I'm so happy for you swordz lmao, maybe not having Miyabi won't be such complete suffering now

Wait, is this just giving her stuff from her HZ abilities all the time?

Souns like Jane is the next buff. Feels like ZY needs it more.

Yep!

Gonna translate what I'm guessing was typed on a phone to "Jane" being the next buff and "ZY" needing it more. I agree! Jane was falling off a bit but Vivian alone has rocketed her back into relevance. Even without Vivian she's mostly held back by Physical bosses just not being much of a presence. ZY on the other hand despite having a very valuable element feels like she's not even hanging in there at all anymore - the vast majority of scores recorded with her on Prydwen for the last Deadly Assault phase weren't cracking 20k - including literally none above 20k for Dead End Butcher.

Whoops lol.

What they should actually do is buff Qingyi. Zhu Yuan's best team being Astra/Nicole stunnerless, or just using Trigger, is crazy. Also thinking about it, Zhu Yuan does not currently have a 5* support BIS (Astra was not really a big upgrade for her over Nicole), so I feel like we're unlikely to see buffs for her until she gets a dedicated 5* support. Ellen does have her BIS team out in Lighter/Astra and still needed buffed.

Isn't it Anomaly Butcher right now? That seems fine tbh. Not every matchup needs to be brute forceable by every character. Unless you mean last time normal Butcher showed up.

My guess is that before anyone gets an upgrade, they'd trial it in the Hollow Zero mode with the extra moves first, if at all.

I'm also gonna guess that, despite how fun their new moves were, Billy and Corin won't get buffed, as they don't want the A-Class Agents to be too good.

For sure, if there's a real reason why Jane still needs buffed it's because at M0W0 she's really not much better than M6 Piper lol

Did a cheeky 10 pull on Lighter's weapon banner at 40 pity and got...........a second Brimstone lmao

Well, I guess that's guaranteed Yixuan wengine assuming I get the pulls in time. And I guess I'm getting Hellfire Gears from selector for Lighter instead

I also decided to do a couple of 10 pulls on Lighter's weapon. Feeling a little emboldened by how many pulls we're getting in 2.0. Figured even if I lost, it would be a guaranteed for Yixuan. I got mine though, so that was nice!

Did Lycaon and Rina's agent stories finally. Lycaon's was fine. It was nice doing it and knowing that Lilac has a friend now. Also surprised that they already had Hugo's voice actor back then.

Rina's was great, probably one of the better stories. And a fun little TV mode section too. Only complaint is I still can't quite truck with her new VA. I know Rina is supposed to be late twenties, but she's definitely supposed to be more 'ara ara' and her new VA just sounds too young to pull it off.

Holy fucking GOD

Hm I'm making like 10k less with Hugo on DA this week even though the buff should be better...? No idea if HP inflation hit or if I'm fucking something up

Once again obligatory I hate Deadly Assault Bringer. Also Notorious Marionette because damn I somehow struggle to hit 14k. Ellen buffs cmon already I need youuuuu

Holy fucking GOD

Coolest possible way to continue to fuel the powerlevel debate lol

Also I was wrong about DA there's no HP inflation but the buffs are actually worse for Hugo this time? Still feels bad, maybe I'll go for a higher score. Or, more likely, see how much Yixuan annihilates it next week, the Ult buff and stage buff switching to Ether is probably some preemptive shilling for her.

I still have no answer for Bringer. I think I would rather face the teleporting twins in DA than Bringer even. Just remove his Physical Res and he becomes way less of an issue Hoyo and it helps Jane >_>

Bad news: Yixuan is also getting a shill boss so look forward to rotations with that and Bringer

I might end up grabbing her, but well see. Shes at least a little cooler than Miyabi imo

Miyabi was a character I wasn't sold on initially, but got her because she was strong. Then I played her chapter and found out she's this idiot battle junkie who is self-conscious about her height and likes melons and now she's one of my favourite characters.

So, hoping for the same for Yixuan, as right now I'm just getting her 'cause she's strong. Though, I do like her little bird friend.

Hmm for this DA I might just have to swap Burnice off and throw her into Burnice/Grace/Rina like I did last time for Bringer and then take on Notorious Pompey with Jane, Evelyn & someone else (maybe Caesar for comfort). As long as I can get 5-6 stars Im fine

It was skill issue lol...was not squeezing enough Totalizes in (I'm up to 7, some people can get 8 but thats beyond me). I also need to build my stunners enough that they can actually kill the clones...good thing new set is dropping!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a0ed975f.jpg

That's quite the adjustment! I managed 35k+ on Pompey with Eve/Lighter/Astra this week, felt super locked in.

Oh thank fuck for double drop event, I was completely cleaned out of exp and dennies after Evelyn + Hugo and will have to level two more agents (and wengines!) next patch

Monthly shop reset time! From standards I got nothing, but thats to be expected. Right now Im just farming drives to hopefully improve characters enough for the current Shiyu and DA, but otherwise just waiting for the Ellen buff and new version content that feels so far away still.

The worst news about her is her W-Engine is apparently 35% stronger than the W5 store rupture engine is going to be so its like you gotta pull for both

I watched Jsterns video and his calcs claim S rank stat stick attack wengines are marginally better than maxed out A rank Ruptures....which is pretty dire if true. Of course still 20% or more behind sig. I'll have to look at other creator calcs though.
