Servers are up..
Got E6 Welt, god damn useless Po S that has been useless since launch...
4th 50/50 loss in a row. If this was Genshin I would have hit a rainbow long ago and had one just given to me.
Haven't really been able to listen much, but Caelus/Stelle have sadly been recast. At least Stelle still sounds pretty good from the story recap thing, but it'll be a while before I have time for the story and hear more. For now the old voices are still in, presumably next patch is when the redubbing is done for them.
Mydei: I can only die from getting stabbed in this one very specific spot
also Mydei: dies from getting stabbed nowhere near said spot

Bewitching EyesI suppose it would be in poor taste to make a joke about Mydei getting rammed from behind by Phainon's thick sword

Bewitching EyesSo apparently for a free unit, Archer isn't currently very F2P friendly. Word on the street is that he absolutely needs Sparkle as a support.

Sorta, it's like they designed him to synergize perfectly with Sparkle. He is an SP burner like QQ or DHIL, his skill costs 2 SP per cast, can be cast multiple times per turn and each b2b-cast doubles the dmg of the next arrow. He himself has a passive that increases the SP cap by +1, this stacks with Sparkle's +2 so you can reach 8 SP max which lets you shoot a second +200% arrow if you were maxed.

Bewitching EyesBuffs for older characters (from the beta)
Blade: Now scales entirely off of HP
His FUA regenerates energy
His skill gives him a taunt
E1 now also affects enhaced attack
Jingliu: Also scales entirely with HP
Teammates losing HP gives her a stack of Crit DMG buff
Gains an extra stack of Syzygy when entering powered up state
E1 now lets her deal extra damage to the main target
E4 is changed entirely, is just a flat buff to Crit DMG now
E6 now also gives Ice resistance penetration
Kafka: Skill DOT trigger now affects all targets
Her Passives are reworked entirely: "Torture" is retooled entirely, it's old effects are now just built into her Ultimate, and it now buffs DOT damage if an ally has enough effect hit rate
"Thorns" now lets her FUA detonate DOTs, it can also activate more times
E1 now activates off basic attack instead of FUA
E2 now buffs Kafka attack for 3 turns when she uses a FUA, can stack up to twice
Silver Wolf: Ultimate is now AOE
Skill will prioritize adding weakness types of your party, chance of adding weaknesses incresed
When an enemy dies, Wolf's debuffs (including new weaknesses) will be transferred to a different enemy
Regens energy at the beginning of each turn
Higher effect hit rate will also increase her attack
E2 now increases damage taken, and will implant a Bug whenever an ally attack an enemy affected by it
Word on the street is that Kafka is the big winner here, she is now a solid DOT support who can deal out huge damage alongside that

Also you can just wait a patch and pick up Phainon instead, who looks to be more all-purpose than either
I mean, it works, but The Herta already eats up a ton of SP. Outside of a few bosses, mini-Herta is going to be a better bet
...I can manage it without Huohuo or any eidolons. She is kinda hard to play, and I think she needs a few kills to pull it off, but it's not some whale-only strat. But, still, Aglaea is absolutely not worth investing in for a new player
