks everyone for the Eidolon advice. I ended up pulling for E4 Gallagher after finishing the monster bartending anime. Then after receiving the 10 pull in the mail, I followed the wisdom of our favorite degenerate gambler and rolled them to get E6 Lynx anyway. The chance, no matter how small, the potential is what you hang onto. That's what justifies the gamble!

gently caress they put Robin first? I was planning on seeing what I had saved by phase 2 and weigh how much Firefly e1s1 might take vs. how much I had saved to decide if I could swing Robin. I’m feeling the squeeze. I’ve been tempted to put the crystals I had saved into JL too…this is a rough time since I didn’t want to refresh (much) after using the shop bonuses for Acheron.

Also I didn’t screenshot it (it crashed and put me back at the start of the event) but HuoHuo was my most used unit by far, and Topaz was my most shared and made me a significant chunk of change.
