@themightyant - Tribbie looks to be the best flex for a no sustain team. I built Sunday as hyper for my Aglaea team, 156 on paper but 160+ in battle. Likely need to build a second relic set for him for Phainon.
@themightyant - Got Phainon and like you I'm having a mare with tuning. If I put spd boots on him he's 137, exactly the same as my Sacerdo's rebuilt Bronya lol. I'm committed to hyper Sunday though, looks like I'll be in the relic mines for a good while!
@Shigurui well done on Phainon and good luck with tuning, it’s a mare.
My biggest issue is trying to get all the buffs up simultaneously before his ult… especially on auto-battle, which I use a lot. I also rolled an ATK stat boots that rolled every substat into crit dmg and rate and the other substats are good too. Yet he wants SPD boots ideally. I’m possibly thinking of running him slow and hyper speeding supports.
Unsure, on paper it’s a massive DPS decrease, but I’m not that interested in grinding to build characters any more I just need them to be good enough to (ideally auto-battle) 33 MoC, 10-12 PF/AS on first try. You lose so little rewards, but gain so much time, and that’s what I’m all about now. I don’t want to play their little game of eternally building characters which keeps you on the hook. No thank you. Just build them to be good enough and move on. End game is bait.
@themightyant - Well I've got 2400 fuel banked, around 40 bottles and 1K relics to salvage so whatever I get out of that lot will have to do. I'm rebuilding my DoT units too so resources are being spread across the board. I'll be happy with good enough!
I did finish the new story stuff but used the skip button, I really don't care for the Amphoreus arc whatsoever. It took about an hour to do, I spotted a full playthrough vid on YT which was just a few minutes shy of 7hrs so I saved myself 6hrs of pointless yapping. That amount of word soup is the real timesink, I'll take the summary version over that tedium any day.
@Shigurui Haven't really done any since we last spoke, I've been out at the cricket for the past 4 days, but have been getting Sunday materials when I had a spare moment.
@themightyant - I see. Well, I've settled for base speed Phainon with 163 Sunday and 147 Bronya before combat. Aiming for 151 Bronya but for now I can get 10% extra speed from Ruan Mei in the flex. Playing manually I can get Phainon fully buffed into ult, auto is wonky but I play endgame stuff manually so its not an issue really.
@themightyant - I just found it lighter on resources tbh, trying for 136/5/4 was too much hassle when I'd already built hyper Sunday and a fast Bronya. Not rebuilding them for a negligible gain. That aside I just built Archer and that dude is nuts. Not a fan of Hunt path but he's really fun to use. Ratio on steroids lol.
@Shigurui I don't blame you. I'm not sure I will go that far either with speed tuning I might just go slow Phainon and fast supports I don't care about optimising to the nth degree anymore as long as they are good enough to get most rewards in end-game on Auto.
I used Phainon in SU and he SLAPS hard there. Like a better Acheron insta-killing enemies making runs faster, but better. I also forgot I was in SU and my jaw dropped as he was hitting for over 5 million DMG... then I remembered the crazy multipliers. Anyway i like him, at least in that mode, and decided to get his lightcone, won the 75:25 and have 19 wished to get Archers LC, I'll wish for something in the next banner.
Talking of Archer i've been logging in to build him and Sunday and a few others etc. but have my first major annoyance about dropping the game for a period. I'm almost out of Tracks of Destiny, these are the little orbs needed to upgrade Ascension skills A4 + A6 and Talent, Skill, Ultimate for Lv 9 & 10. Up to 8 per character, but I only have 10 left. It seems I only missed a few from limited event rewards and the weekly ones for Simulated Universe rewards.
This is yet another PURPOSEFULLY design economy to try and keep you playing and honestly I was a bit pissed off and ALMOST deleted the game again. But for now I go on. Looking forward to playing the story perhaps next week and abusing the SKIP button!
@themightyant - Nice one on the Phainon LC, that'll make life easier if you tune 136 etc. I went for it and lost, really can't complain though as its the first LC loss I've had since the game launched and I have almost a dozen from featured LC banners. I had a great run.
As for Tracks I've never had an issue but I do buy BP's so I'm paying to not have the issue and I always buy the 2 from the store each monthly refresh. Enjoy the story skip, I know I did lol.
@themightyant - Nah, not disappointed at all. Loss came very early, 10 pulls after getting Sundays LC so it was an easy one to take. Had to chuckle at Phainon slaps in DU, Arlan and Hook slap in DU
@Shigurui Not really. I am logging in to complete dailies but that's about it. I plan on finishing the Amphoreus story line quest but might drop it entirely after that. I'm just not finding enough time to play many other games at the moment, and i'd rather attack my backlog.
Talking of the questline I did do 2 story quests a month or two ago and as predicted about 6-8 months ago Phainon was Flame Reaver all along. I also definitely preferred stacking story quests rather than finishing and having to wait 6-12 weeks for the next one.
I think I am 1 or 2 story quests behind still. have they been any good?
How are you getting on with the game? Are you playing any other F2Ps?
@Shigurui Work has been pretty intense last couple of months so I barley have time to do even dailies once or twice a week. My Expedition 33 journey has also come to a halt as just no time to indulge and I had just reached the "Paintress".
I barely know what's happening in HSR anymore cause I went to town on the skip button lol. All I've mostly seen are the fully rendered cut-scenes but as they are so few and far apart It's difficult to know what's happening. I really did enjoy this game a lot in the beginning
@z0d15g0d - I'm right with you not knowing what's going on but I really don't care. With the exception of Castorice's arc I've hated every second of Amphoreus, the skip button has been the best thing to come out of it.
@themightyant - I'm still enjoying the core gameplay but that's about it. As above I'm sick and tired of Amphoreus. The sooner we're done there the better. Not playing any other F2P's. I deleted WuWa a few months ago.
Here's the codes from the 3.6 stream, they expire in a few hours so be quick if you want the jades.
@z0d15g0d@themightyant - Have you guys built new DH yet? I'm genuinely amazed we got this dude for free. I ran hardest DU with him E0S0 with Clara LC, Phainon E0S0, Cerydra E0S1 and Sunday E0S1 and his shield is ridiculous. Full auto brain dead mode too, nothing cracked that guy, very happy with him!
I haven’t been playing much, mostly just dailies and building a few characters (Evernight & DH). Yes DH seems super strong, I don’t even have good relics on him but he seems to survive most things.
I realised there was a new end-game mode but it required 36 starring MoC & 12 starring both AS and PF. I also realised I had never 12 starred PF but I managed it with a little effort. Then got pretty obliterated in the new end game. I think I only just finished 1 or 2 of the 4 fights. Seems like rewards for whales. Not that interested, it’s just deliberately tanky to get you to spend. Not fun.
I was miles behind in the story again but tried to catch up the other day. Unfortunately the Fate/Night questline was mandatory, thank the heavens for skip. After that I have just started the Cerydra storyline. I had tried to get her for Phainon but lost the 50:50 again. Other than that not a lot to report.
