That said, (leaks about upcoming banners) In the next patch we're going to be getting Kafka and Silver Wolf from the intro, so if you liked their designs/personalities there, save for them.

Well I'm glad to know that now because I need both of them. :swoon:

Choose Path of Remembrance, keep everything frozen 24-7 until they die. Doesn't work in World 4 because the boss is immune to freeze.

I found going all in on Hunt was great because if someone gets one kill they can usually cascade it into *all* the kills with the whole combo of "if you kill, advance your turn 100%" and "if you kill, refill your energy 100%" blessings. :getin:

Oh, speaking of, should I only be spending embers on special passes, or is there enough income to blow those on normal passes too?

I figure undying starlight is rare enough to either only use on special passes or a character/cone that I just have to have.

Cool, thanks. I bounced off Genshin hard, so I don't really have a good frame of reference on what's "hang onto this and hoard like a dragon" rare and what's "eh, gently caress it, spend it" common yet.

Also I disliked Sampo because dude ditched me during main points in the story and gave me a janky treasure map that just led to mining equipment ( though he did give me a better treasure map after I threatened to kick his butt).

Sampo rules in a very "love to hate him" sense. It's like "ugh, sampo :rolleyes:" and "oh boy, sampo :allears:" in the same character. In the same cutscene, sometimes, even. :v:

E: I hope he shows up in future worlds with zero explanation whatsoever.

Gepard and March pair together really well actually, March's counter only cares if they're shielded, not if it's March's shield. Double ice is less nice but March falls off once mobs start doing tons of aoe so it's a solid pair. Gepard's shield is WAY beefier than Fireblazers.

That's fair, I'd just worry about either missing out on healing or damage throughout.

I like using my faves, optimization be damned. :shobon:

I was completely flabbergasted at people talking about how easy they found world 4. The boss there is absolutely murderous unless you have some pretty intense DPS, with his last phase seemingly 100% designed to punish turtle strats. First time I went in to him with a mediocre blessing build I got absolutely flattened, and second time I squeaked by narrowly because he decided to grab Bailu 3 times in a row and completely lock out my healing for the entirety of phase 3.

God tier blessing synergy makes things very easy, and mediocre/bad blessings makes things borderline impossible.

Full preservation + Fire Trailblazer/Serval/Dan Heng/Nat was easy as hell IME. :shrug:

part of making qingque's number go up is careful use of her skill, if you ignore her skill you may as well bench her

the guide sucks

The argument is that you're investing what could be your entire skill point pool for what may not even be an empowered attack, so it's hard to recommend playing that way from an optimization viewpoint.

I mean I'd throw that out the window too and let it ride, but it would be with the understanding that I'm chasing perfect at the cost of good. :v:

I'm presuming that the point of SU World 5 is to use the newly-unlocked Abundance path? Its Resonance seems the straightest method to get around Kafka's "half your team is now mindless" shenanigans.

Nat/M7's cleanse-on-skill traces combined with Preservation's 20/30% chance upon gaining a shield to cleanse were all I needed.

E: The latter especially took a lot of the healing burden off because getting incidental cleanses of Shocks helps so much.

not everyone has the dragon child and march is cuter

Plus with a Clara comp in SimU, it makes perfect sense to use both. Fire MC to keep incidental damage off the team, March to powerload Clara's defenses and threat value. DPS comes from Elation on-followup buffs to Svarog slapping a bitch.

Kafka is quite a ways away, so you’d have time to save up jade for her. That’s assuming you’re not rolling on any banner in between, of course.

Do we know how many banners we have until Silver Wolf? I want her on top of Kafka but I'm sick of seeing every video about the game basically being "IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SEELE YOU ARE STUPID AND BAD AND SHOULD UNINSTALL"-level hype on Seele. :negative:

Thanks for the sanity check, everyone. I guess I'm just getting annoyed by coming up short damage-wise on SimU world 6 repeatedly.

And yes, I know I could be patient and wait until TL40 and getting level 60 units, but if I was patient and reasonable I wouldn't be playing a gacha now would I?

E: I've tried with with various mixes of Dan, Sampo, Pela, Fireblazer, Serval, and Nat, and just haven't gotten close. I should've taken the "I barely cleared world 5 by the skin of my teeth" as a warning, not an invitation. :v:

If you are slamming at World 6 already then you don't need to go for Seele, you're doing well with game mechanics and will probably be able to beat the hell out of things with your favorites and characters you want, so hold on for those. I know you already got your sanity check but this is a double one

Yeah, honestly, I fell in love with Silver Wolf and Kafka in the intro and even more with Kafka in world 3 because now I just want to shake her by the shoulders and yell "WHAT IS YOUR DEAL, SEXY MIND CONTROL ASSASSIN???" so hearing they're getting banners made me fall into a dragon-like hoarding pattern that has only very recently been shaken by "ugh, I'm still failing Simu W6 and Forgotten Hall 11" griping.

I am leaning towards Svarog's choice. It's hosed up, but it's like do you do the 'nice' thing that will kill the robot eventually, or the hard choice that lets it stay alive but lose something important.

I went with Clara. I looked at it the same way as a person with a DNR order; let them live enough life that still has enjoyment, and then let them go.

Hell of a moral quandary to face down in a game like this, though.
