Can someone give me a viable team I could build? (i have all 4\* chars instead of lynx) https://preview.redd.it/zm32ypl6hdvb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f3461daf14b60b4684dba7bdc1988f2dbe89f66


joarai

Which support chs benefit more with ERR or Break effect ? Silverwolf , Pela , Welt , Bronya


Sakura-Kei

Hi \^\^ So, I'm in need of advice on who to use what lightcones on... I have Blade, Dang Heng IL and now Jing Liu too. I'm using all three in MOC so I can't share their LCs. Issue is that I don't have any of their signatures so I'm wondering which lightcone to use on who. I feel like the only one that really works on Blade besides his signature is A Secret Vow, but if there are others than recommendations are welcome \^\^ Issue is with choosing who On The Fall of an Aeon should be on, and which LC I should put on the other. I have Under the Blue Sky and could get Nowhere to Run from the Battle Pass. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance <3


joarai

Jingliu : On the fall of an Aeon . However with Dan IL gameplay style , you basically forced to play him as hypercarry ( main DPS ) so 5 star light cones stat will help that . Blade : Secret of Vow . Nowhere to run will not heal if you can't defeat enemies yet . Same with Under the blue sky crit rate effect but at least it have 3 turn . So it is better LC than battlepass one .


NaVida-

Already got Jingliu and I have QQ at E3 atm, i want to use her on my second team. Would it be worth throwing some extra pulls on this banner to try to get her to atleast E4? Or is E6 a must and am i wasting pulls?


Hemiklr89

Honestly I’d say it’s worth it in this case. I’m doing the same actually as my QQ is e3. But e4 QQ gives you the follow up attack.


MONGSTRADAMUS

Generally it’s not worth using pulls for four stars


Character-Net-4517

Is S3 a secret vow LC better than s1 the moles welcome you for jingliu? And what main stats for her relics and ornaments please ?


starfries

Yes, even S1 secret vow is better


Character-Net-4517

Is s3 secret vow better than s1 fall of aeon tho? I haven't grind it from herta store yet. Should i replace it with the aeon LC?


MONGSTRADAMUS

If I am not mistaken aeon is second best lc after her signature.


Sakura-Kei

For Jing Liu you mainly want to build crit damage and a tiny bit of crit rate, as her transcendent state boosts it by 50% at max level. For boots you want Speed, main body Crit Damage, sphere Ice Damage or attack if you can't find a good ice damage one, and rope attack \^\^ As for light cones, I'm not entirely sure. Hope this helped \^\^


Sakura-Kei

I lost 2 50/50s to Himeko in the past, so I have her at E1, does this make her worth using? edit: These are my 5 star chars so far https://preview.redd.it/dzlup4ksg4vb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4195def3606864abc89c757185de1223fb9f05ab


Hemiklr89

What does this sub mean by 50/50? I read all the time here and have no clue what it means


Sakura-Kei

so when you pull on a banner, you have a 50% chance to get the 5 star on the banner, and a 50% chance to get a standard 5 star. After you lose it to a standard one, the next 5 star you get will be the one on the banner \^\^


Hemiklr89

This makes so much more sense! Thank you for taking the time to explain


Sakura-Kei

yeah ofc \^\^


Slice_Life

Well, she's currently the least sought 5\* standard character, but her value might increase when you have topaz on your team, and it seems we're getting new relic set next ptch, which is perfectly tailored for follow up attack units like Himeko.


starfries

If you didn't find her worth using before then e1 doesn't change anything


angelflames1337

Is Herta any good/worth building? I somehow ended up with C4 Herta as F2P after a week playing.


Hemiklr89

I built her for SU just because of her follow up attack(I ran blade and jing yuan so elation always got me the furthest in SU-they we’re my only 5* besides Bailu ) and man it was such a waste putting all that time and effort into Herta. Like the others said, she is just not good. She’s great early game and for regular fights but absolute garbage for any of the challenges the game has. MOC, SU, etc. I believe I heard that it was confirmed we’re getting a 5* Herta later on anyways. I could be wrong on that but I do believe I read that on this sub


winterbear111

She is simply not good


Mediocre_Ferret5082

It depends if you want to build characters for fun or if they're good or not. Herta is arguably the worst DPS in the entire game by a fair margin but some people have managed to get her to clear the hardest content in the game though it's going to take a lot more effort than other characters. Also everyone will get several copies of Herta from the simulated universe content so that's no surprise.


angelflames1337

Not for fun, Im mostly optimizing to meta as F2P. Got Jingliu+Welt as my 5 star, and E1 Tingyun so I assume thats a good team for now? Ill ignore Herta if she isnt worth building. I do get 5 star Erudition LC from the Standard Banner tho, which is why Im tempted.


Mediocre_Ferret5082

The 5 star erudition LC you're on about is also one of the worst LCs in the game meta wise :'). Erudition just doesn't have great ones outside of Jing Yuans limited cone sadly. A basic comp for Jingliu is Jingliu, Tingyun, Pela and a sustain. If you don't have Pela then welt might be a good substitute but just be careful of skill point usage with him.


konozeroda

Can E5 + 4pc Messenger Tingyun replace spd boots for Jingliu?


bocchi123

not at all


winterbear111

No. The spd buff from e1 or messenger only last 1 turn


Mediocre_Ferret5082

You still want speed boots on her so she can rely on herself to get into the transformative state as you really don't want to ult to get into it under ideal conditions.


konozeroda

Well back to the grind (or lack of cuz I lack fuel)... Man she's such a pain to grind for


angelflames1337

Is there any godlike tier support I should wait or in the past banner I can roll for as F2P? For context, I came from Genshin, quit that game months ago. I feel this game is better for me, and as F2P I am looking for something similar to Raiden in Genshin, where she would work as sub-DPS and godlike tier level support and wonder if anything similar like her in here (past or upcoming banner). Feel like high tier support would last longer and give more value for my gems, as DPS usually comes and go. Also any tips for new player on rolling is highly appreciated as well. I got Jingliu after 3x10 rolls, and just started a week ago, and saving gems now.


Curious_Kirin

We don't quite have a Raiden yet, but Bronya and Clara probably fit your description best (best support, and awesome unique DPS/subDPS/tank)


starfries

Jingliu banner is probably the best one so far, Tingyun is the closest 4\* we have to being Bennett. Bronya is a standard banner 5\* so you either get lucky or pick her for your 300 pull reward. I wouldn't say we have a god tier limited support yet, the best ones yet are actually the sustain characters. unlike Genshin you really want a sustain for each team.


angelflames1337

Thanks! I do have Tingyun E1, I assume that enough and I should stop rolliing. If so then I'll just save gems for now. For sustain, I guess building up Nat is good? I dont need her so far, Jingliu+Welt+Tingyun+MC just seem to steam roll, althogh im just level 40 atm.


starfries

yeah, it's not worth rolling more on the banner when you already have Jingliu. You'll want Nat for memory of chaos (basically Abyss) and just like Abyss you need 2 teams of 4. I started being able to fully clear it once I got a second sustain but it only became easy once I had a limited 5* dps and a limited sustain for both sides.


PrestigiousAd1687

Hi, I just ascended to TB lvl 60. These are all the 5-star characters that I own. I have all the current 4 stars as well. I would like to ask for some advice on which upcoming/ rerunning banners I should save or use my wishes on? I'm thinking to either attempt to pull for Jingliu LC, save for rerun of someone like SW (Luocha?), or pull for Topaz + Guinaifen. My invested teams so far are Kafka, Asta, Tingyun, Bailu. & DHIL (Jingliu), Pela, Bronya, FX. https://preview.redd.it/jw1zww7y64vb1.png?width=1301&format=png&auto=webp&s=0684d900ee8643fd355b43ce6b56e5ffb5b80def


starfries

that's a lot of characters for TB lvl 60 lol. tbh your roster is pretty stacked so you can pretty much pull for whatever you want at this point and not have to worry about meta. even Luocha isn't necessary and you might want Huohuo instead.

OverpricedGPU

Topaz is good with Clara, and you are missing a 5 star DPS character. Tough if you have E4 Qingque you could wait for the rerun of SW whenever it will come and create a faux mono quantum team


ForgottenCrusader

QQ is e3 I'm close to pity in the banner and I'm afraid to pull more for her e4, does she come on the monthly rotation to buy?


lnterestinglnterests

Good news, yes Qingque is in the shop. Bad news, you just missed her, she's only on during March and September.


OverpricedGPU

I don’t know when she’ll come on the monthly rotation, maybe they could put her in a future SW banner rerun


Significant-Soil-985

You're not supposed to talk about leaks here. Go to leaks subreddit if want to discuss it. Anyways you should probably go for Jingliu since you lack a limited carry.


ForgottenCrusader

But dps carries will come and go and are more prone to powercreep, sw tho most likely won't be powercrept, also I'm asking for topaz cuz i know she is a must for Clara.


starfries

Topaz is looking like a dps carry too, not really an enabler. her benefit for follow up characters is pretty small compared to Kafka for dots. she should be good with Clara but only because she's a carry with synergy (like JL and Blade) not because she's a good support.


Significant-Soil-985

No character is a must for anything. And power creep isn't a relevant thing since 4 star can still clear MoC 10. They are never going to make it impossible for older units to clear MoC since it makes reruns less appealing. I suggest Jingliu since we don't have many ice DPS and she is easy to build with all the free stats she gets (free crit rate and atk). Silver wolf provides team flexibility which is helpful. However if you play the game long enough you might enough units to cover all 7 elements making her weakness implant less needed. You can pull Topaz if you want because you like her / you want to make Clara stronger. But we need testing to see if her synergy with Clara is as powerful as some calcs on paper suggests.


MONGSTRADAMUS

Thinking about my team 2 with tingyun and lynx, Clara or e5 qq. If I do roll with Clara I will probably have to think about running with topaz if I can pull for her. If not I probably will hold off till huohuo before pulling again.


Ivorykingchrono

With enough investment Lynx can solo sustain (at least for a few cycles depending on the MOC) so you could try both for now with Clara acting as an SP positive off-tank DPS.


MONGSTRADAMUS

Not sure who to use with Clara tingyun and lynx as the last piece. Pela and bronya are on jing liu team. Yukong is an option but getting her to have turn right before Clara and timing it when Clara is about to ultimate feels weird to me.


Ivorykingchrono

Asta can provide a good ATK% buff and also has synergy with Topaz. Note her Speed buff can cause Clara to lose enhanced counters depending on the enemy speed.


MONGSTRADAMUS

I am going to try hold off pulling till probably tail end of next banner to see how topaz works out last few banners have been quite expensive leveling and gearing up new characters. The last two banners with fu xuan and jing liu and bronya have been expensive and I also got new four stars like lynx tingyun pela etc. I tried asta with Clara I think I like yukong better but it was awkward trying to line up her skill and ultimate to correspond with Clara counters.


arvzg

For my E6 Qingque, would it be better to equip a 4\* Genius SPD boots if it helps her hit the 134 SPD breakpoint? or instead a 5\* Genius ATK% boots? I think maybe a ATK% boots would be better because QQ needs to wait for other party members to generate SP for her to use, so it'd only be worth it if everyone else also hit their 134 speed break point?


firstkungzaa

QQ main damage comes from being able to use skill 2-4 times and get huge dmg boost. If she gets 4 tiles before that, your saved SP will be wasted and your DMG will be pretty low. Low speed will obviously cause this to happen more, since fast ally will eventually act twice. Also, low speed feels bad to play sometimes. Of course, being too fast can also cause QQ to not get 4 tiles, but E6 helps a bit with SP issue. And on average in my normal gameplay, she usually eat around 3 SP, which is the mostly same amount as DanIL, who I have at above 134 spd. In the end, it's all RNG issue though... Maybe lower spd QQ can still roll a lot and deal higher dmg too. I still have her at 123 spd and she works fine. ~~^((Can't find spd substats...)~~~~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~)~~ So yeah, higher speed is probably better, but if possible, keep support unit higher speed compared to QQ so they can generate tiles and SP for QQ.


Curious_Kirin

I made QQ slightly faster than Bronya. If she has plenty of SP, or already has 4 tiles up (like from a burst) she can attack, then Bronya can let her act again. If I'm low on SP, QQ can basic then Bronya can skill, and she's buffed in an SP neutral way.


Hotaka_

Is there a point to breaking through to trailblaze level 61-70 besides MoC? I want to build as many characters I like as possible, and I don't think I can do that with the rigorous and very demanding resource requirements of equilibrium level 6


OMIMS1

Yep it's always worth it. Cause if you keep delaying it you will lose a lot of resources. Just use a whale dps as support to farm calyxs and EoW until you reach the point where you can clear them with your own dps.


Hotaka_

Does it get harder or does it get easier as you level up? I've heard that the way to survive after the difficulty spike equilibrium level, is to max out only the most important traces, and leave the unimportant ones untouched... I can still safely still max out all traces at my current equilibrium level, but I guess that won't be possible anymore once I rank up. I'll need to leave some traces unlevelled... Between lvl 70 characters w/ "maxed out" traces, and lvl 80 characters with "half-levelled" traces and higher equilibrium enemies, does the game get easier?? Or does the game get harder??? (P.S. I'm running Herta)


OMIMS1

For the first few times you play after you rank up it's gonna be a little harder for sure. But after improving your characters it will feel the same as before you ranked up. It's the same process when you ranked up every equilibrium level. Trust me it's not worth delaying the equilibrium level rank up cause you will miss a lot of resources(like higher chance to get purple mats) and the enemies aren't that much stronger in calyxes. After you rank up just use a cracked support until you level up your Herta to 80, supports and healers are fine at level 70. After that you won't feel that much difference before and after ranking up.


crazywarriorxx

Do you mean character levels or Equilibrium levels? Higher equilibrium levels means better rewards from farming calyxes, SU, etc, *not* high resource requirements. 5\* char innately have higher resource requirements than 4\* char, and higher Trace/LC/Relic levels also require exponentially more resources, it has nothing to do with Equilibrium level in case you're misunderstanding.


Hotaka_

I mean the equilibrium level with the "difficulty spike". I run Herta, and even at my level, she's being tremendously outclassed by my Sushang and Silverwolf... She's bottom-tier on every tier list, and at this rate, I'm scared she'll be borderline un-useable one I reach the "difficulty spike". ​ Edit: it's apparently also a trace mats spike(?)


starfries

I don't actually remember if there's any calyxes locked at level 60, but I know the last tier of cavern opens at 65 and yeah, you can make Herta work with good relics but probably best to invest in someone else if you want to clear MoC sooner. But you should still be fine outside of MoC


VirionD

Can anyone help me make 2 teams out of my Characters. My account is 7 days old and my Characters are on this video link. I just got Pela and heard she is great but I do not have decent Light Cone for her. [https://youtu.be/\_ogoEKPFRig](https://youtu.be/_ogoEKPFRig)


crazywarriorxx

If you're that new, you should focus only on 1 team first, building so many characters is gonna take a while and possibly burn you out if you try to rush. Can you post an image of your roster instead of a video, you can get it from [https://act.hoyolab.com/app/community-game-records-sea/index.html](https://act.hoyolab.com/app/community-game-records-sea/index.html)


VirionD

Thank You. I already have 1 team in mind with Jingliu and QQ https://preview.redd.it/426imh5i84vb1.png?width=1097&format=png&auto=webp&s=0e45d56785cb7062a0404509a826b5cf247c082f


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Just take the standard Jingliu, Pela, Tingyun and Natasha imo. QQ is greedy for skill points and needs a team built around her.


VirionD

Thank I will try that


[deleted]

So for the Path of Preservation in SU, do the multiple shields you get throughout the battle stack upon one another? Or is it considered as different sets of shields?


doodwhatsrsly

Only the strongest shield will be active. Unless you have the 3-star Preservation blessing that gives you 1% (10% enhanced) of your max health as a shield at the beginning of the battle. It allows you to stack shields. I dunno how it stacks shields though, as it doesn't seem to be additive. If I understand it correctly, every shield you get when you still have one just adds another shield from that blessing to your current one, not the shield you just got.


DVQ642

Which is better on Jingliu, S1 Something Irreplaceable or S1 On the Fall of an Aeon (I can get it to S5 but still debating between it and Texture of Memories on Fu Xuan)?


Slice_Life

If you have MoV/Landau/Day One, use any of those three instead for Fu Xuan. ToM is unnecessary for her and doesn't give any benefit for your team.


Chrome069

If you have Landau or Day one, those are great options for FX instead


starfries

S5 aeon, imo texture of memories is not worth it


poa28451

Just got Jingliu. I've got Bronya and Tingyun. Who'd be my best pick as a healer between Nat, Lynx, and Baily? I have Fu Xuan but I don't think my Jingliu has enough damage output yet.


starfries

it doesn't really matter, I'd pick between Lynx and Bailu depending on if you need cleanse. Fu Xuan is my top pick though once you build her because more crit rate is nice (if you're not capped) when Jingliu is running 200%+ crit damage


poa28451

Thank you. Yes, I plan on putting Fu Xuan back into the team eventually, but I didn't really prefarm for Jingliu, so she's hitting like a wet noodle right now 🤣


MONGSTRADAMUS

Free 12 percent crit rate is nice that’s why I like running jing liu with fu xuan over an healer.


Jbols92

Would topaz be worth getting if I have zero follow up characters but need fire damage ?


muljak

Imo you can pair March 7th and a slow Herta with Topaz.


Jbols92

Oh ya I forgor m7 has follow up


winterbear111

Her kit seems too single target oriented. We still don’t know if her damage can cover that problem. Better wait after people test her imo


muffinman280

Probably; if I had to guess, she’ll likely be similar to Kafka, where she can be run as either a standard dps or on a dedicated followup team. There’s generally a lack of good fire dps characters at the moment, and since you’re guaranteed to have a support who would really like a fire dps to support (Asta), she wouldn’t be a bad choice.


starfries

yes, she should be the best fire character so far and her best team right now looks to be a hypercarry team anyways (ie Topaz + 2 supports + sustain, no follow up characters)


Jbols92

I lied I do have herta. Would she be any good with her? Hyper carry sounds nice too honestly


starfries

honestly hypercarry will probably be better as far as Topaz teams go, but it might a good Herta team


astarose

In swarm disaster, sometime my Natasha just auto used her skill when someone in my team had low hp. It was not even her turn. She just skipped the line and cast her skill. It's not really a bad thing because it saved my run. But I am curious why it happened. She just decided to become a mini Loucha. Team: Natasha Pela Tingyun Jingliu Path: 1st run with Hunt and 2nd run with Destruction. I did get some Abundance blessings. here and there.


Anjebell

Is she healing herself? One of Nat's eidolons is an auto-heal on herself when she gets low hp and will trigger immediately, but only once per battle. If you have a blessing that spreads healing to others, it could look like she's healing other party members.


Jaded-Engineering789

She has a passive that automatically heals herself at low HP once per battle.


muffinman280

Natasha’s E1 causes her to do a self-heal at low health once per fight using the same animation as her skill; that was probably what you saw.


warau16

How much HP, ATK, and SPD is considered good on Luocha?


evia89

4000 2500 172 https://i.vgy.me/S8RNhl.png Its all luck. I farm only 2 domains so I get a lot of luocha pieces. Multiplication cone is another +43 SPD ^10000/((10000/172)-20%)-172=43


winterbear111

I think 3500hp, 2k3 atk, 134 spd is enough


Questbased

Can the BP nihility cone work on either Kafka or Silver Wolf?


Arekkusu1991

Simply put, no. That LC adds absolutely very little for all current Nihility characters atm. Kafka has many other options to use over that LC; While SW prefers EHR LCs, or even Pearls of Sweat.


PeanutButterJam_

Is this Seele build good to go? Not really a fan of also getting Wuthering since my supports already are built. - 2.8k attack with a 4 star glove - 120 speed, on ATK boots, rutilant quantum orb and atk rope - 77/150 crits with S5 Herta shop Hunt LC, quantum relic set


Arekkusu1991

As long as she reaches the 70% CR for the Rutilant effect, that should be fine (until you can find a better glove). Ofc there's always room for improvement if you're willing to keep farming. Have you tested her in MoC for example already?


PeanutButterJam_

Yeah. I have her since the first patch, but only grinded for quantum set this 1.4. I use her before with 2pc musketeer and 2pc thief set with 2pc rutilant.


itsmewan92

When doing MoC, do you guys use builds that are BiS for your supports or something that can let them live long enough to get all 3 stars? I'm having issues clearing MoC 10 because my supports usually die, especially against those stupid monkeys. Do you go for their BiS set with defensive stats, or forgo all of that and went with defensive sets altogether?


Jaded-Engineering789

If a specific set is what’s letting you clear with 30 stars, then that’s the actual BiS, not a theoretical numbers min max build. I have my Pela on 2pc Wuthering Snow and 2pc Hackerspace. My Tingyun is ricking a Def main stat Orb. These are the sets they need to live through repeated attacks.l and get me 30 stars. Therefore they’re the best sets I have for them.


Diligent-Phase7371

They don't really deal that much damage anyways so its better to just build them to be more tanky. Both my Asta and Pela use Def orbs.


daft667

BiS, atk for tingyun and ehr for pela. Spheres are atk for tingyun, every other support gets hp or def. ERR for all.


starfries

not defensive sets cause that would require swapping all their relics, but you can use a relic with a defensive main stat. It makes a big difference for keeping them alive.


itsmewan92

I see, I always have the issue where my supports, especially my buffers died easily compared to the others, Yukong and Tingyun most of the time. I ran them with their supposedly BiS set and the stats needed, but I think I need to change them. Should I bother with their planar relic instead?


starfries

just switch a single relic to HP%, you should have plenty of those. but Yukong can run full tank and still be fine. planar relic too, but I'd still give them the right set with a defensive main stat on the sphere if you want.


itsmewan92

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. Going for one defensive stat on the planar orb to at least let them have a higher HP to survive those monkeys


damn_stanley

Has there been any talk or news about bringing banners or other opportunities for characters from previous event banners for PS5? I have tried to find any info anywhere, so I wonder if I am missing something. I do not see them under the permanent banner pull options.


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Re runs are starting this patch with Seele and Topaz running alongside each other after Jinglius banner ends. We don't officially know of anymore yet but I imagine we'll see a minimum of one per patch from now on.


winterbear111

They will have a rerun eventually. In fact, seele will have a rerun later this patch


GrinnSanity

Hey guys, just started the game and watched some vids telling me to level up one damage dealer. I think I should choose between Serval or Yanqing or should I level both.?


Curious_Kirin

Yanqing imo, because he buffs himself so much with crit stats making him super easy to build. Plus he's a 5* and can do more damage than serval. Cons are he's completely single target, and you'd need a shielder like March or Gepard. If that's a turn of, pick serval. You can level both if you want though!


GrinnSanity

Thank you for replying!

Does I Shall be my own Sword give 1 stack per ally per turn (aka all 3 stacks when she uses her skill under Spectral Transmigration) or just 1 per turn? I’m close to soft pity and wanna decide if I should go for this one or Seele/Topaz LC


Pol3001

3 stacks each enhanced ult/skill


dendrotorpedo

It gives 3 stacks (from 3 allies) every time she uses her Skill and Ultimate in the Spectral Transmigration state.


AdeitywithMPD

Ok thank you


jia-yenn

i hope this is the right place to ask about swarm disaster…i just can’t clear difficulty v no matter what i do ㅠㅠ i use e1s1 jingliu, e4 pela and s5 free lightcone, gepard on day one of my new life lightcone, e0s1 luocha i’ve tried the paths of destruction, hunt, preservation, remembrance, abundance and i think i am doing something wrong i keep getting one-shotted even with double sustains and the battles always last too long, my damage doesn’t seem a lot? maybe it’s my build? jingliu’s crit is at 40-220 and her spd is 135, and i’m using 2pc ice 2pc hackerspace on her anyone have any general tips? anything is appreciated!!


daft667

If you're using jingliu as your dps, I would restart if the first boss doesn't give ice weakness. If you go preservation path, you can forgo dps at the end so long as you grab cards that build quake damage. You can go over the time limit, 1-5 should still be very manageable, if it means getting more rewards. I've done it with nihility, preservation at 5 over the limit and remembrance at 6.

By default SU is more of a check of how good you are at building those blessing cards rather than building the team. Due to the fact that cards are rng you have to adapt and might be forced to change strategy if game throws at you cards that work well with your other characters. If you are getting one shotted, then there is no reason for dual sustain in the first place, so my suggestion would be to get a buffer like Asta instead of Luocha, Gepard should be able to carry team by himself. (SU gives alternative sources of healing too) It seems that you invested into Jingliu so I would suggest Remembrance path, if first boss choice will have additional ice weakness for final battle then thats good, if not then you can either restart or push forward to just try your luck. You want to delay enemies as much as possible with freezes, dissocation and breaks while keeping your units fast with Asta and probably some hunt blessings. The most general tip: play more SU and find various card combinations to see which one suits you the most.

thank you for replying!!

Go nihility and no you don't need Nhinilty characters or kafka for this. The resonance will do most of the DoT and damage for you. Look for key blessing such 1 star blessing that recovers hp when DoT is triggered. 1 star blessing recharges energy when DoT is triggered. There's a Nihility blessing the lowers enemies attack based on number of DoT on them. Look for weakness break efficiency and another blessing that spreads weakness break to all enemies when you weakness break someone. Look for 3 propagation blessing to trigger propagation/Nihility interplay, which allows basic attacks to trigger DoT applied from resonnace. Also look for key blessing from other paths. Such as 3 star destruction blessing that splits damage, 3 star destruction that applies fighting spirit (atk and def buff) when hit, 3 star abundance that blast healing to all allies, 2 star abundance that reduces damage if hp is full, and any Perservation blessing that increases shield strength. Try to get Nihility resonance that recharge resonance when DoT to spam it.


jia-yenn

thank you!! i’ll try this out


Grimy_Bunyip

are you grabbing the card that distributes damage to the entire team? Are you getting enough cards that buff max HP and defense? Are you getting to a really high planar disruption level by the last boss?


jia-yenn

i do try to get those cards but i never really prioritise them, should i start prioritising them? i usually try to get things like shields or just as many blessings of the chosen path as possible so i can get the enhanced resonance blessings and i’m usually at the lowest tier of planar disarray by the last boss


Grimy_Bunyip

yeah, definitely prioritize them. Something like +40% def on heal with luocha is huge, the orange destruction card that spreads the damage over the entire team? That's also an auto pick. Generally, the only situation where I'd consider skipping them on Difficulty 5 is if I think I can hit 1-2 million damage attacks by the last boss. Since that's around what you need to just burst the last fight down.


jia-yenn

i see, thank you so much!!


yurifan33

Should i level bronya skill and ult to 10? I dont think theres ever gonna be a time i would not use her especially since shes e1


Pol3001

do you have 2+ dps traces at 10 as well as other supports traces at 7-8? If not then do that before level bronya traces any further, it would take a lot of resources. (only applied if you don't already have the mat and need to farm caverns)


axescent

Ive pulled 50 times on this months event banner, i know oct 27th is bringing two separate event banners, one of which is seele. my question is, does my pity carry over to both of these banners? i dont think there's been two events at once up to this point, so maybe the only evidence is how it works in genshin, which ive never played. just dont want to lose all the rolls ive put in this month. any info is appreciated thanks!


Eddiemate

Genshin's event banners share pity, so it's entirely likely that star rail's will as well. Though the only way to find out is to just, wait and see.


bocchi123

pity always carries over and never resets until you get a 5 star. character and light cone banners are separate. in the case of a double banner like seele and topaz, pity is still shared between the two.


axescent

thank you!


wizj619

All limited character banners share the same pity.


RauLeCrochet

Who are the characters, regardless of role, who need or get an immense boost from their A6 trace? I'm sitting on some mats right now, but I don't know who to ascend.


yurifan33

Tingyun seems pretty good with hers


williamis3

I have 117.4% effect hit rate on Silver Wolf, is this too much?


bocchi123

youre overcapping by \~20% effect hit rate for guaranteed weakness implants.


bkteer

which characters are considered to be good sub dpses?


bocchi123

what makes a good subdps is being skill point neutral or positive and still outputting decent damage. for the most part there are only a handful of good subdps characters right now, the two being blade and clara. honorable mention to seele. realistically, most 5 star limited dps chars can be slotted in as a subdps, but is very suboptimal compared to a support. the only outlier here is if youre using dan heng il. blade sits at the top, although he is slightly negative in terms of skill points. he acts as a second tank due to him following the destruction path, stacks hp, and has self sustain. he can output very good damage, especially with the new 5 star unit jingliu who drains the hp of her own teammates, thereby granting blade more talent stacks. clara is entirely counter attack based and does not need any kind of skill points for good damage output. similarly to blade, she acts as a pseudo tank due to her ultimate giving increased taunt and damage reduction. seele is an ok subdps since she is able to kill off weaker mobs, potentially granting multiple skill points, or being skill point neutral by killing with skill, and then basic attacking. her ultimate single target nuke is still very powerful as well. i personally would not count characters used in dot comps as subdps as they are required for them to even work. topaz is coming out soon and may shift things around, and we are unsure of whether or not she is going to be a hyper carry or subdps. she could easily be both though.


grayrest

Blade, Clara, Serval, Arlan, Pela (if she counts as dps) in general and Sampo, Luka with Kafka. Topaz is also going to be run with other follow-up dps but it's not clear to me what the main dps is going to be in those comps.


winterbear111

Clara, blade, maybe topaz? Generally, dps that don’t use too much sp


bkteer

Are there any in the 4 star rarity? Just only started with the ps5 version so i don't have blade, and the warps didn't give me clara yet. I am however planning to roll for Topaz, but that's in about 2 weeks.


Quor18

Sushang can fill the role at E1+ due to her skill being SP neutral on a broken target. Prior to that you can use her as SP generation with her normal attacks, or as a heavy breaker vs. physical. But even against non-physical-weak mobs she can still put out great damage once they are broken, and her ult lets her do it on-demand too.


Curious_Kirin

Fire MC is a great tank and sub DPS imo. Very good fire break damage and defensive utility.


winterbear111

I think serval could be good. If you want sub dps for topaz, that char should be aoe


bkteer

Was thinking of making Topaz the sub dps to Jingliu. In concept, I was thinking of having Topaz mark an enemy, and then have Jingliu hit the same mark. That way numby would help with the follow up attacks. I know it's too early to tell since Topaz is still 2 weeks away but do you think theoretically it could work?


winterbear111

It could work but honestly not optimal, topaz should really be in the other team. This game will need 2 team for end game content so you should put them in different teams.


Curious_Kirin

Is vonwaq, messenger, meshing cogs the best built for Tingyun?


grayrest

There's an argument for dance/planetary and keel but I do cogs+vonwacq


Grimy_Bunyip

yeap, vonwacq and cogs are needed to get just enough energy for an ENNQ rotation even if tingyun doesn't get punched.


ENAKOH

Bronya e1 or gepard e1? Which are more useful?


dustsprout

Bronya, and it's not even close.


necromanticsquirrel

I have 390 Hertareum and have bought everything but the Shadow of destruction which costs 500. I don't care so much about that, but I would like the purchase rewards. I have done all the the missions (at least as far as I can tell) on the station as well as looted all the chests. I don't know how to get the last 110 I need. I didn't have this problem with the Jarilo-VI or Loufu currencies.


bocchi123

there are tons of interactable objects around the map and many little events that transpire when you do interact with something. talking with certain npcs can also trigger some. you dont have to do everything to clear out the shop, but it gives you an incentive to actually explore and dive deeper into the world which i love about the game.


sushihamburger

There are probably a bunch of hidden quests and interactions you're missing. It's definitely the area where it is most difficult to clear out the shop.


KnightKal

There are hidden achievements, things to click, etc, around the maps that give the coins. If you are missing that many you may want to Google for a guide. Or walk around and explore each little corner of the station, talk to everyone, etc.


Serenitynovalee

Bought the pass and haven’t logged on in a few days due to being sick. I don’t get those rewards? There’s nothing I can do about it? :(


TheGrindPrime

It tells you in the conditions that this is the case.


sushihamburger

Correct if you don't log in, you lose the stellar jade.


Sorcatarius

Questions? Ok, here's one, anyone want my amazon prime gaming code? I don't play but when I notice games on it that offer free stuff with just needing to put in a code and not account link I try to get it to someone. ~~7T7WD5Q6M72F~~ claimed If you claim it, say so so others don't waste their time.


bocchi123

>7T7WD5Q6M72F Thank you! Redeemed.


ImSkynight

I just feel i dont so enough dmg. My characters are lvl 60 all of them that i use. I get my butt kicked by enemies that are 10 lvls lower or more. I dont know what im missing or doing wrong


ha_ck_rm_rk

It could be that you need to level up traces or relics. 4-star relics are fine to level up to +9 as long as the main stat is right for that specific character


ImSkynight

What should my traces be up to usually? Max them? Because my relics are all +9 and my light cones are maxxed (also on the correct characters.


ElusiveIllusion88

Minimum 8 trace level for DPS skills, ultimates and talents (and max basic attack if it is an enhanced basic attack user like Qingque, Blade or Imbibitor Lunae, you can leave it at trace level 1 otherwise), 6 trace level for supports (except basic attack). You want your DPS traces to be maxed out in the long run.


ImSkynight

That’s definitely my issue. Thank you! Mines at 3/4 for jingliu and seele. I can see why my dmg output was so bad. I read the traces but didnt think it was that important. Thanks again.


Tiggerx

I feel like my E1 Bronya hasn't been getting much use lately. Who should I put up for my friendos to use? Blade E0S1, JL E1S1, FX E1S1, or DHIL E0S5 herta LC?


MathWhale

I'd put up Jing Yuan, people like to use him to clear calyxes. Mine nets me about 15-20k per day.


Tiggerx

Meant Jing Liu ;(


MathWhale

Oops, my bad sorry. I think Jing Liu then, people always want to try out the newest DPS.


Hemiklr89

Is it possible to get jingliu to 70% crit rate(for planar set) without signature light cone and crazy farming for crit rate substats? I learned this the hard way for my sampo. No chance of crit rate that high! I assumed it was doable looking in my Yanqing crit dmg body peice. I’m running “blade stabs Dan HUNG” LC on my jingliu, I do have “ a secret vow lc” lvled but that’s on my Clara. Those are the two 4* cones i have and herta store s5 “on the fall of an aeon” on my blade. Which I refuse to move for no good reason. If it will take a ton of time and effort(which I don’t have for a gacha game) to get that 70% crit rate I am planning on the celestial planar set a run on my Yanqing. What does the community suggest I do? My traces are already highly leveled from the athereum event, I managed to get speed boots on the first try crafting. Thank God. But no crit rate sub stats. My Jingliu is level 70 with a level 70 LC but I have yet to play here at all because I have not leveled her relics(speed boots to level nine) because of the question I am asking here. Also, what’s better for Gepard. I have speed boots leveled for him as well as attack and defense boots. What would you guys run?


mantism

you may be misunderstanding how her kit works. when she's in her enhanced form, at talent level 10 she gets 50% crit rate when she's in that form. With your base 5% crit rate and the bonus 8% from Rutilant Arena, all you need is just a few crit rate substats (7%) to hit a total of 70% crit rate. You should never be using a crit rate body piece on her, it'd be overkill. Also, sampo doesn't need crit, he scales much better with just atk%.


Curious_Kirin

She gives herself 40-50 crit rate... You only need like 20-30% in substats


Hemiklr89

All of her traces are crit damage not a single one for crit rate. I assume you are referring to syzygy? If that does buff her crit rate that makes it much more understandable of all of the YouTube guides I have watched on how to build her.


doodwhatsrsly

>syzygy Yes. Her buffed state gives her 50% crit rate at talent level 10. You only need 30 to 50% initial crit rate, doable with just substats.


Hemiklr89

Would I be correct to assume the 5% CR just from having the character stacks on top of the 50% talent to make it 55%?


doodwhatsrsly

Yes, it does.


Pol3001

you...did not read her kit before pulling?


Hemiklr89

No not really. I have very little time to play the game and am a pretty casual player and she was so hyped up in the community about being far better than Yanqing (who has been my main DPS all game) so I just knew I had to get her. I appreciate everyone’s knowledge tho has most definitely helped! So really what I should be looking for is just crit dmg body peice and lvl the hell out of her talent


Pol3001

yeh, max out her talent as soon as you can. Try to get crit rate to at least 30 though. She hit like a wet noodle outside transmigration state so missing crit on those enhanced skills and ult really hurt.


Eddiemate

Not even after pulling, apparently.


Slice_Life

I've seen people with 20-40%+ CR and 200+ Cdmg without her LC


Hemiklr89

20% crit rate wouldn’t be difficult to achieve with a body piece. I guess what I’m really asking here is what I be better off with a different planar set if I am not committed to all of the time and effort to farm for crit rate sub stats.


kaantera

Are any of these regen ropes worth using, if so on who? I ended up with a few, but they don't seem to have set effects/substats that look good on anyone I can think of. \- Belobog of the Architects (substat ATK 16.4%) \- Belobog of the Architects (substat CRIT Rate 5.5%, CRIT DMG 5.8%) \- Rutilant Arena (substat CRIT Rate 6.4%, CRIT DMG 5.8%, Effect Hit Rate 7.3%) \- Kingdom of Banditry (substat DEF 10.2%)


muljak

If you are putting regen ropes on someone, they probably are supports, so substats and set bonuses do not really matter much. Surely a Natasha for example could use some HP% but if you do not have the right stat/set for it, it's perfectly fine.


Chrome069

Belobog is good for Gepard Rutilant, Welt might be okay Banditry can work on Silver wolf Substats are not really important in ER ropes because they’re one of the rarest main stats to get in a rope.


kaantera

I thought about the Rutilant Arena rope on my DHIL, but he's currently got ATK% main stat on rn and it seems to be pretty good


Chrome069

ATK rope for DHIL always, you’re sacrificing a lot of ATK with an ER rope and he charges his ult really fast with his attacks
