I was coming up on Normal Warp pity a few days ago and got Clara E1. Then with monthly tickets/DU/levelling up some of my guys I got a quick turn around and got... Yanqing lol. Well, only Bailu missing of the 7 standard peeps.

Also yay got 12 stars on new PF - second time, I think.

Big Herta/Smol Herta/Robin/Gallagher on Side 1 got around 25k which was enough to let
Castorice/RMC/Hyacine/Tribbie carry them with 40k on Side 2

40k on side 1 with Hysilens/Kafka/Black Swan/Huohuo, 31k side 2 with Herta/Herta/RMC/Hyacine.

Guys I'm starting to think DoT might be pretty good now.

Basically 30k with Castorice on side 1 and basically 40k on side 2 with Therta/Jade.

Can probably do a bit better with the Castorice team. Used Silver Wolf because Tribbie was occupied with side 2 and the enemies weren't quantum weak, but I suspect I would have been better off with something else like Ruan Mei or maybe even just double healer.

I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways.

I'll probably throw 30-40 pulls and hope I get lucky and get her early and win a 50/50

But any more than that and I don't think I'll be able to get Evernight and Cyrene.

I'm saving for Evernight and Cyrene too. Could more or less guarantee Evernight right now even if I lost the 50/50. Not sure how much jade there is between now and Cyrene but I'm guessing not enough to get a second such guarantee. Probably need to win the 50/50 on one of them.

I think, with how this beta is going today, I'm ok with skipping Evernight to guarantee Cyrene if it comes to that. Not my ideal preference, but seeming like it's ok if I have to save March for a rerun if needed. These past few banners have just been bleeding me dry.

I think it's just doomposting, she's fine but looks pretty much stuck as a memosprite support dps instead of a carry. Topaz 2. She should boost Castorice quite a bit, and Cyrene might help her too.

Biggest issue is Hyacine and the LC selection. Hyacine seems non-negotiable, and once again Hyacine LC is busted. I think it might be a better upgrade than Evernight LC...it might be a better upgrade than Evernight lmao

I was always under the impression from her kit that March was going to be a sub DPS, so people acting like it's problem that she's acting like a Sub DPS has been confusing to me.

I think it's Anaxa's fault, because it feels like he was legitimately made too powerful on accident (and his good Cerydra synergy doesn't help matters), and fucked with expectations moving forward.

Did not read the boss mechanics, just dropped Phainon on him and got 36 stars ez pz

New Dan Heng can't get here fast enough. Luocha is my secondary sustain, and he is barely hanging on by a thread. He's served me well, but it's about time to put him out to pasture.

meanwhile i was out there dying because side 1 was blasting all my teams except castorice but then if i sent her there they were also getting themselves blasted on side 2

but then i had the best and worst idea of "kafka's relics are shit that's why i didn't even bother to level them yet in the hopes i'll farm better ones later but could she make that damn stingray go away fast enough that everyone else can live?"

and so the worst dot team ever assembled - kafka/asta/ruan mei/gallagher took to the field and by god they did it. it took them 18 cycles lmao but they did it.

34 stars. >_>

Although I was kind of at the end of my rope there and forgot that since that team doesn't use MC I could have put RMC back on Castorice's group to speed up Side 2 but really was just kinda at the point of "please just let me 'clear' the stage at least"

Hysilens/Kafka/Black Swan/Huohuo cleared side 1 in 2 cycles I think, Herta/Herta/RMC/Hyacine did side 2 in 7. Probably could've gone faster if I'd used more of the free ultimates since that side was never really in danger of dying, but oh well I got all my rewards time to ignore the mode's existence for another 6 weeks.

Watching the Guoba stream, Nexus Anima looks bad. I genuinely do not see how this could represent the final product. This might be a full delay for 8 months and go back to the drawing board on the gameplay situation.

The game does look good visually. MC customization could be better. I don't personally care that it's female MC only (which could just be a beta thing), but I know some people will.

And yes I just copy and pasted the exact same message from the ZZ topic, sure me.

I really liked the restaurant event. Took maybe 2-3 hours total? But I could have been slow.

Eventually you basically can get it to mostly auto-play itself with enough upgrades (and those are the ones to prioritize imo)
