Guess I can’t complain too much bc I’ve been able to beat all content so far.

But I feel like whoever designed the banners was like, ok they have a nice foundation of 5 stars with great support and synergy, time to hammer them with dps, make dps blot out the sky.

I started during Blade banner and now have Blade and Kafka, and if I get the next guy I’m going to have yet a third dps than doesn’t synergize with my other dps and has to be supported by a janky ass 4 star team.

I feel like I’m going to be looking at guides for new 5 stars 10 banners from now and still reading how their best possible team consists of Luchua, Silver Wolf, and Bronya yet again.

    Are you free to play or paying?

    If you’re playing free, then it’s important not to pull on every banner, your jade income will slow down as you play. At the moment your best option would be to save as many tickets to pull for Fu Xuan, as she is a tank. The featured four stars are great too. Pela is a very important debuffer, and Lynx will be the second four-star healer.

    Also note that leveling each character is very resource intensive. If you pull for everyone, that means you’ll need to level everyone. After you unlock the final ascention you’ll realise how demanding these characters are. From level 70 to 80 is 2.7 million exp. From level 1 to 70 is 3 million.

    Granted, most players don’t prioritize leveling up to 80 as their attention is better invested elsewhere, but everyone should get their one friend-support character and lightcone up to 80, traces to 6/8/8/8 and complete relic set at level 9.

    This will make you very attractive to other players who will want to use you as a support character. Credits burn fast after 70, so each use of your support character granting 2,000 credits is very helpful in the long run. Another tip is to befriend low level players who don’t get suggestions beyond their ascention cap.

      Good advice, yea I’ll slow down, I only pulled both those as figured even if they didn’t synergy it would give me a good starting point for my two teams for Forgotten Halls. Only pulling something new now if it goes well with them.

      Not completely f2p, got the $5/mo thing but I am getting lowish on jade.

        Both Blade and Kafka were good banners to pull on. Be sure to level up Sampo for Kafka’s team if you have him.

        You should skip Imbibitor Lunae, you don’t need a third primary DPS. Fu Xuan is looking to be a very capable tank though. I’ll be pulling for her aggressively if she’s as good as I think she’ll be.

        I’ve saved up my jades since getting Silver Wolf, I have enough to guarantee Fu Xuan and her signature lightcone, but then I’ll be completely broke.

        It will take me a few months to guarantee my next pull w/ lightcone
