@z0d15g0d@themightyant - Nah, that curio disables all inputs. It won't even allow you to click LS to check buff/debuff states. Trying a manual input gives a permission denied popup at the top of your screen.

This is one of my pet peeves with Auto mode. I like checking whether buffs are active etc. to maximise strats and ensure you have full understanding. It's only one extra small step, but it's annoying.
@themightyant I've done my SU for this week also but that curio pops up quite frequently so hopefully I can test it out next week. I tend to only jump in when auto is misbehaving like 1 too many ults on mobs rather than the boss that's about to break lol.
@z0d15g0d@themightyant - Yeah, I get that auto is auto but not being able to see states is annoying to say the least.
What did you guys think of new MoC? Floor 11 was pretty brutal but that new boss on 12 is tanky AF! I auto'd it to see what the team AI did and got a 10 cycle clear. Might have to go back and actually play it to suss that boss out properly lol.
@Shigurui I usually have ONE quick go at MoC at launch to get most of the rewards and then wait and have a second go later nearer to when it closes. I'm currently on 33/36.
I cruised through Floor 11 on auto even using Firefly on the first phase even though it's not her element (it's quantum and ice). Acheron on the second.
Floor 12 I was on auto, blinked, missed it and died. I haven't had a second go. I will probably try it again and try and survive just to get the completion rewards. But I probably won't push for 36/36, you don't get any more rewards for 34 or 35 only 36 and I just don't think it's worth my time.
I don't find MoC very compelling. They purposefully do things like making enemies tanky. It's just deliberate bait to try and get us to spend... and i'm not biting. It's only 80 jade (half of one pull) and 100 feathers. Not worth my effort.
I usually try a bit more on PF and AS as there are rewards for every star. But again it's end game content designed to push us to spend. I simply don't care enough. As long as I can get most of them 33/36 and 11/12 is fine for me.
@Shigurui The only star I'm missing is one from AS. Still got 5 days to claim it but yea my auto teams are fairly solid now so I should be able to clear it manually when I've got more time.
Is the new update a new world or we back to Penacony again? I haven't even done the pre-install as I'm over Penacony arc.
@themightyant FF doesn't care about weakness as she creates her own lol so as long as you've got your break team she just trashes everything. I tried using Jingliu then Seele just to bring them out of retirement and they were no good then I used FF and was done in no time.
As even the best characters are becoming useless as the game progresses there's no point investing further in this game. I'm just free jading from now.

So true, end game enemy health pools are getting ridiculous. I saw a Brax vid a while ago fighting off element with E6 Jingliu and her damage output was pitiful. 8 months ago an E0 Jingliu would have done more damage.
@z0d15g0d@Shigurui Indeed. That's why I don't spend, else I would get seriously SALTY every time a character I bought is frog leaped.
I remember scrambling to get Jingliu and now she's really not that great... and while we are talking about scrambling for Jades heres a new code for 50 of them

Bronya just got even more sidelined with Sunday's appearance. He does basically all she does... and more in most situations. (she will still be better in a few very specific teams) He can even be skill point positive with his signature or eidolons. It's especially crazy as his worth will only rise when more summon characters are released for the new meta in 3.0. But his time will pass too.
Talking of Bronya... I still haven't quite decided who my free 5-star will be, but we've got half a year to use it. I'm at 64 wishes on the standard banner so will likely wait for a month or so to see who I pull normally, but E3 Himeko or E1 Bronya most likely... even if I don't use her. LOL. E1 Clara also a possibility.
No not directly replacing them as a break enabling team which has been the meta in penacony, instead it seems summoning characters will be the meta for 3.0 and Sunday is a good booster generally but SPECIFICALLY boosts anyone with a summon, boating both the character AND their summons making Jing Yuan, Topaz and Lingsha more viable. But in 3.x I’d expect a lot more characters that for this archetype.
He’s strong right now but in 6 months he’ll probably be Ruan Mei/Robin. (Still not pulling for him)
@themightyant Yea main character. So there's no point in getting Sunday till more characters with summons are released. I did the trial with Jing Yuan and it was ok but nothing to write home about as it was mostly Tingyun buffing his damage like normal and JingYuan has pretty much taken a back seat to Acheron. I don't have Topaz but I know I would never need Sunday with Lingsha as she's my dedicated break healer and her summons should not be forced forward, they're perfect as they are at intervals.
Robin only seems to excel with my Clara for some reason. I had her on most teams when Penacony first started then the break meta happened and she got relegated to one team only. The rate at which characters are becoming useless is getting disgusting lol. They should just stick to reruns and release a new one once in a while.
@z0d15g0d - Point was an E6 5* character doing tickle damage. Back in the day Jingliu could easily brute force any elements with a def reduction support.
@Shigurui You're right. I recall using her with Pela to great effect back then. Now even Pela is a hard sell for battles. Around 85% of my battles are either team Acheron or team Firefly. The rest is split between DHIL and Clara.
